Reunion part 2

Cleria heard the commotion in the living room and figured that Kisuke's mother, Sakura Urahara returned. She did some final adjustments to what she's cooking and turned down the heat to let it simmer.

Cleria then put away her apron and exited the kitchen to see who seems to be Kisuke's mother and introduced herself, "Oh, you're here. Nice to meet you, Sakura-san. I'm Kyoko Seo, I hope... we..."

But as Cleria carefully inspects Sakura's face while she introduces herself, a certain someone with a similar face flashed in her mind, and she started trembling. A person that disappeared long ago. Her precious little sister, "...Sa... Sarah?" And due to that, she ended up calling her name while reaching out her arms to her.

'Although she's a lot more mature now and her hair is now pale blond in color, I can't mistake that face! Although some corners of her face changed due to aging and her demeanor is now completely different, I can't mistake her! Although she is now emitting a human's aura, I can't be mistaken! Sarah!' Cleria kept trembling in anticipation and nervousness as she tries to reach out to her face with tears starting to gather from the corner of her eyes, 'Is this real?'

However, Sakura doesn't share her feelings. Due to her identity and the nature of how she escaped from her previous life, she very sensitive to those who knew her. So when the guest suddenly called her with her previous name, she instantly reacted. For the first time in many years, she released her sleeping Demonic Power and her aura instantly changed.

Kisuke also reacted when he suddenly felt Demonic Power surfaced from his mother and sealed their whole house with a concealment barrier. But instead of stopping his mother, Kisuke chooses to observe what will happen. Although he's ready to intercept any harm coming towards Cleria and the two, he trusts his mother that he wouldn't have to do that like Sakura trusts Kisuke will do something when she released her Demonic Power and he did.

With the surge of Sakura's Demonic Power, multiple magic circles surrounded Cleria and one each pointed against Masaomi and Medusa, "Who are you!?" She also wanted to point a magic circle on Claire but she couldn't bear to do so.

Cleria stopped her steps and blankly looked at Sakura. She didn't expect that she would instantly threaten them, and based on the amount of Demonic Power gathering, it won't be easy for her to survive. But instead of getting scared, she's feeling happy, 'This Demonic Power... It's really her!'

Medusa wanted to assist Cleria to block the impending attacks but Yoruichi unknowingly arrived beside her and blocked her path resulting in Medusa then gave her a questioning glare. Although it's Kisuke's mother who she is going against, she's indebted to Cleria for taking care of her so it's obvious that she would take her side.

Yoruichi understands her intention so she sent her a telepathic message, 'It's fine. If something bad is about to happen, that guy would be the first one to stop it.'

After hearing her message, Medusa calmed down but she didn't put down her guard and watched the situation carefully in case she needs to do something.

Masaomi, however, doesn't know what's going on and panicked. He immediately secured Claire in his arms and called out to his wife in concern, "Cleria!"

But instead of his wife, Sakura is the one who reacted to his call, "Cle...ria? Cleria!?" She immediately looked back to Cleria who's still staring at her face and thought, 'No... That isn't Cleria-neesama! It was already confirmed that she died a decade ago so it's impossible! Besides, she looks so different and she isn't even using magic to hide her appearance!... Wait... Appearance?... Disguise...?' When her thought process reached this point, she suddenly remembered that Kisuke brought them here and knowing how his son works, an idea flashed in her mind, '...Could it be...?'

Sakura glanced at her son who is currently watching from the side carefully, 'If that is true, does he knows something and decided to let the two of us meet? Or is it just a coincidence?' But instead of thinking about this, she shook her head and looked back to Cleria, 'But how could that be? Everyone in the Underworld knew that Cleria-neesama died... Fake news?'

Cleria could see the confusion in her precious little sister when she heard her name and remembered that she's still wearing the face-changing device and aura concealing bracelet that Kisuke gave them. Cleria first inspected the surroundings and finally noticed that Kisuke already deployed a barrier. She then first gave Masaomi and her daughter a reassuring look before removing her disguise, revealing her true appearance and aura. Cleria doesn't know why she would meet 'Sarah' here, but instead of approaching her like what she's doing earlier, she's letting 'Sarah' decide.

Seeing the 'real' Cleria, it's Sakura's turn to tremble. The magic circles started to disappear one by one and Sakura's Demonic Power also subsided. As if mimicking Cleria's actions earlier, Sakura slowly approached Cleria while trembling and reaching her arms out, "Cleria-neesama...?" She muttered.

Cleria smiled brightly while tears flowing from her eyes, "Sarah... It's really you." She couldn't take it anymore so she immediately jumped in Sakura's arms while sobbing, "Sarah!"

Sakura, in turn, also hugged her tightly while sobbing, feeling the nostalgic warmth of her sister, "Cleria-neesama!"

The two of them called each other's names over and over again for a good few minutes to reassure each other's existence. Masaomi and Medusa are dumbfounded at this sight as they didn't expect it at all. From a normal meeting to a verge of battle and then to a happy reunion. Who could expect that at all? They both looked at Kisuke and Yoruichi and they both have differing expressions.

Yoruichi has a similar expression as she didn't expect this at all, 'Seriously? It turns out that one of the people Kisuke saved coincidentally a decade ago is his aunt!? What are the chances!?' And she then glanced at Kisuke who is now furrowing her brows and seems to be thinking of something else already, 'T-this guy... He already knew of this possibility and is now thinking of the future.' She couldn't help but smile wryly.

And indeed, Kisuke already saw this possibility, but that doesn't mean he isn't shocked by this. It's just that he recovered faster than everyone and started thinking of what could this newfound knowledge for him and those around him, 'Hmm... Though this one of the possibilities, it's still surprising to confirm it. Now then, a lot more questions opened up with this, mainly my mother's lineage. She's so good in hiding her aura that I can't confirm that she's really a Devil from the Belial House.

'Now that I confirmed that she's really a Devil, the question is how she managed to hide it from me. Although I didn't specifically try to pry her secrets, I'm pretty confident with my senses.

'The next big question is whether she's a Half-Devil or a reincarnated Devil like Asia and Issei. Although their aura is a mix of Human and Devil, something is different from mom. If she's really a Half-Devil instead of a reincarnated one, then what about me? I know my body well and I'm sure that I don't have a trace of Devil's blood in me... So how?'

Kisuke kept thinking for a few minutes for the possibilities and theories but still can't find something that would fit his situation, 'I'm overlooking something here... Although it's possible to weaken a lineage to the point of almost non-existent, it's impossible to remove it completely. So where is my Devil's blood? And how was it removed without me being aware?... Wait... That's it!'

Kisuke tried to recall the first time he became aware of himself and that is a few months after his birth, 'That's should be the time that something happened to me without me being aware. And the one who can help me answer my question is...'

'You rang~?' Before he could finish his thoughts, Benihime's voice resounded in his head.
