Chapter 30 - Dear God


    Artemis tightens her grip on Homura. Her heart jumped to her throat blocking the airway to her lungs,


    her knees were betraying her, and her sweat run cold.


    The noises of the people echoed in her ears weakening her spirit. ''I''m such a fool'' she thought.


    ''I thought I can ovee my fears, but I can''t. I can''t do it without you Daisuke'' tears started to fall


    down her cheeks and onto the confused fox''s snout.


    "What''s up with you human?" Homura in irritation.


    "I can''t do it" she mumbled under her shaking breath, hugging Homura more firmly in her arms. Her


    fearful eyes stared into the town not far from where they were.


    "Do what? You humans are soplicated." He huffed. "Act tough in front of others but to cower away


    when things getplicated"


    Artemis wasn''t listening to the fox in her arms instead she was trembling in fear, it felt she was dying all


    over again, the same aching pain in her chest, the tensed muscles, and the trouble of breathing.


    No matter how many times she wanted to walk into the town and conquer the fear that held her back


    for years.


    She wanted to turn the other ay and run, run back to the awful mansion, and stay there forever and to


    nevere out even if it meant dealing with the sadistic family that resided in that mansion.

    "I''m sorry brother I can''t do it." She cried quietly, looking down at the baffled fox who was getting


    frustrated with the tears that soaked his little nose.


    *''Brother?*'' the fox titled his head in thought. ''What is she so afraid of?''


    "I really want to but-" Artemis took a step back her eyes didn''t leave the lively town.


    "Hey! I thought we were going tond of humans" the fox looked up the shaking human whose icy blue


    eyes hadn''t left the vige once since they arrived.


    He notice before how she was starting to tremble and tightening the hug when they were getting closer


    to the humannd, but he thought she was freezing or something.


    He had no know idea to what to feel towards the terrified human that held him in her arms so


    protective.


    "Tch now you''re getting on my nerves" he uttered.


    "I don''t think I will ever get rid of this fear" she cried, closing her eyes, and letting her tears fall down


    even faster.


    "Hey, watch where you crying! Your making my fur wet" Homura yelled in anger but was ignored again


    by her. "Oi, human stop"


    Without notice Artemis stopped crying, shock crossed her face. A milky white transparent handid on


    Artemis shoulder. It''s touch felt like the familiar gentle hand that support her throughout her life.


    "Daisuke" she mumbled softly, her eyes watering in joy. "\~No matter where I am or where you are, I


    will always be there when you need me\~" His soft medallic voice echoed lightly in her ears, sending a


    warm feeling to her heart, and easing the troubled mind.


    Her heart begged her to turn around and see the face she missed so much but her mind told her that it


    was just God looking after her.


    Obeying her heart and quickly spun around, eager to see his face once again but was met with nothing


    but air.


    Hugging the muddled fox, she smiled. "Thank you"


    "Heh?" Homura titled his head. Artemis swallowed hard, looking straight into the distance she took a


    huge step forward, a step to conquer the fear that dug deeply into her soul.


    "Let''s do this"


    Homura gulped, his guts told him that being with human is going to bring a whole lot of trouble towards


    them.


    ''Dear God, why did you leave me with this mentally unstable human''
