Yuzu woke up and blushed deeply seeing Mei asleep next to her. Yuzu stroked Mei's hair softly and leaned in kissing her neck softly making Mei moan a bit. Yuzu blushed deeply then giggled softly as she nuzzled Mei. Mei started to move slightly and kept sleeping. Yuzu's ears perked up as she heard a knock on the door. She quietly walked out of the room and walked downstairs to the door. She opened the door and saw a man

"Ah you must be a new slave right?" The man asked

"Um yeah I am and who are you?" Yuzu asked

"Sho Aihara. Nice to meet you" Sho said

"Oh nice to meet you too Mr. Aihara. I'm Yuzuko Okogi but I rather be called Yuzu" Yuzu said

"Don't be so formal with me you can just call me Sho" Sho said

"Okay Sho do you want anything to drink?" Yuzu asked

"Tea please and thanks" Sho said

"Your welcome Sho" Yuzu said and prepared his drink. Sho looked at the teddy bear that was left in the kitchen and saw the unopen letter

"She didn't read it...did she?" Sho asked

"I'm afraid not" Yuzu said and places his tea next to him

"Thanks" Sho said. Yuzu looked at him and remembered that he looked different in the picture frame she saw before

"Where's Mei?" Sho asked

"She's asleep..." Yuzu said

"Oh...okay" Sho said

"Why are you here?" Yuzu asked

"I came here to visit her for a bit because tomorrow afternoon I have to leave again" Sho said

"What do you do actually?" Yuzu asked

"Well I travel a lot. Explore new places" Sho said

"Hey...I know this is none of my business but...between you and Mei" Yuzu said

"Listen I actually realized I didn't want to inherit the Academy. Sure my father was truly upset but I realized there is much more out there. I asked Mei to run away with me but...she never answered my letters or read them. In the Aihara family we aren't so good with feelings. We don't usually talk about feelings...it's mostly about business and stuff. Except that my mother...she was great about talking feelings and emotions but the day she left...it all became dull and empty for the Aiharas" Sho said looking at his palm seeing his Aihara symbol

"Oh...I see" Yuzu said

"What about you Yuzu? Where did you come from?" Sho asked

"Oh well...actually my family we used to be free and run free but one day that ended when hunters came at our place. They hunted me and my family. After that we were taken away. I was with my family until now..." Yuzu said

"I'm sorry.." Sho said and petted Yuzu's head softly

"Pr-professor?" They heard Mei said. Mei was upstairs feeling shocked

"Mei I already told you. I'm not a teacher anymore. You can just call me dad" Sho said and walked upstairs to hug Mei but she turned to leave going to her room. Yuzu ran upstairs then grabbed Mei by her wrist

"Mei is really amazing. She's done an incredible job in the Student Council. She's also very smart and popular. She has been seriously been working so hard you can inherit the sch-"

"Stop it!" Mei interrupted Yuzu. Sho looked at them and sighed

"Mei...I won't be going back to that school" Sho said. Mei teared up and got out of Yuzu's grip and ran to her room

"Mei! Wait!" Yuzu said and walked towards Mei room then entered

"Mei I'm sorry I di-"

"It doesn't matter anymore..." Mei said

"Huh?" Yuzu asked

"That father I loved and admired was strict but moral sort of person. He put the school before his own happiness. I wanted to be just like him when I grew up but everything changed when...he divorced my mother...and that incident. When he left I decided to look after the school keeping it safe for his sake. I was willing to do everything for the school..." Mei said

"Mei! You didn't have to-"

"Well what else was I supposed to do?! I've spend so much time waiting for my father...now I have nothing to guide me" Mei said as she clenched her fists tightly. Yuzu whimpered and sat in the bed then crawled to Mei. Yuzu reached her hand out and Mei turned around with tears rolling down her cheeks. Yuzu's eyes widen and Mei moved closer to Yuzu and kissed her

"Mmmm!" Yuzu blushed deeply and Mei then pinned her down on the bed.

"M-mei wait...Mei...ngh~ M-mei~" Yuzu said as Mei slid her hand inside her shirt then leaned in licking her neck slowly

"Yuzu...you need me don't you?" Mei asked. Yuzu blushed deeply not knowing what to say

"You enjoy doing things with me don't you?" Mei asked. Yuzu stared deeply into her eyes blushing deeply

"Well? Say it Yuzu. You need me don't you?" Mei asked leaning closely to her.

"Mei..." Yuzu blushed and wrapped her arms around Mei hugging her

"You submit so easily..." Mei whispered and licked Yuzu's neck slowly

"I'm good at taking orders. Just tell me what you want because it doesn't matter what I do anymore. Of course I won't be gentle since it isn't your first time" Mei said. Yuzu glared at Mei then raised her hand then slapped her across her cheek.

"I don't want it like this! Do you even think about other people's feelings?! Do you even think about my feelings!?" Yuzu exclaimed. Mei placed her hand against her cheek then blood dripped from her cheek. Yuzu's eyes widen seeing blood. She looked at her hand then saw her werewolf claws were out

"M-mei...I'm sor-"

"Get out! Now!" Mei said looking up as her right eye turned red. Yuzu whimpered and ran out of her room. Mei let out a low growl and looked at the blood on her hand

You will be punished for this...if you made me bleed then I'll make you bleed as well...

