Eternal Love

Chapter 62

The next morning, the entire Kingdom heard the great and wonderful news
"Auntie!"
"Sachie!"
"You're alive!"
The children cried tears of joy as they hugged the two Mizusawas
"Girls please calm down" Mitsuko said as she twins hugged her
"Waaah! We were scared!" Kiyoko cried while Koharu hid her tears
"Pl-please do-"
"Sis!" Harumin cried as tears streamed down her cheeks
"Oh great..." Mitsuko groaned and her sister hugged her
"Harumi!" Mitsuko said as she tried to pull away but Harumin hugged her
"Shut up! You got me worried!" Harumin said as she held her. Mitsuko sighed and hugged her back
"There there...I'm sorry for making you worry" Mitsuko said. Meanwhile Sachie was being attacked by her friends with hugs
"Sachie! Do you know how we felt?" Yua asked as she grabbed her face
"Mm..." Sachie said and Miyagi hugged her from behind
"We were scared..." Miyagi said and trembled
"You broke your promise!" Fuyuhime said as she glared at her with a few tears and hugged her tightly
"W-we couldn't sleep or v-visit you..." Ema said
"Yeah! We tried to see you but Auntie didn't let us" Hana said as she crossed her arms
"Sachie, how come you get to kick ass but not me?!" Miyu exclaimed and Juhin only touched her shoulder
"Hey be nice..." Juhin said
"Yeah yeah I know" Miyu said. Asuka only his since she knew the way she behaves was wrong
"Come on Asuka. Just go out there and apologize" Matsuri said as she touched her head softly
"There is a big difference between crying in front of your family and crying in front of your friends" Asuka said and trembled
"Hey... it's okay. Just go out there and tell them you're sorry. They should understand because Sachie-"
"Was playing dead when I fucking told her not to take it too far" Asuka growled
"That's one way to put it but you can't hide in here forever" Matsuri said
"Mm...yeah" Asuka said and stepped out of the hallway where she hid. She walked to the group and felt her heart beat fast
"Eh? Asuka?" Yua asked
"Hey Asuka!" Miyu said as she tried to touch her but Asuka pulled away
"Let me speak first...please" Asuka said as she trembled slightly and bowed down in front of her friends
"I-I'm sorry for the way I behaved that day. I know I was upset and it wasn't right for me to just tell at you guys...I'm really sorry" Asuka said and jumped as Yua and Ema hugged her tightly
"Ah! H-hey!" Asuka said
"Of course we forgive you!" Yua and Ema said
"You were just having a bad day" Yua said
"Yeah! But now it's okay. I mean we understand how you felt back there" Miyu said as she hugged her as well
"Alright let go" Asuka said as she tried to pull away and Sachie patted her head softly
"Sorry for scaring you back there" Sachie said
"I still haven't forgiven you...yet" Asuka said as she looked away
"Awww you're finally acting really sweet" Kiyoko said as she smiled and wiped her tears that were left
"Quiet..." Asuka said as she blushed a little
"Can't you act nice for once?" Miyagi asked
"This is me being nice. I haven't kicked anyone's ass yet" Asuka said and Matsuri only ruffled her hair
"Try and be a little nicer" Matsuri said
"Sorry..." Asuka said
"Okay! You guys are starting to hurt me!" Mitsuko said as she pulled away from the group hug
"We are just so relieved that you're okay" Himeko said
"Yes but that doesn't mean you have to crush me" Mitsuko said
"We're sorry" Harumin said and wiped her tears
"Did you know how dangerous that shit was? You seriously should've thought before fighting" Nitski said
"Yeah! We had a heart attack" Juhin said
"How come I get scolded and Matsuri doesn't when she gets hurt like hell?" Mitsuko asked
"Because it's different" Matsuri said and flinched as Mitsuko grabbed her by her collar shirt
"Agh!" Matsuri whimpered and trembled as she felt her wife's horrific aura
"Different my fucking ass! I will knock you out in a fucking coma if you keep talking bullshit! Now you understand the pain I felt when I thought I lost you!" Mitsuko shouted and Matsuri hugged her
"S-sorry...please c-calm down" Matsuri whimpered as she trembled. Mitsuko kissed her and wrapped her arms around her
"Aww that's so cute" Lina said
"I'm shedding a tear" Asher said
"What the hell are you two doing up there?" Matsuri asked as she looked up at the ceiling seeing the two bats
"We came to say hi and to see the wonderful children!" Lina said
