POV: Amelia

I paused , seeing the multiple faces in front of me.

What do these people want me to say ?

" I... um... well...i mean i don't know what you all want me to say.?" I stared at everyone meeting the eyes of Kurama who gave me a deadpanned stare.

"Amelia."

I turned toward Jariku who had leaned particularly close.

" Merry Christmas" he smiled once before leaning in and placing a kiss on my lips. My eyes shot open trying to register exactly what was going on. The sounds of Yukina gasping and Kuwabara talking excitedly brought me back to my sense. I immediately pulled back my face tinged in embarrassment.

"Well that answers that , shit." Yuskue started as he stared wide eyed at me, as he took a sip from his drink.

" well that does explain a lot." Shizuru smirked as she crossed her legs.

I stared at Jariku as he continued to smile at me .

" I guess your kiss really did stun the poor dear, didn't it?" Botan remarked leaning toward me.

" Hey Mia, are you okay?" Keiko placed a hand on my shoulder.I bowed my head my shoulders shaking.

" Hey are you alright-?" Jarikus voice began but i didn't let him finish.

I'm done!

A slap sounded and Jariku face was turned to the side his eyes wide in shock. The table went silent.

" I'm done with people taking advantage of me!" I yelled as tears began to well in the corner of my eyes. The entire table and store grew silent as everyone looked at me. I stormed out into the dark snowy night not knowing where the hell I was going.

POV: Kurama

I watched the entire scene unfold hiding my building irritation at the male who bothered Amelia. The entire table was silent as she ran out of the store. I sighed once to myself taking a sip from my tea, calculating how i would fix this.

"Well Jariku , it seems like she may not return the feelings." Shizuru stated

"That's not the point, one of us needs to go after her!" Keiko stood glancing at me and Yuskue.

" uh, yeah someone does...Kurama?" Yuskue mumbled under his breath toward me. Knowing full well I was already planning on it.

" I'll go." Responding to my cue , i slipped on my coat and made my way to the door. Walking outside i released another sigh and breathed in the cold night.

Oh Amelia

" Hey do you think I can tag along?"Jariku voice reached my ears . I tensed slightly before taking another deep breath as I looked at the male behind me .

" I'm sorry , but i don't think its the best time for you to do so." I glared at the man giving him the time to leave my sight before I say or worse do something to him.

He gave me an odd look , i could see the questions build in his small mind. " Well why ? You may need the help."

"Well , as what we both witnessed in side it didn't look like Amelia wanted to be around you at the moment-" He cut me off impatience seeping into his voice.

"And what makes you any different?" he questioned me " i noticed when the both of you were out here earlier she didn't see that pleased with you either friend."

" Though you arrived at a time where it was perceived as Amelia and I in a argument it was nothing more than a simple disagreement , nothing more , nothing less. Now i will take my leave and i bid you a good night." I refused to entertain his meaningless questions, my current goal was to find Amelia and comfort her as much as she would allow.

POV Amelia

Dam men ! screw them ..screw them all!

I stomped angrily toward the next bus stop as i replayed multiple events in my head. My training session with Yoko , my conversation with Shuichi and my now most recent embarrassing memory being kissed by a man i didn't fully know , in front of people i just started to get comfortable around!

" UGH!" i leaned my head back staring at the night sky. " Why me." I spoke to no one as i noticed the bus a few blocks down the road. " At least I can go home."

As I waited for the bus i plugged in my headphones to listen to music trying to block out the bad memories. Nodding my head and completely lost in the world of my music I didn't notice the large wet tentacle that wrapped around my ankle.

" what the?!" I looked down only to be pulled back ward with so much force i fell forward, my head knocking hard on the cement. The world around me became blurry as i felt myself being dragged away from the bus stop and down a alley. " Dammit." i mumbled. As i felt myself being dragged i noticed a squelching sound near my ears .

" This is it, its her isn't it?" A scratchy voice stated.

" I'm not sure, but lets make sure." A female voice responded and as if on cue i felt myself being lifted into the air.

" Put me down." I mumbled my head still throbbing from the fall. As i tried to regain my sense of self I began to feel a stinging pain in between my shoulder blades. I screamed in agony as the stinging pain turned into a burning sensation.

" Ah there we go! it is her! It is ! it Is!" the scratchy voice yelled excitedly. " Look at the tail and ears ! Oh we finally found her!"

" Stop torturing her you dimwit. The goal was to bring her back alive not dead." The female voice ordered and as soon as the pain started it stopped. And as I felt my body twitch from the after effect i tried to hold consciousness. As i slowly turned in the air i noticed the outline of a figure approaching. Leaning close to my face the last words I heard before blacking out gave me great fear. " We finally found you "
