CHAPTER 4
Kuon's POV…
I was just going for some fresh, in the Magic Kingdom… I didn't know she would be there. But the damage has done, great, her shadow dog noticed me. I thought it strange that a dog such as that one would willingly be close to a person from the light realms... to any person at that.
"Go away!" I whispered harshly to the approaching dog, his tail was pointed down and straight. It was ready to attack if it needed to, he's protecting her. How odd, normally shadow dogs travel alone.
I was ready to attack too; my right hand was hovering above my knife hilt that was tied to my thigh. However being careless I didn't notice my left hand was held out, and right in front of the dark dog. Before I could switch my arms the dog lounged at my exposed hand, and licked it.
A shadow dog, a supposedly vicious beast, licked my hand. It was cute I had to admit, removing my hand from my knife; I patted his head, when he sensed something. As he trotted to the clearing, shadow dogs stayed away from light this one was different. Looking up I see a six or seven years old girl, and she was starring right at , there goes the chance of not being seen... Damn it.
I stood there wide eyed, she stared back. And we stayed like that, just staring at each other, it was torture! I couldn't help but feel a pinch of envy bubble up inside as I watched her scratch the dog's ear so lovingly. It looked like they both were enjoying it. Then she spoke.
"Um… it seems Ren here likes you…" which was the shadow dog. I agreed and said that he was nice and I also liked him… then I asked for her name.
She took a while to answer, but she finally answered. Kyoko… that's her name, it matches her. After a few thoughts she asked what was mine. If I tell her would she run off and never come here again? Will she freak out that I am the son of the Dark Lord (see what I did there?). Thinking for a few more seconds I told her… and I disappeared, I wouldn't have been able to bear it if another person ran away… I could never make friends with creatures outside of the Dark Realms, who am I kidding? I can't even make friends in my own realm... I hope I will be able to see Kyoko again…
Reaching home I walked to the castle, dazed. My mind wouldn't stop thinking about her… it just kept playing image after image… her cute face, the way her golden eyes shinned bright, and her mouth forming to a smile… it was torturing me! She was invading my mind, and I let it, I liked it…
"Kuon!" a voice shouted for me, turning I see my father with teary eyes, and a hurt expression on his face.
My father, the King of the Dark Kingdom, is soft and gentle. Others see him as cruel, villainous, dark, etc. anything having to do with "evil". Those words… they don't fit my father, not one bit.
"Ya dad, what's up?" I asked with an unsteady smile, he gave me a puppy dog look… uh-oh…
"H-has mom gone out?" I asked a little on edge.
He shook his head furiously, giving me another puppy look. I looked at him, then at his arms held out away from his body.
"You…you want a hug?" he nodded his head.
"… What am I gonna do with you, dad?" I asked sarcastically walking over to him reaching my arms out.
"Ha-ha very funny… Where were you, Kuon?" he raised his arm to my forehead, threatening to flick it.
I, already knowing what he was planning, defended my head.
"I-I was out… getting some air…" my reply sounded shaky even to me. Looking at me my father dropped his arm and pulled me into an embrace.
"Don't stay out too late son… it's dangerous, Kuon..." he was saying then it happened, "Kuon… why do you carry the scent of a shadow dog and a…" he held me at arm length from him… Awe shit!
