章節 14: The feelings of a fox

Kyoto , Japan

yasaka was right now sleeping on her bed , after a long day at park with ikki and the kids , she was very exhausted.

Thinking about ikki brought a smile to her face, in the past 2 years she had grown very close to the Banjin that had suddenly barged into her life, she had laughed ,she had argued she cried , she did many thing in the past 2 years which her previous self could not even imagine herself doing .

With time her feelings for him had grown as well , so much so that she could not stay an entire day without at least seeing him once. That is why sometimes when she is busy with her duties and unable to see him in the day , she would sneak into his room and watch him mumble in his sleep.

"Honestly, I still do not understand how someone so intimidating and powerful could sleep like a log in the night " she mumbled to herself

an year ago when she learned of the massacre in the underworld she broke down crying, she felt it was her fault that they died because she was the one who allowed the nekomata to migrate into the underworld despite the council's protest.

She still remembers that day very clearly

(flashback)

She was in her room feeling very hollow inside , she had failed her people and the worst thing is that she cannot even avenge them because the devils had 4 satans while she was alone and she did not think the shinto would help her with her personal vendetta .

"Yasaka , open the door " my heart almost stopped when i heard his voice, he should not be here , he said he will be going for training for 2 months , he is a month early ,

"open the door woman" i was in a panic when i heard the irritation in his voice , i was afraid that he would also leave me alone just like the rest so i hurriedly opened the door but not all the way because i did not want him to look at my ugly appearance right now

when he looked at me with stunned and enraged eyes i looked down to the floor, i did not want to see the disgust in his eyes at my appearance.

suddenly i felt two strong arm wrap around me and force me into a well defined chest , i looked up to look at his face who looked at me with worry , i was first embarrassed and tried to struggle but then i felt his warmth which made me feel secure , unknowingly i hugged him back and started to cry and slept in his arms exhausted from the stress.

next day ,when i woke up one of the soldiers informed me of what ikki had done in the underworld and that he brought back the last two remaining nekoshou to the palace , i was saddened to know that these kids were all that were left of a once proud race but i also felt happy to know that he cared for me enough to make an enemy out of one of the three great factions .

after that day we came even closer and i started to use his name without any honorifics , However i knew that i could not be with him because the shinto trinity especially Amaterasu would not allow her "daughter" to be married to a man that she did not know, so i began to enjoy the limited time i had with him and unknowingly it had been 2 years since he came into my life .

"I truly hope that mother would accept you ikki, because i do not know if i will be able to live after a second heartbreak" mumbled yasaka with tears in her eyes while thinking of a certain saiyan, however she did not know that there is nothing in the multiverse which can force a saiyan to separate from their loved ones , for any one who had ever tried had ceased exist
