"Yeah… Everyone, follow me." Yumie said as she disappeared from where she was standing and soon everyone followed her, and it didn't even take them 5 seconds before all of them arrived at the designated place where Yuki was waiting. In that couple of minutes that they were gone, she had already placed everything that needs to be placed such as picnic tables and chairs, as well as a mat if someone ever wants to sit on the ground, of course, all of the food is now displayed.
"What took you guys so long?" Yuki asked as she turned around and what they saw was the same look on Yuki that she always has, a cold and emotionless face that makes it impossible to know what she is thinking. It was void of emotion which made them even more tense as there was simply none who can read it and they have no choice now, they asked her the question that all of them wants to know, and they were now going to get their answer. So all of them rushed to take a seat and it didn't even matter how close or far it was to Yuki.
"Fufufu… it seems that all of you are really interested in me, especially my past. But don't worry, as I promise I'll tell you." Yuki chuckled lightly as she then slowly begins her story, again she was not going to hide anything from all of them except for the System that she had. It was still too early for her to tell them its existence, it just may cause more danger to them instead of giving some advantages.
Yuki said everything, from the moment she was born to her last moments on Earth. With her insane memory, it was not a problem for he to recall every moment that has happened throughout her life, especially now that she is not a human but a Fox which is a superior Race than the Human. And because of her concise and straight-to-the-point storytelling, it was very easy for all of them to understand her words and after approximately 20 minutes of narrating her life, Yuki was finally done narrating her life, and just as she expected she saw their dreaded expression which made it for her hard to swallow.
"No need to pity me, I don't need it. Plus, it doesn't even affect me." Yuki placed her hand under the table and she squeezed it tightly to the point where blood was slowly oozing out of it. She doesn't like it one bit after seeing their expression, it tells her that they feel sad about her and that is one thing that she hates, but she can let it slide since all of them are very close to her, but what she can't accept is that seeing them with such sad expressions. She doesn't any one of them to have such expressions, she only wants them to smile happily.
After her explanation, all of them finally understood why Yuki grew to be like this, it was because she doesn't want to be hurt anymore by anyone, as she had already had enough of too many betrayals in her life. She simply closed her heart to everyone so that she can protect herself and not feel the same pain that she felt before, but sadly they were wrong with their interpretation, and Yuki saw through it right away and corrected it.
"I already know what all of you are thinking, so let me say this now, you're wrong. I'm not traumatized, nor wanted to protect myself because I simply don't trust anyone in this world. The real reason is simple, it's useless, I don't need friends, companions, or even family, because they'll only drag me down, I don't need anyone other than myself. After all, I can do everything myself. And if you are thinking that I'm only dodging it, it's still a no. Because in reality, I find it all useless since everything would end sooner or later, and I don't want to invest my time in doing something that would end." Yuki explained to all of them which gave each and one of them another set of shocks because that right there explained everything already, she just finds it useless because there is an end, but it also hinted something. It means that she accepted them because their bond will last till the end of time.
"Actually… I need to thank all of you. Because of you, I begin to change, change that even I wouldn't think would be possible. Love to me was unnecessary and only thought of it as a burden to become powerful, that's why I rejected Fumiko no matter how hard she tries but all of that changed when I met you guys. I begin to see Love differently because of our meeting." Yuki said with a light smile on her face that seemed too refreshing to look at.
"In this corrupt and disgusting world, the only thing that is really beautiful is Love… it can bring eternal happiness that will last long even if they're dead. But even if people know that Love is the most beautiful thing, they wish to stay away from it… simply because Love is also an Illusion for them. Love can bring pain, a pain that is more painful than all of the wounds they have received throughout your life." Yuki said as she gazed at the beautiful sky while thinking something for herself.
Because of Yuki's question to her, she questioned herself if she could really engage in something that burdens her for the rest of her life which is Love. And after thinking about it while waiting for all of them to arrive as well as when she was finally explaining to them her past life, she now understood everything. She can never let any one of them go, because she is already bonded with everyone here.
"Well… you have heard my story now. What will you think of me now? A heatless Monster who will anyone even if it's a God or Demon. That seems fitting~" Yuki casually asks as she looks straight at all of them and waited for an answer while still keeping her hand clenched which only made the bleeding on her hand worsen, even though she was keeping a calm and collected look, deep inside she was suffering. A part of her doesn't want to hear it, afraid that none of them would be able to accept who she truly is and the other part is her wanting to know what they think of her. But a whole 3 minutes has already passed and none of them has said anything yet.
"Hahaha… You don't need to be so tense, I already know the answer to my question. All of you can eat, I will just go to the Lucifer since this is also the place where they are staying." Yuki's hand which was already on the verge of tearing apart suddenly eased as she then stood up and vanished from where she was leaving all of them unable to say anything.
"No, wait!" Anna was a second too late because Yuki was already gone and she was devastated because she couldn't say what was in her heart, and it is the same with everyone especially since all of them accept her as she truly is. It doesn't matter what kind of past she has, all of them would still be her family that she can lean on.
"Why did she leave-" Serene wasn't able to continue her words when Yumie who was closest to Yuki before suddenly said something.
"Why do I smell Blood? Mother had said that no one would be able to reach us, the smell is so strong that I'm sure it's near us-" Yumie's face went pale when her eyes unconsciously went downwards and saw blood on the ground, and from that, she already knows whose blood it was.
"Find our Mother now!"
