Hey everyone! I gave a short flashback of Kaito, since there was no character description about him. I thought you should know some info about him and his past.

Anyway, enjoy!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Kaito pov:

I snuggled to the warmth next to me.

Mama, I missed sleeping with you like this. I missed you. Ever since papa was killed by those bad demons….I love you mama.

The kids teased and bullied me again today. But you smiled when you saw me. You are the only one in this world who loves me….I’m so happy but….I want to meet someone who likes me for me. I want a friend… Mama, its so lonely when you leave to work in the fields and I watch from the window as the other kids enjoy palying with each other.

I try to play with them, but they hurt me and laugh at me. They enjoy seeing me cry, seeing me hurt. And something in my chest feels so tight….mama, I want it to stop….

I turn around to see you come home from work. The wide smile on my face turns to fear when I see you bleeding. A large gash in your stomach, so much blood pouring out of it. “Mama!” I call out and run to you. You fall on the ground, your face sweating, and your breathing hard. “Mama! Mama, what happened! Mama!”

I’m terrified! I’m terrified of what is happening now. I don’t know what to do! I don’t know anything! You smile softly, you eyes showing you love me. Your hand that’s covered in blood caresses my cheek softly and you whisper. “Kaito sweetheart, I will always love you. And I will always be with you…..my sweet Kaito….”

Your voice fades and your eyes are getting dull. My whole body trembles. “Mama! No don’t leave me! Mama!” You give me a smile and your eyes close. My eyes are watering so much; I can barely see your face. I’m so scared! What should I do? Why isn’t mama answering?! “Mama! Mama!” I shake her. Please wake up! Please hug me! Please save me from the people who hurt me everyday! Please say you love me again!

I hear a pot falling and breaking. My head snaps up and I see one of the villagers staring in horror. “You monster! You killed your own mother! You devil! You demon!” She runs away and I tremble more. No….I didn’t do it! I didn’t do it! But my voice is dead. I cant speak! I cant say anything!

I see other villagers come to where I sit, holding mama close to me. “Kill that demon!” The villagers come at me with knives, swords, axes….I have nowhere to run or hide. I cant move.

Mama save me!

I feel so much power in me. My back burns like it is being scorched by the hottest fire. I scream in agonizing pain. Its too much. I cant think! I cant move!

My eyes shoot open and the villagers are dead. Lying in pools of blood around me. My clothes are covered in their blood. My hands stained red.

I shiver and black wings wrap around me. My eyes widen and tears fall. I am a demon. A devil with black wings. A demon that has killed all these people. No….NO!!!

I run. Just run as fast as my legs can take me. I don’t know where I’m going. I’m so afraid! The forest looks like it will eat me alive….I’m scared of everything and myself. I stop and fear racks my heart when I see demons. Fox demons…..weapons, faces so scary…..slaves….

Now I am a slave waiting to be sold. Sold to someone who can hurt me more. Destroy me from inside out. More abuse, more pain, more hatred. I sit away from the humans and cry. My wings wrapped around me, trying to shut the looks of disgust everyone gives me.

“Hey, are you ok? Whats wrong?” A soft voice calls. I feel terrified again and lift my head showing my red eyes that everyone fears and hates. A human ne chan….no, a human girl who hates creatures like me is looking at me.

I spread out my wings, wanting to scare her away, wanting to save myself from pain. Other humans gasp and whisper their hate while watching me, but this one person doesn’t move. Its like she can see right through me and my heart pounds.

“Its ok, I wont hurt you.” She smiled and I feel so angry! “I don’t need sympathy of a demon or a human!” I scream. She only smiles and sits in front of me. “You’re a strong kid, you know?”

My eyes go wide. They sting painfully and even though she sees my wings, she doesn’t lose her smile. She’ like mama….she sees me with those eyes…..love, affections. NO! I cant be tricked! But I’m curious, curious and hopeful. “W-why are you talking to me? I’m a h-half demon….everyone hates me….”

I look away, feeling all the pain again. I want it to stop…..its too much…..I freeze when I feel her hand on my head. “I don’t see why people hate you. I think you’re a very cute kid.” I look at her baffled. “Y-you don’t hate me? I wont fall for your tricks!” She only laughs and smiles again. “I’m not tricking you. And I have no reason to hate you.”

My eyes return to their normal color and I feel myself break into pieces. It hurts! It hurts so much that I cant take it! “T-they killed mama! T-they took her away from m-me! Papa d-died and mama was k-killed! And everyone hates me!” I cry into my hands. I freeze but tightly hold her as she embraces me. I can feel mama holding me just like this. Its so warm and comforting. I feel safe.

“Its ok….shh….I wont let anyone hurt you anymore.”

