"Yato! What are you doing?" Hiyori asked as she walked into the room Yukine and he have come to occupy. Yato was currently, and rather strangely, lying on the ceiling, while drawing on a notepad he had in his hand.

"Being bored." The god replied. Quickly, leapt down from the ceiling and landed on the floor. "What brings you?"

"Oh, I just had some books for Yukine, but it looks like he's not here. Kofuku told me that he went for a walk, when she let me in."

"Yea, he left about an hour ago or so. He'll probably be back soon."
"I see." The two sat in an awkward silence for a little while, neither knowing what to say. However, Hiyori soon brought up a topic for a conversation. "Hey, have you heard about the cult?"

"Cult?" Yato questioned, raising his eyebrow.

"Yea. I read about it in the news. There's this strange, underground cult that's been going around murdering people in terribly gruesome ways."

"That's…. disturbing. How do they know it's a cult?"

"Well, reports have shown that in all the murders, there have been messages saying things like, 'For Belus!' and 'All Hail Belus!'. They attribute their killings to god they have named Belus." As Hiyori spoke, Yato's face gradually became more serious and worried.

"This is troubling." he replied.

"W-Why?" Hiyori asked. Obviously it was troubling, because it was murder, but Hiyori could tell Yato thought it was troubling for other reasons as well.

"Don't you get it? If people believe in a God, then that God will be born! This Belus person is most likely very real by now."

"Oh… That IS troubling."

"Sadly, there's not much we can do. It's not like we can go and make the cult members stop believing in Belus. We'll just have to be cautious. I fear what a god, who is worshipped by killers, is capable of."


The first thing that made Yukine's senses scream 'Danger' were how comfortable the bedding was. His bed at Kofuku's place was not nearly as soft or soothing as they were here. As he felt the soft blankets and realised that he wasn't as Kofuku's place, he immediately shot up in bed. His mind was racing, trying grasp what had happened. However, the only thing that he could remember was drinking Belle's strange water and passing out.

'Belle! Oh god… she WAS a predator. Dammit. Dammit. Dammit!' Yukine started freaking out. He couldn't believe he had let himself be kidnapped but some random stranger. However, he was relieved when he realized that now that Belle was out of sight, she must've forgotten about Yukine completely.

'Well, now all I have to do is leave and pretend nothing happened.' Yukine thought to himself. Now sitting up in the bed, Yukine could clearly see the room he was in. He was lying in a king sized bed that was tucking away in the corner of the room. Next to the bed was a nightstand and at the foot of the bed was a trunk, most likely for blankets for clothes. Besides those three pieces of furniture, the room was completely empty. Yukine quickly swept the four rooms, searching for a door, but never found one. Plus, to make matter worse, the room had no windows, the only source of light being a lamp atop of the nightstand.

'H-How am I in a room that has no doors or windows? T-T-That's like physically impossible! Unless the room was built around me… but that seems unlikely...' Yukine slipped out of the bed to search for an exist, but when he did so, he realized something. He wasn't wearing any clothes, other than a pair of boxers. The near thought of Belle stripping him down while he was asleep was enough to make him cringe. There was no telling what that lady had done to him in his sleep. Now, instead of searching for an exist, Yukine went in search of clothes. He soon found them, in the trunk at the foot of the bed. However, the attire wasn't something Yukine was expecting. Inside, he found a suit, nicely folded for him in a pile. On top of it was a note that read 'Please put it all on. Don't forget the jacket! ;D'

The winky face made a shiver run down his spine, but he subconsciously obeyed the note. Yukine slipped on the pants quickly and buttoned up the red undershirt given to him. Then, after putting on the jacket, he resumed his search for an exit.

"What the crap…" Yukine said to himself. "There's no exit!" However, as luck would have it, as he said this he kicked at a rug that that was lying on the floor. It had been pushed enough out of it's position to reveal a trap door underneath it. "Oh…" Quickly, he moved the rug away and flung open the door. It opened to a small staircase that lead to another door, however this one was a normal door. Quickly he descended the staircase and opened the door. It opened into a long hallway that had lavish carpeting and an expensive looking paint job. The edges of the hallway glittered gold and complemented the red carpet nicely. Yukine looked both ways, trying to decide on a direction to run, but in the end couldn't decide logically. So, he turned left out of the doorway, and took off down the hallway. Too bad for him, he should have chosen right. As he came up on a turn he started to hear voices. Normally he wouldn't care about them, due to mortals not being able to see or hear him, but when he heard what they were talking about, he froze.

