Here's the mail it never fails it makes me wanna wag my tail, when it comes I wanna yell MMMMAAAIIIILLLLLL! *In my best Steve from Blue Clues voice...*

Nah, but here's another chapter for ya'll but first:

CHARA ATE MY SOUL- yes yes and hell yes! that was one of my favorite scene from Naruto, it still give me the chills I just couldn't resist! and any reactions are totally normal. I once broke out in a fit of maniacal laughter at my job when I saw a story I liked updated...and I work at the front counter of admissions and records...i'm the first person people see. I had no regrets even with all the stares I got lol.

Eagle Nebula- Thanks bro *insert fist pump*

Dark Rose Charm- wow thank you so much for all your comments I really appreciate it. :D

The moon was her sun...

The night was her day...

Her blood is their life...

But they are her prey...

To me child's silent weeping was worse than a tantrum or screaming.

His eyes welled up with a sadness his young years should not possess.

They showed his soul, the silence of his cry was eerie, like he had been forced to learn how to do this.

What would it take to mend a soul as damaged as that and who would try?

I walked over wrapping my arms around him. "Subaru-kun darling, why are you out here in the gardens all alone."

He was silent for a moment and I questioned if he would answer me.

"I like the gardens..."

I smiled softly. "And what about the gardens do you like the most."

He thought for a moment. "The roses…they are special."

I raised an eyebrow before looking at the roses, all that surrounded us were white roses.

I stared at the roses already seeing where this was going. "Because they remind you of her."

He nodded.

"Do you feel attached to theses roses. These roses so pure that dare you to touch but punish you with thorns." I said more to myself with a frown. I didn't like his attachment to these roses…they were breathtakingly beautiful but they were deceitful and dangerous…just like her.

But the same could easily be said for me.

He looked up at me as I continued to stare at the roses. Feeling his eyes on me I cleared my face of my negative emotions. He didn't need any more negative emotions around him, he carried enough as it was.

"I can help you take care of these…if you want." I said after a moment.

"Why?" He asked curiously.

I smiled "Because I know how much it means to you. If it is important to you, then I will make it important to me too."

I grabbed his hand pulling him with me as I began the basics of teaching him to take care of the roses.

"You're getting all dirty." Subaru muttered.

"So are you." I pointed out and I chuckled when he looked away.

I pulled back watching him as he continued to clean up the roses, pulling out the weeds and watching out for thorns.

"You've done a beautiful job." I said making his face flush with embarrassment.

"Really?"

"Yes," I said inspecting the flowers. "You were able to even reach the ones I could not because of my size. Now the garden will be even better."

I blinked when I felt the pull on my dress skirts, my eyes shifted to a red faced Subaru who looked like he was trying to look everywhere except into my eyes.

"T-Thank you for teaching me M-Michiko-chan…"

I smiled unable to resist the urge of peppering his face with kisses. "Subaru-kun is such a sweet boy, I could just devour you completely."

