Chapter 99: Cloying Reunion 1

(Perspective Saori Shirahama)

There are moments in life where everything can take such an abrupt turn that it makes you doubt if you were ever in control of your own life.

I always imagined that I would grow old and die alongside my husband as my children grew up and started their own families.

Not even in my wildest dreams did I imagine that I would reach where I would not only hate my own husband but even fall in love with a teenager the same age as my son.

Since the incident where I was kidnapped with my daughter and then rescued by Luis, my life has been total chaos.

I originally thought to leave my relationship with Luis as a one-time event that would never happen again even if it broke Luis's heart, however, the changes in my environment happened overnight.

That same night Luis disappeared without a trace causing several people to be filled with anguish including my daughter Honoka and myself.

At first I felt angry because Luis left without saying goodbye, then I felt guilty since I thought I broke his heart and that's why he left.

It wasn't until a classmate of my son who was also a friend of Luis mentioned that Luis left after being expelled from the dojo for killing the people who kidnapped me.

I knew how important the dojo was for Luis, since he lost his family the dojo became a second family for him and that was something that we could all notice, that's why it was hard for me to believe that the people in the dojo gave him the back.

Can a person turn his back on his own family?

Even if they weren't related by blood, everyone in that dojo acted like a family so I decided to investigate.

I asked my son first and his answer took my breath away.

"It is true that he did it to protect you and Honoka and I will always be grateful for that, but that does not change that he used his force to take lives, no matter the circumstance, the murder will never be justified" - Kenichi said this with great will and determination.

Normally I would be proud to have a son with such a noble heart but at that moment I had to bite my lip to suppress the need to yell at him and slap him.

As a mother, it makes me happy that my son follows an honest path, but as a person, I feel hurt to see that my son would spare the life of a group of kidnappers who almost raped me.

Worse still, as a woman, I felt furious after realizing that the only person who would do anything to protect me was expelled from what he considered his family.

Although I had sex with Luis for a drug, I cannot deny that it was the greatest pleasure I have ever experienced, which combined with his kindness and the fact that he would rather be shot than abandon me made it inevitable that I would end up falling in love with him.

I tried to argue with the people of the dojo under the pretext that Luis was my savior and he deserved another chance, but the people of the dojo told me that it was impossible to accept Luis again since he did not regret it and said that if necessary he would do again.

I left the place feeling so angry that I almost forced Kenichi to leave the dojo, but I let him continue training because despite my anger he was still my son and I want the best for him.

When I got home a woman came in and got down on her knees apologizing. She was Luis's teacher and from what I could see she and Luis had a closer relationship than a simple disciple and teacher.

I invited her to have tea and we got to know each other better, I also learned that Luis had a harem and although he annoyed me a bit, what surprised me the most is that I did not have a problem with him having several lovers.

I became friends with the woman named Shigure and she began to come to my house every three days to have tea and talk, then Luis's friend named Izumi began to arrive and despite the differences between our ages, we all became friends which was a great relief as Izumi started taking care of Honoka.

Since the abduction incident, my daughter seems to have developed trauma to the outside world and constantly wakes up at night screaming that she wants to see her Onii-chan, not Kenichi, but Luis.

Honoka even started taking online classes as she has a hard time leaving home and only agrees to go out for short periods of time if she is accompanied by Izumi.

After much thought and seeing that my husband was more and more distant without paying the slightest attention to my growing anxiety, I felt that my marriage had come to an end, even if I wanted to deny it was impossible to hide something obvious, I fell in love with Luis and I wanted to be with him.

A few days ago I received a letter from Luis saying that he was coming to visit me because he could not forget his feelings for me and he needed to talk to me in order to continue with his life without interfering with my 'happy marriage'.

Even with everything that happened, he still thinks about my well-being, his kindness moves me at the same time that hurts me.

Just in case I spoke with Izumi since she seemed to be the only one who knew a little about Luis's whereabouts, which we have kept secret mainly because we don't want to bother him, he has already suffered too much and deserves some time alone.

After confirming that Luis would come to town, I was excited and began to prepare for his return.

