   Just wanna make it through the night
There really giving me the eye!
He had to jump over the bush, just to make sure he didn't do a face plant into the ground, that wouldn't be a good thing, really it wouldn't. It would make it harder for him to get away.Today, he just didn't feel like being in a fight, it meant loosing something that could have been fun, but he also didn't want to have a bruise to add onto. Words had already flown through the air, and he didn't need o be the next thing in the air! That was why he was running, and that was why he had to jump over the bushes. Though he took a glance behind him, his grin stretching as far as it could go on his well toned face.
The man in the mask wasn't behind him! The day he hadn't thought about picking a fight with someone, he ended up doing it anyways, with out the intentions even in his brain. Maybe he was too user to this life, in stead of how it once was, maybe he was too use to having no one there to slap him and say that isn't how a gentlemen should act. That could have been it, but either way you took it, he liked how his life had turned out. Even if the boy picked one too many fights in the house hold, and most weren't even on purpose.
His red hair seemed to spike upon his head; his running seem to slow as he finally faced forward, only to realize that he was fixing to run into someone. He tried stopping and moving out of the way so he didn't hit the person, but he still did just that. He took her down with him. A groan came from Shiba's mouth as he sat up, now he had a headache, wasn't that just great? "Sorry" A half hearted one was what he gave, not all of his manners had stuck with him, but he was at least good enough to say sorry to the person he ran into.
Didn't that count for something? His dark red eyes went to the person that was also on the ground, only running over them quickly before he was working on trying to stand.

She had followed her mistress into the strange tunnel,getting lost but then coming up from the basement and into that horrid room.Filled with devices for torture and pleasure,it was nothing like the Kerrington house where everything was sweet and didn't have that much of a dark aura around it.This place gave her the creeps,this whole mansion did oh why did she have to be so curious and come here.And then somehow coming up from the basement,she had found her way to the front door and then outside the gardens where she just stood standing with her little stuffed kitty.
"Oh what am I to do now....".
She had to get back before she was missed,she had no master since no one has claimed her yet.Suddenly she felt herself pushed to the ground,letting out a small yell when she hit the grass.Her stuffed animal flew out of her arms landing only a few feet away,she then pushed herself up and looked over to the man who has been so rude as to bang into her did he not know where he was going.
"You should be sorry,that really hurt".

Shiba blinked at her. How old was she? It was bad to think that she could have been seven, or something close to that age, but then again you stopped aging once you entered the house, right? She looked really young, and it almost wanted to make him ask her just how old she was. Why did such things make him curious? It wasn't a good thing to be curious, he knew that, but he couldn't help it. He knew it was rude to ask a girl how old they were, so he bit his toung back. And just hopped he wouldn't slip on it.
He'd already stood up, and in her moment of saying he should be sorry, he'd moved to get the thing that had fallen out of her hands, which happened to be a stuffed animal? Now he really did have to try and hold back the question, she probably wouldn't like him asking such a thing, she probably heard it enough from others. Shiba moved back and held his hand out to her, he towered over her. But he did that with anyone, his grin had faded into nothing more than a small smile, that really couldn't be helped with half the things anymore. But then again, what could he really do but offer to help her up?
"I already said I was sorry" He gave a small laugh after that little sentence. "What more could I do?"

Pepper could tell he was looking at her,wondering how old she really was.She had arrived at the other house when she was only fourteen,and now she was seventeen.But when at the other house she acted sweet and enjoyed tea parties and cakes,also sweets those we're her favorite things.But being here had changed her abit,maybe she shouldn't have been so curious as to see what this place was like.When the young man offered his hand to help her up,she took ahold and stood slowly brushing off her dress.
"Now if you would kindly hand me my stuffie".
She blinked,did that just come from her mouth.That didn't sound sweet at all,it sounded demanding and out of turn.She was a slave yet had no master,probably because she was shy and always kept to herself.Could this be the work of the curse over this mansion,if that was so then she needed to rush back to Kerrington House before her sweet side disappered forever.She was always kind and greatful,and it was rare she ever spoke out of turn to someone else.
"I um......sorry".

