And Saori finally speaks out about what she's gone through!

Chapter 7: Speaking Out

Miyo was absoultely in a mixture of emotions when she saw Saori standing in front of her and words couldn't even get into her on how much she was definitely seeing what she was seeing and Miyo looked into her eyes and she knew that it was her. Saori looked at Miyo and couldn't believe it either and she said, "I've missed you."

"I've missed you too." Miyo said, then quickly hugs her deeply.

Saori hugged her back and she had missed her a lot and felt her warm embrace as she wrapped her arms around her and Miyo said, "I knew you'd come home."

Then, she took a look at her and sees every single cuts, scars and marks over her face and she was alarmed by much she's gotten and brought her inside the house and she sat down with Saori and said, "Are you all right?"

"I guess." Saori answered.

Miyo looked at her eyes and she could tell that this did not come with an accident and said to her, "We were all so worried about you since that person kidnapped you."

Saori figured that she was talking about that night she got held against her will with Kabishi and she started to get really scared to tell Miyo about this because she recalled that threat he made to her years earlier that if she does tell anyone that he'll brutally kill her, but she knows that she can trust Miyo with everything and anything and she said, "I've had to deal with a lot. And I always thought I sufferred a lot when I was younger than that."

"Your brother was definitely scared for you." Miyo added.

"How scared?" asked Saori.

"Like...whenever he thinks of you and that if he ever finds the person that captured you, he was gonna kill him." Miyo replied.

Saori nodded her head at this in agreement and she told her, "Sadly...I'm gonna be married to him."

That totally shocked her to the point where she was speechless that Saori's gonna be married to this person and she asked, "What made you want to marry him?"

"He forced it out of me. I would never marry this guy after what he did to me over those years of being his little bitch." Saori replied.

"He called you that?" asked Miyo, a little shocked.

"Every year. He said that I was his and no one else's." Saori replied.

Miyo was slightly angered at this...of course with the fact that this guy labeled her as his bitch and forcing her to get married and she had no idea what kind of grief he put her through and she said, "Did this guy hit you?"

Saori knew that this was the benefit of this question and she wanted to deny it so bad, but she can't keep this secret forever because it was too mucyh suffering and she didn't care if Kabishi was gonna bring her some bodily harm if she told and she looked at Miyo in the eye and replied, "Yes...every year."

Miyo puts her paws on her mouth in shock as Saori explains every detail that Kabishi put her through and with each event...Miyo was really disturbed with everything he did to her and with her throwing in the fact that he's got a dark daemon power...she knew that Saori made the right decision to come back and said, "Saori...you didn't do anything to deserve to be treated like that."

"But the real reason why I wanted to come back...so I can see Max again." Saori replied.

"You still love him?" asked Miyo.

"I've always loved Max. There's no one that I love more than him and Kabishi throws in some stupid lies saying that he's a rapist and he'll manipulate me. I know in my heart that he's too sweet a guy to do that." Saori added.

"I ought to meet that jerk." Miyo said, with a growl.

"You wouldn't. He'll rape you too." Saori said, with an alarming voice.

Miyo then turned her head to the side and asked, "Rape me? How do you know?"

"Before I even left, I saw him raping two other girls in a house that he wanted to force them to mate with him and that he'd kill them if the girls didn't comply." Saori answered.

"He's a rapist?! And he forced you to marry him?!" Miyo asked.

"Yeah."

Miyo looked at her in the eye and said, "You're staying here with us. And I'm sure that if he ever comes here...he's gonna have to deal with me."

"Just promise me you won't mention this to Akashi. I just wanna explain this to him as soon as I can." Saori replied.

"Of course. I'm just...really glad you're back." Miyo replied, then hugged her.

Saori hugged her back as well and said, "It's good to be back."

"You know...Max has been thinking about you and he still loves you after all those years." Miyo added.

That part pretty much made Saori really hopeful that that's true and asked, "Really?"

"Yep. There's still a chance if you wanna meet up again." Miyo said.

All of a sudden, Akashi comes back inside the tower and just felt bone exhausted and he walks past Miyo and Saori and said, "Hey, girls. I've never been this tired before in my life."

"Yes, I bet." Miyo replied.

"Hey, big brother."

Akashi froze in his tracks and thought that he might be dreaming and when he slowly turned around, he didn't notice Saori standing there and when he walked closer to her, he looked at her in hopes that it's really her and one simple blink could tell that it's her.

"Saori?" asked Akashi.

She lets out a smile and playfully punched his shoulder and that's how he can tell it's his tiger sister and he immediately hugged her tightly and picked her up and spun her around and said, "I missed you so much! I thought I would never ever see you again!"

Saori was almost starting to lose air from Akashi's grip and she said, "I missed you too. Now, can you please get off?"

Akashi quickly lets go of her and he said, "Sorry."

"Still the same old Akashi." Saori added.

Akashi lets out a little smile as he looked at Saori and he said, "I'd like to know what this guy did to you."

"How can you tell?" asked Saori.

Akashi glared at her and he responded, "My aura. I know that he beat you up, called you his bitch, forced you to marry him and attempted to rape you. Am I right?"

Saori was really surprised that he knew about this in full form, but not surprised that his aura is already right and said, "Always."

"I'm glad you actually left this guy." Akashi replied.

"Actually...he doesn't know I'm gone. I left after I saw him raping two girls...of which I had no clue that he was seeing other women and planned to take full advantage to them." Saori explained.

Akashi and Miyo were looking at each other and knew that Saori would need some extra protection and Akashi spots a blue bandana that Saori's holding and he asked, "Is that Max's bandana?"

"Yeah. Each time I look at it, it reminds me of happy times I had with him. He's the reason why I left that monsterous rapist." Saori replied.

"He's been thinking a lot about you. And he says that if he would've done something to stop it, he would." Akashi added.

That made her a little choked up and asked, "He said that?"

"He loves you more than life itself and still does. And I'll say this again...he's gonna make a great husband for you." Akashi added.

Saori knew she had feelings for Max and to hear that Max still has those feelings for her made her feel like there's gonna be hope for both of them and she hugged Akashi and said, "Thank you. It feels so good to be back home."

"Right where you belong." Akashi said, with tears in his eyes.

The Okami family has finally reunited! How will Max react when he sees she's back? Master of Stories; Akashi, Saori, Miyo and everyone...weigh in please! Stick around for more!
