I sighed a little.

I'll have to suck it up and deal with it anyways as I probably said several chapters ago.

Parents who have children and loved them very much would risk their lives to protect them.

Even if it means death.

Then I suddenly felt everything wavering.

Before I knew it, I was suddenly in another place.

But, this....

Is different.

~Memory~

"Lukari? Can you come with me for a second? There's something I want to show you." Yaruichi said as she looked over at her little sister, Lukari.

Lukari was only 4 years old in this memory but looked a lot like Luka.

Young, cute, and a sweet little angel.

"Yes? What is it, Onee-chan?" Lukari asked as she headed over to her elder sister and held her paw.
———————————————————
Author's Note: Onee-chan means "big sister" in Japanese. Just a small lesson to teach ya, in case you want to go to Japan but need to learn their language first, so not only the Japanese folk can understand what you're saying, but you can understand what they're saying to you too. 😉

"You see this portrait of our grandmother and grandfather?" Yaruichi asked as she led Lukari over to a couch and sat next to her, while she held the picture up.

"Mm-hmm..." Lukari went as she nodded.

"They had loved you and I very much when we were born. They thought we were the most cutest little things ever before they died 2 years ago." Yaruichi said as she rested Lukari on her lap.

"Even though they aren't alive...They still love us."

Lukari smiled as she nodded.

"Yes. That's true." Lukari replied as she started playing with her elder sister after Yaruichi setted the picture back down in its rightful place.

The girls squealed in laughter as they continued to play.

~End Of Memory~

I suddenly snapped awake to the sound of a loud scream, making me sit straight up on the bed.

I looked over and noticed that Yachio was gone.

Then I heard another scream, making me panic.

Those screams belongs to Lucas and Yachio!

I quickly got out of the bed and grabbed a flashlight before I ran out of the bedroom to see if everything was alright.

Then I suddenly realized that Luka wasn't in bed and neither was Kaito when I checked the guest room she was staying at.

"Kaito! Lucas! Luka! Yachio! Where are you?!?!?!" I called out as I ran down the hallway before checking their rooms to see if they were still in there.

No one was in there.

That made me worried even more.

I continued running down the hallway while checking every room as I did so to see if anyone was in the rooms, hoping that they were okay and unhurt.

No one was there! And I checked every single room there was in the house!

Basement and everything!

The only room I hadn't checked was the attic.

But, I don't like going into an attic in the dark.

Because, then, I know someone could be in there lurking and watching my every move.

And it's creepy!

I shuddered at the thought of that before I breathed in and out.

Then I climbed up the stairs that leads me to the attic inside this house.

-Inside The Attic-

I started trembling in fear as I walked through the attic.

I shined the flashlight on certain spots that looked suspicious or out of place, only to find out that they were just boxes and old stuff.

I sneezed a little after I accidentally inhaled in some dust through my nose before I pulled a tissue out from my kimono pocket and wiped my nose with it.

I noticed a garbage can nearby so I headed over to it and threw the tissue away before resuming what I was doing.
