Chapter 42 messy family reunion

Chapter 42 messy family reunion

"Wait why the heck do you ask for that of all things." (Setsuna)

Yuki avoided eye contact but even Rem could connect the dots.

"Though your her reincarnation that inherited her memories after Lin's death. You didn't come to terms with it completely. You fear Hina as a angel don't you. Whereas you knew her as a human didn't have as much influence on you. Your frighten by her ability to believe what those gods give order to the late Hina did." (Rem)

(Trans: following words blindly without a care.)

"What the heck do you know about the current me." (Yuki)

"A lot more than you do. Since I can read thoughts. Soul memories are past life memories that are imprinted into your very being as exact as the actual events that happen yet no one normal has a way to see it. Well except Lin. Even if she knew the answers she won't tell you it straight now will she." (Rem)

"I know. In her memories she had a round about way of hiding things to protect someone else. That's also how the devil Ember died. I'm surprised she named her daughter after that devil." (Yuki)

"Actually she named our 1st child after the 3rd Phoenix queen." (Rem)

"You know that you fearing yourself is reasonably normal since Lin was in control of you before you know. Like went super stupid. Well aside from your brother complex." (Setsuna)

"Oh shut it Sun." (Yuki)

"Aww, there we are. My loving older sister is back." (Setsuna)

"By the way how does Lin know her kid is even the 3rd Phoenix queen and not the devil." (Yuki)

"First of all she was born already, second of all it's her name that Lin named her afterwards. She's neither the demon Devil Ember, or the 3rd Phoenix queen." (Rem)

"Oh ho. Sister do you mind the title Mother of all Angels." (Setsuna)

In a sense it's true, so much so she wanted to bang her head in the wall and shout at her previous self like why? I don't want this label.

"Congrats." (Setsuna)

The joke got on Yuki's nerves so she pinched Setsuna's cheeks. Yes she remembered this feeling of uselessness and frustration. The current her just let out a frustrated yell as she pushed Setsuna away from her.

"Damn it's a freaking miss. I told you it wasn't easy to kill the little girl." (White beard man)

Yuki's eyes narrowed at the vampire then Setsuna, her eyes were questioning her sister as if to say is this a thing for you. Being in danger.

"No. I don't even know them sister." (Setsuna)

Ember face palmed as she was thinking I maybe young but can't you be more obvious about not knowing them. Like the hell you do is say it out loud. I'm just a kid but if I was her I'd go with telepathy not straight out denial. Even Rem who was a Abyssal chaos beast just let out a wry smile as she picked up baby Snow.

"Boss they said getting rid of this immortal can help with one of our plan." (White beard man)

Yuki's eyes turned cold when she heard the man talk on the phone. Her face turned up a blank as she remembered of the vampire the other night ago. But she had a sense this was deja vu for her. She couldn't put her word on it but she was sure this scene had happened before.

She remembered where she'd seen it. Rather she saw it twice before this, her sister Aki had just finished hunting a grassland rabbit and a vampire lunged at her hand. There was another scene she had recalled of Hima when Hina was only 13 years old. The demon sister of hers charged to cover her whole body when the vampire tried to kill her not drink from her. Anger flashed through her all over again, she didn't hate all vampires but she hated being threaten by them for no reason.

"You know what I think I'll massacre myself so annoyance to free this anger though I know the rest aren't at fault but seems my sister's being targeted. Now I can't have that now can I." (Yuki)

Setsuna shivered since she knew her sister had been angered. The only other time she saw her sister angered was when Hima locked her older brother inside a tower. That was a disaster, Hina as a human still was powerful enough to make her shiver, yet when she was reborn as a human that died down. (Lin split from her and her powers disappeared mostly. To be exact they went to sleep. Whereas Setsuna's was unlocked on full blast since then.)

"Say how nice it is to have a family reunion. Don't bother this is the last of these vampires. They were so bothersome." (Izumi)

Yuki stretched her arm out as if she wanted to touch Hima but she was out of reach. Her eyes only widen when rose petals of red blood fell to the ground and Izumi's hand came from the man's bloodied throat. What really surprised her was Izumi's expressionless look like she didn't have the time nor care. She did really chase down the vampire from another corrupt human's house. The fat chubby man they called Daddy Golds that owned half the city, she killed him and all the vampires hiding in the building. This was the last one, it annoyed her when she saw Setsuna. Both her eyes narrowed at Setsuna.

(By the say she hasn't noticed mc cause she doesn't see souls and she's aware of Setsuna cause her aura and mannerism seems familiar so she knows it's Setsuna.)

"So are we going to play your stupid game of family." (Izumi)

"Hima don't throw that at me like you don't know how I feel about what happened back then." (Setsuna)

"Look her Hima. It was a accident she didn't mean to kill me." (Yuki)

"Oh so you found sister's reincarnation to play along with your stupid play." (Izumi)

"As if your one to talk your the one that values family more than anything back then and even now. Your also more emotionally unstable." (Yuki)

Izumi's eyes narrowed at Yuki as she realized that Yuki also had Hina's memories. Her hand went to her eyes as she burst into laughter.

"Dear gods, the obedient pet is actually lecturing me. Hina, my dear sister your words are like poison for me. Have faith in human nature, believe the gods and their rules as well as their logic. Did you know that was the reason I turned into a fallen angel in the first place. Those petty rules that chain you down. I got tired of the so called fake heaven." (Izumi)

Her words stunned even Setsuna since she didn't want to talk about her circumstances before.

