Playing With Other Supernaturals Chapter 243
Advertisement
It took some time for Kisuke to calm Irina down, and that night she slept peacefully forgetting about Xenovia's issue and Medusa's move after Kisuke's provocations and getting tired of reacting to his antics.
The next morning, Irina left after eating her breakfast, swearing that she would be coming back and Kisuke asking for souvenirs.
After staying a night in Kisuke's place, Irina calmed down a lot and is now capable of thinking clearly so she once again recalled Xenovia's conversion, 'No matter how weird her faith is, she shouldn't have easily discarded her beliefs... Someone or something forced her to accept Rias Gremory's offer and the only thing major that happened at that timeframe is that night where Kokabiel apparently died... What happened when I was unconscious? I'm also pretty sure that Xenovia is hiding something based on how she acted...' Irina went back to the Vatican with those in mind.
Just before lunch, Sakura and Yoruichi got home via taxi and Kisuke is already expecting the two of them, "Welcome back~."
Sakura went down of the car and happily greeted Kisuke, "We're back~!" Sakura missed his only son and hugged him tightly, "Did you miss me?"
"Of course. I missed my dear my mom and her cooking~." Kisuke chuckled and returned her hugged.
"Hooh~. Do you want me to cook lunch for you? Even though I just arrive, I'm not tired yet." Sakura separated from his son and pinched his cheek playfully.
"Such a wonderful proposition but I want to introduce someone to you. She's currently cooking for lunch and we're already expecting you." Kisuke just let her be. Although he feels like she's treating her like a small kid, he doesn't hate that at all.
Sakura eyed him with suspicion, "Hmm... You couldn't have both another daughter-in-law, did you?"
Kisuke thought of Medusa and ended up evading her gaze, "O-of course not. Aha-haha..." While sweating a bit, Kisuke thought, 'Does a maid counts?'

Sakura sighed loudly, "You really did it? Although I'm fine with you accepting others as long as Yoruichi allows it, at that time before you left, when I said that you could bring a daughter-in-law, I'm mostly joking you know. And you even asked her to cook lunch. Is this trying to get into my good side?"
"No way~. She has a husband after all." Kisuke blurted without much thinking. Due to that Sakura ended up misunderstanding his words.
The atmosphere around Sakura suddenly turned cold and Kisuke noticed it immediately. That's is when he realized his mistake of not explaining properly. But before he could further explain, Sakura grabbed his head with an iron grip and raised him in the air while glaring at him, "Oi, you sh*tty brat... What was that again? She has a husband? You touched someone with a significant other? Or is she divorced or her husband is resting in peace? Depending on your answer, I might have to crush your skull."
Yoruichi, who is currently unloading Sakura's luggage from the trunk of the car and watching the scene unfold, wanted to laugh, 'Go mom~! Make him bleed!' She cheered internally.
It's been a while since Kisuke last saw her mother became angry. Although all of those times were resolved with a proper explanation from Kisuke, it's still a bit scary for him, "Wait! Mom, you misunderstand!"
Sakura paused for a moment before saying, "...I'm listening."
'I would really appreciate it if you could put me down though.' Kisuke wanted to say but he knew he would only be wasting his breath unless he directly explains the whole situation, "I want to introduce you 4 people and the 3 of them are a family consisting of parents and a kid. The one currently cooking is the mother!"
Sakura slowly put him down and took a deep breath before expelling it. She then suddenly looked back to Kisuke with a big smile, "What? Is that so? You should have explained it earlier. Geez, don't make your mom worry too much about you."

Her cold atmosphere instantly melted like it was all a lie but Kisuke knew how serious she is, 'I was about to, but your iron claw beat me to it.' Kisuke wiped the cold sweat on his forehead and saw that Yoruichi is snickering at them, "You could have explained it to mom though."
"No way~. Such a juicy scene. Why would I interrupt it?" Yoruichi chuckled, "And mom, you could have poked a few holes in his body and he'll be fine a minute later."
"Although that is true... I don't want new holes in my body, especially holes big enough for blood to spurt out." Kisuke approached her and gave her a light peck on her lips, "But still, welcome back."
"Umu. I expect my reward later." Yoruichi happily hugged him.
"Ehem... You two can continue flirting later. I want to meet these people first, and I'm hungry." Sakura feigns a cough to wake them up from their own world.
The three of them hurriedly unload the rest of the luggage and thanked the driver. And the first one to enter the house is Yoruichi, followed by Sakura and Kisuke.
From inside the house, Claire knew that Yoruichi will be coming back but didn't know anything about Sakura. She has been waiting near the entrance peeking at the door from time to time. When she saw Yoruichi entered through the door, she immediately bolted towards her with a large grin on her face, "Yoruichi-neesama!" She then proceeds to hug her waist.
"Oh, you seem energetic, Claire. That's good." Yoruichi couldn't help but smile at the kid and patted her head. Claire is enjoying Yoruichi's pat when she suddenly noticed a stranger looking at her curiously.
"Hih!" Claire ended up getting startled and ran back towards the leaving room like a scared rabbit and hid behind her father's back.
"What a cute kid," Sakura commented. She curious about the family of three that Kisuke wanted to introduce to her but she's more interested in the fourth person because this person is most likely her 'daughter-in-law' if she didn't guess Kisuke's reaction earlier wrong.
The three of them reached the leaving room and three people were waiting for them, Masaomi, who is already standing up waiting for them, Claire who is timidly hiding behind him, peeking from time to time, and Medusa who kept fidgeting around nervously thinking of how to greet her 'mother-in-law'.
The first one to step forward is Masaomi, "Nice to meet you, Sakura-san. I'm Takuma Seo and this is my daughter Claire. I'm sorry for my daughter's attitude. She's always been scared of strangers."
Sakura bowed slightly, "Nice to meet you too, I'm Sakura Urahara. Your daughter is cute so it's fine." Sakura smiled and waved towards Claire.
It's Medusa's turn to introduce herself but she still hasn't thought of a good way. She wanted to tell Kisuke's mother that she has intentions to pursue her son but didn't know how to go with it.
While Medusa is hesitating, Cleria came out of the kitchen, "Oh, you're here. Nice to meet you, Sakura-san. I'm Kyoko Seo, I hope... we..." Cleria is happily introducing herself to Sakura but looking at her face for more than a few seconds, a certain person flashed in her mind. A person that disappeared long ago. Her precious little sister, "...Sa... Sarah?"

