It was a peaceful day during the weekend. Mei finally got recovered from her injuries and got out of the hospital
"Yay! Mei is finally coming home!" Yuzu said and hugged Mei
"Y-yuzu careful..." Mei said and trembled
"O-oh I'm sorry" Yuzu said pulling away and blushed
"Thank you so much" Mei said bowing down in front of Lady Liana
"It was nothing. Now please take care" Lady Liana said
"Thank you and have a wonderful day" Ume said. The Aihara family walked out of the hospital and headed to their place
"Hey Mei want to hang out with the gang?" Yuzu asked
"Now?'" Mei asked
"Yeah! And don't worry it's training day" Yuzu said
"Why do you need to train? Haven't you mastered your powers already?" Mei asked
"Well yeah but sometimes it's fun to use my power but I can't use it in places where I can burn things down and harm people..." Yuzu said
"Fine. I'll go since I haven't been out for a while now..." Mei said
"Hehe okay. I'll tell mom where we're going" Yuzu said and walked to her mother
"Hey mom can me and Mei go out for a bit?" Yuzu asked
"Sure. Are you heading back to the training place again?" Ume asked
"Yep!" Yuzu said
"Fine but please take care of your little sister" Ume said
"Don't worry mom. I'll be a great big sister" Yuzu said as she smiled brightly and walked back to Mei
"Mom said it's okay" Yuzu said as she smiled. Mei nodded and started putting on some clothes. After getting ready, the two Aihara sisters headed over to Lady Liana's place. There was a couple of shouts coming from the back
Heh...guess they're here for training
"Hey Lady Liana" Yuzu said
"Ah welcome" Lady Liana said and smiled
"Are they in the back?" Yuzu asked
"Yes" Lady Liana said. Yuzu and Mei followed Lady Liana to the back where Matsuri was training and so was Shai. The gang ended up finding out about their powers and Lady Liana decided to help them out by letting them train. Though for Matsuri's training it was more like a punishment than training
"Get back up Mizusawa!" Lady Liana said. Matsuri panted heavily as sweat dripped from her face onto the ground. She was bleeding a bit through her small wounds. She got back up and started to fight again
"Uh Lady Liana don't you think Matsuri's training is a bit too intense for her?" Yuzu asked
"That Mizusawa can handle it. Trust me. I've seen what she is capable of doing" Lady Liana said
"But I think it's a bit unfair for her to fight against Shai..." Yuzu said. Shai shot out ice crystals aiming at Matsuri. Matsuri dodged them all and ran up to Shai. Shai stomped the ground hard and the ice started growing from the ground aiming towards Matsuri. Matsuri growled and lifted her leg breaking the ice then got attacked by Shai again. She fell to the ground and coughed out blood. Shai aimed her hand towards Matsuri shooting ice. Matsuri dodged her attack and trembled
Ugh...my body is sore...fuck...
"Enough!" Lady Liana said and walked up to Matsuri. Matsuri collasped on her knees and trembled
"Rest for a bit" Lady Liana said
"N-no...I don't want to take a break...I can still fight" Matsuri said struggling to get up
"Just sit down" Lady Liana said. Matsuri got to her feet and growled furiously
"I'll k-keep fighting..." Matsuri growled but felt someone touch her
"Just take a rest Matsuri" Harumin said and carried her
"H-hey don't fucking carry me..." Matsuri said as she growled. Harumin only held her closely and walked away
"I-I can walk Taniguchi-senpai" Matsuri said as she blushed
"You could barely walk. Now take a small rest before you reach to your limit..." Harumin said
"I would've been able to keep fighting if you hadn't fucked my ass..." Matsuri mumbled
"I wasn't the one who kept begging to be fucked. You're lucky we were alone" Harumin said and gave her a quick kiss
"Hey Harumin. Hi Matsuri you alright?" Yuzu asked as she looked at her wounds
"Hehe I'm fine. This is nothing" Matsuri said
"Are you sure? I mean you were getting beaten up pretty badly back there" Yuzu said
"Yeah yeah. I'm fine. Stop worrying..." Matsuri said and groaned a bit. Lady Liana sighed and looked at Shai. Shai looked at her hands and groaned
I want Himeko to come back already...
