A/N Hey guys, here's the next chapter so without further ado, enjoy.


I was currently flying around the city today as the weather felt nice but I was a little distracted from recalling Madarao asking me if I could teach him how to take on an anthro form and I had to admit that I was curious as to what he would look like in an anthro form.

Still, I needed a bit more time to consider it so I decided to explore the city today to take my mind off it but it was a little hard to do right now so I wondered how Yoshimori and Tokine were doing today, prompting me to head to Karasumori to check on them since the former looked irritable when he was leaving for school.

I had a feeling it concerned Masamori and I wondered what was up with the sudden hostility with his brother since Masamori sticking around for a while had put Yoshimori in a bad mood, which had me curious but it didn't take long until I was shaken out of my thoughts when I arrived at the academy.

I flew to where Yoshimori's classroom was located and could see the person in question glaring out the window so even though he already knows about me, I doubt he would be happy to see me here in the daytime so I made sure to stay hidden as I watched the class drone on until it was over and other students were either chatting or goofing off.

I saw a few of Yoshimori's friends walk over to talk to him and so did Yurina as they asked Yoshimori about Masamori being in town and the male Kekkaishi looked more and more irritated until he shouted at Yurina to shut up.

I was shocked by that and then my eyes narrowed since what he did was clearly unnecessary and very rude so I decided to question him about what's gotten into him today since that was uncalled for, yelling at a sweet girl like Yurina.

Yoshimori growled something at his fellow classmates and I flew away after that, just waiting for a while until I saw Yoshimori arriving on the roof and he laid down before staring up at the sky with a peeved expression until I flew down to where he was.

"Hey kid," I greeted and Yoshimori saw me before quickly sitting up and staring at me in bewilderment.

"Chris? What the hell are you doing here?" Yoshimori asked.

"Well, I usually explore the city whenever it's daytime so I decided to see how you and Tokine were doing...though I saw you shouting at Yurina so was that necessary? You didn't have to yell at her like that so is there something going on that I need to know about?" I questioned with a frown and Yoshimori looked away with a scowl.

"It's nothing," Yoshimori said evasively and I was far from amused by that.

"It's definitely not nothing so does this have something to do with your brother?" I inquired and Yoshimori shot me a glare that told me to let it go, which only confirmed it.

"It's none of your business," Yoshimori retorted and I wasn't phased by his tone as I looked stern.

"Yoshi, ever since Masamori came back, you've been in a pretty nasty mood and now you are shouting at your own classmates so it has become my business because this might affect your duties and get someone hurt, now what's going on with you?

I have a feeling that there's a reason why you're acting this way so you need to explain to me why you are holding such resentment for your brother, now what's got you so irritable?" I questioned and Yoshimori hesitated to respond until he sighed.

"Fine...Tokine and I were close when we were kids and I enjoyed being friends with her but there were times when she paid more attention to Masa than me and, ugh, it ticks me off that she started ignoring me whenever he was around.

Now he's back and she's paying more attention to him than me again so it ticks me off that I'm being ignored like that," Yoshimori grumbled with a sour expression and I realized what was going on with him.

"In other words, you're jealous," I said and Yoshimori sputtered in response.

"I'm not jealous, I just don't like feeling like I'm being ignored!" Yoshimori shouted and I sent him a deadpan half-lidded expression.

"Kid, I've been around for a very long time so I know jealousy when I see it, and there's nothing wrong with that since she was a close friend of yours despite the rivalry going on between your family and hers so you probably feel as if Masamori is getting in the way when it concerns your friendship with her," I pointed out and Yoshimori blinked at that.

"Really?" Yoshimori asked and I nodded with a solemn expression.

"Take it from me, Kouya and I were very close a long time ago, close enough to be brothers in all but blood, and losing him damn near destroyed me so you can't take things for granted because you never know what you have until it's gone," I said until I went to fly back to the Sumimura estate, leaving Yoshimori to his thoughts.

I flew for a while until I arrived back at the estate and shifted into my anthro form, my clothes appearing on me but I left my footpaws bare this time as I entered the house and simply went to grab a snack from the fridge as I headed back to my room.

I was mostly lost in thought as I just merely relaxed for the time being while a few hours went by when I got up and left my room, heading down the hall just as I heard the front door opening and Yoshimori announcing that he was home so I decided to greet him as I headed to the front hall when I heard Masamori speaking to him so I listened in on the conversation.

