Love Far Beyond the Ashes

In the Middle

Mumei pov:"Mumei, how do you deal with it?" Selen asked

I turned my head around so I could look at her. "Deal with what?" I asked  Selen sighed and pointed at Fauna and Kronii, who were clinging to my arms and slightly tugging on me.

"It's actually really simple, and they're cute," I laughed.

"That can't be it." Selen commented

"Well, if I don't love them both, then they'll kill each other," I laughed.

"Uhuh," Selen said.

"Look, it's not my fault you can't even get one girlfriend." I said

"Okay, I'm not sure if Pomu likes me." Selen said

"She better not," Elira said as she glared in Pomu's direction.

"Why am I feeling chills!?" Pomu asked

"No reason..."  Elira growled

She picked up a rock and crushed it while staring deeply into Pomu's eyes. The fairy suddenly went pale. Well, she obviously likes Selen, but I'm not going to tell her that since I think it's funny seeing her squirm and panic.

"Mumei, can we be alone for awhile?" Kronii asked

"No. Fauna wants me too," I said.

"That's right, Kronii!" Fauna boasted

"They may rip you in half, Senpai," Zeta said.

"That'd be fun," I giggled.

"Get some help," Kaela said.

"Nope," I replied.

I managed to pull my arms away and began to rub both of their thighs; they seemed to like this.

"Meimei, can you help me? I need to get Yatagarasu out of a tree," Sana requested.

"Yeah, I'll help," I told her.

I turned into my full owl form and flew up to get it out of the tree, and as soon as I landed and turned back to normal Fauna, Kronii dashed to my new location and clung onto me.

"They're so clingy!" Selen said

"You're just jealous," I said to her. She shook her head rapidly, but I could tell she was

"I mean, if I could get multiple girlfriends to satisfy me, that'd be cool... Selen said

"No one is dating my little sister..." Elira growled

"You can't be that controlling, Elira." "I let my little sisters date," Kiara said.

"Well, you aren't actually related to them," Elira said.

"True, but we are still family." I yawned.

"Mumei, are you tired? You can sleep on my lap!" Fauna offered

"No sleep on my lap!" Kronii said

"I'll sleep on both of your laps, but in a minute, right now, I want to talk to everyone," I said.

They nodded, but they got closer to me. I was in the middle again.

"I need a bit more space," I said.

"Okay!"  They both said as they scooted over a tiny bit.

"Okay, I guess that's fine," I giggled.

"Ela, you should smother me like this!" Zeta said

"Do you want my milkers?" Kaela asked

"N—no, of course I don't!" Zeta yelled

"Well, I don't believe that," Kaela said.

"What is wrong with all of you?" Calli asked

"Nothing!"  We all said

Calli didn't seem to believe that we clearly have a few screws loose, at least.

"You are crazy too," I told her.

Calli didn't even argue with me about that; she knows she has a few screws loose; she is really, she may be the most insane one here. Well, that isn't true.

I looked at Kiara and began to read her mind.

"Stop reading my mind..." She told me

"Wait, you could tell I was reading your mind?" I asked

"Yeah, is that weird?" She asked

"It kind of is since only I should be able to tell what I'm doing; is our bond that good?" I asked

I looked at the ground and then thought about something I've never read in Fauna and Kronii's minds.

I tuned into both their heads, and all they were thinking about right now was me. I don't know what else they'd be thinking about other than fauna and plants.

I felt dizzy all of a sudden, and I felt as if another entity had entered my body, but it wasn't Omega. What is now inhabiting my body? I don't know.

I'm a vessel, so anything could technically enter the body, even though I now actually have a soul.

All of a sudden, the feeling was gone. What happened?  I wondered

Kiara glanced at me and frowned, asking, "What's wrong?" She asked me

I didn't want to tell her anything at all because then she'd worry, and I at least wanted to rest for a little bit without anything weird happening.

"Tell me," Kiara told me.

"Fine, I felt a soul enter and exit my body," I told her.

"Really?"  She questioned

She sounded worried, but I don't want her to do so since I'll be fine no matter what.

"If you lose control, Bae and I will stop you," Irys said.

"I hope so. Wait, where are Ame and Gura?" I asked

"She lost it and ran, so Gura is going after her," Ina said.

I am now worried because Ame is clearly scared of that other woman vanishing in front of us. I need to make sure she's okay.

"Zeta, we're going!" I told her

I suddenly felt dizzy again and began to fall forward. Sana caught me.

"Lie down, Meimei," she told me.

"Yeah, you've pushed yourself too much," Selen said.

I couldn't say anything to that. All in all, even though I got healed by Fauna and Kronii, my body is still damaged.

"I need to go though," I sighed.

"Calli and I will go with Ina," Kiara said.

"Why?" I asked.

"We became good friends with Gura and Ame, so we will try to calm her down," Kiara said.

"Let's go and help her." Calli cheered

Kiara and Calli stood up and walked away with Ina.

"You aren't going with her, Sana?" I asked

"No, Ina will be fine doing this on her own," Sana told me.

She was trusting, and she knows how to rest. I needed to do that, so I walked over to Fauna and Kronii, who were lying on their laps.

I'll sleep here.