"Did Lin tell you sister she helped me regain most of my freedom. I like being unrestrained, yet that was used against me in the last war against you. You did as the gods ask without questioning. Does massacring millions and billions not weigh on your dear mind. Oh no it didn't. When I first did so I couldn't stop throwing up, I was disgusted by my own self. Damned, that's what I felt for angels. Say sister does killing innocent lives and remembering every single one of their helpless expressions disgust you." (Izumi)

Yuki almost threw up when the words were said, it scared even her. Hina's kind unquestioning self, it disgusted her to no end when she end when Hina's memories of child labor was involved. Rather she was happy most of it was vague until Izumi mentioned the crimes that Hina did yet she ended up happy living her life as angel.

"You demons weren't exactly right either." (Yuki)

"Right at least we left those humans alive. Well maybe alive after torture and living life in the worlds made a living hell on earth for them but we had to do something to balance out the ugly truths right. Yet humans turn right and wrong around flipping white and black saying angels are pure and in the right. Demons are damned and in the wrong. Well that's only devils though. We never did anything beyond correcting what you fucked up angels made a mess of. But yet here's something interesting your descendants of your birth lineage actually tried his best to correct the wrongs, he even created a family rule to honor those wrongs." (Izumi)

"You can't mean." (Yuki)

"Very much so. Did he tell you what the god actually did to your daughter that disgusts me and all demons. He put her to sleep for eons, your son and his descendants tried for generations to awaken her. Ah you didn't know that did you Hina. I also brought her here to this planet to see if someone can awaken her." (Izumi)

Izumi gave a annoyed look at Yuki's stunned face. The last information struck a nerve for both her and Hina. She didn't know how to react to these facts, nor the ones that Rachel threw at her. He's still looking for his mother.

"I have no idea what your talking about." (Yuki)

"Oh really, so you don't know your first eldest son's twin sister who's a pure angel instead was sealed into a deep sleep since birth nor about her birth. Wow and your lover tried to fucking hide her from your so called god. Oh right you had to kill him in war when he tried to reason with you who only followed orders blindly." (Izumi)

The words were like a stab to Hina which caused Yuki to flinch. This was her previous life's mistakes yet it was haunting the current her to hear this one and about the massacre. It felt like her heart was silently bleeding.

"Say does living as a angel please you now. Hey if someone had a choice would they in the realms choose a angel or a demon? If it were me I wouldn't regret choosing a demon, since they're the most strong with a sense of justice aside from that stupid clan that obediently follows the gods orders." (Izumi)

Yuki felt a mental stab in her mind, Izumi noticed her expression and nodded in satisfaction.

"See even the current you doubt them. Well I wouldn't mind one goddess and that's only the half angel and half vampire Yuki's mother. She did try to fight for racial equality rights. Right Setsuna." (Izumi)

Setsuna lowered her head slowly but she didn't argue with Izumi. This was how Hima was she'd lecture them the right from the wrong. Her kindness only extended to her family, yet that backfired in her last life. So Setsuna had no clue how her sister was currently.

"I still clean up the fuck up of society as usual. Though I might not be able to as much since she requested me to do some major clean ups. Those pricks messed up many things all over the place. (Trans: she means the timelines and she's talking about living time keepers. 1st generation got kidnapped by Time as we all know so Hima doesn't have to kill her. And 2nd and 3rd one died of old age.) I do kinda owe her." (Izumi)

"Why am I getting chills down my arms." (Setsuna)

"Because I can't read her thoughts either this isn't funny. Chaos beast can read thoughts like instincts." (Rem)

"Well that's too bad sometimes for me logic and instincts are all in one in my body I have no need for excessive planning. Hey Rem did Lin tell you about Ling Yue's crush. Or how she tried to help her first love until the very end but ended up utterly disappointed in both her sister in law and Blade." (Izumi)

"You are not going where I think you are." (Yuki)

"Oh I am. If Setsuna wants to play family she has to get to know the current me and who I'm doing my request for." (Izumi)

Setsuna's eyes widen in horror as she sensed what's wrong.

"NO! You can't FREAKING MEAN you were hired to kill them all for Lin." (Setsuna)

Yuki tilted her head in confusion even Rem could connect the dots she backed away horrified. She never blamed time keepers for her daughter's tragic childhood that was slowly unfolding. What makes it worst was her daughter wasn't a adult until 1000 years old by Phoenix years. So it was along tragedy after tragedy happening. Her pet getting massacred protecting her at age 3. Her father of the world was killed by her own best friend. Then her sister was used as a living sacrifice by some villagers she was passing by on the journey.

(Remember she's a royal Phoenix so she has photographic memories and her powers can be inherited by her incarnations but yes her mother is horrified by each events cause they all happened within a few months. And yes these are what happened so far. Rem has been keeping tabs on her too.)

"Say Rem can they say what their lives are justified if a innocent child is suffering in their place. Can those people say 'oh we're the most sorry and pathetic yet miserable people in life so we want to erase our existence. They're nothing like the 1st one she actually did it cause if she didn't her kingdom and her world would be eaten by a destruction dragon. At least her pathetic life was honorable the rest are fucked up weaklings who can't handle reality." (Izumi)

'Her bluntness shocks me.' (Ember)

Ember took Snow from her mother and silently nodded. Izumi wiped her hand of the blood from hand. Clearly she was tired of talking with the two. Hina was known for her kindness so much it was blinding for her, Setsuna was stubborn and Hima for her sense of right and wrong. 

"But I have to agree with Lin. If I want to be reincarnated to our old worlds and I had a choice I'd choose royal Phoenix bloodline. Even if they're more traditional than most." (Izumi) 

They stood there stun as she vanished as quick as she came. (Nope she only went there by coincidence and wasn't even looking for her sisters, she was looking for a prey that she almost lost on the trail.)
