Chapter 19: Atonement for our sins

A/n: comment answering time!

The emerald mage: I feel utterly heartbroken that the anime and manga being gone is tragic. I was really hoping for more! -sighs- but alas, Some things sadly must end. Hoping for the DVD so I can...-ahem- do scientific research.

Spark flame hero 1: glad you liked it, Hope you stay for more.

Black ops 3596: me too, It honesty wouldn't feel right without more males. And quite honestly, I actually ran into a brick wall with latter chapters when I had started this story why back. Glad that I looked up the manga and it's missing characters that the anime decided to throw out because plot.

To guest: ha! Of course those two are going to have a heated argument! They hate each other

Cloud 4012: thanks for that, Let's hope Mio finds Usagi soon

That seems about it for comments it seems. Let's see how well this family will bond...

The answer is 2 out of 3 A.K.A not good when your mother is trying to outright kill you!

Also to Vass: sorry i got your comment late, You will see her in the story. Perhaps sooner than you think.

Taichi and Nozomi were sitting on a bench as Nozomi explained to Taichi about what happened to Miles, Who his real birth parents are, His little sister, And of course, How his mother was on an outright killing spree at her own flesh and blood. Needless to say, Taichi had the same emotions as the others; anger and shock.

"Dammit...you really think it's a good idea to have this Kakuyo person here at the school? I mean, What if she goes after-".

"It's okay she's not interested in anyone but Miles" Nozomi assured him.

"Yeah, She's only interested in his death!" Taichi said "Seriously how long is she going to be here?". Nozomi pondered that as well, She didn't know how long Kakuyo was staying at the school. She only stayed for one night. Nozomi then thought of her answer.

"Well, Perhaps miss Ujibe has her in some kind of punishment for hurting Miles. I'm sure that she won't be anywhere near Miles anymore" she said with a smile. Taichi smiled a bit, Hoping that she was correct. "I hope that you're right Nozomi" he said "I just hope that you're right...".

-meanwhile-

Adam and Kakuyo were making their way to Miles room, Adam was both nervous and excited to see his son again. Kakuyo however wasn't happy. Not only she been forced to see her son by her sister Ujibe, But she now had to be his personal teacher too. Kakuyo sighed as she had her hands in her pockets, A narrow glare forming on her face.

"I can't believe I'm doing this..." Kakuyo said bitterly "I wanna go home...".

"Kakuyo stop, This will be a perfect opportunity to rekindle with our son after all these years. Don't you want to see him?" Adam asked her as Kakuyo rolled her eyes. "Fuck! No! I only have one child and that's my sweet baby girl Evako! My son died as a miscarriage. End of story". Adam sighed at his wife, He wanted to see her bond with him not hate him for what he couldn't stop when he was born. In Adam's mind they made a grave mistake and they, Well mostly him at the moment wanted his son back by any means necessary.

The two stopped at the door as Kakuyo leaned back on the wall as Adam looked at her.

"Not coming in to see him?".

"Nope, You two have fun. But...if that bastered hurts you or my daughter in any way. Then I'll seriously, Without hesitation, Kill him..." Kakuyo threatened. Adam crossed his arms at her when she made that little threat.

"Okay, That's enough with threats Kakuyo. From this day forward I no longer want you to make anymore threats or mention to kill OUR son! Understand? We we're young and we made a stupid decision in our life instead of addressing the situation and trying to help out our son. No matter how much you deny it, That's our son Ketsueki Ryukosono in this room".

Kakuyo was about to protest but she saw that her husband wasn't having it. She held her tongue as she grudging agreed to his words "Alright..." she said "I won't try to kill him or making more threats at him...but I still don't have to like him".

"Just give it some time. I'm sure that the two of you might become closer".

"Eww...god I hope not...".

Adam quietly sighed in his mind as he turned his attention to the door, He was about to knock when he heard what sounded like laughing on the other side as Kakuyo's ears perked up as well as she heard it too:

"Hah hah hah! Stop it dear brother that tickles!".

