Saturday, I woke up in my bed, Kuma’s arm around my waist. I growled. “Kuma, I said keep your paws to yourself!” I shouted, moving his arm.

He groaned and rolled over. “Five more minutes,” he muttered into the pillow.

“Idiot.” I sighed and got up. I picked up the dirty clothes on the floor, both mine and Kuma’s, and threw them into the hamper. I took a pair of jeans and a black T-shirt from my drawers and set them on my bed. I stripped off my nightclothes, boxers and a white T-shirt, and put on my robe quickly before Kuma woke up.

“Aw, no fair,” Kuma said, looking up at me.

I growled and hit him with my pillow. “Perv!” I left my room and went to the bathroom to start my shower.



I sat on the couch, messing around on my laptop, when Kuma sat down next to me, his hair still wet from his shower. “What’cha doing?” He asked, leaning against me to see the screen.

“None of your business,” I growled. “And I’m still mad at you.”

“Aw, c’mon, I apologized!”

“Not good enough.”

He sighed and leaned back against the couch. “What do I have to do to make up for it, huh?”

I stopped typing and looked at him. “Just forget about it, alright? Nothing you say or do will matter.”

“Aw, c’mon, Kit!” He thought for a minute. “How about I get you that yaoi manga you wanted?”

“Really?”

“Sure, if that would make up for earlier.”

“Hm…get me a yuri manga too and you’ll be forgiven.”

“Alright…”

My ears perked up when I heard someone outside. I set my laptop on the coffee table and went to open the door. Neko, Alef, Tori, Azuru, Rin, and Kira stood there. Rin clung to my arm immediately. “Hi-hi, ‘Suki-chan!” she said, smiling.

“H-hey,” I replied. “Why’re you all here?”

“We’re gonna go shopping for our Secret Sweethearts!” Neko said. “Wanna come?”

“Sure, I guess. Hang on.” Rin let go of me and I ran to my room quickly. I grabbed my jacket and purse and ran back to the others. “Alright, lets go.” I looked at Kuma. “I want those manga by the time I get back.” I left before he could say anything else.



“I dunno what to get!” Kira said as we browsed the many selections.

“I’m just as confused as you, Kira,” I said. I looked around. “Hey, where’s Neko?” I asked.

Everyone else looked around. Alef pointed out the window. “Look!” she exclaimed.

Neko was across the street, being backed into an alleyway by some guys that looked to be from our school. They were carrying baseball bats, metal and wooden. The first guy hit her in the side; the second hit her harder in the other side; the third hit her in the leg.

“s**t,” I muttered. “We gotta help her.”

“Wait, look,” Rin said. Someone, who wore something like a Hollow’s Mask and a black hooded cloak, pinned the first guy to the wall. He whispered something to him and let him go. The guy dropped his bat and ran, his friends following him.

I dropped my things and ran across the street before the masked person left. I grabbed the hood of his cloak and pulled it down. My eyes widened when I saw his wolf ears and I left go. “You…who are you?!” I asked.

“You will find out soon enough…sister,” he said, just before fading away.

I helped Neko up and supported her. The others helped.

“What did he mean by ‘sister’?” Alef asked.

“No idea,” I said, shaking me head.



I took off my Hollow’s mask and hung up my cloak. “She survived after all,” I said quietly to myself. “Thank goodness.” I sighed and stared at the tattoo on my arm. I’ve made a huge mistake. I belong to him now. There’s no way out of it. I have no choice; I have to serve him. I made the choice myself; I wanted power. As long as he doesn’t hurt Kitsuki…I’ll continue serving him.
