My Little Cutie

Chapter 46

"Holy shit! What happened!?" Yuzu exclaimed
"Damn...probably a fight" Matsuri said
"Where's Shai?" Himeko asked. Yuzu got out of the car and noticed Shai getting inside a truck with her father
"Hey! They're taking Shai away!" Yuzu exclaimed and started running pass the crowd of people. The other ran pass the people and Yuzu watched the truck drive away
"Shai!" Yuzu shouted but the men blocked her
"Hey! Get the fuck out you bastards!" Yuzu shouted
"Calm down Yuzu" The old lady said. Yuzu turned around and growled
"You bitch! What the hell did you do to Shai!?" Yuzu exclaimed
"I am going to save her" The old lady said
"Save her?" Yuzu asked
"By getting rid of her father and getting rid of that stupid personality of hers. She will finally become a great Higashi" The old lady said
"What the actual fuck!? You can't do that!" Yuzu said
"I can't? Hehehe what a caring cousin but she needs to change" The old lady said
"You shouldn't change her! She is perfect the way she is!" Yuzu said
"Oh so letting her go crazy and harm people is okay?" The old lady asked
"She was only protecting me!" Himeko shouted interrupting them. The old woman turned to look at the young Momokino and glared at her
"And I will definitely make sure she never remembers you" The old lady said
"Wh-what?" Himeko asked
"Hey! What the hell do you mean by that!?" Yuzu exclaimed
"I will erase her memories and turn her into a new person" The old lady said and a car pulled up
"H-hey! Why on earth do you want to change her!?" Yuzu exclaimed as she tried getting close to her but the man stopped her
"Leave her alone" The man said sternly
"F-father...whybare you doing this?! Why help out that old hag?!" Himeko exclaimed
"Himeko. I told you to stay away from that Higashi. See what she's caused. Now I have to deal with that psychopathic asshole" Damon said
"But erasing Shai's memories isn't the solution! There has to be another way!" Yuzu said
"Listen here Aihara...look around. You see what crazy bastards like them cause? It's even more dangerous when they are superhuman. People with powers shouldn't be living in this world. It is only a danger to humanity..." Damon said. Yuzu clenched her fists tightly and gritted her teeth
Flashback
"Papa! Look! I made fire!" Yuzu said as she smiled brightly and little flames came from her palm. Yongi chuckled softly and carried Yuzu
"Hey honey! Look at our little girl!" Yongi said. Ume walked up to them and smiled brightly
"Awww my little girl is growing up" Ume said
"I'm like papa now!" Yuzu said
"You sure are and when you're fully grown your powers will get stronger. You'll be as strong as your father" Yongi said
"Yay!" Yuzu said
"And remember to use your powers for good and protect people" Yongi said
"Protect?" Yuzu asked
"Of course. People like us who were born with super powers are meant to use it for good. Not bad. We shouldn't harm the people in this world" Yongi said
"So I was chosen to be a hero and protect people?" Yuzu asked
"Hehe kinda" Yongi said and put Yuzu down. Yuzu looked at her hands and nodded
"Mhm! I'll use my powers for good only!" Yuzu said as she smiled and ran around the living room
"I have powers!" Yuzu shouted and smiled brightly
"Hehe she sure is excited" Ume giggled
"Yuzu will become a great person when she grows up" Yongi said as he smiled
End Of Flashback
"Yuzu you okay?" Matsuri asked
"No I am not okay. Hey bastard where the hell are you taking Shai and her father?" Yuzu asked
"That's none of your business" Damon said and walked away heading to the car
"Hey asshole! Where do you think you're going?!" Yuzu exclaimed. Damon only ignored her and got in the car then drove away
"Hey where's Shai?" Harumin asked
"They took her away. We have to ask Lady Liana for help" Yuzu said and started running away
"Wait for us Yuzu!" Matsuri said and followed Yuzu. The rest of the group started running to go with Lady Liana. Himeko froze for a moment as she thought about something
Flashback
"Hey Shai...can I ask you something?" Himeko asked
"Hm? What is it?" Shai asked
"Well...I talked to my mother and she started talking about your father" Himeko said
"Huh? My father?" Shai asked
"Yes..." Himeko said. Shai looked down and thought for a moment
"Hey Himeko...uh...this might be odd but uh...well my father had something with your mother" Shai said
"Huh? S-so you're saying they used to date?" Himeko asked
"I-I have no clue. My grandmother told me that my father had a secret affair with that woman. Suddenly Lady Liana told me a few more things about my father..." Shai said
"And...do you believe in what your grandmother said?" Himeko asked
"N-not so sure. I mean...I could ask your mother about it but uh...hehe maybe some other time" Shai said
End Of Flashback
My mother...she must know something!
Himeko ran away and headed back to her home leaving the others behind. She arrived at her place and breathed heavily trying to catch her breath. She walked up to the front door and stopped seeing a package
Huh? A package?
Himeko grabbed the package and looked at it
It doesn't say who is it from or for who?
Himeko walked inside the house and looked around
"Mom? Mom you in here?" Himeko asked but no answer. Himeko didn't like one bit of it and put the package down. She opened it and saw a small present inside
What? A gift inside?
Himeko grabbed it and pulled it out of the box then read the small note on it
For: My Beloved Cutie
From: Your Sweetheart
"Uh-huh? Is this...from Shai?" Himeko asked and looked at the gift. She looked around and looked back at the gift. She opened it seeing a rose
"A r-rose? H-how did-" The rose suddenly released a gas and Himeko let go of it. She coughed and trembled a bit
"Wh-what the hell? Wh-what was that?" Himeko asked and gasped. She felt a sting inside her body and trembled
"Wh-ugh! Agh!" Himeko groaned and grabbed her head. She started moving around and bumped into a few things feeling a painful headache
"Agh! My head! Aaaaaaaaah!" Himeko shouted and started banging her head against the wall. She clenched her chest tightly and breathed heavily. Suddenly her body went numb and she collapsed to the floor passing out