"Shai how have you been?" Lady Liana asked
"I'm good I suppose..." Shai said as she looked down
"Well...I think it's about time you start practicing on what I've told you" Lady Liana said
"H-huh? Seriously? You know I can get out of control..." Shai said
"If anything goes wrong I'll stop it" Lady Liana said. Shai looked at her and nodded. She gulped and walked back in the middle of the battlefield
Alright...just stay calm and try to be in control...everything is going to be okay
Yuzu's eyes glowed and her flames bursted out of her hands aiming towards Shai. Shai's eyes glowed and dodged her flames then created ice crystals that grew from the ground. Yuzu noticed the crystals and dodged them all. She ran up to Shai who stomped the ground hard creating ice crystals and Yuzu dodged it then threw flames towards Shai once again. Shai moved aside but Yuzu aimed towards her again. Shai created an ice wall to try and block the attack. She moved away from the melting wall and stomped the ground hard creating ice crystals from the ground. Yuzu dodged it slightly but got a small wound. Shai's eyes glowed and smiled
"Hahaha...time for the real fight to begin" Shai whispered and ran up to Yuzu. She created ice crystals that grew from the ground. She used them as steps and threw ice towards her. Yuzu chuckled softly and three flames at Shai melting it. Shai jumped off the ice and clenched her fist tightly. She created an ice crystal to land while she threw ice crystals towards Yuzu. Yuzu dodged them and looked over at Shai. Her hand was in flames and punched the ice hard destroying it. Shai's body got covered in ice and landed on the ground
"Let the fun beg-" Lady Liana interrupted the fight as she walked to them
"Shai...I am very disappointed" Lady Liana said. Shai glared at her clenching her fists tightly only earning a hit from Lady Liana from her stick
"No don't you dare look at me like that" Lady Liana said sternly
"Ow! Okay sorry!" Shai said
"Eh? But we were just only getting started" Yuzu said
"You mean she was getting started. Anyways Shai I told you this many times before. You must take control of her and not lose control. The way I saw it during the fight you only allow her to do what she wants by not taking any control" Lady Liana said
"Well how the fuck do you want me to control her?" Shai asked
"That is something you have to find out. If you can't control her then you will only end up harming more people. Do you understand?" Lady Liana said. Shai looked down and nodded only getting a whack on her head
"Ow!" Shai said
"I said do you understand?" Lady Liana said sternly
"I-I understand perfectly ma'am" Shai said. Yuzu only looked at them oddly tilting her head
What the hell is going on?
Yuzu turned around seeing Mei talking to Himeko
"Eh? Momokino-san you're back?" Yuzu asked. Shai's eyes widen hearing Yuzu and looked up. She saw Himeko and her heart skipped a beat
"Himeko-chan!" Shai said and ran up to Himeko
"Shai!" Himeko said and smiled. Shai wrapped her arms around her and cried
"I missed you! Don't leave me ever again!" Shai cried
"Sh-shai calm down. I know I left for the entire week and all but there is no need to cry. I told you I was coming back" Himeko said. Shai only looked at her with teary eyes
"Pl-please don't cry..." Himeko said and stroked her hair softly. Shai held her closely and whimpered like a little puppy
I don't want to lose her!