Since I did not know the exact day that Luis would return, I have made sure to keep the house spotless every day, keep my appearance as neat and prepare Luis's favorite food for lunches, which is the time he used to come to visit us.

There was still time for lunch so I sat in the living room looking at the divorce certificate with my name on it.

My husband goes out all the time and he hardly spends time at home anymore so I have not been able to talk to him about this but I will stand firm, even if I have nothing to my name I have a couple of friends who are willing to help me find a temporary home after divorce.

Something that surprised me is that when Luis left, he left a lot of money for the people he most appreciated including a study fund for Honoka and some money for me in case he wanted to take a vacation with my family.

It wasn't much, but it would be enough to start my own life.

I still worry about what my children will think and whether they will want to stay with their father or with me. Honoka will surely choose me since she also found out what happened with the dojo and now she does not want to see her older brother again or talk to the people of the dojo except for Shigure who seems to be the only one who still cares about Luis.

Kenichi on the other hand is much more focused on training since he was defeated by a classmate who recently transferred from the United States. In fact, Kenichi went camping with the people of the dojo taking advantage of Golden Week so it is a good time to see Luis.

I kept looking at the divorce certificate while playing with my wedding ring, I haven't worn it in a month and my family hasn't even noticed, they're too busy with their own business ...

"I want to see you ..." - I sighed to myself.

As I tried to contain my complex emotions I heard the sound of the doorbell.

It could be a salesman, a neighbor, or the postman, but the mere possibility that it was Luis was enough to make my heart race.

I looked at my appearance in the mirror, my red dress was well-groomed, a subtle makeup that highlighted my natural features, a silver necklace that I have not worn since I got married, and a hairstyle that the stylist said was popular with upper-class women.

It was my best wardrobe that I hadn't worn in over a decade, it was nice to see that it still fit me well, doing yoga every day since Kenichi was born was a great idea.

I went to the door trying to contain my emotion, if it wasn't Luis I would only be disappointed so I needed to calm down.

"Who are you looking for?" - I asked politely through the intercom.

Looking through the digital screen, I saw a student the same age as Kenichi and Luis. He was the kind of guy who wouldn't stand out in a crowd, but something about him was familiar.

"Hello Saori ..." - The boy looked at the camera with a friendly smile.

The voice, the expression, that look, the way he called me by my name ...

If he ignored the color of hair, eyes, glasses, and some features that can be hidden with makeup he was identical to Luis.

My heart began to beat, I couldn't answer with words. I rushed to open the door and when I opened it I saw him, it was him ...

"Hello, I haven't seen you for a long time" - Luis smiled at me, that smile so warm that it makes me feel safe.

"L-Luis ..." - My voice was shaky, I felt that the tears were about to come out of my eyes.

I pinched my hand to verify that it was not a dream and when I felt the pain I realized that this was real.

Unable to contain me, I rushed to hug him.

"You came back ... You really came back ..." - I couldn't control the tremor in my voice, I could only hug Luis tightly.

"I missed you too" - Luis wrapped me in his arms, it was not a hug from superficial lovers but the kind of hug that you would only give to a very dear family member.

Luis began to caress my back making me feel like a little girl being comforted, it was a strange feeling, but somehow it made me feel safe, it was nice.

This was the moment where I realized, no matter what kind of circumstances I may experience in the future or what kind of problems I have to deal with, it is only by being in Luis's arms that I can feel safe and loved.

Regardless of the circumstances that may occur in the future, I want to embrace this feeling so as not to let go of it again.

Author's Note:

This chapter was a bit short, later I am thinking of making small chapters that will be like 98.5 or 110.5 or something like that, they will be like additional short chapters to tell aspects of the plot that I have not explained well or told the lives of the women of the harem already that having so many forgotten characters makes me feel guilty ...

Of course, those short chapters will not count as weekly chapters so it will be like a bonus, Yey more work!

Just kidding, I enjoy writing, although sometimes I have little blocks and I don't know how to write certain scenes which give me insomnia ...

Anyway, a hug <3 (It seems that lately I'm leaving a lot of notes ... Maybe the social isolation makes me feel a little lonely *sob*)