"We're here!" Yuzu said and opened the door entering inside
"You're all here. Wait...where's Himeko?" Lady Liana asked worriedly
"Huh? Momokino-san?" Yuzu asked
"She was here" Matsuri said
"Where did she ran off to?" Mei asked
"Why are you worried?" Yuzu asked
"I've already figured out what Shailung has been planning all along and Shai was working with him!" Lady Liana said and started grabbing a few things
"H-huh? What are you talking about?" Yuzu asked
"We have to get to Himeko fast!" Lady Liana said
"Wh-what?" Yuzu asked
"Hey! Wait!" Matsuri said. Lady Liana ended up leaving the girls behind not explaining what the hell was going on
"Damnit! We have to head back!" Yuzu growled
"Hurry!" Matsuri said
"We are not running again" Harumin said
"Of course we're not" Matsuri said and walked out of the place
"Get in quick!" Matsuri said as she got inside the car. Everyone got inside and Nitski stepped on the gas pedal as they drove away heading to the mansion. Meanwhile Lady Liana arrived and gasped once she stepped inside. She clenched her fists tightly and gritted her teeth
I-I'm too late...damnit...
Lady Liana looked over at the box and looked at Himeko
"No...I can't give up. I must try and get rid of that thing" Lady Liana said and carried Himeko. She placed her on the couch then held out the potions. She immediately started mixing them and threw the small dust above her body
I must make this quick! There is a chance for me to stop it from consuming her brain!
Lady Liana placed her hand above her body and her eyes glowed. The dust on Himeko's body glowed and Lady Liana tried to get rid of the power inside her
Come on! This has to work! Please!
Suddenly the door burst open and Yuzu came in with the gang
"Momokino-san!?" Yuzu exclaimed
"Himeko?! What happened to her?!" Mei exclaimed
"Please girls! You must stay back and let me foc-" Lady Liana gasped and trembled
Oh no...
"No no no no!" Lady Liana said and trembled
"Wh-what happened?!" Mei exclaimed
"I'm...too late" Lady Liana said
"Wh-what? What do you mean too late?! What happened?!" Mei exclaimed
"M-mei calm down" Yuzu said as she held her hand. Lady Liana looked around and saw the rose on the floor. She walked over to it and sighed deeply
He must've used this on her...
"Please explain what's going on..." Yuzu said
"Shailung planned to change Himeko" Lady Liana said
"Huh? What do you mean?" Matsuri asked
"Did he...try killing her?" Mei asked as she sat beside Himeko
"No. Not harm her but change her. I now understand what Shai meant if it was possible to save Himeko..." Lady Liana said
"So...she won't d-die right?" Mei asked
"Of course not. But...who knows what the gas contained inside. I'm afraid Himeko won't be the same..." Lady Liana said
"Huh? She won't be the same?" Matsuri asked
"The gas that she inhaled contained a few things...some ingredients that can turn someone...crazy" Lady Liana said
"Wh-what? You can turn someone crazy?" Harumin asked
"How can you do that?" Matsuri asked
"I am not sure how Shailung did it but I know that Shai also helped him out..." Lady Liana said
"Will Himeko wake up?" Mei asked
"I am not so sure about that. I just hope...she doesn't go loose and kill people" Lady Liana said looking at Himeko
This is not going to end well...
"Anyways! Lady Liana! Shai got taken away by her stupid grandmother! She's going to erase her mind! She plans on changing Shai!" Yuzu said
"The laboratory" Lady Liana said
"She's there?" Yuzu asked
"Yes. That's where they experiment people and sometimes...kill" Lady Liana said
"K-kill?" Yuzu asked
"Then we have to get there and save her!" Matsuri said
"She's right! We have to get her!" Yuzu said
"Very well. Take these" Lady Liana said handing Yuzu a small orb
"H-huh? What's this?" Yuzu asked
"It'll take you to that place but you have to be careful" Lady Liana said
"Wait I'm going alone?" Yuzu asked
"There wasn't enough to make. Besides...I need the rest of you to stay. Yuzu you can go and get Shai" Lady Liana said
"Wait what will you be doing?" Matsuri asked
"I have to head out and find someone. I believe someone else was in this plan..." Lady Liana said
"Who?" Yuzu asked
"Someone who is able to release a scent..." Lady Liana said
"Wait...a-are you talking about my mother?" Matsuri asked
"Yes...she must be in this too" Lady Liana said as she headed out. Yuzu looked at the orb and trembled
Guess I'll have to fight...
"Yuzu...please be careful" Mei said as she hugged her
"Don't worry Mei. I will be okay. You girls just stay here with Momokino-san. Hopefully she'll wake up soon..." Yuzu said and sighed
"Good luck Yuzucchi" Harumin said
"Go and save her Yuzu-chan" Matsuri said. Yuzu nodded and gulped the orb. Her body glowed and she ended up teleporting to the laboratory. She gasped and hid some place so they wouldn't find her
Where is the truck?! Damnit! Is it inside already?!
Yuzu looked around and spotted the truck
Don't worry Shai! I'm coming!
