"Yoko, I..I thank you for taking me here, but..I need your trust. I must turn into my human form, and I need you to keep this secret. I really need you to do that..."
I knew exactly where she was coming from. I too, had a human form, and in order to return ourselves to Makai alive, we needed that trust.
"I can keep a secret if you can."
Her eyes filled with tears of happiness and relief.
"Thank you..you may live with me your days here, if you'd like."
"That would be nice, but I have some matter of my own to attend to. Perhaps we can arrange something.
She nodded as she walked into the dimming daylight, for the first time, revealing her human form to me. She was stunning. Her shoulder length blonde hair blowing in the wind..and her shimmering scarlet eyes reflecting the light. Absolutely beautiful...
"They call me Anim, now its your turn." She said slyly.
I gulped and remembered...I'm Suichi Minamino..
END PART 1
Yes, thats right.
An intermission.
Just because it create better suspense without angry reader throwing things at me.
We all win!
God bless intermission!
Alright, alright, here you go!
PART 2
As she stepped into the clearing, I had remembered mine own human identity, and my mother. Would this be wise? I advised myself against it..
"As much as I'd love to stay..I haven't got much time. Which way to Sarayashki? I can find my way from there."
"Right, continue straight until you hit the park, walk through there, exit left, and voila. You got all that?"
"I do, thank you. Until we meet again Sada."
Anim/Sada: And with a wink of his eye..he left. GREAT.
How was I supposed to trust the biggest theif of Makai with my human identity, when I had no leverage on him? And meet where! Ugh! This fox drives me up a wall..
I hurried home to my human family...they had been waiting.
"MOTHER! I'm home!"
I burst through the doors calling out to her.
I quickly silenced myself realizing it was 5:45...in the morning.
I could hear my parents groan and fall back to sleep. It amused me how well my pug, Daisy, could sleep through me yelling.
Some guard dog I have.
I ran upstairs and crawled into bed.
Tommorrow is another day..