"I know that it does, Now hold still Evako".

"Wait! Wait! N-not there! Anything but there!".

"Ohh? Why's that?".

"It...feels strange there...and I'm a tiny bit sensitive...".

"Well...I guess I'm gonna do it there then!".

"Wait! B-be gentle with- AHHHH!".

Kakuyo instantly snapped as she stormed over to the door and lifted her right leg up and launched it at the door, Breaking it off it's hinges, Causing it to fly at Miles and Evako. The two looked up to see the door coming at them as Kakuyo used her ass blade tail to grab the door from hitting them as she pulled it back with her two tails as she ran inside, Holding the door to the side as she ran at Miles as she used her third tail to form a claw-like hand as she aimed it at him. Causing Miles to fly right out of the window of his two story room.

SPLASH!

Miles thankfully landed in a full pool of water that was going to be used for land practice as he submerged his head up from the water. "Ah! Ah! Ah! Ah! WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH YOU KAKUYO!? Dammit I am not about to be your punching bag!" Miles shouted as he glared at Kakuyo who was glaring at him as she then jumped out the window after him. Only this time Evako was going after her.

"Mother!" Evako yelled as she followed her mother as they both landed on the ground. Evako marched in front of her mother trying to stop her as she held out her arms to her side. Kakuyo stopped in her tracks.

"Evako just step to the side sweetie" Kakuyo kindly demanded of her daughter. Evako just shock her head at her, Kakuyo sighed as she was about to walk to the side but Evako got in her way. Kakuyo sighed again.

"Sweetheart...".

"Stay away from my dear brother!".

"H-honey...I just heard him doing something to you sexually. Why are you defending him like this?".

Evako was confused by her words until Miles spoke out "Sexual? You dumbass there wasn't anything sexual-gah!" Miles was hit with the door that Kakuyo still had in her other tails. "Shut your trap you sick little shit! I knew I should have gone with the abortion as my second option! Oh I'm going to enjoy drowning you into the afterlife!". Kakuyo was about to find a way around her daughter but Evako still kept blocking her.

"He's telling the truth mother!" Evako said "He was just tickling my arm that's it! I swear that nothing of that nature happened! You really think that he would do something like that to me?" She said almost crying. Kakuyo looked at her and nodded in response.

"Yes, I believe that he would" she said truthfully.

"M-mother!" Evako said in shock.

"THAT'S IT!".

Kakuyo hadn't the time to react to Miles quickly getting out of the water and tackling her to the ground as he had his left fist aimed at her face. He glared at her as he gritted his teeth at her as Kakuyo just gave him the same glare. Miles still had his fist in the air but didn't move it at all, In fact it was shaking a bit. Kakuyo took advantage of this.

"Well...not going to hit me are we?" She mocked.

"Shut up! I'm gonna beat you into a bloody mess!" Miles said back at her. Kakuyo just licked her teeth as she then smirked at him "Then do it!" She said "Show me that you're not weak! If you can beat me up without the slightest bit of remorse. Then I'll accept you as my son" she offered him.

Miles just looked at her, His anger still showing, But his fist shaking more and more. He then glanced at his automail arm as he then lowered it down and sighed deeply. Evako smiled at her brother for not going through with giving their mother the satisfaction that she had wanted. Kakuyo's smile then faded into a frown.

Miles then proceeded to get off of Kakuyo as he stood up.

"I can't...I can't hit you like last time when we fought..." Miles admitted to her as he glance at her and held out his hand to her "I...I can't hit my m...mo-mother..." he muttered in a low tone. Kakuyo looked at his hand as she gently accepted it. Evako smiled at this as she assumed that they were going to get along. Kakuyo stood up as she dusted herself off as Miles did the same. She looked at Miles as she still frowned at him.

"Pathetic..." Kakuyo said.

"Huh? Ugh!".

