"Shinazugawa," I said while opening the door to my estate, I was about to continue speaking when Shinazugawa interrupted me.

"You can't just keep some random ass kid you found, you don't even know it's name, and what are you going to say to it when it wakes up. Just tell it it's parents are dead?" Shinazugawas voice sounded mocking, but as he continued speaking his voice got softer and genuine?

I sighed before gesturing for him to come in, closing the door once he was in. "So?" His mocking voice was back. "I don't think the parents treated this child right." I said, holding the child closer to me.

"Why do you think that, the kid looks perfectly fine" "She's really light" "Probably cause it's like 3 or something" At this point I didn't know if he was being serious or sarcastic.

"Well it's staying with me for now...okay Shinazugawa.." I said, while walking past him and going to one of the guest rooms I had. I heard him 'tch' before following me.

"I doubt you would be able to handle a kid, you barely can care for yourself." I stopped walking, surprised by his words. "I care for myself." Was all I could say, biting my tongue so hard I could taste blood.

I opened the guest door, and slowly put the unconscious child on the bed.

"Are you going to tell the master about this?" I turned my head to Shinazugawa, pulling him out of the guest room. "Probably not" I replied to his question.

He only sighed, while turning away and heading for the door. "Tell me when the kid wakes..." He sounded genuine? I hummed a response.

The only noise being heard where his footsteps fading into the distance.

I turned around and walked to the guest room door, sliding down onto the cold floor, I laid there for an hour, slowly drifting into a light sleep.

I don't remember what happened, I don't know where I even am.

I woke up in a small room, the walls where painted a light blue, with some decorative plants in the corner. The bed I woke up in, was soft and really comfy...

I wrapped myself in the soft warming blanket, it felt like being wrapped in a gentle embrace of comfort. I started rolling around on the bed smiling happily, while wrapped in the warmth of the blanket.

*Thud*

I fell off the bed

I gripped the blanket tightly, giggling, then I heard a door click open. I held in a gasp, my small hands covering my mouth, hoping the blanket could hide me.

I heard footsteps coming closer to me, I felt the warmth getting taken away from me as the blanket got pulled away. I looked at the person who was crouching above me.

They had dark blue eyes, with long black hair tied into a low ponytail. "Your up" The person said, voice showing no emotion at all.          "W...who.."

I heard a thud, instantly waking me up, I immediately got up and was about to open the guest room door when I heard giggling from inside it.

Carefully pressing my ear against the door, all I heard was giggling. I decided to slowly open the door, hoping to not scare the child.

When I opened the door I immediately saw the child hide itself in the blanket.

Walking over to the child, I slowly pull the blanket off it, revealing the small frail child, her short black hair was messy, with her eyes slowly opening to look at me.

"Your up" I say, attempting to not scare her anymore. "W...who.." Was all she said, her dark brown eyes inspecting my features. "What's your name..?" I ask, trying to put more emotion into my words, but nonetheless failing.

The girl slowly shifted up into a sitting position, facing me, she wrapped herself in the blanket. "M...my name..." She slowly said, "Ku...kichi" "Your name is Kukichi?" She nodded.

"Okay...how old are you?" "Six..." She said, while showing me six fingers. "Do you have any family?" I ask, hoping she would know any other people. "Mo-mommy...and daddy..." She said, looking down. "But their scary..."

I knew it

"Did they be mean to you?" "To other people..." She said, her fingers started trembling. I carefully patted the girls head, not wanting to scare her I force a small smile.

She flinched a bit, but calmed, her brown eyes filled with tears, as she grabbed my arm and hugged it.