His face was red as he stuttered in shock unable to form words and unable to fight back against my passionate assault.

~~~Guilty Pleasures~~~

"Where are we going Michiko-chan?"

"Why to go get cleaned up, we are dirty remember? We need to take a bath."

His eyes widened. "A bath? Both of us?"

I chuckled. "Yes both of us."

"Can we bathe…together?" He asked shyly and I looked at him.

"Oh what a naughty boy my little dove is…" I cooed my cheeks rosy. "You should wait until your older Subaru-kun, and mature a bit more, you'll have more fun that way."

"Eh?!" He said his face growing redder in confusion and embarrassment not picking up on my sexual perversion, such an innocent boy…

"It's just my mother used to bathe with me before…" He trailed off and I nodded.

"I don't mind darling I'm only teasing." I said as I strolled into my room. I gathered several items before making my way towards my bathroom.

"Your bathroom is really big…" Subaru said after a while staring at the giant tub.

"But of course, I cherish my baths. I get the time to relax peaceful and be alone." I said honesty.

"I'm interrupting." Subaru said sounding crestfallen and I tched.

"I'm sharing my privacy with you, I want your company." I said shooting him a smile.

His face flushed red and I chuckled pointing to my dressing screen.

"Go ahead and change, there should be towels over there as well." I said before turning my back to him.

I changed faster than he did and was in the hot relaxing my muscles as I heard his bare feet come closer to me.

I had my eyes closed but I raised my hand to give to him and he took it pulling him to me.

I opened my eyes to be met with his blushing face and I couldn't resist cuddling him closer to me.

"M-Michiko-chan!" He sputtered and I just laughed.

"No need to be embarrassed, I'm sure well have other bath times together." I said grabbing a washing cloth as I began washing his body.

It didn't take him long to relax and I smiled. I released him after I finished washing his hair and let him swim around my bathtub, but I knew he was tired.

I stood exiting the tub not caring if he had seen m naked body or not before wrapping a towel around me.

I brought back another giant fluffy towel after wringing out my hair.

"Time to get out little dove." I cooed and after a moment a red faced Subaru crawled out not meeting may gaze. I chuckled, he probably saw me naked…oh well.

I dried him off before handing him his sleep wear.

"Where did you get this?" He asked confused as he looked at the brand new piece of clothing.

I smiled and responded as I touched the expensive silk. His sleepwear had an embroidered dove with a white rose in its mouth. "Familiars are wonderful things. Always obedient and following orders even to the smallest detail."

"You sent them to get his for me?" He asked.

"Amount a few other clothes yes, I don't want my little dove walking around covered in dirt are looking like he just got out of a brawl with werewolves all the time." I said with a chuckle.

"Why do you care about me? Why do you protect me?" He asked. "I don't deserve your kindness."

I walked over to him. "Be very careful on what you think Subaru"

He looked up blinking since this is the first time I've said his name.

"I don't ever want to hear you say what you don't deserve especially from me. You deserve any and everything your heart desires. Do you think I give my time money my love so freely?"

He shook his head.

"I do not." I said my gaze hard.

"Do you think I would give it just to anyone?"

"No…" He whispered.

"I would not." I said sternly.

I sighed letting out a breath pulling him to me as I placed a kiss on his head. I tilted his face to make sure he was looking at me my face once more serious. "You yourself as much as anybody in the entire universe deserve love and affection, never forget that."

"You little dove really need to tell the negative committee that meets in your head to sit down and shut up…lest they get you in trouble with me." I said softly my eyes twinkling to lighten the mood.

He gave a small scowl. "There's not people meeting in my head!" Before flushing bright red and turning his back. "T-Thank you Michiko-chan…for everything…"

I squealed my cheeks going red. "You're welcome darling, never be afraid to come to me kay~ I will always be here for you, because I love my little dove."

At this point I could see his ears turning red.

Kay, he was so cute.

~~~...~~~

I awoke with the rise of the sun but remained unmoving least I wake the sleeping bundle of joy by my side.

It was nice and peaceful…for five seconds after all there was a second person in the house that arise with the sun just like me…

My door was opened and in walked my favorite blonde like he owned the place as he instantly moved to crawl into my bed.

"Michiko-chan-" He paused and I knew he had noticed Subaru curled up by my side.

I listened intently to see what his next move was if he thought I was still asleep.

I felt the bed shift, his body sliding across my mine to be closer to Subaru.

I cracked my eyes open to see what he would do.

Would he curse him, wake him up and tell him to leave my bed? Would he push him out of the bed, hurt him?

My little angel…was an angel…most of the time. But when he wasn't an angel…he was a damned devil.

I watched Shu stare at Subaru for a while seemingly contemplating something.

I watched as he slowly raised his hand to the sleeping Subaru it hover briefly over the younger head before he brought his hand over his face in a gentle manner, brushing his messy bangs from his face.

