5- Conversations And Embarrassment

You bit your lip as you followed the taller man. Something pulling at your heart, like a thread wrapped around it and tugging hard. It felt like Amaterasu was having a hay day with your emotions. He opened the front doors for you and had the maids walk you to your temporary room.

"thank you..."

"Be down in an hour. Mama would like to talk to you as soon as possible but wants you to be comfortable." He mumbled and walked off in another direction.

Your cheeks were slightly pink and walked off with the maid. Ignoring the flush in your cheeks and the jealousy radiating off the maid showing you to your room.

"your new outfit will be laid out on your bed miss. please relax and enjoy it here in the chaeto." She smiled and opened the elevator for you.

You stepping in with her and stood silently. Discomfort settling deep in the pit of your stomach. What was going on? was it because they saw the marks you left on Cracker a few days prior? This wasn't the first Cracker had snuck off to your house a month after you had gotten comfortable. But nothing had ever happened before. It took a while until you reached the floor your room was on. She led you to the large room and started to dig through the dresses they had in the rooms.

"I had some other maids get a bath ready for you miss. please clean yourself up. Big Mom-sama would not be happy if you showed up filthy." She said and pulled out a green sleeveless and strapless dress.

You nodded and walked into the bathroom, only to see a large roman style bath tube, that was probably a normal size for Linlin but pool like for you. You stripped yourself from the large frilly dress you had, enjoying the fact that you were for once not wearing something frilly or pink. You jumped into the hot water and enjoyed the tingling feeling flowing through your body. You soon pulled your hair out of the bun and sunk into the water for a moment.

Linlin happily stuffed her face with the brownies, waiting for you to make your way down to the throne room. No one other then she was in the room, seeing as she wanted a private talk with you, which worried her children.

You brushed your damp hair back and stepped into the room, Oven and his sisters watched from afar as you walked into the room alone.

~~~~

Linlin froze once she saw you walk in and set down the brownie. Her eyebrows knitted together and a frown made it to her face. She grabbed her glass of wine and snapped his fingers. Sending all the maids and butlers exited the room, leaving the two of you alone. It took a while before she spoke up, your head hung low in fear and slight shame.

"so... you have been messing around with my son Cracker?" She asked, grabbing a staff and tapping your chin up so you could look her in the eyes.

Sweat collected on your forehead, your skin paled severely. You didn't know how to respond. Yes, you screwed around with him but you weren't the one who started it.

"y-y-yes ma'am..." You swallowed the lump in your throat and she nodded.

She let out a sigh and set the staff down, the silence coming back tenfold. Chills went down your spine as it felt the air grow colder. Her eyes scanning over every inch of your body, soon jumping back to your horns.

"Cracker had told me you were part mink but I don't believe it" She said.

You gulped, the images of the vision earlier popped back into your mind. How could you tell her you were the daughter of Izanami and you were born from a Venus Flytrap. That was even more unbelievable than people from above the clouds or even the concept of gods.

"i-i-i-"

"SPEAK UP!"

"I-i'm a demi-god ma'am..." You yelled, your face pure white and red.

She froze for a moment then smiled wickedly, her jeweled fingers drumming against the armrests.

"So... what can you do?" She asked.

"i-i-i can see the past and future... but that is rarely... and... i... well... it's like I ate every elemental devil fruit."

She smiled widened.

"well. to prove it. tell me about my past~" She purred, really trying to test if you were actually telling the truth.

You swallowed the lump in your throat and began. 

"You were left on an Island. and if I am correct, Elbath..." Her eyes widened as you had gotten that correct, waving her hand for you to go on.

"and... you were raised in an orphanage... the... The sheep's house. Under the care of Mother Caramel. You had lived happily, enjoying the time you had with people your own size. But... things turned dark once you tried the semla. You had to fast for roughly 14 days but after a few days... your disease had set in.... sadly you had destroyed most of the village and killed one of the leaders" Linlin tried to voice what actually happened, but your eyes changed into pure white and marks decorated your skin, she shut up and let her continue, something telling her that what she was saying wasn't a lie.

"You and everyone who lived in the Sheep's house moved to a small island and lived happily for a few more years. Mother Caramel had told you that she was going to go get food but walked aboard a marine ship. she planned to sell you to the marines. She agreed to hand you and your friends over by the time the sun rose the next morning." Linlin's hands clasped over her mouth, tears filling her eyes. Trying to not believe your words but the fact that you had physical traits currently showing her that she couldn't fight it. And since she had everything else correct there was no saying that wasn't true.

"They had made semla but put together as a croquembouche. But..." You gulped and shuddered.

"they had disappeared. You had gotten so absorbed into your enjoyment. you didn't realize you had... eaten... all of them. gaining your devil fruit and leaving you all alone by accident" You said, your voice growing small at the end.

She was froze. Hazy memories popping up slowly. Tears starting to pour down her cheeks. Linlin didn't know what to say or do. So instead, she threw the brownies at you, the marks reseeding and your eyes going back to normal. Fear coursed through your veins as dishes, food, silver wear, and furniture was thrown at you. You shut your eyes and held your arms up. Expecting an impact but non came. When you opened your eyes you were greeted with the tall man who took you here, holding his fiance up, dead. He took the brunt of the impact but used the small and frail woman as his own shield. You began to shake in fear, breath growing short. Your mind was putty at this point. Unknowingly you let his name escape your lips.

"Katakuri..." And with that, you passed out cold on the chair.

Katakuri dropped Rosa's dead body.

"Finally that pathetic woman was useful. now, mother. please calm down. Shall I get Zeus and Prometheus? or Strassen? Mother... just please calm down-"

"Katakuri! wahhahah! come here my baby!" She sobbed and hugged him tightly, his leather vest growling tight as his body grew wet along with the leather.

His eyes grew wide, not knowing what to do in this sort of situation, so instead of pushing himself away his tried to hug back and rubbed her shoulder. He looked over then found you passed out, his mantra kicking in.

"Mother. (y/n) will be of great use to us. and since Rosa had "jumped in front of me to save me" please let her be my bride so we can keep her... Since I am old enough to marry her. And Cracker is too immature to get married and raise a child. Seeing as he was stupid enough to have sex with a woman for a month without telling us. and behind everyone in Totto Land's back" He explained, his heart soon racing in an odd way.

Linlin set him down and whipped her eyes. Sniffing slightly she nodded.

"Fine. I trust you Katakuri... but I would like to have a meeting with everyone... Take her to the infirmary and make sure she is okay. And if it comes out she is pregnant. Make sure she is safe and well taken care of." Linlin sniffed and blew her nose with her handkerchief.

He nodded and picked you up, carrying you to the infirmary a few floors above them. Oddly happy that he got Linlin to agree to his offer.

Amaterasu laughed and smiled down at the scene that just played out.

"HAHAHA! IM SO GLAD THAT I TIED THEIR FATE STRINGS TOGETHER HAHAHAH~! heh~ but Daddy Cracker may get in the way" She smirked and elbowed Izanami.

"Happy that your gonna be a grandma Izana?" Amaterasu teased as Izanami rolled her eyes.

"I have faith in my daughter for making the right move but she could have been smarter... and using her powers carelessly like that was ridiculous." the goddess sighed and reclined in her seat.

"yeah yeah~ but it's time to throw a baby shower now isn't it?" Amaterasu smiled and had Susanoo create rain all over the Totto Land Archipelago.
