A Past Love Or An Agreement

Chapter 5: Our Daughter?

I don't know how much time has passed I must have dozed off while laying on the cold floor. The door open seeing Mimic being very excited and edgar about something. He encouraged me to take a bath for there was someone he desperately wanted me to meet. I rub my eyes out of exhaustion of crying the thought of a cold shoulder would be refreshing. 'Mimic I don't suppose you have some spare clothes to give me?', I question. He handed me a few essentials and a few choice of clothes for me to wear. He said he was so happy to have found out I was coming back to Shin Hassasikai clan he had done the shopping for me.
I thanked him as I stood up being escorted to the bathroom, he promised to stand outside so the others would not enter. After throughly cleaning myself for any smell of blood or bad body odor I scattered thought the clothing Mimic gave me. Knowing how cold this place can be I place a black turtle neck with long sleeve and blue jeans along with some socks to hide the bandages. When I stood out of the bathroom Mimic compliment how lovely they fit then follow him to what seem to me a living room or a common room. There were more than what I expected a small group of the Shin Hassasikai clan.

'Allow me to introduce you to Hari Kurono the boss most trusted member', saying in a respecting manner. He pulled me to a sofa and sat me down introducing me to everyone and learning of their quirks. They looked at me with fascination how a girl like me can be the fiance of the most power man no less their leader. I notice in Kurono arms was a little girl having white hair, ruby red eyes, and in the corner of her head a little horn she look nervous to see a stranger here.
'Eri? Would you like to say hello to our new member?', Mimic ask as Kurono gently place her down on the ground all she could do is hold onto Kurono leg for safety. I didn't want her to be afraid of me or feel in anyway uncomfortable I smiled at her to ensure am harmless.
'It fine. I can understand from her point of view it scary to see someone you don't know. I won't push her to do so', I continue to smile as her shoulder rest a bit. They can see I was being too kind but respected my words for her concern. I held out my hand to her just enough to give her time 'My name is (Y/N) (L/N), it's nice to met you'.
She look down at my hand and gently place her hand over mine. She's so innocent and small to see her having a little trust in me was an improvement.
I suddenly felt a big hand covered in plastic curl around my neck holding my head up hearing 'Am happy to see you've met our daughter', being Overhual looking at our hands.
'Our daughter?', I question as I quietly listen to him say next 'I do apologize for not explaining it to you sooner. She is our adopted daughter my dear and I do trust you'll be good to her?', cold chill rain over my body hearing his voice so close to my head. My face flushed with embarrassment feeling his presence so close to me I simply nodded in agreement. His hand slowly slipped away as I breath out in relief since he didn't harm me. But his aura felt calm and dominating feeling this make my skin feel warm. I felt a slight tug on my hand seeing Eri looking up in my eyes asking, 'Will you stay with me I wanna know you some more?', I happily nodded at her request.
For the remainder of the day I spend hours getting to know this little angle I'll soon call 'My Daughter' the thought of it melted all my doubts of this place.
Her hands fit so perfectly to mine, her little head resting on my chest and her kind nature is what led me to believe I have a chance to be happy again. Doing the little things both mother and daughters made me want to protect her like any mother would do.
After a meal together we join the other in the commen area. She played around with Mimic drawing pictures or puzzling games. I sat back on the sofa watching her then felt the sofa shift a bit feel the weight of another beside me. It was Overhual seeing in delight of the sudden change of my behavior than before.
His voice whispering in my ear, 'She seems to trust you. You're treating far more well than I expected. That makes me very happy', his arm curving around my waist pulling me close. The sudden move startled me as I gently place my head in the crook of his neck hearing his heart humming. His heat felt so warm and his arms so strong to hold me it calmed my senses causing me to close my eyes.
I peeked open my eyes to see little Eri rubbing her eyes and a moment came for her to yawn. 'Excuse me, Overhual', I said gently pulling away as I walked towards Eri. Picking her up deep into my arms as she place her head over my chest and her body going limp. 'You must be tired. Let put you to bed, okay?', lowing my voice to her, she nodded agreeing with me. 'Allow me to show you the way', Overhual insists standing from his sitting while fixing his glove.
I followed behind him leading to her room being small filled with toys and adorable stuffed animal's. I held her up higher resting her head on my shoulder as I pulled the cover down then gently laying her on her bed. Eri held my hand while it pressed against her cheeks not wanting to leave. I stood by her till her eye became heavy and drifted off to sleep. Her gentle face looked so peaceful as I pulled the sheets over her then lightly kissing her head goodnight.
I kneel down to her ear and whispered, 'Goodnight Eri', before leaving her to rest and closed the door. Await me was Overhual watching me carefully from the beginning till the end.
