Chapter 7

Erase, Enter and Exit

Gakupo's been going crazy lately. He's been pacing a lot and he barely even notices when I talk. But when he does notice he always manages to get some points out of me…and then he loses them. Since Ren visited me, Gakupo lost 40 points and received 45 so really he's got 5 more then he had a few days ago.

As for Haku, I never did get to talk to her. When ever I tried, she wasn't in her room. I've been trying to find her for days. It was only yesterday that Sora told me that Haku and Teto left to go on a trip to an Elf town near by. They wanted to get something a little more towards a Mythical creature's culture…what ever that means. Anyways, Haku and Teto had come back last night. I had been asleep with Gakupo in his room when she came home. I've been taking a lot of cat naps lately…I'm such a cat. I feel like all that talk about having genes mixed with cats that Miku was talking about, wasn't complete and total crap.

Haku told me that the Half Breeds are coming today so Gakupo insisted I dress up…but I really don't give a damn what he says so I put one something completely inappropriate. I just want to see if he'll blow his top and I can snag more points form his score. At this point, I don't need to get him all excited at getting closer to 1000 points.

"Look!" Piko shrieked jumping up and down by one of the windows. Kaito had insisted we close the club for today so basically we were sitting on the couches closest to the door trying not to die of boredom. "There here!" I rose form where I sat with Gakupo's arm around my shoulders. Everyone looked at me. "Come see!" Piko insisted.

I walked over to the window. Outside, a limo sat in the driveway. I pushed away then looked at everyone. "What do you think they'll say?"

"It's hard to say." Kaito answered with a thoughtful look on his face. "I've know Yuma and Mizki for centuries but there just as unpredictable as…something unpredictable."

I rolled my eyes. "You idiot."

The door opened and in walked 8 people wearing hats and casual close. They looked as gorgeous as a dainty little doll. I couldn't find a flaw on them. Will I grow to be that pretty when I turn 20…it's hard to say what I'll be when I get there but what I know is that I won't be hanging around with these people when I get there.

"Kaito, a pleasure as always." A really pretty black haired woman said. She was obviously that Mizki chick. She looked older then everyone else in the group but not over 30.

"Mizki, my dear." Kaito took her hand gently and kissed it. Mizki blushed a little.

"Don't you go trying to steal my wife again Kaito." A tall guy with pink hair said pulling Mizki into his arms. This man, I figured, was Yuma and he was questionably older then all the other guys.

"Oh please, that's long been erased my good friend." Kaito looked at Miku and took her hand. "I believe I've been thinking of settling down. Doing that family thing you keep insisting is important." Kaito chuckled then gave Yuma his big, fang filled smile. "Please make yourself at home." Kaito gestured for them to sit down on the couches.

"Very well" Mizki said removing her hat revealing her black cat ears. Her black tail with white on the end shot out of a small, totally not noticeable, slit in her skirt. Everyone else removed there hats and let there tails come out. I felt sort of like the odd ball since I didn't have my tail or my ears yet.

"Mizki!" Piko hugged her.

"Why hello Piko, how are you doing?" Mizki asked with a warm smile on her face.

"I'm doing great!" Piko smiled.

"Now where is this Gumi we've heard all too much about?" a totally gorgeous man asked. He was gorgeous through and through. His short black hair matched his black ears and his gorgeous gray eyes matched the splash of gray on the end of his tail. His muscular arms were as dream as Gakupo's if not more. His face was flawless and when his eyes fell on me, they pierced right through my soul.

"This is Gumi" Kaito said gesturing at me.

I blinked. "Uh yes, I'm Gumi Juon."

The man walked over to me and took my hand. "A pleasure to meet you my dear." He kissed my hand. "My name is Mikuo Hagone." He smiled at me. "Lirima verne' en' haba" (Translation: lovely wife of mine). Whatever the heck that means. Must be some mythical creature language.

Gakupo snarled at him. "Tel' wen corm esta yassen amin" (Translation: the maiden's heart rests with me). What are they saying? I don't speak idiot!

"What are you two idiots spewing?" I snapped.

"Haba" (Translation: Mine) Gakupo snarled pulling me to him.

"I believe that's not your decision Gakupo." Mikuo smiled evilly. "Nadorhuan" (Translation: Cowardly dog)

"Her mate has been decided." Mizki said calmly. "That's why we stopped by. We've been given orders for her to wed a man before her transformation. Having two different Creatures mate with each other and produce such a creation is rare if not almost completely impossible. The Elf council feels they should decided upon her mate and they chose Mikuo. It's about time you mongrels kept off our women."

"Antolle ulua sulrim." (Translation: Much wind pours from your mouth) Gakupo hissed. Mizki hissed at him. "She has already been decided upon at birth."

"It has not been written." Yuma pointed out grabbing Mizki's arm. He glared down at her. "Dina" (Translation: Be silent).

