I do not own

Saki retired to his bedroom, wondering after all these centuries if he was getting soft. He not only took one child off the street but two. One who didn't know her name, he named Karai and Winter who did know her name had striking blue eyes. He made sure they knew not to come out of their shared room. He sighed tired, he had to get back to looking over papers. After looking over papers, he took a hot bath and retired for the night. Wondering what he would do about the two girls, and see what strength they had.

With the girls

Winter smiled at being able to sleep in a soft bed again, she tried to talk to Karai, but she just ignored her. Karai reminded her of a cat, she just had to wait and soon she'll come around. Though she won't be licking her face anytime soon.

"Master Saki said he will test us for tomorrow in the early morning, go to sleep." Karai scolded from her side of the room

Winter rolled her eyes, she was getting tired of her acting like the boss. She decided to do what she said and snuggled into the warm covers. She fell asleep easy being free of dirt, and in the softest bed ever.

Though she did not fall asleep to dreams

A man sneaks into a window slowly going into the bedroom. They took out a weapon approaching someone sleeping. They plunged their weapon into the sleeping person, they screamed in agony. Turning around the sleeping person was master Saki, they kept on stabbing him until he dropped. "Master Harou sends his regards" The attacker said then sets the bedroom on fire.

Winter woke up screaming, Karai jumped up scared looking to the girls bed ready to yell. She looked around she wasn't there and the bedroom door is open.

Winter ran to Master's Saki's bedroom, she opened the door running to him crying. She saw the window the person came out of. She shook him hard "Master please wake up! Wake up!" She yelled scared.

Saki groaned opened his eyes, shocked to see Winter in front of him crying. He was ready to reprimand her "Wi-"

"Master Harou sent someone to kill you, they stabbed you and set the house on fire." She said fast but clear clinging to him crying her eyes out.

Saki looked at her processing what she said. "How do you know Harou?" He looked at the possible traitor. He would have to give his enemy credit for training someone so young.

"He sent someone through that window" She pointed at the one she saw "to kill you. He burns the house down." She said crying into his chest

"Winter I am fine." He said looking at her, feeling awkward, though wanting to know what she's seen that he didn't.

She looked at him, shaking her head "No someone will-" She stopped talking to look at the window, a she felt something in the middle of her stomach.

Saki looked at the now quiet girl and to the window, though he did hear the latch being picked. He took out his hidden weapon. He slowly got out of bed, Winter ran out the room scared. He made it look like he was in bed and hid in the shadows.

He watched as they unlocked the latch and skillfully climbed in. He waited until they attacked the covers, once he did Saki attacked him.

Winter ran to the guard's room, she pounded with her little fists. She smiled relived when someone opened the door.

"He's being attacked by someone that Harou sent!" She yelled at him, scared.

That woke him up instantly, holding his weapon tight he ran out.

Winter followed after him only to stop seeing the lit hallways but the bedroom and a foaming at the mouth Saki with a dart in his chest. She fell down in pain, grabbing her head.

"Careful of the poison dart." She warned tired

Junko stopped to look at the little girl but went back to running to aide his master. He busted through the doors to see Saki had finished with the enemy. Saki turned around to speak to him about Winter. Though Junko pushed him away to stop the ninja from tossing the poison dart.

He snatched it from them and stabbed them with the poison dart. Saki looked at him shocked "How did-"

"Winter she warned me, just as I was racing to aide you my lord." He said bowing, while tired.

"Dispose of this." Saki said looking at the dead body in disgust

He walked out of the room going to find the little girl, who just became very special. He headed for the girl's room, though he stopped to see Winter clutching her head in pain. He rushed over to her "Are you hurt?"

She nodded "My head and my eyes." She whimpered out

He carefully picked her up, he stopped Junko who was heading for his bedroom. "Get me a maid in the girl's room with ginger tea to stop the pain."

Junko nodded looking to the little girl in pain, before running to do what he said.

Saki walked to the girl's room, he turned on the lights. Karai turned around ready to yell at Winter until she saw who was in the room.

"I'm sorry I should have watched her more, I am the oldest." Karai said loud which Winter groaned at.

"Quit." He whispered harshly as he sat down on Winter's bed. "She's in pain."

He put Winter in her bed comfortably, and leaned on the side so she could snuggle into him. She moved his hand onto her head, though he stilled at the action. Karai watched as a maid came in with some tea, and how the little girl drank it slowly.

"Do you feel better?" Oroku asked after she finished half of the tea

She nodded slowly "How did you know they were going to attack?" He asked her

"I saw it in my dreams." She said simple shrugging her shoulders

"In your dreams...that's interesting. Do you think you can sleep on your own?" He asked wanting research this.

"I won't be alone, I have Karai." She said putting a smile on her face looking at the girl

"Of course." He said leaving them
