"Shai...baby...I know what I did was wrong but please hear me out" Diane said. Shai just closed the door behind her and glared at Diane
"There is nothing to talk about anymore! I don't want to hear your damn excuses! Just leave me alone already okay!? I don't want to be with a slut like you!" Shai said
"Shai please listen! It wasn't my fault! I was drunk!" Diane said
"Shut up! I don't care if you were drunk or not but I told you many times to not fucking drink or smoke but you keep doing that! Just leave me alone Diane..." Shai said
"B-but...you're leaving right?" Diane asked
"Yes...I am" Shai said
"Then please...j-just give me another chance. Please...I beg you" Diane said as she went on her knees. Shai just glared at her and looked away
"No. I've already told you this and I've had enough of repeating myself. Leave me alone and don't contact me or look for me. We are done. It's over. You are dead to me...so just leave me and go fuck with your bitch" Shai said
"Sh-shai...please..." Diane mumbled and cried
"Stop crying you fucking bitch..." Shai hissed and opened the door. She walked inside the mansion and looked at the man
"Get rid of the bitch..." Shai said sternly
"Yes ma'am" The man said as he walked out of the house then dealed with Diane
"Shai! I won't give up on you! You will be mine again!" Diane shouted. Shai just sighed deeply and looked down for a moment
"You finally got rid of that slut?" Her grandmother asked
"Yes..." Shai said as she looked down
"Good. We'll have everything ready in a couple of minutes" Her grandmother said. Shai just walked upstairs heading to her room
"Hey...Okogi" Taher said sternly. Shai stopped and turned around to glare at him. Taher glared back at her and gritted his teeth. Taher was the oldest brother and he was about to be the next heir since his older brother died. Shailung's stepbrother ended up having three but sadly...the oldest ended up passing away by some disease. It was the same disease that Shailung's stepbrother ended up having that killed him. Taher was going to be the next heir but he lost the position to Shai who ended becoming the favorite in the family. Shai never really cared that she was the favorite of the family. All she ever cared was...her father. After being abandoned by her mother she didn't know what else to do. She only had Yuzu to cling onto and be with until she met her grandmother. Shai never really got to know more about the Okogi family. She sometimes wondered if she had a grandmother out there who will treat her with respect and accept her the way she was...unlike her Higashi grandmother
"What do you want...Higashi?" Shai asked. Taher glared at her and lifted his hand as a spark appeared
"You and I...at the training room. Now..." Taher said sternly. Shai just glared at him and nodded
"If that is what you want..." Shai said. Taher walked to the room followed by Shai. There was a reason Shai worked out. Because of her powers. She knew she wasn't the only one in this world to have these types of powers. She knew that Yuzu had them because it came from the Okogi side of the family. In this world there were people born with special powers but secretly hid them. People born with these powers were special for some reason. Shai's powers didn't come from the Okogi side. It came from the Higashi. Her father's powers. Shai never really cared if she had powers but what she did like is that she could kill whoever she wanted. Taher and Shai arrived at the training room and prepared themselves
"Sometimes I wonder...why grandmother chose you instead of me. My brother...always told me to be strong and that one day everything will be mine not until you came along. Ever since you came into this family...everything you wanted ended up becoming yours. You were even born with powers that no one else could have. The way grandmother admires you and loves you is something I should be having. My father worked very hard and trained us hard....he taught us everything until the day he died. I was prepared to become a Higashi and make this family proud. So was my brother...until he passed away. My brother...was very important to me. He was always there for me...and always took care of me. He was always there by side and cheered me up..." Taher said and turned around to glare at Shai
"Do you even understand what a family is? I mean...your father died in a pathetic way and your mother abandoned you. Maybe because you're useless and there is no reason for you to be living in this world. Besides you don't care about the Higashi family. You are just using grandmother to pay for things and be living the rich life" Taher said
"You're wrong. I do have someone by my side. My very own cousin who is like my big sister...I will be seeing her again. You are right about something...I don't want to be part of the Higashi family and I am using grandmother. So what? It's not like grandmother ever paid any attention to you. You know very well the way she acts around you and your brother. Maybe she killed your brother..." Shai said
"Shut up you bitch and come at me. You don't deserve to be part of the Higashi family. You filthy Okogi..." Taher said. Shai's eyes glowed and ran up to him. Taher blocked her attack but Shai froze his legs. She kicked his chest hard knocking him down. Taher stood back up and used his super speed dodging all the crystals. Shai just stomped the ground hard making the floor completely ice. Taher stopped and tried his best to keep his balance. Shai ran up to him then grabbed his shirt lifting his body then slamming on the hard ice floor hard
"No one...is going to push me to the ground. No one..." Shai growled. Taher just coughed and looked at Shai
