Chapter 10 : Silly Reunion

The one who opened the door is none other than Damien, the catboy from our hero's party, that one boy that always tries to make jokes but they always end up pretty badly... he wears a blue sweat, a black short, grey socks and grey shoes.

He is an idiot and a really nice guy, I'm actually happy I've met him and right now I'm asking myself how did he escape the secret laboratory on that ship, I look at him while he removes the handcuffs from me, whenever I look at his face my mind is set on doing anything that would make him look dumb.

"So who's your favorite friend now !? It's me !" He tells me, joy printed on his face.

"Damien. How did you escape ?" I ask.

"I'm smarter than you think." He argues without argument.

"Suuuuure I believe you." I say doubting his words.

"Well, I did left on my own after that shadow person opened my cellar by accident. And..." I'm not letting him finish his sentence looking seriously at him.

"It was no accident."

"You're right ! Regardless of that matter, were you going to the beach ?" he asked curious.

I sigh, looking at my own body, I don't want to describe it since whenever I think about it the two things that comes to my mind are weak and fragile. And that isn't something you want to know about yourself.

"Well well well Sanaë, don't you think you have to reward me with a nice price ?"

he asks in a happy tone.

"As long as it's not something bad." I remotely answer.

"The price I want... is you ! Just kidding, I've been farting a lot recently so maybe you could teach me how to fart less." he laughs.

"Who are you ?" I say in disgust, widening my eyes.

"I'm Damien, one of your best friends ! Even if you give up on being a hero, that doesn't mean you have to go on the evil path." he declares like it is an hero's speech after doing good deeds.

"Sorry for the trouble I caused you. I'm such a coward, I don't deserve to be a hero. All the people we saved died because of me." I say as I shed in tears.

"It's fine, I'm not gonna stop you from living your life. I just want you to put some clothes on and stop crying." Damien says scratching at his cheek as he blushes.

"If only I were as brave as you."

"If only you weren't an idiot." he smirks.

"Hey ! Don't switch roles ! It's more fun when you are called like that dumbass !" I say getting mad as soon as I heard the insult.

"My apologies. You will naturally become even more attractive than you already are, so I worry for you... Whenever you are in a danger I feel like I should help you." he compliments me and at the same time warns me.

"Thanks, dumbass." I reply, drying my tears away.

"This dumbass loves having you in the family." is what he said if I heard right but his lips didn't match his words, if I believe what I've seen what he said to me was...

"This dumbass loves you." I thought to myself, how strange...

We go outside, the militaries are knocked out with lot of bruises and blood on their face, they are still alive with no lost organs, I don't want to kill them even while knowing about their plans... I'm retired as a hero, so I will not become a villain.

Damien hold my hand with care, we run at my pace so that I can keep up without any problem, we end up next to the snow field next to the entrance of White District, we play snowball games together and I have so much fun taking snow from the ground, making snowballs out of it and throwing the snowballs at this idiot's face, he does the same to me and we get dirty with it, his smile is the cutest he ever showed me, unlike me he is modest and never brags about his skills, and I eat the snow that covered my face while he might find that weird.

I do have a problem with him, he sticks to me way too much when is around and I know he only does that to piss me off, he worries for me because I'm not strong like them...

"About the militaries... is Shadow the one who sent you here ?" I mention him cautiously.

"Shadow ? I don't see any snails named like that." he says in laughter.

"More seriously ! Who opened the door of your cellar and gave you my location !?" I ask faking my anger.

"It was already opened. The others noticed but wanted to sleep, except for this so friendly guy we had on the team because a little someone bragged a lot about it." he says hinting the friendly word that only I would understand.

"You mad ?" I ask smugging.

"I'm not ! I'm just saying that this guy is such a pain ! Controlling one werewolf at night is already hard enough. But two at the same time is a different story ! Plus he wasn't part of my harem to begin with."

Did he say something just know or I misheard, because it doesn't match his lips ? The harem part seemed out of place this time... In any case, this cat being here, I guess I can do funny things.

"Naomi respects you, everyone respects you, we like to call you idiot because we like you." I hereby declare.

I eat snow, kitsunes like me loves the taste of snow, I don't get why, it might just be a weird habit of my past ancestors, still... I'm getting a cold, I might sneeze any time now...

"You haven't been yourself for a while. And I know exactly what you need ! To hear my jokes and they will make you succumb into... into something great !" Damien says, not finding the word he was looking for.

