Chapter 2

\\\\

Sun has shown and a bright day with a new adventure has begun!

Gareki woke up and he was about to say 'Good Morning Nai' but then he remembered Nai wasn't there. It hurt him but then he just took a bath and changed his clothes and went outside seeing everyone ready to leave and search for Nai.

"Your late." Yogi said.

Gareki just huffed and joined them. The ship has now departed and went to that forest now. Running back to that house they were about to combine their powers when the door opened.

Everyone got ready in their places getting ready for the any enemy but to their suprise it was Karoku that exited the house. The magical barrier disappeared and so as the house.

"Karoku?" Hirato said in suprise.

"Greetings Circus." He said with a smile.

Gareki examined him and noticed that in his eyes there lies a dark aura. He knew Karoku was hiding something and he spoke,

"Karoku what's that behind you?" Gareki asked.

Karoku just smiled and moved to the side revealing a girl of 157 cm tall. She had long white hair with purple curled tips. Her eyes were big and was colored red. She was wearing just the same colors as Nai but it was more like for female's now, Her shirt became kind of a long one that is very neat and clean with a purple colored skirt. Her skin was pale white and her frame was so slender.

"N-Nai?" Gareki said in suprise.

Everyone's eyes were wide unknown what to say. The girl just clinged on Karoku's arm as she looked at the strangers scared and soo confused.

'Who are they? They're strangers... I can't trust strangers... But why do I feel like this? This feeling that... They're my family... What's happening?'

The girl just shivered in fright as she went to Karoku's back again and just poked her head out. Her eyes showed fright, lonliness, sadness, and confusion.

"Hai. Her name is Nai. She is now my lover and she's full human, and she is very sweet." He said as he leaned down and kissed her in the forehead receiving a smile from her.

Everyone was now dumbfounded but Gareki. Gareki was seriously pained. He can feel every part of him crush into darkness and sadness. He can't believe what he saw. Could it be? Could it be that the woman in front of him is really Nai? The Nai he loved so much. The Nai that would never hide in someone's back because of strangers. The Nai that will smile to anyone.

Nai... Nai... Please... Don't tell me that's really you...

"Nai. Introduce yourself they're our friends." Karoku said.

Nai just nodded and slowly went I front of them and bowed first as she spoke,

"Good Morning everyone. Its a pleasure to meet you. I am Nai Muhinyi. I hope that we could get closer." She said with a bright smile.

Everyone just stopped the weird atmosphere and greeted Nai. Gareki was left frozen there. That smile. That voice. He missed it sooo much. He really wanted to hear his voice wait I mean her voice. But wait. How and why did she become a girl? And why doesn't she remember any of them? Why? Did she lose her memories? And why is Karoku here too? Is he involved in anything?

Nai... Her smiles... Okay then its settled. I'll just have to wait... Do I really want to just give up and bury my feelings? Or should I keep on fighting and claim Nai as mine! Then that's it! I don't care what happens! I would do anything to make Nai remember, no matter what! And I will tell her how I truly feel about her all these years...

"U-Uhmm?"

Gareki snapped back to reality and looked down looking at the female Nai. And yes it was true she was full human now since he has not fantasizing her as an animal anymore. Gareki then spoke,

"I'm Gareki nice to meet you." He said casually.

The girl just smiled and greeted him too. Gareki was hurt. But he just smiled back and everyone was gathered inside the ship to have some tea.

Karoku held Nai's hand while walking towards the ship and Gareki at the back silently crying. Its not normal for him to cry but its just too painful. Too painful that he want to- No! He can't yet! He still has a mission to save Nai from this spell or whatever...

Everyone has arrived and sat down. Gareki sat from the farthest from Nai but they're facing each other from each end. Karoku was most likely sitting to the nearest to Nai And etc.

Just a casual conversation started when Nai locked eyes with Gareki. Gareki looked straight in her eyes and saw... Nai... He knew it! She I mean he was locked inside. Inside her eyes was Nai begging for help its as if like an innocent person trying to break free from jail. Gareki was wide-eyed. He wanted to help her but he can't. It will make too much of a fuss and he knows for sure that it was Karoku that made her like that!

'Nai...'

Karoku for sometime noticed that Nai and Gareki are looking at each other so he stood up and spoke,

"If you may I shall excuse myself." He bowed and took Nai with him his grip was tight that made Nai twitch.

Both were now in a secluded place and no one was around. Nai was frightened. Never has she seen Karoku this angry before then she spoke, "K-Karoku... D-Did I do something wrong?" She was shivering in fright.

Karoku didn't speak and pinned her on the wall holding both her wrists above her head and harshly he kissed her on the lips.

Nai was surprised but she felt confused. She felt that being with Karoku was wrong. She doesn't know her feelings a lot but as she felt weak her mouth opened and Karoku slid his tongue inside without wasting each second.

