When I woke up, it was the usual day as well. Yukina left the same note, scratching out the part where she would pick up Shiro. "Guess Yukina isn't bringing you out today, Shiro." I looked down at the cat when I came back to the bedroom to change. Shiro purred, jumping back on the bed. I left Shiro some food and water as always and headed back to the flower garden.

"Onee-san!" Yukina was sitting on the grass where I normally sit on. She waved her hand at me.

"Yukina-chan?" I walked up to her and sat beside her. "I thought you were playing."

She shook her head. "Not today. I wanna hang out with Onee-san today!"

"Hmm, that's fine but I don't really do much but sleep..." Her loud cheery voice interrupted me.

"Wow! Is that real? It's pretty!" Yukina pointed to my shirt, the rose in particular. I decided to wear a shirt that had a pocket to hold the rose in.

"It's real." I blushed a bit, remembering the events that happened with Labrador. I took the rose out and handed it to Yukina to look at.

"Wahh! It sparkles!" She was amazed. I lied down on the grass and closed my eyes. "What else do you do here, Onee-san?"

I opened one eye. "Sleep."

"Okay let's sleep then! It's morning anyways." Yukina cheered. She held the rose close to her and closed her eyes and fell asleep faster than I did. I went on my side and pulled her close to me so that she wouldn't get cold.

I heard crying after awhile and it got louder. I opened my eyes and slowly sat up, trying not to wake up Yukina. I walked around the garden; the sounds grew louder towards the far corner of the garden. I saw a child curled up and holding their leg, crying in pain. "Oh no, that's not good." I ran up to the child, checking it out. It looked like he sprained his leg.

I kneeled and reached out to touch the child and he bit my hand hard, pinching into my skin. It started to bleed in seconds. "Ah!" I bit my lip hard to suppress the pain. "I'm just trying to help you!"

"...soul." A low voice echoed around me. I looked around to see if there was a person, and when I looked back at the child, he was standing perfectly fine. His purple eyes glared at me. I was taken aback.

"What? Did you just say that?" I looked at child. I felt like I was seeing things. Maybe it's the aroma of the flowers. He looked ready to attack me. Following my instinct to run away, I stood up with the help of my other hand and made my way to Yukina.

Not only did I hear "soul" and "I'll grant you anything you want", I heard cracking noises, like something was growing or opening out from something. I slowed my pace and looked back. The child had wings. The wings were nowhere near cute or fake and had a skeletal figure. I looked in front of me, eyes widened in fear, laughing awkwardly. I think I'm losing it.

"Yukina!" I shouted, running towards her. She's not too far, just a bit more, I thought to myself. "Ugh! It hurts!"

I felt something bite me again from behind. My shoulder was in pain and it was obvious on what happened. He caught up to me and is about to kill me. My vision started to get blurry.

"Yukina..." I saw her body from a distance, still sleeping. The rose was glowing and shining, and a small barrier was around her. I felt the sudden rush of heat run to my head and the cold chills right after. Then I saw nothing but pitch black.

I woke up and sat up. Everywhere was black. "Is there something you want?" A male voice said. "We'll get you anything you want Suzuna-chan."

"Anything." A woman voice added.

I looked around the pitch black scenery I was in. "I want to get out of here. That's what I want."

"Really?" The male voice asked. The woman laughed.

"You don't want to see us, your parents?" Two figures appeared in front of me. I got myself off the ground and stood up. They took their hoods off from the robe they were wearing.

"Who the hell are you?" I asked.

"My my, isn't that a bit too rude to your parents." The woman said. "Suzuna-chan, now that we met is there anything you want?"

"Don't be shy." The man said.

"I want to get out of this pitch black place. I want to see Yukina. I want you out of here. That's what I want and all I need." I glared at the two suspicious people.

They laughed. "Well if that's what you want Suzuna. It's great meeting you again, all grown up." The woman gave a suspicious smile and the two transformed into a skeletal figure and vanished in a second.

When I blinked I was in the garden again, Yukina just woke up. I ran to her. "Yukina-chan!" I shouted. When I went up to her she shattered into pieces. "Yukina...-chan?"

My head started to hurt and everywhere was black again. I felt something pushing me down, draining my energy.

Castor got out of his room and walked along the hall, he looked out from the rails to see if Suzuna was sleeping, which started to become a routine of the three bishops ever since the flower garden was her hotspot. "Yukina-chan?"

Labrador and Frau were behind him. "Morning." Frau yawned and looked down. Labrador did as well.

"There's a Kor." Labrador glared at what he witnessed and starting running to the garden. Castor and Frau quickly followed him, still trying to locate it.

"How do you know Labrador?" Frau asked. Normally he was the one who can sense their presence.

"The rose Yukina-chan is holding is glowing." He said. He tried looking for where Suzuna was while dashing down the stairs.

The three made it in the garden. Castor crouched near Yukina. "She's fast asleep. I'll take care of Yukina. You two go ahead."

Frau scanned through the garden. "If it's not on the ground then it's in the air." He looked up and saw Suzuna being held by a child. "Of course."

