Paws and Fangs

Chapter 5

"Ahhhh, Naomi, I'm so glad your home!" Natsumi sat next to her daughter on the couch, smiling brightly as she could. Naomi, next to her, smiled back. "It's lovely to be back, mom" Naomi exclaimed, holding her mothers hands in her's.

Seiko sat on the armchair, watching the two bound with a smile. But that smile quickly faded, as a memory that haunts her came up.

(Flashback to the day before Seiko's mother disappeared)

"Mommy! When will you be back from your trip?" Seiko asked, tugging at her mother's blouse. She smiled and looked down at Seiko. "I won't be long, Seiko" The older women hugged the little girl. Seiko happily returned the hug.

(The next day)

Seiko stared wide eyed at her father.

Her father had just got a phone call from one of her mother's coworkers that was on the business trip with her. The thing is, apparently she had gone missing.

Seiko collapsed to her knees, tears streaming down her face. "Naomi goes missing and now my mother..? LIFE IS NOT FAIR!!!" Seiko yelled, slamming her hands down on the floor.

She screamed, making her father wince. "NAOMI!!! MOMMY!!! WAHHH!!!"

(Flashback over)

Seiko wiped a hidden tear in her eye while Naomi or Natsumi wasn't looking.

Natsumi sniffled and turned towards Seiko. "Thank you so much, Shinohara, for finding and caring about my daughter" Natsumi smiled at her, with a soft and calm expression that made Seiko feel truly at home.

Seiko rubbed her neck, cheeks going red a tad. "It was nothing, I just happen to care a lot about her" She blushed more as she said that, also making Naomi blush, and Natsumi smile widely. The older woman giggled lightly.

"That's good to hear".

"It's been a while since we last had a sleepover, huh Seiko?" Naomi said, turning out her bedroom light, making the whole room go pitch black.

Seiko shuffled around in her futon. "Yeah, totally, I've missed this..." Seiko suddenly frowned, remembering the times she was all alone until she met Naomi. Then she smiled, ah Naomi...

Naomi stepped over Seiko to get over to her own bed, but giving Seiko a whole view of underneath her night gown.

Seiko's face went bright red, lighting up in the dark. "Holy shit...SHES NOT WEARING PANTIES..!" She thought, and ducked her head under the covers of her futon in utter embarrassment.

Naomi crawled into her bed, and turned over to look at Seiko below her, confusion filling her as Seiko hid herself under the futon.

"Seiko..? Is something wrong?" She asked. Seiko suddenly sat up at the speed of lightning, throwing her arms around like crazy.

"No no! I'm fine! Really! Nothing to worry about here...haha" She awkwardly laughed, red faced and scratched her neck.

Naomi hmm'ed and smiled innocently. "Alright then, goodnight, Seiko" She said, burring her face into her pillow.

Seiko yawned and looked up at the ceiling, arms crossed behind her head.

"Hey, Seiko?" Naomi suddenly asked, turning to look at the vampire. Seiko eyes fell upon Naomi at the calling of her name.
