“This place must be getting to me. Why would the memory of so long ago be resurfacing?” he thought aloud.
“One of these days, I’ll have to ask the human if we could go to some places together.” as the thought crossed his mind, he wondered why he wanted her by his side.
The next morning when Miyako woke up, what she saw destroyed the initial dream she had about him. Lying next to her in bed, with his arms holding her close, was Hikari.
“What are you doing in my bed?!” she asked, forcing her voice to sound annoyed so that he would not detect how embarrassed she felt.
“I didn’t think you would be safe on your own. That is why I decided to spend the night with you.”
“What do you mean by spend the night with me? I didn’t ask for your protection, I have been doing fine on my own before you came, so you can leave now!” As her voice rose in anger.

“Calm down, young human, I didn’t do anything to you while we slept….”
“You had better not! You’re the first person to sleep in the same bed with me. You cannot even imagine how I feel right now, you invaded my space and you’re not even sorry!”
“You have my sincere apology! I just wanted you to be safe,” said Hikari, as he wondered why she was getting agitated over such a trivial matter.
“You can go now, I’ll be fine,” while saying this, she inched forward to make her way out of the bed.
“What is there to eat, I’m sure you humans must need food to survive.”
“How can you expect me to prepare food in the state I’m in?” Wondering why he couldn’t see that his words were rubbing her the wrong way.
“Very well, tell me what there is to know about how you prepare your food, then I’ll take over from there,” he said in a placating tone.
“As soon as I’m done taking my bath, I’ll show you what you need to know.” With that, she left him for the bathroom.
“Humans sure are difficult creatures, what have I said to cause such anger? Especially, so early in the morning. Now I know she doesn’t want me here… but still her safety is of great importance.” thinking to himself.