"How is he doing?" Belle's voice.

"Yukine? He's doing fine, Madam. Last I checked he was still asleep." A male's voice. One Yukine didn't recognize.

"Well, he should be waking up soon, so please prepare him some food. He should be hungry."

"Yes ma'am."

'What's going on?! Belle should have forgotten all about me! This is bad!' Yukine heard footsteps coming his way, and at a quickened pace. He was about to turn around a take off, but realised that he wouldn't make it in time. He started searching for a door so he could hide in, but none were near him. He started panicking, trying to find a place to hide, but it was too late, Belle and a man, rounded the corner and spotted him.

"Oh! Yukine!" Belle said, delight filling her voice. "I'm so glad you're finally awake!" Belle started to close in on Yukine, as if to give him a hug, but Yukine slowly backed away.

"S-Stay away!" He shouted. 'This isn't good….' As Yukine continued the back away, he noticed that Belle was dressing differently from before. She was no longer wearing her 'street clothes' of a skirt and tank top, but instead was wearing a long, luxurious dress. It was scarlet red and had lots of sequins on it. The man standing behind her was wearing a suit identical to the one Yukine was wearing, complete with the same red undershirt.

"Ah… Yukine. You don't have to be scared of me." Belle said with a smile.

"W-What are you?! Are you a god? A Regalia? How can you see and remember me?!" Yukine was baffled by the situation he was in. The whole time he was with Belle, he thought he was safe, because she was mortal, but that didn't seem like the case anymore.

"Come, Renka!" Belle shouted. With a small flash of light, the man beside her turned into a shield in her hands. "Does that answer your question?" Belle said, her smile never wavering. "Revert, James." With another flash, the man, James, returned to normal. Yukine continued to slowly back away as Belle drew ever closer.

"W-What do you want with me?" Yukine asked.

"I want what any God want's with a Regalia. For you to be my servant." This startled Yukine a little, causing him to trip and fall backwards onto his rear. Belle seized this chance and, with breakneck speed, was crouching down next to Yukine grasping his arm.

"I-I…" Yukine couldn't get out the words to describe how he felt about the situation, but before he could even get in a few words, Belle went on.

"I already have James here, but he's only a shield. While I can protect myself with him, I can't really fight anything. That's when I found you."

"B-But… I already have a master!"

"That doesn't make a difference to me." Now, for the first time since the conversation started, Belle's smile dropped. "I'm sorry if you don't like it, but a God has to do, what a God has to do." Belle released Yukine's arm and stood, about to begin naming him.

"Wait! Please don-" However, Belle cut him off.

"With this name and it's alternative, I use my life to make thee a Regalia! Thou art Meseme! As Regalia, Remensi! Come, Remenka!" Against his will, a new tattoo was placed upon Yukine's arm and he transformed into his dual sword form, and appeared in Belle's hands. "Don't worry, I'll still call you Yukine. I find it slightly cruel to take even your name away from you. Revert, Yukine!" Yukine returned to his normal form, down on his knees tears rolling down his face.

"H-How could you…." He said.

"Oh, poor child." Belle said, kneeling down to him and embracing him in a hug. "It's okay. Mommy's got you." She whispered into his ear. They sat there for awhile, as Yukine processed what had just happened. He was forcibly turned into a stray and now had to answer to Belle. And what about Yato? What would happen with his connection to Yato? "Hey, honey, I know it's hard, but you've got to lighten up. Things aren't so bad with me. I promise you, I'm tons of fun! right James?"

"Yes, Ma'am." James replied, in an emotionless voice.

"I don't think that helped James…" Belle said, looking at the still crying Yukine. "Shhhhh. It's okay Yukine. It's okay. Shhhhh." Belle cooed into his ear. "I'm here for you… I'll always be here for you…"
