Assassins Journey For Forgiveness

Chapter 18: Christmas Special (Short)



Sighing I drank some hot chocolate while standing out in the snow as I watched my kids and guns build some snowmen. Or snow-women in Kūsho's case as she some how made snow boobs stick to one without gravity ripping the balls of snow off. Beside me sat a black cat licking its paw, but glancing down at the cat I chuckled at the two gold and black kittens beside them. Without even looking towards the trouble as it started I spoke and got a hissing whine in return.

"Ramli-Syr, stop trying to stab your sister with a carrot carved into a Bowie Knife. Sakura may be an annoying shit at times, but your the older brother so deal with her chatter peacefully."

(AN: Ramli means Sandy, and Syr means Snow, so he is called Sandy-Snow)

Yoruichi chuckled while in her cat form as we then heard Douglass punch his brother in the face. Shaking my head I just smiled to myself as I thought about the madness five kids brought to my life. Because two sons and three daughters was interesting to say the least in all honesty. Just the names are all over the place as from Pschent we've got Ramli-Syr, Sakura, and Castro as the honestly chimera bunch, while from Suì-Fēng we've got Douglass and Lah-Jakkaru. So the names are really all over the place due to the two trying to interoperate names or words from all three regions.

(AN: Lah (pronouced as Yah) is Egyptian for Moon, and Jakkaru is Japanese for Jackal. So Lah-Jakkaru is named Moon Jackal.)

Glancing towards Karu I see my little moon jackal just peacefully watching her siblings with a smile under her scarf. Her naturally white hair with black highlights swaying gently in the breeze carrying snow flakes around. Her hazel and aquamarine eyes looking at them all fondly while she watches them play in the snow. Waving Yoruichi a parting I walked towards her and then just stood beside her silently for a while. She eventually said something while I drank from my mug.

"Dad... do you think grandma would be happy to see us? We never really got to meet her growing up. We know she was there when we were born, but then she wasn't around anymore..."

"She would've adored you all to the moon and back, she was hyperactive when she saw all of you that she forced Urahara to help her get Grandma Yoruichi pregnant because she couldn't think straight for a week."

"What happened to her...."

"She died permanently due to my Jenosido when Aizen took you all. She followed me and Xane, and to make sure you all weren't killed she bore the weight of it with her soul otherwise you'd all be dead instead. She stood there a hollow shell that crumbled to dust when I reached out to touch her, a smile on her face as she looked at you. Otherwise she'd still be here, because a Juki normally can't die easily unless a denizen of Hell kills them."

She said nothing else, but that was fine. It happened eleven years ago after all so there was no point in dwelling on it much...

"For a Nazi she wasn't bad... she was great parent to have in this strange life."

"We learned about Hitler in school today... It wasn't the same one though was it?"

"No. From what I know of the version she served in her first life, he was a monster. A genuine monster of war during World War 2, don't know if he came here, but she died in one his interment camps that had a Wonder Weapon called the Time Bell. Damn thing could literally break time a little to reverse death of the soldiers in its vicinity. As far she knew though it got shattered due to concentrated artillery so when she got locked in a gas chamber, she wasn't reviving."

"What... What about you dad?"

"Died in World War Three, I was worse than my versions of genocidal killers. I had destroyed seven major cities with populations boarding the millions, with all of my smaller scale mass murders and cube death. It is why I have a Jenosido, I'm a monster of monsters among the Juki's. I was just lucky to have died on Earth..."

She just hummed at that, before I saw her looking up at me.

"I don't think I'll ever like war if it makes you so tired and broken... like you dad... But I'm happy to have you as my dad. Even if everyone else may not like your past... without it I wouldn't have a dad that cares so much about my life..."

"Your the only kid to think that... the others know as well and they all are terrified of me secretly."

With those words a series of beeps started going off so I started having everyone wrap up the fun and head home. Yoruichi riding on one of my shoulders as we head home, the kids being noisy behind us. I wasn't paying their chatter much mind, same couldn't be said for Yoruichi though.

"She's a good kid. I just hope it works out..."

Once we were home I was right to helping out my wives make dinner while Yoruichi watched all of the kids including my half sisters. That when it was time for our mass family dinner Alopeke and Xane were herding the kids to the table. However, they all looked apprehensive and ashamed for some reason while Karu looked pleased with a smile on her face.

""""Dad we're sorry for being scared of you even though you do so much for us...""""

"We know mom and mamma are killers like you, but them being terrified because of the difference was stupid... so I had a talk with them for you dad. Because... it was unfair for them to fear you alone when they're fine with mom and mamma having kill counts...."

I just chuckled along with Pschent and Suì-Fēng, that was never a concern for us or even just me. Though it was heart warming to see that one of my brats liked their dad enough to make the others feel guilty for reasonable thoughts.
