CHAPTER 5The day began to break as Kurama and Teku are walking home. Kurama wishes his love happy birthday and she accepts it. As the sun rises, both the fox and the wolf return to their original form. The fox to his human form Shuuichi and the wolf to her space pirate form.
They return home, only to find a single little box on their doormat. Teku and Kurama stare down at it in suspicion and confusion. Teku speaks as she leans down to pick it up. "What is this?" She asks her fox love.
Kurama inspects it with his eyes. And yet he comes up clueless. "I don't know. Why don't we go inside and you can open it?"
Teku looks up at the red-haired boy beside her. Her face still carries a look of confusion. She gives a slight nod, the signal for Kurama to open the door.
The couple walks inside their apartment home and close the door. They both then walk up to the room they share. Neither brought anything with them so they didn't set anything down or put anything away.
"Why don't you open it Teku?" Kurama asks, standing behind his lover with his arms around her stomach.
"Alright." She didn't sound enthused, more curious. It was a small white box that rests in the wolf's hand. It had a single black ribbon around it, keeping the lid from popping off. A little card dangles from the end of the ribbon.
Before opening the little box, she looks at the card. On it is four simple words, just four. Teku reads these words aloud.
"Tanjoubi omedetou, my dear."
"That's sweet. But who else other than myself knows today is your birthday?" Kurama questions Teku.
"I…I don't know." Teku stares blankly at the little card. No one else other than Kurama knows. Well, the ones that is still alive.
Curiosity overwhelms Teku and cannot be contained any longer. She sets the little card down on her dresser and takes off the ribbon slowly and carefully so she won't tear it or rip it apart.
With the ribbon all taken off, she begins to take off the lid of the small box. What she sees sends her in a state of shock.
Kurama sees this and questions his love.
"What is it my little wolf?"
A small bead of water forms from one of Teku's lavender eyes and falls onto the item in the box. She cries silently.
What lies in the little white box is a small die earring. It's the same earring that she lost on the day of her father's death. Only one person was able to have this piece. Name…Ryuuji Otogi, the wolf demon Teku's…father.
