With smiles on their faces as well as having their hands together and fingers entangled the two walked back to the village which was filled with people
" What's going on? "
Shu questioned as he looked around, confused seeing ever villager forming a singular circle as if to surround something
" They're here it seems! "
Vivian yelled causing every villager to spread apart, letting the boy and Ayami who was next to him stare at what the villagers were once surrounding. Which was Tristen, Ethan, and Vivian, standing behind Vladimir's dead body
" Why are you people moving a dead man's body around? "
Shu questioned as Vivian simply stared at him with anger
" You killed him, even though I begged you not to, my son says you're a good person but you're nothing but a cruel heartless monster! "
Vivian screamed, causing the boy to scratch the back of his head, whilst letting go of Ayami's head to then stare at the three with a calm expression
" I'm going to be completely honest with you, and maybe it's because you're an old lady but your dramatic like personality, is cringing me the fuck out "
Shu replied as he shoved his hands inside of his pockets, staring at the woman who with her now massive anger, charged at the boy, attempting to punch him in the face, but Shu quickly moved to a side dodging her fist just to catch her wrist
" Oh by the way, I enjoyed killing your husband, I didn't show it, but I was smiling inside, laughing even "
Shu whispered in her ear causing the woman to become even angrier but before she could do anything, Shu would quickly hit her on the back of her neck, knocking her unconscious
" What was that all about? "
Ayami questioned as she watched Vivian's body fall on the ground
" Sorry Tristen, it looks like we can no longer be friends "
Shu said as he turned to the boy who simply chuckled, whilst walking over to his mother's body, slowly picking her up with the help of Ethan
" Don't worry, we're still friends, I know that my mom will stay angry at you, but I won't, I'm actually thankful that you killed him, and even if he was my father, I'm glad Vladimir is dead, he caused us a lot of pain even if it was unintentionally. Well, I'll be taking mom back to bed, see you later "
Tristen explained before taking his mother away with the help of Ethan who simply stared at Shu
" Hey "
" Hey.. "
" Hey! "
Ayami yelled as she snapped her fingers in front of the boy's face
" Earth to Shu, hello!?! "
She kept going snapping her fingers ove and over, causing Shu to smile as he grabbed her hand lowering it down
" Sorry for ignoring your earlier question, I had to tend to the ill family "
Shu whispered whilst turning to look at Ayami, causing her to scoff at him before sighing
" Well, now that you're paying me your attention, I'll ask you again, what was all that about? And I don't mean her being mad at you, I mean you antagonizing her "
Ayami questioned causing Shu to tilt his head a bit, starting to follow Tristen back to his small house
" Well, when someone's upset, or sad, they're able to handle their problems easier as long as they target their anger toward someone else "
Shu explained as Ayami, who followed behind simply sighed, proceeding to grab the boy's hand, allowing her fingers to slide into the in-between's of his
" So you intend to let her vent her feelings toward you for as long as she needs to? "
Ayami questioned causing Shu to smoke as he looked up at her
" Pretty much "
He replied, using his free hand to scratch the back of his head, turning his attention to the house they were now standing in front of, being greeted and hugged by Yuyen, who was, according to her reaction, waiting for them
" I'm glad you guys are okay! "
Yuyen loudly said whilst wrapping the two or them with her arms, hugging them tightly before pulling away
" Wait, you guys are okay right? "
Yuyen said, repeating herself as she looked at both of them up and down, stopping the moment her eyes planned on looking up, stopping to look at their hands tangled together
" Hm "
Ayami backed away a bit, letting go of both of them before turning to look at the house
" You can't go in by the way, Tristen doesn't want anyone inside "
Ayami whispered, causing Shu to tilt is head and confusion, he didn't know what her response to them holding their hands was, but Ayami did, which of course made her feel a bit awful about holding Shu's hand in front of her
" Well, we can wait "
Shu replied turning his back Yuyen who could only bite down on her lower lip
" Actually, while we wait, let's hunt down some animals "
He added letting go of Ayami's hand, to then squat down, proceeding to jump into the air, disappearing from the two girls's sight
" So that time, back at Mr Fu's castle when you told me to stop trying to get Shu's attention, you didn't say that because you found me disappointing, but because you liked him also? "
Yuyen whispered, as she turned to look at Ayami who couldn't help but stare the girl in the eyes, seeing that upset yet betrayed look on her face
" Yuyen listen- "
" Shut up, if that's how it is, then I'll take him away from you, I'll have him for myself, I'll make it so that he hates you and only love me "
Yuyen declared, as the color in her red bright eyes disappeared, instead turning into a deep blood like red
" Yuyen what are you talking about? "
Ayami questioned, as Yuyen sighed, asking toward Ayami, to then press the tip of her index finger against Ayami's forehead
" Shu's going to be husband "
Yuyen whispered, before pulling her finger away from Ayami's forehead, proceeding to sit on a rock as they both waited for the boy to come back.
