The sun softly rose into the door, landing softly on the girls face. She stirred around, covering her face away from the worm sun. She snuggled into the worm, soft blanket, sighing softly. Rubbing her eye with the back of her hand, she slowly open them. Sitting up, she yawned, her eyes flickering shut. Something sweet filler her nose she open her blue eyes again, looking around. She notice shadow was up, as he was walking over to her. Setting a plate on her lap, he smiled down at her.

"Hey sleepy head, I was about to wake you" he chimed, smiling more. She blinked, confused a little. "Its noon.." he said, his smile faded a little.

"Oh.." she said. "well, uh, thank you" she said, smiling a little. "But you didn't need to..."

"I had to"

"What..?" The girl was very confuse now.

Sighing, Shadow said, "My job called me, their letting me work at home now. I have to go back to my work to get everything from my desk. I'll only be gone for an hour or two." The girl nodded. "and, I let you use my laptop to listen to music or whatever, and, I finished washing your cloths. Their on the counter in the bathroom for you." he said, smiling more. Getting up, he went over to a end table by the hallway, as he unplug his laptop, then walked back to the girl. He set it down on the coffee table, looking back at her. "here you go..Now, I have to go.." He smiled, grabbing his bag and his keys, then left the house. The girl rushed to the window, watching him leave. Sighing, she smiled. His car was now long gone, as she looked at the door. It was open, but the screen door was closed. She shrugged, turn around, grabbing the plate of food into her hands, as she walked out onto the patio. She plopped down in one of the wicker chairs, as she nibbled on the eggs he cooked for her. Once she was done, she looked out onto his yard, seeing it was simple, a few bird houses, a bird bath, flowers around it, as a stone path. She got up, grasping her plate, and walk back into the house.

"I know I should get going, but that would be rude...Plus...I have nowhere to go..." she growled lightly to herself. Washing her plate, she dried her hands, as she went to the bathroom, changing into her cloths. As she slipped her shirt on, she smelled it, as a soft smile played on her lips. It smelled sweet, as took off her towel, that she notice, took her fingers though her hair. With his shampoo, it made her hair silk, shine even with little light, as soft. She placed her hat on her head, as she took the cloths and towel and found a little hamper, placing them in it.

She walked out the bathroom, as she head to the laptop. Opening it, it turn to life. she open FireFox, as she went to , and made a playlist. She stood up as the music played. She looked around seeing that the house had a lot of dust. "Might as well" she mumbled, as she looked around for a duster. Once found, she swiftly made her way though the house, as her little duster picked up all the dust.

Bending over, she was tried, letting out a long sigh. She stood back up, as she looked at the door in front on her. Shadow's room.

"would he mad if I dust his room...?" she asked herself. Think for a minute, she shrugged, and open the door.

His room was different from the rest of the house. His room was a dark shad of red, as his bed was all black. A desk and a nightstand stood on each side of his bed. On the nightstand was a lamp, and a clock. The desk had papers stacked and stacked messily. His ceiling fan was turn on low, as a flat screen t.v hanged in front of his bed on the wall. She couldn't hear here music, so she went to retrieve the laptop. Placing it down on his bed, she reached high up, taking the duster over the top of his t.v. Then, she turn on his fan for a minute to clean it. Turn it back on, she plopped down on his bed, letting out a sigh. Rolling over, she looked at the laptop, seeing 3 hours had past by. Rolling her eyes, she let out a huff. She messed around with the laptop to pass time.

Shadow pulled into his drive way, as he shut off his car, when he notice that his front door was open.

'Did I lean that open?' he thought to himself. Pulling a box onto his lap, he open his door. Shutting his door, he locked his car, and slowly pace to the front door. Once open, he walked in, as it slammed behind him.

He stop, his ears high up, as he heard a soft noise. His brows frowned as he slowly set the box down in one of the chairs, as he swiftly walked around the house, trying to find the girl, whom he could not find anywhere, and the noise. He ran around his house more, as he started to panic.

'Did something happen to her?' he thought to himself again. He stop, as he notice where the noise was coming from. His room.

Opening the door slowly, he saw a faint light. Walking over to it, he notice it was his laptop. Next to it, the girl was sprawled over his bed, her face hidden from his pillow. Music played from his laptop, as he looked at the screen, seeing a little pop up. Closing it, the music stop. He heard a soft, little snore come from the girl, as she slowly rolled herself over, sticking her nose out from under the pillow, as she pulled it on top of her, hugging it close to her. She brought up one knee to her, as shifted around a little.

A small smile played on his face, as his hand lightly brush her arm, as she flinch. Rolling over again, she face her back to him. Grabbing her shoulder lightly, he shock it. Groaning, she rolled onto her back, as she lazily open her eyes. She glared at him, but then closed her eyes, letting go of the pillow. She yawned, stretching her arms up, letting out a grunt. Opening her eyes, she looked at him, her eyes tried, as she smiled softly. Closing them again, she relaxed. He was about to say something, but she shot up, staring at him, wide eye.

