Chapter 5: Reunion

No one's POV

"Y-y/n...?" The woman mutters.

"Yasaka?" Y/n whisper, too shocked to speak up.

The two of them stare at each other for a long moment, both too shock to say anything to the other. It was like staring at god.

'I-it can't be...' They both thought.

"Mother?" Kunou says, trying to gain her mother's attention.

Y/n and Yasaka broke out of their trance. Yasaka turns her head to her daughter as y/n shook his head, trying to snap out of his thoughts. He rubs his face with his hand as he tries to piece everything together.

"Yes, Kunou?" Yasaka asks.

"You know y/n?" Kunou points to him.

Yasaka turns her head to y/n, who looks away from the two with a blush on his face. A small innocent smile unknowingly grew on Yasaka's face seeing the man acting shy.

"Yes, dear. He was my-."

"Friend." Y/n says, still averting his gaze with a stern tone. "Just a friend....who hasn't spoken to your mother in...a very long time..."

Kunou stares at him with a confused look on her face. Yasaka's smile drops with a broken frown. "....Yes, of course." Yasaka says lowly, forcing her words out. "Just a friend..."

Silence filled the air. A very long and awkward moment passes before someone finally spoke.

"Let's go inside." Yasaka turns to Kunou and gently nudges her shoulder to head inside. "Dinner is almost ready."

"..." Kunou took a moment to stare at y/n. She watches him with curiosity as he was staring at the sun setting. "...Okay." She says looking up to her mother with a nod, somewhat understanding the situation.

Kunou heads inside as Yasaka stayed by the door, watching her daughter go inside. When she saw Kunou turn a corner, she lets out a sadden sigh. She turns her head to y/n as he was now staring at her with his hands shoved in his pockets.

"Y/n-."

"Why didn't you tell me?" Y/n asks with a hint of venom in his voice, yet he tried to sound relaxed.

"I'm sorry. What-?"

"Why didn't you tell me you had a kid?" Y/n took a step forward. "And did you seriously have to name her my idea?" Y/n's voice began to break.

Yasaka was about to say something, but she saw tears form around y/n's eyes. "..."

"I thought you said you wouldn't-."

"You said you were fine with it, y/n." Yasaka says as she steps out of her home. She took a step forward to y/n, but the latter took a step back. "Don't you remember? 'I don't care if you two get married, just be sure to stay out of trouble.' You said that on the last day we saw each other."

"...." Y/n sniffs as he wipes the tears away with his sleeve. "I guess I forgot. S-sorry."

"It's fine. I'm just happy to know your still alive after all these years."

"...."

"What happened to you, y/n?" Yasaka asks softly, referring to both his clothes and attitude. "You used to be so kind and sweat. You were always so positive. But now-."

"Stuff happens." Y/n says as he turns his head to the sun yet again. "I just...had to grow up. I've lost something dear to me and I'm still not over it."

"Your sister-?"

"Don't..." Y/n's voice changed as he whips his head to glare at her. He breathes heavy as his body suddenly became coated in electricity and his hair spikes up. "Say her name."

Yasaka doesn't flinch. She simply stares at y/n with a sympathetic look. "I'm sorry. I really am."

Y/n stares into Yasaka's eyes. Something about them made him relax a little. "So am I..." Y/n mutters dryly as the electricity dies down and his hair returns to normal.

Wind blows between the two as they stayed silent for a bit. Eventually though y/n lets out a deep breath as he slowly turns around. "I got to go-."

"Please stay." Yasaka begs, making y/n freeze. "We haven't seen each other in forever."

"I can't." Y/n says. He continues to speak as he had his back to her. "I have a meeting I have to get to. It's about my tribe and stopping another potential war from breaking out. I-."

"How about after? You can spend the night and-."

"I don't plan on staying long. I need to get back-."

"Then stay for a few minutes. I promise to only take a few moments of your time. I just...." Yasaka trails off, not wanting to finish her sentence.

Y/n heard footsteps coming closer to him from behind. '???' He was about to turn around until he felt two giant mounds on his back and a pair of arms wrapping around his waist, surprising him as his face turns pink. '?!'

"I miss you, y/n." Yasaka says as her voice cracks. "You have no idea how long I've been wanting to speak to you again."

"...." Y/n's hair blocks his eyes as he stays silent.

Another gust of wind blows pass them. The end of the two clothes and their hair blows along with it as they stayed in their positions, trying to enjoy the moment while they can.

To be continued...
