Episode 4

"Miss, Taniguchi. Your father is in a council meeting at the second floor. He said that you should go there when you arrive." The woman said.

"I see, I'll get going then." Mitsuko said and pulled her hands away from her as she tried taking it.

Dumb gold digger! I don't see why father would fall for some tart like her...

"Why do you need my hand eh?" Mitsuko asked.

"I also is on my way there so why don't we go together?" Jane asked as she took Mitsuko's hand and this time Mitsuko wasn't be able to take it away.

"You don't want your father getting mad at you again, right?" Jane said as she smirked.

Mitsuko only trembled as she started walking.

Jane only smiled under her breath as she grinned. The two woman reached the meeting room and Mitsuko's father greeted them both fairly which hated Jane.

"Glad you two arrived, we were just talking about the inheritance of the company." Henry greeted as he led them to the table.

"So, who's getting the company?" Mitsuko asked.

"We decided to split it to you and your mom..." Henry said.

"What the hell?! Why would you give it to her! She's a no one!" Mitsuko shouted as she glared at her father.

"Don't speak to Jane like that! She's your mother!" Henry scolded her.

"She will never be my mother! Besides you could've given it to me and Harumin! The rightful heirs!" Mitsuko shouted as she continued.

"That's enough, Mitsuko! My decision is final." Henry said.

"Well, my decision is final too! I'm leaving the family and you won't stop me." Mitsuko said as she turned to leave.

"Heir, huh? You just lost your whole family, Mr. Taniguchi." Mitsuko said then left.

She went outside and drove back home to see guards waiting for her.

"You wanna stop me? Let me see you try..." Mitsuko said as she readied herself.

Harumin knocked on the Aihara Mansion and a blue haired girl opened the door.

"You must be Harumin that Mei's talking about. Come in." The girl said so Harumin went in.

She was led by the girl to a room and she immediately saw Mei.

"H-hey, there." Mei said as she wiped the blood of her face.

"It happened again?" Harumin asked as she went toward her and took a good look on her.

"Y-yeah, I don't know why though." Mei said softly.

"We both know why though. You've been training hard that's why. You'll be a Master soon so don't push yourself too much." Harumin said as she hugged her.

"I love you, babe." Mei said as she buried her face on her neck.

"Me too, please stop pushing yourself. I don't want to see you like this." Harumin said as she held her cheeks with both hands and looked at her.

"Promise me." Harumin said but Mei only leaned forward to kiss her.

Harumin kissed back as she opened her mouth slightly so that Mei could get in easily. The two girls moaned as their tongue intertwined with each other tasting one another.

The two kept kissing and pulled away immediately when the door opened.

"Mei, your grandfa- oh! Who are you?" Yuzu asked confused.

"Harumi Taniguchi, but you can call me Harumin." Harumin replied.

"You saying that grandfather called?" Mei asked and Yuzu nodded.

"I'll be right back then, go and get to know each other." Mei said as she let go off Harumin's hand then left.

"You two have something don't you?" Yuzu asked as she smirked.

"You don't see that as disgusting?" Harumin asked.

"Of course not, besides I know Mei chose you for a reason and that reason is good. I'm Yuzu Aihara by the way." Yuzu answered.

"Aihara?" Harumin asked confused.

"Oh, my mom remarried to Uncle Sho so I'm Aihara now." Yuzu explained and Harumin nodded awkwardly.

"I-I see, well....uhmmm...please don't mention our relationship to anyone, Yuzu." Harumin said.

"Why though?" Yuzu asked.

"People don't accept our relationship especially our family, so please never speak of it Infront of them." Harumin explained and Yuzu nodded.

The two girls fell silent looking at each other so when they realized what they were doing they immediately looked away when Yuzu's necklace started to glow.

"Hey, your necklace is glowing!" Harumin exclaimed.

"Eh? It only glowed earlier when I was in danger but your the only one who's here." Yuzu said then suddenly her eyes glowed and turned lavender.

"Haha, this body is easy to possess. Taniguchi-san, tell me where Mei is if you don't want to get hurt." The woman on Yuzu's body said.

"Like hell I'll tell you!" Harumin shouted and Shigeko went inside.

"What the hell is going on? Who shouted?" Shigeko asked as she hurried inside almost tripping herself as a result.

"Shigeko, can you tell me where Mei is?" The woman said using Yuzu's body.

"Will you stop it? Why use possession if you don't know that person you possessed?" Shigeko said and readied herself.

"Get out of there or we'll get you!" Harumin shouted and Yuzu's eyes suddenly glowed green and she went back to her senses.

"Haah! I'm back? Hmmm? What happened? Why are you in that position? Were you about to attack me?" Yuzu asked confused.

"You're back?" Harumin asked cautiously.

"Yeah? Uhh....what happened?" Yuzu asked.

"You were possessed and we still don't know who was it." Harumin explained.

