My Little Cutie

Chapter 38

"Wh-what? My mother...is alive?" Matsuri asked
"Yes...you heard me" Lady Liana said
"B-but...how? Or why now!? After all these god damn years!" Matsuri exclaimed
"Matsuri please calm down" Lady Liana said
"Calm down?! Why should I?!" Matsuri exclaimed
"You'll end up releasing your powers!" Lady Liana said as she grabbed her arm. Matsuri trembled and teared up
"Wh-why? Why now? Why did she abandon me?" Matsuri asked as her legs trembled. Lady Liana held her and sighed
"More importantly...why did you keep it a secret? If you knew the truth...then why tell me now?" Matsuri asked
"If I told you back then your father would've gone berserk..." Lady Liana said
"Berserk? Don't you think he already has?" Matsuri asked as she glared at her and got out of her grip
"Where is she?" Matsuri asked
"That is something I don't know. If you want to know more...there is someone you could talk to. The only person who knew her so well..." Lady Liana said and pulled out a picture
"Is this a trick or some shit?" Matsuri asked
"Aren't you going to take it?" Lady Liana asked. Matsuri reached up to the picture and grabbed it. She looked at it and her eyes widen seeing two girls in the picture smoking. One of them had long black hair and the other girl was taller than her but had short auburn hair
Wh-what? This...w-was my mother?
"I'm not surprised seeing her smoking...but may I ask who the hell is that person next to her? The one with short hair" Matsuri asked
"Soha Taniguchi. Harumin's and Mitsuko's mother" Lady Liana said
"Wait...my mother and their mother...were friends?" Matsuri asked
"I'm not sure. That's why you'll be asking her yourself for answers" Lady Liana said
"How did you get this image?" Matsuri asked
"Soha came by one day and it was after your mother's 'death'. She handed me something to keep safe and tell no one. I didn't understood why at first until I opened it and realized what she left inside" Lady Liana said
"And what was inside the box?" Matsuri asked. Lady Liana held out a box and handed it to her. Matsuri grabbed the box and opened it. Her eyes widen seeing matching rings and pictures. Most of the pictures were Jinah and Soha together
What the? Were they dating or some shit? What the hell is this? Also...I never knew Harumin's mother would be hot. Guess that's where they both got their traits from..but what's bugging me is that in these pictures her mother is smoking. She is even drinking...but now that I remember that family portrait. She looked nicer and sweeter...she even has Harumin's haircut...guess she changed...
"So...you want me to go and look for her at the mansion?" Matsuri asked
"Yes...that's where you'll get most of your answers" Lady Liana said
"I see...well thanks I guess but...do you know where my mother is?" Matsuri asked
"No...your mother keeps moving from place to place. It's hard to keep up..." Lady Liana said
"Heh...so my mother was alive this whole fucking time. All these years...I spent it in pain and torture...now all the sudden she's alive? What the fuck..." Matsuri mumbled as she looked down at the box
"Forgive me Matsuri..." Lady Liana whispered patting her head softly and walked away.
"Wait...there is something else I must ask you" Matsuri said
"Hm? What is it?" Lady Liana asked
"Back there when I lost control...what happened to me?" Matsuri asked. Lady Liana looked at her and looked away
"There is only one explanation...you have another power" Lady Liana said and left.
Wh-what!? Another power? M-me? Born with another power other than that?
Matsuri clenched the box tightly and walked back inside the room. Mei looked at Matsuri and noticed her expression
"Hey Matsuri...what happened? And...what's that box?" Mei asked. Matsuri only walked up to her sitting down on the chair then put the box down on the floor
"Hehe...my mother is alive" Matsuri said as she still looked down
"Wh-what? Your mother is alive? But...didn't she die while she gave birth?" Mei asked
"Yeah...that's what I thought but look" Matsuri said picking up the box and opened it. She pulled out a picture of her young mother next to Harumin's young mother. Mei's eyes widen and held the picture
"I never knew Mrs. Taniguchi acted like this in her teenage life. Your mother looks a lot like you. Even Harumin looks like her mother" Mei said
"Yeah..." Matsuri said
"Was your mother friends with her?" Mei asked
"I think she was more than just friends..." Matsuri said as she pulled out two matching rings
"What do you think happened to them?" Mei asked
"I am not so sure but...I have to ask Mitsuko or Harumin to take me to their place. I must know about my mother..." Matsuri said
"Well good luck..." Mei said handing her back the picture. Matsuri put the picture back and put the box down
"Also...I might have another power" Matsuri said
"Another power? What do you mean?" Mei asked
"While you were taken away...I sorta felt odd and suddenly attacked everything that moved. I didn't know what happened to me and when I asked Lady Liana she said that it could be another power that I have..." Matsuri said
"Isn't that good? You always complain about your other power" Mei said
"Hehe yeah..." Matsuri said and looked up at the ceiling.
"Hey Mei...should I forgive Harumin?" Matsuri asked
"Why are you asking me? You should follow your heart and decide whether or not you want to forgive her and be back with her..." Mei said
"Will you forgive Yuzu?" Matsuri asked
"After a few punishments..." Mei said
"Ooooh Mei-san I never knew you had a kinky side" Matsuri said
"Not that kind of punishment..." Mei said
"Awww so no Fifty Shades of Grey?" Matsuri asked
"Of course not...I'm not sure Yuzu enjoys stuff like that" Mei said
"Oh! So you do admit that you enjoy stuff like that!" Matsuri said
"I-I never said such thing..." Mei said as she looked away and blushed
"Haha! So you do enjoy stuff like that!" Matsuri said
"Shut up" Mei said as she looked at her
"Hey we can go to a sex store one day and buy a few things" Matsuri said
"No" Mei said
"Awww why not?" Matsuri asked
"I am not into stuff like that" Mei said
"Then why did you say you'll punish Yuzu-chan?" Matsuri asked
"I meant that l won't let Yuzu touch or kiss me for a week" Mei said
"Oh so you two won't fuck for a week. Hmm? Sounds like a good punishment" Matsuri said and giggled. Mei sighed deeply and closed her eyes
I just want Yuzu back right now...

