The Fox Goddess



"Wha- can you repeat what you said?" Amane's head felt like it was about to explode when she heard her daughter's unbelievable request, but soon after her face went completely red as she actually begin to imagine it happening and she became even more embarrassed. Though she was not embarrassed because she likes her, she was embarrassed for Yuki instead, both of them don't even have feelings for each other and they were suddenly asked to kiss each other. Who would not be embarrassed by that?

"Kiss? Isn't that normal for the two of you? I thought it was normal for couples to kiss each other, I mean Mommy always kisses Mother Kurokami and Mother Fumiko." Aika tilted her head in confusion as she looked at both of them with her innocent eyes. But her words instantly shut the two of them down because they cannot refute her words especially Yuki who seems the main target of her words at this point she cannot believe that such a thing was happening, in her whole life no matter who it was she can easily fire back their words back, but at this moment she felt like if she tries to utter words, it will only make things worse for her.

"Fuck it… let's just do it so that she finally stops." Yuki took a deep breath as she already knows that there was no way out for her, she then looks straight into the eyes of Amane before leaning her face closer.

"What… you actually want to do it, wait… I'm not ready for thi-" Amane didn't even finish her words when her mouth was sealed, but before their lips touched. Aika was watching her Mommy slowly get closer to Amane and just seeing them made her heart flutter in happiness, she was happy to finally see them getting along. But before the two lips touched, Yuki suddenly grabbed a book nearby and use it as a shield to block Aika's eyesight causing her unable to see what happens. But in her little mind, there was no need to ask anymore if they truly kissed, the reaction from her Mother tells it already, though if she can only see over the book, she will know the two didn't really kiss because Yuki's fingers were stopping the two from touching.

But even though there were three fingers blocking their lips, Amane could still feel Yuki's breath in her face which made her embarrassed but if not for that, Aika would still suspect them lying. She truly didn't expect Yuki to go through this just to please her daughter, but it made her happy because she now knows that there is a person who will love and care for Aika when she finally disappears from this world.

"You Mother is a bit shy, that's why I blocked your vision with a book." Yuki had a slight smile as she finally drops the kiss, but after going back to her original sitting position, Aika saw her licking her lips which only made it even more believable in her eyes because she always does that when she kissed the other two, though that was just an act all again to trick her. As for Amane, she tidied up her wrinkled clothes to hide her embarrassment, anyone could tell what she was thinking right now just from the bright red blush on her face.

"Thank you… I'm sorry if I forced the two of you into doing such things, I just want you two to get along. I don't like seeing you guys fighting." Aika said with a guilty smile as she embraced the two of them, that is what truly wanted to happen. For the two of them to get along nicely, because the moment she saw Amane, she already felt that something was wrong, her aura seems to be getting weaker by the second, and at that point, it can only mean one thing, and that she is going to leave them, forever.

When Yuki saw Aika's expression, she knew that Aika had already learned that Amane would leave and never come back once again. Amane also wasn't oblivious to this as she already felt that her daughter's mood slowly going down as the second passed, this was kind of a good thing because she has an innate talent for discerning things around her at such a high level that, but of course, it's also bad, especially when the situation is like this.

"Haiss… It looks like you already know the situation huh? Come here Aika." Yuki sighed as she no longer intended to hide anything from her anymore since all of it was useless, all of the plans that she had carefully planned out for this very moment fell apart in an instant. But it doesn't matter anymore, the only thing she needs to do right now is to make Aika feel happy again and to teach her that parting isn't something bad.

"You know… Back in my world, people always used to say don't be sad because it ended, be happy because it happened. Will you believe in those words Aika?" Yuki asked with a slight smile on her face as she just embraced her daughter from behind, breathing in the flowery scent that her body was released, and just inhaling makes her calmer and it felt like she can fall asleep at any moment because she was so relaxed. But she didn't fall asleep just yet, she wanted to hear her daughter's answer.

"I… I would believe it if I have some good memories to cherish." Aika answered with a sad smile hanging on her face, she didn't fully believe in such words because if something did end like the life of someone, should they be happy if it happened even though their life is a living hell?

Maybe some would say yes, because it's an easy way for them to leave that hell, but some would answer no because they just don't want to end things that easily, especially when they haven't done anything.

"I knew that you would answer like that~ You make me proud. And yes, you're right. That's why we should make memories of us together while Amane is still here, so that in the future you can have a hold of something that will help you remember her. So that she wouldn't die, because a person only dies when they are forgotten." Yuki smiled even more as she patted Aika's head, and without saying anything she grabbed Amane's hand before smiling at her, and placed it on top of Aika's little head.

"Don't you agree me?" Yuki showed her a gentle smile as she looks at her with her eyes red eyes that seem so warm in Amane's eyes hearing it made her heart flutter, because that's also the last thing she wants, to make memories with her daughter so she wouldn't be easily forgotten by her. And she is even more glad that she was acknowledged by Yuki as Aika's parent, especially after what her Mother tried to do, and just remembering it makes her guilty about it.

"You don't need to feel guilty about it, it's your Mother's fault. Plus I already have my revenge on her, she's my slave now." Yuki didn't need to put an eye on Alisha as her tricks were nothing but childish acts to her, it was too simple and easy to see through. She didn't need to take it seriously in front of such a person, plus she was not under Yuki's contract with the Oath, and if she ever tries to do something, she will die.
