Deedlit had fallen asleep, her head leaning sideways as she slept. Her hair swept behind her, her face covered by most of her hair. Akihiro shook her shoulder and she lifted her head. She rubbed her eyes and looked at him. Her eyes lit up when she heard what he said.

"D-do you have a rose garden?" She asked in a hopeful tone. She stood up and stretched and put a hand on her side, wincing slightly.She shook her head slightly before looking back at Akihiro. "You finally have your ears~ You didn't have them ten years ago.." She murmured and looked down at her feet. "When you called me a whelp earlier, did you mean it...?"

Akihiro left ear perked down and lloked at Deedlit a bit confusing. Y - Yess? Why do want to know about my rose garden?as he let silence through the air, She replied to him something odd. Yes, my ears popped out . . . I guess? Akihiro was gonna question her but, he didn't. whelp! If you keep on -- ! He paused then sighed. No, no your not . . . now shall we go to the garden? He held out his hand to her.

"If I told you, you would hurt me again." She whimpered, already flinching. She grabbed Akihiro's hand and let him lead them to the rose garden. Once she was there her face lit up. She let go of his hand and spun in a circle once. "It's just like I remember.." She murmured and walked over to a rose bush. She kneeled beside it and gently stuck her hand into the bush. A purr came from the bush and a black and white cat emerged from it.

"You've been waiting for so long.. I'm sorry I didn't come back sooner." She whispered and picked the cat up. The cat meowed and rubbed it's cheek on her hand. She turned towards Akihiro and slowly walked to him. "He's still the same Akihiro, alright?" The cat nodded and looked around.

The cat ran off and a person returned five minutes later. They wore dress pants, knee-high boots, a tunic and had a quiver and bow with them. "Deedlit." He bowed his head slightly. Deedlit bowed in return. The person had long elf ears, like Deedlit.

"Aikaron, how do you fare?" Deedlit asked, smiling. "Better now that you've returned, Deedlit. That devil took you away before I could stop her. I'm sorry." They hugged each other. "It's alright." Deedlit responded and turned towards Akihiro.

"You probably don't remember, but this is my brother, Aikaron." Aikaron bowed in front of Akihiro. "I will be at your service when you have need of me, sir."

[Pixxel ghost]

Akihiro stood silent as he lead her to the garden. He noticed she looked very happy as Deedlit's expression was so warm and bright. While, Akihiro had no feeling but, confusion. He looked around as his tail was moving like a dancing snake. He then turned his eye towards Deedlit and noticed her hand was in a Rose bush. He was gonna stop her until she pulled out a cat. ummm . . .? He said confusingly. He went towards her and he was about to pet the cat until it left back into the bush. Then a man appeared from the small bush in fancy clothing. Akihiro tilt his head with a blank face. It seems to be Deedlit's kind. A brother? Hmmm . . . He said calmly. But, what did he just do in that shed? He thought. Did those clothes appear on him, himself or did Deedlit brought him some clothes? This was getting to his head and was they trying to plan something. Hello there Aikaron. As he bowed back. Deedlit looked very welcoming and happy to see her brother . . . probably since she was taken to slavery. O - okay Aikaron . . . well Deedlit I will go back into the house so stay with your brother her or go show him around or something. As he turned around then started to walk back inside.

Once Akihiro was in the house Deedlit ran to the far end of the rose garden and sat by a bush. She covered her face with her hands and started crying. Aikaron ran after her and kneeled beside her. "What's wrong Deedee?" Deedlit removed her hands from her face, revealing red puffy eyes. "You don't know how hard it is to be the servant for the man that you loved as a child and never stopped loving?! He doesn't remember me at all. He's abusive. What am I supposed to do?!" She wailed and buried her face in Aikaron's shirt. "He'll remember you eventually. I swear."

"I don't want him to remember me eventually, I want him to remember me now." She murmured and hugged him, still crying.