Matsuri was outside meeting up with...Brono. Brono arrived and chuckled softly

"Why did you meet me here Mizusawa?" Brono asked

"About the duel..." Matsuri said

"Oh you refuse?" He asked

"No...let's turn that duel into a deathmatch" Matsuri said. Matsuri had a plan but that plan was very risky and the Taniguchi would probably...no definitely hate her for it. Brono's eyes widen and chuckled

"What? Do you think I'm stupid? I would never accept that" Brono said

"I'm not finished. If you win...you and your Master can sleep with any woman in the Taniguchi family" Matsuri said

"Wait...sleep with them? Hm? So I can sleep with Harumi if I win and my Master can sleep with the other two? Hmmm?" Brono thought for a moment

"Think about it. You can have Harumin if you win and what's better is that I won't be in your way anymore because you killed me" Matsuri said. Brono looked at Matsuri a bit surprised but a smirk appeared on his face. Matsuri crossed her fingers hoping for him to accept the challenge

"Deal so...if you get to choose the challenge then I'll get to choose when we'll duel" Brono said

"Fine..." Matsuri said

"Our deathmatch will be tomorrow night. Everyone and I mean everyone including every slave will come to the arena. You better be ready for tomorrow night Mizusawa...because you're dead meat..." Brono growled as his grey eyes glowed. Matsuri clenched her fists tightly and looked down

I need to win...

Matsuri walked back to the mansion. She sighed and walked inside the mansion. Matsuri walked upstairs then bumped into Harumin

"Where were you?" Harumin asked

"U-um...I just had to deal with something" Matsuri said walking away but Harumin grabbed her wrist

"Tell me..." Harumin said

"It's none of your business..." Matsuri said

"It is my business because I care about you. Now tell me...where were you? I sensed you were talking to someone. What were talking about?" Harumin asked

"U-uh well you see...I had to deal wi-"

"MIZUSAWA! COME HERE THIS INSTANT!" Hojo shouted angrily as he put the phone down. Matsuri didn't show any fear to the man and walked downstairs bravely

"Yes sir..." Matsuri said

"WHY THE HELL DID YOU TURN THE DUEL INTO A DEATHMATCH?! AND WORSE IS THAT YOU GOT MY WIFE AND DAUGHTERS IN THIS MESS!" Hojo said. Matsuri clenched her fists tightly and looked up at Hojo with no fear

"I was trying to lure him. If I told him he could have Harumi then he would definitely accept turning the duel into a deathmatch. I can kill him during the battle" Matsuri said. Harumin's eyes widen and she clenched her fists tightly

"M-matsuri...you broke...our pronise... " Harumin mumbled from upstairs. Matsuri looked up at Harumin then pinned her fox ears down while whimpering

"YOU LITTLE PIECE OF SHIT! YOU'RE SO FUCKIN STUPID!" Hojo said raising his hand and gave Matsuri a slap across her face hard. Matsuri fell and placed her hand on her stinging cheek. She held back her tears and stood up

"I'm doing this because I hate Brono! I want him dead! This is the only way that I can get rid of him and his Master! I know you hate that man as well! I was doing this to help everyone and defeat those two assholes!" Matsuri said. Hojo just glared at Matsuri and slapped her again hard.

"Stand up!" Hojo said. Matsuri trembled but clenched her fists tightly then stood up earning another slap from Hojo

"Get up!" Hojo said again. Soha growled and ran downstairs and stood in front of the poor girl

"Leave her alone Hojo!" Soha said

"Didn't you hear me? She fuckin got you and our daughters in danger!" Hojo said

"I know but she was trying to lure him into accepting it so she can kill him and end Mr. Vailina's dueling..." Soha said

"So you think a stupid fox can destroy or kill a ferocious wolf like him! She's just a kid!" Hojo said

"That's what you think! Matsuri is a strong girl! Matsuri can defeat him if you give her courage! That's the only way a Royal Blood slave can fight! You have to give her positive energy!" Soha said

"Honey I'm doing this because I care about you and our daughters! I don't want my beautiful wife and daughters to get hurt by some weirdos!" He said

"You should also care about Matsuri! She's part of the family as well!" Soha said

"She's just a slave!" Hojo said. Suddenly

Hojo felt a stinging pain on his cheek as Soha slapped him hard across his face

"She's not just a slave! To me she's like a daughter!" Soha said

"Are you crazy woman?! You want me to care about her like a daughter! No way! She was born a slave and always will be!" Hojo said

"Fine then! I'll just get the divorce papers and adoption papers! We can end our marriage right now and we can go our separate ways so I can adopt Matsuri as my daughter!" Soha said.

"What the hell?! Are you serious?! You can't adpot a slave!" Hojo exclaimed

"I am very serious! Like it or not I'm going to take care of Matsuri! She is going to become my daughter!" Soha said. Everyone's eyes widen while Mitsuko and Harumi were both upstairs watching the arguement. Matsuri was still on the floor rubbing her cheek softly. Soha turned around the helped Matsuri up. Soha kissed Matsuri's forehead softly and hugged her. Matsuri's eyes widen as her lips trembled. Tears slowly ran down her cheeks as she couldn't believe what happened

Sh-she wants to...a-adpot me..?
