"How does your neck feel Yui?" Kou asked looking at Yui his eyes holding a concerned looked as he looked at Yui's foggy expression and he saw his words break through to the girl.
"It's fine, it stings a little is all." Yui said as she looked up at him forcing a shaky smile and he smiled just faintly as he looked at Yui intently then reached out touching her pale cheek and sighed softly sitting next to her.
"Yui I think you should learn how to use your powers now. You need to protect yourself and. . . I think you'll be able to unlock your memories if you can harness your powers." Kou said sounding slightly dull as he looked at Yui as though he didn't want her to remember, like he was going to be forgotten the minute she remembered.
"I. . see, if that's so then I need to learn this." Yui said standing up then she wrapped her arms around Kou and hugged him rather tight much to his light surprise and he wrapped his arms back around her. "It'll be okay Kou. No matter what I remember I'm not going to just toss you to the side."
"I know but still I just don't like the fact you'll remember the things you went through with them." Kou said softly hugging her tighter almost fiercer and she sucked in a breath as best as she could and she shut her eyes resting her cheek against his chest.
"I understand Kou but it's not like you can protect me from this, it's something I'll remember and deal with." She said softly but fiercely against his chest then pulled away looking up at him with a full blown grin. "Besides after what we've done I'd be very stupid not to stay with you."
"Yes you would be." Kou said smiling crookedly letting out a chuckle as he looked at her then reached pulling on one of her blonde locks of hair gently. "Now let's go see Aika okay? You'll have to start practicing now."
"Alright." She said chuckling gently herself and she placed her hand in his and they walked to her bedroom door going out it then down the hall slowly. "You know Kou, I won't be able to just leave you, you know. If I was trated differently with the Sakamaki's I don't know if I'll be too eager to go back to them but if I do we'll stay together. I'll let you take my blood whenever you wish."
"Even so Yui, nothing would stop them from taking your blood I mean look at what Shu did the minute he walked in the room. The other brothers' are just like him practically when it comes with taking blood from you." Kou said a bit angrily and haughtily as he glowered slightly making Yui giggle as they reached the end of the hall turning to the right going down the stairs lightly.
"Don't pout. I'll do my best to deny them if I have too but I will give them some blood Kou, if they desperately need it if not then I won't give them it alright?" Yui said looking at Kou feeling a bit better about the situation when he paused their walking at the bottom of the stairs and he turned facing her brushing her blonde hair away from her face gently and leaned down kissing her slowly and almost savoringly making her blush heavily.
She wrapped her arms around his neck her heart threatening to beat free of her chest then she pulled back her mind growing foggy with this new perverse nature of hers that was slowly coming unlocked and she wondered if it was A) Her Fey blood sparking with his touches B) If she was becoming a horny perverted girl because she was at least some part or half demon and it was just a thing for demons to be perverted or C) It was just human hormones.
"I like that you seem to blush every time I do that." Kou murmured sounding sweeter and more sincere than Yui had ever heard him sound ever before and she smiled leaning up giving him a light kiss.
"You're also making me so perverted Kou. You're rubbing off on me." Yui said jokingly making Kou laugh and he held her just a bit tighter and closer making her heart accelerate a little bit once again and he let her go with a low chuckle.
"It's kind of. . . interesting and nice being with a human sometimes. Or whatever it is you are." Kou said jokingly making Yui roll her eyes then tap his cheek lightly but he just turned his head kissing her finger tips.
"Shut up." Yui said but it lacked any heat behind her words and she grinned before turning and walking to the door leading to the parlor where her mother sat in every day and she entered it seeing her mother flash a smile at her.
"Ready to start finally?" Aika asked looking at Yui and with just one more look at Kou who smiled brightly Yui nodded shutting the door behind her taking a deep breath to calm her nerves that were suddenly acting up.
"Come on Yui you're doing an amazing job!" Aika said enthusiastically smiling and Yui felt sweat beginning to prick at her skin as she stared intently at the glass cup she was managing to morph and reform over and over again. When the cup lowered back to the table Yui felt completely drained surprisingly.
"Is that good enough for today?" Yui asked looking at her mother tiredly. Her mind felt like it was filled with static and her body was too heavy for her liking at that moment.
