Chapter Thirty Seven~The Welcoming Home Dinner
Their wedding was beautiful. Their honeymoon in the Caribbean's was fantastic. And now, Kaname and Bloom were on their way home back to Japan as a married couple. Before they got on the plane, Kaname called ahead saying that Bloom and him were on their way home from their honeymoon. Once they landed, Bloom and Kaname had to return back to Sakurakoji Manor to pick up little Momo-chan.
"My queen," Bloom slowly opened her blue eyes to see her husband who was staring at him. Her head was resting on his lap, after having a long fight ahead of them.
"Yes, my love,"
"We're at your parent's estate," Kaname replied, before Bloom slowly rises up from his lap, until the Level C driver opened the door on the left side. Kaname climbed out of the luxury car as he helped his wife out of the car as well. Bloom closed the door as the Level C driver began to drive out of the Sakurakoji Mansion circle driveway.
The doors the mansion open as Tsubaki and Sora climbed down the stairs and Bloom and Kaname climbed up the stairs to meet them halfway. Sora opened his arms for his daughter as she removed her hand from Kaname's and ran towards his open arms.
"My daughter," Sora greeted, as he let go of his daughter to look at his nephew who became his son-in-law "My son, how was the honeymoon,"
"It was perfect, father," Bloom replied.
"Yes, it was magnificent." He wrapped an arm around his wife's waist. "Just the two of us, Uncle Sora,"
As Bloom and Kaname followed Tsubaki and Sora into the mansion, Yui was climbing down the stairs until she noticed her older sister and oldest cousin in the foyer of the manor.
"Kaname-itoko-sama," Yui called happily, holding Momohime in her arms. "Bloomie-chan!"
"Yuie-chan, Momo-chan," Bloom said happily as well, before Yui reached the bottom of the stairs and places Momohime down on the floor. Bloom hugged her baby sister, before she picked up her baby who was slowly reaching to her. Bloom picked up her baby as she places a kiss on her forehead.
Kaname walked towards his wife and daughter as the baby was smiling happily when she noticed her father. Kaname removed the baby from her arms, as she started making happy baby noises.
"Hello, my little princess," Kaname greeted his baby daughter. "Did you behave for your grandparents and your aunt and your mischievous uncle?"
"Oh, Kaname Kuran, hush," Bloom giggled.
"She'd truly behave, Kaname," Akihiko replied at the foot of the stairs, as he was crossing her arms. "And she was good to her favorite uncle,"
"Akihiko," Bloom gave him a side hug as he kept his green eyes onto Kaname's wine colored eyes. "Did you miss me?"
"I sure did, Bloomie," Akihiko replied. "And so as Yui and Momo-chan,"
Kaname walked towards Akihiko as he narrow his green eyes towards the almighty pureblood. "How are you, brother-in-law," Kaname asked. He was trying to make peace with Bloom's older brother since she was married to him instead of her own brother.
"I don't shake hands," Akihiko reminded him.
"My lords and my ladys," Akira called out their names.
"Your dinner is ready to be serve and it awaits in the dining room area," Junichi finished the rest of Akira's sentence.
As Akira and Junichi led them into the dining room, Kaname pulled out a chair for his wife, before he places Momohime in a high chair next to his seat. He pushed Bloom close to the white tablecloth table before he place a kiss on her forehead.
"Bloom," Akihiko called her name and she turned around to see Akihiko holding a white rose in his hand. "Yui and I picked this out for you,"
Bloom smiled as she place it into her head. "Aww, thanks onii-sama,"
"My queen,"
"Ye-,"
Kaname immediately grabbed her wife as he started kissing her hungrily at the table. With Bloom moaning into the kiss, Kaname and Bloom were on the floor touching each other until they heard Sora's slamming his cane onto the floor.
"Enough, you two,"
Bloom and Kaname slowly stood up from the floor, as they were both fixing their clothing. Bloom fixed the straps of her dress as Kaname was buttoning his black silk shirt. They both sat back down in there seat. Bloom places her hands in her lap as she blushed.
"Sorry, father," Bloom apologies.
"I apologize for our behavior too, Uncle Sora," Kaname apologies as well. He noticed the white rose on the floor besides him, before he stepped on the delicate flower.