"Oh my God! Shadow, I'm sorry!" she yelled, as she jumped off the bed. Her knees shock, as they threaten to give out. Tears spilled out of her eyes as she clasped, sobbing into her hands.

Worm arms wrapped their way around her, pulling her close to them. Shadow rested her head on his shoulder, as his hand lightly rubbed her back, while she sob. He tucked his face in her neck, closing his eyes.

"Don't cry Fox, I should be saying sorry." He started, trying to make her stop crying. His heart ache, seeing her in this state again. "I was Two hours later then I hoped." he went on, his arms wrapping a little tighter around her. "Don't cry..." he repeated, as his hand smooth her hair.

The girl sniffled, as she also tucked her face into his neck. His body was worm and welcoming, as she slowly wrapped her arms around him. He was much taller and lager, so her finger barely touch when wrapped around him. She found that she was on his lap, her legs lightly tucked under her, while he sat there, crossed leg. Her body shock as she took in deep breath, but her tears has now stop.

Her finger lightly fiddle with the end of his hair, while he gently used his hand to rub her back and neck. Her eyes her were half open, as her moved her head again, so she was looking at the wall. His breath tickled her neck each time he breathed, as she final giggled.

"whats so funny...?" he asked, as she giggled more.

"You" she said, pushing away. "you're tickling my neck" she laugh lightly. Chuckling to himself, he push her off his lap, as she landed on her back, laughing more. The girl laugh along, as she sat back up, shoving him back. He tumble back, landing onto his back. The burst out laugh more, as he sat back up.

"That wasn't nice!" he laughed, shacking his head.

"So, you started it!" she giggled. After laughing, Fox whipped the tears away, as she got up, shadow following. Yawning again, shadow spoke.

"You can take another nap if you want..." Fox turned to him, a brow lifted lightly up. "all I was going to do was make lunch and unpack my stuff." he said, rubbing the back oh his head. She nodded slowly, as she made her way out the room, her face having a little shad on it, as she sat down on the couch, resting her head down on it, throwing the blanket over her head, blocking the sun. She curled up, as she soon drifted off again.

She felt a slight tug on her blankets after a while, as she slowly peeked her head out of under her worm blanket, seeing shadow bend down, so his face was leave with her's. A soft smile played on his face as he gently pulled her up so that she was sitting up. Yawning she closed her eyes, and then lean foreword, her hands lightly draped over her feat. Her mouth widened as she yawn again, her body shock with her. She threw herself back, as she landed back on her back, as she pulled the blankets over her, and rolled over, her back to him. She curled up, but felt another tug on the blanket.

"what..." she grumbled, pulling the blanket back. His soft chuckle was heard, as he leaned over her, pulling the blanket away.

"Lunch is done" and then he was gone. Annoyed, she sat up, as she glared of his form that dispersed away into a different room. A small smirk for on her lips as an Idea pop in her head. Getting up; with the blanket still wrapped around her; she moved quickly away.

Shadow waddle into the room, a smirk played on his face as plate was in his hand. He walked into the living room, seeing that the girl was gone. Confused, he set the plate down, as he started to look around the room. without seeing her, he moved onto the other rooms. He walked around, when he enter his room once more. His lamp was still on were he left it, as he saw a bundle on his bed. Smirk, he jumped on the bed, making the girl bounce up. She let out a faint scream, as she landed back down. She was breathing heavily as her eye snapped over to him, glaring. His smiled faded as she got up, turning on her heals as she walked away, the blanket grasped tightly in her grip. He got up quickly, as he followed. He hope he didn't get her mad.

Oh but did he. She threw the blanket on a chair as she walked outside, the door slaming quite hard. He flinch as he rushed after her. Once he was outside, he saw her sprinting down the road. "no..." he whispered, as he himself, ran after her. She was fast for how small she was. Her feet brealy touch the ground, as her arms pummed there way infront of her. He wasn't far behind as he notice her trip.

She landed hard down onto the dirt road. Everything around him stop. Her body didn't move once he got to her. He quickly got down on his knees, as little drops of ran landed on him and the girl. She laid there, blood trickling down her arms and legs. A thin stream of blood ran down from her head, as the dirt around her started to get bloodly. Without think, he picked her up, throwing her over his shoulder, as he started to sprint down the road, back to his house. The rain poared down hard, as he keep running. Her boddy sturried only a bit, but then went back still. The only thing he could hear was his heavy breathing, and her small whimpperes. He saw his house, as a sigh came from his lips. He was soaked, and shiver, but he was more worried about the girl.
