"Here, this is today's breakfast. We don't have any money left" Zijie said after he slammed the bowel of bread on the dining table. The new dining table that is. The air was odd and awkward. It seemed Zijie was in a bad mood. No one knew what to say or do.

"Ah...ah....okay, let's eat" Chris decided to clear the air a little. Zijie took a seat facing Yui. They decided to go see Ren and Eric today. They already sent a message to Rick and the others to meet them at the Creak Mansion.

"Ah,.....I have something to say" Yui said slowly raising up his hand. "Why is that our breakfasts are different?" Yui asked cautiously. He knew Zijie was in a bad mood. He didn't went to be on his bad side but he,......

He looked at the bowel of soup before Chris, Fred and Yui and on the bowel of fresh water before.

He had to ask.

Why was he eating fresh bread with fresh water while the others where having hot soup with fresh bread. Why? Just how long was this punishment going to continue?

Taking the small kitchen knife beside him, Zijie looked at Yui with murderous intent, pointing the knife at Yui in a threatening way. "You still don't know? You won't eat?"

"Thank you for the food" Yui replied and just that like, he began eating his breakfast which was fresh bread with fresh water with a fake smile even complimenting Zijie on how good it was.

Both Chris and Fred were doing everything to suppress the laughter which wanted out and if anyone around was paying attention to them, they would know it wasn't working.

Creak Mansion

Its been days now and there still hasn't been any news Relly and Hiroki. Ren already worried, thinking that maybe something bad happened to them.

And even Yui and Zijie hadn't pay them a visit since the last time them came. The last time he had a chat with Zijie about his feelings for Yui.

He hoped they sorted out their difference and they are okay now.

He looked down at Marie who was taking a nap on his lap and then Eric who seemed to be in a deep thought. They were in the living room, seated on the couches. They were the only masters in the house.

Johnny Creak, his wife and Ren's mother already went out. Johnny went for a meeting with the other ministers. The meeting had something to do with the castle, the queen, king or something.

With Johnny's wife and Ren's mother, they were to some social noble wife tea party. Something like that, he guess.

He, Eric and Marie were chatting with Marie, taking about how they were spend the Christmas and what gifts they wanted and before they knew, the kid had fallen asleep.

The past few days with Marie was really fun. Far more fun than he ever imagined. They actually looked like a real family. Ren wished they could stay like this forever. But he knew, there was no forever and there never will be.

"Miss, do you need anything?" Celi asked, drawing both Ren and Eric's attention. Ren placed his hand on his lips, shushing Celi when Marie stirred on his lap. Celi understood the message and nodded her head.

"No, thank you" Eric replied in a sold and low voice. Celi nodded, bowed slightly before leaving the perfect family.

"Here Eric, do you think we should start looking for the others?"

"I don't know baby" Eric replied, scratching his head.

Just then, the door bell rang. Eric and Ren looked at each other, suspicion and alert. None of them was expecting a visitors and it couldn't have been the Creaks because they just left.

None of them was expecting a visitor I said? They don't even know anyone else except the people in the house and no one had even pay them a visit and introduced themselves as an acquaintances before. So, who could it be?

"Ren, Take Marie back into her room and stay there until I say is safe" Eric said, getting up. Physically and mentally preparing himself for the door.

"You don't actually think I will let you deal with alone right. I'm taken Marie back and I'm coming back" Ren said, not waiting for Eric's response before picking up Marie and leaving for the kid's room.

Eric smiled, that was exactly what his Ren Ren would say. He would never let him face danger alone.

Heading for the door, Eric decided to ask kitten if he could help them. "Kitten, do you perhaps know who it is?" Using the name Ren has been using to call the cute cat since the first day and knowing perfectly well that, that name will bring the cat out wherever she was, he used it.

"Is your fucking head!!" The cat responded furious as it suddenly appeared beside Eric, this time with no book, glaring at him. Eric stopped in his tracks to face the dangerously cute cat.

"You came" Was all he said with a smirk on his face. Making him unbelievably and dangerously cool. Fuck! So this son of a bitch can also be cool?!!

"Oh, young master, I would have gotten it if you called me" the youngest of the maids said. She was 15years, the youngest of all the maids in the mansion and believe it or not, the most hard worker of them all too. It is safe to say, the maid couldn't see the cat only Eric could.

Realising that, he could be safe, a smile made its appearance on his face. Looks like he wasn't going to died first in case it was some kind of a bomb. Yes, it was a cowardly, heartless and an asshole move but for God sake, that thing wasn't real!!

Right?

He turned to look at vicious cat with a questioning look. Knowing perfectly well what he was asking about, the stern cat rolled its beautiful eyes, his hands folded before replying, "You're an asshole"

Before Eric could say anything else, the maid had already opened the door. "Jerk" was all Eric head before his eyes widened. I'm sure you very well know who said it.

He wasn't prepared yet and he wasn't ready either. Eric turned to look at who it was. Shit was about to go down if this was an attack or something.

He breathed out in relieve, his expression softening, relaxing when he realised it was just Zijie and Yui. No wait.

Eric opened the door wider, making the young maid let go of the door in surprised. His expression turned to shock when he saw Chris and Fred, holding hands. Fred smiled at his friend and master, happy to see that he was okay.

Kitten wasn't exactly surprise to see Yui, Zijie, Fred and Chris because she knew they were coming and they weren't the only ones.

Finding Eric's expression funny, Chris laughed before waving at the dummy Eric.