Labrador shot vines to hold the Kor still; Frau got the message and quickly finished it off with his scythe. "Good thing it wasn't a dangerous one."

Frau picked up the child and Suzuna. The child woke up in a few minutes. He handed Suzuna to Labrador so that he can deal with the child.

"She probably wished for getting out of the Kor, that's why it didn't switch hosts." Frau pointed at Suzuna, still unconscious. Labrador ignored his comment and brought Suzuna to his room. He got Castor in his room to erase Suzuna's memory, from the encounter of the Kor. He did everything he could possibly do with his power to get the bits of her soul back and heal the injuries she had.

"I really should've given you two roses." He placed a new silver rose in her hand when Castor left. He came close to Suzuna's face and quickly sat up straight on the chair he was in when Frau barged in with Yukina.

"Onee-san!" She ran to Suzuna and tears began to come down from her eyes. "Onee-san..."

Frau crouched down to hug Yukina from behind. "Don't worry, she's sleeping."

"Really?" She turned around and looked at Frau, sniffing.

"Yes." He wiped a tear off her face.

She smiled, fighting back the tears. "That's good then. You take care of Onee-san. Tell her Yukina will meet her at the garden later." She walked out of the room, wiping her tears.

"So how is she?" Frau asked, sitting on the edge of the bed. Labrador shook his head.

"Her soul is back but the Kor contract is still there," He opened Suzuna's robe and slid it down her shoulders a bit showing her bra. Frau gawked.

"She really did get bigger racks these few years-ack!" He looked at Labrador's face. "I get it."

He got rid of the Kor's mark. "Well, she should get up soon." He stood up from the bed and walked out of Labrador's room.

"Suzuna," Labrador said softly.

The pitch black I was in suddenly faded to more pitch black. It sounds weird to say, but it was the comfortable pitch black that I was used to. Like whenever I closed my eyes or fell asleep. It wasn't that eerie and suspicious one I was in earlier, with those two people claiming to be my parents. I wonder if it was true though.

I had a feeling someone was telling me to get up. I opened my eyes and squinted to see who it was. "Suzuna." The person moved away from my face.

"Labrador?" I got up and sat on the edge of the bed in front of him and looked around, I was in a bedroom where there were pots of flowers around. Some flowers that I've never even seen in the garden either. This was my first time in this room, I'm guessing it's Labrador's room. "Where's Yukina-chan?"

"She's playing outside." He said.

"Really? That's weird, I was sleeping with her, so what am I doing here?" I raised an eyebrow. I looked on the bed and saw the silver rose Yukina was holding earlier. I picked it up, flinching in pain and noticing my hand bandaged up. "When did this happen? Did she come here to drop the flower?"

I looked at Labrador, who wasn't responding. "What happened?"

"You don't remember?" He asked.

"No..." I said thinking back to what happened. "I remember sleeping with Yukina in the garden, having this weird dream about these people who claim to be my parents, and waking up now..."

"It's okay. Don't worry too much about it."Labrador said. He took my bandaged hand and kissed it. "Hope this will heal your hand faster."

My mind blanked when I felt his touch. "Where's the clothes I was wearing?"

"Suzuna I'm not going to answer any questions."

I took my hand out of his. "Then, why do you treat everyone the same? You keep leading me on and playing with my feelings. I'm pretty sure you know I like you because of Frau's big mouth." I was embarrassed and looked away.

"Really? I treat you different. Even when you first came in the area, and when you were playing around with Frau." He smiled at me.

"..." I was a bit speechless on how he knew the Frau stuff. "Why do you treat me different, then?" I still had my face away from him and stared at the wall.

"Because you've bloomed in my heart, Suzuna." I looked with the corner of my eye and saw a small blush appearing on Labrador's face. He was fidgeting with his hands when he said that.

I looked at him, my face still red. "As cute as it sounds, I don't get what you're trying to say."

"I love you, Suzuna." He said. He put his lips on mine before I even got to say anything. His hands held my waist and he put his weight on me, making me fall back on the bed. I jumped a bit when I came in contact with the bed. I felt him smiling through the kiss. "Do you understand now?" He parted his lips and spoke.

I nodded shyly. My eyes opened wider in realization. "Hey."

"What is it, Suzuna?" He looked down at me.

"I thought that if I kissed you it '...may lead to much more.' What happened to that?"

"That's if you kissed me. I kissed you, did I not Suzuna?"

"What would you do if I did then, Labrador?" I asked, pushing my curiosity. He took one of his arms off my waist and I watched it, seeing what he would do. He slid down my one side of my robe, showing my bandaged shoulder which I didn't notice until now. No wonder it hurt.

He squeezed my shoulder hard making me flinch, and let go, kissing my shoulder. "Who knows what I'll do, Suzuna. I can't see my future."

I gave a questioning look, I didn't quite understand what he meant by his last sentence. "Well, I wouldn't mind seeing what you'd do." I wrapped my arms around his neck and kissed him gently.

Labrador broke the kiss. "Don't say I didn't warn you, Suzuna." He kissed me again, each kiss getting rougher than the last.
