Note: This scene is from my thoughts of how yukari got kidnapped in the anime and met seigen after been rescued. Also it's inspired by the anime so it'll be different of how they met on the island in the novel.
Chapter Two: Her Savior
In a unfamiliar room, yukari slowly opened her eyes. Yukari's eyes wondered around the spacious room, she had no idea how she got here. Last thing she remembered was that she got trapped at her lab due to the destruction going on outside, even if she wanted she couldn't escape. Born to a powerful exorcist, yukari had exceptional spell power. However unlike her deceased older brother, she didn't become a exorcist. She was too nice, too pure, too innocent to be dragged into that chaotic world.
Yukari grew up as a "normal girl" with higher intellectual abilities, despite the fact that she wasn't a exorcist, yukari was a woman many feared. That may also include her ex-husband. She decided to dedicate herself to science, often working very late and forgetting meals. She was kind hearted, a little clumsy. but brave enough to do anything to protect the ones she loved. Yukari was waiting patiently for someone to come save her, as she was in a situation she couldn't do anything on her own even if she got out due to impurities running around the city.
She couldn't call her father or mayura as the phone signals were down at the place she was in. She would be lying if she had said she wasn't worried, however she had complete faith in Him, that'll he'll let nothing happen to their daughter. She knew he could go to any length to protect the them, he even divorced her because he knew that the line of his work could end very dangerous to them. Though he still maintained contact and visited once in a while.
She first met him in a situation where you don't normally meet your future spouse, again she was working till it got late and almost missing the last train, she hurried home knowing she's going to get scolded by her over-protective older brother. After coming home and and witnessing the horrid scene in her brother's room she wished that to be case.
There he stood, a young man. Wearing a fluffy hooded jacket along with a mask shaped like that of a red oni, though a part of the mask was broken making his left eye visible. Along side her older brother's dead body. She broke down to her knees and started sobbing.
Screaming at the man, repeatedly asking as why he felt the need to kill her brother. However, the man told her that he's under no obligation to her that in monotone voice as if he was so used to a situation like this. Her brother murdered in front of her, she couldn't think straight at that moment. The young man told her to forgot about him and her brother before casting a spell, making yukari faint. Unknown to the man, as her eyes were getting heavy and she was falling, as her locked with his. Thou that was for a short moment, looking at his eyes she forgot about her surroundings, her gaze wouldn't him.
Those eyes, they weren't that of a killer. Despite his casual voice in the situation, his eyes spoke of the heavy burden he was carrying. They showed his sleepless nights haunted by his deeds. He knew the weight of taking someone's life. They carried such sorrow, yukari wondered how wounded his heart was as she finally passed out.
This man killed her beloved older brother, yet here she wanted to help this man. She wanted to know if what she saw was true, that he wasn't a ruthless killer. Still he killed but why?.
Little did she knew that he'll turn out to be her saviour.
Due to the higher level of her spell power she was still consious, she knew she can't hold on for much longer as her vision was already getting slightly hazy, it was as if someone or something was sucking her very existence away. But then she heard the sounds of someone's footsteps. Yukari gulped under the desk she was hiding in, for a short moment she got happy that help have arrived, however the footsteps she heard made her realize that it wasn't the case. They were too calm, too cold.
As if knowing where she was hidding, a deep male voice gave out a wicked laughter. Standing in front of the desk. Yukari knew staying hidden now will not do her any good as the person already knew she was there. She came out of her spot, standing straight in front of the intruder, showing she had no fear.
"Eh~? To think he had cute wife like you~." The man said looking surprised at yukari's appearance.
Yukari knew what the man meant, she knew now why he came to her. He was going to use her against her ex-husband, Either as bait or kill her. Whoever this person was, they knew how much she meant to seigen. Him being surprised at her wasn't something new, as soon anybody finds out that she is the wife of the seigen of the amawaka house, they don't hide their shock. Seigan, being a powerful exorcist, one would expect his wife to be a strong exorcist as well.
"Oh my, Do you mean my ex-husband? I am sorry we've been divorced for years now. I have no idea where that man might be, if that's what you came for." although yukari said this with a smile she knew that the man already looked past her act.
"Haha, well it seems you misunderstood. I came here not to ask about him but rather my business is with you." the man replied with a wicked smile on his face.
"Eh? Business with me?, I don't recall if we ever have met." Yukari said maintaining her calm.
"Ah I suppose we haven't, I just need to borrow you for a bit, you see you'll serve as a perfect distraction for them" the man said his gaze not leaving her.
After that she lost consciousness, she thought she must have been abducted by that man but she was completely safe. She stood up, almost falling back down on the bed, her body felt extremely weak. Not giving up hope, yukari managed to walk her way to the door. Opening the door she noticed it was a plain hallway with a lot of rooms just like the one she just exited. She heard voices coming out of the end of the hallway.
Using the wall as support yukari walked her way to the source of the voices, upon reaching what look like the doorway to a living room. She peeked her head in and immediately blushing at the sight. There was the man she loved sitting on a chair, shirtless. A purple-haired woman was tending to his wounds. Feeling a little jealous not she would admit.
"Seigan~!"
Hearing his name, seigen looked at source of the that voice he knew so well. Yes, there stood his ex-wife holding the door frame. Judging by that adorable puffy face she was making, it probably had something to do with haruka tending to the wounds he received. Seigan sighed and showed a hand to haruka to tell her to stop before yukari might kill them both.
"Mom, are you okay now?" The one who broke the silence was mayura. Surprised by her mother's sudden appearance.
