Hi everyone so I am finally back with this story I know not a lot of people read it but I am very grateful for those who do! Thank you all again and I will posting the next chapter right after this! Enjoy!


WITH KIM

Kim woke up with her face still red from the event last night. Maro had kissed her! How many times had he done it before when she actually was asleep, was a mystery to her.

Kim: Maybe he actually dose like me like that!?

Kim got up got dressed and downstairs to the kitchen to start of breakfast. Deciding that regular eggs, bacon, and toast sounded good, she pulled out the eggs, bacon, and butter closed the fridge door and carried the supplies to the counter top. Walking into the pantry, she grabbed three different kinds of bread. Ever since the boys had moved in and discovered how many options there were to something such as simple as bread, they had their favorites. Robbin liked rye bread, Maro liked plain white bread, and Kim personally liked wheat.

When she walked back out she saw Maro still half asleep dragging himself in the kitchen. She giggled, walking over to the toaster to get them started.

Kim: Good morning sleeping beauty.

Maro: Moring Kim…do you need help with anything?

Kim smiled at Maro's generosity.

Kim: Sure when the toast pops up will you lightly butter them for me?

Maro: Sure thing.

He smiled and dragged a chair over to the counter and sat there with his head in his arms watching the toaster. Kim laughed and he let out a small sarcastic noise, but it seemed he was too tired to do anything else. Kim let out another laugh before turning her attention back to the stove to work on the eggs. You would think since Maro and Robbin were wolves they would eat a lot, but it was quite the opposite. They both only ate usually one egg, two pieces of bacon, and one piece of toast. Robbin had tried to explain to Kim that it was a natural instinct to ration their meals and only eat what they had to, something they couldn't help…blah…blah. Kim smiled and flipped the egg she was working on. When she cooked, she kind of went into her own little world.

Maro watched her with an interest as she cooked. He was thinking of how he was going to tell her that he liked her so much. Watching as her silky brown hair flowed down her face framing it perfectly. She was such a beauty with such rare green eyes since most bunny eyes were brown. Not to mention she was fit beyond belief, with her warm up you could have a six pack in a week, and workout only a few people in the world could keep up with. Maro smiled a brought his attention back to the toasted and noticed his reflection in the shiny metal surface.

Maro: I look like I was ran over by some horse demons ha-ha

Kim looked over at him and really took in his appearance; his bangs were a tangled mess his fur was ruffed up a little bit and one of his ears hung down to the side. Still to Kim he was a cute as ever.

Kim: No it's a good look for you! You should try it more often!

Maro: Really you think so!?

Maro asked with a hint of sarcasm as he got up and walked over to Kim who was now cooking the bacon. He rested his chin on Kim's shoulder and she lightly blushed.

Maro: That smells really really really good Kim!

Kim then rolled her eyes of course that was what he was thinking.

Maro: But nothing smells as good as you do.

Kim instantly froze, did he really just say that? Maro chuckled and nuzzled his nose into her neck before running off upstairs to wake up Robbin. Kim put her free hand up to her neck where he had just been it was still warm from his touch. It sent shivers down her spine, the things this silly wolf did to her. Just a few moments later she heard a scream in the living room. Kim dropped the fork she was using a ran into the living room, Maro and Robbin right behind her ready to fight. But when they looked around all they saw was Kim's parents jumping up and down with joy. Kim face palmed and shook her head waiting for them to calm down she went a finished breakfast quickly. Robbin followed her in there to help set the table. Maro followed shortly afterward holding his ears to try and muffle all the screaming. Just as Kim placed all the food on the tables for everyone her parents came running in to their place at the table. Her dad at the head of the table, her mother to his right and she to his left like it normally is. Then Maro sat next to Kim and Robbin next to her mother. Robbin gave Maro a sorrowful look and Maro nodded his head, Kim just rolled her eyes, there was only one thing that these two go so riled up over. That was a challenge to her dad's racing skills. Kim told Maro and Robbin to go ahead and start eating, but before they could even pick up their forks Rex, Kim's dad, cleared his throat.

Rex: As you all know my racing business is very large and very respected. We often get challenges from other racers, but today we have a challenge from someone very special indeed.

He looked at each of us, but none of us were interested.

Mona: ITS SONIC THE HEDGEHOG!

Kim: WHAT?

It really caught Kim's attention, her father had been trying challenge Sonic the hedgehog for years and now all of a sudden he said yes. Either the guy was really bored or there was something going on. Kim might have been homeschooled, but she had common sense.

Kim: Father you have been asking Mr. Sonic to race you for the past few years and he has always politely declined, why would he decide now to accept the challenge?

Rex: Kimberly dear does it really matter, Mr. Sonic has accepted that is all that matters.

Kim: I told you my name is Kim…uh does it say anything else?

Her father quickly skimmed through the letter.

Rex: Not much other than he may look different, it says here that he lost a dare to the someone named Shadow.

