Chapter 99: Cloying Reunion 1

Chapter 99: Cloying Reunion 1

(Perspective Saori Shirahama)

There are moments in life where everything can take such an abrupt turn that it makes you doubt if you were ever in control of your own life.

I always imagined that I would grow old and die alongside my husband as my children grew up and started their own families.

Not even in my wildest dreams did I imagine that I would reach where I would not only hate my own husband but even fall in love with a teenager the same age as my son.

Since the incident where I was kidnapped with my daughter and then rescued by Luis, my life has been total chaos.

I originally thought to leave my relationship with Luis as a one-time event that would never happen again even if it broke Luis's heart, however, the changes in my environment happened overnight.

That same night Luis disappeared without a trace causing several people to be filled with anguish including my daughter Honoka and myself.

At first I felt angry because Luis left without saying goodbye, then I felt guilty since I thought I broke his heart and that's why he left.

It wasn't until a classmate of my son who was also a friend of Luis mentioned that Luis left after being expelled from the dojo for killing the people who kidnapped me.

I knew how important the dojo was for Luis, since he lost his family the dojo became a second family for him and that was something that we could all notice, that's why it was hard for me to believe that the people in the dojo gave him the back.

Can a person turn his back on his own family?

Even if they weren't related by blood, everyone in that dojo acted like a family so I decided to investigate.

I asked my son first and his answer took my breath away.

"It is true that he did it to protect you and Honoka and I will always be grateful for that, but that does not change that he used his force to take lives, no matter the circumstance, the murder will never be justified" - Kenichi said this with great will and determination.

Normally I would be proud to have a son with such a noble heart but at that moment I had to bite my lip to suppress the need to yell at him and slap him.

As a mother, it makes me happy that my son follows an honest path, but as a person, I feel hurt to see that my son would spare the life of a group of kidnappers who almost raped me.

Worse still, as a woman, I felt furious after realizing that the only person who would do anything to protect me was expelled from what he considered his family.

Although I had sex with Luis for a drug, I cannot deny that it was the greatest pleasure I have ever experienced, which combined with his kindness and the fact that he would rather be shot than abandon me made it inevitable that I would end up falling in love with him.

I tried to argue with the people of the dojo under the pretext that Luis was my savior and he deserved another chance, but the people of the dojo told me that it was impossible to accept Luis again since he did not regret it and said that if necessary he would do again.

I left the place feeling so angry that I almost forced Kenichi to leave the dojo, but I let him continue training because despite my anger he was still my son and I want the best for him.

When I got home a woman came in and got down on her knees apologizing. She was Luis's teacher and from what I could see she and Luis had a closer relationship than a simple disciple and teacher.

I invited her to have tea and we got to know each other better, I also learned that Luis had a harem and although he annoyed me a bit, what surprised me the most is that I did not have a problem with him having several lovers.

"Who are you looking for?" - I asked politely through the intercom.

Looking through the digital screen, I saw a student the same age as Kenichi and Luis. He was the kind of guy who wouldn't stand out in a crowd, but something about him was familiar.

"Hello Saori ..." - The boy looked at the camera with a friendly smile.

The voice, the expression, that look, the way he called me by my name ...

If he ignored the color of hair, eyes, glasses, and some features that can be hidden with makeup he was identical to Luis.

My heart began to beat, I couldn't answer with words. I rushed to open the door and when I opened it I saw him, it was him ...

"Hello, I haven't seen you for a long time" - Luis smiled at me, that smile so warm that it makes me feel safe.

"L-Luis ..." - My voice was shaky, I felt that the tears were about to come out of my eyes.

I pinched my hand to verify that it was not a dream and when I felt the pain I realized that this was real.

Unable to contain me, I rushed to hug him.

"You came back ... You really came back ..." - I couldn't control the tremor in my voice, I could only hug Luis tightly.

"I missed you too" - Luis wrapped me in his arms, it was not a hug from superficial lovers but the kind of hug that you would only give to a very dear family member.

Luis began to caress my back making me feel like a little girl being comforted, it was a strange feeling, but somehow it made me feel safe, it was nice.

This was the moment where I realized, no matter what kind of circumstances I may experience in the future or what kind of problems I have to deal with, it is only by being in Luis's arms that I can feel safe and loved.

Regardless of the circumstances that may occur in the future, I want to embrace this feeling so as not to let go of it again.

Author's Note:

This chapter was a bit short, later I am thinking of making small chapters that will be like 98.5 or 110.5 or something like that, they will be like additional short chapters to tell aspects of the plot that I have not explained well or told the lives of the women of the harem already that having so many forgotten characters makes me feel guilty ...

Of course, those short chapters will not count as weekly chapters so it will be like a bonus, Yey more work!

Just kidding, I enjoy writing, although sometimes I have little blocks and I don't know how to write certain scenes which give me insomnia ...

Anyway, a hug <3 (It seems that lately I'm leaving a lot of notes ... Maybe the social isolation makes me feel a little lonely *sob*)
