Prohibited Love

Chapter 16

"Answer me" Mitsuko said
"U-uhm...uh...th-that uhm...n-no" Yuzu mumbled
"Don't make me repeat myself again. Do you know Matsuri Mizusawa?" Mitsuko asked
"U-uhm sis?" Harumin asked
"Shut up Harumi. I'm speaking to her. Not you" Mitsuko said as she gave her a glare. Yuzu's body trembled and stepped back
Wh-what should I do now? A-and how...does she know M-matsuri's name?
"Answer me god damnit before I fucking kill you" Mitsuko growled
"U-uhm...I-I don't-"
"S-sis stop it. You shouldn't t-talk to her like that" Harumin said slightly nervous
I-I've never seen her this mad before...
"You don't want your little secret out right?" Mitsuko asked
"Wh-what?" Yuzu asked
Secret?
"What will everyone think once they find out that you're secretly...one of them?" Mitsuko asked and smirked
"O-one of them?" Yuzu asked and froze
Wait...is she talking about...v-vampires? Oh no...h-how did she f-find out?!
"Sis can't you see you're making her uncomfortable?" Harumin said
"This is none of your business. Now talk. I don't have all day" Mitsuko said
"Y-you see I-woah!" Yuzu exclaimed as someone grabbed her taking her away but Mitsuko's eyes glowed and pulled her sword that she carried
"Don't you dare!" Mitsuko shouted as she swung her sword and pinned the person on the floor
"M-matsuri! Are you okay?" Yuzu asked concerned. Mitsuko's eyes widen and gritted her teeth
Why....why...
Matsuri panted heavily and groaned softly. She looked up and trembled seeing her little girl as a teenager
O-oh shit...sh-she's Mitsuko?
"A-ah! A vampire!" Harumin exclaimed as she wanted to run away but Mitsuko grabbed her arm tightly
"Harumi shut the fuck up and be quiet" Mitsuko whispered
"O-okay. Sorry sis..." Harumin said as she nodded
"Sh-she isn't a bad vampire! S-so let her go! Please!" Yuzu said and her hand set itself on fire
"You must be a special kind of half vampire..." Mitsuko said
"W-wait...you're also a v-vampire?" Harumin asked as she looked at her surprise
"J-just let Matsuri go. She didn't do anything wrong. She just wanted to help me find Shai" Yuzu said and trembled a bit
"I-idiot...don't do anything. So stop using your power" Matsuri said
"B-but-"
"Listen to me. Nothing bad will happen. Besides...I know this kid" Matsuri said
"Kid?" Mitsuko asked and pressed the sword against her chest
"Ugh...I-I mean this young girl" Matsuri said and laughed nervously
Oh shit...I'm terrified. She is going to kill me...
"You have so much explaining to do..." Mitsuko said as she removed the sword. Matsuri sighed in relief and sat up
"L-look I don't have time to talk. I-I just came by to-" Matsuri didn't finish her sentence since she recieved a hit on the back of her head which knocked her out completely
"Wh-what did you do!? Yuzu exclaimed as she panicked
"Knocked her out" Mitsuko said putting her sword back
"What? H-how?" Yuzu asked
How did she do that with one hit?
"Now leave" Mitsuko said and carried Matsuri in her arms. Mitsuko couldn't help but smile a little as she blushed
She's small...heh...how cute. Now I'm the one taking care of Onee-chan
"W-wait! What are you doing with Matsuri?!" Yuzu exclaimed
"Shut up. Now leave and go find your cousin with Harumi" Mitsuko said as she walked away
"D-don't hurt her!" Yuzu said as she grabbed Mitsuko's arm. Mitsuko turned her head slightly giving her a death glare
"I'm her first. So fuck off and don't get near her ever again" Mitsuko said coldly and sternly. Yuzu flinched as she trembled
Wh-what's wrong with her?
"Either you go look for your cousin or I just call the guards and throw you into the dungeon" Mitsuko said. Yuzu looked down as she stayed quiet
"Good. Now go..." Mitsuko said and walked away with Matsuri in her arms. Harumin trembled slightly since she's never seen her sister mad before or speak with that tone
Sh-she is really mad...
"U-uhm...Yuzu?" Harumin asked
"S-sorry Harumin..." Yuzu said
"S-so...you really are a vampire?" Harumin asked slightly nervous
"Y-yeah but don't worry. I-I mean no harm. I just want to get to my cousin" Yuzu said
"You don't attack h-humans?" Harumin asked
"N-no of course not! I-I am not like those monsters a-and Matsuri isn't like that either. She is a hero and has saved many vampires who are taken away from their families" Yuzu said
"Oh that vampire...w-well I don't think you should worry about her. My sister is really nice and sweet once you get to know her" Harumin said
"That's your sister? You two don't look nothing alike" Yuzu said
"Yeah I know but we really are sisters. She just looks more like dad and I look more like my mom" Harumin said
"Oh I understand" Yuzu said
"So...are we going to see your cousin?" Harumin asked
"Right! Will you help me?" Yuzu asked
"Sure. Let's go but we have to be quiet" Harumin said
"Okay" Yuzu said and followed Harumin
I still don't trust her...she better not do anything to her
"And is your sister always like that?" Yuzu asked
"No. Not really. She is usually quiet and always gets her work done" Harumin said
"Oh okay. So where are we going?" Yuzu asked
"My father always gets these boring meetings with the other kingdoms. So the princesses go to a room where we can all relax and not listen to boring adults talk all day" Harumin said and took Yuzu to the room. Yuzu looked around the castle and stopped by a door
"In here?" Yuzu asked
"Yeah. They should be in here" Harumin said and opened the door. Shai was standing up beside Himeko who was sitting down while Mei was sitting on a couch reading a book. Himeko looked up and gasped
"Hey! Wh-what are you doing here?" Himeko asked as she glared at her
"Y-yuzu? How did you get in here?" Shai asked
"Hi Shai. I came here with Matsuri's help and Harumin helped me too" Yuzu said as she smiled
"Don't talk to her" Himeko growled
"S-sorry..." Shai said as she looked down
"Don't treat my cousin like that" Yuzu said glaring at her
"I can treat her however I want. I get whatever I want. So please leave. Now tea please" Himeko said
"Yes princess" Shai said as she served her tea while wearing a suit
"What are you wearing?" Yuzu asked
"Uh...something that a prince wears I guess?" Shai said
"She is my prince charming so please don't talk to her anymore and leave us alone" Himeko said and took a sip of her tea
"Shai this is crazy. Why did you even accept doing this?" Yuzu asked
"Nothing is going on Yuzu. No need to worry about me. I'm fine. See? You know I am only doing this for you and Auntie. She won't have to work so hard anymore. You know how tired she gets after working but if I do this then we'll be able to live a great life" Shai said as she smiled
Besides...she's done so much for me. It's my turn to pay her back for everything
"Do you want to get on your knees and beg like a dog?" Himeko asked with a slight stern tone
"N-no princess. Forgive me princess" Shai said and held her hand softly planting a soft kiss on the back of her hand
Th-this is a little embarrassing...
"Apologies accepted" Himeko said as she blushed a little
So cute...she is perfect. Everyone will be so jealous back at the kingdom
"What the heck? Does she do this to other people?" Yuzu asked in a whisper tone while leaning towards Harumin
"Uh...she always acts spoiled and enjoys to make others suffer. I've never seen her like this though..." Harumin whispered back
"Can you please leave us alone?" Himeko asked
"I'm not leaving you with my cousin. I'm staying with my cousin" Yuzu said
"Want me to call my guards and throw you in the dungeon peasant? Where you belong..." Himeko said as she giggled
"I'm not a peasant you spoiled brat!" Yuzu said
"Don't call me that!" Himeko said as she stood up from her seat
"Y-yuzu please do-"
"I can call you whatever I want! You treat others like trash but you're the real trash! No wonder you can't find a prince charming because no one will ever like you! Trashy spoiled brat!" Yuzu shouted. Himeko gritted her teeth as tears built up in her eyes
"Shut up! All of you shut your mouth" The Aihara said sternly and closed her book shut which made the girls jump
"S-sorry Meimei..." Himeko whimpered. The Aihara put the book down and looked up at the blonde girl
"Hey Taniguchi-san...who is this friend of yours?" Mei asked
"U-uhm...she's Yuzu and she wanted to come look for her cousin. I just...wanted to help her" Harumin said
"Well you saw your cousin. She is fine and in safe hands. Now leave. You're giving me a headache" Mei said
"I'm not leaving. I don't care if you two princesses want me gone. I am not leaving my cousin alone" Yuzu said
"Fine..." Mei said as she stood up and put her book aside. She walked up to Yuzu and glared at her
"I'm Mei Aihara and now you're my peasant" Mei said
"Wh-what!?" Yuzu exclaimed
Her peasant!?

