Eternal Love

Chapter 57

"Maruta!" The Mizusawas said
"Is that all!" Maruta said as she looked at the children and watched the building start to slowly crumble because of the attacks inside
"We're not sure. I've checked the area and it seems like that's it" Nitski said
"Is Matsuri doing okay?" Juhin asked
"Matsuri is still alright. She's just inside dealing with a few bastards. I'll get inside!" Nitski said before she ran towards the crumbling building
"Ah! Wait!" Juhin exclaimed
"Let her go! She'll be able to take care of herself. We have to bring the mortals and children away from the building!" Maruta said. Juhin sighed in defeat and started guiding the children away from the building while Maruta checked up on the women
"I-I think that should be all" Maruta said and gasped as she saw a couple of shadows pass by them
"E-eh?! Sachie!?" The two exclaimed
"Hey! What are you doing?!" The girl exclaimed as she tried attacking Juhin but he dodged the girl's attack
"Hey! Wait!" Juhin exclaimed
"Get aw-"
"Don't touch him!" Sachie said as she growled and glared at them
"Huh?! You know them?" The boy asked
"They're my family. Don't hurt them" Sachie hissed at them
"Sachie, what are you doing here? Don't you know how dangerous this place is!" Juhin said
"Where is mom?" Sachie asked
"No Sachie. You need to stay out here" Maruta said
"Grrr...you guys stay here and help them get the children away. I'm going in" Sachie said
"No! You have to stay-and she's gone" Juhin said and sighed then looked at the children
"What are you looking at? Now move it!" The girl said making Juhin flinch
"Uh...yes ma'am" Juhin said as he started moving trying to help the children
"Maruta, how is everyone doing?" Mitsuko asked as she approached them
"We have everything under control. It's just we need to take them away from the building. Vampires haven't tried attacking us yet but I doubt they will let us off the hook this easily" Maruta said
"Those damn vampires will try and kill us for them. Also why is Sachie here?" Juhin asked
"Sachie already flew by?" Mitsuko asked
"Yes! She entered the building" Juhin said
"You Okogis stay here and help them get all of them to safety" Mitsuko said
"Understood" Yuzu said
"I'm going in as well and get them out" Mitsuko said
"M-micchan, be careful. I sense something pretty strong in there" Maruta said
"I'll keep that in mind" Mitsuko said as she rushed inside
"Alright. The rest just burn the fucking vampires and clear the way. Shai we need your ice to create a barrier to protect them" Maruta said
"On it" Shai said as her eyes glowed and started to create her ice. Maruta only looked at the building and trembled a bit
Whatever is inside there...it's dangerous...

