"Looking at you."

Kunou frowned.

"Haha-Ue sent you here?"

Gilgamesh shook his head.

"No, she didn't. In fact, she told me to spend some time with you. And don't worry, I've already sent a Fuyoi back to the Imperial Palace to inform everyone of your whereabouts." Gilgamesh explained as Kunou's expression went to sadness.

"So, I have to go back?" The girl said on the verge of tears, which made Gilgamesh go crazy.

"NO! No, no, no, no, no, no! Please don't cry, I said I was going to spend time with you. You don't have to leave now." Gilgamesh said trying his best to keep Kunou from crying. That was the last thing he needed for Yasaka to find out that he made his daughter cry.

"Really?"

"Yes" Gilgamesh said with an extravagant smile. Although what Kunou did next shocked the young blond man. She shot towards Gilgamesh flying into his chest, causing him to take a step backwards.

"Ugh!" Gilgamesh groaned as the girl almost left him breathless.

"I love Onii-sama!" She declared with her face buried in her kimono.

Gilgamesh couldn't help but smile.

"Is this what it's like to have a little sister?" Gilgamesh thought as he smiled.

"I love you too Kunou" Gilgamesh said before messing up Kunou's hair.

"Mah, stop doing that Onii-sama!" Kunou snorted at Gilgamesh, who couldn't help but laugh in amusement.

"Sorry, but I can't." Gilgamesh said with a mischievous smile causing Kunou to tilt his head in confusion.

"What... why not?" She asked with a cute expression on her face, Kunou was really too cute for his own good. Gilgamesh had to resist the urge to hug her.

"Because it is my job as your older brother"

From afar Yasaka watched Gilgamesh and Kunou's interactions with a smile on her face. Originally, she thought that she had trusted Gilgamesh too much. But after witnessing this, any lingering fears seemed to disappear. She really missed her bonding time with her daughter Kunou, but she had some free time on her hands now.

Without even looking in her direction, Gilgamesh realized that Yasaka was watching him.

"Hey, Yasaka, I know you are there, come." Gilgamesh's small announcement made Kunou freeze as he saw his mother coming across the clearing. Not even a second later, Kunou shot toward Yasaka before jumping into his mother's arms.

"Haha-Ue you're here!" Kunou shouted with joy upon seeing his mother.

In return, Yasaka gave her daughter a warm smile.

"I'm sorry, Kunou. I've been so busy lately that I couldn't take you to this park that you like so much." Yasaka said gently as she rubbed her daughters back. Gilgamesh smiled at the scene before him.

"Yasaka-sama!"

A voice shouted behind the blond trinity, almost instantly Yasaka sighed as he fought the urge to pinch the tip of his nose. Several Youkai guards approached their esteemed leader.

"What is this?" Yasaka asked in a half irritated tone.

"The council has called an emergency meeting and requires your presence Yasaka-sama." The first guard said nervously as he noticed the angry look he was receiving from his leader.

"Do you know why they called this meeting?" Yasaka asked with a raised eyebrow. Both guards shook their heads.

"Unfortunately, no ... They simply told us to meet you."

Sighing in defeat, Yasaka looked at his daughter and Gilgamesh.

"I'll be right back. I hope this isn't one of those long meetings." Yasaka groaned, showing his dislike for the majority of the council.

Kunou's eyes widened as she saw her mother begin to walk away with the two Youkai guards. Gilgamesh gently placed his hand on her shoulder.

"She'll be back, I promise. In the meantime, shall we play a game or something?" Gilgamesh said trying to keep the young girl happy.

"Haha-Ue..." Kunou thought as she watched her mother's form drift away.

"Ok Onii-sama ... Do you know how long Haha-Ue will be?"

Gilgamesh shook his head. "I honestly don't know, but don't worry, she'll be back soon, I promise you." Gilgamesh said with a smile.

...

...

Yasaka returned to the throne room as he realized that the entire room was full. Inukimi and Kurokaze were also present as they both looked annoyed.

"Now that Yasaka-sama is here, can we start this meeting since I have many things I have to do today?" A young man with gray hair and yellow eyes asked.

"Patients, Jin." The elderly man said possessing bright pink skin and red eyes.

"Be quiet, you senile old fool. I don't care if you're an Oni!" Jin replied.

"You are just like your father, arrogant and proud Raijin." The Oni sneered.

"Fine with that!" Kurokaze stated, "Yasaka-hime is here now, so let's finish this meeting. As I'm sure we all have things we have to do today."

Oni nodded before clearing his throat.

"Yasaka-sama, the reason I called this meeting was because I noticed that blond boy you were around. We want to know what your intentions are for the boy?" While most of the council looked at each other in confusion, they had nothing against the boy he hadn't done anything to them.

Yasaka looked at the old man in front of her, she actually never liked the senile old fool either.

"Well, Baldo-san, my intentions are none of your business. All you need to know is that Gilgamesh is an emissary of the Bible Faction alliance" Yasaka said while Kurokaze had already taken a liking to Gilgamesh.

Inukimi interrupted.

"So you feel nothing romantic about this boy Yasaka-san?"

Yasaka was taken back by Inugami's frankness, perhaps she was still upset that Yasaka refused to marry her son. Did she really like Gilgamesh that way? No, she had only known him for a little over a week, there would be no way she would harbor such feelings for Gilgamesh, at least not yet.

"No. I don't feel any romantic feelings for Gilgamesh, since I've only known him for a little over a week. I consider him a friend." Yasaka replied with an emotionless expression.

"Well, you heard her Baldo-san, she considers the boy a friend now, can we leave?" Jin announced.

"Be quiet, this meeting is far from over." Baldo growled at the young Raijin.

"Oh, for the love of Amaterasu." Yasaka spread her face, the last thing she wanted to happen was for those two to start fighting again, "You're going to continue with the damn meeting!" Yasaka declared unleashing a great deal of murderous intent silencing the Oni and Raijin.

Baldo pulled himself together.

"I must say I do not share your opinion or your affection for this boy. He may be a spy, a threat to our own faction, so I have already decided to take care of him myself." Baldo stated that many of the other council members just stared at him with looks of disbelief.

However, as soon as those words left Old Oni's lips, an incredible amount of spiritual power and murderous intent descended upon him.

"Who gave you the right to go behind my back and do something like that!" Yasaka growled as he rose from his throne, while a thick golden aura surrounded his body.

"I think that's a bit unnecessary, don't you Baldo." Inukimi said as he stared at the older councilman. Kurokaze agreed with his head.
