She continued purring, rubbing her small cat head against him.

His eyes turned soft blue again as he focused more on her sweetness. He smiled and soon opened the door carefully as they got home.Justice was for sure passed out because the door wasn't locked.

Her purring sounds quieted as they entered, as if she knew where they where.

He was glad she went quieter because Justice was in the kitchen,passed out with broken bottles on the table and floor,his head down on the table and body limp in a chair.The wood of the table was moist with his tears. Shade closed the door without a sound and carefully took Akira to the guest room and locked the door before walking over and putting her on the bed. He then went and closed the curtains over the window.

Feeling that she was in her bed she shifted back to her human form, with a small smile on her face.

He smiled faintly to see her smiling a bit and he shifted to a small black sparrow and then fluttered up and sat on the dresser. He fluffed his feathers and peeped once before snuggling into them. His peep wasn't scary,just that.A little peep,cute and innocent.

She curled into herself, continuing to sleep peacefully.

He watched her for a moment before fluttering over and landing besides her and peeping once more before fluffing his feathers and yet again cuddling into them and closing those ice blue eyes. Justice,thankfully,stayed asleep. He was out and out cold. He had gone hard on himself,he hadn't shown any mercy,as if by hurting himself he'd bring Clarity back home,safe and happy and awake again.

She suddenly reached out, pulling the bird into her arms with a smile.

He peeped softly,twice,in shock but didn't flutter any resistance. He found himself cuddling against her this time. "Peep?"
