Kona almost jumped out of his skin when two high voices cut through the air and assaulted his ears, temporarily dazing him. Then, out of the blue appeared two little people, they must be young, he concluded, else why would they be so little? Kona backed away as they attacked Kaleena. Wait, they attacked Kaleena! That was bad, but she was laughing and stroking them, how odd, was it safe?
Upon closer inspection, Kona couldnt believe what he saw, certiainly not something he'd ever seen before. The little people were the same! Two of a kind. Did that mean somewhere in the world there was another Kona? He frowned, it was a wierd idea, and one he soon realised he didnt like. He was Kona, no-one else! He stared at them in wonder as they hugged Kaleena, and was suddenly very jelous. Why didnt she stroke him like that?

"Alright, Alright, cut it out you guys. I want you to meet someone." Kaleena laughed, as Shippo and Sheeta reluctantly let go of her. She grabbed them each by the hand, and turned around, facing Kona. "Shippo, Sheeta, this is Kona. I just bought him. Kona, this is Shippo and Sheeta. I already own them." She gestured to each one in turn, and then at the collars around their neck.
Shippo and Sheeta smiled at Kona, looking exactly the same (except for the hair). A new person to play with! This was gonna be so much fun! Kaleena hadn't come home with a new person to play with in a long time!

Hmm...so these two were also Kaleena's, she already owned them. Kona must not be as special as he first thought. Initially that only increased his jelousy, and made him feel bad inside, but then the two smiled at him, and he couldnt help but smile back. They weren't bad people, that much he could tell, so he shouldnt feel bad, and their smiles were so identical he laughed outloud.
'Why do you look the same like that?' he asked, generally clueless. They were so strange, but pretty...in a childish way...was there a word for that? ...Cute, cute worked, he didnt use that word often, but it fitted them perfectly. 'You two are cute!' Kona announced, as if he'd just solved a mystery. And cute was nice, so they must be nice people, nice little people.
Tilting his head, the way he always did, Kona reached out and touched Sheeta's collar. It was interesting, but he hoped his own would be a little bigger, and perhaps wouldnt hurt his bruises. He was certain his own neck wasnt as little as little sheeta's was. So....if they were wearing collars, they must be slaves...so they must be +anima! 'What +anima?'

Sheeta thought the guy was weird, and Shippo didn't like how he touched his sister's collar, but he was Kaleena's, so they had to be nice. "We're twins! That means we're brother and sister, except we were born on the same day!" They smiled, especially glad that he called them cute. "We're fox!"
Kaleena smiled, glad that they seemed to be getting along. She didn't like it when they didn't like each other. After all, just look at Yuki. Speaking of which... "You guys, where's Yuki?" The twins looked up at her, grinning mischeiviously. "He's up in your room, sulking." Kaleena sighed. "You guys didn't tease him again, did you?" The twins' grins grew wider. She sighed again.

Born at the same time!? Was that even possible? It must be, Sheeta and Shippo were living proof, right? Kona scratched his head and continued to stare at them, his mind finding it hard to comprehend their identical appearances. Hmm, Fox. Kona couldnt remember if he'd seen a fox before, though the name was familiar. He hoped they show him their 'foxes' sometime, to refresh his memory.
Kaleena asked for a 'yuki', and Kona managed to pull his gaze away from the twins for a few seconds. They had both been grinning somewhat menacingly, despite the fact that they were small and looked relatively harmless. Kona wondered what they'd done that would make Kaleena sigh like that. Teasing...was that some form of torture? He doubted such little people could cause that much trouble, but, just incase, he edged away slightly.

Kaleena turned to Kona, smiling somewhat grimly. "Well, Kona, it seems you've met the two troublemakers of the house. Don't worry about them. They don't mean any harm." She glared at the twins. "Do you?" The twins' smiles, if possible, grew larger. "Of course we don't, Kaleena." They chimed in unison, before running into the house.
Kaleena turned back to Kona, gesturing him into the house. "Come on. We've got to get in before-" She was cut off as an angry, older male voice vibrated through the house. "KALEENA!" Kaleena sighed. "That's my dad."

Kona froze and then darted behind Kaleena, trying to locate the owner of the frightening voice. Kona couldnt remember alot about his own dad. In fact he'd tried to forget everything he could, it was painful to remember when all the memories he had were negative, regarding his parents. Parents were supposed to be loving and caring, not mean like his own, or scary like Kaleena's. Kona felt tears spring into his eyes, though he wasnt sure why. Thinking about mum and dad always did that to him, but he was so certain that he hated his parents; they'd done terrible things to him, why should he still love them? Kona nuzzled into Kaleena's neck, confused, but also comforted by her presence.
'Kaleena, do you love your dad?' It would be strange if she did, when her father had yelled like that. But then...her dad could be a nice person. Kona was jumping to conclusions again, and wished he hadnt asked the question.

Kona had darted behind Kaleena, and was now nuzzling her neck. Oh, please don't let him have a crush on me. Yuki's enough. But, he just seemed frightened. That's okay.
Kaleena, do you love your dad?
An odd question. "Of course! I respect and love my dad very much!" Kaleena wasn't sure why he'd asked that question, but maybe Kona's parents hadn't been nice to him. He was a +Anima, after all.
Thundering footsteps rang down the stairs, and a younger, though close to middle-aged, man appeared. He had brown hair, and a brown mustache, and was dressed in fancier clothes. Father. He glared accusingly at Kona. "Who are you?"

