Blue eyes

Chapter 15: Golden eyes

This chapter may be fast for some. I promise after this it'll be slow and paced like before other than that enjoy.

It had been days since April stopped entirely from visiting the lair. You'd go to check up on her occasionally, she later found out that you weren't even there when the mutagen spilled. So with the chance to talk to her, you would try to reason with her on coming back. But of course, she told you she needed space so you respectfully stepped back from her life for a while.

You sighed. "And the guys have been focusing on nothing but finding the mutagen canisters." Your voice being swallowed up by the sounds of the big apple. An errand needed to be run, a secret errand. It was almost a year now since you've met the guys so you have the privilege of celebrating their mutation day with them. But first, you had to find each of their individual gifts. Your phone ringed from a call. "Hello?"

"(Y/n) how've you been? You haven't talked to me in so long."

"Oh, hehe hi mom. I'm fine thanks for asking. How's the tea factory doing?" You tried changing subjects.

"Fine. We've recently closed a deal with another Japanese tea company they'll be coming soon to sign the contracts."

"Oh that's really good mom. Hbout the elders they've been doing ok?"

"If you mean your Sensei he's been asking if you've been keeping up with your training." You jolted remembering how strict that old man was.

"Tell the old man he doesn't need to worry, I can handle myself."

"Ok sweetheart. Oh and how is Kami? That's the wolf pup's name right?"

"Pup?"

"Yea, she was only 3 years old when we gave her to you. She should be 4 now." You clenched your phone. 'She didn't even live her life out.'

"She's fine" You remembered something, "Uhm mom do you know anything about the Ashura's origin, or maybe the elders have scrolls for a record?"

"......I knew you would ask someday." She sighed. "I'm sorry even I don't know, your father was secretive on the matter. I could ask the elders if you'd like?"

"Please. I have their number but I don't contact them unless it's for weapons."

"Alright I'll contact you if they tell me anything. Ooo! That reminds me they've been telling me you wanted to get a sword that's being held in New York."

"I'm actually on my way to get it right now. It's the sword of Miyamoto Musashi." Your mother gasped again. She was very aware of the sword as it was a historical treasure. "Take care of it, the elders said that only a person with a lot of experience can wield it."

"It's actually- never mind." 'I have no right wielding the blade of that ronin. Someone much more skilled deserves it.' "So that's why they didn't give it to me earlier, they wanted me to have more experience?"

"Yes and now that you do it's in your custody. I'm so proud of you!!" She squealed. you could practically hear her giving kisses over the phone. You chuckled. 'Lively as ever.'

"We should celebrate when you come to visit ma."

"At Murakami's?" She had a hopeful tone.

"Course it's on me, you deserve to be taken out for dinner mother." The last words held sorrow. When was the last time she had been taken out to dinner by a romantic interest or treated out by anyone at all? It had just been you and her, she deserved some type of reward.
