2 Bloom-2: The Spider's Web▼

"Half an hour passed"

According to Mrs. Katsura's command, Gina and Mariko took the siblings to bedroom that's over yonder. The room had great light effects, well furnished and was luxurious; coloured in pink. Gina smiled at them.

-This is our bedroom. Mom says you all will stay with us.

-You three! Look at the cornered bed, it's yours!

Ezero gulped, looked at cornered of the two beds. Himiko puffed non-chalantly. Maria expressed gratitude behalf of her siblings. Mariko huffed turning around.

-Hey, we don't need that. It's worthless. Just don't nag around our parents.

Gina trampled over Mariko's foot. She winced. Gina admonished her with her facial gesture. Mariko apologised silently in response. Gina looked Maria.

-Don't mind her. She's childish.

-Al—Alright.

-Now, I'll check what's mom doing, you, feel comfortable here.

Maria nods. By then Gina dragged Mariko far away and expressed exasperation.

-Have you forgotten what mom convinced us with?

-Oops. I won't repeat again.

-You better remember that next time. You know what happens when we disobey mom.

-Oh no. You don't have to remind me that.

Gina went left to find Mrs.Katsura and Mariko to the right to invigilate those siblings fearing if they steal her treasure.

ꕥHappenings after Arrival|ꕥ

Mrs. Katsura convinced her daughters privately. She instigated them if they listened as she said, she'll buy them new toys, dresses, cosmetics and so on what they desire. And threathed if they didn't from that moment she'll never buy them anything anymore.

-I get it, mom.

-Don't worry, your daughters will handle this.

-Shuush, one of you invigilate on them. We'll see what to do with this after your father comes back.

-Alright.

-Now, go. Do what is told.

They nodded and went away while Mrs. Katsura took the telephone to make a call.

Mariko walked in but seeing the siblings talking she hide away. Maria has been consolidating Himiko and Ezero's spirit.

-Don't—worry Ezo-chan.

-W—Why can not I? Where's —is mama?

-And where's —dad—daddy?

-Oh! Mommy and daddy will be back soon.

-Yay!!

-W—Who said that?

-A lady approached and said that.

-She must've known our parents.

While Mariko eavesdropping them a thought crossed her mind: "You think your parents are coming back? Don't make me laugh. They are dead! And you neither have a mom or a dad!"

Soon, Mariko walked into the room. Ezero got startled. Himiko glared at her. Mariko shouted.

-Hey! What do you think you are doing?!

-Eh?

She saw a doll in Ezero's hand. Ezero looked at her hands. Thinking of good, she went to give it back to Mariko.

-Ta—Take it back, big sister.

-You....!!

Shouting loud Mariko pushed away Ezero. Ezero fall down on the floor. Maria rushed to pick her up. Sooner that, Ezero cried out. Himiko glared at Mariko with anger picking up the doll.

-What!? Why are staring at me like that? Haven't you ever seen someone beautiful as me?

-Yo—You. Keep your mouth shut.

-You have a big mouth sibling of a thief.

-Don't you say that—She didn't steal that doll! Take back this stupid doll of yours!

-How dare you called it stupid!? You are the stupid here! Why should I believe you?!

Himiko ignored Mariko and she got exasperated. Maria shouted at the same time shutting Ezero's mouth with gesture then pointed at Mariko.

-Your doll was on the floor, it was dirty. So Ezo-chan, decided to put it up. She hasn't stolen it.

-You..!! You are a thief yourself! Now, you want to cover for your sins?!

Timely, Mrs. Katsura entered with a worried face. She looked at the siblings then at Mariko.

-What is this, Mariko?

-That Ezero, she tried to steal my doll, mom! I caught her red handed.

Mrs. Katsura looked at Ezero. Ezero timidly accentuated of her innocence.

-I—Didn't! The doll was lying on floor. I—Picked it.

Himiko and Maria covered Ezero's back, they contrasted against Mariko.

-Mariko pushed her!

-She kept calling us thieves!

Mrs.Katsura pulled Mariko's ear. She winced and Gina entered at the same time.

-Have you forgotten your word, naughty child?

-S—Sorry mom!

-I told you to be nice with your little sisters and what did you do? You pushed your little sister Ezero.

-She's not my sister!

-Enough. Let your father come home, I'll complaint you.

-No, no, no! Not to dad!!!

Mariko looked at Gina hopelessly. Gina lamented on Mariko's stupidity.

-Apologise, Mariko.

-Ok!! I'm sorry –MY LITTLE– sisters!!

Soon, Mrs. Katsura grounded Mariko and she ran away. She told Gina to make Mariko realise her mistakes. Gina left. Mrs. Katsura carried Ezero and showed affection.

-Baby, are you alright? Does it pains much?

-A little.

-Let me embrocate ointment on it. After that let's eat.

The siblings happily nodded. A few minutes after embrocating, she specially took them; making them eat on the dinning table aside she fed them constantly.

〈🅜︎Ⓐ︎Ⓡ︎Ⓘ︎🅚︎🅞︎'Ⓢ︎ 🅣︎Ⓡ︎Ⓔ︎Ⓐ︎Ⓢ︎Ⓤ︎🅡︎Ⓔ︎〉

Gina looked for Mariko in the entire mansion. She became quite tired. Finally, she figured her out in "Toys' Collection" room. Gina puffed.

-Hey, Mariko? Where have you been all this time? I got tired finding you.

-Ugh. You didn't cover me. Don't talk with me. Even mom punishment me infront of those brats.

-You, dummy didn't understand mom.

-What do you mean?

-If you think mom's that kind to them then you are wrong of her intentions.

-Huh?! I sneaked while ago and saw her feeding them then she warmed them with blankets. She even kissed them goodnight!!! She doesn't love me anymore.

-Shut up. You can't question at her. Look, you'll get it soon. Dad is back. He wants to see us, his only baby girls.

-Um!

They started laughing looking at each others face. Further did go to welcome their father, Mr. Katsura.

〈🅟︎Ⓡ︎Ⓘ︎Ⓥ︎Ⓐ︎Ⓣ︎🅔︎ 🅡︎Ⓞ︎Ⓞ︎🅜︎〉

After Gina and Mariko entered Mrs. Katsura closed the door and curtained the windows. Mr. Katsura turned around as soon as they greeted him.

-Gina, Mariko, don't bring trouble.

-We are extremely sorry, dad. We won't repeat it.

-That's the spirit, my darling daughters.

Mrs. Katsura intertwined her hand with Mr.Katsura glaring with affection.

-Dear, what should we do with those kids? Why did we take them in, in the first place?

-You women aren't smart enough to understand my intentions. That lawyer made it clear that they are the inherents of huge properties of Akamatsu's. Fortunately, their parents died. And you should know that we are her distant relatives.

-Is it so?

-I, Katsura Akashi is Akamatsu Yukio's cousin. Now that, we have them with us, when they grow up a bit older, we'll snatch their properties without letting them notice. We'll be more rich than anyone!

-Great! Darling, you are brilliant! That's the reason I admire you!

-Kanako, I want you to nourish them. Don't let them out of sight.

-You have me by your side, dear.

-And Gina-Mariko you two don't misbehave with them. Establish a good relationship with them.

-Sure, dad.

-After Katsura's inherits everything from them, they are the beggars of the street. You two can do whatever with them. Got it?

-Yes.

The Katsuras' begun laughing. Katsura Akashi's words boosted Gina and Mariko's spirit. Kanako will be on move from now on. The traps are set.

-Now, who will save you, Akamatsus'?