Akirhiro was standing in the kitchen grabbing a snack. All he found was a bag of cherries. Ehhh ! He opened the bag and plopped a cherry in his mouth. His father walked into the kitchen without Akihiro's attentions. He gave a great pet on his son's back. Hello my boy, How is you and your slave doing. Akihiro jumped in startleness and turned towards his dad with a pouty look. DAD! God don't do that . . .He walked up to the window in the kitchen which had a view of the whole garden. He kinda saw Deedlit's figure but, he could see her brother's figure the most. It's that this Deedlit girl . . . there something strange about her . . . A - and she tells me these "THINGS" that we have done when we were little but, I don't recall any of that. His father then added. She might use you as bait . . . AND TRY TO BREAK FREE FROM HER SLAVE LIFE! As his dad screamed with power. Akihiro stared at his dad with a blank look and added. I highly doubt that. He added. He then turned back to the window as he let a sigh. He turned to his dad and told him. Father? Yes my boy?! Don't hire your gaurds to work here. He growled as his dad laughed with a hint of a hiss in the tone.

"Take a few minutes to calm down, they're watching." Deedlit nodded and was completely fine a few minutes later. There was no trace of tears, and her eyes weren't red. She picked a rose from a bush, pricking her finger while doing so. She licked the blood fom it and held the rose in her hand. Her brother came over and put the rose in her hair and smiled. "You're still as beautiful as ever Deedlit."

"Thank you.." Deedlit murmured and hugged him.

Time Skip

Now it was 22:28 pm. Akihiro couldn't sleep even though he usually had fallen alseep better before. Akihiro gave a room to Deedlit's brother next door, Just incase. Need some milk! He thought. Milk always helped Akihiro's sleeping problems so he snuck into the Kitchen and grabbed a mug in jet black colored and went intot the fridge and grabbed the milk. He poured the milk . . .(and so on) After a huge gulp of milk he wiped his mouth but, his ear perked up and heard a sound. His tail was fizzing out. Danger . . . He grabbed a kitchen knife and walked into the dark hallway. Good thing he is half cat or he would have to startle the creature with the light. He looked around and saw a womenly figure, with a tail dragging on the floor and ears like a wolf. Who are you?! He whispered. The figure had nothing to say but, it vanished. He quickly rubbed his eyes and went back down the hallway to turn on the light switch. Nothing was there. He had suspiousion (spelled it wrong >_< wink in his eyes and quietly checked up on both Deedlit and her brother's room. But, they both was sleeping. Who the hell was that? As he went back into his room and her didn't slept until he had to know who that mysterious person or thing was.

Deedlit woke before her brother and immediately began cleaning the house. Within a few hours she sat at the kitchen table, her head on her arms on the table. She had fallen asleep after cleaning the entire house, except for Akihiro's room and the room her brother slept in.

Aikaron woke when he heard a loud yawn. He dressed quickly and walked into the kitchen. He smiled softly when he saw Deedlit. She was fast asleep and she just looked so cute.. He put his coat on her and began looking for items he could cook.

He sighed when he found what there was in the pantry and fridge. He sighed and began making what he called a traditional breakfast. Within an hour and a half he placed eggs [cooked in different ways of course], bacon [in different ways, of course], biscuits, and potatoes.

He sat in the chair next to Deedlit and sighed in relief. His feet hurt from just doing that for an hour and a half but Deedlit.. She had been working on cleaning the house for hours. "No wonder she fell asleep.." He murmured and stood up. He walked over to Akihiro's room and knocked on the door.

"It's morning, Akihiro-sama and there's breakfast and a clean house as well.." He said and then walked back to the kitchen.

[Pixxel ghost]

Akihiro smelt the delicious aroma of breakfast food. He wanted to awaken from his slumber but, didn't want to wake up but, He heard a voice and the smell was stronger. He slowly opened his eyes and purred. He got up and rubbed his eyes and tried to stare at the person talking. His vision became clear and it was Aikaron. Hmmm . . . He grabbed the plate that was served to him and happily ate the meal. Thank you very much. . . He then remembered something, he fell alseep. Maybe Deedlit might have a free day. As he was talking with his mouth ful. He only talked with his mouth full if he loved the food he was eating. He set the plate aside but, not finished with the food. Now, Let me go freshen up. He strecthed and stood up. Walking to the Bathroom in his room. After his bath and getting dressed he grabbed his leftovers and noticed it was cold. s**t He headed down to the kitchen kinda thinking of what had happen, When he made it to the kitchen he saw Deedlit sleeping. He place the food in the microwave and pressed the buttons. After, he walked up to Deedlit. Hey... . . . Heeyyyy . . . He poked her cheek, trying to wake her up.

