Last time Tempus was summoned. Aoi is shocked. My mom talks to Tempus.
Do you remember the story I told you. I want to live a life full of happiness. Tempus Magic will never let me. As she said, I can see anyone's fate. Even my own. Megumi replied. So tell me, Yumeko. What will chose? Tempus asked. I know if I do the Second option, I will become miserable and give into despair. If I do the first option, my family and I will live happily. Megumi replied. You are being rebellious again. That's what got you into trouble before. Tempus replied. You will not dictate my life and happiness. I know I fell in love with someone. Only difference is I got married to the father of my children. My husband loves me not fetishize me. Megumi replied. That maybe true but a goddess's beauty is one thing. After bringing him back, you failed to tell him you warped his lifespan. That's what got you in trouble. Only Gods have that privilege. Tempus replied. Megumi's adverted her eyes. Mom don't tell me. Dad's life span is intact of yours? I asked. Yeah I didn't realize this until one day he cut himself badly at work. He was told to go home early. He came home and told him to let me look at it. When I looked. I felt my magic inside of him healing all his ailments. Megumi replied. That is the equivalent exchange. Aoi replied. Yes, I never knew how to tell him. Megumi replied. Mom, you need to tell him? I asked. Tempus even if I get magic back. I want to know will this create a disturbance? Megumi asked. No not really. I know what your choice will be and it will save your husband. Also leading to many other factors. Tempus replied. What are you up too? Megumi asked. Oh you figure out in 20 years. Give or take. Tempus replied. She smiles and walks away. Mom, what is your choice? I asked. Tempus knows how I am. I'll always find a loophole. Megumi replied. Wait mom what do you mean? I asked. I'm going to get my magic back soon and your father won't loose his life. While yes, Tempus comes off as a bitch but deep down. We are the only family she has. Her own family looks down on her. Megumi replied. We are? I asked. Yes we are and Kagami is a key player in this. Megumi replied.
At the moment when Tempus was here with us. I felt her twisted emotions of a facade she gave off. I wonder why she's like this? I thought.
After my mom left. We kissed each other. He pinned me down on the couch. I was surprised. He picked me up in princess hold. I looked at him. Did he pick me up with ease? I thought. We entered into my room. He turned the lights down low.
He laid me on my bed. I put my arms around his neck. We kissed again. He took his shirt and pants off. I pulled my short romper down. I've touched his chest like last time. He looked me with lascivious eyes. He vigorously kissed from my neck down to my navel. My body was like hot again. Aoi caressed my thighs again. Then his hands went somewhere else. Usually I would into any guy who did this without my permission but for some moment I felt like I should let it pass. The next morning I woke up to the smell of breakfast. But as I woke up. I wanted to see what Aoi cooked. Instead I fell to the ground. What the hell? This has never happened to me before? I thought. Poppy video chat with me. I reached for phone on the nightstand.
Poppy: Bitch, what's wrong with you?
I smiled in pain.
Poppy: Well that's what you get for sleeping with an incubus.
Me: Wait you were serious?
Poppy: When have I ever lied to you?
Me: Fair.
Aoi walks upstairs.
Are you ok? Aoi asked. I fell. Don't worry. I replied.
Poppy: Look at what you did to her.
Me: Poppy.
Poppy: I tease.
Aoi walked down stairs.
Poppy text Aoi.
Poppy: How does it feel to know she's finally yours?
Aoi: That is true. I also told her the truth about my current situation.
Poppy: How you are reanimated corpse. How long until.
Aoi: Until Deirdre release me from her spell.
Poppy: Do you know when?
Aoi: No.
Poppy: How do you not know?
Aoi: I was brought back for a purpose. After that purpose is down I will turn to dust and Deirdre will collect my soul. She can reanimate me whenever she pleases.
Poppy: That's sick as fuck.
Aoi: I know that. Tempus said she'll break her leash on me.
Poppy: Tempus will release you.
Aoi: Is that so?
Kaoru? Aoi asked.
Poppy hangs up.
I mustered enough strength to get up. I thought. I'm coming! I yelled. As I took a quick shower and brushed my teeth. He was surprised I was in his black hoodie. What? Your hoodie is very comfortable. I replied. Aoi looked at me. You can have it. I have many more at my house. Aoi replied. Did he just blurt that out? I thought. Come on, I wanted to see what your making. I went to reach with my right arm to open the oven. He grabbed my arm. Then he kissed me. Good morning. I replied. Kaoru, it's not ready. You'll burn yourself. Aoi replied. Alright, it smells good. I replied. Have this. Aoi replied. I grabbed the mug of Chai Tea. I sensed he watch me as I walked way. The timer went off and Aoi took the Bacon-Broccoli Quiche cups so they can cool.
Ally texted me.
Ally: I heard from Poppy he blew your back out.
I choked on my Chai Tea. Ally sent you something crazy? Aoi asked. You could say that. I replied.
Me: I'll text you after I eat breakfast.
Ally: Breakfast?
Ally: Look at you Kaoru. He's handsome and he can cook.
I put my phone in my pocket. We prayed over the food. We ate breakfast.
Licht text Aoi.
Licht: Hey I heard you got the girl.
Licht: So did you blow her back out? I'm curious.
Aoi: Mind your business. Don't ask questions like that. I'm about to eat.
Licht: Count yourself blessed Aoi. I feel she's a keeper.
Aoi looked at his phone. Licht sent you something outlandish? I asked. Yup, I already know what to expect. Aoi replied. As we ate I thought about what Aoi told me that night. I felt my phone ring in my pocket. Come to my surprise Lile called me.
Me: Lile it's been a minute.
Lile: I know. I heard about what happened to you. Em and I are coming in a few weeks.
Me: Lile, who are you two staying with?
Lile: Your mom said we can stay with her because they have a spare cars here.
Me: Yeah Ren and my old cars.
Lile: I'm surprised you left it here.
Me: My mom told us we can leave the cars there for guest when they visit.
Em: Kaoru are you ok?
Me: Of course.
Em: Yeah Kaoru is too ambitious to let death take her.
Me: Damn right. Tell me when you are coming in. I want you to meet Poppy and Rumiko.
Lile: Alright. See you then.
Aoi looks at me with a deadpan expression. You know I'm still watching over you a little longer after what Tempus said. Aoi replied. Is that so wrong? I asked. No. Aoi replied. Now, Aoi and I are dating. I have gained a sudden peace within myself. For the time being.
Elsewhere Ally and Katsu get a bodyguard job. Little did Ally know who her clients were.
