Hijo blinked when he heard her come in.Looking over to her he miled."wow ... you look amazeing"

Yukian looked at him for a moment then gave her self some food thanksing the person who brought in the food then , started eating she smiled.The food was delishous.

She paused mid stride when he said that her eyes going wide eyed. “ummmm… thanks” she said softly as her cheeks turned a soft pink. He kept catching her off guard in was almost maddening. She began to walk for forward again only taking a few more steps toward him. she then looked around the large room, hating the silence she began to talk small talk.

“so… does anyone else live here with you?”

*************

he finished his food in silence once he was done he pushed his plate away and turned to watch Yukina. He watched her tail and her cat ears. He had only seen a few demons show off their ears and tail. And he had to say she look adorable with them. he was even tempted to touch them but he decided better on it not knowing how she would react to such a touch.

“did lynn help you find everything last night” he asked suddenly. He knew his servent would but he still felt the need to ask.

Yukina blinked and looked at him.And nodded."yes she helped me fine every thing just fine...shes very kind",she said with a bright smile.Then when she was done she colected some of the plates."i'll take thease to the kitchen"

---------------------------

Hijo blinnked and shook his head.'no.. its just me most of the time... the only time someone else is here is when im freeing slaves well, former slaves ...",he said streing at a pitture of his parenst for a moment then loked away and out the window."although there use to be others liveing here at one time..."

“who..?” she asked softly. So he did live alone in this big place. She couldn’t even imagine that kind of loneliness. Well she could… she had been a slave after all but she had never lived in such a large place.


***********

Daemon nodded acknowledging her words. He stood up after she left and headed out to inspect his home and grounds. Making sure that lynn knew to fallow Yukina around for the first few days until she was used to her new surroundings.

Yukina came back and not seeing Daemon she frowned.Then again he was her master , and he had plenty of other slavesto be with.Siging she went along doing her chorse and such.And being so use to cleaning and such she was done by noon. She then looked around for something to do.Hearing the door bel ring she blinked not knowing what she should do.
--------------------------------------------
"my parents and my little brother..."

“what happen to them” her hands flew to her mouth. She hadn’t meant to ask that out loud. He seemed upset but the situation and she didn’t want to make it worst. She fidgeted for a moment then sighed. Well the damage was already done.

**********

he heard the doorbell rang and made his way over to the door. as he made his way to the door he walked past Yukina. He touched her shoulder and told her to move to a different room as another servant walked over and readied himself at the door ready to answer it. Daemon wasn’t one for company and he certainly wasn’t expecting anyone right now. he wanted to make sure all of his female slaves were well away from the room before he let the door open. He knew the few men that worked for him could protect themselves but he was never sure about the women. He just felt a need to protect. He nodded to his servant that was standing at the door and he opened it.

Hijo looked to her."they died in ... areally bad axident years ago",he said softly.

--------------------------

Yukina jumped slightly when he touched her sholder but nodded to his order and went up the staisr and went to her room.

A man smiled as the door open.'good afternon",the man said bowing.."im looking for Mr.Daemon"

She hadn’t meant to make him feel sad and now she was upset with herself because of it. pushing her hesitation aside she walked over to him and sat beside him. they weren’t exactly touching but they were close. “I’m sorry” she said gently

***********

Daemon walk to the door as it opened he stood in front of the doorway blocking any attempt the man might have of entering his home his servant moved off to the side to wait for orders while Daemon answered the man.

“I am Daemon” his voice was like steel as he stood unmoving in the doorway.

The man looked at Daemon and smiled.'hello Mr.Daemon .. i am aware that you had puchaced a slave , yestereday i think her name was Yukina .. shes my friend , i was a slave with her a few years ago , and i have been looking for her for a few years, please if shes here can i at least see her?"

--------------------------------------

Hijo blinked lookng at her."its okay...",he said with a smile."it happened a long time ago"

Daemon’s face remained straight as he studied the man in front of him. he didn’t like him his intentions seemed to unclear. “if you were a slave how were you freed?” he wasn’t about to let this man into his house and he wasn’t about to call Yukina into the room until he knew a little more about the situation.

**********

Aurora nodded suddenly shy of the whole situation. She had trouble dealing with upset people she was never a good comforter. So she kept silent normally she would have touched him as a way to give strength but she didn’t know him well enough yet to do that.

The man looked at him.'i ran away .. and kept running .... once i had gotten far enough from my former masters home , i started doing odd jobs and erned money to hae a decent life"

---------------------------------------------------------------------

Hijo sighed and then smiled at her."well aare you tierd yet?"

Aurora nodded. “I little” she wasn’t sure why she had after all been on a tranquilizer for most of the day but then again it had been a stressful day… she just wasn’t sure how well she would sleep in a new environment.

************

Daemon wasn’t sure if he believed his story or not but he figured the least he could do was to ask Yukina. “hold on one second” he told the man at the door then turned and in low undertones. He asked the male servant to find Yukina and to ask her if she knew of this man. He was hoping that Yukina would think about it before just stepping out in the open and exposing herself but that was probably him just being over protective. he watched as the servant leave to find her.

Hijo nodded."in that cace , lets go get you setteled into your newbedroom",he said getting up.