"I still don't get...why someone like you got chosen...and even...got born with special powers that no one could ever be born with" Taher said and coughed. Shai released him and got rid of the ice. She walked to the doors and stopped
"I'm not the only one born with these kinds of powers...there is someone else who has these types of powers but way more different and...much stronger than me" Shai said and walked out of the room. She sighed deeply as she fixed her hair up
That was way too quick...I thought it would last longer. What a fucking asshole...it's not my fault his brother died and I ended up becoming the favorite
"Shai...time to get going" Her grandmother said
"Yes grandmother" Shai said. After the bags were ready and Shai's pets were set, Shai and her grandmother headed to the airport. Shai looked outside the car window and clenched her fists tightly
I wonder if...Yuzu is still the same girl

Mei was with Sara who ended up moving to her city to be closer to Mei. Mei was sitting on the couch at the Tachibana's place
"Thanks for inviting me to dinner Sara" Mei said
"No problem Mei. I hope you enjoyed dinner" Sara said as she smiled. Mei looked at her and nodded still keeping her calm expression. She looked at the clock and stood up from the couch
"I better get going before I worry my mother" Mei said
"Okay Mei and mind saying hi to Yuzu for me?" Sara asked
"Me too! It was very great to see you" Nina said as she smiled brightly
"Sure" Mei said
"Wait Mei. You're forgetting something" Sara said as she walked up to her
"Hm? I am?" Mei asked
"Yes silly. A kiss" Sara said pointing at her lips. Mei closed her eyes and leaned in giving her a small kiss on her lips
"Have a good night. You too Tachibana-san" Mei said and bowed down
"Thanks Mei" Nina said
"Bye Mei. Love you" Sara said. Mei walked out of the house and felt the cold breeze hit her face. She walked down the streets and headed back to her apartment. Meanwhile at the Aihara apartment, Yuzu finished up eating dinner with her mother and started washing the dishes. She looked at the clock and looked down for a moment
It's sorta late for Mei to be out...where the hell did they go this time?
"Thanks Yuzu for washing the dishes. I really hope Mei-san comes home soon" Ume said as she started to worry. Yuzu just kept washing the dishes and finished up. She dried her hands and decided to take a bath. She got the water ready and stripped herself naked. She stepped into the tub and sat down on the warm water. She relaxed her body and sighed deeply
Mei...why are you with her? Don't you know...how much I love you? It hurts me to see you with her...I should be happy but I'm just so jealous that I-
Yuzu gasped as she realized she was warming up the water even more
Shit...my powers. I forgot I have to control myself...
Yuzu turned on the cold water trying to cool herself down before the flames were activated. After her bath, Yuzu got out of the tub and grabbed her towel. She drives her body and her hair then put her pajamas on. She brushed her teeth and got out of the bathroom. She sat down on the bed and set her alarm. Suddenly her phone vibrated getting a message and gasped
Sh-shai?! It's Shai! Shai!
"Yaaaay!" Yuzu cheered and ran out of the room jumping around
"Woah Yuzu. What happened?" Ume asked
"Shai sent a message! It's Shai! It is her! Yay! I get to see her!" Yuzu shouted and jumped around excitedly
"I'm home" Mei said as she walked in the apartment. Yuzu stopped and turned around to look at Mei
"Ah Mei-chan! Welcome home. Where were you? I was worried sick!" Ume said walking up to her
"Sorry for worrying you mother. Sara invited me over for dinner" Mei said
"Oh that's okay. She must be really nice. Now why don't you go take a bath and head to bed" Ume said as she smiled
"Yes mother" Mei said and walked pass Yuzu. Yuzu just ignored her and walked to her mother
"Mama can I stay at her place tomorrow? Please! I really want to see her again and be with her!" Yuzu said
"Of course Yuzu" Ume said and giggled
"Yes! I might even invite Matsuri. She's going to be so happy when she finds out she's back. Ooooh! I can't wait! Is she going to be at the Academy tomorrow?" Yuzu asked
"Yes Yuzu" Ume said
"Yaaay! The gang will be back together! I wonder if she's changed" Yuzu said
"Well I think it's time to head to bed so you can wake up early this time" Ume said and patted her head softly
"Yes mama. Love you! Night!" Yuzu said as she kissed her mother's cheek
"Night Yuzu" Ume said kissing her forehead softly. Yuzu walked back to her room where Mei was stripping herself. Yuzu just blushed a bit but headed to the bed and sat down. She smiled and sent a message to Shai
"Hey Mei. Since you're the Chairman's granddaughter...do you know a girl transfering to the Academy?" Yuzu asked
"Yes. There is a girl named Shai Higashi" Mei said
"Yes! So it is true! Oh I can't wait to see her. It's been forever since the last time we've seen each other..." Yuzu said and smiled brightly. Mei noticed her expression and couldn't help but feel a bit...upset for some reason. She just ignored it and walked to the bathroom. She turned on the tub and filled it with water. She stepped into the tub and sat down. She sighed deeply as she relaxed her body from all the work. She stared at the ceiling and remembered Yuzu being excited about this girl transfering to the Academy. She felt upset again and let out a sigh
Who the hell is that girl to Yuzu? I know we met before at those small reunions...but how does Yuzu know her? Even that stupid Mizusawa brat must know her since Yuzu mentioned her. Yuzu will be staying at her place tomorrow....
Mei looked down at the tub and clenched her chest tightly
Why am I feeling this way? Something is wrong with me...
