Rumi never really thought about her DNA she just assumed she was half her mother and half the demon who was her father. She was never too enthusiastic about it until she realized she could see if her fathers side had any relatives. Although he could have been well over 400 years old like Jinu. She decided to privately get one done.
Now the time had come. The folder infront of her. She couldnt bear to open it.
She waited there on their penthouse couch staring at it.
The girls had been out. Zoey had a collaboration with a game company where she was getting to voice a character. Mira had a modeling contract that had its final photoshoot today.
Rumi was enjoying her day until a courier had delivered the results.
She waited. Not out of fear. But she was worried about the results. What if she had no possible living family. Just her and her mom. Her fathers family line vanished when her became a demon.
It was about 6:30 when Zoey strolled through the penthouse elevators.
"Rums I'm back. Its definitely been a day. What should we have for dinner? We havent had an army stew recently. Mira could definitely use the carbs after you know she makes it a thingbto not eat when other models are present. They make her unpleasant when they stare..." Zoey shot off before looking over at Rumi.
"Zo...Yeah that sounds good for dinner. But my results are here. I wanna wait for Mira." Rumi said, just as the elevator opens to the tallest of the 3 girls.
"Girls I'm back. Im starved. Lets order out and chill on the couch." Mira paused as she looked over at Rumi.
"Mira the results are here. I need you too open it." Rumi said calmly.
"Ok, I will are you ready?" Mira casually crossed the room. To the Manila envelope sitting on the coffee table infront of Rumi.
"Zoey shit with us and give me a drumroll please." Mira said.
Zoey's drumroll began.
Sounds of shuffling paper began and Mira's eyes began to scan the paper. Before a choked sound poured out of her mouth.
"Mira what's wrong. Why did you make that sound? Am I the last of my bloodline? Am I alone?" Rumi sounded sad.
Mira stood and looked down at Rumi's face. Her voice sounded.
" Zoey come here real quick. Good news Rumi. Your not alone. You do actually have a living family member." Mira looked rather pointed. Zoey stood and scrambled over to Mira.
She looked down at the paper. Blinked once. Looked over at Rumi. Blinked twice and back down at the paper.
"I can see it. Mira. I CAN SEE IT." Zoey started to laugh.
"I know. I can too. But like do we tell them both?",Mira cleared her voice, before continuing"Rumi I know we arent speaking to Celine but I think she should be here."
"Uh well I can call and ask if she would be willing to come asap." Rumi blinked.
"That would be best." Mira spoke.
Rumi picked up her phone, dialed Celine, She answered on the 3rd ring.
"Rumi love what's wrong I know your not talking to me but I'm here for you." Celine was instant.
"Celine are you willing to be teleported here I have something I need to share with you." Rumi asked.
"Yeah, Im willing. I love you, Rumi." Celine said.
In a flash Rumi was gone and in one more two women stood behind the couch.
"Mira, Zoey, its a pleasure to see you." Celine said.
"I think you guys should sit down."
Zoey started.
"In the case of 25 year old, Rumi Ryu, Celine you are the father or rather the mother." Zoey did her best impression of those shows she once watched while she was especially too young to be watching.
"Well what Zoey means to say is that the one half of your DNA markers show your Eomma Rums. The other half Rums is well Celine's. You're half Celine Rumi." Mira clarified.
The two women had the most shocked face. It held until they heard a camera flash. After they heard a laugh pour from the Maknae's chest.
"You guys look tlike the suprised Pikachu meme."Zoey's laugh echoed before she slowly began to wheeze.
There was a deep breath.
"Rumi, I love you still even if you want nothing to do with me. And I'm abit confused as to why you decided to do a DNA test." Celine asked.
"Well I wanted to know if I had any living family. And had it done privately." Rumi responded."Well Mira and Zoey knew."
"Why? Look for living family." Celine asked.
"Well my father was of unknown age. Jinu told me he was well over 400 years old. I wanted to know if i was the last of my bloodline from my fathers side was know my moms parents are gone already and she was an only child. I was apparently wrong about that." Rumi laughed.
Celine blinked.
"Well now you know and I know. We gotta figure out how." Celine stated.
"We could trap a saja demon and make them spill. They do have a higher chance of coming through the honmoon." Mira said as a matter a factly.
"Oh you're right. Saw like 4 last week. They stepped through the gap saw me and stepped right back thought. It was a whole thing I had my Shin-kal ready too." Zoey laughed.
"Ok let's make a plan."
One Week Later
A lone Saja stepped through the gap in the dreaded Honmoon. Checking his surroundings. He seemed to be in the clear. He began his prowl for souls. Until he was caught unaware and full thrown to the ground by what seemed to be a very high ranking demon and what seemed to be the hunters.
Out of fear the Saja passed out.
"Good your awake." The voice resonates with heavy vibrato.
"I don't know what you want with me but let me go and ill go back to the demon realm and never return." The Saja cried.
"Dont worry about that demon we have questions." Mira said
"Yeah, we need answers demon." Zoey chuckled holding her Shin-kal with a smile.
