Safe?

Now that destroying her card, I am now not forced to do everything. When she realized that I erased her photos of mine, she almost cried. Of course I could not leave her like that. I am kind sometimes but I will not tolerate more if needed.

"Ok,ok. Stop acting like that. Nothing is gonna change when you do that." I said a bit nervous.

I wanted to tease her but she probably forgot about that incident to which I want to make her forget. So, I tried to appease her and slowly drag her out of that mood.

Jiii*

"!" I standed unknowingly.

"?" Akane just tilted her head and thinking of whats with me.

"No, just a sudden... sudden muscle memory. Remember my training? Ye-yeah, my body remembers it."

She just nodded. For now, I am safe. Or am I?

After that exhaustingly day, I changed to my normal clothes and started to read some of my missing lessons. The more I shave off, the better I thought. Anyways, tomorrow I want to tell them I have to go to my own house soon.

I closed my book and checked the window. The outside is already dark and street lights ligthing the roads. Some windows has their lights on and others are off. I checked the time and it seems that I immersed myself quite a lot.

Sigh* "I wonder if they will accept that..." I muttered.

"Well, no time to waste, let's do a bit of homework and sleep."

I did that and hit the bed. So comfortable after this tiring day. Night-night everyone.

I woke up a lot better. My past holes are now filled back but my skin had scars all over. When my foster family saw my scars, they were horrified. After convincing them it is fine.

As I was cleaning my room...

"Kage-kun, time for breakfast!" Akane called.

"Yep! Coming!" I said back.

Going to the dinner table with the kind atmosphere. I sat down and all of us prayed and eat.

After eating and cleaning dishes, I asked all 3 of them to be in the table.

"Umm, this may sound a bit wrong but I want to go back to my own house tomorrow." I said seriously.

All understood but Hikari-san rejected.

"NO! I understand that you feel burdened by having you recuperate here but we are happy in helping you!" She yelled.

I was intimidated. After all, she is a veteran as well with her husband. But I spoke.

"I am thankful but I my clothes are there and few of my notebooks. Besides, I also need to prepare for the tests."

She is angry alright. Iori-san tried to help me, only to be beaten down by Hikari-san.

"Give me a reason to agree to you." She said in a calmed tone.

"Umm, mama, why don't I stay with him in his house for a while?" Akane said.

Wait! I thought I was safe, but I was not.

"Certainly, with you around him, he is safe. I trained you right? I hope that it pays off."

"Unn!"

Damn, even in my house, I have no escape huh?
