Chapter Fifty Four~Forever His Daughter
After that battle against Sora, her own father, Bloom was kept busy around her childhood mansion as she was trying her best to comfort and heal her father while take care of her small family. Kaname on the other hand was helping out as well. He helped Bloom taken care of their children as Momohime, Shinichi, and Airi were put on extra security since Sara will be coming to the manor one day, maybe kill her remaining family.
It was now a snowy January as the white blanket of snow covered the mansion and also the outside garden. Bloom was sleeping in today since she stayed up almost half the night being a nurse to her father. She prayed to Kami every night hoping that he has forgiven her sin and help her father heal through as well.
"Bloom-sama, it's time to wake up,"
Hana Mizuki was here at Sakurakoji Manor as well. She decided to come along to keep an eye on her masters, but to also try and help out Akihiko with his son Usui.
Bloom groaned her sleep as she decided to grabbed the pillow from underneath and covered her head to block out Hana's voice.
"Bloom-sama, you must wake up," Hana said as she shakes her to make her look up at her. Finally, Hana decided to pull the comforter as Bloom immediately covered her body with only her arms, until she narrowed her blue eyes at the maid of Kuran Manor.
"I apologize for the rude awaking, Bloom-sama" Hana apologizes as she placed the comforter down on the edge of Bloom's bed. "But Kaname-sama request you to join him for breakfast,"
Bloom sighed before raising her body upright. "Why does he want to see me? I rather spend the day with my ill father."
"I know , Bloom-sama," Hana agreed with the flower pureblood. "But your mother, Tsubaki-sama thought it was best that you two try and talk some more. He's been taking care of young Momohime and also the twins. So, Tsubaki-sama decided to give you two a break, since things have changed around here at Sakurakoji Manor,"
Bloom yawned loudly before smacking her lips. She opens her eyes to look at Hana Mizuki before she sighed softly before she stood up.
"Alright, tell him I'll be there,"
"Right away, Bloom-sama," Hana replied. "He will be waiting for you in the indoor garden of the manor. There is an outfit waiting for in the bathroom,"
"Thank you, Hana,"
Hana Mizuki curtseyed before she left Bloom's bedroom as the flower pureblood walked towards the bathroom to start her daily morning routine.
As Bloom walked towards the hallway to the indoor garden of Sakurakoji Manor, she followed a trail of blood red roses petal. Bloom places her hands on her hips as she looked down at the trial. Kaname was trying to be more romantic to Bloom, since he wanted her back into his life. Bloom swept them away with her light brown booties with the small heels and told Akira to clean the 'mess' up.
When she finally reached towards the doors of the indoor garden, she opened to see that garden was still alive and healthy filled luscious plants and flowers that she, her mother, and her baby sister grew together.
"Bloom,"
Kaname called her name as she finally looked at him who stood up from his chair. There was an expensive patio table as the table had freshly brewed rose tea and also a delectable breakfast platter for them to share together.
Bloom crossed her arms. "Kaname, what is this about?"
"Nothing," Kaname walked towards her before he stood in front of her as she wasn't looking at her deep blue eyes. "I just want to spend time with the woman I love,"
He placed his fingers under her chin to make her look at her. He was about to go in for a kiss, but Bloom pushed him away by turning her face to her right.
Bloom felt Kaname's lips against her cheek before turning her head back around to look up at him, having a sweet smile on his face.
"Let's get this over with," Bloom mumbled under her breath as she walked towards the patio table with Kaname tailing behind her.
As Bloom and Kaname ate their breakfast platter together, there was some times where the almighty pureblood tried to feed her anything on the plate, just like he did for her to be more romantic towards her. But eventually, she did opened her mouth since she wanted to juicy taste of fresh fruit in her mouth. Even Bloom did it to him, since it was also the last strawberry and it was shaped like a heart for lovers.
Bloom was finishing the rest of her rose tea as she had sticky strawberry juice on her fingers. Once she placed her cup of tea back down on the saucer, Kaname was looking at her like she was mysterious with his hand underneath his chin. Which was making the flower pureblood very uncomfortable while she was grabbing onto the hem of her lace pink skirt.
"Uh, Kaname," Bloom said his name before she started blushing in front of him.
Kaname chuckled softly before placing his fingers underneath her chin, turning her face to look into his ruby red ones. "Yes, my love,"
"Thanks for the breakfast," Bloom stood up abruptly as she wiped her fingers off with the napkin before Kaname grabbed her hand which was covered with the sticky strawberry juice as he uses his tongue to lick it off her.
