Yuzu worked around the house while cleaning. She was still curious about the package but she let it slide. After a couple of hours Yuzu yawned then sat on the couch then shifted into her dog form. She curled up into a ball then fell asleep taking a small nap waiting for her Master. Meanwhile Mei was walking down the hallways and classrooms to see any students. Mei suddenly heard a few moans coming from the janitors closet. She rolled her eyes and walked up to the door then opened it seeing Kenia with some girl

"Hey! What the hell?!" Kenia exclaimed

"You know students should leave after school hours so get the fuck out of here" Mei said and walked away. Kenia pit her clothes on and followed Mei

"Hey wait up Aihara-san!" Kenia said. Mei sighed and glared at Kenia

"What do you want?" Mei asked. Kenia then grabbed Mei and pinned her against the wall

"I want you" Kenia whispered. Mei glared at her then pushed her away

"Leave me alone" Mei said. Kenia then grabbed Mei's wrist but Mei's right eye turned red then slapped Kenia hard across her face

"I said leave me alone" Mei growled then raised her hand as her palm glowed. Kenia suddenly couldn't breathe and she looked at Mei who's eyes were filled with death. Kenia clenched her fists tightly and thought it was the end for her

"President?! What are you doing?!" Himeko exclaimed and ran up to Mei grabbing her wrist. Mei looked at Himeko then her eye turned back to normal and walked away. Kenia coughed softly and took deep breathes.

"Um...MeiMei?" Himeko asked

"Yes?" Mei replied

"Are you feeling okay?" Himeko said

"Yes...I'm fine" Mei said and kept walking away. After checking the Academy Mei walked back to her place. She entered the mansion and could feel Yuzu's warmth all around the mansion. She saw a package and walked up to it then saw the letter. Her eyes widen and she clenched her fists tightly. She left the letter unopen then looked at the package. She reached up to it then opened it revealing a huge teddy bear. Yuzu woke up then sat up shaking her body. Yuzu barked excitedly and ran up to Mei standing on her back legs. She sat down and tilted her head. She shifted back to normal and saw the letter

"Aren't you going to open the letter?" Yuzu asked

"...no..." Mei said

"Why not? I mean...this guy Sho is your father right?" Yuzu asked. Mei just simply nodded as an answer

"You're worried he won't take care of the Academy once he gets back?" Yuzu asked and Mei just nodded.

"Masters and Slaves! Please come out! We have a wonderful show to present to all of you out there!" A man announced. Yuzu and Mei both walked out of the mansion and saw a slave in a cage. The man was holding a gun on his head

"Please! Please! Let me go! I know I lost but don't kill me!" The slave cried out. Yuzu recognized the man. It was Mr. Vailina

"M-mei...what are they doing?" Yuzu asked

"Since Masters duel with their slaves they get to bet. It seems that this one bet his slave's life which means the opponent gets to kill him..." Mei explained. Yuzu clenched her fists tightly and growled

"This is wrong" Yuzu said

"Yuzu...there is nothing you can do. This is the rules. During duels you can bet anything" Mei said

"But he doesn't deserve this! He didn't do anything wrong!" Yuzu growled and ran up to the man

"You can't do that! He didn't do anything wrong!" Yuzu growled

"Shut the fuck up bitch. You're just a slave and were born a slave" Mr. Vailina said. Mei ran up to Yuzu and held her collar

"Yuzu please..." Mei said

"No but...it's wrong..." Yuzu mumbled. Mei pulled on the collar hard forcing Yuzu to walk. Yuzu just sighed then walked away from the cage and the slave crying out for help.

"I'm sorry Yuzu...but there is nothing you can do" Mei said

"Can't you do anything about it?" Yuzu asked. Mei just shook her head. Yuzu wrapped her arms around Mei and whimpered

"I'm sorry Yuzu but...this is how it's suppose to be" Mei said. Yuzu looked at the man and growled

"I wish he was dead..." Yuzu growled

"We all do..." Mei said. The slave cried out begging on his knees and no one could do anything about it. The man with the gun placed his finger on the trigger and pulled it. Yuzu's ear pinned down hearing the gunshot. It reminded her the day her family was caught when they tried to escape wanting freedom

Flashback

"Hurry they're getting away!" The man shouted. Yongi and Ume both ran into the forest while holding their small child Yuzu

"You two run...I'll hold them off for a while" Yongi said and kissed Ume then kissed Yuzu's forehead

"Papa..." Yuzu mumbled

"Papa will be okay...I promise" Yongi said. Yongi's hair glowed and ran towards the hunters. Ume ran away holding Yuzu closely. Yuzu took a small glimpse at the fight and saw a huge dog attacking the hunters.

