"That… isn't good…." Julius said quietly. I still couldn't look at them. Ace's grasp on me tightened. Was he upset?

"So… it was my fault you passed out…?" He asked.

"N-no!" I yelled, looking at his face. He was frowning at me. "A-Ace-kun…?" I mumbled. He abruptly put me down and turned to leave. "ACE! Wait!" he paused.

"Obviously I made a mistake making you my squire…" He grumbled before leaving the park. Was he angry at me? I began to cry. I fell to my knees and wept.

"Neko-chan…?" Julius asked, stepping closer to me. All I could do was cry.

"Hey, Kitten…?" Gowland also stepped closer and put his hand on my shoulder.

"Don't touch me!" I growled, stepping away from him. "You double crosser. You broke your promise and told them. Now look what you have done." I hissed between my tears. He was frowning. I looked at Julius who looked surprised. I turned and ran. I left the park and kept running. I wasn't looking for Ace, I wasn't looking for anything. I accidentally tripped while my eyes were full of tears and decided to stay down. I hugged my knees close to my chest and sobbed.

~x~x~x~

I heard a voice but still didn't move from my place. Maybe I would be lucky enough to have the person kill me. I sighed as more tears fell from my face.

"-tschalk said I couldn't keep you guys." Said the voice. It was male and very sweet sounding. This person wouldn't kill me. "Because you kept making a mess, but your wounds are healed so maybe you can live happily here in the forest." I could hear him chuckling. Suddenly he walked into my small clearing and he saw me. I looked at him behind tear filled eyes. My ears were pinned back as I looked at the tall man. He was wearing a long black jacket. His hair was short and dark blue. His eyes were yellow and full of kindness. He looked at me and blinked blankly. I wiped the tears from my eyes.

"H-hello…" I mumbled. My ears perked up as I stopped crying. He could only stare at me. I started feeling very uncomfortable and avoided eye contact. My ears pinned back again.

"Aww. Kitty, don't be sad." He said, darting over to hug me. I blinked in surprise. He pulled away to look at me in the face. "My name is Gray Ringmarc. Would you like to come home with me?" He asked. I paused and looked at him. I slowly nodded and he smiled a sweet smile. He picked me up and carried me.

"Nyaah!" I yelled. Then I found his arms slightly comfortable, safe. I sighed as I cuddled up to his chest, closing my eyes I fell asleep.

~x~x~x~

"Gray…" I heard a familiar voice grumble. "Gray, what are you taking home now?"

"N-nothing! I swear, Julius!" Gray yelled as I felt him speed up. My eyes were barely open now. I saw as he walked up the stairs and came to a door with a green clover painted on it. He smiled and opened the door. "Welcome to Clover…" He mumbled in my ear. I could feel him smiling. He quickly dashed into the room it reviled and slammed the door shut. He was about to leave the room when a different yet familiar voice spoke up.

"Gray. What did you bring home this time? If it's another animal-"

"Why does everybody think I'm bringing home an animal?!" He snapped. I felt his grip tighten on me, yet he still did not turn so I could see the speaker.

"Because you always bring an animal. I can hear your thoughts Gray. You're hoping you wouldn't get caught with this one." Hear his thoughts?

"N-Nightmare-sama?" I spoke up. Gray suddenly looked at me.

"You know Lord Nightmare Gottschalk?!" he asked.

"Neko-chan?!" I heard the incubus yell.

"Your name is Neko-chan?"

"Gray. What are you doing with Neko-chan?!" Gray then turned to look at the incubus.

"I found her crying in the woods! She was so cute~" he cooed.

"She doesn't belong here." Nightmare growled.

"But-"

"Nightmare. I thought I saw Gray come-" Julius began to say. He paused when he saw me. "Neko-chan?! GRAY! What have you done?!" Everything had become so chaotic. Everybody seemed angry so I struggled out of Gray's arms and made a run for it.

"Noooo!" Nightmare yelled as I disappeared from view.

"Damnit Gray!" Julius roared. I continued to run even after I couldn't hear them anymore. There were so many people here it was confusing. I found a pair of large double doors and pushed them open and ran out. I had no idea where I was but I felt I needed to get away. I continued to run until I found myself in a forest surrounded by trees with confusing signs and doors. I whimpered as tears began to swell in my eyes. I was lost and had no idea where I was.

"Come here…. Open me." Said a door.

"No. Open me!" Cried another. The doors had suddenly started talking to me. I had no idea what to do. It scared me so much.

"Open the door…" The doors mumbled around me.

"Hello kitten!" called a voice. My ear twitched as I looked up at the source. A man dressed as a jester stood before me. "This land belongs to the circus. What are you doing trespassing?" He asked.

"I-I didn't know. I'm sorry." I mumbled, standing so I could leave.

"Well I never said you had to leave. I just wanted to know why you were here. My name is Joker. Are you lost?" I simply nodded. "Hm. Why don't you come and visit my circus?" He asked. "Come on. It will be fun." He smiled. I sighed and allowed myself to be lead to the large colorful circus tent where I watched an amazing show that was created by my new friend.

So, she made it to the circus. Ha ha! Poor her but still.
