"Morning…" I softly said as I woke up, it was already morning, the sunlight from her windows shadowed on us as we lay on the bed. I looked at Kagura, she was hugging very tightly and didn't want to wake up. However, to my surprise, she slowly opened her eyes like a newly awakened baby, she was calming at the time, staring at me as she rubs her eyes.

"Morning…" She greeted me, I blushed with rosy cheeks and just smiled. she turned away and finally stood up, she took some stretches with her arms, her nightgown showed her body but I tried not to look at it, her thin waistline truly makes her very beautiful.

"What are you looking at?" she asked, I looked away with embarrassment, I was peeping on her body with no consent, I hope she won't get mad.

"Nothing.." I hinged away as I covered my embarrassment, I looked back at her and saw her smiling, she wasn't mad at all. I realise, my life with Heather made me uncomfortable with other women, hiding in fear hoping not to get hated or get beaten, being pushed into a corner and trying to move but being held in a cell. I know I had a lot of bad things about Heather but being pushed around and being a coward to women made me feel useless. I also wanted equality, I know she is sentient and all but she must know that there is no hierarchy in the 21st century, right?

"Come on… what is going on?" She asked, I nodded slowly as she sat on the bed on her knees, she was tapping her thighs, inviting me to place her head on her thighs, it was inviting though.

"Place your head here…" She said, before I went near to her, she stood up for a while.

" Hold on.. " She stopped, she went near to her nightstand and grabbed something, it was a cotton bud, well two buds. She went back to her place and kneel down and continued tapping her thighs, I slowly placed my head on her thighs and I felt it was very soft, like a pure pillow. I know this is awkward but can I have some break for a while?

"Is it okay?" she asked as I felt the tip of the bud touching my right ear, I nodded as she began to insert it. I felt the sensation of how soft and very gentle the bud was, it was like playing on my ear canal. I felt the comfort and relaxation as she slowly moved the bud in my ear. I'm surprised she wasn't grossed out from my ear, the last time I cleaned it was around 2 days ago.

"Tell me, what's going on?" she asked as she softly brushed the tip in my ear, I felt the tingles as she brushed it very slowly. I began recalling what I said earlier and decided to tell her about it.

"Well, I just get the feeling of wanting to talk to someone but you're being held and captive by fear." I said as I recall between me and Heather. It hurts a lot when I think about it and I want to let go of it.

" I see, You know I'm here, you can talk to me. " she stated as she brushed the tip, I felt the comfort each passing second I placed my head on her thighs, I sighed as I continued talking to her.

"I can but I'm busy lately…" I said to her, knowing that Demons and monsters started spreading like how the Romans spread influenced after the defeat of Carthage, it would be a huge problem and troublesome as well. There was one time Kagura got into this and same goes with the apple, but I can't afford that, I want to keep her out at all cost but it seems danger keeps on trying to.

"You still have free time right?" She asked, I nodded slowly.

" You can still talk to me in your free time. " She stated as she softly brushed my hair, two of my sensitive areas in my head felt the tingles making me a serene atmosphere.

"Okay." I lastly said as I slowly felt the feeling of sleeping once more, I couldn't help but I accidentally slept, once more.

I woke up a few hours later and saw Kagura playing her controler as she lay down beside me, I realised I was in her pillow and sleeping on her blanket once again.

"Good afternoon sleepyhead." she giggled, I woke up and stretched one more time to recall what happened earlier, knowing I slept the moment after I woke up just made me worried about myself.

"Sorry if I had caused some trouble." I nervously said as I turned to my left and tapped the floor with my naked feet, I began moving it and found my shoes, I bowed down to place my feet on my shoes and began tying it.

"It's alright. You can still come with me later. " She smiled.

"Thanks, I'll try." I stood up and went to her door, knowing I owed her a lot right now and giving me some peace in mind , it is time to get up and take the stress on as I open my flat's door to see Heather eating on the floor, it was all too messy and very stressful.

"Oh Hey, what took you so long?" She asked asI walked in and locked the door, I sighed with stress as I went to her bed to sit down.

"Having the best day, you?" I asked her as I remove my shoes once more and place it on the side and lie on her bed.

"Listen Romeo, we got some bad news. " She said after standing up and looking at me.

"What is it now?" I groaned as I raised my body and look at her.

" I found out that Tachibana is still alive somehow. " She stated, I raised my eyes and was stunned. How can he still be alive after being turned into dust?

"He ate the forbidden fruit after all, so he knows how to reconstructure. " She said after pointing her finger to my far left, I turned to the direction and saw a tube, it was holding the forbidden fruit inside, I was surprised that she contained it that fast.

"Alright, well where do you think he is?" I asked her, she began thinking and walked back and forth.

" He is somewhere here in Japan, outside of Tokyo I guess. " she stated, I sighed in relief as I just prayed that Kagura won't be affected by any of Tachibana's actions.

"How about the demons?" I asked her as I remember about the demons that leaked her into earth.

" They followed Tachibana and began spreading, some were in different countries but more or less, they are here. " She sighed as she kept on walking.

"Alright, I'll tell Kagura." I stood up and hoped to tell her I'm going to leave, but I was grabbed by Heather in my arms.

"Hold it right here Lover boy, We don't want her to know about it." She stated, we look at the forbidden fruit as we recall what happened earlier.
