Kouha walked down the hallway in front of you while his three maids followed behind. It was surprisingly quiet. Normally, Kouha would say something to break an awkward silence like this. However, no one was saying anything. You didn't really care to say something, in fact the peace was nice. Of course it wouldn't last for long when your stupid clumsy nature caused you to trip into Kouha. You fell right on top of him and laid there then jumped up and lifted you hands up. Junjun, Jinjin, and Reirei ran over to help him up. He got up and looked over at you and started laughing hysterically. You tried to stay calm but your cheeks flushed with embarrassment. Was it really that funny?

Kouha eventually calmed himself down and began to walk down the hall again occasionally giggling a little. He still didn't say anything though. Eventually you both reached his study. He shoved the door open and you hesitantly followed him in. You walked in and gasped.

"Kouha, you really are a slob!"

"What?"

"Seriously, you have maids that clean for you and you still make a mess this big! How is that even possible?" You stood gaping at how horribly messed up the room was. There was all sorts of things laying around everywhere.

"I just won't let them touch any of the papers, because they'll mix them up." He tried to defend himself.

"There is more then papers here! Do I really have to spend the whole day in here?"

He was obviously irritated by everything you had said. "I have to stay in here often!"

"Well, can't you get someone to clean up?"

"Ok, Fine." He called the three maids in to clean the room, then he picked up a pile of papers and headed outside with you following behind him. You both walked for a while until you reached a gorgeous garden. He walked further into the garden where there was a little area set up for nobles to sit at. There were a bunch of pillows which he plopped himself down on. You stood there thinking of some way for you to, maybe, escape.

"Sit down." Kouha commanded you while pulling you down by the arm. You sat and he had a maid bring you some tea while he worked. You were once again surprised by how serious Kouha could get. You didn't expect him to actually do his work. After sitting there for about an hour he got up and began to walk away. You were going to get up to follow him but then realized this was your best chance to be free from him. After all, you were outside and he was almost gone. If he didn't say anything, maybe you could get away with staying. "I'll be right back, I have to get more papers and bring these ones I've finished back." He turned around and smiled at you." Also, (Name), I'm going to leave you alone but don't be too afraid, this place is surrounded by guards to protect you!"

You sulked and soon he was gone. Not long after a maid walked in behind you and picked up your teacup. "Would you like anymore tea?" Hearing the voice you flung you head around to the maid. It was a very familiar voice you had heard a thousand times before. You felt like at that moment you could cry tears of joy.

"Mom!" The teacup slipped from her hands and shattered on the floor. You mother stood there with her mouth open and tears began to fall down her cheeks.

"(N-name)?" She bent over and hugged you tightly. There was so much you wanted to ask her. You couldn't even think of what to say next. But before you could even say a word you remembered Kouha. What would he do if he found your mother. Would he hurt her? You couldn't take the chance of him seeing you two together.

"Mom! You need to leave! Don't come near me. If you see me act like I'm not your daughter. In fact, act like you don't know me at all!"

"(Name)? What's the matter with you?"

"Please, I fear for your life. If he sees you with me I'm afraid he'll kill you!" You stood up and grabbed her shoulders. "Please, please! Leave!"

She paused for a second obviously confused by what was going on. Then, she hugged you tight and pet your head. "Alright, alright. I'm just glad to know your all right. (Name), your gonna be okay."

You didn't understand how it was going to be okay, but still it made you feel better. You really didn't want your mom to leave. Right now you wanted to cry and tell her everything that had happened to you. You wanted to ask her what had happened to everyone. You wanted to hear her advice for you, but you pushed her away. "Hurry."

She began to speedily walk off, but then she turned around, "Taro is okay too." She then walked out of the garden. You stared in the direction she had gone. You felt your face heat up. How could your mom tease you at a time like this. You hadn't thought about him. You tried to keep him out of your mind. Before you could think about it for too long Kouha ran into the garden to you. Right when he got to you he looked down at the broken glass. "What happened here?"

"Oh, I just accidentally dropped it."

"Heeeh, well, the room's clean so we can head over there now." You got up onto your knees, but before you could get on your feet, Kouha's lips were against yours. You shoved away from him. Then he smiled at you. "I've didn't have time to do that earlier this morning, so I've been waiting to have the chance."

You didn't say anything as you stood up. You began to walk off when he grabbed you by the hand and started to take the lead. You tried to pull your hand out of his grip and failed miserably. He did not want to let go. Once you made it to the room he let you go. You looked around at the now clean room. Kouha's desk was the only exception. He walked over to the messed up desk and got to work as you found a chair and sat in it.

After a few hours you became so bored, so you started trying to balance yourself on the 2 back legs of the chair you were in. You weren't too good at it and the chair kept falling back onto all 4 legs. As you tried to balance yourself again Kouha yelled out to you, "(NAME)!" It surprised you so much you lost balance on the chair, but this time you fell backwards. There was a loud crash, then you pulled yourself up from the floor.

"What?" You asked with a surprised tone, as you rubbed the back of your head. You felt something wet on your hand and brought your hand in front of you to look at it. Blood covered it, you must have cut your scalp when you fell a second ago. You looked up at Kouha who didn't seem to have noticed the blood. You hid your hand behind your back, remembering how he reacted last time he saw blood.

"Um, Kouha?" You looked at him and blushed a little. "I need to go to the bathroom."

He looked up at you suspiciously. "Alright then, I guess I'll take you."

"No, I'll be fine by myself."

"What if you get lost again?" There he went saying lost again. You didn't think he knew about your bad sense of direction.

"You can send some guards with me if your worried." He sighed an extremely long sigh then called Jinjin in the room and told her something. He luckily still hadn't noticed the blood yet. You needed to clean it up soon. You felt it run down your neck. Your head was bleeding a lot and you hoped it would stop soon.

The guards were finally at the door, you got up and tried to walk slightly backwards to the door. Of course you looked extremely suspicious. As you the made a turn out of the door out of the corner of your eye you saw a wickedly evil smile spread across Kouha's face as you sprinted off.