"Ah...and also a little warning" Asher said as he smiled
"Huh?" Matsuri asked
"The wicked witch wants to speak with you" Asher said as he shifted back to normal
"The wicked witch?" Matsuri asked
"Your old hag. Who else do you think we're talking about?" Lina asked
"Show some respect at least..." A woman said as she stepped in the castle
"Aghsvsjsnfbrjdb! Sorry ma'am!" Lina and Asher said before they flew out of the castle trembling in fear
"Hm? What the hell do you want from me?" Matsuri asked
"I want to have a word with you...in private" Her grandmother said as she stepped inside the castle doors. Everyone remained silent and the kids stepped away as they trembled a bit
"Huh? Am I in trouble or something?" Matsuri asked
"What? No. I just need to have a word with you. Please follow me..." Her grandmother said before walking away
"Good luck" Nitski whispered
"You will need it. She is scary" Juhin whispered
"And that goes for you both Nitski and Juhin" The grandmother said as she glanced at them. Nitski and Juhin flinched while Matsuri sighed
"Okay so I'll be back. You guys just stay and relax while us three get our ass kicked" Matsuri said and walked away
"Eh?! Us too?!" Nitski and Juhin exclaimed
"Just start walking. The faster we get this over with the faster I can spend time with my family" Matsuri said
"Awww!" The group said and Matsuri gritted her teeth as she blushed deeply
"Shut up before I shove my foot up your ass!" Matsuri growled and Nitski grabbed her
"Haha! Come on little Mats. Let's go" Nitski said as she smiled. The three Mizusawas left the castle as they followed the old lady
"And you still deny the fact that you act like your mom" Miyu said as she giggled
"Quiet. I don't do it so often" Asuka said
"You do it all day everyday" Miyagi said. Asuka growled but shook it off
"Whatever. Anyways I want to eat something" Asuka said
"Mother, is it alright if I leave to see my friends?" Sachie asked
"Sure. Take the time you need" Mitsuko said
"No! Don't leave me behind!" Fuyuhime said as she hugged her
"Hey..." Miyagi said as she glared at her and grabbed her then pulled her away from her
"I'll be back to eat since I'm still starving. It'll take a couple of minutes" Sachie said before she headed out leaving her other friends behind.  She flew quick and sent out an aura which she used quite often to tell her friends she was waiting for them at their spot. Sachie sat down against the concrete bricks where she waited for her friends. A few minutes passed by and soon heard a couple of screams
"Sachie!"
"You're finally awake!"
"We missed you so much!"
"Sachie!" Eiichi cried as he ran towards her. Sachie was surprised. He wrapped his arms around her and hugged her
"Waaah! Sachie!" Eiichi said as he cried on her shoulder
"I'm okay, Eiichi. Please don't cry..." Sachie said as she patted his back softly
"Please don't leave me again!" Eiichi whimpered as he kept tearing up
"Pl-please calm down..." Sachie said as she patted her head softly
"Hey Eiichi. Let us have a turn as well" Akae said as she glared at him
"Hahaha...still jealous" Megumi whispered
"It's so obvious..." Taysuke whispered as he chuckled softly
"Don't worry about me Eiichi. It won't happen again" Sachie said
"Please don't let it happen again!" Eiichi said as he sniffed and wiped his tears
"Okay. That's it!" Akae said and hugged Sachie from behind
"I'm not done! I'm the childhood friend!" Eiichi said
"You guys are behaving like children..." Sachie groaned as she felt her body being tugged back and forth
"Come on guys. Stop that before you hurt her" Megumi said as she smacked Akae
"Ow! Why me and not him?" Akae asked as she rubbed her head
"Our Eiichi is a baby and he must be protected" Megumi said
"You guys are mean" Akae said as she pouted and Sachie wrapped an arm around her
"Group hug!" Megumi said before wrapping her arms around them
"No thanks" Taysuke said and Sachie grabbed him using her shadows
"Ah! No! Wait!" Taysuke said but Eiichi hugged him
"Come on! Sachie is back!" Eiichi said
"We're glad you're back. We can finally play!" Megumi said
"We missed you so much" Taysuke said
"Now we can finally plan your birthday that will be coming up soon" Akae said as she smiled brightly. Sachie smiled a little before giggling a bit
"I missed you guys as well..." Sachie whispered