Kona stared back, looking the man up and down. He couldnt remember his own fathers face very well, but he imagined it would be similar to this man's. Very strict, the sort of person you wouldnt want to cross, almost the way Kona had felt when he first looked into Kaleena's eyes. She must have picked that up from her dad. Kaleena had said she 'respected' her father, was that different to love? Maybe Kona suffered because he hadnt been respectful. Not anymore, he decided to make an effort with Kaleena's parents.
'Kona is my name, and i belong to Kaleena now, i'm worth 2500 gillah!' Was that impolite...but it was the truth, so the man shouldnt get mad. Although Kona suddenly remembered that not everyone liked the truth. Afraid of the reaction he might recieve, Kona stayed close to Kaleena, absently noticing for the first time that her hair smelled quite nice. He forced a smile at the man and gave a little wag of his tail.

...I'm worth 2500 gillers!
Dear me... Kona was either going to make her dad laugh, or he was going to get on his bad side. Which he already was. Kaleena sighed. "Dad, I just got him at the market. He's sweet. Don't get mad, okay?" Please, let him not get mad. She used her puppy-dog eyes.
Her father's eyes softened. "Very well, Kaleena. I'll let you be." His eyes hardened slightly as he took in Kona's forced smile, and the fact he was staying close to his daughter. "Kona. You may be owned by my daughter. You may befriend my daughter. Get any closer than that, and you're out on the streets. Understand?"
Kaleena sighed. Ever since Yuki, her father had been paranoid. She doubted many slaves fell in love with their owners. Yuki was just... different. And Kona, well, from what she'd seen so far, he was like a little kid.

Get any closer? Kona was as close as he could get physically to Kaleena, any more and he'd push her over. What did the man mean by that? He wanted to ask, but found himself just nodding in response, some fear returning when it was mentioned that he might be kicked out onto the streets again. He couldnt be! After finding someone like Kaleena, the idea of being left alone out in the cold for even another second was unbearable. Suddenly horribly afraid again, Kona tightened his grip on Kaleena's sholder and nuzzled her again, oblivious as to how this might look to the man before them. It was okay, she was still there, with him, and as long as she was, it was okay...
Then he realised she seemed somewhat distant, and moved away, wondering what she might be thinking.

Kaleena's father frowned, angry that the boy hadn't listened, but stopped at something in Kaleena's eyes. He stomped away, waving his hand dismissively. "Have fun."
Kaleena sighed, thankful that the meeting hadn't gone too bad. She turned to Kona, who had stepped away from her. "Come on, Kona. I want you to meet Yuki!" She smiled at him, grabbing his hand and pulling him gently behind her as they went up the stairs.
She hoped Yuki wouldn't get the wrong idea from Kona and would figure out he was like a child. He could get really jealous, and would most likely attack Kona if he thought he was a threat. She didn't get Yuki at times.

Kaleena's father left, and Kona relaxed a little bit. It was as if the air in the room had come to a standstill when he'd entered, and now he was gone, Kona could breathe again.
Come on, Kona. I want you to meet Yuki.
Of course, Yuki, he remembered now. Yuki was the reason those little people had such strange looks on their faces, and Kona was eager to find out what had really happened. Kona squeezed her hand in his. She wanted him to meet this Yuki, so of course thats what he would do; anything Kaleena wanted. Kona wagged his tail, and murmured the name Yuki outloud a few times. It was important to Kaleena, therefore it was important to Kona, and he should remember.

With Kona trailing behind her, Kaleena darted up the stairs, passing a few surprised servants. At the top of the first-floor staircase, there was a tall, ebony door. Kaleena grinned at Kona. "This is my room!" she announced, letting go of Kona's hand to push the door open.
She barely had a chance to glimpse her large, fancily furnished bedroom with several doors leading out from it, before a figure on her rose-patterened bedspread sprung at her. Yuki, a boy about the same age as herself, with gray hair and violet eyes, wrapped Kaleena in a tight embrace. "You're back!" he exclaimed, planting a kiss on her forehead. He was a head taller than Kaleena, a fact that never ceased to bug her.

Once again the arrival of another unexpected assault sent Kona jumped back a few paces. Then he realised that actually, this must be Yuki, and so it wasnt unexpected afterall, but it had still caught him off guard. Why couldnt people be nice and just approach nice and slowly. But Yuki was being nice, he had just kissed Kaleena, so....did that override the fright he'd just given Kona? he wasnt sure...
Kona's ears twitched, and something made him turn away whilst Kaleena was in the new boy's arms. Though he couldnt never attempted to explain why, he just didnt want to see it. He felt bad, but Kaleena looked content, happy to see this person, so if she was happy, he should be, right? So why was it so hard to look at Yuki...
((just incase i'm causing some confusion, Kona doesnt have a crush on her, lol, i just realised that some of his thoughts could be misinterpretted easily. He's allowed to be a little jelous though XD))