She didn't even look like a fourteen year old! But of course, he still didn't no how old she was, but did that even matter anymore? Not really, that had even blown from the teens mind. Meaning it wasn't fairly important, not enough to stay in his mind anymore. He did not no about the other house, no he was perfectly fine with knowing about this one, and he would probably end up finding out about the other one soon enough,, so that saved one thing, right? The passage way wouldn't be hard for him to find, if he ever ventured into the basement, that is.
Though almost everyone who didn't torture strayed away from the door down there. And most wouldn't be caught dead by it, unless you happened to be a slave that was unlucky to have a master that liked going down there, then you were screwed. But Shiba stayed away from that so he wouldn't have something to remember, his mother had been a slave, and his father shot her because she finally met her son. That made him think of his mother, and how she died while hugging him. And remembering that wasn't good for him, even if he was no longer Raika, but Shiba instead.
"Ouch, that hurts" His grin was back as he held her stuffed animal out to her, he hadn't planned on keeping it, after all he'd gotten it to give it back to her, he just hadn't realized he still held on to it. Shiba was sure he hadn't had someone use that sort of tone with him in about three years, not since he was fifteen, but the thoughts upon that were quickly pushed away, and he took his mind off of that by talking to the very young looking teen. "It's not a problem, ma'am." A rare time which those very old manners of his showed, maybe a once in a liftime chance for someone. |

She took back her stuffed animal and held it close to her chest,she had to go she needed to get back before she lost all her common sense.Just being near this house was enough to make her lose her sweetness,so that's why she would go back through the front door and down to the basement and back into the trap door.But that meant going back pass all those torture devices,she buried her face into her stuffed cat just thinking about all those horrible devices that we're down there who did the master of this house think he was having all that down there just to get a kick out of the screams.
"Just call me......Pepper".
Pepper couldn't allow herself to be called ma'am,it made her status look like nothing if he called her that.As her purple eyes looked up at the young man,she might as well come clean and tell him she was a slave from another house.That she had wandered into the secret passage,then wound up here of all places just to feel the effects on how strong the curse really was here.She could feel it,it was a alot stronger and had a stronger grip on this house then the other house she was from.
"I am a slave from Kerrington House,I came here from the secret passage in the basement".

For someone who acted so recklessly and at will, he was not dumb. He was pretty smart, it was one of the traits he wanted to keep form the old him that he had once been. He could tell that she didn't belong there, but then again few people didn't. She just looked too inncocent to really belong in a house like such. Most people in the house had something wrong with them, there was one thing or another. Some liked to torture, or others stayed away from people who also lived in the house. Most had at least one thing wrong with them, Shiba just happened to be someone he wasn't born as. This house was odd, and he even almost freaked when she got done talking.
"It's nice to meet you, Pepper."His hand ran through his vibrant red hair, making a few more strands spike up. More than he thought normally would have. His thinking kicked in after a moment, she had said she was a slave from Kerrington House. There was another house with a curse over it? Even that amazed the boy, he was so use to this one. He hadn't thought that there was another one, that possibility hadn't of come to him.
And now there was a secret passage in the basement? Well, of course he wouldn't no that! After all, he stryed away form that place. "You came through the basement? I wouldn't go back then, the basement's a dreadful place, many stray away from that area. And I wouldn't tell many that your a slave, some like the game or torture in this house." He was trying to help her out, giving her a little heads up about the house. "Well Miss. Pepper, I didn't no there was another house with a curse over it, but I can tell you where you are. The Haruka Mansion lies right past us." That didn't sound odd did it? He wasn't like some of the people in the house, he was not twisted in ways, he was one of the normal one's in the house, and if the girl wanted home so badly, he'd be the one to offer to help her get down there.

"But I have to go back there,it's my only way home".
Now the only problem was to navigate her way through the tunnels,and it was dark down there and very musty.Lucky for her there had been a torch,she of course thought that was odd having that in a tunnel but at least it helped her find her way.But next time she would bring a flashlight,it was much brighter and you could see more with a flashlight instead of having to hold a torch and being afraid of having the fire blow in your face.
"The Haruka Mansion,the mistress often spoke of this place".
Her mistress has been wanting to find a way to lift the curse,but so far nothing.The only help Pepper had been was finding a book,it explained about the tunnel and all the different passages and traps that lay down there.She had no idea why the tunnel was built,and for what purpose it played into these two houses but somehow it connected them to eachother and the curse didn't reach down there.
"I read a book,the curse doesn't touch people in the tunnel".
