Chapter 106

"PUT ME DOWN! I SHOULD GO WITH MOM!"

"HOW ABOUT YOU SHUT UP AND LISTEN! WHAT THE HELL WERE YOU THINKING?!"

"I WAS THINKING MY SISTER WAS IN DANGER!"

"SO YOU THOUGHT YOU'D THROW YOURSELF IN THERE AND BROUGHT THE HUMAN WITH YOU!?"

"OH YEAH, PLAY THE HUMAN CARD! SHE'S JUST AS POWERFUL AS THE REST OF US! YOU'RE JUST A BIGOT!"

Did she just imply what I think she did?! That fucking…

"YOU GO TOO FAR! YOU BLANTANTLY DEFIED MY ORDERS! YOU PUT YOUR SIX YEAR OLD SISTER IN DANGER! YOURSELF IN DANGER! DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA WHAT COULD'VE HAPPENED TO YOU?! DO YOU?!"

"WE WERE FINE! WE BROUGHT THAT BITCH DOWN! NOT YOU! NOT…"

"ENOUGH! SIT YOUR ASS DOWN AND SUBMIT OR I SWEAR TO GOD I WILL STRIP YOU OF BETA!"

Yeah, you sit down you little fucking…

"You gunna listen? Good. How did you know she was a dark miko?"

"Well…to be honest, it wasn't us. Katsuro told us."

"So Miroku's boy…an untrained child… was able to sense what your mother and I couldn't? You really expect me to…"

"Stop acting like you don't know his name. Besides, ask him yourself if you don't…"

"Don't kid yourself. He's in a world of hurt for telling you to go."

"He didn't…"

"Silence. I'm the one asking questions. How did you get through the barrier?"

"What barrier?"

"Don't play stupid! You told me to slow down! You knew there was a barrier."

"Okay, Moriko cast a barrier around us in case of blow back. You were charging without one so I thought…"

"Well there was a god damn barrier and you don't get to tell your mother and I about battle tactics! You don't know anything about battle! That was out of line! How did you get through?"

"I…I don't know. We…we just kept running."

Is it possible they're stronger than us? No, no fucking…no, that's not what matters here.

"You don't know?! Are you fucking kidding me!? You deliberately disobeyed me and your mother on a whim?! You put both of your sisters in danger!"

"Moriko was…"

"Moriko is six. She barely has any proper training and you brought her into a battle with you! That was so stupid Izayoi! So stupid!"

"We beat the dark miko though. We…we beat her and…"

"I really don't give a shit!"

"But…"

"No! What you did was completely irresponsible and reckless! What's worse is you put your sisters in danger! No, shut up! You've been…

"But we beat..."

"I said shut up! God, you…you never…know what? You're stripped of beta and I'm casting you out of the pack until further notice! You are not to communicate with your siblings or…"

"That's not fair!"

"And I don't care! You have been acting like a spoiled brat! Mouthing off to me and your mother! Deliberately disobeying us right and left! Today was the final straw! Get out!"

"Dad I…"

"Go!"

"What…what about school?"

"That's up to you! Ain't nothing stopping you from going and it's no longer my concern!"

"You're being…"

"I have been too lenient on you! I'm done! You're too old to be acting like this! I will not have you putting your brother and sisters in danger because you want to play hero! Go!"

"Dad…don't do…"

"GO!"

Kagome is going to kill me but this is the only way she'll learn. Besides...Kagome'll understand. It's...it's like taking away a privilege or...or grounding her, right? I didn't go too far. Besides, she can't keep doing this type of shit. She could've...she could've…oh god, I could've lost her today. In a way more permanent than casting her out. Besides, just because I've kicked her out...temporarily...doesn't mean I won't protect her.

I just...

I can't watch another person I love die.

I can't do it anymore.

Even if it means she hates me.

I'll do what needs to be done.

To keep her safe.

Because I love her.

Always.
