As the group of six were walking home, it was silent. Well, because two of them still weren't completely trusting the two brunettes and the ravenett. Mafu did take notice so he made sure to try to keep an eye on Shima and Eve so that they wouldn't try to attack anyone.

When they finally arrived at the house he remembered, he had a small smile. He was happy that he could see his other friends too. But, he also couldn't really ignore the feeling of sudden fear from what happened in the village. He tried shrugging it off before Kashitarou had opened the door for the group as they started walking in.

Eve and Shima stood behind the albino, before hearing Amatsuki yell out suddenly.

"URATA! SENRA!"

The two flinched from the tone of the red-eyed brunette's voice. From the beginning to them, he just looked like some kind of nice guy before they had stepped into the house.  Then, they saw the brunette heading up the stairs before the sound of a door opening could be heard.

"GET YOUR BUTTS DOWN HERE!" He yelled. In all honesty, Shima and Eve were actually scared from the yelling so they were behind the angel. But Mafu and Soraru on the other hand, they were hiding behind Kashitarou. The brunnette turned his head at the four, "Why are you guys behind me?!"

Soraru just replied, "Because, im sure your the only one who can calm down your boyfriend before he can kill anyone else here in the house!"

Kashitarou turned red, "W-Wait but he isn't my boyfriend-!" Mafu only shook his head, "Just ignore him.. Right now just please calm down Ama-chan!"

Before the brunette could agree, Amatsuki had come down the stairs, dragging two males by their clothing. "I cant believe it!" He then turned to Senra and Urata, "I asked you to clean the kitchen just for today, and I find you do nothing?!"

As the brunette scolded them, Kashitarou was brave enough to tap his shoulder. Amatsuki turned to him, "Yes Kashi?" Kashitarou then simply started patting his head, "Calm down." Soraru only gave a blank stare at the two, "Kashi, he's not a dog."

Mafu giggled a bit before lifting his hand up to point at the brunette, "But I mean, it's working~" Soraru and Kashitarou looked at the albino confused before turning to Amatsuki. The male's face was fully red, he was silent as well, so Kashitarou smirked before petting him a bit more.

Even though they were enemies, Eve and Shima couldn't help but find the interactions with the two brunettes a bit cute. Urata and Senra then stood up before bowing infront of Kashitarou.

"We pay respect for you for calming down the beast." Amatsuki gave a glare before the brunette had hugged him for a few seconds before letting go, "There, now, why don't you let them off the hook today? They were busy yesterday last night and you know it. So please dont blame them."

Amatsuki sighed before nodding, "Fine.. Alright. Sorry Urata, Senra." Urata huffed, "Well thanks for the apology.. Though I wished you hadn't pulled us out of our bed so suddenly..." The brunnette frowned, "Sorry.." The blond infront of him then smiled, "It's fine, we forgive you. Sides, it's not like we're mad at you."

Shima turned to the albino before whispering to him, "Lets sneak out while they're distracted...-"

"So.. Who are those two behind Mafu-kun?" Senra asked, giving a small glare at the two behind the angel. Soraru then gave a sigh, "Don't worry, they're one of Mafu's friends we saved back at the village." He explained. Senra and Urata just tilted their heads in confusion.

"So you saved two of our enemies?" Urata said, concerned but Soraru then replied while crossing his arms, "And? Mafu isint any different. And yet you all wanted me to not lock him up." The green-eyed brunette kept quiet before sighing, "Fine, I guess your right." Senra had then turned to look at the albino before noticing something.

"What's that?" He asked, pointing at the markings near his chest and shoulders. Amatsuki then remembered before quickly walking to Mafu, "Jeez.. I'm sorry Mafu-kun, I should've given you new clothing to wear for now..."

Senra raised an eyebrow at them, "Why? Did something happen back at that new village or something?" The group nodded silently before Kashitarou turned to look at Soraru, "Well... Me and Amatsuki didint really see but, Soraru did."

Eve and Shima gave a glare at the swordsman, thinking he had done something to their friend. The ravenett sighed before explaining, "Turns out, that village wasn't as pleasent as it seemed. Their leader had Mafu with him... And-" He stopped talking before noticing the albino next to him starting to shake a little. "You okay?" He asked with concern.

"Yeah im fine, I just.. I-Im just still shaken up a bit from Suzumu-san..." Eve then spoke out loud with a stern voice, "What? What did he do to you?"  The angel just then hugged him and Shima tightly, "H-He... Started..." The ravenett sighed before patting the angel's head before speaking gently to him, "You can tell us..."

"H-He... Started touching me..."

"Give us a moment."

The group nodded before the swordsman gently grabbed the albino's hand, taking him to his room. As he closed the door behind him, he sat down on the bed with the male before taking a deep breath.

"How and where? Could you show me that way I can tell Sou if you need any healing seeing that.. You have a few cut marks."

The angel nodded before showing most around the chest and his shoulders, few areas had cuts while most had bruises. His legs had more bruises the the rest of the areas, Mafu was already on the verge of tears. He hugged the swordsman tightly, "If you hadn't come.. He would've already... B-Because he wanted to go further... I told him to stop but- he started to hit me to make me do it with him..."

Soraru frowned before gently hugging back as he kept the angel in his arms quietly. Then the door had opened, seeing a very upset Shima and Eve.

"Ok, you can't just keep him here! Now hands off the angel-"

"Shh..."

The two males then saw Mafu silently starting to asleep in the ravenett's arms. They hushed but still gave a glare to the swordsman anyways. Soraru sighed before whispering, "I'll explain once he's fully asleep."

They nodded before closing the door gently, leaving the two alone. Soraru looked down at the albino before having a tiny smile before hugging him slightly tighter tham berore.

"It'll be ok... We won't let him touch you ever again.."
