New law of Beast Taming

"Yoko, what are you doing? Your parents are finally back and you decide to make a run for it in front of them? What were you thinking about while doing this?"

Sakura followed Yoko out of the room. She had a disappointed look on her face when she looked at Yoko since she had not expected something like this from the elder one.

This felt as if Yoko was running away from her parents and it clashed with the personality of Yoko she knew. Sakura was concerned about her cousin and her well-being, but she was also concerned about the rest of the family

"Sakura, if I never accept those people as my parents and remain in a passive-aggressive relationship all my life, would you follow me or them in the future? Which one would you choose?"

Yoko asked and Sakura was stumped. But not for long because it was not a question for her at all.

"Of course, I will choose you above anyone and anything else, Yoko. you are the one who dragged me out of my misery and gave me a new life. So, there is no need for you to be concerned about me ever betraying you for anything."

Sakura assured Yoko and that was when Yoko began to grin. Her smile was a little sad and a lot more sinister than Sakura expected.

That look almost made Sakura take a step back before she caught herself and straightened herself out. She could not show that she was scared or annoyed by Yoko.

"This is a good attitude to have, Sakura. You should hold on to your caution and make sure to always follow me. I will never betray you as long as you remain loyal to me."

Yoko assured Sakura and diverted her attention to the real topic they were talking about. Before Sakura could ask Yoko about the topic at hand, Yoko was already gone from her line of sight.

'Looks like it will be another disharmonious family. But Yoko should understand that her family is different from mine. Her father wants to do anything for her and loves her so she should try to understand them as well."

That was what Sakura believed in. But she was also not willing to go behind Yoko's back and play some tricks on her.

Besides, now that Yoko was showing her unhappiness and suspicion in the open, Sakura could also do the same. Something about this situation did not sit well with her.

"Hey you, I need you to do something for me. Keep an eye on Yoko's parents and report any small detail that happens to me. This is an order from my side. Do you understand?"

Sakura ordered the servant who bowed and went forward to carry out her order. Sakura looked around, half expecting her loyal maid Layla to come out and greet her. But that did not happen.

'Oh yeah, Layla is dead. She will never greet me like before.'

There was a pang of pain in Sakura's chest over losing someone loyal to her but she recovered the very next second. She still had Yoko to keep herself grounded.

....

The ceremony for Elios Tsurugi's and the other people's death was held the very next day. This time, even more people than before came.

No matter how much people were afraid of another attack happening, they still wanted to create ties with the Tsurugi family. Especially even more when Sakura inherited her mother's fortune.

So, for most people, this was not a funeral site, but a place they came here to ensure their future. They were currently waiting for Sakura to come out.

The first person who came out dressed in black was a well-dressed lady with sharp and hard features. The older generation gasped as soon as they took notice of her.

The angry lady heard this as well and she began to get annoyed at them all.

"Hey, what are you all looking at? Do you need me to pluck your eyes out of your head for you?"

The lady raged and most people looked away from her in shock and fright. Those who did not…continued to look at her unabashed and in shock.

The lady took out her sword and she was about to attack when an easy-going man stopped her by hugging her body.

"Sherina, no you cannot do that. No matter how annoyed you are, you cannot kill people for your benefit. This is not the right thing to do."

The people who recognized Sherina looked pale and ready to lose consciousness when they noticed this new figure. They all knew Albus Tsurugi's looks and how he behaved.

Looking at the scene in front of them, all these people had to admit that this couple was the one they remembered from their memory.

But as far as anyone knew, this couple had died a long time ago. There should be no way that they were supposed to be here.

"A-Am I hallucinating? How are Albus and Sherina here? The Tsurugi main couple died about 15 years ago."

"That's right. Rumor had that they could not stand their daughter any longer and they decided to leave her behind and go on an adventure. Once they were gone, they never came back."

All around the gathering, people talked and gossiped. They did not care about the ceremony or the dead any longer. For them, the interest of the living was much more important to them.

They all failed to notice when Sakura walked into the hallway with her father. They also did not notice how Yoko Tsurugi was merging into the crowd of the room and looking at them all with amused expressions.

These people only had eyes for the drama that was being caused by the emergence of the dead couple.

"*cough* You all have gathered here to honor and respect my dead mother and all the other employees who died during the accident in the Tsurugi house. Please keep your quiet while you are on my premises."

Amane finally had enough of watching things happen in front of her. She knew that these people would continue to endlessly if she did not do anything about it. So, she decided to do something about it anyway.

Everyone looked at Amane with a shocked expression. They were not sure if what they heard was right or wrong. Did Yoko Tsurugi seriously tell people to stop paying attention to her parents?

People noticed how Sherina Tsurugi bit her lip in frustration. She was someone who was blunt and used to attention. She thrived on it and that was why her character had become so twisted as well.

"Yoko, come down here and spend some bonding time with your mother and me. we will help you adjust to this atmosphere so do not worry."

Albus was much more easygoing and he seemed to want to be good to Yoko at least. People noticed how Sherina gave Albus an acidic look for suggesting such a baseless thing and even Yoko looked uninterested in doing so.

"No thank you. You both are rather strongly attached and look to be in love with each other. How can I come between you and your love for each other."

Yoko explained and the others around her felt awkward because of their words. They noticed how both of her parents flinched at Yoko's accusations but her mother looked far angrier than her father did.

"Yoko, you ungrateful…."

"Yoko, it has been so long since we last met. I have missed you so much that I wanted to tell you all about it. Hey, these people look familiar. Now, where have I seen them before?"

Charlie finally found an opportunity to stick with Yoko and she looked happy. Then she noticed the couple in front of her and Charlie looked a little annoyed but also intrigued.

"Greetings, divine leader. We are the Tsurugi couple and Yoko's parents. I have heard about how you have become friends with our Yoko. I would like to say that you already feel like family to me and my wife."

Albus grinned a happy smile when he looked at Charlie Suzuki. His beaming face looked real and people were already willing to believe that he was the real deal.

Everyone expected Charlie to be on guard and try to make a good first impression on her friend's parents.

But despite all the things Charlie Suzuki could do about this situation, she only grinned but did not pay any special attention to the couple in front of her.

"So, you are Yoko's parents? It is nice to meet you both. Now if you do not mind, I would like to take your daughter with me. We have a few things we need to discuss anyway."

Charlie placed a hand on Yoko's shoulder and she did not give anyone a chance to protest before she pulled Yoko away from everyone. People looked stunned to see such a scene but they could not stop the divine leader.

It was only after they were far enough that Charlie took the handoff on Yoko's shoulder and turned her around.

"So, your parents, huh? You must be happy to have them back safe and sound. But despite that, you do not look happy Yoko."

Charlie asked as she took in Yoko's face. She could not make out any traces of extra happiness and restlessness in Yoko's eyes.

Was Yoko even happy to see her parents back or not? That was what would determine how Charlie would treat the pair in the future as well.
