"I can't afford this!" The shark yells.

"Then, our business is over." I say standing up.

"Our master kindly asks you to leave." Sherry Temple smiles.

"He's very busy." Ash Cherry moves her arm up my leg.

"Girls quiet." I say.

Ash Cherry and Sherry Temple, I picked them up from the streets. Why their names are like this probably they changed them. I don't really know. Nor do I care if that's what you're wondering. They were beautiful. More so than Teruhashi. Ash Cherry had scales. A bird like face and long black hair. Sherry Temple had four arms like me but was much smaller. Tentacles for hair and a clover pointed tail. They both were smaller than me. They were helpless. I pulled them from the scraps.

"If you can't afford it, then why are you here?" I ask.

"I've heard of you from the living world." He says.

I raise an eyebrow.

"Who are you?" I ask.

"My name is Kuio." He says.

"What makes you think you know me?" I ask.

"From a magician." He says.

A pulse tightens in me.

"He had green hair and called you master." He says.

I stand up.

"I have left that life behind a long time ago." I hiss.

I blow out smoke. It turns to chains as they wrap around him.

"What the fuck?!" He yells.

I move my hand. He starts rising up.

"You come in here just to insult me. I should be asking you that question." I say.

My eyes glow.

"No!" He turns to stone.

"What do you think girls?" I move my hand up his neck. 

"Beautiful." Ash Cherry smiles.

"Miraculous." Sherry Temple says.

I nod. I flick his head and he crumbles into dust. I left that life a long time ago.
