-AUTHOR POV-

-The Next Day-

The next day...it was a sunny day, as (YN) was done cleaning up the house as Eri was on the table, coloring and drawing as (YN) approaches to her from behind...

(YN): What you doing there half pine??

Eri: Oh! I'm drawing and Coloring!

(YN): Nice, we'll I'm going to order some food, you hungry??

Eri: Pizza!

(YN): Hehe, alright.

Eri: (YN).

(YN): Yeah?

Eri gets off from the chair as she was holding on the drawing she just finish, she approaches to (YN)...and then to show her her drawing...it was a drawing of her and (YN), as the two were holding hands, smiling together...with a huge heart around themselves and yet (YN) having a cape around his neck, showing that he is a hero to her, for saving her, helping her, and taking care of her really well...he then felt...he felt like he likes the drawing even more, he knows this drawing has a meaning...he looks at Eri as he can see her smiling happily and says..

Eri: So, do you like it??

(YN) holds onto the picture...and to look at Eri smiling...as he gave a little soft smile...and to pay her head and saying...

(YN): I love it, hehe. It's looks nice Eri...and look, you even picture my looks, so artistic.

Eri: *giggles* You're funny.

(YN): Heh, but seriously though...I like it Eri, a lot.

Eri: I'm glad you do...

Eri slowly approaches to (YN) and hugs him...

Eri: I'll always want to be on your side forever.

(YN) smiles as he hugs Eri as well..

(YN): Me too Eri, me too.

After having a little moment...(YN) then places the picture up on the fridge and places a magnet on it as Eri liked it to be there...

Eri: It's perfect!

(YN): Yup, now how about we get that pizza?

Eri: Yay!!

(YN): Okay, let me order-

But suddenly...

His door was knocked...

(YN): ...Eh? Someone's knocking??? Weird...I don't usually have visitors.

Eri: Who is it, (YN)??

(YN): I don't know, but stay here Eri, I'll go see who it is.

Eri: Okay.

Eri rushes to the sofa as she then grabs her teddy bear...as she does...(YN) approaches to his door and yet to hear it knocking again...

(YN) Mind: Strange...who would come visit me?? No one's ever come to my residence besides Naomasa, and he hasn't said a thing about coming over, so who?? I have to get on my guard.

(YN) got to his door...as he slowly grabs the knob...and clenches his hand as he gets ready to attack...he u cooks the door....and opens it...and as he does...a man with a black shirt sleeve suit with a black tie as well, and a black mask with short brown hair was incongruous on the door...

???: Good afternoon, sorry for the interruption, didn't mean to bother you.

(YN) felt like this person didn't seem so much of a threat at all...although he's wearing a black mask...

(YN): No...not at all. Can...I help you??

???: Well you see-Heh, we'll look at that. Where are my manners at?? Please to meet you sir, the names Kai Chisaki.

Chisaki offers (YN) a handshake...at first (YN) doesn't even want to greet him...but yet, he does anyways...

(YN): ...(YN), (YN) (LN).

Chisaki: A pleasure to meet you, (YN).

Suddenly...Eri approach to (YN) from behind...

Chisaki: Why, who's this little angel here??

Chisaki gets on his knees and offers Eri a handshake as well...

Chisaki: Hello little one.

As Chisaki even reach his hand to her...Eri felt a weird vibe from him...and yet...she somehow recognizes his voice, but from where...all she can do is hide behind (YN)...

(YN): Eri? Sorry, she's-

Chisaki: Hehe, no worries it's fine, little kids like her can be shy, I get it. She's your daughter???

(YN): ...N-No not really...she's...well...*sighs* It's kinda hard to explain this to you...but...I found her on the streets, helpless and all, so I took her with me and well...I've been taking care of her and...tried looking for her parents, but nothing, and the other thing is...some group of plague mask men were looking for her...and I don't know what they want from her, but from what I can tell...they must've torture her and scared her, so that's why I've kept her and taken her real good.

Chisaki: Oh my, so harsh to hear, and so sorry for the little one too...and that's why I'm here for.

(YN): Huh??? What are you talking about??

Chisaki: You see...I've heard rumors about these "men" hunting for this girl and capturing her, and I think I've finally find her, right here...with you.

Chisaki (Overhaul) gave this glare to Eri...until he then says...

Chisaki: So yeah, and her name is Eri, right?? Like you said??

(YN): Y-Yeah, it's Eri.

Chisaki: Well Mr.(YN), I have a way to help her find herself a home.

(YN): ...And how's that??

Chisaki then pulls out a card from his pocket, and shows it to (YN)...

Chisaki: I work for this agency that can help children like her find themselves a new family...trust me, we've been looking for little Eri on our documents...and her parents well...let's say they flew high up in the sky, we've heard about it, and well...the rest is history.

(YN) now knows a little bit more about Eri...her parents were dead, but how?? That's the question...and he observers the card more...and it seems legit...he looks at Eri as she gave this worried face holding her teddy bear...as (YN) looks back at Chisaki and says..

(YN): ...If you're gonna help her, then I might as well join in, and see how does this agency works.

Chisaki: No problem. Don't worry, we'll make sure she finds herself the perfect family for her. Now...shall we get going??

(YN): Yea, let me and her get ready up first.

Chisaki: Good, I'll be waiting at the limo.

Chisaki walks away to the limo...and talks to himself...

Chisaki: Seems like it's going smooth...let this continue...and the plan will succeed...and Eri will be mines again.

Back with (YN)...Eri then tugs (YN)'s shirt as he gets down onto his knees...

(YN): Whats up Eri??

Eri: ...A-Are you gonna leave me..???

(YN): What???

Eri: ...That man...he said he was gonna find a family for me...but I don't want it, I want to be with you, only you, not any one else...! Y-You even pinky promise me...

Eri started to get a little emotional...as (YN) wipes the little tears off her eyes...

(YN): Hey Hey, it's okay...I never said anything about leaving you...I only said yes to him so he can think I'm actually considering to give you away, but that isn't my plan, once he takes me to his agency, I'll thank him for the help...but I won't be giving you to another family, cause I'll be the one taking care of you, so don't you worry little one.

Eri then gives a soft smile to him and replies...

Eri: O-Okay...!

(YN): Good...but, Eri...I gotta say...what happen to your parents?? Do you know.??

Eri looks down...and replies...

Eri: I-I don't know...I don't remember...I only remember...when those meanies kidnap me...and I manage to escape from them...and hid from them...and...and that...that is when you found me...

(YN) Mind: What??? So...her parents...were killed the day I found her...it wasn't even that long ago..!!

(YN) wanted to know about about her parents...but wants to forget it...and just get this over with so he can keep Eri and not giving her away...

(YN): I see...well, let's just get ready, as we get there, I'll tell them that I won't be giving you to another family and I'll keep you for good.

Eri: O-Okay.

(YN): Right, let's get ready then.
