Chapter one

A new partner

1

"Hey, where are you going? Where's Kuronue?" Yvette asked, as she looked at the silver-haired kitsune.

"He...died," Yoko explained, as he sat beside the raven-haired girl.

"How?" Yvette exclaimed, as she jumped up!

"He dropped his pendant, and went back to get it, then he got shot," Yoko explained, as he stared at Yvette. "Would you like to be my partner?" he asked, when Yvette sat back down.

"Sure, why not?" Yvette answered, solemnly.

"Then, let's go!" Yoko ordered, standing up, and leading the way.

"Where are we going?" Yvette asked, after 30 minutes of walking.

"To my den," Yoko answered.

"Did Kuronue live with you?" Yvette asked curiously.

"NO!" Yoko quickly answered, stealing a peak at the female kitsune.

"We're here," said Yoko, as he came to rest at a cave.

"You live here?" Yvette asked, while walking into the cave.

"Yes, you don't like it?" Yoko asked.

"I do," Yvette said, "Um, am I going to live with you?"

"...Yes," Yoko answered, as he stared at the girl, whom was about his age.

"She sure is pretty," Yoko smirked in his thoughts.

"Alright," Yvette said, breaking Yoko out of his thoughts, and going over, and lying down on a bed of leaves.

"That's my bed!" Yoko said, walking over to Yvette, whom had her eyes closed?

"To bad, get another one!" Yvette said, opening her eyes, only to come face to face with Yoko.

"Guess, I'll have to sleep with you, because I don't feel like going to make another bed," he said, lying down next to Yvette.

"WHAT?" Yvette exclaimed!

"Goodnight," Yoko said, ignoring Yvette, though his face was only inches away from hers.

"Grr!" Yvette growled rolling over on her other side, so that her back was now facing Yoko.

"...She's so peaceful, when she's asleep, and not as loud..." Yoko sighed to himself, as he stared at Yvette's back. As he stared at her back, he saw her shiver from the cold, so placed a blanket around her, but unknown to him, someone was watching them from the cave door.
