Nana's eyes shot open. She looked around the room. The sun was shining through the window. She tried to shift only to feel restrained. She blushed when she saw the position that she and Husky were in. His arms were wrapped around her torso, their legs were interwoven. She struggled out of his grip, she sat up, without something to hold on to he frowned and wrapped his arms around her waist and lay his head on her lap. Nana blushed again, he looked like a child. She brushed her fingers through his silver hair.

"Who are you Husky?" His blue eyes fluttered open.

"Nhh?" He muttered. His eyes were hazed with sleep.

"Five more minutes Meho." He muttered flopped back on her lap. Nana chuckled.

"Only five Husky?"

"Yeah, I don't feel that sick today." He murmured, "And don't call me Husky, you know I hate that." Nana blinked, did that mean that Husky wasn't his name? Or was it that he hated his name? She chuckled lightly; she wanted to shake him awake but at the same time she wanted to stay like this forever. His eyes opened again but they looked clearer this time.

"Nana?"

"Yeah?" The information took a second to process before jolting away in panic, half dazed with sleep.

"Wha-wha-what?"

"Don't you remember, you asked me to sleep next o you because you were afraid or something." This information also took a moment to process.

"Oh yeah."

"Husky, why are you afraid to sleep alone?" He shifted his gaze to the wall.

"Husky." Nana insisted.

"I swear if you tell the others….."

"I won't, I promise!" She told him.

"The first night I had ever slept alone, was the night I became a plus anima."

"Wha-?" At that moment Artemis burst in

"Husky! Nana! Time to get up; you're going to be late Husky!" She scolded. Horror washed over his face.

"Crap! I forgot about work!" Forgetting there were women in the room he began changing into day clothes. Artemis covered Nana's eyes and led her out of the room.

"Men are stupid." She scoffed. And walked off so Nana could cook breakfast.

'The night he became a plus anima.'

Before she knew it noon had rolled around. Artemis popped in the kitchen as Nana started lunch.

"Nana, let's go out to eat. There's this restaurant whose workers are all incredibly hot!" Nana couldn't believe that this woman was a mother. Nana walked with Artemis to local tavern called Angel haven. Nana winced. They quickly seated by a handsome boy who flirted with them. Awhile ago she would have squealed but now…..

"I'm back." Husky walked in. A couple of the workers smirked. He walked into the kitchen door and a crash sounded. There was quite a struggle from the kitchen, the girls and boys began snicker knowingly, and the customers gave each other baffled looks. Then with a series of shouts in a foreign langue, out came Husky in the girl's uniform; a puffy knee-length blue dress, a frilly apron, high sock and may-janes. Much to Nana's surprise, he didn't yell, or make a fuss. He blushed with embarrassed fury and looked down. Nana had to admit, Husky was always looking beautiful whether he was dressed as a man or a woman.

Husky started to push against the door behind him. Eventually shoving it in and going behind the door. He came out several arguments later dressed in the male uniform; he calmly walked over to a pair of girls who immediately gushed in both sympathy and at his regal air. Eventually he loosened up and started chatting with them. Nana's meal came and went with little notice. When she left with Artemis she looked at Husky who was chatting with another group of girls, their faces were full of their desire for him.

The day's event kept replaying themselves in Nana' head, she set dinner on fire and nearly her clothes. Husky wouldn't talk to her or even look her in the eye. After dinner she took her bath and her brain was muddled in thought. She walked into the bedroom quietly and froze at the sight; it looked like Husky was praying.

"Please spirits of the moon and stars; protect those I care for. Protect my mother, Meho, and yes, Father. Protect Duchess and Joseno in Asta. Protect Natasha in the sea. And please protect my new friends Senri, Nana, and Cooro and Jenna as well." He was praying and who were all those people?

"Husky……" He jolted.

"Uh, Nana, I was uh, uh-"

"Don't worry about it Husky; you take your bath."

