July 10th – Sunday Morning

It's been more than a month since her trip with HOMRA to the beach house. She was enjoying herself knowing she finally found her family after many years but since the start of July her mother, Yuki Shibata, had taken the turn for the worst. Cancer had started getting more aggressive and her lungs were starting to fail.

"... It's only a matter of time..." She mumbled to herself. She had woken up early around four in the morning. She sat down on the stool looking down at her cup filled with coffee. She sighed rubbing her eyes tiredly, her eyes moved to the file next to her drink.

"Why now, huh...?" She lightly traced the Gold Clan symbol on the front of the file. She was near the Golden King's territory to check on the man who raised her only for his clansman, the Usagi, to give her this file on behalf of their King.

"—rasu? Karasu?" Looking up she blinked a few times seeing Izumo standing behind the bar looking at her.

"Huh? When did you get here, Izumo?" Izumo looked confused.

"I've been here for ten minutes, Kara. I was shocked to have seen you awake."

"Aa, I couldn't sleep last night..."

"Or eat a full meal for that matter." Karasu ran her fingers through her hair.

"Yeah, I know.. I have a lot of things to do right now..."

"Start by telling me why you have a file with the Golden Clan's symbol."

"Do I have too?" She let out a small whine.

"Yes." She frowned but gave the file to him. Izumo took said file out out her hand and opened it reading the forms over.

"These forms..."

"I have to change my name, new passport, everything will be changed so I can have a new identity."

"The Gold King wants you to do this?" He looked at the brunette as she took a sip of her coffee.

"Yes, he knew from the start this would happen and explained the reasoning behind it and I agree with him."

"Are you sure about this whole thing?

"Yeah... As long as their safe from this whole new world they barly know.. If their safe I'm fine with this whole thing." She rubbed her eyes again.

"From what I've seen it looks like it's almost finished but your having trouble with a new surname."

"I'll let the old man pick it out. I'm going to sleep before the rest of the boys get here. Tatara should be getting ready to come down in a bit." She covered her mouth yawning.

"I'll see if I can fill in the blanks on these forms. Get some rest for now."

"Okay.." Izumo watched the brunette walk up the staires before hearing a door open and close. It didn't take a genius to know she went into the lions den. At first Izumo thought it was strange and crazy for the young woman to even come close to Mikoto.  He knew Mikoto Suoh for a long time, the amber eyed man didn't let people into his circle. It wasn't like he could complain. It was quite amusing to see his dear friend actually be close to someone who wasn't a clansman of HOMRA. Especially a young woman who could take on their King without lifting a finger. Izumo sighed shaking his head with a small smile.

"She'll be surprised once she wakes up."

*~*

Karasu yawned stretching rolling over onto her stomach hugging the pillow closer to her. Mikoto stared at her as she slept. It was almost dusk and she was still sleeping. He had been asleep when she decided to come to bed, as soon as she got comfortable she easily knocked out. He reached his hand out towards the young woman moving a strand of hair from her face. This motion caused Karasu to let out a sigh, snuggling into his hand.

"I'm tired, lion." She mumbled moving away from the pillows to lay next to the amber eyed man.

"Get up."

"I don't want too."

"Get up." Karasu made a whining noise before opening her eyes.

"Meanie." She rolled over her back facing him before pulling the blanket over her head. Mikoto scowled, letting out a grunt of disapproval before getting out of bed. Standing at the end of the bed he grabbed the blanket yanking it out off her and onto the floor leaving Karasu in her pajamas. She sat up in bed glaring at the red head.

"Suoh! You big meanie! Get out!" She grabbed the pillows from the bed throwing them at him. She could tell he was annoyed but she didn't care.

"Kusanagi!!" Down staires Izumo, Tatara and the others looked up at the ceiling. Tatara smiled letting out a light laugh as Izumo chuckled.

"Looks like King woke up the Queen this time."

"Wonder what he did to get her angry? Oh well, might as well go see what that idiot did this time." Walking out from behind the bar Izumo made his way upstairs standing in front of the room belonging to both King and Queen before opening the door.

"What's going on here?" He asked amusingly. On the bed Mikoto was leaning over the brunette holding her wrists with one hand as the brunette struggled under him.

"Get off!" She growled at Mikoto who seemed to be enjoying seeing her struggle, he smirked causing Karasu to narrow her eyes at him. She looked over at the door, her face flushed red seeing Izumo leaning against the doorframe with his arms crossed over his chest watching them with an amused expression.

"Did I interrupt something?"

"Just get him off me!" Once again she struggled against the hold of the man on top of her.

"Come now, Mikoto. Leave her alone, she just got up. That reminds me, Mayumi called and asked when are you coming to see her."

"When did she call?"

"An hour ago." She cursed under her breath and starred at them man above her.

"Mikoto, come down stairs will ya." Izumi left the room closing the door behind him.

"Move." She spoke narrowing her eyes when she saw something shine in his amber eyes. She yanked at her hands that were still being held down by his left hand, his right hand was placed next to her waist.

"Suoh, I swear if you don't— Wha- what do you think you're doing?!" Mikoto had leaned down still holding her wrists in a firm grip. Karasu had turned her head ever so slightly with a rosy tint on her cheeks as Mikoto marked her as his.

"Mine." He mumbled against her skin. She bit her lip trying to get out of his grasp, she lifting her legs wrapping them around his waist lifting her hips she had hoped to have pushed him off, even just a little but he wouldn't budge. His right hand came to her hips, he let his body drop on top of hers, his eyes not once left her own.

"Mi-Mikoto..." Karasu looked away from him. She let out a small moan feeling his lips on her neck again. He released his grip on her wrists his hand trailing down the side of her body causing her to shiver. His hand stopped, resting against her left thigh.

"Mikoto.. I- I have to— nah~" Her arms instintly went to his shoulder clenching onto his shirt as he bit down on the sensitive skin.

"You aren't going anywhere." He growled out.

"I have too.." Karasu turned her head to the nightstand hearing her phone ringing. She reached out her hand towards the phone she was flipped over so she was straddling Mikoto as he laid beneath her. The phone stopped ringing.

"Y-you—" Karasu felt like her face was on fire seeing the position she was in. She knew, oh, she knew Mikoto was enjoying this side of her.

"Heh." She glared at him when he let out a laugh.

"Why I outta—" She was cut off by her phone going off again. She snatched her phone off the nightstand answering the phone.

"I'm on my way. I'm going to be late I have to drop something off somewhere." She held out her phone when Mayumi started yelling I to the receiver. She hanged up the phone letting out a sigh.

"You aren't going."

"I am." She got off him getting out of bed walking towards the door, looking behind her she saw Mikoto had an annoyed look, he took out a cigeratte from his pocket placing it in mouth letting it lazily hang from his lips. She smiled opening the door closing it behind her as she got ready in Anna's room.