Miles felt a blow to his abdomen as he looked down to see Kakuyo's fist had hit him in his stomach. Miles fell to the ground holding his body as he coughed. Kakuyo then kicked the side of his exposed hip making Miles fall over. Evako's smile turned to shock.

"Mother! Stop it!" Evako said as she went over to her brother to help him. "You're so weak" Kakuyo said as she looked Miles still holding his chest "You honesty couldn't even hit me, Heh, You're far weaker than I thought. You're not worthy to be my student, And for this I won't teach you anything".

"Oh I don't think you have that much of a choice sister".

Kakuyo looked over to see Ujibe walking over to her with the bamboo ruler in her hand. Kakuyo gulped as she then proceeded to walk the other way as she then took off running. Ujibe quickly took off after her.

"Face your punishment Kakuyo!".

"Nooo! I don't wanna! I wanna keep my butt!".

Adam had made his way down to the pool area to see the event between Ujibe and his wife unfold. He had a sweat mark on the side of his cheek as he made his way to his children and helped Miles to his feet. "Ah...ahhh. Th-thank you..." Miles said as he was still catching his breath. Adam smiled as he rubbed his son's head. "No problem son" Adam said happily causing Miles to quickly look up at him and back away.

"You! You son of a-".

"Ketsueki that's enough! I don't want to fight with you! I only want to help you. So don't even think of trying to fight with me in your current state. You're going back to your room to recover and get some new bandages. And your sister and I are going to help you. Do I make myself clear young man?" Adam said in a serious and fatherly tone, Something that Miles wasn't familiar with, He never had any sort of father figure in his life except for Grace who tried to be both for him.

Miles just kept looking at his father.

"Why...why are helping me?" He asked him. Adam looked down at the ground, His face, Now a look of shame. "Would you like me to be truly honest with you with what I'm about to say?" He asked his son. Miles nodded at him in response.

"Yes...I would like that very much".

Adam took a deep breath and gathered his words.

"Alright...ever since we abandoned you back in America all those years ago. I began to question if we did the right thing. I kept pushing that thought to the side many times, But all I could hear in my mind was your voice asking me over and over "Why did you leave me behind? Was I that worthless in your eyes for the both of you to throw me away?". This bothered me all my life until now, And I finally realized my greatest mistake that at least I had done ever since, And I missed you terribly, Hoping one day, That I could see you again and ask for your forgiveness. We truly wanted you in our lives Ketsueki...we we're young and so stupid to not think about our action or how it would affect you. We told ourselves to never speak of your name for godsake! I know that the words sorry and can you forgive me won't matter to you. And I don't blame you for being extremely angry at us. But I want to atone for my sins, And be the father figure for my only son. Ketsueki, I want to be by your side just like I was for Evako. I want to be there for you no matter what, I want to-".

"That's enough!" Miles said interrupting Adam who just stopped speaking. Miles then glanced at the ground, Forming fists as he muttered his words "I...I forgive you..." he said as he looked up at his father straight in the eye "But I can only half forgive you. You left me all alone, But I was thankfully cared and loved by the doctor Grace Panzer and became her adopted son over the years that I consider her my true mother. I do thank you for realizing your mistake, But I can't fully forgive you because of what you did. And that is something that I might hold for the rest of my life...".

Miles took one deep breath.

"But...unlike Kakuyo...I can respect you...and...I...".

Adam walked over to his son as he looked at him as he then placed his hand on his shoulder. Miles tensed up a bit as he glanced downward, His body shaking. "Ketsueki what is it? You wanted to tell me something else" Adam asked him. Miles nodded.

"Y-yeah...C-can I...".

"Son it's alright, You can tell me anything-".

Miles looked up at his father, Crying. Something he hadn't done in a long time.

"Can I have a hug...?".

Adam looked at him as a broken smile formed across his lips, He was almost looking like his son as he was about to cry as well. He didn't waste any time as he wrapped his arms around his son holding him tightly. Miles just stood there while he felt his fathers embrace. It felt warm, Real, And kind. That's when he felt Evako holding him as well as she nuzzled her head close to his.