"Uh, thanks." He came back and Nana was brushing her long hair. Nana blushed when she saw him come back in, in three years Husky had grown more masculine, and she only saw it truly when he was wet. His white shirt that he wore to bed stuck to his flat water dynamic chest. His silvery hair dripped and stuck to his porcelain face showing off the shape. She wondered if her teenage hormones were kicking in, she couldn't stop staring. Then felt ashamed because she was acting like those girls at the tavern, interested only in his face.

"Hey Husky."

"Hmm?" He asked as he towel dried his hair.

"Who were those people you were talking about?" He didn't say anything, but she missed the sad look on his face.

"Who's Natasha?" She had strategically chosen a name, she assumed that Meho was a friend to his parents or one or his closer "sisters", Duchess and Joseno sounded like they were a married couple, so there was Natasha when her jealousy kicked in. Her thoughts were confirmed when his face grew flustered and red at the mention of Natasha.

"Uh, look, Nana, I've traveling from place to place since I was seven. Except for my parents I met all those people during my travels, people I got attached to, but had to leave behind for different reasons."

"I see."

"That's part of the reason I act towards people the way I do. I'm afraid of getting too attached and having to separate from the person. I hadn't stayed with a person for more than a few months before I met you guys since my parents. My time with Duchess was wonderful but it was only six months and even Natasha was few months too." Nana did something she would normally never do; she hugged him, she hugged him so close.

"I always thought you were cranky for no reason, I know different now." She hugged him so close and to her surprise he hugged her back.

"Nana, we'll stay together right? You won't leave right? I think I've become too attached."

"I won't leave you behind."

"I think that you're more important to me than the others were." Nana blushed in a flash she found she and Husky face-to-face. He looked down bashfully and tilted her face up to his, he slowly moved closer and closer until she feel his sweet breath gracing her lips, his blue eyes were clouded over with something Nana couldn't describe; but she was sure her eyes were the same.

"Husky?" his eyes cleared at stared up at her.

"Uh, sorry." He slid away and pulled the blanket over his head and curled up in a ball. Nana sat contemplating his words and actions for a long time. Eventually she saw him quivering in his sleep. She decided to throw away any sense she had and lay down next t him His presence helped her fall asleep fast. Although her sleep was plagued with dreams.

A child was sitting in a marvelous room of white marble; there were flowers and plants adorning the wall. The child was sitting on a stone bench with an eager and innocent face.Nana jaw dropped at the sight, the child was Husky, when he was young, dressed in fine silver and blue clothing. He shifted his gaze from side to side; there were no markings on his neck

Husky dressed in fine clothes curled up in a crate in a city alley crying his eyes out, no not crying whimpering. His clothes were covered in grime and filth.

Husky was sitting in the lap of a girl dressed in city dweller clothing, the girl was very beautiful, violate eyes and black hair. There a purple stone on her brow and silver dots tattooed under her eyes.She stroked his hair as he leaned onto her

Husky was carrying a tray and holding it flat against his flat stomach, his silver hair was somewhat longer and clipped out of his face. Husky was dressed like a servant. He was standing next to Jenna who had her plus anima out, and another girl who Nana didn't recognize. She had scruffy brown hairand wolf ears and tail, with claws and sharp teeth. The girl were also dressed like maid, the older girl was at least fourteen.

Husky was running down the city streets, his eyes wide and wild. On top of that he was still dressed as a servant.

Husky was drifting in the ocean (Or at least it seemed that way)his plus anima was out and he was gently swishing his tail. There was a sound similar to a giggle and a girl came up to face him, she was also a fish plus anima her long chestnut colored hair was splayed like a fan, her eyes were silver. She was wearing a top made from seaweed and shells. She made some fast paced gestures and Husky smiled.

Husky dressed like a gypsy girl sitting in a chair, his hair was almost shoulder length and looked extremely pretty. Although he also somehow wrong like a beautiful doll in a dress of rags. His eyes were serious and focused downward. A man dressed somewhat like a clown leered over him dangling a pendant in his range of sight. He sat completely still as if he were in a trance. The man dressed like a clown grabbed his chin and forced the boy in drag to look at him. Husky finally lost patience and made a couple of fast paced gestures with a glare.

Nana's eyes shot open. She sat up and looked around. Husky was gone. Artemis poked her head in and told her it was time to wake up.