"Remember, do that in the bedroom," Sora reminded him, before he sat down next to his wife Tsubaki. "Not out in the open where everyone can see you, especially in the presence of young children."
Bloom and Kaname looked at Momohime who was gigging and Tsubaki was covering Yui's amethyst eyes as the adopted Level B was slowly removing her mother's hands.
"Yes, in the presence of young children, Kaname,"
The doorbell to the Sakurakoji Manor ranged as Tsubaki requested Junichi to answer the door and escort their guest into the dining room. Akihiko stood as Junichi left the dining room, until he returned with someone who was invited by Akihiko and Lord and Lady Sakurakoji.
"Lady Shirabuki has arrived, Akihiko-sama," Junichi announced.
Bloom and Kaname turned around to face her as the blonde haired princess stood next to Junichi, before she started walking towards her fiancée.
"Hello, my love," Akihiko greeted her.
"Hello, handsome," Sara greeted back, before Akihiko cupped both of her cheeks and place a long but breathtaking kiss on her lips.
Bloom grabbed the butter knife from off of the table as she threw it at them, making them move out of the way and it was stabbed through the wall. Sara and Akihiko looked at the sharp knife at the wall before turning to see Bloom with one of her locks turned white with blue flame sparked at the end of it.
"Oh, I'm sorry," Bloom faked apologized. "My little Momo-chan must have pick up a sharp object and almost aimed it at her favorite uncle's head,"
Sara and Akihiko looked at the baby, "Huh?" She cooed confusingly.
As the whole family was sitting at the dining room table, Akira and Junichi serve the pureblood families roasted turkey with dressing. The side dishes was mashed potatoes and green peas. As for the dessert they were having strawberry cheesecake, which was one of Bloom's favorite desserts.
Kaname decided to be more romantic towards his wife, by pulling her into his lap and looked at the corner of her sapphire blue eyes as she ate. Sometimes he places a kiss on her cheek, as she and him ate their dinner. He also wanted to be a family man by feeding the small portions of mashed potatoes and green peas. Kaname had a small spoonful of the mashed potatoes in a baby spoon for her as she opened her mouth. He place it into her mouth, as she slammed her hands and kicked her feet, making the food splatter on her and the bowl fallen on the floor.
"My, my, Momohime seems to be like you, Kaname," Sara commented on his daughter.
"No, she not," Bloom replied. "She's more like me, instead of the clapping, slapping, and the kicking,"
Akihiko laughed. "Just like her bullheaded father,"
Kaname heard that as he narrow his eyes at him. He left the spoon in Momohime's mouth as she ate her spoonful and played with the drooled spoon. "What was that, Akihiko?"
"Oh, I was just saying how Momohime gets her smart remarks from her father who broke my dear sister's heart in the past,"
Kaname stood up from the table and slammed his hands on the tables. "Oh, well I do recall you being turned into a cat by your monstrous father,"
"Ha!" Akihiko laughed. "I'm not like that monster who abused me and my dear mother for three years. I rather lead the Sakurakoji family,"
"Well, I like to have my queen and my princess together as one. They belong to me. They're mine."
"It's nice to have the family over for dinner," Tsubaki commented embarrassingly.
Bloom places a hand on Kaname's shoulder."Akihiko, Kaname, please,"
"No, I need to know what is going on," Sora asked. "You two having been auguring for the past eighteen years, ever since Bloom was brought into the picture.
"Bloom, Yui, Sara," Tsubaki called their names as they looked at Lady Sakurakoji. "Could you please leave the table and walked to the lounge room? It looks like me and Sora have to sort problems out these two,"
"Yes, mother, come along, Yuie-chan," Bloom replied.
"Of course, Lady Tsubaki," Sara replied.
Bloom stood up from the table as she picked up Momohime from the highchair, as Yui and Sara followed her out of the dining room area and into the lounge room, until everyone who was left in the dining room heard the door closing.
"You two," Tsubaki said as they looked at her. "Sit back down NOW!"
When she said now with anger, small vines from the flower vases slapped their faces and hands as they sat back down rubbing off the pain.