Bloom shivered once he felt his warm tongue before she yanked her hand away from him. She started walking away from as she crossed her arms, before she heard Kaname's chair moving against the ground as he stood up.
"Bloom,"
"What?" She turned around to face him until he was in front of her, almost scaring her.
"There is something we must talk about," Kaname told her as he held onto her left wrist.
Bloom rolled her eyes.
"Can it wait, Kaname?" Bloom asked him. "I must see my father. He must be worried about me, since I haven't greeted him this morning,"
"Don't worry about him, Bloom," Kaname suggested.
"Don't worry about him?!" Bloom hissed at him. "He's my father, Kaname. He is having stomach pains and what am I doing? Helping him heal. My mother is doing the same, but I'm spending more time with him,"
"Do you ever care about our Princess or even our beautiful twins that you've just gave birth too?" Kaname asked, before grabbing onto the other wrist trying to keep Bloom into place. "They're growing up fast, Bloom. Momohime's getting used to her abilities without setting the living room or even Akihiko on fire,"
"I know, but,"
"Do you still feel guilty,"
"I… I…"
The doors to the indoor garden open as Hana, Akira, and Junichi ran towards them before bowing and curtsying to them, quickly apologizing.
"Kaname-sama, Bloom-sama, you must hurry," Hana said.
"Why," Bloom asked while Kaname finally let go of her wrists. "Is something wrong?"
"It's Lord Sakurakoji," Akira stated.
"He both needs you now," Junichi said.
"I'm dying…*cough* *cough*" Sora said as he coughed before looking up at his loving wife of nineteen long human years.
"Sora," Tsubaki sobbed.
"My camellia flower," Sora touched her cheek as he wiped the fallen tear from her green eyes. Tsubaki covered his hand with her left hand as she can still feel the warmness. "Please don't cry. I will still be with you, until my dying breath,"
Tsubaki smiled sweetly to her dying husband.
"Sora-ōto-san," Yui sobbed as she tried her best to hug him softly. Sora held his adopted daughter in his left arm before he placed a kiss in her waist length blonde hair. He stared at those big purple eyes that Yui possessed as he smiled weakly before he started coughing and wheezing.
"Bloom…" Sora barely said her name. "I must see her,"
"She's coming, father," Akihiko finally said something as he was hold his sleeping son Usui.
"I had the servants retrieve her,"
He wasn't looking up at his stepfather, before he called out his name to have him look up at his weak cyan blue eyes.
"Akihiko, please don't forget that you have a son to take of," Sora reminded him. "If Usui grows up without a father like you, he will probably have a bad childhood. Promise me that you will take care of him and keep him away from that b-"
Sora started coughing once more as he felt his stomach wound still hurting his insides . His insides felt like they were on fire, due to his flames and sword rejecting his body in order for him to heal properly.
Bloom and Kaname finally came into Sora's room as they looked to see Tsubaki, Yui, and Akihiko next to him watching him in his final hour. Bloom was wide-eyed once she ran towards her father. She was looking at her father trying to find out the right words to say to him in his dying breath.
But, she examines his body structure. His abilities were slowly dying. He looked more weaker than before. The bandages to his stomach wound was pouring out more blood than ever. His cyan blue eyes were tired with tears slowly coming out from his eyes.
"Father,"
"Bloomie," Sora smiled weakly before Tsubaki, Yui, and Akihiko removed themselves from the bed that Sora was lying on. He gestured his daughter to sit next to him as she did before placing a kiss on her cheek to make her smile, which she did before her warm tears were falling down.
"Hey, don't cry," Sora said before placing a few of her pink locks behind her ear. "Bloomie, I want you to smile for me,"
"I can't," Bloom sobbed softly before wiping off her own tears with her forearm. "I'm scared, Father. I still want to spend more time with you, but,"
"This is the day that Kami wants me to be with him," Sora finished the rest of Bloom's sentence before she looked up at him with her big blue eyes. "Listen to me, my little flower, once I leave I need you take better care of yourself. Especially when you're around your cousin,"
Bloom and Sora looked at Kaname who was holding Yui in his arms. She was crying softly as Kaname was rubbing her back, whispering soft words to the adopted Sakurakoji daughter.
"But, Father-,"
"Kaname,"
Kaname turned to face his uncle/father-in-law as he looked at his weak cyan blue eyes which made his own ruby red ones be soft as well. He placed Yui down on the floor as she walked towards Tsubaki and hugged her daughter as well.