Knock knock
"Micchan? Are you in there?" Maruta asked as she knocked on the door. Mitsuko walked to the door and opened it
"Hey Maruta. Something wrong?" Mitsuko asked
"I-I was looking for you" Maruta said
"What for? Does my father need anything?" Mitsuko asked
"N-no. I just thought we could spend the time together. I'm done with my lessons and if you're free we can go out for a small walk. W-well if you want to..." Maruta said as she blushed a little
"Sure. I would like that" Mitsuko said as she smiled a little at her
"That's great" Maruta said giving her a smile
"Let me just do something real quick then we can go" Mitsuko said and closed the door. She sighed and walked to her closet. She stepped inside and walked towards a secret door at the end of the closet. Mitsuko held the key and locked the door. A smile formed on her lips and leaned against the door
"I'll be back Onee-chan. You're safe with me now and...we can play again like the old times. I've missed you so much. You don't know how much I've suffered but...everything is okay now. You're back and this time...we'll be together forever. Our hearts will finally be reunited" Mitsuko said and stepped away from the door. She stepped out of her closet and closed it. Mitsuko kept the key and hid it in her drawer
"I'm ready" Mitsuko said as she opened the door
"Okay" Maruta said and walked with Mitsuko. Mitsuko and Maruta walked through the castle and went for the entrance walking pass the meeting room
"Hey Micchan. Would you like to go somewhere instead of watching those monsters fight?" Maruta asked
"Hm? You mean tonight?" Mitsuko asked
"Yes. I mean if you don't mind. You've always looked forward to those fights and I kno-"
"Sorry" Mitsuko said
"What?" Maruta asked
"I'll be busy tonight and I won't be watching the fight" Mitsuko said
"Wait what will you be doing tonight?" Maruta asked. Mitsuko's cheeks started to burn up slightly and smiled a little
"Do you remember when we were kids...and I always talked about this vampire?" Mitsuko asked
"Oh you mean the vampire that saved you?" Maruta asked
"Yes...she's back" Mitsuko said
"Wait what? She's back?" Maruta asked
"Yes and now we're back together again" Mitsuko said
"Does she remember you?" Maruta asked
"I hope so..." Mitsuko said and clenched her chest tightly feeling her heartache. Maruta noticed her expression and touched her shoulder
"Hey Mitsuko. I'm still here for you if you need to talk" Maruta said
"Thank you Maruta. For everything. You're a great friend" Mitsuko said
"Hehe I'm glad I have a friend like you Micchan" Maruta said as she smiled
Friend...yes. We are...just friends...