"Freeze!" The man said as he held out his gun. Ume stopped and stood there while holding Yuzu closely. Yuzu turned to look at the man and whimpered.

"Sir...we've captured the Okogi family. We're on our way back.." The man said

End Of Flashback

"Yuzu? Yuzu you okay? Wake up" Mei said. Yuzu groaned and looked around seeing she was in her room

"Wh-what happened?" Yuzu asked

"Well...after that gunshot you passed out. I carried you to your room then you started to whimper and cry a little in your nap. Did you have a nightmare or something?" Mei asked

"K-kinda...I guess...I was dreaming about my family" Yuzu said

"Oh..." Mei mumbled. Yuzu leaned against Mei and wrapped her arms around her then brought her to bed with her. Mei blushed and felt her heart skip a beat

"Yuzu...let go" Mei said but Yuzu was holding her tightly and closely. Mei blushed her face being so close to Yuzu's. Mei stroked Yuzu's blonde hair and couldn't help but smile when Yuzu's doggy ears twitched. Mei felt her heart beating louder that Yuzu could also hear it in the quiet room.

Why does she make me feel this way...wh-what is this feeling?

Meanwhile the Taniguchi were having dinner while Matsuri was in her room playing her video games. Harumin stood up from her seat then places her plate in the sink. Hojo looked at Harumin then sighed

"Harumi...there is something you need to know" He said

"What is it father?" Harumin asked

"Um...well today Mr. Vailina asked for a du-"

"You didn't accept did you?!" Harumin exclaimed

"Dear...let your father finish" Soha said

"S-sorry..." Harumin mumbled

"It's fine. I know you and that Mizusawa are very close friends but...she was the one who accepted the duel" Hojo said. Harumin's eyes widen and clenched her fists tightly

"Sh-she what?" Harumin asked trembling

"I tried to tell her to deny it but...she still accepted it" Hojo said

"When is she dueling?" Harumin asked

"Next week..." Hojo said. Harumin nodded and walked away heading upstairs. She was furious that she opened Matsuri's door then slammed it shut. She walked up to Matsuri's game console and turned it off

"Hey Taniguchi-senpai what's your probl-" Harumin pinned Matsuri down on the bed and glared at her

"Why didn't you tell me?" Harumin asked

"Tell you what?" Matsuri asked

"Don't act stupid...you know exactly what I'm talking about" Harumin said

"...o-okay...yeah I'm dueling..." Matsuri said

"With who?" Harumin asked

"Brono..." Matsuri said. Harumin teared up and her tears rolled down her cheeks.

"W-why did you a-accept?" Harumin asked

"Because the crazy man was talking crap. I couldn't let him talk like that about your family...especially you" Matsuri said. Harumin let out soft sobs and held Matsuri closely

"You idiot...I don't want to lose you" Harumin said

"You won't lose me. I didn't bet on anything...yet" Matsuri said

"Don't you dare bet on your life..." Harumin said

"I was...kinda going for that" Matsuri said

"Don't you dare bet on your life! Can't you see how worried I am about you! I love you so much! You mean everything to me! I want to be with you forever! I care about you Matsuri! It hurts my heart just the thought of losing you! I love you!" Harumin said as tears kept rolling down her cheeks. Matsuri's eyes widen when she heard those words. Matsuri never thought someone would care for her. Her whole life she thought she'd be stuck in a sex slave farm for her entire life. Matsuri's parents didn't even cared for her when she was young. Matsuri always had to be alone and fight alone but ever since the Taniguchi found her. Her life was changed by Harumin who was always there for her. Harumin kissed Matsuri passionately and Matsuri kissed her back wrapping her arms around Harumin's neck pulling her closer. After their small make out Harumin layed next to Matsuri holding her closely

"Please...don't do it..." Harumin whispered

"Taniguchi-senpai...I'm sorry...but I'm doing it" Matsuri said

"Can you promise me something?" Harumin asked

"Sure.." Matsuri said

"Promise me...that you won't bet on your life..." Harumin said

"I promise..." Matsuri said. Harumin smiled and held Matsuri closely. Matsuri pinned her ears down and wrapped her arms around Harumin

I'm sorry Taniguchi-senpai...but I can't promise that. I want Brono dead but I do promise...that I'll still live...for you. I love you too...