"Possessed?! As in someone else is controlling my body?" Yuzu exclaimed as the two saw the fear in her face.

"It's fine, we just need to start your training then that won't happen again." Shigeko said and someone's phone started ringing.

"That's mine, be right back." Harumin said and left.

Shigeko took her hand and she led him outside. Shigeko then put her hands on Yuzu's chest and summoned water from somewhere.

Yuzu tried to moved away but Shigeko shook her head so Yuzu didn't dare to move. The water touched her skin and went inside her.

Yuzu could feel the water moving around her body as Shigeko was controlling it. Soon, Yuzu felt nothing as her body started to relax until it was interrupted when Shigeko took the water out.

"My assumptions were right, you really are not baptized. I don't know why Auntie didn't get you baptized but I think I know for sure is...that's a bad idea." Shigeko explained.

"We need to start your training as soon as possible before the Clans started war against each other." Shigeko continued.

"Clans? That just doesn't make any sense to me." Yuzu said as she grinned a little but Shigeko was still as serious as she was.

"There are 4 clans in the Shadow World. There are Fire, Water, Air, and Earth. You are in the Fire Clan while I'm in the Aqua Clan. The baptism of Fire Clan as I can remember is staying on fire for 1 day." Shigeko said.

"What the hell?!" Yuzu exclaimed.

"Well, if you don't want that to happen to you again then you must get baptized. Besides you can't start your training if you're not baptized yet." Shigeko said.

"Why do they want a heir again?" Yuzu asked.

"The Witcher was killed. She was the one who holds the Mother Stone which is the source of all the power in the Shadow World. If it gets in the wrong hands then it could cause chaos." Matsuri explained as she climbed up the fence.

"Who killed the Witcher then?" Yuzu asked.

"We don't know but the rumors tells us that it's the Fire Clan who killed her because they keep the Mother Stone for now." Matsuri replied.

"Maybe this is the reason dad didn't want me involve here. This is full of violence." Yuzu said.

"Well, I guess that's true but what choice do you have?" Shigeko asked. "Violence is the only way you'll survive in both worlds." Shigeko added.

The three heard the front door opening and Harumin went out.

"I'll ask my sister if she could train you. But I need to handle some things first. I'll see you- Who's this little one?" Harumin asked as she pet Matsuri's head.

"That's Mat- Hey, I'm not little!" Matsuri interrupted.

"....Just a bit... Hahahaha!" Shigeko said as she ran after being chased by Matsuri nonstop.

"That's Matsuri, she just doesn't like being called little bit she's nice." Yuzu explained.

"I see, I'll just call you if my sister is available. Tell Mei I already left, okay?" Harumin said as she held her shoulder.

"Of course, I'll see you around." Yuzu said and Harumin nodded then left.

Yuzu was still standing on the same spot as she watch the two chasing each other.

"I'll go back inside, you two continue if you want. I want to rest." Yuzu said then left going inside.

"What the hell is wrong with you?! Why would you wanna kill her?!" Mei shouted.

"She's dangerous! She's an Okogi and you know how the war started 100 years ago that killed your grandma!" Her grandfather shouted.

"I don't ******* care! It's not as if she'll attack us right? She doesn't even know about our world until now!" Mei shouted as she glared at her grandfather.

"Fine! If that's what you choose. Then let me give you two choices. It's either you marry someone or you'll kill the Okogi." He said and Mei stopped. "I'll give you 10 seconds to answer." Her grandfather added.

"1"

"2"

"3"

"4"

"5"

"6"

"7"

"8"

"9"

"Te- Fine! I'll m-marry him!" Mei shouted.

"You were never like this Mei. What made you change? I really don't know what to do with you anymore." Her grandfather said.

"If your done then I'm leaving." Mei said and was about to leave.

"Care to explain? Hmmm?" Her grandfather asked but she only turned to look at him.

"I don't need to explain anything to you. If you are wondering why I'm like this then why not ask yourself? You made me like this." Mei said then left leaving her grandfather shocked.

Mei ran to her room and cried.

"Haah! Harumin! What do I do?! I don't want to lose you!" Mei shouted as she cried.

"Uhhh....did something happen?" Yuzu asked as she turned to look at Mei

"How long have you been there?"  Mei asked as she wipes the tears off her face.

"Long enough to know that your crying because of Harumin." Yuzu replied and Mei turned to look at her.

"Don't mind me...I just had a talk with grandfather that's all." Mei said.

"I know about your "thing" with Harumin so if you won't tell me what's going on then I'll tell gramps abo- No! Don't! Just promise you won't mention this about anyone." Mei said. "Not even Harumin." Mei added as she looked at her seriously.

"Y-yeah..." Yuzu said as she stuttered.

Is it really a good thing to ask her about this? She's so scary when she's serious.

Mei only sighed and looked at Yuzu.

I don't want to lose you too Harumin... Like my mom...
