"I guess it's time to tell you more a little about her. You see...my sister was never this cold or harsh. She is actually sweet and pretty shy and a little timid..." Harumin said
"Eh? Sweet? Shy?" Matsuri asked
Mitsuko may be sweet but I don't think she is ever shy or timid. She doesn't look like the type of person to be scared or shy
"Yes I know what you're thinking but my sister was actually a shy type..." Harumin said and giggled softly
"What? Really?" Matsuri asked
"Hehe yes. She was really shy. She would usually hide behind our mother whenever someone came to visit" Harumin said. Matsuri couldn't help but let out a giggle imagining a shy Mitsuko
She'd look pretty cute and adorable...I wish I was there to see it
"We were quite happy with our family but...one day our mother got terribly sick. We saw her...one last time...before she passed away" Harumin said and looked down as she teared up
"Sh-she died?" Matsuri asked
"Yes...she told us that she would be okay and that we would be able to see her the other day...but...we never saw her again" Harumin said as tears rolled down her cheeks. Matsuri stood up from the couch and sat down next to Harumin hugging her
"There there" Matsuri whispered
"S-sorry" Harumin said as she wiped her tears
"No it's okay" Matsuri said as she rubbed her back softly
"...Mitsuko was the one who was extremely upset and broken once she heard our mother passed away. My sister loved my mother so much and always admired her. She loved how strong and brave she was but soon...our lives turned into hell...but I suppose her life...not mine" Harumin said
"Wh-what happened next?" Matsuri asked
"We got separated..." Harumin said
"What? S-separated?" Matsuri asked
"My father was the one who split us up...I never understood why so I stayed with my grandmother. I never saw my sister again...until my grandmother passed away when I was 14 she passed away. That's where I met her again...and she...looked different and acted different. She wasn't the sister I knew...she changed...and looked broken and upset" Harumin said and looked down as she trembled
"And what happened after that?" Matsuri asked
"My father had no other choice but to take me back in and pretty much that's how it all went except that I never knew what my father did to her. I can tell she must've been abused since I saw a scar on her back..." Harumin said
"Oh..." Matsuri said and looked down
It must've been rough...especially since she was all alone and had no one. Just like Mei...
"And she tried to kill herself once...that's what I heard from her..." Harumin said
"She wh-what?" Matsuri asked
"Mitsuko had nightmares that felt realistic and would always wake up scared...that's sorta the reason she cut her hair" Harumin said
"She cut her hair short because of that?" Matsuri asked
"I never really knew why...she only told me about her nightmares. Seeing our mother in her dreams and blaming herself for being weak and unable to be like her..." Harumin said
"I see....well...what about the fight with her cousin? Did she get hurt really badly?" Matsuri asked
"Not really...a few bruises and a cut on her left eye..." Harumin said
Flashback
Mitsuko stood in front of Estella and trembled a little
"Let's just get this over with already. I don't want to waste my time with a pathetic bitch like you" Estella said as she stretched her arms out then looked at Mitsuko. Mitsuko only glared at her as she positioned herself ready to fight
'I won't let you talk like that about her...Matsuri is strong and caring. I won't let them talk to you like that...'
"I'm going to win!" Mitsuko shouted as she ran up to her. Estella smirked and ran up to her
"Go ahead Mitsuko! Show me how much you've improved! Come on!" Estella said as she threw the first punch. Mitsuko ducked down and Estella lifted her leg to hit her face but Mitsuko blocked it
'I have to look out...she is pretty fast'
Mitsuko backed up as Estella threw another punch at her
"Are you just going to fucking dodge or fight!? You know I hate it when you run away! Just fucking fight!" Estella exclaimed and ran up to her. Mitsuko's eyes widen as Estella appeared in front of her
'Shit! Do something!'
"You can do it sis!" Harumin shouted
"Your little sis can't do nothing at all you little bitch..." Estella said. Mitsuko raised her fist as she tried punching her but then Estella grabbed her arm twisting it then lifted her body up then threw her to the ground. Mitsuko groaned and immediately got back to her feet then stepped back dodging a kick from Estella
"Come on Mitsuko! Don't run!" Estella shouted and ran up to her. Mitsuko immediately lifted her leg quickly then kicked Estella across her face
"That's it! Fight back!" Estella said and raised her fist but Mitsuko blocked it with one arm then used her free arm punching her nose hard making it bleed. Estella chuckled softly and touched her nose
"Hahaha...you've improved" Estella said and gasped as Mitsuko ran up to her punching her stomach hard. Estella felt her whole body weaken at that punch and stepped back wobbling a bit
'Hahaha...Mitsuko...you really have improved. You were a kid...then a teen...and now...a full grown adult. What a great Alpha...'
