Chapter 17
A few days ago, Chris is alone in his room playing with Byako, then Sky knocks the door and came in without any permission. "What do you want again?" Sky sits down on a random chair although he is obviously not welcomed by Chris. "Well, how should I put it?... That's certainly not the only reason right?" "Uh…I don't get you." "Ai, puzzle pieces?" "Well, have to admit it that is just one of my many reasons." "Is it mainly to do with your body condition?" "Huh?" "Your magic has been rather quite unstable recently, right?" "*smile*…You have been thinking too much, anyway, go get some rest, I'll be taking leaves starting tomorrow, so you might be having hard times especially during maths cla.s.s…" "What???!!! NooOOOoooOoo!!!!"…

Chapter 16 Another random chapter
Present, Ai is still watching Chris who is still fast asleep, with some notes of school work in her right hand … "Hmm… That handwriting, are those belongs to Itsuki-kun?" "..*!* Ah, did I wake you up, My Master?" "Uh…Not quite, just your lap is not really a good place to sleep on. So, those really are Itsuki's note huh?" said Chris while sitting up and grabbed some notes on the floor. "Yes, ever since that day, he came to visit me almost every day and give me these school notes." "Ah…He is a really concerned person, isn't he?" "Maybe…" "Interested at him?" "What? I…" "Hah! Just teasing you." "But there is something quite weird about him recently…" " How so?" "Well, he usually comes over by himself and will stay for at least an hour…" "Ah! So he is the one that interested in you huh?" "I… don't think so…Anyway, until three days ago, his chauffeur seems to be watching him quite strictly and came over to fetch him almost instantly after he sends me his notes. And yesterday, the chauffeur even send me the note by himself…as if Itsuki is not allowed to come over here anymore…" "Hmm… That's certainly is weird, it is very unusual for you to care about someone to this extent… So you are interested in him after all huh." "…" "…Ah…I guess I went too far huh? Anyway, that chauffeur, is it that Shuiichi you are talking about?" "Yes…" "Well, he had drawn my suspicion
Then, without any further warning, the room is filled countless of a ghoul-like creature with only head and hand… "The soul eater (simply known as ghoul) huh? That's quite a lot of them, I wonder where did they come from?" "Could these being actually summoned by someone, as I have seen this type of ghoul before, they are slightly different from the ordinary one, which instead blindly search for their target like the normal one, they react to any smallest movement which will trigger their senses and make them attack their target in group." "True, this could be quite troublesome…Stay close to me." "Yes, my master." "Oh! And stop calling me master, just Chris will be okay."…
So, the ghoul approaches the two, however before those creatures could harm them, they burst on their own. "Uh…What is happening? Chris-sama?" "The house spirits, their job is to protect me from any form of danger…like this one *smile*…" However, among all these little ghouls, there were a few that have a complete body figure, which is obviously stronger and not affected by the house spirit…Okay! When I said a few, it's actually quite a lot.
"Cih!" "Ah! Those are… should I…" "Stay here and don't make any unnecessary move that will provoke those low lives." As those ghouls are literally blind, they just floating aimlessly in the room, those with complete body (instead of just head) is doing a weird and rather disturbing 'waggling dance', and to make things worse, among all of these ghouls there is one with a totally different look and style, seemly more intelligent than the other, supposedly to be the leader…Is doing a much more nastier dance(haha). Obviously annoyed and irritated by the sight, Chris slightly moved his fingers, all the weaker ghouls just vanished into thin air, leaving the stronger ghouls still doing that weird waggling move. For all of the sudden, that 'leader' of the ghouls seems to spotted Chris, it slowly approaching Chris, reaching his sharp claws toward Chris's face. Chris however is totally not wavered by this, he closed his eyes as if he doesn't care if this creature can harm him or what.
Suddenly that ghoul being slashed into two, along with the other remaining ghouls. In front of Chris is a man with long black and white hair, wearing some sort of traditional clothes wielding a katana. "Byako." "My Lord! Are you alright?" "I guess so." "Ah! Your face.." Some blood is dripping from the spot where the ghoul touched him. "Oh! This…Not a big deal." Chris casually wipes off the blood with his hand. Then Byako kneeled down. "My Lord, I give you my deepest apologizes for goes into my human form without your permission. I'm willing to accept any of your punishment." "No, you did a great job protecting me just now… However I do think that you need to goes back to your cat form now as we are having some 'visitor'." Said Chris while looking out of the window.
"h.e.l.lo, good afternoon, Miss Ai. Oh! Mr. Chris is here as well." "Shuiichi-san is it? Nice to see you here." "I came here to send Miss Ai this school notes Master Itsuki make last night." "Oh! Itsuki-kun sure is a nice person huh?" "Yes he is, willing to help a girl that almost killed him is certainly a very kind deed." "Ha! You are a humorous one, Shuiichi-san." "Seeing such a worthless killer girl been harm like these have already make Master Itsuki feel so upset, I wonder what will happen if one of his friends, for example you, Mr. Chris, getting harmed?" "I don't quite understand what do you mean by that." Said Chris with a sarcastic manner. "I'll show you." Said Shuiichi while pulling out a pocket knife…
"Oops! I guess your joke had gone way too far Shuiichi.". Before Shuiichi can do anything, Sky came in from the slide door and grabbed Shuiichi's hand. "Oh! My apologies! I guess I should take my leave now. Farewell." Then Shuiichi left. "Chris! Are you alright? Did you get hurt?" "I suppose I'm alright…" "No, you looks quite pale, you are certainly not alright. Hey Ben! Can you check him out a bit?" "Yes, of course…" "Wait! Why is Ben here?" "Well…As a part of my job, I really can't afford myself to let anything happen to my patient right? Especially for someone as honorable as you… Seriously, if you don't really care about your own safety, at least take a mind of your special ident.i.ty." "My ident.i.ty? What do you mean by that, do you know anything about my past?" "Hmm…*look at Sky*…Here, you have your answer." "I see…" "Hey, don't ignore me! Tell me, what do you know ab…" Chris suddenly stops talking and turns blank. "Chris? Chris! Are you alright?! Hey!" said Sky while holding Chris's shoulder. "Huh?...Ah… I'm fine, just experience some fluctuation of magic. That's all." "Uh…Ben! We need to get him back to the hospital to have some emergency treatment right now. He is hallucinating! Having magic fluctuation and said 'that's all'? This is serious!?" "I agree with you for the very first time. This is an emergency!" "Haha… These two."…
