Shoto woke up with a note taped on his face.

My dear Shoto,

I needed to go down to breakfast but you were sleeping so peacefully. I simply couldn't bring myself to wake you. I told the chefs to leave you some food in the kitchen so if your hungry just take the passage I showed you.

Your one and only
Vox Akuma

Shoto was honestly a little surprised. He didn't think Vox would be able to leave him in a room anymore now that he had been shown to be healthy enough to go out.

Vox was the one who knew best though so he did give it any more thought. Instead he want to the painting Vox had said was the door and made his way through the sloped hall the the kitchen below.

The food was once afine western style being ham and eggs sitting between two pieces of odd looking bread and drizzled with an interesting smelling sauce.

There was a note agin in different handwriting.

Mr.Shoto

Lord Akuma told us to leave this in a place you could find it should you venture into the kitchen. It is a dish called Eggs Benedict, a new meal we are trying. We all hope it is satisfactory for you.

The chefs

'Interesting. I've never heard of this before.'

Shoto was very excited to try this new food. He didn't know what the odd bread or sauce was or tasted like but the thing smelled amazing.

It took him one bite to fall in love. The way all the flavors blended was amazing.

The moment didn't last long. The door for the kitchen flung open making the poor boy flinch and dropped the meal to the floor and hid as fast has he could.

"Milord, is it really safe for him to be allowed to roam around? What if he gets found by-" the female demon stoped talking when the two saw the fallen food.

"It's been eaten? And on the floor?" Voxes low voice rang through the room. It made Shoto relax a little. He knew now that if he was caught now at least Vox can protect him a little.

"Did he not like it?" The female sounded offended and a little mad. It put Shoto on edge. What if she lashed out at him next she saw him?

"I don't think that it." The was a slight laugh to his voice that relaxed Shoto agin.

"Shoto, it's ok come on out." He tensed up completely when he said that. What about the girl? Will she attack him? Will it be verbal or physical? Will she not do anything and just stare at him? Will she hate him on principle?

"The girl with me is an ally, her name is Mikomo and I trust her with my life." Very hesatentlty Shoto came out from his spot.

His face was hot and he looked anywhere but at their eyes.

Vox chuckled agin and walked over.

"Mikomo, I'd like to personally introduce you to our friend Shoto. He is slow to trust but I would like both of you to know that I think you two would get along great if you get to know each other." The female demon, Mikomo smiled at him with a warmth that he hadn't felt from anyone but his mother.
