The Fox Goddess



"Do you really think if I kill you right now, things would be magically better? That's quite naive of you to think that. If killing you would make it better, I would have already tried it a long time ago" Yuki said with a chuckle as she casually stood up leaving all of those who were clinging to her, she then turns around with a smile hanging on her face as if what she just said wasn't a big deal, and when Ayame heard what just her daughter said, all of the strength in her legs quickly vanished as she falls to the ground with a pale face. But before Ayame could respond, she felt someone touch her head which made her raise her head to look at the front.

"Don't be sad… You misunderstood me, I didn't say anything about wanting to kill you. I was only responding to your statement before. I don't want to do any more things that I might regret…" Yuki's hand shook as she assisted her mother to slowly get up and when she was finally standing, she took a deep breath before saying something under her breath and because of how low it was, they were able to hear it properly. But somehow they still managed to understand it and when they did, all of them burst into tears and surrounded Yuki to give her a warm hug.

"And if I let all of you go now, I think it will devour me for the rest of my life…" Yuki was unprepared for their move so she directly falls to the ground if not for protecting the little phoenix in time, he might have already been squashed under the weight of all of them.

"What are-." Before she could ask what the hell they were doing, when her lips suddenly got sealed by Kurokami and looking straight at those bright blue eyes of her beautiful eyes makes her heart soften. Because of it, she was not even angry that she got dirty because of the place where they are laying down, and worse, they almost got her little phoenix killed. And looking at those blue eyes that were even more beautiful than any gems that she has seen, she again found herself mesmerized by them, but something suddenly clicked in her brain, she had just noticed that she had removed her necklace that hides her real appearance.

"You… Why did you remove your necklace?" Yuki asked as she separates herself from Kurokami, her face was still quite calm but she felt a burning sensation in her body as if something has been lit up inside of her. But she kept it hidden inside, because she knows what it was, and from her memories with Fumiko with her letting that Fire out, she doesn't want anything like that to happen again, plus many people were watching. But soon that Lust got completely devoured by possessiveness, that was the last thing she wants, for other people other than her to see Kurokami's true beauty. If it was just her Family that saw it, it's still fine, but she had set up a lot of people in the forest, she already knows that they have seen her beauty.

"Yuki, please don't be angry. Sister Anna only did it so that she can track you down, by using the special abilities of a Vampire, it helped us track you down because of the Blood that you left on the picnic area." Fumiko called Kurokami, Anna since she still doesn't know her real name, she then tried to reason with Yuki, from reading her eyes she can already tell what she was thinking about because she has seen that kind of look that Yuki is currently giving. It scared her when she saw it, but at the same time, she felt extremely loved by it even though what Yuki was showing is possessiveness that can be quite dangerous to a relationship.

Meanwhile, Kurokami was oblivious to the fact that Yuki was showing such emotion because she hasn't seen this side of her, she only thought that she was angry at her for not consulting her at first.

"Fine… It cannot be helped anymore. You can show your real appearance in private if you want to, but never. NEVER try to reveal it in public. Not until we arrive in the Nightingale Heaven at least." But her sentence was only said in her mind since she's not going to release that news just yet, she can't risk being heard by any of the Gods that reside in the Mystic Dragon Heaven, Kurokami revealing her real identity can already cause a lot of trouble, so she would again need the help of her Mother to take care of it. She then continued by saying.

"We should go back to the picnic area now, I'm sorry if I ruined our little trip. But, I promise you that I will never leave you again." Yuki was finally able to calm all of them and when all of them are ready, she teleported all of them once again back to the picnic area. But before continuing, she first cleaned the mess that she made, and finally, after everything is set up and ready. They are finally having their picnic where they can enjoy themselves.

Time flies by so quickly, that none of them even noticed that it was already quite dark, but just as Ayame was about to suggest that they should leave since it was already dark. Yuki snapped her fingers and in an instant, the dark but still beautiful river was suddenly lit up with all of the Ice that was floating the in air making the scenery even more beautiful than ever. The Ice that was floating was acting as if they are some fireflies that flies around lighting the river.

"Wow…" All of them exclaimed even the two Gods who have seen a lot of beautiful places had shocked looks on their faces after seeing how beautiful the River was now.

"It's beautiful, right? This is why I chose this place because we'll not be going home today. We will leave tomorrow morning. Also… Aika, can you come to Mommy for a second?" Yuki stood up and walked by the side of the River mysteriously, but nonetheless, Aika jumped out of her chair and followed Yuki by jumping in her arms which she caught easily.

"Are you happy?" Yuki took a quick pause before continuing. Her question made Aika confused, but regardless she still answered in a very happy tone.

"YES! I am very happy, Mommy! This has been the best day ever yet!" Aika said as she even puts both of her arms in the air.

"I see, but is there something you wish?" Yuki was amazed at how cheerful Aika could be, but after seeing just a little side of Celeste, she already knows that it came from her since it couldn't come from her.

"There is… but, Mommy can't give it to me…" Suddenly, Aika's tone got sullen and sad.

"Oh? There is something that I can't give you? Tell me what it is, maybe Mommy can help you achieve that wish." Yuki acted surprised as she then chuckled as she already know where this is going since she planned everything from the start.

"I… I want to see Mother Fairy. But I know that it is impossible because she's already in heaven." Aika said her wish which made everyone sad because they also know that it was impossible to bring the dead person back at Yuki's current strength, plus there was no guarantee that the Fairy Saintess would know that she had offspring after she got revived.

"Hahaha… I see. Then, your wish… Mommy will definitely make it a reality." Yuki dropped Aika back to the ground and then turns her around, Aika didn't even realize it herself, but her body had already moved before she can think. Tears were slowly dripping out of her eyes and because she was not looking at her surroundings anymore, she trips on a rock but before she could stand up once more she felt a warm embrace that was very familiar to her.

"Whaaa! Mother Fairy!"
