[Disclaimer] As uch as I wish I did, I don't own this.

With a soft groan, Kaito opened his eyes, he was lying in a soft silken bed. The only wound that he bore was a gash on his shoulder. And that one was bandaged completely. He wondered who had caught him. The door opened, but Kaito was too tired to even move.
"Oh, good, you're awake." A young lady gently placed a bowl of soup on the table nearby. Kaito could glanced at it and it smelled good.

"My name is Lily. The young master saw you falling and managed to catch you before you hit the ground. You got lucky." Kaito nodded, she gently helped him to sit up and handed the bowl of soup to him.

"It's a simple potato broth with a little chicken and a few noodles. I made it light because you had just woken up. I hope I seasoned it correctly..."

"It's good..." Kaito had started eating the soup. The potatoes were soft and easy to chew, the chicken came apart in his mouth and the seasonings were perfect.

"Thank you..." Lily giggled and hurried out of the room. As soon as he was done eating, Kaito rolled over and drifted off into another few hours of dreamless sleep.

When Kaito woke up, it was dark outside. He took a guess and decided on about 9:00 pm. His stomach growled and he wondered if he could find the kitchen. A faint scent of food drifted down the hall, and Kaito slid out of his room, quickly and quietly following it. The hallways were dark and very quiet. He passed a few guards, but they just let him pass. All of them had seen the young Master carry him in, so they knew that he was a guest.

The dining room was not quite as dark; candles lined the walls and a maid bustled about, wiping the large dining table clean. As he got closer, Kaito recognized Lily. She turned to him and tilted her head, but giggled when he told her that he was hungry.

"I have some meat in the back. I can cook it for you if you want..." Kaito just nodded, too hungry to actually speak without having his stomach come out through his mouth, and go find something to eat. She disappeared through the double doors that connected the kitchen to the dining room.

Kaito sat down in one of the cushy chairs that were by the fire. Lily came out of the kitchen with a small platter of sandwiches and a glass of wine. She set it down on the table and quickly set to work bringing the fire in the fireplace back to life. As soon as it was lit, she went back to her work; while Katio quietly enjoyed the meal.
Gakupo was worried, he had seen Kaito falling and had managed to catch him just before he hit the ground, though a branch did cut a deep gash into the poor child's shoulder. Now, Gakupo was in his room, writing a letter to his sister; Mew. She was a forbidden child, and had been banished from the family. Their father was a Vampire, but their mothers had been different. His was a Werewolf, but hers was a witch. As soon as she was born, his father's affair had been discovered because she looked just like him.
Silently, the door opened. Lily walked into the room and she was smiling; like she knew something that he didn't, and she was going to blackmail him.
"W-w-why are you smiling like that?" At that question, Lily smiled wider.
"Smiling? I didn't realize that I was smiling. No reason, except for the fact that our guest is awake and in the dining room." A look of confusion crept across Gakupo's face. He didn't quite understand at what she was hinting at.

"*sigh* Idiot. Kaito's awake." Gakupo's face lit up and he moved across the room, passed by Lily and slipped down the hall.

Kaito had fallen asleep in the chair, Gakupo stood above him and sighed softly, shaking his head. Gently, Gakupo picked Kaito up, bridal style, in his arms. He turned around and moved down the hallway towards Kaito's room.

Kaito felt like he was on an ocean, bobbing up and down. His eyes flicked open and he realized that he was being carried. As the blurriness dissolved from in front of his eyes, he realized with sudden fury that Gakupo was carrying him. Memories flashed in front of his eyes and he hissed.

"Let go of me!" Kaito struggled, and Gakupo glanced down.

"All right. Just be careful, your wound still hasn't healed completely." Carefully, Gakupo placed Kaito on the floor and continued down the hallway.

"Aren't you coming? Your room is this way." Kaito's eyes narrowed. He didn't trust this man.

"Why should I?" Kaito's voice is dripping with venom and ice. Gakupo turns around, says nothing, scoops him up and hurries down the hallway, ignoring Kaito's curses.

When Kaito again opens his eyes, he realizes that he is in his bed. His clothes haven't been touched. Lily walks in the door,
"How are you feeling?" Kaito just grumbles in response. She giggles,

" The bath is just through that door. Feel free to use it. I'll place clothes in the bathing room for you." Kaito just nods. He gets up; feeling his shoulder shriek in protest as he moves across the room.

The bathing rooms were huge. Several pools were gouged out of the rock and now they are filled with steaming water. Kaito strips and slides into the water, sighing in relief. It feels nice and his shoulder doesn't hurt as much anymore. Lily hands him shampoo and some soap before placing his clothes by the pool and leaving the room. Kaito just relaxes. Maybe Gakupo wasn't as bad as he seems. Kaito shakes his head, how could he think that? Gakupo killed his parents. He would never ever forgive him.
