Secrets Within the Family to be

We both went out, but I was not feeling that well.

They were the only people who were sweet to me after a long time and the only people who wished for my recovery. Not even my family wished for that and my dad slapped me when I just came alive.

'How are you feeling,' she asked me. She must have seen me spacing out.

'I am feeling really good, I couldn't go out in a while and now I am sick of going to hospitals.'

'I can feel you, I haven't been to a hospital for the reasons you came in, but I had to go through a lot when I was your age. No, I was much younger than you then. So don't worry and stay strong, I can see that you are a strong girl.'

'Thank you for the compliment, Mrs. Shio.'

'there you go again. I told you to call me mom but you are still calling me Mrs. Shio. I thought you started to call me mom, and I was so happy to hear you calling me that.' 

'You still didn't tell me the story you had to tell me. I am curious to know what it is.'

'I was only 15 when I had my son, so I had to go through a lot.

Mom, Mr. Shio already told me that. 'Oh, he did.' Yep, he told me a few things like you guys dropped out of school for a year to have him, were homeschooled, and got married after you both turned 18. Am I right, mom?'

'You are right, but that's only the beginning, I think he did not dare to say this to you. He must have been scared that it end the marriage between you and Samael, but I think I should tell you this. Because it's your future to decide.'

'Our future was already decided, but you still have time to change your fate.'

'Mom, tell me what it is. I will not end the marriage that easily if it's not a concern to me.'

'I am happy to hear you calling me mom, but I am afraid whether you will call me that if I tell it.'

'Don't worry about anything,' I said trying to give her a hug.

'We are much more like sisters, so don't worry you can talk about anything with me. Even if I don't love him, I will marry him because I fell in love with you guys. No one has been so concerned about me before. 

When my own dad came into the room and slapped me, it was only you people who sent me love. So I will do anything for you guys.'

'But there is no point in a marriage if there ain't no love in it. I am scared about your future. It will completely change if you marry my son. I don't want you to be an impure human.'

All sorts of things started to cross my mind,

'what is she talking about? Impure, what does she take me for? Is she talking about that? This is the 21st century who cares about that anyway, but still, there can be people with old minds who think that a girl should be pure to be married.

It's okay, this is not a problem that I need to concern myself. Let's see what she has to tell.'

'What is she scared of? stop spacing out Listening is important, I told myself. 

'I don't know whether you have already noticed it or seen it, but me, my husband, and Samael are demons. Please don't think that I am crazy or something, this is what I had to tell you. I thought that you should know about it.

I must sound like an insane person to you, but I am not. I don't have many powers to prove to you that I am, cause I am just someone who got the powers after being a human.

This is why I said you might become an impure human when you get mixed with a demon.'

It felt like I was struck with lightning, 'they both are monsters too. What should I do now? should I tell them that I am one of them too? Will she believe me? She will be surprised to hear that.

I was really stupid to tell her that, I don't love her son. She must be really pissed off at me now. What have I done?

I made this a chance to have a mom and dad who cares about me but ended up saying yes to it without even hearing the most important thing. I must have been insane.' 

'Actually, I have something I need to tell you too, I am a demon too.'

She looked at me in surprise. 'I don't know about the pure or impure stuff, but I actually died some time ago but was born in the realm of the dead as a princess.'

'So you are someone from the royal clan too...

I never expected this. You are indeed a pure demon. Even though we were demons even before death, we have lead a good life. There are a lot of hidden secrets in our family, but I don't want to tell them to you cause it might scare you off.

You are not joking right, little Yuki?' 

'There is no point in joking about it. It's the bitter truth about me. I never expected you guys to be demons. I knew that Samael was a demon. It was such a long time since I got to know that. But how come is it that I didn't see you both at our wedding?'

'What are you talking about? A wedding? I never heard that both of you got married?'

I think I just uttered something wrong. Don't worry about that.

'Tell me what it is, because everything about you is important to us,' she said grabbing my wrist tightly.

'Don't worry, the person that I got wedded to was non-other than Samael, your loving son.

Actually, he did it without my consent. He forced me to get married to him. There was no turning back for me after he decided that.

If I am right, he didn't even tell you that, and then right after that, he killed me and then killed himself in front of my eyes.'

'What did you tell just now? He can't do that. He has a sacred body. So does you and was he's the one who ruined it.' She said almost fainting on the ground. 

'Is it something that important? I am living now. Something wasn't right when I got resurrected in the human realm but now I think everything is pretty normal.' 

'But how did that brat went into the realm of the dead without us knowing? It is not possible for him to recognize his relatives without us both telling them who they are?' 

I think it must be because of the "Demonic Book of Evocation."