[Huntrress Artemis]

H - hey ! Deedlit are you even l - listening ?
I - I'm practicing my c - cello !
Come on~ Dad said w - we could play in the r - r - rose garden !
A - Akihiro ?

O - oh no! I got myself lost and I'm here at [the kitchen.]

Deedlit groaned and pulled away from the prodding finger. She lifted her head and rubbed her eyes. She faintly saw Akihiro. "Ohio, Akihiro-sama.." She murmured, standing up. "Sorry for falling asleep.. You'd get tired too after cleaning the entire house disregarding one room." Then she grabbed some food for herself, handed Akihiro his warmed up food, and warmed her own food up.

She sat at the table and ate slowly, still mostly asleep. Aikaron handed her a glass of some sort of drink. "Your favorite~" He said and she immediately took a sip. "So good.." She murmured then looked at Akihiro.

"Good morning.."

[Pixxel ghost]

Akihiro watch Deedlit as she began eating. He smiled and finished his leftovers. G-goodmorning to you too! He said in a bit of a happy way. He then got up and walked to the mirror. Did anything happen last night to any of you? Like, someone watching you or something? As his tail swayed down.

[Huntrress Artemis]

Deedlit flinched when he asked her if anything had happened in the night. She held her arms and began to tremble. "Y-yes.." Aikaron wrapped his arms around Deedlit and hugged her. "It's all right.." He then looked up at Akihiro. "I was locked in a closet in Deedlit's room and she got beaten by someone and I couldn't help her.." He murmured. "I-i-it was a female with foxlike features.." Deedlit whispered, still holding her arms and trembling.

Aikaron rolled up her sleeves and fell backwards. The words 'Akihiro's friend to a pet' were cut into one arm and 'no freedom' was cut into the other. Bruises surrounded the phrases and she winced at the slightest touch. "You cleaned the entire house with these wounds? There is no way these will heal without scarring!" He murmured.

[people have different features for a reason~]

[Pixxel ghost]

Akihiro got up to Deedlit and softly touched the wounds. He wanted to know who the person Deedlit and attacked. As she flinched with the touch, he had slowly moved his hand away. Aikaron, If I was you . . . sleep in your sister's room tonight. Just to be on the safe side. I will have my father's gaurds have a watchout through out the house. He said in a shallow voice. After a moment of silence he added. If anything, I suggest Deedlit scream and.... or Aikaron should quickly find help. He then called one of the gaurds. As the gaurd appeared he whispered the plan to the gaurd and then with a blink of an eye he was gone. He stood in the kitchen and sat down across from Deedlit. What do you want to do? Want to help the wounds and I guess weall can enjoy a walk? He said softly, so He can at least make Deedlit try to forget what had happen to herself.

[Huntrress Artemis]

Deedlit trembled and put a hand on one of her arms. She gimaced but she kept her hand there. Her brother cleaned the wounds and bandaged them with clean cloth bandages. "Do you want me to check your other wounds while I'm at it?" Deedlit looked at her arms. "Why not?"

Aikaron removed the blood bandages, cleaned the wounds, and put clean bandages on them. Deedlit rolled her shirt down again and stood up. She walked over to Akihiro and hugged him tightly, putting her face in his chest. "I'm sorry that I cause so much trouble. Thanks for always helping me," She said, her voice muffled by Akihiro's shirt.

She stopped hugging him and took a step back. "S-sorry.." She held her arms and looked at the ground, looking guilty. Aikaron put his arm on her shoulders.

"It's alright, Nightingale. He'll forgive you," He whispered to her and she looked up. "S-sorry.." She murmured again, a small smile beginning to grow on her face.
