Book Three: Chapter Fourteen: Salem’s Family Affair Part 1

Last time a few people of the church arrived to check on Barachiel. My dad and a few previous Ono Retainers appeared.

Dad, who is that woman? Salem asked. The Incubus and Sociopath? Ryu asked. Another story for another time. Ryu replied. Don't dodge my questions. Salem replied. So you aren't telling him. It's actually for the best to be honest. Gabriel replied. Everyone should get home and get plenty of rest. Megumi replied. As everyone left, a beautiful woman smiled from the tallest building. Hello Ryu. Rae replied. What do you want Jemisha? Ryu asked. Don't play stupid with me. You called me here. Jemisha replied. I never did such a thing. Ryu yelled. No Salem did. Jemisha replied. Dad, stop dodging my questions. Salem replied. You've been wanting to meet your mother for a long time. This is Temptress of Luxuria, Jemisha Samar. She's your biological mother. Ryu replied. Salem is surprised. Dad, why would you choose this red flag? Salem asked. It a long story for another time. Ryu replied. I'm not a red flag. Your father is the man who bought me out, Salem. Jemisha replied. He discarded me after he bought me out. Leaving me for your stepmother. Jemisha replied. Salem adverted her guise. Don't you love living. You bought out a well known killer. She is know for the way to murders her victims. Salem replied. Let me guess, you've been calling that woman mother all this time, hmm? Jemisha asked. I want to know why you lied to me all this time? Salem yelled. He looked at her eyes. I remember those bright Lavendar eyes. You saved me on multiple occasions. Even after I fought a few months ago. Salem replied. Of course, I have always looked over you. You are my one and only child, Salem. Jemisha replied. She jumped down and hugged Salem. Mom, can I ask you question? Salem replied. Ask away. Jemisha asked. Are you the enemy. I wasn't sent here for you. Jemisha replied. Ryu summoned a sword. But for your dear father. Jemisha replied. She had a malicious grin. Salem looked back and saw his mother attack my dad. Jemisha summoned her sword. They were moving so fast. Salem couldn't catch them. You should leave, Salem. Amaris replied. Jemisha threw a dagger near her head. What else are you going to take from me, Amaris? Jemisha asked. Amaris, you need to run! Ryu replied. You have my son calling you mother?! Jemisha yelled. She grabs Ryu by his hair. I told you messing with her would be a world of trouble. Kanon replied. Kanon. Ryu replied. Jemisha threw him to down to the ground. Jem, much as you want to get even with those two. Ryu is more at fault. Aunt Kanon, you knew of all this? Salem asked. Yes, I told you not to call Amaris mother on purpose. Jemisha was alive and he was aware of it. He just didnt care. Kanon replied. Jemisha and Salem looked down at Ryo with such disgust. Unfortunately, Jem we need you to help fight Diavolo. Kanon replied. I am apart of Diavolo. Jemisha replied. Let me guess. You wanted to see Salem and killed Ryu? Kanon asked. Jemisha smiled. Your anger is somewhat justified. Jemisha, this man is the one who bought you out? Aibek asked. He kicked Ryu in the side. Ryu grunted. So you found your older brother? Kanon asked. Older brother? Ryu thought. You got some nerve. My Jemisha actually was in love with you! Then you discarded her for her! Aibek yelled. Wait, Aibek. He is trying to say something. Jemisha replied. We're taking him with us. Orders are orders. Aibek replied. I don't have strength to summon a sword or fight back. Ryu thought. Ryu! Amaris yelled. Don't intervene, Amaris. I warned him of this. Kanon replied. Aunt Kanon should I? Salem asked. No, we are leaving. Let your mom and uncle will capture him. Kanon replied. She grins. Don't kill him. Kanon replied. I won't make any promises. Jemisha replied. Jem, try to think about Salem and what effect that will have on him. Kanon replied. Salem and the other two walk away. Salem looks at his father shakes his head. Ryu passed out.

Aunt Kanon, will they kill him? Salem asked. No, they will interrogate him. Kanon replied. I see. Salem replied. Don't worry Salem. Your mom still has a soft spot. Kanon replied. Why could you say that? Amaris replied. Ask him what their "true relationship" is.
