Kisses {WxW}

{Chapter 6}

The next few days Kisses spent mostly in her room or with Mimi in the kitchen as she made her food. Food was weird to Kisses, she preferred simpler food that didn't have a lot of texture. It made cooking for Kisses more a problem since she just couldn't digest something on the feel of it, it made her cringe when eating.
Mimi was pretty happy to try meals in her favor though even though she didn't really get it as she was one who could eat mostly anything digestible and still like it.

Kisses were mostly laying around, she felt really empty lately. When she was outside at least she had adrenaline even if she felt tired. Now though with nothing to preoccupy her she felt that emptiness grow. A weird cold feeling.

Kisses sighed, laying her head on her pillow. Mimi has been making copies of her dress, she was attentive to her which she appreciated but, it made her pretty jittery around her at times. She likes Mimi, she can just be overbearing at times, she was strangely protective of her. Kisses could barely go into the backyard until a few days ago.
Kisses sighed into her pillow, she was having trouble sleeping these days as well. When she was in bed at night she tossed a lot till she was able to sleep. It's been a few days since she's woken up, at this point she should be able to have a normal sleeping schedule.

Kisses snapped out her thoughts by a knock on the door before it was opened before she could respond.

A black cat entered, the same one as the one she saw when she left and met Ebony. He was a black cat with no eyes, he wore more of a fancy ouji style clothes and a monocle for show. The left arm had a basket over it while the other held the door.

"My Lady, would you like to accompany me in the forest to collect some berries? You prefer fruit do you not" The black cat that Kisses learned was named Sebastion asked in the doorway. His voice had an elegant soft tone, a different type of care than Mimi, less brash and protective but more willing and gentle.

Kisses sat up on her bed. She twiddled with her thumbs looking down at her knees before grazing one of her ears with her hands.
"Won't Mimi get upset if I leave?" Kisses asked cautiously.

"The Master won't get mad at you, my Lady. If anything is to happen I will take the fault for it." Sebastian said soothingly, making Kisses feel calm.
Kisses nodded before realizing he couldn't see her so she walked over to him instead and tugged on the ruffles inside his sleeves hinting to him her response. She still was getting used to speaking constantly, her voice came out so soft.

Sebastian understood and let his hand land on the upper part of Kisses back to help make sure he knew where she was and drifted them both to the entrance to the house before leaving. Kisses stumbled a bit when let outside and let herself look around at the sky above. She hasn't had much opportunity to look at the environment around her because most of the time she was outside it was night-time or that one time it was day she was running from wolves.

Sebastian stopped suddenly and crouched down on the ground. Kisses looked over his shoulder and saw as he let his finger drift over the bushes where bunches of strawberries laid. His walking cane was placed to the side at the moment.
"Can I help Sir?" Kisses said in a whisper. He simply nodded knowing she was next to her, he could see the shadows of her figure.

Kisses held out her hands and slowly began to pluck out the strawberries as well, the berry bush had pricks in a similar way a rose bush would. Sebastian was letting himself hum a melody as Kisses listened and tried to concentrate.
In her visual eyesight she noticed something in the bushes. Wanting to get what was inside, her curiosity got the better of her as she dipped her arms inside the bushes.

Kisses grabbed it but quickly pulled out with a 'yap' of pain as the prickles of the bushes attacked at her arms making her bleed on the grass below. Sebastian quickly attended to her asking what was wrong.
"I just... got pricked by the bushes" Kisses said embarrassed as she looked at her arms before looking at the doll.

It was a rag doll dressed in the way a scarecrow would be, seeing another doll made her happy. The fabric was torn in some places on the doll's purple and orange dress which made some of the straw on the inside come out but, Kisses didn't really mind.
"I'm a doll too" Kisses whispered out enamored.

""Huh?" Sebastian asked Kisses as he was holding her arm covering up where he could feel the bleeding with a handkerchief.
Kisses blushed "I found a doll." Kisses said nervously as she tucked her face in her shoulder and squeezed the doll slightly for comfort.

Sebastian just sighed before standing up. They had enough berries for the day anyways. Washing Kisses wounds would be a more important task at the moment right now. He could already understand the lecture that his Master would give him when she saw Kisses and found out he brought her outside. It was expected of him after she hasn't bonded with anyone but the few servants in the house in a long time. Her protectiveness was common, but with Kisses it became more intense then it usually was.

"Come with me my Lady" Sebastian said, giving Kisses his hand and he could hear her give him a quiet hum in response as he picked up his cane as well. He once again laid a hand on her back as they began to walk back to the stony house knowing Kisses still didn't know how to navigate through the forest yet. Her body had a coldness to it, maybe she needed more warmth. He should request his Master to add more comfort to her bed in that case.

It was a good time to leave anyways, he didn't say anything to Kisses to avoid scaring her but now that he was touching her on her back slightly he could hear the slight sounds of growls of wolves growling and hungry for rabbit.
