Yuma lurked quietly in the alleys and shadows. Only allowing people a glance before hiding. The shadows made him feel safe despite being a pure spirit, they reminded him of who he served. A spirit losing their free will is not unheard of, spirits get forced into contracts and deals all the time. No one has ever done that to a gate keeper spirit however, this was a huge problem anyone could gain access to the heavens if they had a gate keeper in their thrall.

He was beginning to be careless in being hidden, and sure enough someone who knew him saw him and immediately called out to him. "Yuma? Where have you been?" Yuma recognized the voice of the red haired human he saw as a sister. But nothing is his heart registered an emotion so without a warning he took off trying to get away. "Yuma wait!"

Akairi soon gave chase trying to catch up with him. The spirit continued to run he couldn't be caught, his masters order. "Be seen but do not get caught." The chase lasted awhile, ending when the human had to catch her breath. Worry filled her she knew something was wrong with her brother. She saw the charm on his neck and knew it was not good.

Yuma fled the area haven taken his fox form. He soon returned to the abandoned office building he and his master have taken residence in. He looked at Vector laying down in his lap letting out a small whining sound.

"Little fox what happened? Did you run all the way here?" Vector asked faking concern. He held no concern for the fox he was only a tool after all.

"I was chased by a human who is like family... she would not stop chasing me, I eventually lost her however." Yuma said quietly still in his fox form.

Vector ran his hand across the foxes head black ears twitched in content. He had to admit the fox was beautiful pitch black with red eyes. Looking at him you would not tell he was a heavenly spirit. Granted it was not the spirits true fox form.

"Dark, get in touch with your brother, show him we have the fox. It is time for our game to start." Vector let out a quiet chuckle watching the spirit fall asleep.

"Of course. Time to lure him to the dark."  The shadow spirit left a smirk on his face. Time to pay his brother a visit.