Robbin: You mean Shadow the hedgehog, the dark hero or something like that. I heard the guy is something else, that he could run as fast almost faster than Sonic.

Mona: Preposterous no one is faster the you Rex dear.

Rex: Thank you darling well it says he will be arriving here within the next few days…boys the house needs to be spotless I want you both working from dawn til dusk to make this house shine.

Kim looked around the kitchen…nothing was wrong with it, it was already spotless. She just shook her head and excused herself from the table a dumped her plate not feeling hungry anymore. Then she remembered something very important, running back into the kitchen she stepped beside her father.

Kim: Father did any mail come for me today?

Asking and hoping he was as oblivious as usual and didn't open the letter. Maro and Robbin's head shot up worry and panic shown on their faces.

Rex: Hm?...Oh yes there was a letter for you…i-it's in the living room.

Kim: Thank you father.

Kim gave a sigh of relief before running into the living room to get the letter. Thankfully it hadn't been opened, Kim picked it up and rushed back into the kitchen. She gave a wink to Maro and Robbin before heading upstairs to her room. Maro and Robbin exchanged a glance before quickly gobbling up their food and excusing themselves. Robbin tussled Maro's hair laughing at each other before making their way up to Kim's room the fun way.

Maro jumped onto the hand rail, while Robbin gripped the ceiling with his claws. Maro hopped up to a bar a few feet above him and Robbin flipped the side of the way and then propelling himself up to a higher part of the hand rail. Maro flipped himself around the bar like a gymnasts and launched himself to the top of the stairs with Robbin landing right beside him a second later. They both chuckled before running down the hall to Kim's room…so they weren't technically aloud to practice their skills in the house, but how were they going to train for the jobs in house if they didn't? So naturally, they learned to be extra sneaky going up and down the stairs the fun way. Maro busted through the door first to find a paper floating in the middle of the air…

Maro: Kim your invisible again.

She reappeared instantly looking at him with a sassy smile.

Kim: I'm sorry we can't all be as fantastic as you sometimes.

Robbin: Ha you all wish you could be as good as me.

Both Kim and Maro rolled their eyes before they all looked at each other and smile. Robbin closed the door and went to sit in the rolling desk chair leaning back to close his eye. Maro jumped up to the lifted swing in her room and curled up to rest his eyes a bit.

Kim: Are my parents still fixated on Mr. Sonic?

Robbin: Yeah your good to talk.

Kim: Okay…by the way something is not sitting right with me about that whole thing.

Maro: Its Sonic the freaking hedgehog who cares?

Kim: I do, but we will deal with that later, right now I got our job for the night.

Robbin: Lay it out.

Kim: It says ' Dear Ms. Orchid and Taka brothers, we again are requesting your assistance, your new target will be simple we have acquired all the information for you please proceed to read all about him I am sure you will be pleased. ~Sincerely E'

That was all he said…that is a little weird… do you think?

Maro: We are never going to know if you don't open the rest of it.

Kim opened the rest of the letter and began to read it aloud to her friends.

Kim: It says our target is Kazuto!

Both Maro and Robbin sat up with their eyes widen.

Maro: Did you just say Kazuto?

Kim: Yes.

Robbin: The Kazuto…as in Kutan's Japanese general Kazuto?

Kim: YES! This is amazing, E and his company are getting closer to finding him, we knew about Kazuto for only a few months, these guys are getting better. Maybe we will eventually find Kutan!

Kim could feel her excitement building, she was getting closer to killing the demon that had ruined her friends life and had tried to ruin her own. She still remember that day when he came. She knew who he was instantly and tried to attack him, but she was to young and naïve. She never even touched him, but he had made a meat sack out of her and almost killed her if it had not been for Maro and Robbin. Just before he left he threw some kind of dust at her and she make the mistake of inhaling almost all of it. They all had their own reasons for going after Kutan. They had found out lots of things including that Kutan had given the orders to have Maro and Robbin's parents killed. Of course, Maro took care of them personally, but that still left Kutan himself.

Robbin: This could change everything, Kutan's forces would come crumbling down here and it would force him to come back to Okinawa form wherever that snake is hiding!

Maro: We could have him in just a few months to a year!

Kim: This is really happening!

Maro: Well go on what do we know?

Kim: Oh yeah…It says here that for just tonight Kazuto will be in Okinawa from Tokyo to have a meeting with some other small time lords within Kutan's forces here. It is in an old building just outside of town…

Maro: What is it Kim?

Kim read the rest of the paper and couldn't believe her eyes. She looked up to Robbin looking like she was ready to cry.

Robbin: What is it Kim?

Kim: Kazuto…he…he was the one that killed Jac-Jac's mother b-before setting the house on fire.

Maro eyes widen and he turned his attention to his brother, he knew how he felt about her. Robbin was stunned, then anger boiled over into his orange eyes.

Robbin: He's mine!

