Chapter Eighteen: Aki's Favorite Word Is Fuck.

╚⊶⊶⊶⊶⊶✞⊷⊷⊷⊷⊷╝

HER breath came out in a white puff, her nose and cheeks red from the cold. She looked up to the sky for a brief moment, wondering when exactly the snow would begin to fall. She huddled into her jacket, wishing she'd brought a thicker one. She had a feeling she would be stopping somewhere later and making a purchase.

Her gaze finally fell on the place she'd been searching for. Her steps came to a halt, her body turning to face the building in front of her. The short sign read 'Hongo Catholic Church'. If she hadn't been walking, she would have never seen it. It blended in with the rest of the buildings and didn't even stand out as a church. The only thing that gave a hint was the cross on the top of the roof.

She shrugged it off and stepped under the arch, looking around for the door. When she found it, she pulled it open, stepping into the lobby. She reached up, touching her forehead, then her chest, and either of her shoulders. Warmth flooded her, making her sigh softly. She rubbed her hands together as she ventured further into the church.

The lobby wasn't very big, and when she found the sanctuary, she found that it wasn't much bigger. Although Japan mostly practiced Shinto and Buddhism, so it wasn't a surprise that the church was so small.

She walked up to the alter, muttering a phrase under her breath before she began to look around. She heard a door open to her left and turned, watching as a woman dressed in a black and white cloak emerged. Her gaze immediately fell on the woman standing in the chapel, making her shoulders rise with slight surprise

"Hello," The woman greeted. "I'm Sister Yui. May I help you with something?

"I was wondering if the Father was here," Aki replied, turning to face her.

"No, I'm afraid not," The Sister sighed, placing the box in her arms down onto a pew. "He's out of town and won't be back until Sunday service."

"I see," Aki muttered. "Would you tell him that Adrian's daughter was here? He'll understand."

"I'll be sure to relay the message," She smiled. "Do you want to write your number down or anything?"

"I'll be back on Sunday if possible," She shook her head. "Either way, I'll be back to see him."

"Alright," She said. "Anything else I can help with?"

"No, that was all. Thank you, Sister."

Aki turned and left the chapel, exiting through the door she entered in. All of the warmth left her once more, making a shudder run down her spine. She gave a huff as she reached into her pocket, taking her phone out. She swiped past all the messages from her brother and clicked on a different contact.