"What do you want?" Yoshimori inquired as he didn't sound happy to see his brother.

"I was wondering if you would like to have tea with me," Masamori offered and Yoshimori sighed but he didn't refuse either so I waited until they went into a room and subtly followed them before listening in.

"Grandpa told me all about your mischief and he also told me you released Madarao's seal," Masamori said as I could hear him pouring tea into two cups.

"Would you mind hurrying this up? I kinda want to take a nap," Yoshimori grumbled.

"Relax. I saw Tokine, she's become quite a beautiful girl," Masamori commented and I was wondering where he was going with this.

"Oh really?" Yoshimori questioned.

"Do you remember how we all used to play together? Those great snowball fights, flying kites together...she's certainly grown up since then so, about that Tokine, you still like her, right?" Masamori asked and I heard Yoshimori doing a spit-take with the tea he was sipping as my eyes widened.

'Wait, Yoshi has feelings for Tokine? Damn, that explains a lot now,' I thought as I kept listening.

"Yep, that's what I thought so here, tissue," Masamori said with a light-hearted chuckle full of mirth.

"What is she, two years older? You like 'em mature but, anyway, down to business. I take it your fighting style is still just a lash-out with all your strength," Masamori continued and Yoshimori let out a groan of annoyance.

"Is this a lecture?" Yoshimori grumbled irritably.

"It sure is...listen, Yoshimori, the point is that you have to learn to think before you act so what is the Ayakashi's greatest advantage over you?" Masamori inquired.

"That they...can harness the power of Karasumori?" Yoshimori guessed and Masamori placed his cup down.

"Well, that certainly helps them but they have an even greater advantage so you have no idea who your enemies are. You never know what kind of Ayakashi will come next, what they look like, and what powers they have in the dark, but they know everything about you, which gives them an edge.

That's why it's crucial to think before you take action," Masamori stated and I couldn't argue with that since he had a point.

"Yeah, well, just because you make a plan, doesn't mean it's gonna work," Yoshimori pointed out.

"Maybe, but deciding how to fight makes you more effective so you're too naive because if I were an enemy attacking Karasumori, that castle would take me one night to destroy it...look, you still haven't learned to master all the kekkai techniques.

They can be much more useful than you realize since, for example..." Masamori trailed off and I soon heard him use his kekkai with Yoshimori letting out a gasp.

"See? If you can trap targets with that kind of precision, it'll open up all kinds of options in battle and in terms of strategy and skill with your kekkai, Tokine's got you beat hands down," Masamori finished and Yoshimori huffed.

"Big deal, it's not a competition and I may not know fancy tricks but I can still keep things under control...I just don't want anyone to get hurt out there, that's all," Yoshimori admitted quietly.

"Your intentions are good, but you're too naive so listen to what I'm trying to tell you, Yoshimori. Acting on your raw emotions can only get you so far but you can't win every fight that way, so don't you understand the magnitude of your job?

You're responsible for more than just the site around the school, you're responsible for this town, the people, and even mankind so you are the legitimate heir and it's time you started acting like it because this isn't a game, which is why you can't just blow off this responsibility," Masamori empathized sternly and there was a silence for a short amount of time until I heard someone stand up and quickly hid just as Yoshimori stormed away angrily.

'I know it hurts to hear it, kid, but he's right,' I thought with a grim frown.

"You may come out now," Masamori said and I tensed slightly until I relaxed and stepped into the room.

"Hello, Masa," I greeted as Masamori gestured for me to have a seat across from him and I went to sit down.

"So, how much did you hear?" Masamori inquired as he went to take a sip from his cup.

"Enough, and I agree with what you said since Yoshi needs to stop being reckless and start taking his duties seriously..." I trailed off and Masamori arched a brow at that.

"I'm sensing that you have more to add," Masamori pointed out and I sighed.

"Well, despite what I said, he is making some improvement in his training and there are times when he adapted to certain situations, as unorthodox as they were so he does have potential but he needs more discipline and wisdom first," I stated and Masamori looked curious.

"Interesting, perhaps Yoshimori has improved while I was away, but he needs to learn to accept his role or he won't make it in this harsh world," Masamori replied stoically and I stood up.

"Either way, the boy has talent so I'm interested to see how much stronger he'll become," I stated before I sent Masamori a nod and left the room.


