Shadow Heart

Chapter 37:Affection

————-Nxy————

When I woke up, I was in my bed behind the carnival. Me and the rest of my troupe practically live at the carnival. I like living there, though, and so does the rest of my troupe. Well, I mean, it's not like we have anywhere else to stay. We couldn't afford a proper house anyway.

"Cheshire. Nxy. My darling kitten. If you can hear me wake up. WAKE THE FUCK UP."

I felt something slapping my face over, and over again. That must have been what woke me up, but the weirdest part is that it is physically impossible to wake me up from one of my cat naps. By physically impossible I mean physically impossible. Even then I hate being disturbed in my sleep. So I started hissing at whoever was slapping me because whenever I get extremely tired, my brain resorts back to my cat instincts, which means basically I act like a cat.

"Get off of me, I was having a peaceful sleep."

"I know you were but someone requested that I give a note to you."

I rub my eyes and finally get up, even though I was still really really tired. At first my sight was really foggy and I couldn't see a thing but when my eyes adjusted to the light, I couldn't believe who I saw. Gumi. My sister. My darling sister. She wasn't attacking anyone. She was back to normal. Lucis plan must have worked. I'll tell you something. The thing about Lucifer is that even though he has some unorthodox methods he does get the job done.

Gumi then hands me a ball of yarn which I immediately start playing with. A ball of yarn is my ultimate weakness. Whenever someone gives me it I immediately start acting the exact same way that I do when I'm tired except I automatically am in an amazing mood. Like Kuyjin could be dying in the corner and if you were to chuck me a ball of yarn I wouldn't care. According to Gumi I always look the cutest when I'm acting like a cat.

Gumi doesn't actually have cat features though. They must have skipped her. I've asked people who knew my parents and according to them I was more like my mother and my sister was more like my father in terms of both personality and looks. I never knew either of them so I don't know if that is a good thing or a bad thing.

"Gumi WHAT THE FUCK HAPPENED TO YOU. You're well NORMAL."

"I don't really know. For whatever reason I forgot about you at some point for some reason and now I mysteriously remember. I'm so sorry for what happened Nxy. Maybe the mysterious note will explain things."

She hands me a note with heart embroidered on it and even before opening it I could tell even before opening it that Luci wrote it. Like the back was literally covered in red and pink plus it said to my little lamb on the back of it. If that doesn't scream Lucifer I don't know what does. I turn it over quickly and begin to read the back. It read...

To Nxy

I wrote this so i could explain to you what's going on because Kazuha is waiting on me to give her special treatment. Obviously the plan we discussed in our first conversation worked. The effects of the apple should be in place. If I were you I'd make the most of the fact that I got rid of her brainwashing. You've been doing everything perfectly so far. Hopefully everything will fall into place soon. You trust me right.

Love from Luci.

"I tried reading it and i couldn't understand a thing so i thought that you could maybe make some sense of it. Please don't tell me that you're friends with that pervert though."

"Don't worry. I hate him. I don't even know what he's going on about to be honest. I can't understand it either."

Then almost unexpectedly she comes out of nowhere and gives me a tight hug. Big sissy always knew how to give the best hugs. My tail wraps around her as she gives my ears a little scratch. In case you don't know I love ear scratches though don't touch my tail because well I hate it. By that time I had woken up completely. I mean if I was to be woken up by anyone i guess I'd choose my sister. I mean I don't even know if I can express in words how much I love her.

"Please. Promise me that you won't leave me again. It felt so lonely without you."

"Promise on my life Cheshire."

Collette then enters from the room next to us. She must have just woken up herself. You should've seen the shock on her face when she saw the two of us. It's like she saw a miracle. I was going to try to explain things to her but I was too comfortable in my sisters embrace to even move or speak. All I do is stand there hugging her tightly because I was scared that if I was to let go that i would lose her again. She was my everything. Honestly I don't know how I survived without her. Gumi I love you.
