Chapter 271: Saiga and Shizuha 2
"Yes, husband," said Shizuha
Hearing those words Saiga couldn''t control himself anymore as he dashed towards Shizuha.
This time no one stopped him and even the ever stoic Shigure stepped aside to let the married couple have their time.
Saiga hugged Shizuha tightly as he reached her, Shizuha hugged back Saiga with equal strength showing how much she missed him.
"I am sorry! I am sorry! I am sorry! Shizuha" Saiga said as he choked from his emotions.
"Don''t be husband, It wasn''t your fault, we trusted the wrong person and that''s why we had to suffer for such a long time, our daughter had to remain parent-less for such a long time," Shizuha said.
"Trusted the wrong person! What do you mean by that Shizuha?" asked Saiga
"I have brought tea!" before Shizuha could reply to Saiga''s question Miu entered the room with a tray full of cups and a tea jug.
"M-Miu!" Saiga said.
Miu passed the tray to Kensei as she dashed towards her parents and hugged the two of them at once.
"I am so happy! I-I finally have both of my parents with me. Please please don''t leave me alone" said Miu as she broke into tears.
Saiga and Shizuha hugged their daughter back as their eyes were filled with tears as well.
"OK, I know it''s an emotional moment but why don''t we all sit down and talk. I am sure Saiga has some questions" stated Elder Hayato.
The family of three broke out pf their hug and sat side by side when Miu''s eyes went towards the broken wall on her left.
"Who broke down the wall?" asked Miu
"Sakaki, Apachai and Kensei came from that direction," replied Shigure not giving the three any chance to exin themselves.
"What? Just because we have money now you are not even leaving the wall intact." Miu scolded the three grown men seeing which Shizuha snickered while Saiga felt bad as they were just trying to protect Shizuha from him when he thought she was a fake with a mask of his wife.
"Oye, that''s not it!" Sakaki said
"Apa, Apa, Apachai helped" stated Apachai
"Your father thought that your mother was a fake! So heshed out and tried to attack her and since the three of us were on the other side of the wall we broke it down and surrounded your father to stop him," exined Kensei
"That true Miu, I thought that Shizuha had died 16 years ago and she was wearing a mask of her face hence I had decided to rip it off if not for them stopping me," Saiga said with shame.
"But I was in front of Shizuha!" said Shigure from the right with Tochumaru and Noir jumping up and down, "And Tochumaru and Noir were there as well."
"Ma ma... it''s alright we can build the wall back in no time let''s not get swayed from the main topic." said elder as everyone sat down.
With a cup full of tea in everyone''s hand Saiga said "I still can''t believe you are alive Shizuha, when I reached you, I couldn''t find your breath and thought I lost you then straight away ran towards the expected direction of your assassin"
"It''s fine, even I didn''t found any breath in her but when I picked up Miu from the snow only than did her heartbeat re-started. Even then I thought that she would die as my Ki and elementary medical knowledge wouldn''t have been enough for her to survive but she did all on her own fighting will for the next few days until I brought her and Miu back to the city where I know Akisame was staying at that time and thankfully he saved her and than Kensei came all the way from China to help Akisame. If not for them I don''t think Shizuha would have survived" Elder Hayato said sipping the tea from his cup.
Hearing the fully extended version of the story Saiga looked towards Kensei and Akisame and bowed his head, "Thank you for saving my wife, if not for you I would have lost her because of my own idiotess"
"There is no need to thank us Saiga, we were just doing our job" stated Akisame.
"That''s right a doctor has to make sure that his patients survive and that''s what we did, everything else was done by Shizuha on her own." sated Kensei as he sipped the tea and added, ''This tea is great by the way"
"Thank you!" said Miu thanking Kensei for thepliment.
"Shizuha! Who was the one that tried to kill you? Tell me his name or what he looks like?" asked Saiga, "I will bury him 8 feet into the ground."
The burst of killing intent from Saiga was almost suffocating for Miu while the masters were perfectly fine.
"Saiga control yourself" called elder Hayato
Knowing that his killing intent was hurting his daughter Saiga stopped himself immediately.
"It was Senzui, he was the one killing the members of the n that were on our side while wearing your mask and he did the same to me but while on the ground I tore the mask of his face," replied Shizuha
"But why?" whispered Saiga to himself, "Didn''t we fought the elders and conservatives of the Kuremisago to break those traditions, to break free themselves from having to kill their own loved ones just to be respected. And why try to kill Shizuha?"
"This is what Kenichi and his friend Niijima deduced after hearing about this Senzui from mother, ording to them Senzui is the type of person who thinks a small sacrifice is needed for the greater good," Miu stated
"That''s right, moreover the Kuremisago became one again with little casualties and currently he is the n leader so I would say everything went the way he wanted them to go" Sakaki stated, they had gathered the information about the Kuremisago n after learning about them from Shizuha and this is what they learned.
"That''s why my wife almost died?" growled Saiga, "That''s why Shizuha was almost murdered by someone who we believed to be our best friend?"
"Saiga! You are losing control of your emotions again"