"Now, Akihiko," Sora began speaking. "You are exactly twenty one years old and you are still acting like a child in front of your parents. But you can't accept the fact that your dear sister has fallen in love with her cousin and had a love child."
Akihiko slammed his hands on the table making his parents eyes widened at the the oldest Kuran descendant. "I have to… protect her and Momo-chan…" He looked up at the almighty pureblood, before he pointed his finger at him. "He. The ancestor of Kuran. The king. Is using her for her blue flames and I bet you all… that he will break her and Momo-chan's heart."
"I have never used her." Kaname replied. "I loved her especially my daughter. During our honeymoon, Bloom wanted us to make peace so we can both protect her, just like her mother planned for us to do as she grows."
"Yes, but Bloom isn't a little girl anymore," Tsubaki reminded. "She's eighteen and she knows how to come in contact with her nature and flame abilities."
"Tsubaki, let our dear nephew talk," Sora told his wife.
"Dear nephew?" Akihiko hissed. "He's our ancestor and you are giving him respect?!"
"Akihiko," Kaname stood up from the table. "Somehow you can't accept the fact that your dear sister loves me more than you when you were just a weak and defenseless black cat craving for attention."
"Listen to me, you son of a bitch," Akihiko hissed at his cousin. "If my sister is here at this mansion crying her eyes out saying you have broken her heart, I will be there to comfort her, just like she had night terrors of my father,"
"Oh, then I have a question just for you," Kaname asked. "If my wife and I are strong purebloods, how come you didn't have the courage to save her when she was kidnapped by him? Was it because you were weak?"
"That's it!" Akihiko jumped over the table as Kaname taken the first punch to his nose.
"Akihiko Kuran, stop this now!" Tsubaki called out.
"Whose weak, asshole," Akihiko hissed at Kaname as he slowly stood up from the floor. His nose was bleeding as he fixed his nose before lunging Akihiko into the wall of the dining room.
"Kaname Kuran, that's enough!" Sora hissed.
Kaname held him by his throat as he slowly looked up at him with his glowing red eyes filled anger. "I'm not powerless like you,"
Kaname chuckled. "You're were right." Kaname punches him in the stomach. "I was the problem ever since I was brought back into this world. Another punch landed at his nose. "No, you have been the problem ever since I was alone in this world. Because of you, I can't have my wife and my princess all to myself."
Akihiko kicked him in the stomach as Kaname fallen on the floor. Everyone started to hearing water as Akihiko raises his hands up in the air and form a large water sphere around Kaname. As the almighty pureblood was choking on the inside, a water like chain was wrapped around his neck as he was slowly removing it, until he heard the muffled voices going on the outside. The water sphere around him fallen onto the floor as Kaname was damp with water while slowly breathing in and out, before coughing up water.
"Kaname," Bloom called out his name as she moved his wet front bangs to see more clearly. "My love, are you alright?"
"I'm *cough* alright, my dearest," Kaname replied, before he looked to see Sara supporting a furious but wide-eyed Akihiko. Yui was hugging her parents before she looked up at them. "Where's princess?"
"She in the lounge with Akira-chan," Bloom replied, before looking at her brother, as she stood up. "How could you?!"
"Bloom, before you start pointing fingers at me." Akihiko said. "I-"
"That is my husband and he could have died because of you!" Bloom hissed at her brother. "What if he could have died and Momohime grown up without a father because of her favorite uncle killed him?"
"Bloom, I never thought of that, but-"
"I wanted you and Kaname to make peace with each other so you can me and Momohime more often, but… I don't think it's going to happen." Bloom said crossing her arms, before turning around to face her soaking wet husband. He stood up slowly not to fall in the water, before he weapon his arms around his wife as she cried on his shoulder and places a kiss on her long pink hair.
"Bloom, I will still be you brother and an uncle to Momo-chan, but him… he means nothing to me," Akihiko said. "Sara, we're leaving," he grabbed her wrist as she trailed behind her fiancee.
"Wait, Akihiko, my son, where are you going?" Tsubaki asked.
"To Sara's mansion,"
"Akihiko Kuran," Sora called out his name as Akihiko was in the foyer putting on Sara's jacket.
"What, old man?"