Nai felt that tears were coming out. She never expected Karoku would ever do this to her.

After a few moments Karoku finally snapped back and pulled himself. He stared back at Nai's sweaty with swollen lips full of saliva of his and hers. Karoku felt soo guilty and he hugged her and apologized.

"N-Nai! I-I'm so sorry!"

"Karoku... Gomen... What did I do to make you angry? I promise I won't do that anymore..." She said while panting.

Both fell down on the floor and Karoku spoke, "Gomen Nai! I just got jealous because you and Gareki were looking at each other for so long... Please forgive me..." Tears were running down his cheeks so fast.

"No, no its alright its just that I feel something familiar when I'm with all of them... But please tell me what's wrong first okay?"

"Gomen, Gomen... Now let me fix you..." Karoku said with a smile.

He had a gentle smile and Nai loved that. Both stood up and whit a cheerful smile they both went to a bathroom so that Karoku can fix her. Without noticing Gareki was there hiding and listening to each word.

'Karoku... You damn bastard! For hurting Nai like that! And what's wrong with me looking at her? Ugh...' Gareki followed the two and saw that they went inside the bathroom and closed the door. Gareki was now in front if the door listening. Its not that he wants to eavesdrop them but it was for Nai to make sure she was alright.

"Ne Nai what do you think of this place?" Karoku asked as she stripped of her clothes and change her to to a new one.

"It feels like..."

"Home"

'Home'

Gareki and Nai had the same word and Nai felt a sharp pain in her chest. She held her chest and fell forward. Karoku caught her and was shocked.

"Na-Nai! Are you alright?!" Karoku was worried and she just replied.

"Ah hahah yeah I am I guess I just grew tired"

Karoku wasn't convined but then he just continued clothing her. Nai felt something weird and felt fingers roaming around her and she spoke, "K-Karoku..."

"Ah Nai don't worry I'm just clothing you..."

Nai felt nervous and she felt it wasn't right. She lifted her thighs up to cover her sacred part but Karoku just pushed it down gently so that it would be easy for him to cloth her. Nai noticed that Karoku was taking it slow and she spoke, "K-Karoku can you make it faster... I-I wanna get along with the others..."

Karoku then snapped and clothed her. He couldn't understand why he was like that and stood up patting her head. Nai just giggled and the two went outside holding hands.

Gareki pretended that he just went across that place and the two greeted Gareki. He just huffed and took a glance at Nai. Locking their eyes for a second Nai noticed sadness and lonliness in his eyes. She wondered why but she can't ask because they haven't known each other yet.

Nai was worried but then she saw Tsukumo and the others. She wanted to know everyone along with that raven-haired boy, Gareki...

They all played hide-and-seek. We all know pretty well that they're too old for that game but its fun anyways.

As time passed each went to their respective rooms Karoku was in the bathroom when Nai was just wandering around. And leads her to a familiar door. Nai stood there like an idiot as she stared at the door. She wanted to open it but it could be that she is disturbing who is inside. She felt that no one is there so she just opened it slowly.

As the door opened she peeked inside and saw that it was a small room with a double deck bed and the place was messy for sure. She slowly went inside and she felt familiarity all around. She say on the bed and held the mattress as she felt so homey. Lying down she hugged a pillow looking at the window.

'Gareki...'

She then thought of his name and fell asleep.

~O~

"Oi, Gareki!" Yogi shouted as he ran to Gareki who was going to his room.

"What?" Gareki replied.

"How are u feeling? You know after Nai became a girl and losing her memories? And being th Karoku but there is no evidence that she is the real Nai." He asked.

Gareki just ignored him and went inside his room. He locked the door and on to the bed he saw Nai sleeping on the lower bed. He was wide-eyed and he didn't know what to do. He has to give Nai back to Karoku but when he sees him with Nai then he'll go crazy and be angry. Next if he knew that Nai was sleeping in his room then he'll go crazy and kill him.

He couldn't wake Nai up and he wasn't that evil to wake up such a peaceful face. He kneeled down and stared at her sleeping face. He felt daggers stab his heart. No matter how much he wants to touch her he just can't. She would regret it when she wakes up. And also she belongs to someone else... He can't have her... But why can't he accept it?

Its simple because she is his. No matter what Gareki will save Nai. No matter what. He loves Nai and there is no way in hell that he would give up on her. She has changed his whole life. Without Nai he would've continued being the Gareki who would steal and live in a life full of crime and the life where he trusted nobody and thought of everyone as an enemy.

Meeting Nai was a change in his whole life like his whole existence changed him. Gareki smiled as he carressed her cheek and kissed her on the forehead as he went go the top part of use bunk bed and slept.
