You Will Only Be Mine-Chapter 334: Troubles

I stretched my hand to grab her, but Ai had already closed the distance between her and Natsumi-san. She stepped to the side and Iwaguchi-san grabbed her.

"Let go of me!" she shouted.

THWAK

Natsumi-san hit her on the back of her neck and Ai instantly fell unconscious. I rushed towards them and had Iwaguchi-san pass her to me. I quickly checked her face and pulse but luckily she was just knocked out. I looked at Natsumi-san and she scowled back at me.

"Was that necessary?" I asked.

"Lower your voice, just because there are some changes in your body doesn’t mean you have any right to talk to me in that tone," she replied and I clicked my tongue. "Plus, I found the most peaceful way to take care of this situation. Moreover, why is she so jumpy?"

"She has been through a lot, Dominic didn’t really just keep her locked in," I said and she let out a sigh. I felt a hand placed on my head and ruffling my hair. I looked to see her being more relaxed than she was seconds ago. I know I acted on my own volition without much.

Before I knew it, I was pulled into a hug and Iwaguchi-san gently grabbed Ai out of my arms giving the two of us some space. Now that I had her arms wrapped around me I could feel them being weaker than what I would expect. I wanted to look at what expressions she was making but I doubt she would let me see her like this.

"I am glad that you are safe," she said in a softer tone. "I can understand how you feel, having someone close to you been taken away just like that by a vampire but that also doesn’t mean you behave so hastily. You are lucky you could even be back in one piece."

"You understand?" I asked a stupid question.

"Of course I do," she entertained it anyway. "Every single hunter in the VEO can understand. How do you think someone even turns out to be a vampire hunter? And that is excluding the descendants."

Right, she has a point. Vampires are creatures about whom the general public don’t know anything about. So that leaves only one answer.

"Vampires killed someone close to them," I replied and she kept stroking my hair.

"Correct, I was the same, having my parents give up their life to save mine when we were attacked. I was around your age at that time," she explained. Wait, this was not something that I knew. I was told they died in a car crash. "Given how smart you try to show yourself, you really are dumb, aren’t you Kazuki?"

"I’m…sorry."

"No need to apologize for it, but that is just how it is," she explained. "But hey, that was how I met your father who introduced me to your mother so you can thank my parents’ sacrifice that you even know me."

"I guess you are right," I said closing my eyes. Maybe it was the nostalgic feeling or just tiredness but I started to keep a lot more relaxed. My arms wrapped around her and I clung to her like a kid. I do say Natsumi-san is like an older sister to me but she is no less than a mother figure too.

"It was important to hit you though. That really was the dumbest thing you could do," she said and I started feeling embarrassed. "Say Kazuki, how does someone become strong?"

How does someone become strong? That is a strange question to ask. I looked at her and she looked serious asking the question.

"By training?" I said but she shook her head.

"Think about it a little longer," she said. "Don’t forget, you are still just a kid. There are a lot of things you cannot do and that is okay. You don’t have to shoulder everything on yourself because you have people around you can rely on. Or did I turn out to be such an unreliable adult?"

"No, you didn’t," I immediately replied. "You are someone I have always relied on and you always made sure you would listen and help me through anything."

"Then what forced you to do everything on your own?" she asked but I couldn’t give her an answer. She let go of me and grabbed my shoulder. I was taller than her so I had to look down to meet her eye to eye but Natsumi-san right now looked as big as I thought she was when I was five years old. "You are a good kid, but still a kid so don’t be so harsh on yourself."

"Um…" we heard a voice and turned to see Iwaguchi-san looking a little worried holding Ai in a princess carry. "I know this is a very emotional and important moment, but Natsumi-san, we have to report to James or he will scold us again."

"Iwaguchi-san…you need to read the room more," I said and all three of us chuckled. Well luckily I have not been too harshly scolded by James before but I can understand him being harsher on those two. Maybe not so much on Natsumi-san though. She is pretty scary as is.

"Hey, you thought of something rude, didn’t you?" she asked sending chills down my spine. A woman’s instincts are scary.

Iwaguchi-san handed Ai to me and both of them left for James’s office. I looked down at Ai and though I felt a lot better thanks to Natsumi-san, one thing still bothered me. The way reacted to when Natsumi-san slapped me. I mean, it wasn’t something life-threatening and it wasn’t that hard either but above all she is my guardian and a strict one at that.

"Then why…" I said to Ai only to not get a reply back.

I pressed the button of the elevator and it arrived after some waiting. I stepped in the pressed the floor of the medical department. Ama is probably going to pounce at me first thing when she sees me. Will I be again a lab rat to her? Give me a break already. At least I can have Ai rest on a bed while I get checked up.

DING

I looked ahead to see that I reached the floor and from behind the door emerged a figure jumping at me. I stepped aside dodging her and she looked at me with a pout on her face.

"Kazu-chan, you meanie," she protested but I signaled at her to lower her voice. Seeing Ai in my arms she tilted her head confused why she was in this state.

"Let’s say Natsumi-san doesn’t like to be interrupted," I said and though not sure of the entire situation, Ama understood what I meant. She started to walk beside me as I left the elevator. "So, you seem to be full of energy as always. Where is the serious Ama I saw the other day?"

"Come on, that version of me isn’t attractive at all. Cheerfulness is something that suits me more," she said then grabbed my shoulder and started touching the muscle. She then moved her hand down my arm and then my back. "Oh my, looks like the little Kazu-chan has turned into such a man over a few days."

"If muscles are what makes you a man then I’m scared of what makes an old man for you," I replied.

"An old man is someone who is close to my age, not really my type," she said and I slowly turned to her a bit scared of her words. "Come on, I am just joking. I won’t commit a crime; I’ll still wait until you are eighteen."

"Is it really necessary??" I shouted stepping away from her which made Ama let out a hearty laugh.

We kept walking until we stood in front of a door, Ama scanned her card opened it and we entered. The room was filled with multiple plain white beds with sheets whiter than milk itself. I gently lay Ai down on one of them and continued to follow Ama.

We entered another room, the oh-so-familiar room with all the scary equipment. Wait, am I blind or do I see straps now on the chair? I looked at Ama who was cheerful as always. I entered the room to change closing the door before Ama got in and quickly had myself into a white hospital gown.

I entered the room and sat down in the chair. Honestly, it was quite a piece of machinery with just how many stuffs it can do. Thena gain, it was said it was the only machine like this in the world so makes sense why I have not seen this more. Honestly, if machines like this were given for public use, hospital bills would skyrocket way past the exosphere.

"So, Kazu-chan, I heard that you were hurt pretty bad during the last mission," Ama said entering the room looking more like a doctor now.

"Well, that is one way to put how I almost died," I joked it off.

"But seriously, arms and legs ripped off and they look completely unscathed. Every one of your muscle fibers looks like it was never touched before and they are harder than rock," she exclaimed. So that was what she was looking for. "Anyways, never know until I see it for myself."

"You know I would feel a lot safer if you would say this without that look on your face," I said, pointing at Ama’s big smile which she was clearly not even trying to hide.

"Strip."

Please someone save me from this woman.
