Blood Moon

Chapter 62

*Hiroshi's Pov*

The next day, Ruri had finally managed to wake up. Auntie Mika cried tears of joy seeing that she was alright.

Uncle Kyotarou checked her to make sure they weren't any wounds on her body.

Surprisedly...None...

Ruri: Big Brother...

Me: Ruri...? Are you okay?

I mean...after all she been through. Hannya-Sama kidnapped her and held the poor girl in captivity in the Realm of the Dead.

According to Kuro-san, the Realm of the Dead is a space in-between the afterlife and hell.

It has been one hell of a summer for all of us...

If Hannya hasn't harmed Ruri physically, we also need to make sure she's mentally okay.

Ruri: I-I'm fine...

Mika: Are you sure, baby? Do you need anything? Want me to make you your special hot chocolate that you always like?

Ruri: Y-Yeah. I would like that, Mommy.

Mika: With whipped cream?

Ruri nodded.

Auntie Mika got up from her spot and went further into the back of the cafe. I begin to hear some grinding and pouring sound back there, obviously knowing she's making the hot chocolate right away.

Kyotarou: Ruri-chan...Are you sure you're okay?

Ruri: I'm fine Daddy...

Both me and Uncle weren't too sure about that. Unlike Ruri's usual cherry self. She sounded way different. She was quiet and meek...She even looked a little smaller under us.

Kyotarou: Hmmm? Did that spirit did anything to you? Did she say something? Did she hurt you? Did she touch you in anyway that's very inappropriate?

Ruri didn't answer his questions right away which unhinged Uncle Kyotarou. He was trying to simmer in his anger while staying calm...

At least he was trying...

Hannya-Sama definitely did something to her...

That fucking bitch...

Whatever happend to Hannya in the past is the past. Vengeful spirit or not, nobody hurts Ruri and gets away with it!!!

Ruri: I....well....

Kyotarou:.... It's okay. I can wait until you're ready to tell me. In the meantime get some rest, my little girl. You'll need it.

Ruri: O-Okay Daddy...

Uncle then looked at me with a slight nod. He wants me to look after her. I nodded as well. I won't let her out of my sight anymore.

Uncle then went into the kitchen as it was just me and Ruri now.

Ruri: Big Brother...?

Me: Yes...

Ruri: I...know I haven't told Mommy or Daddy yet but...Hannya-Sama did say something to me when I was held captive.

Did she waited for Uncle and Auntie to leave so she could tell me this?

Me: Do you know Hannya abducted you?

Ruri: I'm not sure that much...but she said it was because "You have everything I ever wanted...So I'm going to take that from you..."

The hell? What does she mean by that...?
