In the morning, Kiri rolled out of bed in a daze and hit the floor with a surprised gasp. After his face made contact with the floor, he was wide awake and feeling a little embarrassed at him clumsy behavior. However, he lay frozen on the floor for a long while. It would take too much effort to get up anyways, and he wasn't all that uncomfortable either. Maybe he would just stay that way for a moment longer.

There was a quick knock at the door, and by then Kiri had nearly fallen asleep again. He groaned, which the person on the other side of the door assumed was an invitation to enter. The door swung open and Candy poked her head in, only to find Kiri laying face down on the floor. She stared at him for a moment, until Kiri rolled over and made eye contact with her. Suddenly, Candy burst into a fit of laughter. Kiri felt a feeling of indignation bubble up in his stomach, and he opened his mouth to retort.

"You're so funny, Kiri," Candy managed to say between fits of giggles.

Kiri closed his mouth, slightly appeased by the compliment. Or, at least, he hoped it was a compliment. He was glad he could make Candy laugh, so being funny was a good thing, right? Either way, he just pushed himself up and stood there for a moment until he felt himself gain his balance. Candy stood by the door as he sauntered over to her in a groggy daze.

"Are you tired?" Candy raised an eyebrow and stared at Kiri as he dragged his feet across the floor.

"Yes," Kiri replied simply, focusing on not tripping over his feet, since he did not feel like putting in enough effort to pick them up and walk properly.

Candy laughed and closed the door behind Kiri. She followed him down the hallway and into the living room they had been in last night. Kiri squinted his eyes as he was met with bright sunlight. Candy must have gotten up and opened all the curtains, because light filtered in from practically everywhere. The mysterious lights were not glowing for the moment, though Kiri could still see their fascinating colors in his memory.

"Is there breakfast?" Kiri mumbled and stretched his back, raising his arms high above his head and yawning.

"Of course, Your Highness," Candy rolled her eyes and teased him.

Kiri stuck out his tongue in a childish fashion and allowed Candy to take the lead. He followed her out of the living room and towards what he assumed was the kitchen. Sure enough, when they got there, a small buffet was already laid out for Kiri to choose from. His stomach growled loudly and he stared at the food with unrestricted desire. Candy watched his reaction and could not help but imagine a starved little wolf pup as she observed Kiri begin to eat.

"I'm glad you like it," Candy said softly.

Kiri swallowed a large mouthful and then turned to face Candy. She was standing off to the side, looking around the kitchen as if she felt bad staring at Kiri. Kiri crossed the distance between them in a couple quick strides and pulled Candy into a hug. Candy was surprised at first, but she quickly hugged Kiri back and buried her face in Kiri's chest.

"Thank you," Kiri mumbled to Candy.

"You're welcome."

Candy let go of Kiri and Kiri stepped back, keeping Candy at arm's length. He looked like he wanted to say something, but before he had the chance, there was a loud boom and Kiri heard what sounded like wood being splintered into millions of little pieces. Candy gasped and lost her balance as whatever had caused the noise shook the house. Kiri immediately began to look for his wand, which he found in the living room. Candy joined him with a strange looking device in her hands, and together they followed the feeling of wind blowing through the house when it should not be. They rounded the corner and found that the entire front of Candy's home had been smashed to pieces. Standing there in the middle of the carnage was a familiar figure. She held a staff in one hand a glowing orb in the other, and her eyes bored into Kiri and made him freeze in horror.

"Hello, Kiri," Odhu greeted him cordially, in a dangerously steady voice.

Candy stared at Odhu in confusion and nervousness, and then she turned to Kiri.

"Who is this?" Candy questioned Kiri urgently.

Kiri shook his head and stared at Odhu in disbelief. He couldn't believe she had found him again, and he was willing to bet she was planning on finishing what she had started. When Kiri did not answer Candy, but rather reached a hand to the back of the head where he had been injured recently, Candy began to put the pieces together. She placed herself in between the mystic and Kiri, and stood her ground, with the strange device pointed right at Odhu.

"Why did you destroy my house?" Candy demanded coldly.

"It had to be done," Odhu replied icily, looking past the short and rather harmless looking Candy and right into Kiri's eyes. He still had not moved.

"Go away," Candy held her aim and glared at Odhu.

Odhu laughed wildly for a moment, "I have something to finish first."

Candy stood her ground and challenged Odhu to try and get past her. Odhu shrugged, and made a step forward. But before Candy could do anything, a strange black pentagram appeared in front of Odhu and she vanished into thin air. Suddenly, she reappeared seconds later right next to Kiri and knocked him back with a blast of dark energy. Kiri stumbled backwards and fell over from the force. Odhu continued to advance, holding Candy back with a gravity orb that she conjured between the two of them.

"I'm sorry," Odhu whispered to Kiri, and then in a louder voice, "Good bye."