"I just want to try one more thing Yui. You're doing beautifully with your Fey magic but if my suspicions are true and what I think for you is if demons possess some powers of their own then I think you might also have those powers also they just might be intertwined with the Fey magic. I want you to look at me Yui and I want you to try and get me to do something-anything- and I want you to try and find the switch for the other magic not the Fey." Aika said standing up brushing her hands against the skirt of her dress looking at Yui her long hair flowing around her shoulders nearly floating and Yui just looked at heri n shock.
"So you think. . . I might have something-magic or power-from Carla? That's darker?" Yui asked trying to wrap her foggy mind around the fact that she might have some darker tints to her Fey powers than she thought but it was the thought that her mother wanted her to use it on her that scared her the most honestly in that moment.
"Yes I do. You are a mix of Fey and Demon Yui, I know you have something in you that just hasn't been reached yet that will make you blossom into your powers and I feel you will be able to use your powers fully my dear. Now you need to listen to my words first, I do want you to try and find the switch but like we did to get you this far we're going to use that form of hypnosis again. I want you to lay back on the couch for me." Aika said grabbing Yui's hand and she walked her daughter over to the couch laying her down and she got on her knees next to her daughter stroking Yui's bangs away from her face softly.
"And are you sure this'll really work?" Yui asked softly meeting her mothers eyes evenly and the woman nodded smiling gently.
"It will, it worked once now didn't it?" Aika said kissing Yui's forehead then rested her hand on Yui's forehead."However I'll use a little of my own powers to help you a little more this time, just to give you a tiny little push is all you'll barely feel it."
"Okay." Yui said nodding feeling a little more determined to do this as she closed her eyes and quickly allowed herself to fully relax.
"Alright, I want you to envision a room, but unlike the last room this room will have dark red walls that look almost black. They'll be a few candles flickering but this room is darker thoguh and in front of you is a table and on that table there's a cup with a cover over it. I want you to walk forward and grab this cup the best you can and try to get the cover off of it." Aika said softly and lowly in Yui's ear, a soft little glow forming under her hand helping Yui gently and before Yui knew it she was in the room her mother described.
The room was black almost and very dark but Yui could see the red tint to the colored walls and she looked in front of her seeing the cup and walked forward towards the small table and when she wrapped her hands around the cup and lifted it, it was so damn heavy it felt like Yui was trying to pick up a boulder. She felt a little push against her mind and she lifted the cup up an inch grateful her mother was managing to help her even in this state and she blew out a soft breath lifting it up further even if it was like lifting a boulder and she held it to her chest lifting her hand to the cover pulling on it hard.
It was like it was super glued to the cup but Yui knew she'd just let her mother down if she gave up now and she kept yanking and pulling on the cover and before she knew it, it was off and a black mist seem to come out and slammed into Yui. She jolted up with a hoarse cry sweat forming at her temples and forehead as she bolted up right her hands shaking horribly and she knew her mother was asking her a million questions but she couldn't hear it over the hum of static in her head that seemed worse than ever and she knew her breathes were coming to fast. She felt like she was going to faint, everything was suddenly so overwhelming and she looked at her mother.
"I'm. . . . I'm thirsty." Yui whispered hoarsely and thickly. She barely recognized her voice, it was like she had been screaming but it was drier than a desert and her mother reached over to the table bringing her a cup of water with a straw and Yui gulped down the water quickly, a little bit trickled down her chin as she cupped it down. She felt like crying, it felt so good running down her throat and filling her mouth with refreshing coldness.
"You must be hungry too. I'm sorry this too so long but you did it perfectly Yui, I could feel the wave of power that came off of you, I love you so much my little princess." Aika said smiling like a proud mother would as she reached stroking Yui's cheek gently and Yui closed her eyes tiredly.
"It's okay." Yui murmured gently as she looked at her mother smiling softly and her mother stood up rubbing her head gently and then Kou was walking through the door scooping her up into his arms and she never felt more happier seeing him at that moment. "Was I out for a long time?" She murmured again looking at her mother.
"Yes you were out for quite a while but for now just go and rest Yui. You'll need it for your continuation of your training." Aika said gently looking worriedly at Yui reaching up stroking her hair away from her face when Yui felt very happy and warm, even as she was being carried up the stairs. Nothing would matter to her anymore, so long as her mother loved her and so long as she had Kou with her she had nothing to worry about. Right?
