We slowly opened the book nervous I've never read my mother's diary before let's hope it was alright with her "Here goes" The scent of the pages wafted up like lavender but mixed with dust "A-achoo excuse me-"Shooing the dust away  "entry one Dear diary, I've managed to successfully understand the bonding customs for me and my new friend I found the pendant while on my Date with ???? "Rika looked at the paper again blinking "Why can't I read this name"Akane grabbed the book and continued reading"It seems after we bonded our souls it was time for us physically now each species has different bonding rituals Rioka was very helpful in filling me in on some other types ours was a simple kiss on the forehead luckily  I do worry that this part might be too much for rika in the future, after all, she's very self-conscious about her appearance without clothes "HEY" rika shouted face crimson from being called out "my mother still taking shots at me about that even in death"Akane giggled and continued "for each species, it differs spirits that embody sea animals need a single kiss on any part that they tell you ones embody domesticated animals are rather interesting cases for them to submit you need to how did she say it dommy them in a way I suppose My Rika couldn't be a top"Rika slouched on the couch muttering shyly"I could be a top" Akane giggled "Oh can you~?"Rika's body finally slipped from the couch and hit the ground with a thud.

"Anyways I learned about the mystical type like unicorns and kitsune these spirits tend to prefer a romantic approach to their bonding I attempted to try to find one that she could easily manage I'll try to be a good mother for her maybe when my time comes she won't resent me"Rika felt a wave of guilt crash down on her "God damn it that didn't answer anything other than my guilt" Akane smiled gently "why don't we read ahead"flipping though the faded papers "AH here Today I was heading to my favorite thrift shop A fancy fox necklace caught my eye it seemed different compared to the other necklaces on the rack and little Rika seemed extra attracted to it too" Rika sat up "Hey... i vaguely remember that"the leaves were in autumn transition those beautiful hues of red yellow and orange it was always my favorite season maybe Rioka wouldn't mind helping me with something I have planned" Who's Rioka??" HOW SHOULD I KNOW"I shout this ain't getting us anywhere all I know is you spirit creatures are thirsty "Well.."YOU DIDNT EEVN DENY IT-" Akane blushed "Well your mother said what you had to do it's one more day till we have to" DO WE-" Mhm it's very important for my magic" HOW IS HAVING- let's just call it a day I'm just gonna play Genshin I need to farm for artifacts anyways" Akane growled "why do you like that fox woman so much"Fox woman....OH you mean Yae? i mean I only put her on there so Momm- I mean so Raiden wouldn't be alone" You were gonna call the woman with the chest the same size as mine Mommy?"My face reddened "NO....yeah-"I admitted dejectedly "What about her"OH Deyha's got abs and she's a Pyro user"

"I can use fire" Akane frowned her claws digging into the couch "I mean strong woman oh and Nuveliettte is an otter I envy him"The room  had this tense vibe like a lover quarrel "But we aren't lovers" So why do feel so bad ruffling my hair agitatedly "Well this is great" tossing my controller on the counter I'm gonna hate myself for this later "I'm sleeping on the couch alright"Akanes ears folded  against her head "look we don't have to if you don't want its just my life, as well as yours, is at risk if we don't" WAIT WHAT!!!," It says it here in the journal"I soon learned the importance of the bonding I met a co-worker who just so happened to know a lot about spirits and said if they didn't get bonded physically they would get ill "A sinking feeling washed over me could she have...No I'm not thinking like that i opened my mouth and reached forward to ask a question but Akane stood up quickly her eyes shifting back and forth her ears rotating to hear "whats..."SHUT IT "she snapped fangs bared I kept  blinking in confusion

"What" GET DOWN NOW" In between confusion and panic I dove under the table "What the hell is going on??" oh looky a little fox I can't wait to pin you down and make you my little snack"A gruff voice chuckled leaping through an open windowing a blur of black and orange "what the-"the feminine figured crouching on all fours Her  rough looking spiky orange and black hair  covered her round ears "I knew I smelled something off "Akane snarled her tails standing tall behind her "can you guys not do this in my HOUS-"my voice raised in tone because I felt claws dig into my ankle "oh look here a nice human I can kill "A sudden voice from the window with a sweet Aussie accent "now now love don't get too ahead of yourself"The tiger girl's gripped my ankle harder her nails sinking into my calf "what did I say about pet nicknames if you say another rone I'm biting you"go ahead kitty" the aussie deer girl replied giggling the tiger girl blushed "Its not like I wanted to or anything you idiot" Whats going on"I muttered between searing pain and confusing "I thougth girl dears don't crow horns??"the girl looked down at me her green eyes reflecting my dark eyes"you got a problem with that" her smile a maleviolent one "uhm" I felt bead of sweat roll down my eyebrow "no no not at all ahahahah"that sudden feeling of imposing maleviolence that spooked the crap outta me seemed to disappear slightly "now mate please do us a favor we need ta borrow your human here" WHY" she shouted her aura was a faint blue "Looks like you haven't unlocked your full potential oh that's right the full moon"Poor trapped spirit"The tiger taunted 

pulling her tattered shirt down a little revealing a mark in the shape of a tiger" To deal with this"