"Anything you want hunters and young demon lord. This humble Saja with answer their best." They blinked away tears.
"First can demons reproduce with human?" Rumi's voice cane through shaking.
"Yes and No my young lord." The Saja answered.
"Explain." Mira barked.
"Demons are by essence spectres vessals to ransport souls. Higher ones have more physical forms. And may carry a form of what you humans call Dna although incomplete. Higher demons can well read a partners closest romantic interest and well they use that Dna to make up the lost parts. Almost like a fill in the blank. Which is about 90% of the Dna." The Saja poured out as if they had been a scholar in their past life.
"What do you mean by 'higher demons'?" Zoey asked.
"A higher demon is well a demon with independent nature from a demon king. They don't follow a monarch nor do they feed on souls. They have reconciled with their pass sins and have earned a chance at rebirth but use thier extended life to help those who do wrong in life make better choices. More along the lines of what a guardian angel is I guess they also bring soul to the wheel of reincarnation safely." The demon poured once again.
"So Rumi is considering a higher demon. Because her reconciliation with her past sins. And she is technically Celine's bio daughter because her mom was romantically interested in Celine and her dad used that as the go ahead to use that as Dna filler." Mira recapped.
"Yes and no. Its an unintentional part in higher demons they can sense the romantic intent but the body may or may not activate the filler. Demons do have well i guess its a estrus cycle. That occurs once every 100 years. For lower demons. And 25 years for higher-ups. So that would mean the demon parent had to have been in estrus for it to activate." The Saja rambled.
"So Rumi could go into heat?" Zoey asked giggling.
"Its unlikely as she has two mates and she appears to be satisfied frequently." The saja stated. Celine blinked once, twice, three times.
"Are you two fucking my daughter!?" Celine was bewildered.
"We uh are dating her." Zoey said shyly.
"Yeah we're dating." Mira was nonchalant but Zoey could see the goosebumps raise on her skin.
"Celine let's not get too ahead of ourselfs. We can talk about this calmly." Rumi said as calmly as she could. Then she saw it. Celine's once empty hands held her sickles a pale yellow from lack of use.
"You two degenerates have been fucking my daughter for how long. I can't believe I left her alone with you perverts for so long." Celine shouted as she leapt forward towards the now armed younger women.
"CELINE!" Rumi shouted. But the chase was already on.
Zoey was quick to scramble away but Mira was trying her best to stand her ground. Zoey began her assault at a distance. Celine easily blocked it.
"My daughter fell into your arms. When I wasn't around and i learn from a damn demon. At least have the courage to say it to my fucking face." Celine roared.
"We don't have to tell you anything you mean heartless old woman. Rumi wasn't talking to you and by extention neither are we Bobby knew though." Mira got out through her physical struggle.
"Yeah what Mira said." Zoey cheered as few more Shin-kal were thrown down from the shadows that landed semi on their mark of Celines hands.
"Ugh," Rumi growled." I learn I've got a living parents and she losses her shit when she learns I've got two girlfriends. This is so homophobic."
"Its not homophobic, Rumi, dear. Its dread. I never gave you sex ed and these two degenerates took it upon themselves to corrupt you innocence. And sweetheart, you can't be homophobic if your gay." Celine huffed out.
"Oh. Ah ha ha ha." Rumi began to laugh.
"Shit thats why you are fighting them," he laugh getting wilder.
"Celine! I came on to them." Rumi's laughter was going into an entire fit now.
"That right Rumi came on to us. Mira and I were content at never acting on our feelings. We were gonna die pining useless well one lesbian and one pansexual." Zoey's voice was louder. Closer.
Celine turned eye still on Mira.
"Yeah. Rumi is the reason we are dating. I was gonna be a cassanova until that girl did some well unspeakable things to Zoey and I that night. Like 6 months ago." Mira said.
Celine's strength fueled by rage slowly began to fade. The weapon push back began to lose its weight.
"Oh well my apologies." Celines weapons fades back to the Honmoon.
"Rumi." Celine called towards the oldest girl.
"Yes, Celine." Her laughter was calming down.
"Come here, please." Celine said with a huff.
Rumi appoached unaware of the fist that was going to come down upon her head.
"Thats for being a degenerate I thought the other two were." Celine paused. Before pulling her into a hug.
"This is for having the courage that neither I nor your mother had when it came to feelings. You are so brave to confess what could ruin so many things if it failed. But can make every day going forward brighter if you succeed. Two girlfriends huh. You must be quite the struggle to take care of." Celine laughed with Rumi still in her arms.
"Lets get some food. Its on me tonight. We have some catching up to do and well I've been a terrible mother even if it was unknowingly. I'd like to do better." Celine said arm around Rumi's shoulder. They walked out the storage room. Leaving a demon strapped to a chair fear in their eyes. Turning out the lights. Footsteps fading away.
"Hello? Is it a good time to mention that the young lord can get their mates pregnant at any time? Hello? " the Saja resigned to a time spent in the dark. Hopefully no drunken mistake may be fall the young lord.