Kaname walked towards him as Sora gestured him to sit down next to Bloom, but the flower pureblood stood up and he taken her place. "My son, I can't believe that this will be the last time that I will see you still alive and breathing,"
"I know, Uncle Sora," Kaname said. "But I wished none of this never happened. Just like I lost my mother and father to Rido. I should have fought against him when I thought it was my fault,"
"But did they tell you that it was your fault?" Sora asked.
"No," Kaname replied. "Mother confessed that it was their fault. It was only for Yuki's protection,"
"They wanted another child to love and you were there until their final day," Sora said. "That's what I want you to do, if Bloom is not around to support the children. You wanted a family, Kaname. And you wanted love and happiness from them. That's why I want you to provide and protect the ones you love. Promise me that, Kaname,"
Kaname smiled and nodded to his uncle/father-in-law. "Don't worry. I will, Uncle Sora,"
"Bloomie," he said before coughing once more which called over Tsubaki, Akihiko and Yui.
"Please… do the right thing… and don't forget who you are in the society,"
"I won't, Father," Bloom said before placing his left hand on her left cheek. Sora smiled weakly before coughing once more, before more blood was spilling from his bandages.
"I… I love all of you," Sora said weakly.
Bloom place a loving kiss on his forehead.
Tsubaki walked over to the right side of his bed and gave him a breathtaking kiss to make him smile once again. Sora looked at his family who were in the room with him now as he felt his heart burning, just like what the humans called a heart attack.
He clutches onto his chest as he felt more pain than ever. "Bloom… fight… for me…"
"I will, father," Bloom replied, nodding her head. "Father, please don't die. Please,"
"I know… you and everyone… will do… what's… right," Sora said before looking up at the ceiling of the guest bedroom before his breathing slowed.
"Sora,"
"Father,"
"Uncle Sora,"
"Father," Bloom grabbed ahold of his shoulders before he shakes him. "Daddy… Daddy, please don't-" She place her ear on his chest where his heart was.
There was no pulse.
There was no heartbeat.
There was no weak presence in the room.
Sora Sakurakoji, the head of the Sakurakoji family was pronounced dead.
"Sora-ōto-san," Yui sobbed quietly as Tsubaki held her close to her embrace. Tsubaki and Akihiko were crying also but quietly. Kaname had soft eyes after when Sora wasn't responding. He did not shed a single tear as he kept his eyes on Bloom holding onto Sora's lifeless body.
"DADDY!" Bloom cried as she sobbed onto his chest. "No, don't leave us. Don't leave me… Daddy, no! I'm so sorry!"
Over the past week, the remaining Sakurakoji family was planning the funeral for Sora as they decided to invite the vampire society and also the people from the hospital who worked with him to the mourn the death of Lord Sakurakoji.
The funeral service was at one of the chapels that the Ichijo family owned.
Everyone was there.
Yuki, Zero, and their daughter Suki. Headmaster, Toga Yagari, Kaito and few other hunters to keep a lookout for a fight during the moment of peace. Bloom and Kaname's friends, Hanabusa, Akatsuki, Takuma, Serien, Rima, and Senri were there also. And the maids and the butler of both Sakurakoji and Kuran Manor were there to pay their respects.
Bloom was watching the service as she held Momohime in her arms.
"Grandpapa," Momohime sobbed softly before Bloom looked down at the pureblood toddler and rubbed her back softly, calming her down. Bloom was shushing the crying pureblood toddler as Kaname helped out by lifting his daughter out of flower pureblood's grasped and held her close to him.
Momohime clutched onto his black trench coat as she held in her tears.
"Daddy,"
"Don't cry" Kaname whispered in his daughter's ear softly. "Grandfather is in a better place now, Princess,"
"What's it called, Daddy?"
Kaname looked up at the window art that has brought more light and colors into the beautiful chapel.
"Heaven," He answered softly to his daughter.
"Sora Sakurakoji was a brilliant pureblood. A brilliant pureblood who was the adopted son of Shizuka Hio. But now he is with his loving mother who had done many sins in our society on this very day. Lord Sakurakoji had a lovely wife name Lady Tsubaki Kuran. He married her to be with her for the rest of his eternal life alongside with her son, Akihiko Kuran. Then he had two beautiful daughters named, Bloom and Yui Sakurakoji…"
The priest carried on as Bloom looked behind her to see Yuki doing her best to hold in her tears. She had her head over Zero's shoulder as he was holding his sleeping daughter, Suki. Bloom nodded to Zero before he did the same to her. She turned to her left to see her mother holding onto Akihiko while Hana, Akira, and Junichi were watching the infants.