"Have you been training again?" Himeko asked
"A little..." Shai said and kept holding her. Shai cuddled her and whimpered
"Please let me go" Himeko said
"Nope" Shai said
"Please?" Himeko asked
"Nope. You'll leave me" Shai said
"I won't. I promise" Himeko said
"No" Shai said
"Shai" Himeko said
"No" Shai said
"Shai!" Himeko said
"No!" Shai said. Yuzu and Mei watched which only made Yuzu look at Mei. Mei looked back at her and stepped back
"No...Yuzu. I swear I am going to hit you" Mei said sternly. Yuzu only kept looking at her and had her arms out
"Mei!" Yuzu said cheerfully as she ran up to her
"Yuzu!" Mei said angrily as she held her hand out stopping her from getting close. Yuzu whimpered and went on her knees. She crawled towards Mei and wrapped her arms around her waist
"Yuzu get up. Now" Mei said
"No" Yuzu said
"Yuzu" Mei said
"No" Yuzu said
"Yuzu!" Mei said angrily
"Never!" Yuzu said. Lady Liana just shook her head and sighed
These two Okogis are more than cousins...these are sisters

Back at the Momokino mansion, Celeste and Damon were unpacking their things
"I hope after this trip Himeko starts to realize what is her purpose in life" Damon said
"Damon you shouldn't be so rough on Himeko. She is still young" Celeste said
"But if I don't then she'll still be with that Higashi" Damon said
"Maybe she is nice" Celeste said
"Oh come on Celeste. That girl is the daughter of the psychopath. She looks like him and acts like him. I bet she is crazy as him" Damon said
"Can you stop?" Celeste asked harshly
"Here we go again" Damon said
"No don't you dare blame this on me. You're the one who starts off saying that Shai is like her father and all the sudden you start talking about me and Shailung in the past" Celeste said
"But I wasn't!" Damon said
"But you were about to! And don't deny it because I know!" Celeste said. Damon just glared at her and shook his head
"You keep clinging onto him Celeste" Damon said
"You still don't believe me? Just like you didn't believe me that Himeko is your daughter" Celeste said
"I had to make sure. Besides you were fucking with some crazy bastard" Damon said
"I wasn't fucking around with him. I was helping him. It's you that doesn't understand at all. You know not everyone has happy lives. Some have gone through tough times and Shailung has been through so much" Celeste said
"Do you care about him or me? You know very well he was trying to kill me. Maybe his daughter is only getting closer to Himeko so she could kill me" Damon said
"Stop comparing Shai to her father. They may look alike but Shai is different. Besides you've seen the way Himeko smiles whenever Shai comes over. She is happy and...we should allow her to be happy" Celeste said
"We? More like you. You know very well what your parents said. Himeko has to break up with that Higashi. You know what her future is and she better do it" Damon said
"Maybe it's time for a change..." Celeste said
"What? A change?" Damon asked
"I am going to all Himeko to do what she wants. I don't want to ruin her happiness and let her live a sad life with someone who she doesn't even love..." Celeste said
"Like you?" Damon asked. Celeste only sighed deeply and looked out the window
"Yes" Celeste said
"Tck! Nothing I give you makes you happy" Damon said
"Happy? Do you want to know what makes me happy? Having a wonderful family!" Celeste said
"You have a god damn family" Damon said
"Yes but you don't care for me or Himeko!" Celeste said
"I do care!" Damon said
"Do you really!? You weren't there when I gave birth!" Celeste said
"I had business to take care of!" Damon said
"So business is more important than your daughter?" Celeste asked
"Th-that's not what I meant!" Damon said
"Oh but no if it were a boy then you'd definitely arrived! You rejected Himeko when she was little all because she was a girl!" Celeste said
"But I got over it!" Damon said
"But you weren't there during her childhood! You were out there somewhere doing business!" Celeste said
"Whatever...I am not going to argue about this" Damon said as he was walking out the door
"Don't worry you won't argue with me anymore. We're done!" Celeste said and slammed the door shut
"Wait! Celeste what the hell?!" Damon exclaimed. Celeste only sighed and sat down on the couch. She looked down and saw Pucchi walking up to her. She smiled and carried the little dog
"I am only doing this for Himeko. She deserves a better life than getting stuck with some bastard who doesn't even care for his family" Celeste said
