The Human That Remains

Chapter Thirty-Three

The five sat down on the mats in Mono's living room. Enmu had joined in with the group while Rui sat on Mono's lap. Obanai wanted to leave so bad, but Mitsuri wanted to stay and chat with the girl. "So Mono-chan, how do you like your estate? It's really pretty." Mitsuri complimented. "I like it. Don't get me wrong I love the boys like family, but they're a bit too... chaotic? It's nice and quiet."
"I've noticed there aren't any wisteria trees around here. Aren't you afraid of demons coming to attack?" Mono shook her head at the girl. "The reason why there isn't any wisteria trees around here is because of them. I didn't want them to be around wisteria seems how it's a repelent for demons. So in order to keep them safe I didn't want to be around wisteria trees."

*Thud*

The group looked around for whatever made the sound. 'Sounds like it came from the window.' Mono thought. Mono sat Rui down on the floor. She stood up and walked over to the window and opened it. A small pigeon had flopped onto the floor. "It's a Messenger Pigeon. There are a few left in the world." Mono said, picking the bird up. Mono looked over the message. Her spinel pink orbs lit up slightly. The note was from her older sister. "I have to go pick up my neices, she said she'd like me to pick them up today." Mono turned towards the group. "Anyone want to go with me?" Rengoku couldn't go seems how they needed to head home. So Mitsuri said that she could go. Obanai said he'd go because of Mitsuri. Mono waved to Senjuro and Kyojuro telling them to come visit soon.

Mono, Mitsuri and Obanai were at a train station. The three got on the train. Mitsuri sat with Mono while Obanai watched the two interact with each other. The black haired male hated Mono even more for talking to Mitsuri. Mono could feel his glare on her. Making her grow nervous around Obanai. He wouldn't have any problem murdering the young teen. The three got off the train and walked down the dirt path. "So Mono-chan, what are your neices names?" Mitsuri asked. Mono only shrugged. "I don't know, I've never met them. So when I read the note I decided to take this opportunity to meet them." Mono said.

"Wait a minute. You've never met these girls? How do you know that this is even your sister, for all we know you could be leading us to our death." Obanai hissed at the white haired girl. "I wouldn't do that. I like you guys and consider you my friends now. Why would I lead my new friends to their death? Besides I know my sister's handwritting when I see it." Mono said. "I haven't seen her in forever." Mono said with a smile.

"How long has it been since you've seen her?" Mitsuri asked. "Well, let's see I'm seventeen now..." The white haired girl muttered to herself. "Thirteen years." The dark haired male and the pink to green haired girl stopped in their tracks. Shocked at what the girl said. Mono realized they weren't following her, she turned her head and saw thir expressions. "What?" The two continued on. "Nothing." Mitsuri said. Suddenly Mitsuri's crow had called for her to go on a mission. The girl was a bit upset to leave Mono. "Don't worry I'll introduce you when you get back." Mono said. Obanai was about to leave with Mitsuri, but she told him to stay with Mono to make sure she gets there safe. But before the male could reject the idea, the pink to green haired girl was long gone. Obanai stayed with the white haired girl, following her into the city.

"So what is your relationship with your sister?" Obanai suddenly asked. "Well, I like them but uh, they don't seem to like me back." Mono said, walking up to a door. Kaburamaru slithered around Mono's neck as she knocked on the door. The door opened to reveal a tall woman with beautiful black hair. Her eyes were a beautiful shade of blue. Mono went up to hug the woman, greeting her. The woman shoved Mono off, and stared at the teen with disgust. The action caught Obanai by surprise. "Just because I need you to watching my daughters doesn't mean I like you, Taboo-san." The woman said. "I have to go, the girl's are packing everything up. So go tell them that I'm leaving or something." The woman said leaving the two. Mono told Obanai to follow her. The two walked up the stairs and were met with two little girls, one with long black hair who looked to be around five and a baby who had short black hair she was a few months old. The baby was sitting in her big sister's arms.
