I want to fight // Genshin Oc insert //

Chapter 14

I start regretting the decision of going home the minute my mom starts repeatedly yelling at me asking where my brother in friends are. Like I'd tell that wench. And of course she yells about dragging me back to my shrine maiden classes after I've been lying to her for five years. I collapsed onto my bed, with barely enough energy to change clothes. 

 Sleep hit me like a boulder and I was out for a while. So long that my mom woke me up at 1pm to get ready for the shrine maiden training. I didn't feel rested enough. My heart was tired of feeling all the stress and pain and rage, that I was just keeping my mind off of it all. My brother was safe. Asahi was safe. Saki was safe. And I was safe. That was all that mattered. I pulled my shrine maiden attire on and drudged up the hill with my mother gripping my arm with an iron force, scolding me the whole trek up mount Yougou. I was too exhausted to shoot my usual arsenal of retorts, and maybe that was going to make things easier for me later on. 

 When we got to the shrine I saw all their whispering and hated it. I was exhausted from hating but I hated anyway. My mother said to Lady Mei, 
"I don't want you to let her out of your sight." and I hated it. A girl in the crowd of trainees snickered and I hated it. Saki wasn't there when I looked among them and I hated it. My mom told me,
"Be grateful for all I did for you." And I exploded.
"ALL YOU'VE DONE FOR ME!? WHAT HAVE YOU DONE FOR ME? I don't need these STUPID robes or these STUPID lessons! I don't need to be JUST LIKE YOU! I want a MOTHER not a BULLY!" I slammed my mask on the ground and all my grief caught up to me. Haru-sensei was gone. And he's not coming back. The tears itched at my eyes and my mother was absolutely furious. 
"I have been the perfect mother to you. I have been kind, I have been loving but you, you have been the discrace of the family and don't seem to want to change. No matter. I'll make you into a presentable, worthy child." 

I couldn't take the pain anymore it swirled out of control into something tangible. Wind. A storm overhead was breaking out around me, and my mother looked at me in shock. The winds enveloped me like a soothing embrace, carrying my screams and tears of frustration into the white void of the sky. 

"LOVE ME!" I screamed "ALL I EVER WANTED WAS FOR YOU TO LOVE ME!" Of course she couldn't hear me, no one could hear me as the wind circling me. 
"Emiko..." A voice swirling somewhere in the stands of air, "I know you've never had much, I know you lost so many things. I bless you.  I give you my blessing to lose your sorrows in the waves of the wind. To defend what you have left." Then another voice, one that peirced through the storm instead of being carried in it.

"EMIKO!!" Yuki... "EMIKO, RUN!" I looked back ready to fight whatever the threat was, expecting some of the Shogun's guards. But no, ronin. I was unarmed and they were attacking the shrine. This is bad

Yuki was running away to Saki, who's kitsune mask is drawn over her face. Saki pulled it off and shouted, 
"EMIKO! WHAT ARE YOU DOING? GET OVER HERE!" I didn't listen, or even see what she said as anything more than meaningless white noise. About six ronin, at least twice my height, destroying everything in sight. It didn't phase me. It should have. Something dropped to the ground in front of me. The sword. The sword my master has gifted to me with his last words to me. My sword. I picked it up, not even looking at where it came from. One of the ronin charged at me, and I raised my sword. When it was about to collide, I swung it right in front of it, a gust of wind blowing the ronin back. I should have noticed the freshly bright anemo vision in my hand sooner. Was it Barbatos who spoke to me earlier?

With my newfound vision, I charged at another one of the ronin, our swords clashed, but I expertly disarmed it and focused a gust of air into existance, strong enough to throw the ronin high in the air and fall still to the ground. Wow, this thing is awesome. I dodge another ronin's attack, and defeat it easily by sending it flying into one of the buildings. The sound of wood splintering sounds upon impact, but I can worry about the damages later. I looked at the anemo vision in my hand. I can get used to fighting like this. 

"Stop! Put down that vision" I heard an authoritative voice yell. I almost thought it was the lady from earlier, but when I looked over I saw Kojou Sarah. There's a lot I can say about her, but the main thing is, she's not someone I should be messing with. But against my better judgement, I yell, 
"COME AND GET IT BITCH!" And wave it above my head. I artfully dodge the bolt of lightning she send my way and sprint toward Saki and Yuki who have been gesturing wildly for me to come over. I Shuffle my vision and sword awkwardly into the same hand, grab Yuki's rm with a death grip, knowing Saki is holding his other arm, and using the momentum, leap off mount Yougou.

Author's note:

Hey guys, there's a lot of things I can say about this fic. First of all, I'm sorry updates have been slow and this one was short. I've been busy with school and exams and whatnot. Second, I didn't know How eerily similar this was to Kuki Shinobu's story until about chapter 10 when I actually learned it. It was completely on accident, I'm sorry Mihoyo. Thirdly, I don't know if this is a good representation of parental issues, because I don't have them. The trauma is really just Sexy bacon at this point. Thank you for following the story so far, it mean's a lot! :)
