Playing With Other Supernaturals

Volume 2 Chapter 61 - Mother and Son

"Ahem… Once again, nice to meet you, Mom." Yoruichi and the rest were sitting on the dining table to eat their lunch. She once again greeted Sakura.

"Nice to meet you too… I didn't really expect that this is your real appearance… and by the way, why are you calling me 'Mom'?" Sakura is inspecting Yoruichi and already guest her relationship with her son but still chose to ask just to make sure.

"As you probably already noticed, I'm Kisuke's partner, girlfriend or lover… Whatever you call it." Yoruichi smiled as she declares their relationship. Kisuke at the side didn't say anything and only eat his lunch.

"You're the mystery girlfriend?" Aika asks in a scrutinizing tone.

"Hmm? You already knew about me?" Yoruichi asks in mild surprise. Kisuke is also surprised as he can't remember giving it away himself.

"Yes… I just guest it though, but I didn't think that I would be correct as I can't imagine Kisuke-kun being together with anyone just looking at his personality that scares the girls away."

Yoruichi then glances at Koneko who is stealing glances from her and Sakura, she then somehow understood how Aika guessed it. She then looked back at Aika and said, "Good perception, but for you to notice that means that you're also giving this an abnormal amount of attention, I wonder why that is?" She chuckled as Aika looked away from with indistinct blush on her face.

Sakura also understood what's going on since she's always with Koneko whenever she's at home and things like this can be easily noticed by fellow women. She guessed that Aika is also in the same breath as Koneko in term of affection when Aika guessed the existence of a girlfriend just from how Koneko acts. Although it's not Love, it's still a good bud for future development if things go as they are or a strong catalyst push it to the last step.

"Well then, let's eat all this food first before we move to the heavy stuff." Sakura clapped her hands and urge them to finish their meals so that they can talk about all the stuff that happened.

Sakura is looking at the four of them and a thought entered her mind, 'What's this harem? And I don't think that my idiotic son is aware of it as he's only looking at Yoruichi and ignoring the other two in terms of romantic feelings. Well, whatever. Harems aren't exactly rare so I'll just leave him be and see how he's going to deal with this as he realizes the current situation. The important thing, for now, is to know how Kisuke gained the knowledge to use magic and how strong he is exactly. Yoruichi might know more things as she's already a cat when she joined us all those years ago and might be the reason Kisuke entered the supernatural world.'

She only said a few words to Kisuke, but it's packed with the strictness that you could find from a parent when she caught her son doing something dangerous, "Start talking."

Kisuke already prepared what he should tell to her mother. As much as he hates it to tell a lie to his mother, Kisuke doesn't want Sakura to know the fact that he has the memory of his past life. He doesn't know how she would react or what conclusion she would reach, but Kisuke knows that it'll forever change their relationship. For Kisuke however, with the time they spent together, the care he received from her and the love of a parent that she gave to him, no matter how you twist it, she will forever be his mother no matter what happens. Yoruichi also has the same line of thought, even though Sakura is not her birth parent and she's just a measly cat in her eyes, she experience what is it like to have a normal family with her help. So instead of treating her as mother-in-law, Yoruichi sees Sakura as her real mother.

"I'll start the story when I met Yoruichi in the park, and that was 10 years ago.

"She was already in her cat form when I met her when she talked to me in the park when their's no one around. I'll skip how I reacted when I saw a talking cat, but Yoruichi has some magic knowledge and she messed up her transformation magic and stuck at being a cat. Yoruichi pleaded me to help her get back to normal by reading some books regarding magic to revert the spell that was on her. That day, I also brought her back home and we adopted her. I hid the fact that she could talk as I naively thought that people who saw a talking cat might do some crazy experiments on her like what I read at some novels at that time."

"You didn't trust me back then?"

"No, of course, that's not the case. I just that we decided that we should be the only ones who knew of this."

"Okay, go on."

"I studied this book about magic and successfully casts the elementary spells listed on it but it isn't enough to undo the magic on Yoruichi, so we went to her hiding place to find more books about magic. And over the years, I was able to learn how to dispell Yoruichi's curse and teach her how to control such a spell. She already got used to being a cat so most of the time she's in that form. As time passed on, it became harder and harder, to tell the truth about me but I also discovered my hidden talent at scanning the surroundings aura and I also became more proficient on magic."

"Where are these books now?"

"We decided to burn it after memorizing everything on it as it could be dangerous if someone else were to find that book in our possession."

"Can you tell me some verses from the book that you memorized?"

Kisuke then proceeds to recite some of the pages from the books from Cleria's library.

"Is that all?"

"Yes."

Sakura's mind is processing her son's story and concluded that he's lying, 'His story doesn't really match up from my memories of him and it's also full of holes that can't be explained. It's obvious that he's also aware of this, then why is he telling such a lame story? Is it his way of saying that there are things that he can't tell? This son of mine sure likes to play with words. I'll just ask him directly and be done with it.'

"Are you still hiding something?"

Kisuke stopped for a while and saw that his mother wants a serious answer from this one. He smiled and said, "Yes."

"Haah… You do know how contradictory that answer of yours from your earlier story, right?"

Kisuke just kept smiling and didn't answer back.

"… Whatever, you're a big boy now and you know how to take care of yourself. I trust you because regardless of how idiotic you act, you're strange mature in serious situations."

Sakura stood up and about to leave, "I still have some work to do, so I'll be leaving you to your own devices."

"Take care, Mom." Kisuke also stood up and followed her towards the door. The others also followed and say their farewells.

When Sakura was about to exit through the door, she stopped and looked at everyone who came to see her off, "Kisuke, you took them in, so take responsibility and don't ever leave them in danger." She then approached Kisuke and hugged him, "I love you, son."

"I will take care of them. Love you too, Mom. Be careful on your way." Kisuke returned the hug.

"If their's something you can't deal, or if you ever need help. Tell me about it and I'll do something to help you." Sakura separated from him and left, but not until leaving these words.

"I'll remember that."
