Chapter 21

—🕊Mizuhashi Yurina Rokurō (POVs)

When we arrived outside my home, I saw a lots of demon's outside my papa's and mama's house, and they look a bit scary too.

Then I saw papa and mama crying while Yoru and Zenaku tried to calm them down, Yasha then puts me down to the ground while I was still hugging my kitty Velthazor.

Yasha then tapped my head and smiled to me, I then looked back to my papa and mama who were crying and then I walked towards to both of them.

When I was walking, some of this demons looks at me and so I look away from them, they seem to be so scary.

" Mommy? Daddy? " I said and when they looked at me, papa then carried me immediately.

( Omg, what's going on in here? )

" My sweet cake!!!!! You're alive!!! " Father said

" We were so worried about you sweet darling!!!! " Mother said

" I wa—." I said but then both of them hugs me so tight that I almost couldn't breath.

" Don't make us worried again sweet cake!!! " Father said and I was just looking at them confusedly.

" Why are there so many demons in here?  "I said

" Is there a party going on outside our house mama? " I said and both of them looked at all the demons outside the house who were just staring at us.

" My king, you have such a lovely daughter!!! *smile*" said to a woman who was wearing green.

" Indeed, I was really so surprised to see her picture, but she is more way cute in person." said to the man who is wearing weird color.

" I'm sorry for all the troubles. " Mother said

" It is alright, we are more glad that you're daughter has returned safely. " another demon said.

( Are they talking about me? )

( But why? )

( I just went to the market where I could buy stuff with Velthazor.)

" But My Queen and King, you didn't even told us that you two already had a child. " the woman said

" We'll, we were keeping her inside our home and to not say anything about this matter." Mother said

" But why not? " The man said

" We are afraid that some demons might hurt our daughter. " Father

( Who would hurt me? )

" Very well my king, but my King and Queen, we will all be going now, and dear child, don't make your parents worried about you again. " the man said and so I just stared at him blankly and when I looked around, I can't see Yasha anymore but someone caught my attention.

( Why is that scary lady is here again? )

( She's weird.)

" Where have you been sweet cake? We were so worried about you! " Father said and I then looked at both of them.

" I was at the black market." I said and then tries to find that lady again but she was nowhere to be seen any more.

" What!??? " Father and Mother said

" What were you doing in there!??  " Father said

I then give them the two rings that I just bought from that lady's shop and then I also give the two paper bags to both Yoru and Zenaku and when they all opened it and looked at me, I then smiled at them.

" It's also my gift. *smile*" I said and they all hugged me, and I saw the lady again outside the house gate, she was staring at me and was smiling, and I found her very creepy.

" Let's go inside and have a dinner, okay sweet darling? *smile*" Mother said and I then hold her hand and Fathers hand too.

After the long night and the dinner that we all had, Zenaku then carries me on his arms and bring me to my room, while Yoru prepared the bath for me again.

" Knocked on the door, if you are done, okay strawberry? *smile*" Yoru said and I just nodded.

As I entered inside my bathroom and when I relaxed myself on the bathtub, I then.. felt something was touching my feet, so I immediately stood up and when I was about to get out, a large claws dragged me down inside the bathtub.

—🕊Yoru Yasuda Yugi (POVs)

As I was waiting for little Yurina to get out from the bathroom, I then looked at Zenaku who was just sitting on the chair reading kids story book, and I then looked my wristwatch and then I knocked on the door.

" Strawberry? Are you done in there? It's almost bedtime now." I said but there was no answer.

I then walked towards to Zenaku and sit down besides him, and he then looked at me.

" What? " I said

" Go back in there." Zenaku said

( Geez, what a cold personality.)

As seconds passed by, I then look at my wristwatch again and looked at the door again, and then to Zenaku who was already sleeping, I then stood up and went towards to the bathroom.

" Strawberry, it's almost midnight, you've been inside there for almost twenty minutes, are you still not done yet? " I said, but she didn't answered again and so I knocked the door twice and thrice, but she didn't opened it, I then walked towards to my brother and woke him up.

" Huh? Where? When?.. Hah What's going on?  " Zenaku said and then looked around.

" Do you have keys? " I said and then he stood up and looked at me.

" For what? " he said and was raising his eyebrows at me.

" To open that damn door." I said and pointed the bathroom and he then looked where I was pointing at and he then walks towards it.

" Is she still not done yet? It's almost midnight already." He said and I just rolled my eye and he then open up the bathroom and we saw no one was inside.

" Wait... What? " I said, and then looked at Zenaku who was looking around.

" Where is she? She's not here. " He said and I then scratch my head.

( I have no idea where she is.)

I then looked at Zenaku and he was doing hand gestures on the air but suddenly little Yurina just popped up inside the bathub.

" Princess!!! " Zenaku said and we then helped her to get out of the bathub.

" What were you doing? " I said

" I was holding my breath for a brief minutes." Yurina said but we both raised an eyebrow towards to her.

" Don't lie." Zenaku said

" Someone pulls me down!!! In there!! And I just teleported to a place I've never been before!!  " Yurina said

" What place?  " I said while we brought her outside the bathroom.

" After that large claw drags me down, I appeared to a place seems so familiar to me, like.. I live in there before.. And I saw a familiar woman and a man.. They appeared to... Look like my human family. " Yurina

( A woman and a man.. That looks like... Her human family from earth? )

" And what happened?  " Zenaku said

" The woman was... A Demon because she has horn on her head and she has.. Red eye's like mine, the people calls her Queen, and the man seems to be human, that looks like exactly my human father from earth." Yurina said

( This seems interesting.)

" And.. Again.. I teleported to another place, the woman and the man that I saw earlier, was married and both has a young child, then the war begins, I saw many humans and demons killing each others. " Yurina said

" It was a bloody war, but at the end...all humans died, especially that man who looks exactly my dad... The woman who was demon was punished for a life sentence, because it was forbidden to them to marry a human and had a child. " Yurina said

( This story seems so.. Familiar.)

" And Zenaku and Yoru, that wasn't the only thing I saw. " Yurina said and so both of us look at her.

" What else did you saw?  " we both said

" The woman's baby was killed in front of her, the demon who killed her child laughs so hard, though.. The problem is I don't remember their faces, but only those two people." she said

( This story... I heard this before.)

" Did you saw anything else? " Zenaku said

" Oh yeah, the woman give her last word for those demon's before she died. " she said

( I feel terrible for that woman, her baby was killed in front of her.)

" She said that, she will be reborn as the most feared and powerful Demon Queen and she also said that, there will be also a human look a like to her, and she also said, she will marry the same man who died at the war, and that the human lookalike to her will bare the same child that they all killed and lastly she said, her child will come back to her as her real daughter as demon and will take over the entire underworld of demons." she said

( I think I know this creepy legend.)

" And did you know when that woman said those words, she also said that, her child will be undefeatable, no demons will defeat her child and after her last word she was killed and died." Yurina said and smiled.

" But you know what's more creepier? " she said while smiling.

" After she finished her last words, She seems to look at my direction and she even smiled, and it feels like she was staring at me after she died brutally. " she said

( This story... It's the story legend of the most feared Demon Queen who was killed by her own demon family. But it was only a legend, no one knows what exactly happened.)

" But why did you say, it seems so familiar to you? That you felt like you lived in there before? " I said

" I just felt it, because.. I felt like.. I've been there before, but it's impossible." She said and smile.

" Hmm, come on its already midnight let's get you something to wear and sleep okay? " Zenaku said and she then just nodded.

( This seems a bit off.)