I slowly open my eyes and see ne chan sleeping next to me. Her hand is around me just like how mother used to hold me. I cant help but feel my eyes sting again. A human didn’t hate me. Finally, there was one person in this world who didn’t hate me. I was a half demon, what other humans called ‘disgusting creatures’ but ne chan was different.

And I trust her.

Natsu pov:

I felt someone shift next to me and I groaned when there was aloud knock on the door. I turned to lie on my back and covered my eyes with my arm. “Ugh….I hate mornings….” I mumbled. I heard soft laughter next to me and I cracked open an eye to see Kaito.

I smiled. “Good morning Kaito. Did you sleep well?” He nodded and I smiled at the adorable kid. “Hey new slaves! Get up! Lord Sesshomaru says you start your duties today!” the door was banged again and I sighed. I sat up, yawned and stretched. I cracked the muscles in my neck and shoulder and stood up. I turned to Kaito. “I’ll just use the bathroom quickly and then you can wash up too, ok?”

He grins and I chuckle. I quickly wash up and get change into the maid clothes that have been left for me. I exited the bathroom and shooed Kaito to wash up next. Even though I didn’t know him that well, the kid looked like he had gone through a lot and I wanted to help him. Call me a weak hearted person, but I adore kids so much that I couldn’t help but fall for his adorableness.

“Ne chan!” He called startled from the bathroom and I opened the door and rushed in worried for a second. He was struggling with the shirt half way over his head and he lost balance and fell on his rear. I giggled softly, but stiffened when I heard him crying. He was sniffling and I went closer to him. “Ne chan! Its so dark! I’m scared!”

I smiled sadly. Poor kid….I wonder what happened? I slowly pulled his hands through the sleeves and pulled the shirt over him completely. He rubbed his eyes as tears fell from them and he was trembling. I brought him to a hug and his small arms wrapped around my neck tightly. I lifted him into my arms and patted his back. “Don’t worry Kaito. I’m here so you don’t have to be scared of anything ok?”

He nodded his head and his crying had reduced to hiccups. I made him let go and supported him with one arm. I wiped his face and smiled. “Lord Sesshomaru says we have to start work today. We get to meet his adopted daughter! Aren’t you excited?” I poked his nose and he smiled a little. “There, you look so much cuter when you smile.”

I gasped and giggled when he kissed my cheek, blushed and hugged me again. I shook my head, chuckled and exited the room to start my day as Rin’s caretaker.

We reached Sesshomaru’s study soon and I waited for instructions. Kaito was still in my arms and he was looking around curiously. The door of his study opened and I saw a little girl stand there. She looked at me nervously and ran to where Sesshomaru was seated and hid behind him.

“Rin, this is your new caretaker.” She was cute. She had black hair tied in a ponytail on one side and large brown eyes. “Lord Sesshomaru! I don’t want a caretaker! Why cant I be with you?” She asked and I smiled. “Rin, don’t make me repeat.” She looked away sadly and walked to me. I put Kaito down and he held onto my legs and peeked at Rin. “Dismissed.” He said simply and I refrained from rolling my eyes. Kaito held one of my hands and I offered the other to Rin and she took it hesitantly.

We walked out of Sesshomaru’s study and to the gardens. When we were in the middle, I crouched down and smiled at Rin. “Hello Rin, my name is Natsu. And this is Kaito.” She bowed. “Nice to meet you.” “So Rin, what do you want to do?” I asked and she thought for a minute. “Will you teach me how to read and write?”

I smiled. “Sure! So shall we go to your room?” “I want to learn too!” Kaito yelled and I chuckled. “Ok, I’ll teach both of you. Come on.”

>>Timeskip

Kaito and Rin got along really well. At first Kaito was hesitant but even though he told her that he was a half demon, she didn’t seem to mind and they played with each other. I had taught them a bit on how to read and write, we did some sewing together and then they played in the garden as I watched them.

Sesshomaru pov:

I heard Rin’s laughter from the garden. And along with hers was another person’s laughter. I narrowed my eyes and exited the study to see what was going on. I stared as Rin played with the half demon child. She seemed happy….that smile of hers that I hadn’t seen in quite a while. Everytime a slave took care of her, she got hurt, but now she seemed happy.

I looked around and the new slave was watching them with a smile. She seemed to enjoy watching them and I couldn’t take my eyes off her. For a human, I couldn’t help but say she was attractive in some respect. [a/n: lol, I don’t think Sesshy would call anyone beautiful, at least not right away :P] She looked calm and…..satisfied. She rested her chin on her hand and chuckled as they threw flowers in the air and chased each other.