However, her question got ignored as her mom was busy giving a death glare to her dad who was staring right back at her with his usual frowning expression. Everyone else in the room had gotten silent just looking at the ex-couple. Rokuro, ryougo and zenkichi knew from experience as to not get in between both of them when they are like this.
"What are you doing out of bed, woman?. You should be resting." seigan said.
"Eh~? Oh I am so sorry to have disturbed you with my presence in the lovely time, you were having." Yukari replied, her eyes still locked with seigen's.
Yukari tried walking in but as soon as her hand left the door frame, she struggled to keep herself straight not breaking the eye-lock with her ex-husband. Mayura and shimon who were standing closest to yukari immediately ran towards her.
"Mom, you had a huge amount of spell power taken from you!. You're still very weak." Mayura said panicking, letting her mother lean on her for support. While a awkward shimon was standing next to her.
Yukari looked at the miniature version of herself, the way mayura was looking at her with an angry face yet moistened eyes. It reminded her of when she worrys over seigan when he would come back having wounds. She looked at red-haired boy standing next to her daughter, she looked back and forth between her daughter and him, then winked at him as if telling him she approves to which the young boy blushed a crimson, his face matching his hair.
This conversation between the eyes didn't went unnoticed by a certain someone as well. Who just raised his brow at his ex-wife, but that wasn't the only thing he noticed.
"Tch, troublesome woman." Seigen said as he walked over to yukari, placing his arm under her bottom, throwing her over his shoulder and making his way back to the room she just exited. Yukari's face immediately went red, as she couldn't respond at first because it happened to soon for her to register.
Upon entering the room seigan closed the room with his foot and settled yukari down on the bed, grabbing a nearby chair he sat in front of her. He was studying her face which was a little crimson probably from being carried like a potato sack in front of everyone.
"What?, are you a little kid now?" Seigan said pinching yukari's cheek who was sitting on the bed with a pouty face refusing to make eye contact.
"Ow, That hurts!" Yukari said rubbing her face and looking at seigen with moistened eyes. though seigen averted his eyes, she could have swore she saw a tiny smirk for a second.
Seigan's hand reached out to her face, brushing away stray strands of hair. There was silence between them for a while just gazing at each other, till she broke it.
"I am sorry" placing her hand on seigan's, yukari blurted out, with a couple of tears accompanying her statement.
"What was that?" Seigan slightly suprised to see yukari crying, no matter what difficulties they had gone through, she'd always welcome him with a smile.
"I am sorry for being so weak, seigan. If only I was a powerful exorcist- ow ow ow" yukari tried to say but rudely interrupted by seigan who stretched her cheek a little too hard as if punishing a kid who said something wrong.
"I don't want to hear that, especially from you, remember where being an exorcist took your brother? Do you want go to magano and end up dying rather staying with mayura?" Seigan said raising his voice a bit. It was clear that he was really annoyed.
"How about you then?! don't lie to me, pretending your a heartless person who comes and goes whenever he wants, leaving his wife and daughter behind. Mayura and I know both know you do it to protect us, people might think it's easier for you to kill but it's the opposite! you knew more than anybody else how awful killing was and felt more emotionally burdened, your huge dark circles can be considered as proof of all those sleepless nights you have! Do you think I am blind? I get taken by some man and few hours later I am completely safe and sound while you have a fresh set of wounds!"
Despite being still weak, yukari stood up and yelled her feelings at her ex-husband's face, with tears streaming down her face. Suddenly she found herself in her ex-husband's lap as seigan wrapped an arm around her waist and pulling her down.
"Did you give a copy of this speech to mayura as well?" Seigan said burying yukari's face in his neck and moving his hand in a soothing manner on her back to calm her.
"This isn't funny... I was being serious" yukari said pouting, giving a light smack on his chest. She didn't fail to see the little smile forming on his lips.
"You both have the habit to say such annoying and embarrassing things, but I wasn't the one who saved you. I got my ass kicked and ended up being saved by mayura instead" seigen sighed.
"Thats not all true!"
The former couple got interrupted by mayura, who for some reason burst through the door and tripping on air while making her way to her parents. But that didn't stop her from clarifying her dad.
"Dad protected me! Despite not being one of the twelve guardians anymore he didn't back down at all knowing that kuranashi was stronger than him, he still fought- Ow Ow" this time the cry came from mayura having her dad's fist landing on her head.
"Honestly... Both of you..." Seigan sighed. Knowing whatever the horrible things he'll say about himself they'll both counter it. It's like they researched and are fully prepared to debate against that. Seigan knew he had committed sins, sins that cannot be forgiven. His line of duty made believe that he doesn't need a family or friends. But yukari changed that... Changing his views about life, standing with him and shouldering his sufferings to giving him a beautiful daughter.
"ehh... D-dad is smiling" mayura said looking at her father surprised because even with her he never let his emotions show but somehow when yukari us around it just happens. Mayura circled her arms around seigan's neck from you behind and squished her face to his. Yukari giggled at how cute they look with mayura smiling whole heartedly while seigan was making an annoyed face but made no attempts to stop his daughter.
"Even though your absence sometimes becomes unbearable, I still love you" yukari said as she kissed her ex husband's right cheek.
"Even though your always so cranky and mean, I still love you too" mayura said kissing her dad's left cheek.
"Honestly... You guys really don't feel embarrassed at all, well I am used to it by now" seigan said as he kissed his daughter on the forehead.
Mayura smiled and went out of the room to let her parents have some privacy. Yukari still sitting on seigan's lap caressed his hair as he crashed his lips to hers, wrapping her arms around his neck, yukari responded the kiss with same intensity as her ex-husband.
Meanwhile the people in the living were wondering what might those three be doing, it's not like their having a rare family moment... right?
