The Fallen Angel Himari - Chapter 28 Siblings Back Together Pt.2
“Oh yeah Vivian I forgot to tell you I changed my name! I’m now called Reiki.”
“Really? I did too! I’m Himari now!” They both chatted away easily forgetting Haru.
When Himari, Reiki, and Haru came back the air was hostile and unfriendly. ” I’m scared…” Himari knew what she had done wrong but was afraid of the punishment so she clung onto Reiki. When she opened the door the murderous aura only increased and she felt like crying.
“R-Rei….” She went to her only pillar of hope but was ruthlessly turned away by her beloved sister. When Rei turned away not meeting her gaze Himari felt her whole world shatter. She slumped to the ground and all of the color and shine in her eyes disappeared only leaving behind a shell.
Rei’s defenses dissolved after seeing her life-less body hit the floor and everything fading away from her. Eva freaked out ((”’|)/) and was the only nurse who could actually help Himari but due to her unfortunately terrible and fragile personality, treatment was delayed.
Once again the Serina and Eva duo were at it again trying to bring Himari back. Rei also helped too trying to say anything nice about her to get her back up. Kiroko didn’t care too much about the noise and went to feed Chizue.
Meanwhile Takemi was playing cards with Aria and waited for Himari. Haru raided the fridge and Reiki stood at the door confused as to how she could have gotten this many friends while he was gone. And Kira went home to take a bath.
“Ahem.” Suddenly all of the commotion stopped as they heard a new unfamiliar voice. But unfortunately Reiki and Vivian knew who it was. Vivian shot up and ran as fast as she could but the back of her shirt was caught by a woman in long blue hair with only a small bow at the very end keeping it all together. When Vivian saw her she shuddered and tried harder to escape.
“You meanie! I did so much for you and Shinji but you two ran away not even leaving a note!” She kept a smile on her face at all times and her eyes never opened.
“Urrkkk…” Vivian felt a strong headache coming as her ‘mother’ -Fumiko- kept ranting about how mad she was when she found out her and Shinji ran away. Shinji also had to get a long lecture and the two of them were visibly tired of it.
Hell, just being in the room took 10 years off of everybody’s life. Then Vivian couldn’t take it anymore and snapped back, “You’re acting as if you were the best mom ever! But in reality, it was only me and Shinji taking care of ourselves! If we were lucky we’d see you at least once a month! And that’s going by earth’s global clock!”
The two kept going back and forth and furniture was thrown. Reiki was weakly intervening but that didn’t stop them at all. Haru had to finally pull Vivian away and everybody left.
“As punishment, I’m staying with you.” Fumiko had already made herself a cup of green tea and was calmly drinking it on one of the cushions to Himari’s chabudai(1) while Vivian erupted again, “Hell no, you old hag!” Fumiko clung onto Vivian and started begging, “Pleeeaaaassseeee I need to! The kid’s I’m babysitting now are total assholes! You and Shinji were always so calm, but now I can’t even get a moment of fucking peace! Take me baaaccckkkkk!”
“No! How the hell did you even find me?!”
“Huehuehue I used evil means…” Vivian’s face turned pale at the thought of Mikazuki possibly finding her. She turned to Shinji and said fearfully, “What if Mikazuki finds me?”
The atmosphere in the room turned stale and worry clouded Vivian’s mind. Reiki patted her head and comforted her, “Don’t worry we’ll definitely be able to take her! Now with your new friends It’ll at least be easier to take only her down!” Vivian still looked uncertain but finally nodded.
She then remembered something and turned into Himari, “Hello Fumiko, I’m Himari and,” Himari pulled Reiki to her side, “And this is Reiki Ichika! I also have a adorable sister, Rei. Remember to call us by our names.”
Fumiko ignored her and looked around for Rei seemingly excited, “So where is the little cutie?” Himari inwardly sighed and sat down on a cushion and turned the t.v. on. Shinji sat down as well and Rei came in with snacks.
Vivian looked out the sliding glass door and frowned. “It looks like it’s about to snow. Maybe I should buy a Kotatsu (2). It is getting colder outside…”
Rei nodded and offered her suggestion, “Sis there’s a shopping plaza near by my school and a shopping district a little farther away. Maybe we should go there tomorrow. I don’t have school so I’ll be able to do it.”
Vivian nodded and turned to Reiki, who was to busy eating snacks to listen and tapped him. “Hm?” His red hair whipped around so fast that it made Vivian chuckle, “Wanna come to a shopping plaza with me and Rei? There probably isn’t much food here for the four of us and It’ll be nice exploring the area.”
“Sure! Then I won’t have to worry about you not getting my favorite snacks.”
“Hey!” Vivian pouted. Fumiko’s smile grew and she turned towards Vivian, “Let me come too! Just as Reiki said, I wanna get some snacks too and get more furniture for my room.”
Vivian smiled happily at the peaceful atmosphere, and simply watched as Rei offered to give a tour of the house. Reiki laughed as Fumiko teased a embarrassed Rei and the world seemed it couldn’t be a better place right at that moment.
Vivian’s eye’s lit up with determination to protect her happy home from anyone who dared to try and destroy it. She pushed away the thought and came back into the conversation, “Alright then tomorrow let’s have a day out!”