She sighed and looked at the forest beyond the castle walls. Her eyes looked distant, but I wanted her eyes to meet mine. They were a light shade of violet, not a common trait I had seen in other humans. She turned and noticed that I was standing there. But when her gaze met mine, I felt a sudden shock run through me. My right hand twitched uncomfortably.

She smiled and stood up and gave a bow. “Hello, Lord Sesshomaru.” Her voice was like honey and I clenched my jaw. What was this Sesshomaru thinking? She is a slave that I bought yesterday. A pathetic foolish human slave. But somehow, she was different from the other slaves that had come here.

No fear. No sudden and foolish attraction to me. I narrowed my eyes. Even now as she smiled to me, I saw happiness and respect and affection, but not in the way other females watched me. She was…..interesting…..

Natsu pov:

I smiled at Sesshomaru. He stood and watched the kids and I could see the fatherly feeling he had for Rin, despite the rumors I had heard about him hating humans.

“Ne chan!” I turned to Kaito who came running to me, but tripped on a stone and fell face first to the ground. I shook my head with a soft smile and walked to him. I helped him up and smiled when I saw his eyes filled with water. I rubbed his cheek with my thumb, getting the dirt off his face and dusted his clothes. “You should be more careful.”

He sniffled but held up a bunch of red flowers for me. I smiled and took them. I smelled their sweet scent. “They’re beautiful. Thank you Kaito!” He grinned and I saw Rin approach me hesitantly. She held out some blue flowers and I took them from her. “They’re lovely Rin. Are they for me?” She shook her head and I held both the gift close to my chest. “Thank you.” She smiled and giggled happily.

“Why don’t we put them in your room? Since we will be sharing a room, all of us can see them.” I suggested and Rin squealed. She ran to me and hugged me but froze and pulled away immediately. I blinked. “Whats wrong Rin?” “I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to hug you.” She apologized and I chuckled. “I don’t mind you hugging me.” She giggled again and hugged me. I saw Kaito pout and hug me too, trying to get as much of me as Rin was. I laughed and lifted both of them in my arms. “Don’t worry, equal share for both of you.”

“Onna.” I looked at Sesshomaru and he was staring intensely. I put the kids down and patted their heads. “Why don’t you go and get ready for bed. Its almost bed time. I’ll come once Lord Sesshomaru is done talking with me.” They nodded vigorously and ran into the castle. I giggled and shook my head as I turned to Sesshomaru.

He was still scrutinizing me. “Rin seems to have taken a liking to you.” I just nodded not really knowing what to say. “You are very different from other humans…..why?” I raised my brows. “Um…..I didn’t know I was different. I’m pretty normal actually.” I shrugged. I didn’t know if I was being formal enough because I was either too formal or too casual when I spoke to people. Since it was either general Natsu or the Natsu who played with kids and friends like an idiot.

He narrowed his eyes and frowned. My eyes went slightly wide when I felt his hand brush my cheek softly. I stared into his eyes. They were very beautiful. Like liquid pools of gold and they shimmered in the moonlight. I felt mesmerized by them and blinked when his face got closer to mine. Instinctively I leaned back but his hand held me in place.

Now his face was so close, I could feel his breath and his nose was touching mine. His eyes closed and he bent his head to my neck. He inhaled my scent deeply and I felt heat rush to my cheeks. He was so close to me and his breath fanned my neck. I felt goosebumps erupt and I gasped when his tongue barely touched my skin. My heart pounded and I pushed him back roughly.

I took shuddery breaths and stared at him with wide eyes and a flushed face clutching my neck that tingled. He just stared back emotionlessly as if nothing had happened and I looked away. I heard shuffling and I snapped my head up, afraid he would try something like that again, but he had turned around.

“Onna.” I flinched. “Y-yes?” “If Rin gets hurt in any way, I will kill you.” He said simply and walked off. I felt my legs go weak and I leaned against the wall. What the hell was that?! I closed my eyes and shook my head. Taking deep breaths, I calmed down and headed to Rin’s room. When I entered, Rin and Kaito were already in their night clothes and were sitting on Rin’s bed and playing with some stuffed toys.

Seeing them, I felt myself relax a little. I smiled when they squealed and ran to me giving a hug. I placed them on the bed and got out a mattress to sleep on the floor, but Rin insisted that we all sleep together on her bed since it was big enough for all of us. I chuckled and got in with them.

Kaito slept next to me and Rin slept next to him. I pulled the covers over us and patted both of them till they were asleep. When they fell asleep, I laid on my back and stared at the ceiling.

Why did he do that just now? It completely caught me off guard and I freaked out and after that he pretended like it never happened. I sighed and closed my eyes.

How was I gonna survive in this crazy place?
