Original Story Idea

My first Story Idea on here, though it's actually number 18 in my notes. Hope you find this interesting. 

For future reference, these are all gonna be probably a very rambly and full of things that I've gone back and added later on.

These are also super bare bones since I'm trying to get ideas out before I lose them. If people enjoy this, maybe I'll post more. Maybe I'll post more anyway. Idk.

Title?: Mother's Garden

For a webcomic or manga? Setting: Anime-like high school, you know the drill.

Main Character Boy - Juno (Roman goddess of mothers and family. He was Mother's favorite, and she was grooming him to be the next "Mother" before he left. Mother genuinely loves him, and either she gave him this name, or he named himself that, in honor of her)/Something else (a code name/the name he uses for interaction with the outside world) Not sure what his real name is yet.

Main character dude is school pretty boy

General shoujo shenanigans ensue

Girls chase him all over the school and constantly ask him out and generaly treat him like (Komi-san) a god, but he's good natured about it and a good dude all around

A Shoujo Shenanigan - Confession

"You're are a good person Juno." Girl-with-a-crush-on-him #17 says. A bright smile on her face as she confesses.

Juno looks down at her, her short brown pigtails bound with pretty orange ribbons. She's got warm brown eyes, and looks at him as she speaks, which is more than most of the girls he's caught the attention of can claim. All in all, she's cute. He knows that she's smart too, since she's in the same advanced science class with him. (Add more stuff about 17's background that Juno shouldn't realistically know just from being her classmate)

Honestly? It wouldn't be the worst decision to actually go out with her. He knows her quite well after all.

Too bad she doesn't know anything about him.

Juno thinks to himself, a sad and wistful smile on his own face.

'She thinks I'm a good person.'

He shakes his head.

"I'm sorry, but I can't go out with you."

'No. I'm not. Not even a little.'

She really doesn't know him at all.

Other Shojou Shenanigans

The girls constantly try to pull him into shenanigans to get his clothes off, but no one can ever make him take off his shirt.

There's a reason for that.

He's got an extensive tattoo on his back from when he was part of an assassination organization called Mother's Garden.

It took in children and gave them a home and a family. All it asked for in return was undying loyalty

MC boy is probably the only one ever to get out and try to live a normal life.

Eventually though, his past catches up to him. He was their best agent, and had to do an impossible mission to qualify for escaping (they thought he would die, and if he didn't he deserved his freedom [like John Wick])

A Family Visit

Some of his "Brothers and Sisters" come looking for him (though NOT at Mother's behest)

[They all have number names] holds a hand out, an offering of peace, perhaps. Juno is a still as looks at his "Older Brother" from where they sit, across from each other, on the floor.

"Come home little brother." he pleads. "Mother misses you."

"If she wants me back, she can come here herself and get me." Juno remarks calmly.

He's said it once and he'll say it again (although he's starting to get tired of repeating himself).

He's not going back.

A younger girl than him and [Older Brother's number] seethes at his back. She had been grinding her teeth the whole duration of this mission. He could read it in her body that she was new.

"How dare you speak of Mother with such disrespect! I should cut out your tongue!" She nearly screams.

Juno can't escape a slightly amused exhale under his breath. This girl? This child? The very thought is laughable. (He almost wants to see her try, but he'd probably end up being mean to her and cut off an arm or something. The Gardeners would be able to put it back on of course, but they'd probably use it as a lesson in discipline. He'd been lucky enough to only ever have lost a finger, and that one was mostly his fault anyway, and against Mother so...)

As if sensing his mirth at her "threat" the red-haired "Little Sister" growls at him and brandishes a weapon.

This...is taking it too far. They are in his home, his quiet, lovely sanctuary (a garden of his very own), and this one dares raise a blade to him? He wonders for a moment if he should kill her (she may be a Child, but most of them know better than this).

Sensing the coming danger, even if the little one doesn't, someone else takes action.

An older Sister steps close to the Child (and he's decided that she is a Child, to him anyway, regardless of her actual designation) and backhands her across the face. The redheaded child looks up at the other girl with wide eyes, a reaction more of surprise than of pain.

"Mind your tongue, little sister, or it will be you who looses the ability to speak. You know not of who's presence you are in. We are in our Brother's Garden, and you will show the proper respect and reverence to Juno."

Juno senses a shift in the crowd. Ah. So only a few of them actually knew who he was when they came here. Though, glancing around out the corner of his eyes, he can tell that some of them suspected. (Hm. He'd kind of liked the anonymity. Oh well. What's done is done.)

Logistical and World Building Stuff for Understanding

Members of Mother's Garden's names are written as: Big/Little Sister/Brother # in full

Informal is just their number when speaking of them, and as Little or Older Sister/Brother when speaking to them

Those younger and who have not yet completed their training are refered to as 'Child' or 'Children' (for plural)

Calling a 'Sibling' a 'Child' is an insult to their skill

Being a 'Child of X' denotes what you were trained for after the basics in combat. You can also specialize in something

'Children of the Green' become 'Gardeners' (a nickname people have come up with, they tend to the Garden, keep it healthy and strong. I might replace all these with flower names though, and what those flowers can add to a garden) and learn how to use incredibly advanced healing tech that can reattach limbs and add biometrics and really good prosthetics

'Children of the Black' are trained in stealth and become 'Nightshade'

'Children of the Pink' are trained to teach the children non-combat related skills like languages and the kinds of things you learn in school, and maybe dance or extra stuff?

'Children of the Blue' are trained to gather info

There is only one 'Golden Child'. They are chosen to be the next 'Mother' when the time comes that the Mother decides that they are ready, or when he or she dies

There is only one 'Silver Child'. They are next in line to become Mother ONLY if something happens to BOTH the Golden Child and Mother. Once a Golden Child becomes Mother, they can choose a new Golden and Silver child, though it is often that the Silver Child goes on to become the Golden, and someone new is chosen as Silver

(Being the Silver Child to the Golden one sometimes breeds resentment, but all Children must pit the good of the Garden before their own ambition or feelings. Only Bad Children feel resentment after all.)

Bad Children are [REDACTED]

More to be added to the 'Children of the X' section

The 'Eldest' are the ones who teach the younger children how to be 'Children of X'

They would introduce themselves as 'I am Brother/Sister #, Eldest son/daughter of [color]'

Anyway. That’s all I’ve got for this world for now. Later.