After when Sora was buried Bloom and Kaname were the only ones left behind standing in front of his grave stone that will have it written forever.
Sora Sakurakoji.
Loving husband to Tsubaki Kuran.
Wonderful father to Akihiko Kuran-Sakurakoji, Bloom Rosalie Sakurakoji, and Yui Sakurakoji.
Magnificent grandfather to Momohime Kuran, Usui Kuran, Shinichi Haruka and Airi Kuran.
Bloom was standing still as she had her hands in front of her. Kaname was next to her as he payed his respects to him as he was only one knee.
As he silently pray to him, he stood back up after he was finished . Bloom only just stood there pale as a ghost. She only knew her father for almost about three years, since she saved him from Rido. She was about to be turning twenty in human years along with her devious sister Sara.
Now, how can she celebrate her birthday without him she wonders.
"Bloom,"
"Could you please leave me alone. Like give me a few more minutes," Bloom said softly. "I'll catch up,"
"Alright," Kaname said. "But don't take too long. We're about to depart to go back home,"
As Kaname walked away from Bloom, she turned around to see him walking away, before she turned back around to face her father's grave stone. As the snow was coming down slowly, Bloom closed her eyes and silently started crying, until she heard someone coming closer to her as she can her the snow crunching.
Bloom signed as her warm tears turned into cold ones. "Please, leave me be. I'm not going to talk right now,"
"Not even for your own sister," Sara's voice was heard from behind her as she turned around swiftly before narrowing her eyes and balling up her fists at the blonde haired princess.
"You!" Bloom hissed.
"Hello, my dear sister," Sara greeted. "Did you miss me or my voice?"
"I hate you! I hate you, so much!" Bloom hissed at her oldest twin sister as her balled up first started to engulfed with the deadly flames.
"Oh, is that a way to greet your sister, Bloomie?" Sara asked. "I thought you were sweet and innocent, just like me,"
"No, I am nothing like you, Sara," Bloom said. "You are the problem in our family. I wish that I go back in time to save my father, instead of me making that mistake. I love him with all my heart, Sara,"
"Love is for weaklings, Bloom," Sara said crossing her arms. "Especially, the ones who cry. I don't see why Kaname chose you to be his wife and queen,"
"Sara, one day," Bloom's sapphire blue eyes glowed dangerously red while looking at the blonde haired princess. "I'm going to make you suffer. I will make you burn in hell for the way, you've killed our father,"
"Even though he was our father, he was still a weak pureblood who had to go. Oh and by the way, you killed our father, not me,"
Once Bloom heard that, she immediately lunged towards her as Sara grabbed her balled up fist that was still engulfed by the deadly flames. Sara blocked Bloom's attack, before her blonde hair turned white as the snow and a few strands were standing up with deadly flames at the ends.
"You see, Bloomie," Sara said while smiling at Bloom who was shocked that Sara blocked it. "As long as I'm here, I will still be here to take away everything from you,"
With that said, Sara disseminated into bats and flying away from the cemetery. Bloom looked up at the sky before looking down at her hand that Sara grabbed, before looking back up at the grey sky.
She closed her hand and closed her eyes.
"Sara, you are going to pay for what you have done to my family," Bloom thought to herself before turning around to face her father's grave stone. "Father… I'm going to fight for our family. I hope you are proud of the way of what a pureblood turned out to be,"
"Bloom," Sora appeared from behind her as she continues to walk away from her father's grave stone. "No matter what. We will be strong, because we're purebloods,"
At Sakurakoji Manor, there was an after the funeral party at the downstairs part of the mansion as Bloom was upstairs alone in her bedroom.
She was looking out the window. Staring at the falling snow as she was just thinking, until she heard a knock at the door. Her pink hair immediately turned snow white as it was engulfed by the deadly flames. She turned her head until she looked through the door to see Kaname holding Shinichi in his arms. She calmed down as she uses her powers to unlock the door before returning back to the same position that she was in.
"Bloom,"
"Hey," Bloom responded back.
"Look who's here to see Mommy,"
Bloom turned around to see her son Shinichi who was drinking from out his baby bottle, until the flower pureblood turned back around, not acknowledging neither Kaname or Shinichi.
