Like A Walk In The Park (Part 2)

Ki unlike usual had woken me up before the sun had risen. Sleeping under my bed covers was so warm and comfortable that I struggled to awaken. I grumbled slightly before rolling over my bed trying to ignore Ki.

[ Just five more minutes! ]

Alas her calls turned into whining and then she finally grabbed my arm and attempted to shake me away. At this point, she shook me hard enough that I had almost fallen out onto the floor.

" You're finally awake young master" Ki cooed.

With my arm over my face, I opened one eye to see Ki not wearing her usual maid attire. She was in brown leather pants, a long white shirt and some black riding boots. It was all covered in a brown travelling cloak. She also had a belt around her waist that had an array of tiny black throwing knives as well as two black daggers one on each hip.

[ Oh right we are leaving for the forest today I forgot ]

To her side were two bags that I guessed were filled to the brim with supplies as well as two small pouches. I sat up and rubbed my eyes. Ki picked up a bowl of breakfast and placed it on my bedside table. She then walked up to the bags to produce a set of clothing for me.

The clothing I changed into was black leather pants and a long black shirt as well as a black travelling cloak. She also handed me a bandana with gold markings on it, which she told me to wear if I smelled any fumes or if there was some sort of dirt storm.

I couldn't see myself but I assumed I either looked like a very small assassin or some sort of vigilante. I decided not to complain because they fit really well and seemed to be tailor-made for me.

[ Just how long ago did they plan this trip? ]

There was a knock at the door. Ki had answered it to find my mother standing there. In her hands she held a small box. She also carried with her a sad expression. Mother looked me up and down before walking up to me and hugging me tightly. I swayed from side to side as she seemed to want to squish me into a ball.

" My son, your father didn't want to see you off, he was too heartbroken! My small little guy is going on his first adventure, I am so proud! Please be safe and come home. I know you have Ki and Ren with you but I still worry! Ahhh you're getting too big to hold! Soon you will tower over me and I know that my work will be done" She half sobs and half sighs.

[ Oh Mother... ]

I thought back to how my previous mother was, cold and detached treating me like any other stranger on the street. I remembered that when I went to visit her after uni she would barely say two words to me before she would find an excuse for me to leave.

[ I ...]

Tears started trickling down my face. First, it was just one or two but then they came out in a flood. I held my new mother close to me. My heart filling with a warmth I had never felt before. I was both jealous of the previous Yuki and thankful to him for giving me the love of a family I never thought I'd have.

I felt selfish and also very lucky.

My mother seemed shocked for a moment before she held me tighter in her arms. I started to settle down after a few minutes.

" I know your scared son but mother is here, mother will always be here" She whispered in my ear.

" Mmm Thank you for everything... Mother" I said, calling her mother for the first time honestly. I let my body go soft in her arms and smiled as I buried my head into her shoulder. The smell of sweet-smelling hair wafting into my nostrils.

She pushed me back a little after a while and handed me the box she still held in her had. Since she had been holding me tightly the corners of the box had been imprinted in her hand. I had put the box down for a moment before stoking her hand slightly.
