Yokai Mother
Gyuki : that means... She did come back....
Umewakamaru looked at me after listening to everything.. His eyes became sad... Gozumaru and Mezumaru entered closely followed by sensei and Kiyoko... Their faces were tired... And blood stained. Clothes were torn.
Both : Master! Are you ok!?
Gyuki : hmm..
Kumiko : How about you. Akari?
Me : am fine.
Gozumaru : You!
He draws his sword and charges towards my direction when Umewakamaru blocks his way.
Gozumaru : Why?
Gyuki : She is my granddaughter.
Kumiko : What is he talking about?
Me : It's true.
Gyuki : (looking at me) Am a culprit to your family... And will accept any punishment.
Gozumaru : But...
Gyuki : Before that... Please let me meet Haruka and my daughter for ones..
Me : Fine.
At the family house...
We found a crowd gathered around our courtyard... Confused I walked towards my mother and tapped her on her shoulder. Surprised she turned around looking at me her eyes were red as if she has been crying hard.
Me : Mom?... What happened?
Aki : You tell me. What are you doing here?...
Me : Grandpa wants to meet grandma and you.
Aki : Who?
Umewakamaru stepped in front of her. His face was filled with guilt...
Gyuki : Daughter... I....
Aki : Your late... Too late....
She moved away leaving some space as I looked horrified... Grandma's slaughtered body lay on the ground as all the Yokais mourned softly... Tears sparkled in my eyes... Before dropping down...
Me : Who... Did... This?
Aki : We are still investigating...
Me : I will... Kill... That person... (Eyes turning red)
Umewakamaru motions towards grandma picking her body in his arms hugging her...
Gyuki : Am sorry... My stupidity made me lose another woman from my life after my mom...
Two days later...
It was raining heavily as I climbed up the steps to Nejireme along with Chiharu. I hold a box of bento specially made by me for grandpa. Today is grandma's funeral... But I was too upset to visit it.... As I reached there I found Mezumaru enjoying the rain he came towards me noticing my presence.
Me : Where is grandpa?
Mezumaru : He went to the funeral.
Me : (giving him the lunch box) Give it to him. Bye.
At the Yokai mountain...
After my grandma passed away everyone started forcing me to take her place. But I kindly refused it. I feel that until I punish those who murdered her. Am not worthy for the title. As Ayumi sis can't be Yokai Mother... Everyone decided that Hiroshi should take over for the time being.
Me : Sensei. Am here! Wait... What is he doing here?
I glared at Rikuo... Who smirked to my great annoyance.
Kumiko : I thought you went to your grandma's funeral so I called him. After all am going to train him along with you.
Me : You what?!
Rikuo : As you heard her.
Me : Fuck you Nura.
Kumiko : Don't curse him Akari. Am coming back in few minutes be good kids till then.
But as soon as she leaves us tension starts rising...
Rikuo : How does it feel to be training with me?
Me : I am only tolerating you cause I want to control my other self. Or else I would have killed you by now.
Rikuo : Try me then. 😏
When verbal fight turned real we didn't realize... Soon our swords were striking against each other.. I kicked him hard making him fall and sat on top of him pointing my sword on his chest when I felt a cold breeze on my back and before I could realize both of us got frozen...
Tsurara : Am sorry Master Rikuo.... But your sensei asked me to do this...
Sensei cuts the ice making me fall on top of Rikuo as both of us blushed out of embarrassment we sat down in a hurry as I found Tsurara glaring at me due to jealousy...
Kumiko : You two can't stay together can you?!
Me : I don't like him...
Kumiko : Shut up!
Me : 🙊 sorry....
Kumiko : Your punishment is... You will have to stay together from now on. To the place of my choice. Where you will learn team work first. And be careful... If you fail to do this.... It would be really bad for both of you.
Me : Together with him?! Impossible!
Rikuo : Together with her?! Impossible!
To be continued...
