It's been almost a week since the incident with Susano. I finally went back to my apartment, and Anatsu is taking this opportunity to cling to me like never before. At the moment, I had just came home from work, and Anatsu was in my bedroom doorway, in nothing but an extremely long towel.

"Go put some clothes on," I said, rubbing my head.

Anatsu pouted slightly, and disappeared into my room. I tiredly made my way to my kitchen. I sat down at my table, and rested my head on the counter top.

"Katsune? You okay?" I looked up, and saw Zashiki.

"Yeah, just really exhausted. I've been working extra hard to make up for the days I missed," I explained.

My hair was everywhere, and bits of it were in my face. I was too tired to move them. Zashiki looked at me with worry, and he disappeared. Anatsu came in, wearing a kimono as usual.

"Whats up?" He asked.

"I'm tired, that's what's up," I said.

"Alright. What me to put you to bed?" He asked.

"Ha! Try it, I dare you," I said not moving an inch.

Anatsu walked over, and picked me up. I narrowed my eyes at him, but kept myself limp. He carried me to my room, and set me down on the bed. Afterwards, he jumped to his side of the bed, and I flew off the bed.

"Hey! Next time, don't make me fly!" I exclaimed, smiling.

"Okay....Hey, ever since you started wearing that bandana Susano gave you you've been really different," he replied, smiling.

I looked at the bandana around my wrist, and smiled.

"Hey! Hello? Anatsu to Katsune," I looked at Katsune and smiled.

"What? Getting lonely when I'm two feet away?" I said, getting off the floor.

"Well, I just don't want you sleeping on the floor. It's cold down there," he said.

I got back up on the bed, and rolled my eyes. Anatsu wrapped his arms around me, and clung to my side. I smiled, and he looked up at me with his own smile.

"Well, I like the cold, remember?" I said.

I felt something hot near my neck. Anatsu was lightly licking my collarbone.

"Quit it weirdo," I said, smiling, and putting my hand on his face.

"Awe, fine..." He said, cuddling into my side.

Anatsu closed his eyes, and as I closed mine I saw a shadowy figure in the corner of my eye. My eyes shot open, and I saw a man in my room. He looked like Kagura, but his hair was another looking. I woke up Anatsu, and he moved in front of me, protectively.

"Who are you, and what do you want?" Anatsu asked.

"Anatsu...." The figure said as it stepping into a more clear view.

I jumped up, and rushed at the man. I went to kick his leg out from under him, and he dodged it, grabbing my leg as I swung it towards his head. He twisted my leg, and the me to the floor. He pinned me under his foot, and looked at Anatsu.

"Pathetic! You just lounge about with this girl, and don't even make a motion on taking power. You're as bad as your brother!" The man exclaimed.

"Shut up Dad! Let her go," Anatsu said.

"It seems to me, like you haven't even made move to symbol any kind of sexual experience with her. You're pathetic," the man said.

"You shut your mouth!" I snarled.