"If you walk out that door right now," Sora said. "Don't bother coming back, unless you are apologizing to your brother-in-law."
Everyone waited on his response. Either he can apologize to him and try to make peace with him. Or he can leave and never return. But he made his choice. He walked out the door with Sara, closing the door behind him. That was his choice. Was to never returned back to his home here at Sakurakoji Manor.
Tsubaki covered her face as she climbed up the stairs to her master bedroom where she and Sora shared. Sora looked at his sobbing wife as she sighed softly. He no that was his only son and also his wife's only son she had with her ex-husband. Akihiko Kuran has finally left them. It was now Bloom, Yui, Kaname, and Momohime left to support both Kuran and Sakurakoji families.
Later on during the night, Kaname was in Momohime's nursery playing with his daughter as she and his little princess was dressed for bed. Kaname was only wearing his black silk pajama bottoms as Momohime was wearing a short sleeve white nightgown with pink socks over her small feet.
"Momo, come to Papa," Kaname told her daughter as she heard his voice before she started crawling towards him. When she reaches to him, she crawled into his lap resting against his warm touch.
"Ah…" Momohime cooed happily. Kaname had his hands out in front of her as she slapped them happily, while making happy baby noises.
"Ah da!"
"Momohime, you are so magnificent, just like your mother," Kaname said softly.
"Is she still awake," Kaname heard the voice of his wife standing under the doorframe of Momohime's nursery as she leaning against it. Bloom was dressed in short sleeve light blue nightgown with long black knee length socks.
She walked towards them as she sat down on the floor.
"We are still playing, until princess fall asleep," Kaname replied.
"Kaname, do you think one day Akihiko and you will make peace?"
"I'm not sure," Kaname replied. "We true working out our differences, but one minute it will end up in a battle."
"I hope, one day," Bloom said before looking at the baby pureblood. "I don't know why he chose Sara to be his mate. He knows that I don't like the girl, but… maybe he loves her,"
"Bloom," She looked at her husband's worried wine colored eyes. "Akihiko needs to learn. He can't be there for our family if he's acting like a deranged animal. He almost killed me."
"I know, but he's still my brother and I have to accept the fact,"
"My queen," Kaname scooted closer to her, while still having the baby in his lap. "I love you,"
Bloom smiled. "I love you too, my king,"
Kaname places a small kiss on her lips as she closed her eyes. Once they looked at each other smiles, until Momohime was whining for attention as her parents looked down at her.
Bloom laughed. "I guess, Momo-chan wants attention as well.
Kaname lifted his daughter so he and Bloom kissed each side of her peachy cheeks. Momohime was giggling happily at the sudden attention she got from her mother and father.
"Momohime is such a beautiful child," Kaname commented.
"Yes, she is," Bloom replied. "I never knew that me being a mother at eighteen can be this much fun, except for the diaper changes and the crying."
As Kaname watched Bloom placing Momohime in the crib, once the baby pureblood has fallen asleep, he was thinking about what did Bloom said about being a parent. Even though parenting has its ups and downs, Kaname was happy to be a parent to his daughter, but he wishes for more to come. Kaname and Bloom looked down at their sleeping baby who was snoring lightly, the flower pureblood reached down into her crib and kissed her lightly on her forehead, before Kaname touched his daughter's head soothingly. Momohime turned to the right where her parents were as she relaxed against her father's touch.
"Good night, Momo-chan," Bloom whispered softly to the baby pureblood.
Kaname turning the key on a small music box that was used in the Kuran family for generations. He places it back on the nightstand next to the baby lamp, before Momohime heard the soft melody. As her small head and arms moved around a bit Bloom and Kaname left the baby in her nursery listening to the soft music playing.
Well, somehow this was an early update since I was working on the dinner part last night, but somehow I finished the whole chapter this morning. So, Akihiko has finally left us and turned against his family… Will he returned back to us? So the next chappie will be another year later and what could happen in just one year? And thats when the real drama begins!
I have a created a one-shot of Kaname and Momohime bonding together and it's called Babysitting Momo-chan. It's really cute and I hope everyone will love it. Please send me reviews on my Sakurakoji Hime one-shot stories.