"Keh…you sorta look like me" He said softly with a smile and I couldn't help but agree. If I dyed Subaru's hair blonde he with resemble Shu quite a bit, despite them having different colored eyes.

I watched Subaru's reaction, the younger scooting towards the elder's touch and soft whine leaving his lips when Shu stopped.

"What a needy crybaby…"

I chuckled and Shu instantly looked at me to see that I was watching him. He flushed bright red at being caught. "Michiko-chan."

I cracked a smile. "Good Morning my precious Ririe."

He down looked at Subaru also to see if he had heard what I called him before looking back at me his cheeks darkening. "Good Moring Michiko-chan."

I slowly scooted away from Subaru before sliding from my bed.

"Michiko-chan let's go to the kitchens."

"Sure darling" I said after pulling out clothes for Subaru. I grabbed a robe sliding it on my arms as I padded after an energetic Shu towards the kitchen.

"Michiko-chan…" Shu said after eating a bowl of fruit.

"Hm…" I said as I nibbled on my own food.

"I have a secret to tell you." He said seriously.

"Oh yeah?" I said looking up at him.

He nodded before looking around making sure no one was around to hear.

I scooted closer to him. "Tell me…"

"You won't tell mother?" he asked hesitantly and I frowned wondering exactly what it was that he thought I would tell Beatrix once he told me.

"Not if you don't want me too, your secrets are always safe with me, you know that."

He looked around once more, his blue eyes as serious as I've ever since them sweeping the room before moving his lips towards my ear. "I snuck out last night."

"Oh?" I said softly "…and where did you go at such a time of night."

"To the human village…"

I blinked my eyes shocked. "And what did you do there?"

"I meet someone…" He said shyly.

I looked down at my plate before stabbing a strawberry. "Was it a girl?"

"No." He said sounding as offended as I felt at the mere thought of it.

My lip twitched and I decided that I no longer needed to torture the fruit. "I see, you've made a friend have you?"

"I...I don't know yet. I don't know if he will like me…he doesn't like nobles." Shu said sadly.

"Why not?" I asked although I had an idea.

"He thinks we are shallow and cruel."

We are…your little human friend is right. I thought but I wasn't going to tell my angel that. He looked like he really wanted to be this human boys friend, he wanted to human boy to be his friend.

"Ah I see, well I'm sure he will be your friend. You are one of a kind; he would only be a fool to not want your friendship."

Shu blushed. "You think so?"

"I know so. If you want to be his friend, keep trying. Show him that his perception of nobles is off. That not all noble are as he thinks they are."

He blinked. "You're not upset that I went to the village…that I'm talking to humans?"

"Not at all, in fact I'm glad that you are. Learning to integrate yourself with humans is the first step to being a great ruler..." I said honestly.

"Mother said leaving the grounds is forbidden, I've broken one of her rules…I'll be punished."

"Sometimes one has to break a few rules to grow…besides…you won't get in trouble as long as she doesn't know and I promise I won't tell…" I told him ruffling his blonde curls.

Shu's smile was contagious and I smiled back.

"Thank you!" He leaned over surprising me when his kissed my lips before running off.

"Keh, how bold…" I said to myself as I touch my lips. "What a little devil you have become."

Cause even though this was about my precious Subaru...ya'll should know by now that Shu is my baby and I felt like I haven't mentioned him in a while lol also the first hint to the Mukami brothers duh duh duh duh...

Now obviously Michiko will meet Edgar/Bear/Yuma through Shu that's a given...

I'm just having trouble figuring out how she will meet the others, I want it to be unique and different from what I've seen esp. in Azusa's case. I'm currently brainstorming ideas.

the next chapter will maybe be similar to this one, starting off with Laito and ending with perhaps an intro to a Mukami brother.

But its a maybe ... I have a feeling that Laito's chapter will make me an emotional mess as Michiko's gonna start getting hints and clues on what's really going on with the triplets and Cordelia.

I'm getting emotionally just thinking about writing it. \(TwT)/ *my poor Sakamaki babies!*
