Hakkenden: Eight Dogs of the East [FanFic]

Chapter 18: Back Home

[Your Name]'s POV

I am back. I am back to where I truly belong. I cried tears of joy while I was on my way here.

"I miss them. But I have to do this for the greater good." I thought as I sighed.

I am so happy that I'll get to see my siblings again.

I walked my way to the path where it will lead me to my home.

The place didn't change. The trees are still the same. The fallen leaves that were being piled up were still normal and the neighborhood is still so peaceful.

I smiled at the people I encounter on my way.

"Its great to see you back home, [Your Name]!" A villager shouted and I smiled widely at him.

The feeling of being welcomed to my own HOME is so fluttering.

I reached our farm and saw our house standing not so far from the river.

Tears started to well up in the side of my eyes but I held it in. I have to save some for later.

[A/N: If you're an only child, pretend you have an older brother and 2 younger sisters. If you have siblings then let your imagination get into you. *winks*]

3rd Person's POV

You saw your older brother combing your younger sister's hair while the youngest is playing with her dolls. You missed them so much.

You walked towards them and quietly called your older brother.

"[Your Name]?" He said.

"[Brother's Name]. I'm back." You said in between tears.

"Nee-chan!!! We missed you so much!" The youngest said and hugged your hips tightly. You hugged her back.

"M-Me too, [Y/S/N]. I missed you s-so much." You said.

[A/N: Y/S/N means Youngest Sister's Name.]

"Are you still going back there?" Asked [Sister's Name] while in the verge of crying. That was your sister who was born after you.

"I-I don't know." You said with a painful smile.

"You haven't made love with anyone yet, right nee-chan?" The youngest asked which made the three of you older ones widen your eyes.

"O-Of course I h-haven't." You answered with a blush.

"Its good to have you back, [Your Name]." You brother said and you hugged him tightly.

"I m-missed you all s-so much." You said in between sobs.

"They didn't harm you, did they?" You shook your head as an answer to him.

"Actually, I was the one harming them. I was always the one who put their lives in danger." You said and felt a pain in your heart. You felt so bad and blamed yourself for agreeing to Satomi's offer in the first place.

Your brother sighed and caressed your cheeks while your sisters chase each other in the field.

"Girls! Be careful!" You yelled and they nodded with smiles on their innocent faces.

"You better take your things to your room and fix them before taking a rest." You nodded and smiled at how motherly your brother acts.

You immediately brought your bags in your room. You scanned the room if there was any difference and you smiled because there wasn't any difference. It's always clean as ever.

"Its still the same." You murmured to yourself.

You started unpacking. You remembered the guys in the Mansion and even if they're so annoying, you missed their noise and their voices.

You loved them so much.

Tears started flowing down your soft cheeks. The memories came flashing back. The kisses you shared with Shino, Sosuke, Satomi, Shinobu and Kobungo. You missed it all.

You hugged your shirt close to your chest and thought, "Was I a bad person when I left them all without any word but with just a letter? I felt so bad."

After moments of resting, thinking and being sentimental, you decided to help at some chores.

"[Sister's Name]. Where's [Brother's Name]?" You asked.

[A/N: Your house is the old Japanese style home.]

"Nii-san went out to buy some ingredients for dinner." She replied while struggling to comb her waist-length hair.

You smiled and sat behind her.

"Let me comb your hair for you."
She nodded with a sweet smile.

"How is the farm while I'm gone?" You asked.

"The blueberries started growing so beautifully and it tastes so good too." She said.

"Nee-chan. My finger bled." [Y/S/N] said while crying.

Your eyes widened and held in your urge to suck it.

"H-Hold on." You stood up and went to the cabinets to get the cotton, bandage and disinfectant.

You were shaking but you cured it without sucking or licking it.

"Thank you, nee-chan." She said with a wide grin. You smiled as a cold sweat was felt on your back as a sign of relief.

"Are you okay, onee-chan?" [Sister's Name] asked. She knew about your powers so she was worried.

"Y-Yeah. I am perfectly... fine." You replied with a sweet smile.

"Its good that you controlled it because nii-san isn't here to help you stop it." She said and looked at you with a blank expression.

"S-Sorry. Oh. Let me continue fixing your hair." You said and brushed her hair as soft and gentle as possible.

You braided her hair which made you smile so wide. It was so pretty. She was so beautiful in your eyes.

"I could never be as beautiful as her." You thought as your gaze softened and you smiled sadly.

"Nii-san!!!" Your youngest sister ran up to your brother who was holding two big bags filled with ingredients.

"Hold it, [Y/S/N]. I might drop this." He said and smiled at your youngest sister.

"[Brother's Name]-nii. Let me help you." You stood up and ran to your brother's aid.

"Thank you, [Your Name]. Please do bring it inside so I can already cook dinner." He said an you nodded.

You haven't felt so relaxed ever since you left the Mansion.

You looked at the sky and smiled painfully to yourself when you thought, "I hope they find a better girl or woman than me."
