After walking for sometime they saw a strange man coming towards them. "Hey girls, are you lost?" Said the strange man. "No, were not" replied Sakuhana protectively. Michiko calms Sakuhana down and says "oh no! We're just exploring this forest." "Are you girls finding a place to stay by any chance?" Said the man, michiko replies 'yes, we do need a place to stay. Do you know any?" The man says, "if you want you can stay at a village that's completely empty but safe." Sakuhana nods her head disapprovingly but ends up saying sure. "Great! Follow me I will show you where it is." Replied the man. They all follow the man to the place. "Here it is." The man said. "It's in a very good condition how come no one lives here?" Michiko asked. "I made this place and I wanted to help others and give them a shelter." Replied the man. Sakuhana whispers in michiko's ear. "Does he think that we are strays or something?" Michiko laughs after hearing that. "Let's ask for a tour shall we?" Nekozaki said. "Mhm!" Replied michiko. "Hey mister, can we get a tour?" Une said. "Yes, let me show you around." "There are four houses in total. The second is largest of them all. Come let me show you all of them." (He shows them around) (They are in a room planning for survival) "So, we have got a shelter what should we do next?" Asked michiko. "Train, hunt, cook, live" Nekozaki replied. "That's the essential, haha!" Michiko said. "Hey guys! Me and Hina-chan will be back in sometime." Said Ume. "Okay!" Michiko replied "I wonder what they are up to.." said Sakuhana. "Let's go sleep." Michiko said. "What about Ume and Hina?" Replied Nekozaki. "They said they will be okay." Said Sakuhana. "Okay let's sleep then.." replied Nekozaki.

  (They went to bed; the next day)

  "You're awake! Goodmorning " Sakuhana said "oh, I woke up late didn't I?" Replied michiko. "Of course you did!" Said Sakuhana. "Everyone, please gather at the dining table!" Michiko shouts. "Yes!" Replied all the others. "Hey girls! I brought you guys food." Said the man. "Yes! This is fresh food we brought for our breakfast." Said Ume. "Nee-san can you please serve it to us?" Sakuhana said to Michiko. "Yes! Please sit everyone. I will serve to all!" Replied michiko. (Michiko serves everyone and then sits) "oh wow! You brought us fish! How tasty" Sakuhana said. "Your friend ume told me that you all like fish that's why." Replies the man. "Mm! It smells so good." Said michiko. "Alright everyone, let's start eating." Said her again. "Itadakimasu! (Thanks for the food)" All say together. "It was too tasty, now I'm craving to hunt fish." Said michiko. "Girls, I am heading off today to another place I have to protect others from the hunters " said the man. "Okay! Can you show us the Market?" Ume says and then runs out with Hina. "So.. He knows the hunters are hunting and this he is like Miyo and is helping others?" Said Sakuhana. "I think so, that is true. He is a good guy." Replied michiko. Meanwhile Nekozaki is starring at them really confused. "Do you guys wanna help me in sewing new clothes? Miyo only had one for us each, but we can't just wear the same thing everyday! It will start smelling eventually." Said michiko. "You're right! I will help you!" Said Sakuhana. "I will help too!" Said Nekozaki. "You guys are great! Let's get working now" replied michiko. (They are shown sewing new clothes) (In evening) "Oh! Ume!" Michiko says. Ume replies "yes? What's wrong?" Sakuhana comes and starting starring michiko. Michiko notices and laughs. "Can you please me cook waffles and tiramisu?" Michiko says "omg! Tiramisus are so hard to make but I'm a cooking expert. Not a big deal!" Replied Ume. "That's why I asked you, idiot!" Michiko says and then laughs "can you look up the recipe of waffle on my phone?" Michiko says. "Of course! It requires.. flour, eggs, milk, butter, baking powder, and sugar." Replied Sakuhana. "And what about tiramisu!" Michiko said "The ingredients for that are... Ladyfingers, mascarpone cheese, eggs, sugar, coffee, cocoa powder, cognac, vanilla extract, dark chocolate and double cream" replied Sakuhana. "Sheesh! That's a lot and what the hell!? Ladyfingers!? We don't have them here." Said michiko. "I will have to make it without ladyfingers then." Replied Ume. "Okay whatever, it's not that hard without ladyfingers anyways" Sakuhana says rudely. "Sakuhana! No need to be rude haha!" Michiko says and then laughs (they are shown cooking) "okay! My waffles are ready and they look really good!" What about you ume?" Said michiko. "Oh! Tiramisu is almost ready!" (Scene skips to them eating) "Wow! Who cooked this waffle? It's really delicious!" Said Nekozaki. "I'm glad you liked it!" Replied michiko. "It was tasty!" Sakuhana says. Michiko takes all the dishes and puts them in the sink. (They all are smiling) "It's might! Let's all sleep" said Sakuhana. (They are shown going to sleep)

  Stolen from Royal Road, this story should be reported if encountered on Amazon.