Yukina who was starting to get curious of who was at the door blinked when a servent came in and told her that Daemon needed her.Blinking she nodded and went to the stares as she thought over who the man at the door might be.There was one friend she had but ... he had died ... didnt he?.She stopped when she reached the bottom of the stairs and waited.Then walking over to Daemon she stopped and froze.There , before her was a former master, the kne who had nearly beat her to death ... the one wwo gave her the scars on her back...the who...Fear came over Yukinas face as the man smiled slyly at her. Haveing the horible memories rush back to her she screamed out "NO!" ,and ran off trying to find a place to hide .Running to the back doors she ran out into the guarden and she sat on the ground huddeled up to herself,by a bush of flowers.

“alright” she said meekly as she stood to fallow him.

**********

His temper flared when he saw her reaction and she fled one look from him and the male servant went to fallow her. in the blink of an eye he was out the door and holding the man by the throat. He had known the other male was trouble and he should have acted on it sooner.

“how dare you distress one of mine” his voice held barely controlled anger as his energy flared. He wanted to rip this man apart but decided better on it… for now. choking the man for good measure he hissed out. “if I ever see you again your life will be forfeit to me.” shoving the man a good couple feet away he slammed the door shut and told a few of the guards he kept around to escort him off the premises. He then left to find Yukina.

Once he found her he wasn’t sure he wanted to approach her and it appeared ether did his servant who he had found a few feet away. Taking a breath to sooth his anger, knowing that it would only frighten her more, he moved forward calmly stopping a few inches from her he knelt down. “are you alright?”

Hijo smiled as she lead her to her room and smiled."i hope you enjoy the big confey bed"

Yukian jumped slightly and looked up at him,she had tears in her eyes and she shook her head.

“umm… thank you” she told him before she went to the bed that was to be hers and laid down. she wasn’t sure if she could sleep in this new place but she was going to try.

*********

he sighed inwardly, why hadn’t he just turn the man away from the start. Now she was distressed and he wasn’t sure if she would accept his touch. He inched closer to her and held out his hand to her.

“come back inside I wont let anything happen to you” he said it seriously and this way he’d know if she felt ok with being touched by him or at lease accepting his protection.

Yukina looked at him then at his hand and took it gently and nodded."o-okay ...i trust you",she said softly.

Hijo smiled."sweet dreams",he said then left the room closeing the door behind him.

After a little while of laying awake she finally fell asleep. Waking up the next morning still slightly tired because of the broken sleep she had had.

************

Wow he hadn’t expected it to be that easy though he couldn’t say he wasn’t pleased that she had accepted him so easily. Closing his hand around hers lightly he helped her stand. “come the house is much safer” he than began to lead her inside.

Kimaru had been uo for hours and was down stairs cooking breakfeast.He smiled when he was finished and went to the stairs and called out, "breakfeast",then went back to the kitchen and started to set the table.

Yukina nodded as she followed him and moved a bit closely to him and was shakeing a little.

Hearing his call she dragged herself up and got dressed. She threw on a loose fitting shirt and pants and headed down to where she could smell food. She peeked into the kitchen seeing Hijo she moved quietly into the kitchen. “morning” she said tiredly.

************

he could feel her shaking and pulled his hand out of hers to wrap it around her shoulders pulling her closer. Once they were inside he sent the servants in the area off to do other things. He pulled her over to a couch and released her as he sat down indicating that she should sit too. “who was that man?”

Hijo looked at her and smiled."morning",he then looked at her.'after eating your welcome to go back to bed",he said with a smile.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Yukina sat on the couch beside him and sighed."h-he was a-an old master i had when i was little",she said looking to the floor.

“Thanks but I think I’ll be ok” she responded as she moved further into the kitchen. The food smelt good and she could already feel her stomach growling. She stopped a few feet away from him and studied him she didn’t know why she felt the need to but she did, and what she saw surprised her. “so your really not going to keep me as a slave are you?”

**********

Daemon nodded so he had been an old master huh, then why had he gone searching for her? “you don’t need to tell me any more then that if you don’t want to” he said gently to her as he rested a hand on her shoulder. He then stood up and looked down at her. she was clearly still a little distressed. “I am giving you the day today. You may do as you please you can explore the home or the gardens though I do ask that you have someone with you at all times while you are outside…. Or you can stay with me” he wasn’t sure which he felt more comfortable with but he defiantly didn’t like the idea of her being outside.

Yukina blinked and looking at him she smiled a little."c-can i really stay w-with you"

Kimaru smiled."i ment what i said, your free to do as you please , just wait a little while if you deside you want to leave .. just in case",sh e sid setting the table.

She took a seat at the table completely dumfounded and she was sure it was plainly written on her face. It was true? She was really going to be able to enjoy a run in the sun to feel the wind in her fur? She could almost feel the tears in her eyes. “so you mean I can…” she wasn’t sure if she dare say it out loud. For two years she had been stuck with the slavers and every time she had tried to take on her wolfen form they had severely beat her. would he actually allow her to…

*************

His heart almost melted when she asked so sweetly. “of course sweet heart” he paused slightly where had that come from? Pushing it aside he held his hand out to her “if you so wish to you may accompany me today”

Hijo looked back at her."theose slavers told me what you were so ues , feel free to run around, but for now just stay in the back yard,okay?",he askedher kindly.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Yukina was nearly threw off my the hole swet heart thing ,bu she smiled as she took his hand ."alright,then i will",she said hapily.
