Chapter 75 - Relearning to live

 
The ability to see gave Yomi a gigantic universe of new possibilities. His delight and curiosity were indescribable, everything seemed new, and he used his restored vision as a child playing with a new and desired toy.
The arrival in Yomitan did not take long. Yomi went straight to his room, and was stunned when he was finally able to see the environment where he had spent so many years; 

-But… how luxurious… how different! 
-Hahaha, get ready for an avalanche of new things, Yomi.

Kurama returns to human form. Hoshiyomi, Tsukiyomi, Shiori and Byakuya enter Yomi's room. They were going to prepare a surprise reception, but they arrived late. Yomi's reaction was happy again; 

-My….my friends!!! 

In addition to compliments on his eye colour, Yomi receives a hug from everyone:

-What a beautiful eye colour, Yomi!- Shiori smiles.
-They are so beautiful… a golden tone..- Tsukiyomi looks at Yomi more closely.
-How wonderful, Yomi!- Hoshiyomi celebrates.
-Your eyes are almost a copy of Youko's, they look like two golden jewels!- Byakuya observes.
-I still have a lot to discover… and I'll count on you to relearn how to live.- Yomi smiles.

Yomi moves away from everyone, and goes towards the window, looking at the city below; 

-Yomitan… Gandara would never reach that level of development… impressive… 

Shuichi arrives next to Yomi, looking out the window too; 

-None of this could have been possible if you haven't given everyone the necessary freedom, and made the right decisions... this is merely the result of you making the right decisions. Yomi, the impact was immense.

-I haven't done it alone, Kurama… What would have happened if not for your support?
-And what have I become without your support, protection and care?- Shuichi hugs Yomi.
-I just did my part…
-I want to stay close… regardless if I'm Youko or Shuichi. 

Botan approaches them; 

-What do you think about celebrating this with a party?
-No need, Botan… the possibility of looking at you will be an eternal celebration for me…-Yomi smiles. 
-Alright. I wonder how happy you are. 
-Hahaha there is no other possible reaction now! 

At Yomi's desk, the phone starts ringing; 

-Yomi, I think it's for you… hahaha, use your vision now!- Shuichi jokes. 
-Of course!

Yomi goes and answers the phone without any assistance; 

-Hello? Yomi speaking. 
-Yuxi. Yomi, you are doomed!
-Aaaahhh Yuxi, have a good day, I'll need to sleep again.
-Hey, don't ignore me...- Yomi hangs up the phone.
-Who was it, Yomi?- Shuichi approaches.
-Yuxi, saying I'm doomed... little does he know that today I have a new ability.
-He always calls to talk nonsense!
-Yes, but let me answer those calls.
-It's okay, Yomi.
-Well then, shall we go for a walk? After so long, I would like you to take a closer look at Yomitan.
-Yes… Kuronue, do you want to go with us?- Yomi looks at him.
-To walk? Yes, hahaha!- Kuronue goes to Yomi.
-And us?-Botan smiles.
-Everyone is invited- Yomi smiles and closes his eyes.
-Oh yeah!-Botan smiles- This time I'll stick around.
-Go. 

Yomi goes towards the elevator, accompanied by Kurama, Shura and Kuronue; 

-So, Kuronue, what are you doing today for a living? 
-Well, I provide some services, nothing too difficult or that requires commitment. 
-The job market in your province is tightly regulated, isn't it? 
-Oh, a lot! If I could I would go into the government building and kill everyone, hahaha! They do everything to get in the way. 
-Well, Yomitan will always be open to new residents. Byakuya will move here in a few days, he just needs to sell his country house, and he will start his own business in my city. If you want to do something like that, talk to me or Kurama, and we'll give you our full support, as we do with everyone in Yomitan who wants to grow.
-I am flattered by your offer, Yomi.-Kuronue hugs him.
-Hahaha, it's the least I do for people who come to me for help.
-Don't be silly, Kuronue, just three or four days ago you wanted to kill Yomi!- Shuichi pushes him away from his friend.
-Ah Shuichi, that habit of wanting to have everything!
-Hahaha please, let's not get into a fight over that, hahaha, not even Shura does that!- Yomi pushes both away from him.