Afternoon came and the students from the Academy started walking out of the Academy heading home
"Hurry we have to get to Meimei" Himeko said
"Yeah yeah I'm coming. Are you coming Harumin?" Yuzu asked
"Yes" Harumin said but felt someone touch her shoulder
"I'm sorry but you can't today. Our parents came back and our grandparents came for a visit so our mother will prepare dinner since we'll be having dinner with them" Mitsuko said
"Seriously? Do I have to go?" Harumin asked
"Of course" Mitsuko said
"Oh...I guess I can't go visit Matsuri. Hey Yuzucchi mind telling Matsuri I couldn't go see her?" Harumin asked
"Sure. Have fun with your family" Yuzu said
"Well...goodbye" Harumin said as she smiled. Yuzu smiled back at her and they left heading inside the Higashi's car. The gang were taken to the hospital and Yuzu immediately got out of the car. She ran inside the building and headed to Mei's room
I want to see Mei!
She pass by the nurses and headed to her room. She opened it seeing Mei was awake and laying down on the bed
"Y-yuzu?" Mei asked
"Mei..." Yuzu said as she teared up. She walked up to Mei and bursted into tears
"Yuzu...please don't cry" Mei said as she held her hand
"B-but if I hadn't left...y-you wouldn't get hurt..." Yuzu said and cried. Mei looked at her and lifted her hand up to touch her cheek. Yuzu held her hand that was on her cheek and cried
"I-I'm sorry Mei...I-I did something horrible" Yuzu cried as she didn't know how to explain the situation with Harumin. Mei felt her heart shatter seeing how broken Yuzu was
I-I can't see her like this...
"I know..." Mei said
"I'm extremely s-sorry Mei..." Yuzu cried. Mei cupped both of her cheeks and pulled her closer towards her
"It's okay Yuzu. I forgive you...for now" Mei whispered and kissed her softly. Yuzu whimpered and kissed her back softly. Yuzu pulled away and stared at her
"I-I love you Mei...I'm so sorry for what I've done. I shouldn't have left you like that! I promise I'll be a better girlfriend!" Yuzu cried
"Yuzu please calm down..." Mei said caressing her cheek softly. Yuzu hugged Mei and whimpered. There was a knock on the door and Himeko walked in
"S-sorry for interrupting..." Himeko said
"It's okay Himeko" Mei said. Yuzu sniffed and wiped her tears
"Hehe i-it's fine" Yuzu said as she stepped back from the bed allowing Himeko to walk up to Mei
"Meimei! I'm sorry for what happened! I should've stayed behind and helped you out!" Himeko said as she bursted into tears
"Himeko please don't blame yourself. Also I should be the one apologizing for that day. I didn't mean-"
"No Meimei! That day was my fault! I wasn't listening to you and I should've just left you alone...I now understand that...Aihara-san really cares about you and loves you" Himeko said as she started to calm down. Mei reached up to her hand and held it
"But I'm still sorry Himeko. I shouldn't have yelled at you or tried to hurt you...friends don't hurt each other they care for one another and support each other" Mei said. Himeko only teared up again and hugged Mei
"Meimei I love you! You are my bestest friend!" Himeko said as she cried
"I-I love you too Himeko and m-mind not hugging me to tight? I-I'm still recovering" Mei said
"O-oh I'm so sorry!" Himeko said pulling away. Shai stood at the door and she watched how Himeko was acting around Mei
Wow...so they really are besties...
Shai felt a sharp pain in her chest and trembled
Wh-what the hell? What is th-this feeling?
Yuzu looked at Shai and walked up to her
"Shai? Are you okay?" Yuzu asked
"Y-yes hehe I-I'm fine" Shai said
"But you're looking a bit sick. Did something happen?" Yuzu asked
"I-I think I need air.." Shai said getting out of the room trembling. She looked around feeling dizzy that she wobbled a bit
"Shai are you okay? Is something wrong?" Yuzu asked
"N-no Yuzu calm down...I-I'm fine" Shai said and tried walking but she kept losing her balance. Shai looked at Yuzu who started talking to her but all Shai could hear was faded voices
H-huh? What? I-I can't hear a-anything...everything f-feels...n-numb wierd...wh-what's going on?
Shai looked around and saw the nurses grab her carrying into a bed. Yuzu was left behind and Shai kept staring at everyone. Suddenly everyone started turning into a shadow which freaked Shai out
Wh-what the hell?!
Shai was left in a dark empty room and trembled in fear
What's going on!?
Shai opened her mouth to speak but nothing came out. Tears started rolling down her cheeks and started crying. Suddenly she someone walking up to her with a knife. She cried and shut her eyes tightly
"Shai! Shai!" She heard a voice and opened her eyes
"H-himeko?" Shai asked and everything turned back to normal. She gasped and looked around seeing Yuzu and Himeko
I-I'm not hallucinating? Everything s-seems normal...
"Shai are you-" Shai hugged Himeko tightly and trembled. Himeko hugged her back stroking her hair softly
"Shhhh calm down...I'm here" Himeko whispered
"D-don't ever let me go...please..." Shai whispered as tears rolled down her cheeks. Himeko held her tightly and smiled a bit
"I will never let you go...I promise" Himeko whispered back