"Sadly you won't be able to be top! Because you will never surpass me! Even if you are a full grown adult! That won't help you win!" Estella said and ran up to her
"I don't want to win or prove anything! You can't just talk about her like that! Matsuri is an amazing person! She is strong! Brave! She is even stronger than you!" Mitsuko shouted and tried punching Estella but she grabbed her fist
"Still weak as-" Mitsuko jumped kicking her across the face hard
"And I want to be like her!" Mitsuko shouted as Estella fell to the ground
"Haaah...you really are something Mitsuko" Estella said as she got back up then ran up to Mitsuko throwing her punches. Mitsuko did her best dodging all her punches. Estella gritted her teeth and lifted her leg kicking her side hard
"You seriously piss me off more than anything in this world Mitsuko" Estella said and grabbed Mitsuko's face then lifted her knee to hit her face but Mitsuko blocked it
'So close!'
"I thought you were just going to be a little crybaby bitch..." Estella said and punched her hard
"Get up Mitsuko! I know you can do it! You are strong!" Harumin shouted
"Shut up! The two of you piss me off! Caring for others when you're suppose to care about yourself! No one is going to fucking help you in a fight! You fight alone!" Estella shouted and kicked Mitsuko across her face. Mitsuko grabbed her leg then twisted it. She stood up pushing Estella back
"I don't get what's your problem...is it because of Henrik and your parents never paying attention to you?" Mitsuko asked as she looked at her with a soft expression. Estella's eyes widen and clenched her fists tightly as she stood up
"Don't you dare look at me like that! We may be related but I never cared for you one bit!" Estella shouted as she punched her hard
"That's what I hate about you! You dare look at me like that! Well guess what Mitsuko? You're pathetic!" Estella shouted and ended up punched Mitsuko hard. Mitsuko fell back and trembled. She coughed a little and felt Estella grab her by the hair
"You will always be the same Mitsuko...so just accept defeat...you weak-" Estella's eyes widen as Mitsuko grabbed her then pulled her close and ended up breaking her nose as she hit her forehand against her nose
"I'll kill you!" Mitsuko shouted
"Agh!" Estella exclaimed and growled furiously
"You asked for it!" Estella shouted
End Of Flashback
"My sister ended up losing..." Harumin said
"Wow...so...is your cousin always mean? Does she really no care about you two?" Matsuri asked
"I guess so...Henrik was the only one who sorta took care of us. I met my cousins too and they seemed nice...but Estella...was quite different from her brother. I guess she only cared about winning and being able to defeat her opponents...but I still don't get what's her problem" Harumin said
"Heh...they must be the worse cousins" Matsuri said
"Yes...they are. You know I always thought your cousins were shit but knowing them...hehe they really have a caring side for you and others" Harumin said
"Yes...even though they look like they're nuts and crazy" Matsuri said
I want to see Mitsuko so bad...I need to see if she's okay...
"Hey Harumin...can I see her?" Matsuri asked. Harumin looked at her and smiled softly
"Sure..." Harumin said as she stood up from the couch. Matsuri followed Harumin heading to the room
"Hey Matsuri...please forgive me for everything in the past" Harumin said
"Don't worry Harumin. It's okay besides you and Yuzu-chan are happy and that's all that matters. I'm happy for you both" Matsuri said as she smiled brightly. Harumin smiled back at her and nodded
Matsuri...you are a very lucky person to be with my sister
Harumin opened the door slowly and quietly
"She's in bed. You can sit next to her" Harumin said
"Hm? What are those bottles doing in there?" Matsuri asked
"Heh...my sister drinks to forget stuff but don't worry she isn't addicted to drugs or drinking like that everyday. She is just having a bad day...that's all" Harumin said
"Okay. Thanks" Matsuri said and stepped inside
"Hehe you're welcome" Harumin said and closed the door. Matsuri looked at Mitsuko who was peacefully asleep. She walked up to her and stroked her hair softly the saw the bandage on her eye
Mitsuko...

"Jeez...I never thought he was like that" Yuzu said as she looked down
"Yes...my father became a complete asshole when he divorced our mother..." Mei said
"I'm sorry you had to go through that Mei..." Yuzu said as she held her hand
"Y-yeah..." Mei said then smiled at Yuzu. Yuzu looked at Mei and blushed deeply
D-damnit...my heart is beating so hard and fast...
"Where's Harumi?" Mei asked
"Sh-she went to see her sister" Yuzu said as she looked away
Fuck...I'm blushing
"I'm very happy that you found your true love" Mei said as she kept smiling
"And I'm happy for you and M-matsuri..." Yuzu said
"We aren't official yet...but we will soon. I hope..." Mei said. Yuzu looked at Mei and trembled a little as she leaned in. Mei's eyes widen and blushed a little
"Y-yuzu wait..." Mei said as she pulled away a bit. Yuzu blushed and leaned in closer and closer until their lips were connected. Mei blushed deeply and kissed her back. Yuzu wrapped her arms around her neck pulling her closer. Mei blushed deeply and felt her entire body weaken. Suddenly the door opened and they both pulled away trembling in fear
"Y-yuzu...why?" The brunette asked as she trembled with tears in her eyes
"H-harumin! I can expla-"
SLAP!
"Don't you dare fucking touch me! And you...I hope Matsuri stays with Mitsuko because she would never hurt her like this. Not in a million years..." Harumin said and walked away
"N-no! Wait Harumin!" Yuzu said as she ran after her but Harumin left immediately. Yuzu only stood there with tears rolling down her cheeks
"D-damnit..." Yuzu mumbled
