The Fox Goddess



Yuki didn't even realize that she was already holding Aika's hands and was already breaking apart inside just by thinking that she would be apart from her was simply too painful, but she needed to do it in order for them to have a better future and she had no choice anyway, she must do this. So she just has to strengthen herself to at least lessen the pain, she can just give Aika a phone or other device that would let her speak with her in real-time, it would be even better if she could see her face while at it. But in this kind of time in the Immortal Realm, it was hard, it was already hard to call someone far away, but their distance was Heaven's away.

"Mommy?" And just as she was thinking of ways to communicate with her, she was brought back to her thoughts by the cute sleepy voice of Aika who had now awoken because of Yuki squeezing her hand. She was confused by this as she tried to rub her big and round eyes with her other hand as she slowly sat on top of the bed and looked at Yuki before smiling warmly at her.

"I'm sorry Mommy, but it seems that I fell asleep in Mother's arms while we waited for you." Aika apologized with a smile on her face as she just couldn't hide the happiness that she was feeling. But the moment the reality struck her, she slowly became depressed and sad because Amane now only had about an hour to live

"Don't worry, I'm not mad. In fact, I'm happy because I can see that the two of you are getting along quite well. Also… you don't need to be sad anymore, because from this day onwards. You can sleep with Amane as much as you want. No, it is not just sleep that you can do with Amane, it's everything that you have ever wanted to do with her. You will finally be able to do it because I finally found the cure to bring her back to life." Yuki smiled back as she let go of her hand before hugging her tightly. Aika then found herself in Yuki's chest and it took her a few seconds to process what she just said to her, but when she finally understood all of it, she hugged her back before crying her heart out. The news of her being able to do everything she wants with Amane is like a dream for her, a dream that she wishes never to wake up again,

"Wahhh!!"

"What's going on? Why is my baby crying?" Amane who was suddenly awoken by the sudden cries immediately stood up as she looked at her surroundings, but she only found the Mother and daughter hugging each other on top of the bed. But before she could say anything, Yuki was already ahead of her.

"For a Saintess like you, you sure sleep like a log. You only woke up when Aika was already restless a few moments ago." Yuki couldn't help but chuckle as she watched in amazement at how Amane's face began to change in color. Her face has completely turned red as she dove back on the pillow, hiding herself from Yuki who was clearly teasing her.

"Oh come on, why are you hiding? You haven't even heard the great news that I came here to deliver. At least hear me out before you sleep again~" Yuki laughed even more as she patted Aika's back, she had now calmed down a lot as she had already collected her emotions. She was just now sobbing in Yuki's chest.

"Wait… Do you mean that-" Amane finally recovered herself after hearing what Yuki just said. It just took her a few seconds to realize what Yuki meant by her words, and she didn't even realize that she was already shedding tears of joy as she looked at Yuki with full emotions on her face. Happiness, Shock, Excitement, Unfeasiness, and many other things, those were just a few.

"Yeah, of course! Did you really think that I couldn't do it? Yuki only laughed in response after hearing Amane's response, she already knew what she was feeling right now. Just reading the look on her face already tells a lot, but she could see that Happiness is the emotion that is surging most in her face, after all. Who wouldn't be happy if they got the news that they would still live and have a chance to live with their only child?

"No… I- I was just simply too happy that I couldn't say anything more. Thank you, Yuki… Thank you for giving me this chance to be with Aika. I promise you that if you ever need my help in the future, you can count on me. I will definitely help you." Amane said while looking at Yuki with full gratitude in her eyes, She even promised her that she would help her in any way that she could so that she could repay her in the future if Yuki ever needed any help, she wouldn't even hesitate even if the help that she needed was the matters with the System. There was no need to think as she would quickly agree as soon as Yuki said the word.

"Heh, is that so? I'll gladly take your offer then. Once you recover, I will tell you what I want. I just hope that you can do it properly, or else~" Yuki only smiled in response and said all those words in a gentle way so that Aika wouldn't suspect anything, because behind that gentleness was a masked tone of killing intent that Yuki purposely let out for Amane to feel. Giving her Aika was the biggest gamble that she had taken in all her life because this was the first time that she could really predict what could happen, but there were just three ways that it could go in the future. Either Aika would grow up to be like what she wanted to be, or she would grow up to be the same where she would still be dependent on others to guide her in what she does. Maybe even a mix of the two, she would still be dependent on those she trusts but she can still make decisions all for herself, but it was a mystery because all of it would rely on how Amane would teach Aika for the future.

And since she doesn't know Amane that much, she still can't fully trust her. Though she is going to admit that she trusts so much when it comes to Aika, she believes that she wouldn't do anything to harm her, just from what she saw while they were out already telling her something. After all, actions speak louder than words.

"Don't worry, I promise you… No, it's not even a promise. I Amane Celeste vow to Heaven that I shall take care of Aika for the rest of my life, I promise that she will have the best life. The Heavens shall punish me to death if I don't do any of those." Amane Oaths which shocked Yuki, because even though it was just a simple Oath, the thing that she used was something she was very familiar with. It was the Oath of Annihilation, Amane just casually used it so that she could prove that she would protect and take care of Aika for the rest of her life. And after hearing that, she was finally eased as she finally put Aika down before saying something to her.

"Come on now, stop crying. Can you be a good girl for me and wait with your two Mothers, while I cure Amane back to full Health?" Yuki asked with a smile on her face and her smile only deepened when she saw Aika nodding her little head, and without wasting any more time she jumped out of the bed and ran off towards the door. But before she could open it, she stopped and went back to Amane to kiss her cheeks, she also kissed Yuki's before finally leaving in a dash.

"This girl…"
