He paused and felt his blood drain. ‘She know. She knows’ kept chant over and over in his head and left him lost and scared. He shook his head and kept his shaking back to her. “No, thank you …. Baaya-chan? About what you see … please don’t tell him?”
He looked back to her, a desperate plea was in his eyes.
She did know, and it reminded her so much of the young master that it nearly broke her heart. Baaya wasn’t able to resist any longer, stepping over to him to wrap her arms around him, embrace warm, soft. Different than Hakuba’s, but still nothing but loving.
“Your secret is safe with me, Kuroba-kun… and our door is always open to you.”