The other teachers came out to see the commotion, Only to be greeted by a heartwarming scene. Ujibe had finally caught Kakuyo and had already given her 10 lashes to her butt, Plus an added 20. She and Kakuyo saw the three of them in their loving embrace. Ujibe couldn't help but smile and shed a few tiny tears, While Kakuyo crossed her arms as she looked away from them.

"Weakling..." Kakuyo muttered until Ujibe hit her in the side with her elbow.

"Go hug your son! He needs your support" Ujibe demanded. Kakuyo looked at Ujibe and was about to protest, But Ujibe held up the bamboo ruler in her left hand as a fire in her eyes and behind her flared. Kakuyo gulped and grudgingly walked over to her family. She stood no more than 14 feet away from them as she saw Adam and Evako smiling with tears in there eyes, That's when she glanced at Miles who was rubbing his eyes slowly and gently as to not hurt them with his automail prosthetics. Kakuyo had a hard gulp as she swallowed and proceeded to make her way over to them.

Miles was still gently rubbing the tears from his eyes, But he then felt his hands being moved away as he opened his eyes to see none other than Kakuyo rubbing his eyes gently. Her face completely emotionless and cold, But for a split second he could have saw a very tiny hard to see smile and tear visible.

"You'll...you'll cut yourself with your metal prosthetics you idiot...didn't your mother teach you anything...?" Kakuyo said in her own way of a "Motherly" tone to her oldest child. Miles didn't feel like fighting with her so he just accepted her cold attitude as a form of her way of affection.

"Tha-thank you..." Miles muttered until Kakuyo spoke up "Shut the fuck up! Just...just shut up and let me clean your tears you little bitch..." Kakuyo said in her regular tone. "I still don't like you...and me doing this isn't going to make us be all mommy and son or any kind of crap like that. You're still a weakling in my eyes, And I'm going to keep reminding you of that when I train you! I won't show you any mercy! do you understand me boy!".

Miles just stayed silent when she finished speaking only for Kakuyo to glance away from his gaze as she then placed her hand on his head. As that was going on, Usagi had made her way from under the bed as she looked down to see Miles and his family. She sighed that he was alright.

"Ohhh beloved..." Usagi said dreamily as she looked at him with hearts above her head. However said daydreaming was interrupted by none other than Mio.

"Well well, Looks like I found me a horny bunny!" Mio said happily causing Usagi to frantically turn around. As soon as she saw that it was Mio, Her smile widened even more.

"B-beloved! I-I mean M-Mio...I umm..." Usagi said in a bit of both a panic and loving affection. Mio giggled at this, She knew that deep down that Usagi had a thing of admiration for her. But she always wanted to tease her about it. Mio then walked over to her and placed her arm on her shoulder. Usagi felt like she was in heaven. But quickly glanced over at Miles to see him and his family leaving.

"Ah! Beloved!".

"Someone on your mind horny bunny?".

"Oh! Umm n-no not at all beloved! I mean, Mio! Just a friend" Usagi tried to lie but fail. Mio smiled at her as she then proceeded to walk with her out of the room. "Come on, You're gonna miss breakfast if we don't hurry! You must be starving" she said.

As soon as Mio said that, Usagi's stomach rumbled, Causing her to blush in embarrassment.

"Y-yeah...I'm super hungry..." she admitted. Mio smirked as the two walked down the hallway as Mio's smile smirked even more. Mio couldn't wait to play with her.

A/n: done! Well Kakuyo is an outright cunt now isn't she? Place your raging anger towards her in the comments dear fans and friends. I have to sadly get some sleep for I have work early in the morning. But I'll be sure to check my phone for nighttime comments and PM's.

Night night. I need to update the list to write about next. I'm actually surprised this story isn't on archives of self inserts and oc's. But meh, Whatever.

Night!
