Hello. Thank you for those who following up to this story. I really appreciate it. Welp! Not gonna hold you guys up, so please enjoy the new chapter.
"Len, it's time for you to wake up." I stirred around in my bed once I heard Kiro's voice. Grunting in response, I turned to my side so I could go back to sleep. "Len, you'll be sorrily mistaken if you think I'm playing. Now get up or else I'll claw your bum-bum." Hearing the clank sound of his claws being brought out from his paws; I then sighed in defeat as I slowly sat up. "Hmpf! I thought you'd see it my way." My eyes glared at the cat in irritation. He really was like my parent.
I feel so groggy. It's either me being hungry or the Life-essence I drank the other night.
Watching as Kiro brought up a hanger of clothes to me, he dropped them in my lap. "I know you still feel tired but that Life-essence you tasted was so much to the point it made your body jittery during your sleep." He spoke as I checked out the clothes he picked out for me. A nice white long-sleeved shirt with one of my grey coats. Fitted black-jeans were neatly folded underneath. "You'll find a pair of earmuffs on top of the combat boots I want you to wear today. They'll be on top of the toilet seat once you go into the bathroom." Crawling onto my lap, he leaned up to lick my cheek. "I'll be waiting down-stairs by the door. You have about fifteen minutes to get ready." Once that was lastly said, he hopped off and went off towards the steps.
I don't know where I'd be without Kiro's help. Lost probably.
Kaito's P.O.V.
"Hurry up, brother. The new shipment of the witches protection should be arriving any moment. You do realize they ship one every year." I knocked on Akaito's door as I waited for him to come out. Getting a hold of this protection barrier is quite important for many reasons. It will grant our clan protection from enemies such as the wolf clan or humans.
Hearing the doorknob twist open, my brother had finally came out. "Alright-. I see you took my advice about cutting that pony-tail you had." He fixed his glasses on the bridge of his nose. "Well, we better get a move on." He lastly said before he sped out the window. Not wanting to say anything, I followed behind.
It took us nothing but three minutes to reach the village of the Witch. Witches were friends to all species except humans after their dark days so long ago. They burned their ancestors on wooden stakes just for being who they are. ... Quite saddening.
Once we began to walk through, we've captured attention rather fast. "I can't blame everyone for their stares. It's rare for high nobility to walk into a village. Especially us." I whispered to myself as I saw a succubus stare at me. She figgited with her fingers trying to figure out whether to approach me or not.
"U-Um, Shion. I know you and your brother may be busy at the moment, but would you be offered in accepting this love potion from me?" A light blush tainted the brunettes cheek once the both of us stopped. Gently grabbing the jar from her, I examined the pink fluid inside. Within a second I gave it back.
I smiled unconsciously once she took it back. "I thank you for such gift, but I must pass. ... Love is something to work and gain. Not getting it easily by these potions. Not to offend you and your species, but the problem for you finding a man to stick with you for eternity is that you guys don't work for love. You take the easy way out by using false affections through these fluids. Things turn out bad when you use them. They might not be so effective, you might give it to a person who already loves you; thus making them completely hate you, or you just kill them because of your own sadness because you know that the person doesn't love you." Her along with a group of people stared at me wide-eyed. "If you can't work for affections, at least be kind enough to respect love. It's not a game to play on one." I lastly said as I continue to stroll down the pathway.
I'm not clear if I caught it, but I think I've made her cry.
Subsiding that thought to the side we had finally made it to the small shop. "We must hurry and buy the damn thing before someone else gets it-" I paused from what I was about to say once I say a familiar blonde standing near the cashier with a cat. There in his hand was the protection barrier. If it weren't for the bell by the door, we would have come in unnoticed by the three.
Seeing the cashier notice us, he quickly stopped what he was doing and greeted us. "It's an honor to have the two Shion brothers in here. What can I do you for?" I tried looking over to my brother for help but all he did was wander off in the store. How likely of him. He knew we have to collect that protection barrier for our clan. Only problem is that Len have it there in his hands.
Shaking my head in response I slowly walked up to the kid. Till I was about three steps away from him, that black-cat stepped in front of him. "Need something?" That cat spoke. Right when he said those words I then knew it was a servant. By the level of protection he's giving the boy prove that he been with him for quite some time. "K-Kaito? What brings you here?" The blonde had then turned to see me. As always, he looks cute.
"Quite the pleasure to meet Len's guardian." I gave a slight bow to the cat. "And it's also a pleasure to see you again, Len. Me and my brother are here to collect a protection barrier for the clan in regards to our father." His eyes had then looked down at the tiny box in his arms. I'm pretty sure he got it for his own protection. (Sighs s.f.x.) I'm sure father will be quite upset once he discover that we don't have it. "... You don't have to worry about it, Len. Keep the protector. I'm pretty sure it's better off in your hands than the clans-" "Wah! R-Really?!" Those blue eyes sparkled in excitement. I couldn't help but chuckle as I nodded my head to him.
"Why are you being so nice to the boy?-" "Kiro, stop-" The cat interrupted the kid. "It's my job to protect you from anyone whether they're in low or high-class, now hush up." He shut the blonde right up. " I don't mean to be so strict, but I'm all that he have left as a parent. Through out the decades of being with this child, everyone, and I mean "Everyone" have shamed him. Just because one person decides to give him a little life-essence and not call him a Bastard-child doesn't mean they're off the hook when it comes to me!" I became a bit stunned from this creatures words. "Len, it's time for us to pick up some food and head home. Say your farewell to the man and let's go." The cat lastly spoke before he headed for the door.
Before I could say anything to the blonde, he quickly gave me a hug. My eyes widened in shock from both the hug and his scent.
"Thank you once again. Please forgive Kiro; he can be very strict when it comes to others interacting with me." He then looked up. "I-I'll see you at the next meeting. Bye, Kaito." The sound of his soft voice echoed through out my head as I watched skip out the store. My eyebrow raised slightly once I quickly stared at his ass before he left the door.
Nearly jumping in surprise, I felt Akaito place his hand upon my shoulder.
"Talk about balls. That cat who just sassed you has some real ones." The red-head began to laugh. Ignoring what he had just said, I began to think on what to tell father for when we get back to our palace.
