Walking down the long, dark corridor of a house. Yasha was visibly shaking as she held her arms tightly. 'Shut up......'

'What? I'm just saying.. something could probably jump out and......'

"Get ya!" The ten year old let out a loud scream but quickly covered her mouth as a pair of hands were on her shoulders. The demon that had came out of her currently laughing off at the frightened girl. The black haired girl had an embarrassed blush as she sniffled. Trying to fight back tears that had started forming as she shook her head. "Shukaku that wasn't funny!" 

"It was funny to me!" The demon said as he had his eyes covered while continuing to laugh at her. To him; scaring her was the best thing. "Oh man you're face was priceless.."


Sure, he was having his own fun, but it was taking a bad toll on Yasha. The girl having not been able to sleep for weeks out of the few years she had been here. Her letting go of her arm only to wipe her eyes. 

"Scaredy-cat.." The sand demon mocked and rolled his eyes. Even with her fear being fun, the tears that usually followed weren't. Mainly cause there was only one person that would help her stop it. That would always end up with him getting scolded and frozen. Both of which he didn't want to deal with this late at night. 

"Jeez, Yasha it's a joke. Deal with it.." Shukaku said before she had already ran off. Him groaning out before turning into sand.

Yasha had ran up to a door she knew well. Though, knowing he was sleeping in there, didn't want to be disturbed at this time. She sniffled a bit before letting out a small breath, turning the knob and slowly opening the creaky door. 

Not a sound was made from the one laying in the bed. 

"Eizan..? Are you awake?" She said in a loud whisper as she tip-toed over to the bed. Grey, teary looking at the young teens Snow White hair. 

"I am now.." He said in an emotionless mutter as he kindly rolled over. Now being on his back with his eyes still closed. Him letting out a small breath of annoyance as his grey eyes locked with hers. Him blinking as his expressions barely changed. He was never one to show how he was feeling or relatively what; as if he couldn't express it in the least or simply didn't know how to. Him letting out an inaudible grunt as he scooted over some. Already knowing what the girl was wanting from the moment he laid eyes on her. 

Yasha blinking a couple of times to stop the tears from falling anymore as she scurried onto the bed. Her clinging onto the males waist with little to no hesitation. He never seemed to mind when she did this. It was kindly hard for him to adjust to the girls rapid affection towards him though he forces himself to do it. His right hand slowly wrapping around her waist and going onto her back. Rubbing it to try and calm her and make sure no more tears fall from her delicate face. 

"Now tell me.. what'd the big bad sandman do this time?" He asked while making sure she was calmed before speaking. 

"Well.. he scared me... going back to my room.." 

'The kids gonna get PTSD from this bastard..' Eizan thought internally as he lightly nodded. Letting out a small yawn since his sleep had been interrupted. His hand subconsciously going into her soft, black hair as he stared off at the ceiling. The thirteen year old glancing at her again only to see her body going limp on him. 'Great.. at least she's asleep.' With that thought; he didn't even bother to look towards the door as it had creaked open. "You outta be ashamed.. Shukaku.."

"Ah cmon.. it was only a bit of fun. Lighten up." The demon said and rolled his eyes. Looking annoyed as he let out a small 'tch'. 

"Well as punishment for disrupting my sleep and making her cry.." he said dully as the area around them became freezing cold. "You won't have access to her mind scape til I say so."

"What? Like hell you can--" Before another word could be spoke, the male was frozen solid. Eizan feeling her shivering as she got more on him. Basically being on top of him at this point to try and warm back up. He allowed the temperature to go semi-normal. Him grabbing a blanket and tossing it over the both of them. 


"Sleep well.... my Princess..."