A few more hours had gone by and before I knew it, it was time for dinner so I headed to the dining room and sat at the table as the other members of the Sumimura family, with the exception of Shuji, sat down as well and so we waited for the food and drinks to arrive.

This felt really nice, sitting with Yoshi and his family at the dinner table as if I was now part of the family and it reminded me of how I would have dinner with my parents so I had forgotten what it was like and how content it made me feel just as Shuji came in with the food and drinks before putting them down onto the table and taking his seat.

"No way," Toshimori gasped while Shigemori laughed in amazement.

"That's what I call a feast!" Shigemori exclaimed joyfully and I smiled at how cheerful he was right now.

"I agree, this all looks very good," I added and Shuji looked sheepish.

"Yes, well, since Masamori came back unannounced, I thought I'd go all out tonight," Shuji admitted while rubbing the back of his head.

"But dad, I sent you an email saying I was coming," Masamori pointed out in confusion and Shuji looked surprised by that.

"You did? Sorry, I haven't touched my computer in a while," Shuji admitted while Shigemori gawked at him.

"You should just get a cell phone," Masamori told him and Shuji shook his head.

"Oh, I'd never use it," Shuji replied as I saw Shigemori looking angrier and angrier with his face turning red so I prepared myself for the shouting that will happen.

"You are a caster, so you should use your shikigami!" Shigemori yelled in outrage and Masamori blinked at that before reaching into his uniform and taking out a cell phone.

"But it's much faster to call him on this," Masamori said and I scratched the back of my head.

"Um, he does have a point since it would be faster," I agreed and Shigemori turned his glare on me.

"You stay out of this!" Shigemori shouted, making me raise my hands in surrender with a sweatdrop until Yoshimori sighed.

"Hey, is it cool if I sit next to Chris?" Yoshimori asked.

"Brothers must sit together!" Shigemori yelled and I grimaced since his shouting was starting to hurt my ears a little bit.

Still, we all said the traditional thank you and started eating as I could see Yoshimori looked a little tired so he must not have had his nap today, which also explained why he was in a bad mood but it didn't take long until we were finished and Yoshimori and I went to our respective rooms to get ready for tonight.

I conjured up my weapons and headed outside before doing the same with my boots and waited for Yoshimori, just as Madarao came out of his doghouse and Yoshimori left the house until we started making our way to Karasumori.

"Somebody's in a bad mood, but I can't really say I blame you," Madarao commented as he gazed at Yoshimori, who still had a glare on his face.

"Yoshimori, Chris!" Tokine called out and we looked back to see her and Hakubi catching up to us.

"Hey, Tokine," I replied as we kept running.

"Isn't Masamori coming with us?" Tokine inquired and Yoshimori looked irritated with a tickmark appearing on him.

"Drop it, and how should I know?!" Yoshimori shouted before running even faster, much to the bewilderment of Tokine and Hakubi as I grimaced.

'Geez, talk about being a sore subject for him,' I thought just as Madarao and I picked up speed to catch up to Yoshimori.

"I'm no fan of him either, believe me," Madarao told the male Kekkaishi, who glanced at him for a moment when I sensed an Ayakashi that suddenly appeared in Karasumori.

"I sense an Ayakashi that's in Karasumori so let's pick up the pace," I informed the others and we hurried to the school.

We ran for a little bit and arrived at the academy, going over the front gate and running to where we last sensed the Ayakashi as we ran through campus grounds when we arrived in a courtyard in the middle of the academy and didn't see anything as Yoshimori, Madarao, and I came to a stop.

"Huh, I don't see anything," Yoshimori muttered and I frowned.

"I wasn't imagining it when I sensed it so it's definitely here," I said as I looked around when Madarao hummed thoughtfully.

"Odd, I could've sworn the scent was coming from around here," Madarao told us in confusion and started sniffing the ground.

"Hmm, well, maybe-" Yoshimori started to say when something began to come out of the ground underneath his foot and my eyes widened.

"Look out!" I shouted as I grabbed Yoshimori's arm and yanked him out of the way just as something large sprouted from the ground, making Madarao fly out of the way as well as trees started coming out of the ground until we were surrounded by a forest.

"What the heck is this?!" Yoshimori exclaimed incredulously.

"Um, this is new...guess that explains why we couldn't see it earlier but I wasn't expecting the Ayakashi to be a forest," I said as we looked around.

