'...where am I..?'

I felt really light-headed.

"Wha---sei?"

"---not---"

I heard some voices.
But I still couldn't process them.

"---ate----?"

"---ould--"

My head is spinning.
And I felt pain from my body.

"----oka--"

"Alr----"

That sound..
I know this voice.

"--go then."

"I'll take you down."

I recognise these voices..

"Nyanko-sensei, Hinoe,

I'll leave her with you."

'Yes..
Those voices are..-'

I heard the door's sliding.

And it became silent.

'How I hate silent..'

I stir from my sleep,
the silence is uncomfortable.

I attempt to open my eyes,
but my eyelid felt heavy.

But still,
the silence is something I hate.

'I want to wake up.'

I slowly open my eyes,
but as light came in vision,
I closed my eyes again.

I blink a few times,
getting adjusted to the brightness.

"Oh, she's waking up."

An unfamiliar voice stated.

As my eyes adjusted,
I saw a place I don't recognise.

'Where is this?'

I stopped the urge to get up,
as my body shot pains when I moved a little.

"Are you okay girl?"

I look at the source of the voice.
A beautiful woman,
with dark blue hair.

I unconsciously blush at how beautiful she is.

"I'm okay.."

I whisper out.

"Well at least Natsume will be relieved."

I started to feel uncomfortable in this condition.
My whole body is stiff.

I don't like this.

I started to move,
and attempt to seat up.

"I would like to advise you--"

I partically ignore that,
and uses my right arm to support me.
When my shoulder shot more pains.

"--to not get up."

I hisses lightly,
as I fell back to the futon.

"Well, I've warned you."

'It hurts-'

I held back the tears.
Because I still don't know where this is.

"Geez, Madara.
You shouldn't just say something.
You should help her!"

'Just who are they?
Who's Madara?'

I then started to remember.
I was kidnapped earlier and..

Natsume helped me.

'Natsume!
Where is he..?'

I can't see anything while laying down.
I attempt to seat up again.

"Geez, such a handful brat."

Suddenly I felt support from my back.

"W-Woah-"

I yelped out in surprise.

As I am now seated up,
I look around.

I remember the help earlier
and quickly turns backway,

"U-Uh, thank you-!"

I say before I realise what I'm talking to.
A huge white beast's face.

It's the same beast that saved me.

"T-Thank you.."

I stated once again.
He replies with grunts,
and shifted his face to the other way.

"Ara ara, are you blushing Madara?"

The beautiful woman seem to be teasing the beast.

"Shut it, Hinoe."

The beast,
um, Madara grunts.

I unconsciously giggles at their interaction.

"I'm back."

The door slides open,
revealing Natsume.

"Welcome back Natsume!
The girl is already conscious."

Natsume seems to be very relieved.

"I'm glad..
Thanks Hinoe, Nyanko-sensei."

His face..

'Was he worried?'

I bit my lower lip.

"I-I'm sorry for making troubles.."

The three of them
seems to be surprised at my apologise.

I look downwards,

'I made everyone else worried.
I made troubles.-'

I gasp lightly as I saw a few flashbacks.

"You should be responsible!
You can't make anyone else troubled nor worried.
As a part of this household,
you must be able to do everything by yourself!"

I gasps a few more times,
as tears started to form.

"I'm sorry..
I'm sorry..."

I continued to mumble.
I shook my head,
and moved both of my hands to close my ears.

Ignoring the pain that shots up to my shoulder,
I curl myself.

"I'm sorry.."

I sobbed.
