CHAPTER 5

One year later news of Kyoko's mother's death traveled throughout the realms, reaching the Magic Kingdom Kyoko read the goblin paper. Realization hit Kyoko head on, and soon she cried out with pain and sorrow. Ren hearing the seven years old from his cave in the Dark Realm, turning into dark mist and he soon appeared near Kyoko. Running to his crying princess, he gently bumped his head on her lifted arm which was raised to her teary face. Looking at her dark friend, Kyoko reached out and held him to her. Crying on Ren, the little princess fell asleep with tear shut eyes. Lifting her on to his back with the help of a magic stone guard, the dog slowly trotted to her room. Walking up the great stairs Ren walked into Amy, the third Pure Being, looking to her feet she gave a sad look.

Glancing to Ren she softly whispered in her already quit voice "Ren… take Kyoko outside … tomorrow, and stay with her at all time…" looking at her little niece that in her mind has grown up too quickly, "comfort her… she only seems to open up to you…" leaving, Ren looked at the sad little girl on his back.

Ren's POV…

I'm in my cave, in the Dark Kingdom, it stings a little every time I go near Kyoko… but I love her… there just something about her that makes me want to be near her, to be able to touch her, and comfort her. Our first meeting was completely by accident, I was running away from some over grown boars, no seriously those things were huge!, anyway I saw a house up ahead… while it looked like a house from where I was, but then again… it was pretty big for a normal house.

As I approached it I saw a little window in a high point, great… I can make that, or so as I thought… yeah that didn't happened like I thought it would have. But the point is I made it. So now in some random room… and I stayed there, it gave me a warm feeling, and I liked it. And when I woke up as dust broke through the sky, I looked at my surroundings. A~and I'm in a bed room, but before I could sneak out I hear a yawn and then I see a little girl sit up in the over sized bed. She seemed like she was cold... Well that's so nice of me, left the darn window open! It made me feel guilty; I'm not supposed to feel guilt, I'm a shadow dog for crying out loud!

She got up from her bed and looked around… she's cute, long black hair and hazel eyes. Seeing the window the little girl walked over and closed it, this time locking it. I thought that she was going back to bed but she stopped right in front of me. The little girl took a step forward and then I lunged at her, and she fell backwards. It was cute how she closed her eyes. Once she reopened them, the girl stared at me for a moment before raising her hand and placing it on my nose.

It hurt like hell, light realm. Though after a second passed so did the stinging, I licked her.

...

I'm a shadow dog… no living being can tame beasts like myself, but somehow this little defenseless girl, in a whit night grown and black flowing hair. Has enchanted a beast that not even the Dark King could tame and I find myself being next to her every day. And today… the day of her mother's death, I am her by her side, and I'll stay right there. I reaching her room, I push against the door and make my way to the big bed. Jumping up on it I gently roll over making her body roll along. And I pull her blanket over us, or I try to.

Sadly today happens to be the day I find out that Kyoko's very clingy.

I lie beside her and nuzzle her cheek, then she grips onto my fur…and a lone tear slides down her rose petal cheek. I lick it away, and curl around her small body.

End of Ren's POV…

In the Dark Realm

"What!" Kuon shouted with all his being.

He couldn't believe it the Queen of the Light Kingdom, Kyoko's mother, has died. His shout scared the already terrified goblin, and awoke the Majesties. Kuon's body began emitting a heavy dark aura and soon his eyes started glowing red, but just in time his father reached and grabbed his son's shoulder. Turning to the sudden feel of pressure on his shoulder, Kuon's aura faded slightly.

"What!" he held venom in his voice as he threw icy glares towards his father.

"Kuon…Son you have to calm down, you're scaring the news goblin…" Kuu said to his obviously outraged son.

Looking to the shrunken goblin, Kuon reduced his aura and offered an apologetic smile. The goblin ran away… sighing Kuon looked to his parents that he really didn't want to wake up, he was planning to go see Kyoko, who had become a good friend to him though he may have secretly fallen for her. But the news made him concerned for her, and shouted.

"I'm going out…" he quickly jumped into the portal to the Magic Realm, and didn't wait for his parents' permission."K-"was all he heard before he landed on his feet in the magical forest. He listened to the trees whispering about a girl with golden eyes that were melting clear liquid.

"I have to hurry…" he ran through the thick forest and came to a stop near the clearing.

Kuon has never stepped foot into the light before, when ever he'd travel to the Magical Realm to meet with her Kyoko would sit two inches from the shade. It was going to hurt, a lot. Gazing to the two sitting near the clear river, that was very far from the safety of the forest's shade, Kuon could ses Ren sitting next to her. Nuzzling his head on her shoulder every so often, he looked so worried for her. Though she looked fine, stray tears would escape and rain down her fair cheeks, and every time her companion would lick them away. Kuon seeing this couldn't handle seeing his precious girl in pain, and without thinking walked into the sun. But once out his flesh hissed, and he backed into the safety of the dark forest.

"Come on Kuon…It's just a little light…" he inhaled sharply and quickly walked up to Kyoko. Upon reaching her Kuon pulled Kyoko into an embrace, sending them both backwards.
