Despite the fact that she slept in a huge four poster bed covered in rich linens and thick pillows Belle had not slept well at all. The fact her father was free from harm brought her some comfort, but there was still concern about his health. The light of dawn shined through her large window that illuminated the thick mahogany dressers and other furniture with intricate designs and carvings. She finally set her sights on a beautiful light dressing gown that the daughter of a rich family would wear with white and gold trimmings, not to mention a pair of pearl white shoes.

Suddenly the door opened and startled Belle jerked back slightly and was caught off guard by what she saw. It was a rather large fox carrying a tray of food on its back. Using its tail it balanced the tray of food off its back and placed it on the dresser. The tray contained Eggs, several strips of bacon, two buttered toasts, grits, ham with a cup of orange juice. ''Your breakfast is served my lady.'' the fox said with a graceful bow. It was about the size of a large dark horse with clean and well kept looking fur wearing rectangular frame glasses and a large, fluffy tail with a white tip.

Belle was still a bit startled, still trying to wrap her head around everything that was happening. ''W-Who are you?''

''One of the master's servants. Just a humble fox spirit.'' the fox answered and sat down as he sized the girl up. ''Such a pretty young girl.'' the fox shook its head. ''It's awfully close to mating season young lady so you best be careful of arousing the master's interest.'' the fox remarked as Belle went pale as a mixture of shock and nausea filled her features at what the fox was suggesting.

She wanted to say something, trying to put the thoughts out of her mind but the demon hinted at the possibility last night. Belle couldn't help but feel sick to her stomach at the thoughts of being used as some toy by the beast.

''I suggest you get to know the master and warm up to the idea. It'll make things less difficult down the line.'' the fox remarked as a sympathetic look formed on the vulpine's face.

''How long?'' Belle timidly asked, after much consideration Belle figured she would want to know the exact date of that time and mentally prepare for it, than having it suddenly sprung on her.

''A couple of weeks more or less my dear child,'' he replied and used the edge of his paw to adjust his glasses. ''I take it you're an untouched Maiden?''

Belle hesitated for a moment before nodding. She never really thought about such things as unlike most of the girls of her village who only cared about looking pretty and getting married Belle always wanted to do more with her life. The fact that she liked to read and think made her a bit of a social pariah with the fact that her beauty made it okay and that people could overlook what they thought were flaws.

''I know this is rather crude of me to say, but I suggest offering yourself up to the young master before then.'' he remarked as he took notice of Belle's look of disgust. Whether it was at the prospect, Naruto's appearance, or some other factor he was unaware of. ''Since you're human your body is rather fragile in comparison to the master's and if you set him off there is no guarantee he won't kill you. I know the prospect disgusts and frightens you, but I'm afraid life isn't a fairy tale where everything magically works out. The sooner you accept your new role the better. If you need me just ring that bell,'' he said, using his tail to point to a bell on the dresser. It was a quaint little golden bell that shined quite magnificently despite its old, worn out handle.

''My name is Lumus by the way. I suggest you eat, bathe, and get dressed. The master usually likes to sleep in during the weekends, but something tells me he is going to take today to inform you what he expects of you.'' Lumus informed her, giving her one last sad, sympathetic smile as he left the room so Belle could go about her business.

It took some time for Belle's Nausea to subside as hunger soon worked through. As Belle ate the breakfast she began reminiscing about her life back in the village and the homesickness set in again. She missed brushing Phillipe's rather shaggy mane, how her father's inventions would usually sputter out of control and cause some chaos before he finally tuned it, and she was even beginning to miss the empty headed thoughts of the triplets that fawned over the village's heartthrob Gaston. Though those thoughts soon come to cease when the demon's monstrous roar echoed through the castle causing a pit of dread to fill Belle's being and the fact that sooner or later she was going to be at that being's cruel mercy and that there was probably little to no chance to avoid that fate.