Nitski groaned as she looked around. She panted heavily and ran pass a couple of hallways
"Matsuri! Hey Matsuri! Where the fuck are you?!" Nitski exclaimed and gasped as the ceiling cracked while a vampire fell onto the floor
"Huh?" Nitski asked and looked up at the hole where she saw more vampires fighting
"Matsuri!" Nitski said as she flew through the hole and found Matsuri pinned against the wall
"Asshole!" Matsuri hissed before she kicked his dick and sunk her teeth on his arm tearing it off
"Matsuri! You need to get out!" Nitski said before she flew towards her and grabbed her
"Agh! Hey! Get those two monsters!" The man ordered. Matsuri's eyes glowed as she raised her hand and attacked the man before Nitski flew away with her
"Hey! Let me go!" Matsuri said
"Yeah! And risk yourself getting hurt! No!" Nitski said. The man held out his palm and attacked towards the girls while other vampires tried surrounding them
"Haah...just get the fuck away!" Nitski said before she raised her hand then swung a massive attack using her claws. She winced in pain and gasped as a vampire tried to attack from above but all the sudden the vampire was thrown to the ground
"Eh?" Matsuri and Nitski asked
"Wh-what the hell?" The man asked as he saw the vampires around him cough out blood and fall to the ground
"Hey! What the hell are you doing?!" The man exclaimed and coughed blood as he was stabbed from behind in his stomach
"Wh-what the fuck?" Nitski asked
"S-sachie?" Matsuri asked and pushed Nitski aside. Sachie pulled away from the man and retracted her claws
"Sachie! What the hell are you doing?!" Matsuri exclaimed
"What does it look like?" Sachie asked as she avoided eye contact
"I told you to stay back at home" Matsuri said
"Yeah and now we'll have to get you girls out" Mitsuko said as she grabbed Matsuri
"Wh-what? You're here too?!" Matsuri exclaimed
"No time! Let's move!" Nitski said as she started flying out and Mitsuko grabbed Matsuri along with Sachie before flying out the building. The man coughed blood as he groaned and rushed towards the end of the hall
God damnit! This is bullshit!
"Ah! They're out!" Yuzu said
"Thank goodness..." Shai said as she sighed in relief
"What? Wh-why are you all here?" Matsuri asked as she looked surprised
"We came to help" Yuzu said as she smiled
"Where are the children?" Matsuri asked as she looked around
"They're safe with Liana and so are the mortals. We took
and jumped as the building started collapsing. Maruta's eyes glowed for a moment before trembling
"Get out! We have to get out!" Maruta exclaimed. The group felt the ground shake and the remaining vampires flew out trying to escape
"She's awaken!"
"Get out of the way!"
"We need to leave!"
The group seemed to be confused for a moment but soon froze in place as they saw a woman coming out of the crumbling building
"I-is that..."
"Holy fuck..."
Matsuri only clenched her fists tightly and trembled a little
"The first corrupted child...has awaken" Matsuri mumbled. The woman looked around at first and soon let out a high screech that sent out a powerful aura that blew them away
"You guys need to get out of here..." Matsuri said and Mitsuko grabbed her face
"Will you just quit it? Let me handle this" Mitsuko said
"Huh?! Let you handle this?! But you can't! I won't let you! Just go back with Sachie and the others! I'll handle thi-"
"Enough! Will you just stop putting your life on the line? I had enough of this talk!" Mitsuko growled as she clenched onto Matsuri
"Ow! Ow! Ow! Ow! Okay! Let me go!" Matsuri whimpered loudly and Mitsuko sighed before releasing her. Matsuri whimpered as she rubbed her cheeks softly
"Uh guys...I know you two are arguing and all but...what about that bitch?!" Juhin exclaimed and soon the woman turned to face them
"Hahahaha...found you!" The woman laughed as she smiled. The group only ran away as they tried to hide from the woman though it was pointless
"How do you plan on fighting her?" Matsuri asked
"Easy. I will take her on" Sachie said as she cracked her knuckles
"No. Unlike you Matsuri, I came prepared for this. Do you really have to do things alone?" Mitsuko asked as she held out her sword
"H-huh?" Matsuri asked
"Now!" Mitsuko shouted and the woman gasped as she was attacked behind then from the front twice
"H-huh?! Who dares challenge m-ack!"
"Kallen! Ume!" Jinah shouted as she clawed her face. Ume and Kallen activated their powers then flew by the woman
"AAAAGGGGHHHHH!" The woman cried out in pain and trembled
"While they're dealing with them. You can escape" Mitsuko said
"But can't we-"
"Sachie, no. You can't handle this on your own. It's best to leave it to us. Now you head back with the other children. They seem to trust you more than us" Mitsuko said
"Yeah and let you guys fight. She is clearly after me" Sachie said
"And how the hell do you know that?" Matsuri asked
"I've seen dreams! I've met this woman in my dreams! I am the only one who can defeat her and-"
A roar was heard as the woman started fighting back using her powers
"Heh...so this is my little sister's precious girl?" The woman asked and Jinah ducked down dodging her
"Ume!" Jinah said
"On it!" Ume said as she activated flames from her palms before attacking her then struck her as she used her paralyzing power
"Hehehe...pretty tough for a couple of weaklings" The woman said and attacked then both
"Hngh!" The two groaned in pain and Kallen flew above her before activating her flaming arrows
"Get away!" Kallen said and shot them at her which pierced right through her body burning her insides
"We don't have time to argue! Just make up your damn mind and fight or something!" Yuzu said as she flew out
"Do I have to?" Shai asked and Ortho grabbed her
"I don't want to either but we can't let her escape" Ortho said as he flew up to the air with her
"Matsuri, you'll have to stay with Sachie and the rest of the group" Mitsuko said
"I'm not going to stay behind" Matsuri said
"I didn't ask" Mitsuko said as her eyes glowed and soon created a portal herself
"Huh? Since wh-Hey!" Matsuri exclaimed and Sachie entered the portal with her mother. The two ended up in the middle of the forest once again
"Argh!! That mother of yours! Just got hat the hell was she fucking thinking?! I have to head back..." Matsuri said but Sachie hugged her from behind
"No! Stop it!" Sachie said and Matsuri paused as she turned around
"Sachie?" Matsuri asked
"I don't want you to fight anymore! I always see you in pain whenever you fight! You always care about others but not yourself! I know you want to save them! But you can't leave us! We still need you! Ever since you became the Queen! You've been more focused on work than us! Back then you were always there for us when we needed you! Now you're always gone everyday! You barely have any time for us! Do you not care about us?! Are we not important?! Is work more important!?" Sachie exclaimed as her right eye turned red and trembled with tears building up in her eyes. Matsuri turned around facing her and reached her hand out
"Sachie...I'm...really sorry. I-I...didn't know how you felt...nor Asuka or your mother. I just...wanted to keep you all safe" Matsuri spoke softly and stepped forward before hugging her closely
"I-I'm still scared...I-I...always have dr-dreams...of you...mama...A-asuka...hurt. B-because of me...I-I can't...I don't...w-want to see any of you...nor our family or friends h-hurt. I-I want...t-to protect you" Sachie said as her voice cracked and teared up as she hugged her back tightly. Matsuri's expression soften and held her closely
...we need to put an end to this
Sachie felt her mother's body start to shift and looked up seeing Matsuri who was now in her Queen form. Matsuri opened her eyes revealing her red eyes
"M-mom?" Sachie asked and Matsuri only looked at her then place her hand on her shoulder
"You...have a plan...isn't that right?" Matsuri asked as she looked at her with a calm expression
"...k-kinda...but...I'm just..." Sachie paused as she clenched her fists tightly and shut her eyes tightly
"Hey...don't overthink it. You need to keep your mind clear and let your energy flow through your entire body. I apologise for not even helping you with your powers..." Matsuri whispered
I really...am the worse...well...I was always the worse
"Don't be scared...this time. I am here by your side. I will follow you and listen to you. We will do this together...and by the time the sun rises...we will finally be able to live in peace. This time...I will keep my promise" Matsuri said as she stroked her hair softly and gave her a small smile. Sachie only looked at her and wiped her tears away
"O-okay...well...the plan is..."
