A Colder Than Usual Day

When we walked in, I saw a lot of hybrids and animals staring at me. I heard people say, "Woah look! Kitsunes" and "Is that one the prince?" I looked down feeling embarrassed, but Sai put his hand on my shoulder and said, "It's alright Yukio. They're just amazed to see kitsunes."

I smiled at him, and Taro bursted a double door open, revealing the throne room. There were four seats, and Taro asked me, "Do you have a child yet Yukio?" I said, "Yeah... I have four. I adopted three of them." Taro smiled and said, "That's so kind of you! I have a son, and he's a bit of an ass. It's probably because he's a teenager. God dammit where the hell is he!?"

Will replied, "Sir, he's in his room. The maids say that he "hooked up" with someone, but I have my doubts." Taro shouted, "Nikko you bitch! Get your small ass dick down here!" Suddenly, a door bursted open and a voice that sounds clearly annoyed shouted, "Dad! You fucker!" The person that came out of the door was a demon teenager that had red hair and amber eyes. He was wearing torn blue jeans and a sleeveless white shirt.

He looked at me and stopped in his tracks. He ruffled up his short hair and said, "Hey. How are ya doin?" Taro flew to him and slapped him in the face saying, "Quit flirting with him! He's your uncle now!" Nikko crossed his arms and looked away, and I felt something in my tail. I whispered to Sai, "I think something's in my tail."

Sai looked at it and said, "Oh. Ren how did you not know he was here?" Ren looked down then jumped back. Sai squatted down and stood back up holding a fox kit. "Kai!? What..." Kai went into his human form and said, "I just wanted to go with you." Sai put him down and Taro said, "Oh my god! He's so fucking cute!" Kai waved at Taro and Nikko. Taro almost passed out and Nikko scoffed.

Taro flew over and said, "So he's one of your adopted children." He pat Kai's head and said, "He's just the cutest thing. You see that grump over there? That's your new cousin." Kai looked at Nikko and said, "He's rude isn't he?" "I know! You can tell by just looking at him!" Suddenly, there was a banging at the door behind me. Taro flew to it and opened the door.

Behind it was a black panther and a demon that looked extremely bored. "Kaa!? What do you want!?" The panther asked, "Is it true that you've found a kitsune prince?" Taro's tail twitched in annoyance and he replied, "Yes I did. Now go away." The demon next to the panther said, "Hnn... do you always have to be so rude to everyone?"

"Because no one listens to me! Well except these three. They're ok. But you two on the other hand-" "Taro! There you are!" Kurai appeared and Taro's jacket started smoking. He tore the jacket and cloak off, revealing himself. He had yellow eyes that glowed and small black demon horns. He had long red hair, and he was wearing a tuxedo stripper outfit, and the word "lust" was tattooed on his belly.

"God dammit, what the hell do you want Kurai!?" She looked at me and said, "Him." Taro shouted, "No! Geez, why are you all making such a fuss about him?" Kurai said, "Because I want my revenge! Look what he did to my face!" She pointed at a small scratch that was barely visible. Everyone except for Kai and I bursted into laughter.

"Oh my god! I thought you were a baby, but this is too much! Hahaha!" Kurai's hair caught on fire, and she threw a spear at me. I was frozen in place due to another one of her powers, but Ren grabbed my arm and pulled me out of the way. I tried to move, but I was completely paralyzed. Kai turned into a fox kit, and hid in my tails once again.

Taro teleported and started throwing fists at her, but she teleported behind me, and grabbed Kai. I couldn't move. I couldn't yell. I could only watch as my kit was being taken away from me. He howled desperately, and Sai tried to get him, but Kurai got away. I felt something break inside of me. I saw Taro turn to his son and snap at him for not doing anything.

The other demon that was here looked even more depressed, and the panther walked away. I felt myself being able to move again, and I hopped out of Ren's arms and ran outside. With tears streaming off of my face, and the others chasing after me, I ran out of the castle. Feeling desperate to save my kit. I tripped, and I saw my bitter end.

I had tripped off of a cliff, and I was falling. I heard a desperate, and sad cry shout, "Yukio, no!" I look up, and I see two figures reaching out for me, but they got farther and farther away, and my surroundings got darker and darker. The farther they got, the colder it became. I hugged myself, and questioned, "Is this really the end? I shouldn't have gotten out of bed."

I shut my eyes, and I felt myself land on something soft, yet cold. I open my eyes, and I can only see darkness. I felt a sudden warmth next to me. "No... please don't go..." Sai buried his head into my chest. I felt him hold my hand and say, "Please..." He picked up my body, and turned my head to face his devastated face. I wanted to speak, but I couldn't.

His tears landed on my face, and It made me cry too. I felt Ren hold my other hand and say, "There is one way to save him. We have to do it Sai." Sai looked at Ren, then back at me saying, "Yes... you will be saved then." He placed his thumb on my forehead, and Ren placed his as well. They did a silent chant, and I couldn't feel or hear anything at all.

It was quiet and my body was numb. I couldn't hear anything until I heard, "Yukio... Yukio! Wake up!" I open my eyes, and I see Miyuki in my face.
