Jewels POV
I blink so many times I feel like my eyelids are going to fall off. I seem to be stuck between a hard place and a soft place, both emanating heat. There was a slow steady beat coming out of the hard place, and I knew it was a heartbeat. I pushed back on the soft place and it moved back a little, so I could look up. When I did, I almost screamed. I looked up and saw the huge face of Seto staring at me with relief. His eyes were a soft pink, but I didn't care, I couldn't trust him. As he reached down to comfort me, I held up a flat hand and curled into a ball. 'Do what you want with me, Master' I said in a timid voice. I felt his hand softly uncurl me and I saw his eyes that were multicoloured. 'What do you mean...um' 'Jewel' I said. 'Okay then, what do you mean Jewel? You know I wouldn't hurt you' he asked in confusion, as if he couldn't remember what he did to me. 'Do I?' I replied, my question hitting him like a bullet, visibly hurting him. His gaze flew around the room and seemed to fix on absolutely nothing, and they slightly became more red tinged every time he stopped. He seemed to reach an understanding and his eyes became the colour of a lobster. 'How could I?!' he yelled, in a voice that hurt my ears, so I flattened them. 'How could I let my power and human hate overtake me?' His hand closed around me as he stood up, and I became scared that he might crush me without even noticing.

Seto's POV
My brain was clouded with fury as I thought about how I almost killed my key to stay alive. I barely noticed Jewels struggling figure in my clenched fist. My eyes turned violet and I was about to throw my favourite chair across the room, when I remembered. My rage faded and I sat back down, my eyes their usual dark brown. I opened my fist and saw her, with her clothes all crinkled and her hair messy. 'I'm sorry Jewel. I guess that's what happens when your anger bubbles close to the surface' I tried not to laugh, but I knew my eyes told a different story. She didn't buy it, but she did start crying. She plopped down onto my palm and sobbed hard. I reached out my finger and lightly ran my fingertip down her spine, but it didn't help. 'I'm so sorry. I wasn't in control when I did what I did, but I'm sorry about anything I did. My human hate for Nekos overtook me, like I was being possessed by myself.' I said sincerely. Jewels sobbing subsided and she looked at me, her small vivid green eyes staring into my dark brown ones. 'I know. It's just hard to forget what you did.' I took her words deeply and I softly hugged her to my chest,feeling her tail curling around a finger, our combined breathing lulling me to sleep...
