24. Warmth

Tsubaki had a nervous expression on her face as she was being patched up by Seri, she didn't have any serious injuries, just some scratches and a sprained ankle. 

She didn't know why but suddenly being cared for brought some sad memories from her mind, because nobody cared about her in her clan, being shunned by her own parents but now these strangers were helping her out. Tsubaki for the first time in her life felt warmth and care after her clan declared her a heretic. 

Her eyes couldn't help but get a little misty as tears started pooling in her eyes as they started rolling down her face, Tsubaki covered her mouth and started sobbing a little. 

But suddenly she felt a warm hand on her head causing her to look up and gaze at Vivian who was gazing at her with a worried expression and this caused something inside Tsubaki to break as she suddenly hugged his waist and buried her face in his chest and started sobbing. 

Tsubaki's sobs resounded in the forest as she poured out all the negative emotions she had been holding back while Vivian just patted her head in comfort because that's what his mother did for him. 

While the others just gazed at this warm scene with a smile...

.....

" Tsubaki, who hurt you? I can beat them up for you! I'm very strong you know! " Vivian tried to look menacing as he flexed his small arms while making a confident expression on his face. 

" I-Its okay, I just fell down and injured myself " Tsubaki said with a small smile as she gazed at Vivian with gratitude. She didn't mention the Shinra clan as she didn't want to cause trouble for Vivian as he was one of the few people who showed her kindness. 

She wondered whether he would also treat her with disgust once he knew about her powers, but she couldn't help but feel deep down that he would not do that.

Tsubaki didn't have anything worthwhile in life and all she received from her relatives who were supposed to love her were hatred and disdain, but Vivian provided her with warmth ....warmth that she longed for all her life. 

Tsubaki never had a clear goal for her future but now she was sure of it, she understood clearly what she wanted in her life. 

Tsubaki turned her gaze towards the beautiful big sister wearing a maid outfit and her eyes were filled with determination....

.....

Next day....

....

Vivian was trying out spear fishing in the river with Tsubaki who was following him while holding a basket in her hand.

He was of course using his Demonic light Spears for it, he could practice aiming them and it was much more fun this way. He was slowly unlocking the powers he has, due to the amalgamation of genes in his body he has access to many powers that he is unaware of. 

Power of Destruction and Demonic Brilliance of Evil Light are two abilities he is currently able to use. He really liked these two powers but he felt his DBEL ( Demonic Brilliance of Evil Light ) was much cooler than his POD. 

But both had their own uses because his POD can make people go boom boom while he can use his DBEL to go stabby stabby...

...

Vivan had a concentrated look on his face as he was glaring at the water while aiming the light spear in his arms, after a few moments Vivian threw the spear in his hands at a fish he had been stalking for the past few minutes. 

The spear lodged into the soil with a splash and it could be seen that Vivian was successful in catching the fish. He ran over excitedly and willed the light spear to vanish causing the fish to struggle a little before laying limp in Vivian's hands. 

"Vivi-sama here! " Tsubaki came to him and respectfully handed out the basket, her address for Vivian had already changed since she had decided to dedicate her life to him. She had nothing in her life worth doing, no purpose or goals. 

For her, who had never received much warmth from the time she could remember, thus she clung to Vivian who was the first person to show her warmth, she wanted to stay near him and help him. 

{In this she unlocked Mirror Alice when she was 1 year old thus she was isolated, Don't bring canon into a fanfic. I have the freedom to write what I want so lemme cook. It's called Fanfiction for a reason. If you want canon go read the light novels or watch the anime..}

Tsubaki was much more mature than normal children her age due to being born into a supernatural family. She maybe 5 years old but she was far more mature than normal children and could understand many things. 

1 day was more than enough for her to make her decision and she wouldn't regret it. She wanted to be like Grayfia who was the maid of Lady Venelana, she wished to serve Vivi-sama and wished to help him as much as possible. 

Her heterochromatic eyes gazed at Vivian with worship as she watched him conjure a black light spear with ease, he was younger than her but he was so much stronger than her. 

Tsubaki felt the determination in her to become stronger, only if she became strong would she be of use to him....