"Madarao, is this an Ayakashi too?" Yoshimori asked.

"Yeah, but a rare one so this is a botanical Ayakashi," Madarao replied and I narrowed my eyes at that.

'Something's off, botanical Ayakashi are generally mindless beings and are unable to move around on their own so the only thing I can think of is that someone brought it here, but who and why is the question,' I thought as I was starting to get suspicious.

"Whatever it is, it's going down!" Yoshimori declared before using his kekkai on one of the trees to destroy it.

"Ha, trees can't even move so this is going to be a piece of cake!" Yoshimori added with a grin when a tree sprouted from the area where the last one was destroyed.

"Oh, that's a big one," Madarao remarked and Yoshimori gawked at the tree that had regrown until he scowled.

"Come on!" Yoshimori shouted irritably and was about to use his kekkai on it again.

"No, don't!" Tokine called out and that made us look at her.

"I see you are thinking the same thing I am," I said and she nodded.

"Yes, attacking it is just going to waste more strength so let's look around and find out more about this forest," Tokine told us and Yoshimori frowned.

"Yeah, but didn't you see how fast that thing grew? If we don't hurry up, it's gonna get enormous. Look," Yoshimori pointed out and we looked up to see the trees continuing to grow taller and bigger.

"Yeah, I can see why that will be a problem so brute force isn't going to work here, which is why we need to come up with a sound strategy to stop this Ayakashi," I stated and Yoshimori scowled before attempting the destroy the trees with his kekkai, despite Tokine's protests.

'Damn kid, he needs to stop being so stubborn and use his head for once because brute force is not the answer here,' I thought with a sweatdrop and sighed in exasperation as we separated but I stayed with Yoshimori and Madarao while we moved through the forest.

We looked around to see if we can find the source of what was causing the trees to appear but we weren't having much luck so I frowned since something had to be causing this and we should go meet up with Tokine to discuss what our next plan of action should be, but then we came across something odd that was hanging from one of the trees so we hurried our way to the female Kekkaishi.

"Hey Tokine, check this out! Chris and I found something super weird over there!" Yoshimori exclaimed and she followed us as we quickly made our way back to our discovery.

"Honey, I've been searching for whatever caused this mess but the Ayakashi responsible for it seems to be moving around a lot so this one is going to be tricky," Hakubi told Tokine quietly as we kept running, then Yoshimori and I came to a stop and it made the others stop as well while I pointed up at the spiky organic sac that was hanging from a branch.

"There...ugly little shit, isn't it?" I remarked while the sac pulsed in a disgusting manner.

"Ew, it's moving," Tokine said with a look of disgust.

"Pretty freaky, huh?" Yoshimori spoke up while Madarao looked alarmed.

"This is bad, Yoshimori. It's emitting a strong poison and its Ayakashi power is different from the tree," Madarao stated while Hakubi tensed up.

"Not only that, but it's getting stronger," Hakubi added just as the sac started swelling and my eyes widened at that.

"Oh hell, I think we need to get to cover, right now," I stated urgently but Yoshimori quickly used his kekkai to conjure up a barrier to protect us just as the sac exploded

The barrier was being pelted with the spikes but they didn't penetrate it and merely bounced off while the spikes impacted the ground until there was nothing but silence as we gazed around and Yoshimori let out a sigh of relief.

"That was close," Yoshimori muttered and dispelled the barrier.

"Yoshimori, Chris!" Tokine shouted and we quickly looked to see what had her alarmed and my eyes widened as I saw that the spikes had cracked open and purple vines were sprouting from them, one of them wrapping around Tokine's ankle but a quick slash from my sword quickly freed her ankle.

"Great, this just keeps on getting better and better," I said as the vines started getting bigger and spikes started appearing on them.

"Let's move!" Yoshimori yelled and Tokine and I didn't argue as we started running to gain some distance from the vines.

"Yoshimori, we need backup because we are in way over our heads here, so we can go ask Masamori to see if he'll know what to do," Tokine suggested and Yoshimori scowled.

"Forget it, there's no way I'm gonna ask that guy for any help!" Yoshimori refused harshly.

"Same goes for me," Madarao agreed and I scowled.

"Look, in case you two haven't noticed, we have an out-of-control botanical Ayakashi that's going to overtake everything so you two need to put aside your resentment of Masamori because it's going to get people killed!" I shouted irritably.

