I laid in my bed and I couldn't help but stare at my wall and think about what I should do. 

On one side, my father would most likely try to kill Sero. More likely he would succeed. Sero is strong, but he wouldn't be able survive a fight with my father. Me claiming Sero is just a death sentence for him.

But on the other hand, I want Sero. I want him to be apart of my life, until the day I die. I want to claim him as mine, and him to claim me as his. But he's already done that in a way.

I smiled and felt my neck where he put my first hickey, I couldn't help but giggle to myself. Until I heard footsteps in the hallway. I could tell they were my Dad's by how heavy they were. I rolled over and looked at the bottom of the doorway, and watched a shadow go past my room. 

'What is he doing? Him and Mom's room is on the other side of the house.'

He was going to the spare room, where Sero was.

I jumped out of bed and went to my balcony and jumped over to the spare bedrooms balcony ledge and looked through the glass door. I watched the door open and my father stepped inside, before walking over to the bed. 

He held his hand up and a katana appeared in his hand. He grabbed the handle and as soon as he started to unsheath it, I jumped through the glass door and got on the bed crouching over Sero's body.

"Y/n?" He asked, and started to get up. I put my hand on his chest and pushed him back to the bed.

"Stay down." I told him, but I didn't break eye contact with my father.

"Move out of the way." He told me.

"I won't let you touch him." I told my father.

"You are going to marry a fox!" He told me.

"Says you." I said.

"Yes, says me." He told me.

"We're not doing anything to harm your precious honor." I told him. "I haven't claimed him."

"Which is even more of a disgrace than if you were to claim him!" He shouted, but I didn't flinch. I will not let him touch Sero. 

"Then I will claim him!" I shouted back. "And then if you so much as try and touch him I will slit your fucking throat!" I told him. Father swung his Katana down at both me and Sero. I quickly pulled Sero out of the way and off the bed. "Hold onto me." I said, and Sero wrapped his arms around my shoulders while he was behind me. "Don't you dare let go." 

"Never." Sero said in my ear, and I moved us around the room, dodging my fathers attacks until I had a clear shot out and into the hallway. My father wouldn't let me get out easy through the way I came into the room.

"Y/n!" I heard my mother call out, but I didn't look to her. All my focus had to be on protecting Sero. My father continued to try and attack me and I backed us up in the hallway. I backed us all the way into the living room and dining room, but my father blocked the doorway to get any further out of the house. 

I grabbed one of the dining room chairs and threw it into the window and the chair went crashing through the glass and I ran for it. I heard wind behind me, and saw that my father threw the sword at us and I thrusted my arm up and used the palm of my hand to hit the blade just in time, for it to stick straight out of the ceiling.

"Sero." I said and jumped us out the window. I wrapped my tail around him as he shot his tape at the top of the window and we started falling slower to the ground. But it was too slow, as I watched my father cut the tape.

We fell the rest of the way to the ground, and I held Sero so I was the one to take the hit.

"Are you okay?" Sero asked me and got off of me. 

"I'm fine." I wheezed out, and heard a small bit of glass crunch and looked behind me and up to see my father about to come down on top of us. 

I pulled Sero out of the way and move my legs apart as the katana slammed down in between my legs, almost hitting me. I growled and swung my leg to the side and kicked him in the face, and dragged Sero away from him. 

He got to his feet and I pushed him behind me. I watched my mom out of the corner of my eye run out of the house and into our courtyard with us. 

"Claim him!" My mom screamed and her words rang in my ears, as my father chucked his katana at us.