"Bloom," Kaname called out her name once more, before placing his son down on a nearby pillow and walked towards his soon to be ex-wife, hoping that she will respond to touch. He placed a hand on her shoulder, before she narrowed her blue eyes at it and shaked it off her. She had her blue eyes still facing the window while having her arms crossed.
"Please, speak to me," Kaname turned Bloom around slowly as she wasn't trying to look up at his worried red eyes. "I need you. Please let me in,"
"Kaname," Bloom finally looked up at her cousin's eyes. Kaname softly smile at her once she noticed the sadness in her blue eyes, until she blinked and looked away from him. Kaname's expression changed once she turned back around to face the window.
"I really don't want any company right now," Bloom said quietly.
"Please, Bloom, I need you to grieve with me and our family,"
"Just go, Kaname," Bloom hissed at him turning her body around to face him.
Shinichi dropped his baby bottle as he was wide eyed at his mother's loud voice. The baby pureblood started out screaming as he cried covering his small eyes with his hands.
Kaname didn't want to upset his loving cousin and mother to his children. So he decided to listen and left Shinichi alone with her. Bloom growled in frustration as Kaname had finally left the room.
She walked towards her crying son and tried her best to comfort him, without upsetting him even more. She cradled him into her arms, before placing a loving kiss on his forehead and his small red eyes finally opened to look deeply into her mother's beautiful blue eyes.
Bloom had a smile place on her face before she sat down on the edge of the bed. She felt bad for the way she yelled at her cousin and also the father of their children.
But now, she has her father's death on her mind. All she can think about is how Sara is going to take away her happiness. She has already taken away her brother and turned him against his family. He eventually came out of it when he had his first born son, Usui Kuran. She had already taken away her unborn baby which was caused by the possessed Akihiko Kuran, but she had forgotten all about that unborn child, until she had two beautiful babies born as a perfect gift from the heart.
She placed Shinichi down on the pillow as she stood on her knees to pulled out a long rectangular box that had the original copy of Kurai Hono. She was now the new owner of Kurai Hono now. She was now able to control stronger flames with the sword combined.
She pulled it out and held it in front of her looking at the gleaming metal of the sword. She closed her eyes as the blade was placed close the center of her face, before she opened her eyes back open as they were glowing dangerously red.
"I will not let this happen once again, Shinichi," Bloom said softly to her baby son as he finally fallen asleep. She smiled at him before placing another kiss on his forehead. "You and your two sisters have gave me so much luck,"
"But now," She places the blade of the sword underneath her long pink locks as held onto it before closing her eyes. She slashes across her hair with the blade of the sword, making her beautiful pink locks fall to the floor. Her hair was now back to shoulder length as she missed that feeling of have such short hair.
"Mommy has to go pay your auntie Sara a visit,"
Akihiko knocked on the door before walking in to see Bloom removing her black dress into something more suitable for battle. She immediately jumped and ran into the bathroom with her clothes.
"What the hell, Akihiko?!" Bloom said behind the door. "Ever heard of this new word is called 'come in or enter'?"
"I'm sorry, Bloom," Akihiko apologies before sitting down on the bed next to sleeping Shinichi. "But what makes you think that you're going to Sara's mansion without me,"
Bloom opened the door as she was finally dressed in a white tank top that was a little short. It was almost showing her belly button. She had on black cargo pants along with her brown boots covering them. She was almost dressed like a Sakurakoji soldier, but this was her training clothes.
"You want to give our sister a taste of revenge?" Bloom asked.
Akihiko nodded as he stood up from the bed, before walking towards the window, opening it.
He turned around to face his sister. "I'll get the horses ready,"
He jumped out of the window as Bloom watched him, before walking towards her bed once more.
She grabbed her phone from off the bed as she looked through her contacts to see that the name Ruka Souen was highlighted on her phone. She sighed before pressing the number and placed the phone up to her left ear. She waited as the dirty blonde haired vampire answers her phone.
"Hey Ruka… I need a favor,"
Before, you kill me for killing Sora! I'm so sorry! Please don't hurt me by unsubscribing to this story! I'm going to miss him too!
He was such a loving father and husband...
Now a third death has happened in Bloom's life. Sora Sakurakoji. You may rest in peace along with Fang and Bloom's unborn second fetus child.
Now, Bloom and Akihiko are on their way to pay Sara a deadly visit called revenge. What will happen in the next chappie? Will Bloom kill her oldest twin sister once and for all? Or someone will stop her, before something horrible happens to another love one?