  (the clock shows 2:00 AM midnight)

  Nekozaki suddenly wakes up. She was rubbing her eyes. She wanders around the house for sometime then goes out. She walks a little far from the village and then she sees something and gets scared.

  (Scene cuts off) (In the morning)

  Michiko wakes up and also wakes Sakuhana up. They brush their teeth and wash their faces. And then after; Ume and Hina also wake up. "Goodmorning guys!" Michiko says. "Let's all go hunting fish!" Sakuhana said. "Yes! Let's go" Hina says. They walk out of the village. (After walking for sometime) "Hey, I think that someone has fainted right there." Said Sakuhana. "Let's go help them." Michiko says, and then runs towards it. Michiko and Sakuhana scream in shock. "What's wrong!?" Ume replied and rushed towards michiko and Sakuhana. They all see Nekozaki laying dead on the grass with blood all over. Michiko's dark star has activated and sakuhana's spike too. They both look really angry. Michiko accidentally stabs her paln with her claw nail. "How... Did... She.... DIE!" Sakuhana said terrifying and angrily. She looks at Ume and Hina's face but they don't have any reaction. She gets angry again. Sakuhana tried to feel her heartbeat but it was silent (Sound of Sakuhana's heartbeat playing) "Neko.. zaki.. chan..?" Said Sakuhana as she remembers her memories with her. Nekozaki was the first friend of hers. After her came Michiko. But still most of her time passed away with Nekozaki. She thinks "I will get revenge for sure!" Then she said with her dark spike "what might have been done to her?" Michiko replies "we don't know. We are not even doctors or know anything about it. We are just 15 and less " "so sad for her. She was just 14." Hina said. "And you are just 13 too. How can you do that." Ume said. (Both dark eyes are still activated) "I, uhh, leave it. But I will still take revenge." Sakuhana said. "We will do the same thing." They all said. Michiko and Sakuhana looked at each other (they head off back to where they we're staying) on the way michiko says, "guys, we need to discuss something" Sakuhana replies, "What is it?" Michiko says "let's reach the house first." (In the evening) (Everyone has gathered at the dining table) michiko says "Sakuhana, remember how we said we will protect our friends?" "Yes..." Sakuhana replies. "Well; we actually failed. We weren't protective enough. Nekozaki lost her life because of our mistake.." michiko says and then her dark eyes activate. Sakuhana'd dark spike also activates and she is looking a bit scared and more angry. A year drops from michiko's face. (Water dripping sound as it was all silent) everyone looks at her and then she starts crying. Sakuhana goes up to her and comforts her. She says "every human does mistakes, we did too. Let's not let this mistake repeat itself again" michiko replies, "but we're not humans." "so what should we do now. We are not safe here." Said Ume. Sakuhana seems too sad and is not saying a word and looking down, just hearing "I wonder too. But we have to leave this house as it is not safe!" Michiko says "do you really think that we would find a place to stay right now?" Said Sakuhana. "Dumb Sakuhana, you really are frustrated right now. You must rest." Said michiko. "Let's think about this later." Says Ume. "Hey! What about we visit Miyo and ask her for help?" Said Michiko. "We should also live there because it's a village and it's also safe." Said Hina. Sakuhana was closing the door and she heard Hina. She stopped, thought something and then arranged everybody's beds till everyone was talking and went outside. "We'll discuss about moving out Tommorow" michiko said. "But first let's eat dinner." Listening to this Ume went to make something to eat. "I am not making to much."said ume "Yeah, yeah" michiko replied. The food got ready quickly as there was nothing much when Sakuhana was arranging plates, she mistakenly brought 5 plates."Oh, I mistakenly brought one more plate." She said with a fake smile. "I know you are not doing well, don't show a fake smile " says michiko. Ume and Hina looks at them and smiles mysteriously.
