Mitsuko held Matsuri closely and stroked her hair softly
"Shhhh calm down" Mitsuko said and kissed her head softly. She sighed and looked at the customers
I have to close up the shop early for today...
"I'm sorry everyone but I must ask that you all leave immediately. I'm closing up shop early today because of an emergency" Mitsuko said and all the customers left. Mitsuko closed the shop and carried Matsuri in her arms
"H-huh? Mitsuko?" Matsuri asked. Mitsuko just held her and walked to her place. Matsuri just blushed and laid her head against her chest then smiled a bit enjoying her warmth
Mitsuko was always the one comforting me. She held me in her arms and always kissed me
Flashback
Matsuri cried as she had a bruise on her knee
"Don't cry Matsuri. It'll get healed soon" Mitsuko said and held her closely. Matsuri sniffed and cried on Mitsuko's shoulder
"There there...I'm here" Mitsuko whispered as she stroked her hair softly. Matsuri blushed and smiled enjoying her warmth and touch
"O-onee-chan...will you still take care of me?" Matsuri asked
"Hm? What are you talking about? Of course I will still take care of you" Mitsuko said
"B-but I mean...when I'm older..." Matsuri said
"What do you mean?" Mitsuko asked
"Wh-what if I'm still a l-little baby when I grow up? I feel like I will never be mature or act like an adult..." Matsuri said as she looked down. Mitsuko lifted her face up and smiled
"You will forever be my baby sister..." Mitsuko said and kissed her nose softly. Matsuri blushed and smiled
"Thanks Onee-chan..." Matsuri said
End Of Flashback
Heh...guess I was right. I'm still a little baby...
Matsuri had tears built up in her eyes again and cried a bit. Mitsuko just held her closely and arrived at her place. She walked inside closing the door and placed Matsuri on the couch. Matsuri sat down and looked down as she was wiping her tears. Mitsuko sat down next to her and stroked her hair softly
"Shhhh...calm down. Just tell me what happened..." Mitsuko said
"W-well I was at the cafe with Harumin a-and that asshole Kori showed up. I-I left to go to the bathroom and my friend was there too...she confessed and kissed me. I tried to push her but Harumin showed up and told me that...she needed to think and she left saying that we need a break from each other. I-I..." Matsuri cried and covered her face as her tears were rolling down her cheeks. Mitsuko hugged her closely and stroked her hair softly
"Don't cry Matsuri..." Mitsuko whispered. Matsuri cried on her shoulder and held onto her tightly. Mitsuko held her tightly as well and closed her eyes
"Big sis is here to care and love you..." Mitsuko whispered
"Mitsuko...am I really perfect for Harumin?" Matsuri asked
"You and Harumin are meant to be..." Mitsuko whispered
"B-but...but I screw up a lot. Now Harumin will just leave me alone like everyone else...I'm not good enough for her. She even mentioned that Mei-san would never leave her side and...and...and I just feel so stupid! This shadow thing living inside me! It's driving me insane! This monster thing is the thing that is screwing me up!" Matsuri shouted and cried. Mitsuko hugged her tightly and laid down with Matsuri on top of her
"Calm down...it'll be okay" Mitsuko whispered. Matsuri just cuddled Mitsuko and sniffed. Mitsuko stroked her hair softly and kissed her head softly
"Matsuri...is that why you have dark magic?" Mitsuko asked
"Y-yes...this thing actually saved my life. If it hadn't entered my body...I could've actually died..." Matsuri said
"What's this shadow thing you keep talking about? Does it talk to you?" Mitsuko asked
"I-it does...it keeps saying that it's some guard of the Okogi queen" Matsuri said
"Your friend?" Mitsuko asked
"Yes..." Matsuri said
"And does your friend know about this?" Mitsuko asked
"No...I haven't told her about this yet. Besides I bet she's busy about the whole marriage thing..." Matsuri said
"Does the shadow thing keep bothering you?" Mitsuko asked
"It does but it really doesn't harm no one...not even me. I just get the feeling that whatever I feel....it's what the shadow felt towards the queen" Matsuri said and sat up getting off of Mitsuko
"You're basically saying that the shadow had some relationship with the queen?" Mitsuko asked as she sat up
"Yeah...maybe. I'm not so sure" Matsuri said
"Does it have a name?" Mitsuko asked
"Well...the shadow never told me it's name. I can't even tell if it's a she or he but I named it Devil...since people call me that for my aggressive behavior" Matsuri said and sighed deeply
"Devil huh? Heh...you were always a little devil but a cute one" Mitsuko said which made Matsuri blush
"I-I'm not cute..." Matsuri said
"Oh shut up cutie" Mitsuko said and sat up. Matsuri just blushed and leaned against Mitsuko's chest
Her chest is so soft...and...she's still so beautiful...
Matsuri lifted her head up and her eyes met with Mitsuko's
"What?" Mitsuko asked. Matsuri leaned in and kissed Mitsuko's nose making her blush
"It's just that...y-you're so beautiful. How can you stay so beautiful and young when you're 30?" Matsuri asked
"Shut up. I'm not that old" Mitsuko said
"Hehe...you still look young and beautiful" Matsuri said
"Thanks and you're still cute as ever" Mitsuko said and booped Matsuri's nose
"I-I said don't call me cute" Matsuri said
"Cutie" Mitsuko whispered and laid down on the couch with Matsuri on top of her. Matsuri blushed and just laid her head down on her chest
"Do you think Harumin will forgive me?" Matsuri asked
"Of course she will. Once you tell her about what that bitch did she'll definitely understand...and maybe explain to your friend about that Devil that lives inside you. I mean that information must be useful somehow...don't you think?" Mitsuko asked
"Y-yeah I suppose. Maybe Yuzu-chan might know something..." Matsuri said
"Do you feel better know?" Mitsuko asked as she patted her head softly. Matsuri looked at her and wrapped her arms around her
"Please...embrace me" Matsuri said as she blushed. Mitsuko wrapped her arms around her and hugged her. Matsuri smiled and hugged her back. Mitsuko rubbed her back softly and played with her hair
"Hm? Hey where's your wife?" Matsuri asked as she realized they were alone
"She's at work right now" Mitsuko said
"Okay so...do you think we should go see Yuzu-chan and tell her about this?" Matsuri asked
"Probably" Mitsuko said
"Can we go now?" Matsuri asked
"Sure" Mitsuko said and smiled
"Wait...but before we go...c-can you give me a small kiss?" Matsuri asked as she blushed. Mitsuko's eyes widen and blushed deeply
Wh-what did she just ask me to do?!
"A small kiss?" Mitsuko asked
"Mhm. It's normal. We're sisters right?" Matsuri asked. Mitsuko groaned a bit and leaned in giving her a small peck. Matsuri smiled brightly and giggled
"Thanks Onee-chan. I feel much better now" Matsuri said as she smiled brightly
"Y-you're welcome" Mitsuko said as she was blushing deeply
