~Karou's (neko) POV~

So here we are again. Punch to the chest, knee to the gut elbow to the face. Punch, knee, elbow, chest, gut, face. A snap, a throw to the wall, so much blood. "Have our money brat." I obediently nodded. As soon as they're gone I passed out.

~Hikaru's POV~

I hate walking through this part of the city. I saw three guys walk out of the alleyway across from me one had red on his shirt and jacket. I waited until they were gone to sneak into the alley. I found a boy covered in blood his hair was long and red from his blood. I called the limo to tell them to come pick me up and I had someone with me.

~at home~

The second I walked through the door people took the boy to be cared for. "Young master." A timid maid said.

"Yes." I said turning to her.

"Are you okay?"

"Fine, better than that guy." She nodded at that and left.

~Karou's POV~

I woke up in a large bed, in some room. I felt my head, stiches; someone must have patched me up. I tried to sit up but my body didn't agree. I went to grab my hair at my shoulders to play with it, but it wasn't there. My hair, someone cut my hair short.

"What the fuck!" I said to myself. "Watch your mouth." Some guy said. "Who the hell are you." I said as I stood up and pretend like it didn't hurt. "The guy who saved your ass so be nicer to me." He said and walked over to me. "What is your name?" I said before he pushed me back on to the bed. "Stop trying to act so tough." He told me. "Answer my question."

"Hikaru H-" he said as he turned on the light next to me. "What is the matter with *lifted my head* you." "Holy shit." We said at the same time.

We sat there with his parents pacing around us who was forced to sit on the couch. "Sweetheart we never thought this would happen." The mother said to me. "Whatever I just want to leave I got people to see and money to make."

"Wait you can't go come live with us we can be a happy family."

"I'm fine with the people I got." I said getting up.

"Really is that why I found you the way you were." Hikaru said.

"Yeah it was." I said.

"Stay."

"No, I'm not getting close to someone again." I said and walked away.

"Please stay."

"No cause someone's going to get hurt whether it's me, or you, or someone else." I said making a turn.

"Fine just stay." He said

"Why." I said stopping at a door.

"Because I don't want to lose you now that I know you exist. Please stay." He said and hugged me from behind. It felt weird I'm not use to physical contact but it felt nice to so I relaxed. "Will you stay?" He whisper in my ear.

"Fine." I mumbled.

"Good." He said.

Normal POV

So here he is standing with his brother in 'their' room. "Hum." He said looking over his new housing. "What." His brother said.

"It's not over not yet."

"What's not over?"

"That guy looking for and attacking me."

"Don't worry."