"It has been but the records were burned." Mom said as she walked over to us. I didn't even hear her come in. "You do remember the witch attack exactly 19 years from Gumi's birthday. Those witches burned the files along time ago. Gumi will wed Gakupo as planned. As her mother I have decide."

Yuma chuckled. "The records say you died in that fire Kiku. You have managed to remain hidden for a long time."

"For Gumi's safety, it had to be done." Mom snapped. "Kela, Amin feuya ten' lle" (Translation: Go away, you disgust me). Mom glared at Mikuo who hadn't left me alone yet.

"I believe we are at a cross roads here." Kaito said calmly. "Order's from above can not be questioned but the law says the decision of who there daughter weds is up to the parent or parents. This will have to be decided by the council once more." Kaito crossed his arms and glared at Yuma. "I believe your welcome has been declined Yuma. You should know when your not welcome. You've been kicked out of way to many places to forget what it's like to be unwanted."

Yuma grumbled something under his breath "Very well but we'll be back when the decision is made." Yuma and the rest of the Half breeds but on there hats and began to leave except for Mikuo.

Mikuo smiled at me, took my hand and kissed it again. "Tenna' ento lye omenta, wen" (Translation: until next we meet, maiden). Mikuo smiled, slid his hate onto his head and left.

"Horrid cats" Gakupo snarled.

"What just happened?" I asked.

"Well there seems to be a dilemma on who will take your hand in marriage Gumi." Kaito said with a smirk on his face.

"What?" I yelled.

"Mikuo has been decided by the council to marry you but Gakupo has been chosen by your mother. The council will make the decision. For now we'll have to wait."

"Hold on! It's my damn decision and if I have to chose between those to idiots I'm gonna pick the one with the awesome hair and the nice abs" I yelled.

"You chose that reached cat over me?" Gakupo yelled with his eyes flaming purple.

"Your hair is way more awesome then his! Geez, quit being such an idiot!" I yelled then crossed my arms angrily.

"Well, 19 years of hiding is now screwed over." Mom sighed then leaned on Piko.

He kissed her cheek. "Don't worry Kiku, this will be sorted out soon enough."

"What if they don't pick Gakupo?" Rin shrieked. Rin looked up at Len. "I don't know what I'd have done if the Council hadn't picked Len as my betrothed."

"When did you get married and why didn't I know this?" I yelled.

"Why are you yelling at me!" Rin began to cry.

My eyes widened. "Sorry, I'm just angry." I walked over to her and gave her a hug. "I shouldn't have taken my anger out on you."

"It's ok" she sniffled.

"This isn't happening" Gakupo groaned. I turned to find him face down on one of the couches. "I'm not sure if I'm scared or angry."

I looked at Kaito. "Can the Council do this?" I asked.

"They can do whatever they want." Kaito sighed.

"I don't want Gumi to leave us!" Rin sobbed hugging me around the waist.

"I'm not going anywhere." I ruffled her hair. "I don't give a damn what the council says, I'm doing what I want. If I'm gonna be stuck with an idiot, I'm gonna be stuck with that one" I pointed at Gakupo.

Miki giggled. "She's so right."

"Shut up you red haired demon!" Gakupo yelled with his eyes flaming purple.

"And now he's woken the beast" Rook sighed. I had barely noticed him but he sat on the couch with his arm around Meiko's shoulders.

"Who are you calling a demon?" Miki screamed. She climbed onto the couch. "Pile driver!" Miki pile drove Gakupo and they began to fight with each other like they did the other day. It would have been funny if I wasn't in the middle of a crisis.

"So…I have no say at all" I asked.

Kaito looked a little frustrated. "Kiyoteru, what do you see?" Kaito snapped. Yep, he's frustrated.

"The past won't be revealed just because you want it to be. This must play out the way it's supposed to or the outcome will be completely different. What I will say is the outcome is rather interesting." Kiyoteru sat down on the couch.

Luka touched my shoulder. "No leave. Stay til end" Luka said.

I half smiled at her. "I'm not going anywhere. Don't worry ok?" Luka looked hesitant but she finally nodded and joined Kiyoteru on the couch.

Miki was on Gakupo's shoulders with her legs wrapped around his neck and was pulling on his hair while Gakupo struggled to get her off.

I shook my head. "Well we can't do anything about this. We'll wait for the answer. For now just forget about it. I'm sure the Council will resolve this quickly. The decision will be made weather I'm happy about it or not." I walked towards the staircase leading to the rooms. "It's about time I make some decisions of my own anyways." I pulled out my note pad and penciled down 205 points. "I wonder what 600 points equals. Looks like you'll have to wait and see."

I climbed the stairs as quickly as possible and shut the door to Gakupo's room. As soon as the door shut I burst into tears. It's not fair! Now I only have so long before I'm taken away from Gakupo. I know that the Council will keep it's decision. There the damn Council. They can do whatever they want. I'm gonna lose Gakupo. I've been stalling but now I only have a limited amount of time before I'm taken away. I want to be with Gakupo. No one else. I love him…so…I don't know what to do about this.

