Blossoms

Chapter 18

I storm after them, fury burning in my eyes as all I see is red, red, red.
"Just wait, Chizuru!" I shout as she turns around, firing  a face so cold and distant, shivers chase my spine. "Was a threat to one of your men not enough? I said BACK OFF!" She swings Sparkle at me as Chikage stands there nursing a now asleep Lalia. "Listen," I grab Chizury by her shoulders, gently shaking her to make her see sense, "it's me, your husband!" "PAHAHAGA! Dear, did you hear that? This mutt thinks I'm his wife...Hilarious!" She laughs right in my face as she pushes away my hands, brushing her shoulders in disgust as if I'm a piece of dirt. "He's only jealous that a man like me has you and a man like him would never get you," Chikage speaks with a hiss as he too joins in in laughing.
"How humorous indeed," Chizuru adds, a hand held in her hip as she looks me up and down,"As if I'd ever marry that!" She once again erupts into laughter as she waves a hand at me before once again turning to walk 'home' with that demon. "Papa," Lalia sits up and looks at me,"That's a very bad man, I don't like him. He hurt me." That childish voice that use to be so loving is tainted with cruelty injected by that monster. "You have no right," I bark as I begin seeing an assortment of red again. "Whatever do you mean strange sir, you and your men are the ones that attached my daughter and hounded my wife and I'm the one in the wrong, you are lucky you are still breathing." He smiles insanely as he looks to me. That bastard knows how to get under my skin easily.
"Kazama, he's not worth it, you're better than him," Chizuru holds a hand to his chest as she looks at me with anger in those now cold eyes, no warmth or love  visible in them. "You're right, let's go."
"No," I grab Chizuru and kiss her until SMACK. The side of my temple stings as I look to see Chizuru standing there with a hand held up from punching me. "I'm a married woman. Have some respect you bastard!" She then proceeds to flick her hair before walking with Chikage, muttering about how much of a disgrace I am.
In the past, Chizuru use to playfully hit me when id chase her for a kiss but that was so strong and hurt my heart so much I could only tell she was being absolutely serious.
"You seriously don't remember me?" I shout after her, my heart quivering in my chest from sadness and heartbreak, trying to get her to look at me with those loving eyes that I've seen for six years. "What is there to remember? You are merely a stranger to me, sir," Chizuru spoke so harshly it was as though I was indeed a stranger to her. "That's my baby! Chizuru I'm begging you please stop this and come with me and we can get Lalia and you help!" I plea with her desperately, like I've never done in my life.
"How do you know her name?" Chizuru had folded arms and a raised brow as she came face to face with me. "Dear, come along," hurries Chikage trying to rush Chizuru along, Lalia remaining in his arms.
"Let's go dear, do not humour him any longer," Chikage takes Chizurus arm but she brushes him off. "Not until I find out why he knows our daughters name. What are you a stalker or something?" She looks at me, fear now joining her cold eyes. "She's my daughter and the baby your carrying is my baby, please Chizuru just look at me," I look at her, tears blinding my vision as she looks back, tears in hers also. "Stop it," she shouts as she links on to Chikage,"you're messing with my daughters head, stop this!"  They walk away. I let them go..

Chizuru POV
Just who the hell do them creeps think they are? First they grab and swing my daughter about in the street, not even letting her down as she screamed. Then this big shot thinks I'm his wife and Chikages baby is his? That was so crazy!
"Kazama, do you know him?" I question, slightly irate from the scene that had just unfolded infront of me. "No, love. But have no fear, I doubt he'll be around anymore," he kisses my temples lovingly as he soothed Lalia who was drifting in and out of dreamland. I can't help but wonder, though, why the man was so desperate for me to acknowledge him. His eyes were filled with sorrow as of i did truly know him or that I should have known him, who knows, maybe I'm a past life we were lovers.
I turn my head round, him not in sight as my heart feels empty as though I wanted him to be there, crazy! Why would I want a perhaps drugged up man to still be there as is he is important to me? I also noticed that when I laid my eyes on him, my baby moved for the first time in 2 days, kicking excitedly as I stood there annoyed. This is all so confusing!
