31 Akeno and Shuri

---Akeno POV

My name is Akeno Himejima, I will talk a little about my day, it was like any other. I got up early and went to say hello to my mother.

She was a beautiful woman, with a voluptuous body, big violet eyes, a friendly smile and long dark hair, she was always surrounded by a cheerful air, sometimes she tells me that when I grow up we will be looking almost the same. At least I'm happy that I'm going to be a very beautiful girl in the future.

My mother looked at me when I went to the kitchen and slowly approached me while cleaning her hands with her apron.

Shuri: "Hello little one, will you take a bath first? Breakfast will be ready soon." Her voice was very affectionate and it was something I liked about her very much.

I nodded and gave her a big hug before heading to the shower.

When I got out of the shower and sat down to eat, I could see that she was looking at me.

Akeno: "What's wrong mom?" I tilted my head to the side as I asked.

Shuri: "Oh, nothing my daughter, it is just that I was thinking we should buy another house."

Akeno: "Another house? ... Why?" I'm very curious so I decided to ask.

Shuri: "You see ... Many people have been hanging around nearby this location and it would be better to avoid problems."

Well, I was only a girl, I can´t understand these problems, so I just nodded and decided to act smart, unfortunately, this was seen by my mother who smiled.

After breakfast I decided to go out and play, there were many nice children nearby and we always played together.

Shuri: "Little Girl, don´t stay out late." My mother shouted at me from the house, I just smiled back, before running again to the nearby park.

It was a safe place because there were always many parents and almost everyone knew my mother, so they took care of me because of her.

Before arriving at the park I noticed that ten people in long white robes looked like monks or something similar, but I did not pay attention to them and continued towards my destination.

Himejima 1: "Is that girl?" An old man asked who pointed at Akeno in the distance.

Himejima 2: "What's up, sir?" He asked the middle-aged man.

Himejima 1: "Nothing, I got confused, let's keep looking."

They continued on their way to the nearby residences.

--- Shuri Himejima POV

It had been four hours since Akeno left home, I was cleaning the house.

I did not worry much about Akeno because mothers in the park tend to take care of her when I'm not there, and with what I've taught her, she can protect herself from normal people.

I was about to go to another room when I heard the door open.

Shuri: "Akeno, is that you?" I went to the door, but immediately I was motionless. "What are you doing here?"

Suō Himejima: "Surprised? ... You wouldn´t think we would let a traitor like you be alive, right."

Shuri: "I ... I don´t belong to your family anymore, you have exiled me already, what are you doing here!?"

Suō Himejima: "It is obvious that we would exile you, you were the best of the clan, but you decided to betray us because of a simple fallen angel!"

Shuri: "It's not your problem what I do from now on, I no longer belong to your clan ... leave my house, please." I wanted them to leave, Akeno would be back soon and I did not want them to see my daughter.

Suō Himejima: "Impossible, even though you were exiled, it will not get you out of your punishment, and where is your fallen angel now, huh? He is not even able to protect you."

Even though his words were true, I bit my lips and my eyes were full of anger, but I could not attack them, they were bigger in numbers and I couuld not do anything against them.

It's been a while since I quit fighting and I lost my skills.

Suō Himejima approached me until he was in front of me and looked me in the eyes.

Suō Himejima: "Do you regret it?"

Shuri: "Never ..."

* PLASH *

It sounded like a slap, when Suō Himejima hit me on my cheek throwing me to the ground.

Shuri: "Does hitting really make you happy?" I smiled at his behavior. "Do you think everything will be resolved like this? So typical of you."

Suō Himejima: "No, maybe I can not solve it, but I can resolve my rage." After speaking, he kicked me in the belly making air, squeezing from her stomach, come out of my mouth.

Suō Himejima: "It's unfortunate how you ended up, you were our future and you ended up being the bitch of a fallen one, you embarrassed me."

He went forward to try to hit me again, but then he heard the front door open and a small girl stood in front of me in defense.

Akeno: "Get away from my mom!"

Suō Himejima: "Mom?" Everyone's face turned somber, if before it was only punishing, now it was impossible.

Suō Himejima: "YOU HAVE A DAUGHTER OF THAT BASTARD!" He screamed with rage while his energy went crazy due to the anger..

Shuri: "Akeno go away! Go now!"

Akeno: "No, I will protect mother." Ending the conversation, I look at Suō Himejima clenching his fists.

Suō Himejima who was really out if, just took her by the head.

Akeno was a seven-year-old girl. What could she do? There is no system like Yukios to be able to go against someone of Medium Rank.

Akeno: "L-let me go!" She screamed trying to hit Suō Himejima.

Suō Himejima: "As if that is possible ... you are a damned dishonor Shuri."

He threw Akeno at me, who was beaten and a subordinate gave him a sword.

Suō Himejima: "I really did not want to do this, but you have done more than just slander the clan."

Me seeing the actions of Suō Himejima knew what he planned to do.

I got up and stood in front of Akeno just in time.

A sword dug into my stomach and I spat blood, falling to my knees.

The only thing that was in my mind was: "Why? Why did you not come to defend us ... You promised to take care of us and look at us now."

Akeno: "M-mmamaa !!" She ran to my side and hugged me.

Suō Himejima: "Do you think you I did not know you would do that?"

Shuri: "Please, let her live, you don´t have to do this!" I looked at my daughter and whispered softly: "Go, Akeno, get away from this place."

Akeno: "No, * Sniff * no, I will not, * Sniff * I have to defend you." She spoke through tears, she whispered, I could only bite my lips.

Shuri: "It's not the time for this, please, daughter, run away." I pleaded, I could barely stand the pain.

Akeno was with a pale face and did not know what to do, but she did not want to escape.

Suō Himejima: "You know, it's a shame but I'm not going to let you live anymore." He raised another sword with the intention of killing the mother-daughter duo.

But there was a tension in the air suddenly and a cold and macabre voice sounded.

???: "That's funny ... Because I also wanted to massacre you." Before the subordinates reacted, they began to blow up, heads and arms were everywhere.

And in front of me and Akeno, a child appeared covered in blood, holding a black sword that still drips blood.

Yukio looked up at Suō Himejima.

Yukio: "Would you like to die like minced meat or eat your own heart?" A strong pressure fell on Suō Himejima who began to sweat.

Yukio: "You don´t have to decide because I already did ... it's time to die old bastard."