-Hey Daddy, I want to ride on your shoulders later!- Shura pulls on Yomi's Kimono.
-Yes, my son, I'll do that for you.- Yomi strokes Shura's head. 

The elevator door opens, and they step out, hitting the street quickly. At the entrance of the building, Yomi stops walking and looks at the tall buildings around him; 

-What a beautiful scene…
-Your decisions shaped this place, Yomi… that's not all… you haven't seen anything yet.- Kurama smiles and takes Kuronue's hand.
- Why don't we fly a little, Yomi? 
-To fly? Hahaha, that's a great idea, Kurama. 
-Kuronue, hug me, as far as I know, you can't fly.- Youko looks at Kuronue and smiles. 
-Right. 

Kuronue hugs Youko tightly around the waist, and so, they take off, followed by Yomi right behind;

-Are you okay, Kuronue?- Youko looks at him.
-Apart from that tail between my legs, fine.
-Hey, don't say nonsense about my tail! And take good care of it. - Kuronue smiles;
-But of course, I'll take care! After all, later, I want to talk to you again.
-Kuronue… restrain yourself, ok? Respect Yomi.
-Ah, yes, sorry… how about tomorrow?
-Perfect!
-Yomi, Yomitan seems a little bigger to you, doesn't it? Hahaha!-Youko laughs.
-It's giant… maybe bigger than Gandara!
-Yes, Gandara was much smaller. Let's go for a walk!- Youko heads north towards the city.
-Right!- Yomi follows him closely. 

The ability to see and have powerful hearing means that Yomi can estimate distances very accurately;

-Yomitan has an apparent size of almost 20 kilometres, I'm impressed!- Yomi stops flying.
-Yomi, when we arrived, this city was much smaller. Look what you did, hahaha!

Youko goes to Yomi, and holds his face with both hands, looking at him.

-Accompany me to a place that I consider particularly special.
-Okay, Youko. 

Kurama was going with Kuronue to the bank of the Yangtze river, at the same point where, for the first time, he had been embraced by Botan; 

-This landscaping is nice, Kurama...-Yomi looks around. 
-Yes, because you asked for it, hahaha! But the fact that this place is special isn't really because of that… 
-Is it because there are nice views from here?- Yomi looks at Youko serenely. 

Youko opens his arms and hugs Yomi slowly; 

-It was in this exact spot that I received the first affectionate hug from someone… and it was Botan.

Youko then moves away from Yomi;

-That has a lot of meaning for you then…
-Yes, it does, Yomi… and that's why I repeated the gesture with you. 

Yomi blushes; 

-Hey, Youko, shall we stay here? And do you live with Yomi, by any chance?-Kuronue smiles. 
-I'm living with him temporarily while my house is not ready. 
-What happened to it? 
-It was destroyed by an explosion. 
-My goodness, but how did that happen?!- Kuronue is amazed. 
-One day we will tell you in detail what happened, Yomi has an enemy in this city who is always trying to scratch his image. 
-Oh, all right.
-Well, shall we go home? Hahaha, Yomi, we still have a lot to do, don't we? I imagine I'm not as necessary to you, but I want to work on other things.
-Of course, Youko, you can continue with your usual work, but now you can give me a little sample of what you normally do.
-It will be a pleasure, hahaha!
-Well, my friends, let's go back then. I'm impressed with what I've seen of Yomitan so far, I definitely have space here to be happy with all of you.- Yomi observes the city.
-Maybe all of them, Yomi. Kagura and I are also very happy about what happened here, I swear that before arriving, I remained sceptical, but I must admit that you were impeccable.
-That makes me happy, Kuronue, why don't you come and live right here? That way we can strengthen our friendship and contact...- Yomi smiles.
-Yes, that's a good idea, hahaha!

-Okay, let's go back then. Yomi, go ahead this time. Kuronue, repeat the same procedure you did to come.- Youko turns to Kuronue and looks at Yomi.
-Yes of course!

Kuronue hugs Youko tightly from behind, who accompanies Yomi on the short flight to the city hall building. When they get there, Yomi goes to his room with them.