"He's right, I don't trust a lot of guys but Masa is strong," Hakubi agreed as we ran to one of the entrances of the school and came to a stop.

"Shut up, I can handle this!" Yoshimori yelled and Tokine glared at him.

"Oh yeah? Well, what's your big plan?" Tokine retorted and Yoshimori gestured at the forest.

"I'll enclose the whole forest!" Yoshimori snarled and my eyes bugged out at that.

"Kid, are you serious? This forest is enormous and using that much power could kill you, so are you sure that's a good idea?" I questioned as I stared at him as if he was nuts and Yoshimori looked thoughtful.

"Yeah, well, I'm not sure I can destroy it but I know I can enclose it," Yoshimori replied as he looked up at the trees.

"And what will you do after that?" Tokine asked as Yoshimori walked up to one of the trees and placed his hand on it.

"Okay, maybe I can burn the trees down so you think these things are flammable?" Yoshimori wondered as Madarao flew over to examine the trees.

"I don't see why they wouldn't be," Madarao replied.

"Well, they are trees, after all," Hakubi added and I hummed thoughtfully.

"And I have the ability to conjure up fire so when you think about it, we pretty much have everything we need to put this plan into action," I pointed out and Yoshimori smiled at us.

"See? We can use that...um, what was it called again?" Yoshimori wondered and I cleared my throat.

"A backdraft?" I questioned and Yoshimori perked up.

"Yeah, that's it! We use a backdraft of fire and my kekkai will keep it contained," Yoshimori said and Tokine sighed.

"This is silly so are you sure you can do this?" Tokine asked in exasperation.

"Totally, I got this," Yoshimori replied with a look of confidence.

"Alright, Chris and I will help you then," Tokine said and Hakubi looked uncertain.

"Honey, Chris, I strongly advise against this," Hakubi stated and I looked at him.

"Hakubi, I know you're unsure about this but when you think about it, it's not a half-bad strategy so we can do this as long as we stay focused," I pointed out as Yoshimori went to get ready to carry out the first phase of his plan.

As he was doing that, I took off into the forest and channeled my energy into my sword and it started glowing red while I held it out in a ready stance when Yoshimori went to use his kekkai on the forest and my eyes widened as I saw a massive barrier beginning to enclose the entire forest and I was flabbergasted that Yoshimori was doing it, though the kekkai barrier was rippling and not looking stable.

'Holy shit, the kid actually did it,' I thought but shook it off as I started twirling my sword and swung around as the slashes unleashed bursts of flames that started setting the trees on fire so I got outside the barrier in time, and while all the oxygen in the barrier got used up and the flames started to die down, we were prepared for that.

"Yoshimori, got it?!" Tokine exclaimed loudly and it was time to put the next phase of our plan into action.

"Go!" Yoshimori shouted and Tokine used her kekkai to create a hole in Yoshimori's barrier to create more oxygen for the fire as the flames started back up and turned into a massive explosion.

I ducked my head and raised an arm to shield my face from the intense heat as the forest was getting incinerated by the flames so all I can do now was put my faith in Yoshimori and hope that he can keep focused or things will turn even worse than they were before.

'Come on, kid...just keep the barrier up for as long as you can,' I thought when the barrier started rippling violently, which alarmed me.

I quickly jumped to safety so that I wouldn't catch on fire as the barrier started going down but I could see Tokine using her staff to take care of the raging flames and the remains of the forest while I noticed Yoshimori joining in to assist as I made it to a roof and watched as the fire and the remains of the forest were taken care of until all that's left was the scorched walls and the burnt ground with destroyed trees on it, then I met up with the two Kekkaishi and let out a whistle at the devastation.

"Damn, glad I wasn't in the middle of that," I commented as Yoshimori and Tokine blinked at the destruction.

"Oh boy, this is going to be a huge pain to clean up so I'm calling backup, and this time, you're not going to stop me," Tokine told Yoshimori while taking out a shinigami that took the form of a bird and flew off to no doubt bring Shigemori and Tokiko here to assist in the clean-up.

'That kid...he is something else, and if he is able to learn how to control that much power in him, then there's no telling how strong he'll become,' I thought as I gazed at Yoshimori, feeling awed by what he did and he didn't even look winded from it either.

Still, it didn't take long for Shigemori and Tokiko to show up with the former berating his grandson and then Tokiko mocked Shigemori and it resulted in an argument between the two as I sweatdropped at that, though Masamori spoke to Yoshimori and I sighed as Madarao and Hakubi flew over to me.