Robbin growled knowing no one would object to his demands, he could feel the pressure building in his hands and feet, he needed to hit something and soon. Kim nodded knowing that same feeling went on to explain what they were to collect as information before killing him off. Then it went on to tell how to kill him to make sure it looked like a murder and set it up to have one the other lords take the fall when everything was said and done. Robbin nodded before sprinting out the window of Kim's room to the trees in front of it. He took off his mind in a haze only knowing that he needed some type of release.

Kim watched as one of her best friend ran off in pain knowing all too well what he was going through. Rage, Jac-Jac, Kim, Robbin, Maro, and Inyu had all been so close to each other; it was hard for everyone to see anything bad happen to either of them.

Maro: He will be fine Kim he was like this when we found out about our parents too.

Kim: I know but still I worry about him.

Maro: You worry about everybody don't you ever worry about yourself?

Kim: When I need too.

Kim looked at Maro still cuddled up in her little swing built for three people, she smiled a jumped up there to settle in with him. Robbin would be gone for a while and by now; her parents would be gone off to work. Maro opened one eye to see that she want to come up and so he scooted over just a bit. Kim smiled and snuggled up next to him, it was nice for it to just be her and him. Maro smiled at her when he saw how close she was and still relaxed. If anyone, she didn't know got even three feet near her she went on the defensive immediately. He opened both his eyes and saw her looking at the necklace again.

Maro: Kim why do want everyone to call you Kim instead of Kimberly?

The question surprised her a bit and she had to put some thought into it.

Kim: I guess because it is easier, and well there are two other reasons. One I don't know that I really like my name and I only want one person in the world to call me by my real first name.

Maro: Well let's start with why you don't like your name.

Kim: I don't know for sure I guess because it is kind of a silly name.

Maro: Kim your name is beautiful…Kimberly Song Orchid. I think it the prettiest name I have ever heard.

Kim: Yeah right, now your just trying too hard.

Maro sat up trying to be more forward with her.

Maro: I am not Kim, I like you name just the way it is I wouldn't want it any other way. Now to the next part who would that person be?

Kim: What?

Maro: The only person you to want to call you by your real first name.

Kim:Oh right…I kind of want that to b-be my ….my mate. I know that sounds really dumb, but I think only he should get to have that right. It does sound dumb doesn't it?

Maro smiled and pushed her hair away from her eyes that were trying to hide. She blushed a little and looked at him and he looked at her smiling happily. Wrapped up in each other's eyes.

Maro: No Kim it's not dumb, I think if that is want you want you should do it. Either way any guy would be lucky to have you, your amazing Kim.

Kim: Thanks Maro you pretty awesome yourself.

Maro: I don't know about all that Kim, but how are you going to find your mate if you never get out of this house beside when we have a job, if you're not careful you might end up with Robbin and I forever ha-ha.

Kim: Maro you are to amazing and who said that I haven't already found him and maybe you just haven't met him yet.

Kim decided she would mess around with him for a while.

Maro: Oh and who is this so-called mate of yours?

Kim: Can't tell ya or I would have to kill ya ha-ha.

Maro: Oh touchy…Okay then what does he look like.

Kim: I can't tell you that either.

Maro: Well dang what can you tell me about him?

Kim giggled and looked up to Maro's eyes again hoping he might get the message.

Kim: All I can say is that he is the most amazing sweetest, wonderful guy in the whole world. And I hope one day I will get him all to myself.

Kim genuinely smiled at Maro, and it instantly melted his heart. He wanted to tell her so bad, how much he cared, how much he wanted to have her all to himself. But the question still stood too if she loved him back.

Maro: Kim….I…I…

Kim: Yes Maro?

Maro: I am glad you think you have found your mate if were being serious, just so you know he is the luckiest man alive, having someone like you like him.

Kim: Oh…thanks Maro

Kim was a little disappointed, but what else should she expect…maybe he didn't like her. Her smile faded and Maro didn't like that at all.

Maro: Hey what's wrong Kim…your way to cute to be frowning like that.

Kim blushed a little bit…maybe all hope wasn't lost. She smiled again to let him know she was okay.

Kim: I'm fine Maro, but we do need to get ready to go stake out that house, come back and clean until night fall. Go get ready we leave in an hour, we need to bug the place up and set up camera's.

Maro: Sounds like a plan, Robbin should be back within the hour I will get his stuff ready to go in the meantime.

He gave Kim a light squeeze on the shoulder before jumping off her swing and practically gliding out the door swaying his tail back and forth. Trying to keep the drool leaking from her mouth in place she licked her lips and jumped down to her floor. Shaking her head to get the captivating fox out of her mind, she walked pass her bed to her walk in closet. Stepping in she passed all the clothes you could possibly imagine to only come to a small cabinet, she reached down towards the bottom flipping a secret switch. The counter top next to the cabinet pushed out a small compartment, containing her wonderful gi and armor to match it along with the sash the she carried ever since she became friends with Kaiashiro. She still remembered how they had met that day. Slowly her thoughts drifted, seeing the memories playback in her mind vividly.