"So...what is it that you need?" Matsuri asked
"Just wanted to say I'm sorry..." Her grandmother said as she used a soft tone
"That's it? Okay I'm out" Matsuri said
"Wait you ungrateful brat!" Her grandmother said
"I'm not a brat!" Matsuri said
"Mm...I don't know" Nitski said
"I know you're in your Queen form but still-"
"Shut you bitch ass up!" Matsuri said as she kicked them
"Ahh!" The two Mizusawas said as they tried to dodge her. The old lady only stared at them and shook her head
"The three of you calm down this instance!" The old woman said before she froze them in place and released them once they cooked down
"Now...will you listen?" Her grandmother asked
"Sure" Matsuri said
"Finally so back to what I was saying. I want to apologise for everything. I know you three have been through rough times and I wasn't there for none of you. It's probably late since all of you are quite grown up. I haven't been a very great grandmother to none of you. I want to make it up to each and every one of you. I would like to fix our bond little by little. It'll take time but...I want to try and do my best for you three. I'm really sorry...and I hope you three can give me a chance. I mean it...from the bottom of my heart" Her grandmother said as she touched her chest
"You have a heart?" Matsuri asked. Her grandmother looked at her with a straight face before sighing
Now I understand why I struggled with Jinah...they're just little kids...
"Way to ruin my moment of apology" Her grandmother said as she sighed deeply
"Nah we're just hunrgy" Nitski said
"Yeah we want to eat" Juhin said
"How are you three comfortable with human food?" She asked
"It's actually quite tasty. You should try it" Juhin said
"Yeah. We just need to drink a little potion to help our stomaches digest the meal without us vomiting it" Nitski said
"Would you...like to come and join us for breakfast? Liana probably has enough for us" Matsuri said
"N-no thanks. I'm still...not comfortable" She said as she trembled slightly
"Are you scared or something?" Nitski asked as she chuckled softly
"I'm still not ready to face them...especially with the way I treated each and everyone of your..uh...spouses" Her grandmother said as she looked to the side and rubbed her neck
"Well we better get in there and help them. Anyways...you can join us whenever you like" Matsuri said as she smiled a little
"R-right...I should head back since I'm probably wasting your time. I already said what I needed to say so I should be off" Her grandmother said as she turned their back on them
"And have fun with your family...you deserve so much more" Her grandmother said as she whispered the last part of the sentence before leaving the castle
"Hmm...soooo what will you do?" Nitski asked
"Not sure but...I suppose I could give her a chance and fix the bond we never had" Matsuri said
"Can we go in? I'm hungry..." Juhin said as he chuckled nervously
"Let's go help cook!" Nitski said as she grabbed her brother and cousin before dragging them inside
"Hey! Don't drag me!" Matsuri said as she tugged her hair
"Hey!" Nitski said and smacked her but ended up hitting Juhin
"Ow! Hey!" Juhin said. The three Mizusawas only tackled each other as they started playing
"Why did you marry her in the first place?" Harumin asked as she whispered
"I have no idea...but...she's still very cute and fun to be with" Mitsuko said as she blushed
"And by fun you mean fun in bed" Maruta said making Mitsuko choke on her saliva
"Maruta!" Harumin and Mitsuko said as they blushed. Maruta only looked to the side as she fixed her glasses before giggling a bit
"Cyndi...you could've done better. Don't you think?" Phila asked
"Yeah maybe someone who doesn't act like a god damn pervert?" Hinria asked
"Nitski is really sweet and nice. She just doesn't like to show it to others" Cyndi said as she smiled
"They're a bunch of kids..." Himeko said as she shook her head
"They're not the only kids around here..." Mei said as she sighed and turned around seeing the Okogis
"Can you two just shut up?" Ortho asked as he tapped their shoulder
"It's my turn to make dessert!" Shai said
"Hey! It's my turn for everyone to taste my specialty" Yuzu said
"But you made your special meal last time!" Shai said. Mei and Himeko only looked at their wives and sighed
"Why did we marry them in the first place?" Himeko and Mei said