"You alright, Chris?" Hakubi inquired and I nodded.

"Yeah, I'm good and I have to admit Yoshi is something else...so much power in that kid," I said quietly and Madarao smiled gently.

"Yes, he will most certainly be a force to be reckoned with one day," Madarao agreed just as Masamori walked over to us.

"Hello Chris, have you thought about what I said the other night?" Masamori asked and I thought back to how he wanted to examine me so I nodded.

"Yeah, and I decided to consent to it so you can examine me, but nothing too extreme," I pointed out.

"Of course, let's head back home so that I can examine you there," Masamori said and we started walking back home together with Madarao and Hakubi following us, nothing but silence between us on our way back.


'I hope he'll be done soon,' I thought while Masamori was examining me.

After getting back to the Sumimura estate, we headed to my room and Masamori had me remove my jacket, shirt, and boots as Madarao blushed at seeing my upper body that had powerful athletic muscles but then he started studying me from every angle.

As he did that, I explained my history with Madarao and Hakubi so he listened while he was carrying out his examination of me and he once asked if he could examine my tail, which I allowed and I shivered when he touched it but I didn't move as he kept studying me.

"Okay, I'm finished," Masamori notified me as he stood up and I sighed in relief.

"That's good, so what do you think?" I inquired and Masamori hummed thoughtfully.

"I have to say that you are different than the other Ayakashi I've encountered before so take this," Masamori told me as he held out what appeared to be a black leather collar with some kind of runes on it.

"What's this?" I asked as I took the collar and started examining the runes on it.

"It's a special collar I made myself that will allow you to use your full strength while preventing you from losing control while being on the site of Karasumori," Masamori explained and I was touched that he would do that for me.

"Thanks, I really appreciate that but I can't exactly remove the seal that's on me right now," I said as I gestured at the sealing collar that was on my neck.

"Here, allow me to help," Masamori offered and I motioned for him to go ahead.

Masamori went to grab my seal and removed it, then I went to rub my neck and sent him a look of gratitude before I went to put my new collar on as I put it around my neck and secured it with the buckle, making sure that it wasn't too tight but not too loose either.

"How does it feel?" Masamori asked and I sent him a smile.

"Feels good, I like it," I replied and Masamori nodded.

"Good, I'm glad to hear that so I'll let you get some sleep since I imagine you must be tired after what happened tonight," Masamori said just as I yawned.

"Yeah, sleep sounds good right now," I replied and Masamori nodded until he left my room and Hakubi sighed.

"I'm gonna get some sleep too so I'll see you tomorrow night, Chris," Hakubi spoke up and he exited my room as well, leaving me and Madarao alone.

"Well, guess I'm gonna turn in tonight," I said but Madarao didn't leave and I arched a brow at that.

"So...I was wondering if you came to a decision about what we talked about," Madarao told me shyly and I recalled him asking if I could teach him how to take on an anthro form of his own.

"I have and I decided to teach you how to transform into a humanoid state but I'll have to ask Shige for permission first," I said and Madarao smiled at that until he looked bashful and maybe a little embarrassed.

"Of course, though is it okay if I slept with you tonight?" Madarao asked tentatively and my eyes widened until my face turned red and Madarao seemed to figure out what I was thinking as his face turned crimson.

"Not like that, just cuddling! I'm far from ready for something like that yet!" Madarao exclaimed while looking really embarrassed and I rubbed the back of my head.

"S-Sure...i-if you w-want to," I said meekly while avoiding eye contact with the canine spirit until I went to lie down on my futon and shyly patted the space next to me.

Madarao hesitantly flew over until he descended and was lying down next to me as it was awkward between us but I got comfortable enough to wrap my arms around his snake-like body and pull him up against my chest as my face was still red, though Madarao went to give my jaw a single lick and it made me relax as I nuzzled the top of his head in response and he rumbled contently.

"This is nice," Madarao mumbled as he sounded like he was dozing off and I hummed in response before I found myself dozing off as well until I drifted into a peaceful sleep, not experiencing nightmares for the first time in days.


A/N Talk about adorable, am I right? Chris is healing from losing Kouya and becoming more comfortable when it comes to what's developing between him and Madarao so it won't be long until they become a couple.

Well, let me know what you think and stay tuned.
