Chapter 6:The Invitation
Last time Emiko found out the truth about her sister and Yori's love life! Now with things settling down for both families in Blairwood. Although will something come along and disrupt that peace?
Xander didn't want to jinx it, but things finally seemed to be settling down in Blairwood for the most part. Yori has adapted to living in Blairwood quite well and Mitsu and Momo, well they were still a work in progress. Xander once again entered his house after a long day at work. "Babe I'm home!" Xander called out as he placed his bag on the floor before looking around for his girlfriend. Yori entered the room with a panicked air about her as her eyes darted around in worry. "Whoa Yori! Where's the fire?" Xander asked as he placed his hands on her shoulders in hopes of calming her down.
"O-Oh, Xander it's time! Emiko got the invitation for the parade! I got one to, so I guess this is" Yori was cut off by Xander planting a kiss on her lips. "Now you listen here Yori, I've lost you once, I'm not losing you again!" Xander said with a bite in his tone as he pulled Yori into a hug. Yori opened her mouth to respond, but quickly shut it before returning Xander's hug. "Thank you Xander, I can't tell you how much that means to me!" Yori chokes out as tears began to run from her eyes. "Great so this failure is going with us to the reunion?!" Mitsu said angrily as she watched her parents hug.
Yori shot a glare at Mitsu before marching up to her bratty daughter in anger. "Now you listen here Mitsu, you will show your father respect! Do I make myself clear?!" Yori shouted at Mitsu, who glared right back at her. "Oh yeah? I don't have any respect for this pathetic deadbeat failure that abandoned us!" Mitsu shouted over her shoulder as she stormed off to her room in anger. Yori let out a sigh of frustration as she turned towards Momo. "That goes for you as well Momo." Yori says in a calmer voice as she waited for her other daughter to respond. "Okay mom." Momo says calmly as she also heads back to her room.
After about an hour of packing, Xander, Yori, and the Twins met up with Emiko and her family. With that out of the way the group made their way to the airport so they could get to Japan. After a lengthy plane ride the group finally made it to Japan safely, except for when Emiko had a minor freakout on they're flight. "Well that flight was definitely interesting." Xander mumbled as Yori let out a small chuckle. "Emiko is pretty stressed by this whole ordeal. Guess coming to visit didn't help so much." Yori said with a sigh of annoyance as she readjusted her bag on her shoulder.
"Oh come on babe, it wasn't all bad was it?" Xander said as he wrapped his arm around her shoulders. Mitsu comically gagged at what her parents were doing, which caused Momo to laugh. "Aw are we embarrassing you Mitsu?" Xander said in a teasing voice as Mitsu blushed in embarrassment and anger. "S-Shut u-up you failure! Your very existence is and embarrassment to me!" Mitsu shouted as the group made their way out to the the van they rented. Xander got into the driver seat and Yori rode shotgun, while the Williams and the Twins piled into the back.
Xander drove through Japan until they made it out of the city and into the countryside. Eventually they found a brick tunnel in the middle of the forest that they entered. Once they made it to the other side of the tunnel and found themselves in another beautiful forest. Xander noticed that Mitsu and Momo had these evil grins on their faces as they pointed and looked at Erma. Xander walked up behind his daughters and hugged them from behind. "I love you girls, you know that?" Xander said as he continued to hug them.
"G-Get o-off of us you failure!" Mitsu shouted as she broke free from his grip, but Momo didn't for some reason. "Y-Yeah l-let go!" Momo stuttered out as she hesitantly broke away from her father's arms. "Hey cus, catch us if you can!" Mitsu taunted as she and Momo flew off into the forest. Erma chases after them, much to Emiko's panic as Sam and Yori tried to calm her down. After getting her to calm down the adults followed after their kids. "Gotta admit babe that was pretty brave of you to just up and hug the girls like that, you know that they have powers right?" Yori questioned her boyfriend as she gave him a curious glance.
"Well those two troublemakers had these in their hoodie pockets, I think they were planning on using them on Erma." Xander said as he held up a roll of wire and a slingshot with pellets. "Those little brats! They think it's okay to hurt they're cousin?!" Yori growled out as she took the slingshot from Xander as he pocketed the roll of wire. "I suppose we'll have to have a talk with them when we catchup with them." Xander said as he gave Yori a peck on the cheek. "You better believe they're going to get one hell of a talking to!" Yori said with a chuckle as Emiko suddenly opened a portal under their feet.
Mitsu could not believe that her failure of a father swiped her slingshot and pellets! "Hey sis I know your mad and all, but you gotta admit dad was pretty smooth with pulling a fast one on us." Momo said in hopes of getting her sister to have a change of heart. "Why do you standup for that failure? What has he ever done for us?" Mitsu said bitterly as she glared at her sister. Her sister was good at acting, but Momo knew that Mitsu was half forcing those words. "Hey looks like cus is being cornered by our aunts and uncle." Mitsu said as they look down from their hiding place in the ceiling.
Erma was scared of all these strange people surrounding her when all of a sudden she was in her mother's arms. "Oh hey I forgot how big your family is babe." Xander said as he looked over all of Yori and Emiko's siblings.
(An:excluding Yori and the Twins, from top left to bottom right: Fumiko, Ena, Kintaro, Mayumi, and Rin)
"Well, well look who came crawling back." Fumiko said in her normal stern voice, but Xander spotted the faintest of smiles on her face. "Well you know me Fumiko, I've never been very good at staying out of dangerous situations." Xander said with a cheeky grin before a headless body pulled him into a bone crushing hug. "Oh Xander it's so good to see you again!" Ena cheered happily as her head floated around him. "Good to see you as well Ena." Xander said as he patted the girl's back gently in return.
"Good to see ya again Xander! Hey we still need to go out for drinks remember?" Kintaro said with a booming laugh. "Yeah I didn't forget Kintaro, but shouldn't you be focused on someone else?" Xander questioned as he pointed towards Emiko. After that everyone greeted Emiko with varying levels of excitement. "So Mayumi you gonna say hi to your sister?" Xander asked the faceless girl, who as usual didn't have anything to say. "Its bad enough that Yori brought that human filth back with her, but who the hell is this?" Xander turned to see Rin coiled around Sam.
Xander was about to hopefully get Rin off of Sam, but Emiko beat him to the punch with her hair. "Rin would you please let my husband go?" Emiko said in a calm but threatening tone as Rin let go of Sam. "That explains your strange smell half-breed." Rin spat at Erma before slithering our the door of the little house. "Geez I forgot how much of a pit viper she can be!" Xander mumbled as he watched Rin retreat. After introducing Sam to everyone, the group got ready to make their way through the streets of the city. Of course they had some help from the one-eyed servant Kenji and the Kappa Haru.
"Alright is everybody ready?" Fumiko asked as she turned to the group, who all responded with a chorus of yeses. "Lady Fumiko, there's only enough room for three people under this umbrella, what about Xander?" Haru asked with concern in his voice. "I believe you have that cover right Xander?" Fumiko said as Xander threw on a large black cloak and a simple white mask with red markings painted on it. "You act like this isn't the first time I've snuck through the streets of the Yokai world." Xander states casually before they all head outside.
And this chapter is done! Sorry if it seems like a lot of stuff happened kinda quickly, it's just that I didn't think I could split the trip and first meeting into two separate chapters. I hope you guys don't mind to much. Anyway now that the our favorite two strange families are in the Yokai world, how will this go? Also will Mitsu and Momo finally crack and give they're father a chance? Find out in the next chapter of Erma:Family is Forever!
