Dark's P.O.V—

   "What?" I said. "It's no surprise that Dad's in jail but- Mom's dead?"

   "Yeah." Illinois nodded. "Dad killed her. They said he went crazy. Dad's on suicide watch and when they picked him up, they said he was curled up in a corner, shaking, blood covering his body and had a gun in his hand. They said he was mumbling about voices or something-"

  "Fu- Okay, go plan Mom's funeral." I rubbed my eyes. I felt Anti's arms around me and I heard the door close. I hugged Anti close to me, breathing in his scent.

  "Will you be okay?" Anti asked me softly. I nodded.

   "Yeah, I think so, little one. But I don't wanna think about that now. Let's get you a bath, yeah?" I said. His eyes lit up slightly, and he would've been jumping if it weren't for his back and ribs.

  "Come onnnnnn Dark! I wanna take a bath, hurry up!" Anti whined, almost dragging me to the bathroom. (Did I mention that Dark gave Anti a tour?)

   "Okay, okay." I chuckled. This Neko will be the death of me one day.

Anti's P.O.V—

  I silently cursed to myself. My heat starts tomorrow. And Dark doesn't know. Fu-

  I jumped as Dark knocked on the door frame, a slightly worried look on his face. "You okay there, little one? Is something wrong?"

  "Nothing! Nothing- what'd you need?" I asked.

  "Oh, well, I was wondering if you'd like to go out to eat tonight. I know a good restaurant that you may like, Kitty." He told me, a small half smile appearing on his face.

  My ears perked up slightly. "Really?"

  "Really."

  "Okay! Uh-" I looked down at my clothes, my ears flattening slightly. "These are the only clothes I have-"

  "Hey, kitty, it's alright, I'll run and get you some clothes okay? Will you be okay alone for about 10 minutes or so?" I nodded.

  "Yeah, I'll be okay." I said, fiddling with my shirt slightly.

Dark's P.O.V—

  I drove to the store to get Anti some clothes. I know by the color of his hair that he likes green, so, I got him a green flannel, some dark green ripped skinny jeans, and I also got him a few sweaters and shorts I'd think he'd like.

  As I walked out of the store, I felt a sinking feeling in my gut. Lime something was wrong. I quickly got into my car and drove to my house.

  I quickly ran into my house, the door standing wide open. I growled, feeling anger flow through me as I heard small whimpers.

  I made my way up the stairs and to my bedroom, finding Anti tied to the bed, blood on the sheets and all over his body. I growled at the man standing over him.

  "Actor. Get away from my Neko." I growled out, making Actor look at me. I saw the fear flash in his eyes before he disappeared.

  "D-Dark..." I snapped my head around to look at Anti, quickly rushing over to him. I untied him and held him to to my chest, letting him cry into my chest. I felt a low growl escape my throat, keeping a protective hand on the back of Anti's head.

  "It's okay, kitty, I'm here." I told him gently, holding him closer to me. "Let's get you a bath, okay? I'll patch you up afterwards and you can try on the clothes I bought you."

~Time Skip~

    "I like this one-" Anti said, wearing the green sweater and black skinny jeans I got him, along with the combat boots. "Can I wear this today?"

    "Of course you can, Kitty." I told him, smiling. It's been a couple days since the incident, and he seems to be feeling better, if not just a little.

   "Daaaaaaaarrrrrrkyyyyyyyy!" I groaned, knowing who was downstairs.

   "Stay here, kitty, I'll go deal with her." I told Anti, and he nodded.

  I walked down the stairs to see my ex girlfriend, Allyson. "What the fuck are you doing in my house."

  She looked at me, a look of mock hurt on her face. "I just wanted to see you." She pouted. I pointed to the door. Before I could say anything, I heard Anti's voice.

  "Get. Out."

Sorry it's so short. Writers block is a dick, ya know? I'll try to get another chapter out soon.
