15 Hikari Okami: Kitsune Prince

"Anyway, it is getting late. Let's hurry to where you're staying."

Deciding not to argue with him any longer, she followed him obediently as they made their way through the crowed lively street.

While walking, she noticed people were not looking at them or walking close to where they were; as though there was an invisible wall separating them from other people.

Not wanting to start another round of questions with him, she decided to keep the strangeness of what was happening around them to herself.

Unknown to her, Hikari was releasing a spell of protection to guard them as they passed in the mist of the humans. He did not want to leave it to chance that she may be attacked by anyone.

On getting to her apartment building, she noticed that none of the residents were walking about; assuming they might be asleep or at work as the place seemed quiet. She climbed the steps leading to her place.

Once she arrived, she remembered she didn't lock her door for she wasn't conscious enough when leaving earlier. Opening the door, she allowed herself in as Hikari, closely walked behind her.

All the while observing the human who just saved his life "Strange, she isn't asking anymore questions, as a young female is she supposed to allow any male entrance into her home?" he thought to himself , not knowing where the possessive feeling came from as he felt irritated by the possibility that she allowed just anyone in.

"Do you allow just anyone to come and see you?"

"Why do you ask?" she said.

"I told you to take me to where you lived, and you didn't put up a fight. Do all humans act this way?" he said in a tone that barely suppressed his anger.