I look around us, I need to get some clothes because it's getting cold and I just don't feel like using magic right now, I don't feel like I can do much, I just protect myself from the cold by hugging Damien from behind as he is the only source of heat I have and relying on my friend is better than the other method, so he takes me on his back as he walk towards somewhere, snow falling on us.

"You really didn't go easy on them." I comment.

"Neither did they. We will find you things to wear and then someone to heal your wounds." he says as he walks.

"Where exactly ?" I ask out of curiosity.

"I've been thinking about it and..." he takes his time to put words.

"And ?" I ask impatiently.

"You should be part of my harem !" I can't see his face but he did say that with a straight and astonishing serious face.

I grab on his tail with my right hand, holding it firmly, making sure to hurt him a little and go put my hand back on his shoulder.

"That's low. Why would I be part of it ?" I ask him out loud.

"Ow ! Because you like to do this kinda stuff, I mean... I know that you would get one if you had the chance... so I have to get you before it happens !" he expresses clearly as he speaks.

"I'm not that desperate." I declare.

He sighs as it reaches his ears, his cute little ears... why some ears are so attractive that I want to lick them ?

"By the way, do you really think you ended the world by just touching some grass ? Wouldn't it make more sense if it was someone else's doing ? See, I'm smart." he tells me.

"No, you just ask questions. I definitely am the one to blame." I immediately answer.

"You're more stupid than I am. It's a fact." he replies proudly.

"Will you stop saying such horrible things to the nice soul I am ? Quit with your nonsense and move faster !" I order him to and he obeys, running faster and faster while I keep grabbing him with my hands, it hurts for him but at least it motivates him to get over with it.

We finally get under a roof made out of wood soon after, he squats down so i can get off his back, I stay wake as he turns around to see me in the eyes.

"Never say that I hate that friendly guy that is in your family because of a pretty stubborn girl."

"No need to be shy, I think ? But since you are, I'll call you Tiny Dick !"

"Hey ! You can't call me that !"

"But it's true ! Tiny Dick, Tiny Dick, Tiny Dick !" I repeated over and over.

"Right. I think I'll remove some more of your clothes, because since you are part of my harem you don't need to hide anything from me."

"Tiny Dick !" I repeat once again to make fun of him.

"My name is not Tiny Dick ! How can you know the size of my dick anyway !?" he demands of me in anger, his eyebrows moved accorded to his feelings.

I don't want to say such an embarrassing thing, but there is really no point in hiding it... and he throws an orange shirt and black short at me that I put on myself.

"Hum... let's just say I was curious and that I ended up doing things while you slept. Karen told me that boys and girls had different... between there legs... so I checked on you ! I did nothing wrong I promise !" I say in embarrassment, blushing like a tomato, laughing a little.

"When ? You aren't so proud of yourself anymore now that I know why I was always naked down there !" he declares proud for finding out.

"Sure I may have checked many times in the middle of the night. I mean... he didn't stop me even if he was awake."

"See ! This guy is a total asshole ! He let's me being toyed with and uses it to blackmail me !"

"He even encouraged me to do it, at least Naomi never found out or I would have been scolded badly." I cry as I die of laughter.

"It's not funny ! I bet you never had anyone sneaking into your room." he pouts.

"Actually, there is someone who did it but I only learned it two days ago. A boy your size, every night he would watch me and I never noticed."

"What did he see !?"

"It's embarrassing so I won't tell you."

I hide my face becoming as red as a tomato, walk around this house made only of wood of a dark and light brown, I don't really care about tree's names and can't even remember a single one of them, trees are just meant to be killed... While I'm meant to live a life full of freedom.

Someone walks down the stairs I was about to ascend, I stayed back, staying behind Damien's back and keep my eyes focused on the stairs.

Damien looks at the stairs waiting for the someone as he mocks me.

"If I'm a tiny dick you are a tiny chest." he argues.

I don't even have the right to answer when I'm so scared that someone comes near us, I'm stressing all over him so I hug him firmly, not letting go of him, I can feel the chill down my spine and I'm holding back on sneezing.

Someone's walking very slowly, it's a hat, a hat has been doing such ruckus, it's so unexpected and scary at the same time, it's impressing how it moves by itself and suddenly stops.

"Where are you my next harem member !?" my catboy friend asks in a pervy way and that's when the someone with an human scent come down the stairs.
