CHAPTER 13: Father
It did not take long before Miwa along with Ukyo and Ema arrived in their destination, a huge mansion in the middle of the deserted lands of Kyoto. Once they reached the double mahogany doors they were greeted by a handsome young-looking man that somewhat resembles Hikaru except for the hair colour. He smiled at them yet his eyes were cold and calculating.
"It has been awhile Ukyo" He spread his arms and waited for the younger man to awkwardly hug him but the hug did not take long for Ukyo to step back
"Good day Father— we are here to take Hikaru—" The man grabbed Ukyo by his mouth and he pull him and his eyes narrowed at the boy.
"Be quiet" The man warned and then he notices the young lady with his son and his ex-wife. "Who told you to come here whore?"
"Is that how you greet the mother of your children, Rude as usual" Miwa glared at the man
"Hahahaha mother of my children? You are just a whore who gave birth to my sons. You ungrateful bitch."
"Where is Hikaru? I know he is here"
"Even if he is here what makes you think that I will allow my son to come with you when you hurt him once more"
"I-I did not mean it"
"I will make sure the council will have a wind of this and you'll lose custody to all your children. Leave or you really want to lose custody of them."
At the end of the day, Miwa failed to retrieve her son back from the cruel noble of the vampire kind. She tried to compensate but the man threatened that he'll call the council to tell them Miwa's insolence. Miwa, an illegitimate child from a noble house married the Lord of one of the ruling families of the vampire world. Yet their marriage did not go well and thus ending it is her only choice. She divorced him and she took her sons into her custody. There she met another noble yet the man is no better than her first husband thus, she ended her marriage with her second husband.
"Mother, don't worry I will talk to father" Masaomi reassured the devastated woman. He is also as unhappy as their father after he had a wind of what Miwa did to Hikaru but he won't fault her too for trying to be a mother to which is failed in doing so.
"He told me that he'll call the council if—" Miwa cried
"Hikaru is a prideful man and yet he is still a good son. He'll come back surely. Louis is here after all. He loves that boy as if they are real brothers."
"Masaomi, am I really a horrible mother?"
"You want me to answer that" It wasn't a question, rather an underlying threat that Masaomi gave their mother. The woman flinched.
"…"
"I'll call Hikaru. Stay here and don't bother anyone anymore"
Days became nights and nights became months, Hikaru never showed himself again to the Asahina household still, he will meet with his other siblings during his vacant time. Louis asked him once if he doesn't have any plans of going home. The boy admitted that he feels lonely without Hikaru and Ema is becoming a nuisance to him and to their siblings. Fights became their daily meal. Their brothers are all in love with that woman, Louis once said and there is a hint of disappointment into his voice. Hikaru upon hearing it went back only to tell Ema to leave his brothers alone and to stop seducing them already. Ema cried and Hikaru earned the ire of his siblings except for the indifferent Louis.
"Louis, why don't you come with me?" Hikaru once said
"Hmmm will that be fine with your father?" The mauve prince asked.
"Out of all my brothers, you are the one whom he likes most. Come with me"
"Okay" Louis answered to which surprised Hikaru. Normally, Louis will argue with him but now, the boy just said yes. He observed the dark lines under his brother's eyes.
A few more days and Louis arrived at the mansion of Hikaru's father. Louis greeted the older man politely to which the said man whole-heartedly welcomed him into their home.
Author's note: Up next Miwa is devastated.