Runicka: Tournament of Monsters (A GameLit Card Game Fantasy)
The runes are changing, and with it, the game itself changes. Taygion Ardwella finds himself stranded, alone, and on the run from some very determined guards who claim Tay's stolen from them. They're right, but that shouldn't mean Tay has to give back what he took. He's only been in Stormwall for a week and already, he's earning the ire of the most powerful and notorious House that controls the city's underground. And when their scion challenges Tay to a duel of cards, Tay will find himself thrust into a game of sorcery and strategy as he attempts to both find a way out of this mess and find his own way in the world. To do both, he'll need to learn to accept guidance and coaching where it's sorely needed, craft a deck of unimaginable power, and not die whenever his opponents try and cheat him out of a hard-earn victory. But not all is as it seems in the shadows of Stormwall, and if Tay can figure out the importance of what it is he's stolen, he may just have a chance at saving the game of Runicka. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Runicka: Tournament of Monsters is a high fantasy, card game-based adventure novel with enough magic, worldbuilding, and characters to fill a Sanderson series. I would consider it a part of the GameLit subgenre. This series in particular is not an isekai, and will start and end in a high fantasy setting complete with its own lore and backstory. It is a progression fantasy, and I am writing it inspired by all the Yu-Gi-Oh mangas/animes, and all the hours I've invested/wasted (depending on who you ask) playing TCGs like Yu-Gi-Oh and Magic: The Gathering. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ This is a work in progress. In your journey through Stormwall alongside Tay, you'll probably find typos, grammatical errors, and maybe a confusing sentence every once in a while (although I hope to keep these to a minimum). That said, comments and suggestions on where I can improve are not only encouraged but greatly appreciated. And finally, expect new chapters every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday.~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~**Currently on a small hiatus. I have a bit of a workplace crisis going on. I'm still writing, but I don't have time to polish and publish. Chapters will return on a regular basis soon though!!**

The Paths of Magick
Credits: Story by Xcaliburnt. Cover Art by @Bervolart. Magick, the power to bend the laws of reality. All because of a mystical substance known as mana. Mages follow the Paths to achieve power, for there is no more addictive chase. Each Path winds and twists, forcing mages through the flames of adversity and challenge. Though the operative word is "path", the reality is far less straightforward. Instead of a road, Paths are like the branches of world trees, erupting into the heavens, intertwining, and ending in sharp snaps. Only the strongest reach the sky. There are several Paths, and many Ways to walk them—variations of the same Path, and like the stars, they are endless. Magick is the sacred flame that scours the fat, rendering the truest self. Superfluous flesh melting away to show the skeleton of one's being. A chance for ascension—apotheosis. Though not every mage works to godhood, if they survive long enough, It is inescapable. Witness the lives of those that tread the knife's edge of self-destruction. Each one intertwined in their search for answers, revenge, and, most of all: power. These individuals have all lost something precious—irreplaceable—and In search of filling the void left behind, they have taken up the mantle of a mage. Per aspera ad astra. Ad mortem vel divinitatis. (Through adversity to the stars. To death or divinity.) There is no consistent release schedule except my consistent inconsistency. Besides, there’s like a thousand pages worth of content, how can—you already read it? Goddamn. Oh, and there is a very long hiatus between volumes as I intend to edit and rewrite a lot. What to Expect: This story is progression fantasy, so expect a healthy dose of training. It's also heavy on slice of life, and it isn't entirely overarching-plot-driven. Expect characters to live their lives, and not always be on some quest to save the world. There's a lot of magic theory and discussion about it in the story. So, if you don't like impromptu lessons on sorcerous theory by traveling monster slayers, this might not be for you. But if you do like it, rejoice! For there is a lot of it. This is also heavy on prose, purple as a bruised eye. I use outdated, uneccesarily collegiate-level terms and play around with the writing style just for the heck of it. I find it fun to wax and wane poetic, and that might grate on you—I don’t plan to change this aspect of the Paths much if at all. Onto the viewer discretion is advised parts: This is grim-dark/ grim-heart. Take the tags seriously. There will be combat scenes that are brutal and horrifying. Fights to the death tend to be. This is a tale about medieval mercenaries (quite literal killers for hire), man-eating monsters, and eldritch gods beyond the material plane. Beside that, there will be traumatic events that are best left unread. I do not detail certain acts I find heinous enough, instead leaving some parts unwritten but still alludded to if not outright stated; there is simply no graphic narration thereof. This is not for the faint of heart.