Gakupo knocked on the door. I hadn't even realized I locked it. I unlocked the door and nearly fell into Gakupo's arms as soon as he opened the door. Gakupo's eyes widened for a second then he slid his arms around me and shut the door behind him.

"Don't let them take me away!" I sobbed.

Gakupo petted my hair. "They'll have to kill me first before they take you away."

I sniffled. "That would have been funny if I didn't know you were serious."

Gakupo chuckled. "You're my only love. No one will take you away from me. I will never let that happen."

"I should subtract points for that cheap ass line but for some stupid reason I feel a little better." I punched him weakly in the chest as I continued to cry. "You ass, your growing on me."

He lifted me into his arms. "So what does 600 points get me?"

I sniffled. "Heavy make out with close on."

"How many points do I lose if I try to go further?"

"All of them" I mumbled through my tears. He chuckled then kissed me. It felt so good to kiss him again…especially right now when everything's spiraling out of control. I had forgotten what it felt like to have his lips against mine and it was even better then I remember. Touch of his hands on my skin. The feel of his lips along my neck. Pure bliss.

That next morning I found myself fully clothed. Looks like Gakupo held to my rules. I smiled at him. He was asleep with his hair in his face. He looked so peaceful. I brushed his hair out of his face and kissed his cheek. Sadly, I knew that time was slowly running out…but I can't let Gakupo notice how scared I am so I must act like I normally do. The only thing I can do now is wait and make sure that Gakupo doesn't cause any scene's that could jeopardize the small chance that they'll let me have Gakupo.

Gakupo's eyes opened he smiled and pulled me back down to lay with him. He gave me a quick kiss. "I had almost forgotten how good it is to kiss you."

"Me too." My eyes narrowed. "But that doesn't mean I'm just gonna give you 400 points."

"That's no fun."

"It is for me." I kissed him for a little to long then got up. "What do you have for me to wear today?"

"That's a difficult question to answer" Gakupo said sitting up in his bed. "Do you want something skimpy or something a little more presentable?"

"Pervert" I mumbled. "Option number two."

"I was afraid you were gonna say that." He rose form his bed and went into his closet. He pulled a black form fitting black dress that probably went down to my knees and was strapless. I shrugged and grabbed the dress then went into the bathroom to change. When I finished Gakupo was braiding his hair loosely. It was a little too attractive on him. He looked at me out of the corner of his eye. "Is it strange for a man to braid his hair?"

"Not when it looks sexy." I kissed his cheek. "I'm gonna go grab some breakfast. Try not to do anything stupid while I'm gone."

"What kind of person do you take me for Gumi?" he asked dramatically.

"First of all you're not a person, you're a werewolf. Second, I take you for a perverted idiot that doesn't know when to shut up." I left the room without another word only to find that the host club was already up and running. Everyone seemed to have a guest with them. Even Sora had a guest. Must be the fact that we canceled a lot of appointments. Miku was working the bar today apparently since she was cleaning glasses behind the bar wearing Sora's apron.

I sat down on a bars stole. "Morning Miku."

She looked up for a second then went back to cleaning. "Good morning Mrs. Gumi. You look like you slept well. I'm glad. You seemed so frustrated yesterday."

"I think everyone was but no one was more frustrated then Gakupo."

"I sense bad things about that boy." Miku whispered.

"Gakupo?" I asked.

"No, Mikuo. That man is going to do something bad. Do not trust him Mrs. Gumi. Darkness floats around him like fog."

"I already didn't trust the horrid boy. He's trying to take me away from Gakupo. I knew something bad was gonna happen." I crossed my arms. "Mind getting me some wine?"

"Of course Mrs. Gumi." Miku pulled a bottle of some kind of white wine and on corked it. Then she pored me a glass. I grabbed the class and took a sip. Best tasting wine I've ever had but it still was pretty bad. I stuck my tongue out. "Why is wine so nasty?"

"Then don't drink it." Miku said polishing off a glass.

"But everyone drinks wine. Shouldn't I drink to?"

"It's not a requirement." Miku pointed out.

"But then I'd feel left out." I took another sip and stuck my tongue out. "What do you think the Council's gonna do about this?"

"Go over it one hundred times, open some old books and make a decision. Ultimately, it's not gonna be an easy thing to decide on and it's gonna take some time. We'll just have to wait with anticipation for the Council to vote and decide." Miku looked at me. "I have never known the Council to take pity on a case like this…so I doubt you'll ever have Gakupo."

I sighed. "I'm aware of that…but I won't give up so easily. I'll be with Gakupo if it kills me." My eyes widened. "But don't tell him I said that."

"My lips are bond shut." Miku answered.

"Gumi!" Rin shrieked running over to us.

"Rin! We have guests!" Len called from where he sat with three different girls.

"Gumi, Haku says she wants to see you this instant." Rin giggled. "That's it!" She skipped away. What kind of a talk is that?
