Chapter Seventeen : Closer
(Yuki's pov)
"Hmm..... " I said quietly as I was waking up.
Then I heard something.
Huh?
I opened my eyes slowly to see Rose right in front of my face sitting beside me.
What the heck!
I jumped back hitting my head on the wall behind me.
"Rose! "
"Sorry." she said and slowly backed away.
What was that all about?
I got up slowly and went over to my chest drawer and pulled out the jeans and T-Shirt I came to this time in and walked into the bathroom and put them on.
When I came out Rose was sharpening one of her daggers on the floor.
"Rose? "
She looked up an smiled.
"What? "
"You're smiling this morning and you just seem happy. "
"Is that a problem?" she said glancing down at her dagger.
"No, it's just..."
"What! " she said again, this time in Rose fashion.
I grinned.
"It's refreshing. " I said and went out of the room downstairs and saw dad, uncle yukio, and... izumo?
I sat down at the table.
"Izumo? " I said.
She stood up.
"Sorry. For the other day. I was just a little shocked. "
"Well, that's understandable. "
"Paku's coming by later. She said she wanted to see how you're doing. "
Oh goodness. I haven't told paku yet!
I got up and looked at all of them.
"Something's happening today. Someone's coming for me. "
"What! " they all shouted.
"She wants to kill me, for something I haven't even done yet. "
"How does she know what you're going to do?" izumo said.
"She's a seer. And she's Meia's mom. "
"Well, isn't that great? " izumo said.
Apparently, izumo has met Meia.
And she does not appear to be very fond of her.
I explained the situation to all of them as best as I could, sitting down at the table.
"So, miss barbie has a psycho bitch for a mother? We know where all those problems came from now. " izumo said.
"And she's supposed to be coming today according to Meia. " I said.
"Well, no matter what, she's not gonna lay a finger on you. " dad said.
I smiled.
"Thanks dad. " I said.
Uncle yukio stood up from the table and sighed.
"How are we going to fight her? " he asked.
"Like anyone else would. With weapons. Guns and shit. " Rose said, coming down the stairs.
"Who is this? " izumo and uncle yukio said at the same time.
"I'm Rose. " rose said and walked over to the table, taking a seat.
"When did you get here? " uncle yukio said.
"Yesterday. But I've been around the school for a while. I'm here to help with your problem. " rose said.
Uncle yukio glanced at her daggers by her waist and his eyes narrowed.
"Are you-"
"Yes. And I'm also the best looking one in the business. " rose said flipping her hair to the side.
Uncle yukio looked to me.
"You hired an assassin! Do you know how much they cost! " uncle yukio said.
"How do you know how much they cost? " I said inquiringly.
His face went red.
"Old mission. Worked with one. " he said quietly.
Then the door burst open to reveal Meia, paku, and.... Renzo!?!?
Meia ran up to me and hugged me tightly.
"I brought our two others. " Meia said.
"Wait, you mean... " I said looking at Renzo.
"Yep. Apparently I'm a knight. " Renzo said.
"I thought you didn't ever wanna see me again. " I said morosely.
He walked up to me and smiled.
"I'm sorry, Yuki. It's just, well, you haven't been easy on me, relationship wise you know. " he said.
"I don't think I've been easy on anyone. " I said.
He brushed some hair off from my forehead.
"You know, maybe we should start again. " he said.
I grinned.
"Maybe, we should. " I said.
Then I hugged him tightly.
I heard izumo clear her throat and I blushed furiously.
I broke the hug and looked around at everyone else.
I faced towards paku.
"Paku, did Meia explain-"
"Yes, she did. Everything. I'd be glad to help, Yuki. " she said.
I let out a sigh of relief.
I stood up on the table and got ready.
"Okay, guys. I know all of this hasn't been easy on any of you at all. I get it. It hasn't been easy on me either....But, I think if we can put our heads together we can do this. "
I looked over at Rose.
"Some of you don't really like me... " I said and Rose smirked.
"Actually, you're not that bad. I could get used to you." Rose said.
I grinned and looked over at izumo, paku, and renzo.
"Some of you didn't get to say goodbye to me last time... "
Izumo's face darkened.
"But, maybe we can heal the wounds I left behind. " I said and they smiled.
I looked at Meia.
"Some of you are probably feeling neverous right now. You're probably thinking, this is absolutely crazy. " I said and Meia blushed.
"But I have faith that we can do this together. " I said and Meia relaxed.
I looked to dad and uncle yukio.
"And some of you have only known me for a short time but in that short time you came to love me. You recognized me as your own and I, I thank you so much. For loving me because before here.... "
I thought of my blue wolf.
"Only one person ever loved me like family. " I said.
I looked to everyone.
"I love all of you, you know. " I said and jumped off the table.
Suddenly, I felt someone hugging me.
I was surprised to see it was rose.
"R-Rose... " I said and saw she was crying.
"All she wanted was for someone to love her like her brother did, unconditionally. She wanted someone who could look past the horrible things she did and accept her anyway. She found her sister." Rose said.
I couldn't believe it.
Rose thinks of me.... Like a sister.
I hugged her back.
"I think I found a sister too. " I said and saw her cry a little, then break away.
Then Meia started screaming.
"She's here! She's here! " Meia screamed as she fell to the ground.
I picked her up quickly and helped her over to the bottom of the stairs.
She grabbed my hand.
"Yuki, there's something I didn't tell you. " she said desperately.
"What! " I said.
"If my mother succeeds in killing you, then she'll move on to greater territory. "
"What do you mean! "
"I mean him. The blue wolf you cherish so much. "
I gasped for breath.
"No... "
She can't.
She can't.
There's no way in hell I'll let her kill him. My adoptive dad, my grandfather.
My blue wolf.
He destroyed my life and he brought it back.
I stood up with a determined look on my face.
Dad threw me my sword and I smiled at its familiar blade.
"Thought you might need that. " dad said and I grinned.
I looked to the door to see it shaking.
Get ready, bitch.
I'm about to go psycho on yo ass.
Then the doors burst open.
