It was a stormy night, the wind was blowing like crazy, the air smelt like a good ocean sea...

But was that suitable for such a noble dog?

"You little brat! I fucking swear! This family is trying hard to deal with the bike shop! And when someone finally tries to buy a fucking bike! You let them have it for free?! What the hell!" He growled, smacking me across the face.

"... I'm sorry sir, I swear, I didn't hand it to them for free, they stole it!"

"Yeah yeah, keep making your desperate excuses kid, I hate you" He glared at me and slammed his bedroom door.

... Dammit, I'm a fucking screw up...

I made my way to my bedroom and take a seat on my bed, surely, this is a time for my trusty, special, favorite object... Right?

... No...?

...

Yes.

I grab the blade sitting on my dresser and stare at it, should I really be doing this? It's been so long... I was clean for a few months... But... i'm back to my old habits now...

Each cut is a tally on how many times I screwed up...

I screwed up twenty six (26) times...

"Gundham, where are you going?"

"Do not fret my angel, I will merely grab any animal that needs shelter, just like I do nearly most of the time, I will retreat once I have found an injured or animal that craves shelter" Tanaka whispered, pulling his jacket on, ignoring he cold air filling the house, due to the front door still being open.

"Gundy darling, it's cold out there, you could get sick..." Akumi frowned, grabbing herself a blanket, "... I am aware my dearest mother, but... Just know..." He paused and smirked, "for that is one reason why I am called the Supreme Overlord Of Ice"

She couldn't help but smile, Gundham always knew how to cheer her up, I mean, anything Gundham does can easily cheer her up, after all, he is her son.

I walk across the road...

My hurt so much... I kind of regret sneaking out the house like that....

I look around and run onto the sidewalk.

"Ah! Are you alright?!"

What...?

That voice...

I know it...

I lift my head up and I see none other than...

Gundham...

...

"You nearly hurt yourself! It is rather cold out here today" He picked me up and wrapped me in his scarf... It's warm..

"a powerful subordinate such as you shouldn't be out in the cold, what heathen has left you out here like that!"

I want to tell you... I really do... But I can't...

"...woof!"

"Oh? Are you really communicating with me... How odd... I have assumed that only the Devas understood me..."

"Woof! Woof!" I felt my tail wag...this is weird...is this out of instinct?

Gundham-...

Gundham....

...

Gundhams amazing...

-At Gundhams house-

"Angel, I have returned from my ritual from the outside!" Tanaka shouted, opening the front door with one hand, while carrying the injured dog with the other.

"Oh my! What has happened to this poor thing?" Akumi frowned, carefully grabbing the dog by its pits, "she- oh...he! He doesn't look well, luckily you grabbed him on the right time, it could have gotten real windy out there" She spoke with a soft, calming voice, trying not to scare the dog.

"Why does he have a cut here...? Is he okay? Has he been dog abused?" She asked, handing him to Gundham.

"... Perhaps, though whoever had done such a sinister behavior, they truly deserve to rot in the deepest pits of hell"

The dog just looked up at Gundham and wagged it's tail, resting it's head on his arm, "he seems to already take his intrests on you sweetheart" His mom chuckled softly, "you can go upstairs with your new friend sweety, I'll be making some food tonight"

"... Of course..." Tanaka smiled, scrubbing the dogs stomach, earning a happy yelp from them.

- in Gundhams bedroom-

...

Is... He caring for me?

I feel Gundham wrap a bandage around my stomach and my legs...

He..-

...

He caring for me...

I roll over on my stomach and stare at Gundham...

...hes writing in a journal... Should I maybe...check...?

I look over his shoulder and hop onto the desk, "arf!"

"Ah! You have awaken from your slumber my dear companion, perhaps you're wondering what I am writing correct? You dont know your new master as well, so I will explain"

He picked me up and placed me on his lap, "As you see, this is an extremely important journal, it holds my power and my secret rituals that no one knows about, for instance, there is a secret I have that no one would be able to know..." He picked me up and whispered something in my ear...

...

What...?
