Btw short chapter bc I want to leave yall on a cliffhanger

Gen pov

Mui better not fucking come out.

If my father's gonna cut his hair he's a monster. Not like he isn't one but cutting a boys long hair.. isn't okay, and if he's keeping it as a symbol of someone he lost.. it's even worse..

I am not letting that happen. Not ever, and I'm not letting mui cut his hair by pressure. It's precious to him and really long. I swear if anyone like gyokko cuts it.. I'm going to kill them..

Father was waiting for me at the end of the staircase. "Where is he?" He asked in a sturn voice. "He's gone home." I lie. "Why?!" He starts getting more aggressive. "Cus I don't want you to hurt him!" I yell back. "I'm not going to hurt him!" He screams. "Yeah- well cutting his hair technicly counts!"

"He's upstairs isn't he..?" Dad quietens. "Hes gone home." I reply. "He's in your closet I damn well bloody know it genya!" He says racing up the stairs. He had a pocket knife in his hand. A tried running after him to stop him but he pushed me down the stairs.

I then heard him.. he had found mui..

"Muichiro, don't be scared-" he says in an unstable voice. "Go away.." muichiro muffled. I tried to get back upstairs but heard muichiro scream..
