Aiden found her words amusing. She was saying one thing while blushing the entire time. "Since I am your dog, then shouldn't my Master pet my head?" Aiden leaned in close to Fate's ear as he spoke. His breath slightly tickled her earlobe.
Fate turned to glare at him, but when she did, she did not think he would move his head closer, causing them to come nose to nose. She could feel his breath on her lips. If they moved even a centimeter, their lips would be touching. "Wha-What are you doing!?" She yelled. Her eyes went wide as her face turned bright red and quickly pushed him away, but as she did, she lost her balance when she tried to back away and began falling off the bench!
Aiden reacted quickly. He reached out and grabbed her so she wouldn't fall, pulling her into his arms. Fate now had her face buried into Aiden's muscular chest and was being hugged by Aiden. At this time, she wanted nothing more than to find a hole to bury herself in. At the moment, she was at a loss of what to do. She wanted to get away, but if she did, Aiden would see how embarrassed she was. She could only sit there frozen while being wrapped in his arms.
Aiden looked down at the girl, who seemed to be frozen stiff in his arms, and saw her ears turning a deep shade of crimson. He smiled and reached his hand up and ran his fingers through her hair. Fate twitched but didn't push away. She was still too embarrassed to show her face. But as Aiden continued to pet her head and run his fingers through her hair, she found it strange how calming and relaxing it was. She could hear his slow and steady heartbeat that was allowing her erratic heart to slow down to a normal pace. After a few minutes, she finally pushed herself away and sat on the bench. She didn't dare look at Aiden at all.
Luckily at that time, Jessica had returned with a smile on her face. "Master, I have completed the mission you gave me." Jessica looked at Fate, whose cheeks were still red with her hands pressed firmly against her knees, leaning forward, and then at Aiden, who was leaning back casually on the bench with his arms resting on the back of the bench with a smile on his face. Jessica came to only one conclusion upon seeing the situation. "Did you two kis..."
"No!" Fate yelled out before standing up and walking off towards the pod station.
Jessica stood there confused and then looked at Aiden. Aiden smiled and put his fingers to his lips before whispering. "Your master's lips are as sweet as strawberries."
Jessica blushed from ear to ear and nodded her head. "It truly seems you are our king. We should hurry. I will make sure Master has an extra pillow on her bed tonight." After saying this, she hurried off after Fate, not realizing she had completely gotten the wrong idea.
Aiden, of course, would not try to explain things. He would rather them all misunderstand the situation. Otherwise, he wouldn't have said what he did. Chuckling to himself, he picked up the bags and walked off.

Earlier...
Jessica was fast. With her speed, she quickly caught up to Millie and her other friend and came to stand in front of them. "I must ask the two young ladies to come with me."
Millie frowned. She was in no condition to be fighting someone else right now and knew she needed to get to a healer. But now there was a young girl who was standing in front of her. But what made Millie wary of this girl was the fact that she had appeared out of nowhere and was now asking them to follow her. "What do you want?"
"You are not to ask any questions. It's either you follow me now, or I will end your lives here. I would prefer for things not to get too messy." Jessica narrowed her eyes as she looked at the two, who were barely able to stand on their own. Her killing intent pressed down onto the two.
"Fine, we will follow...." Millie could only give in. She knew right now they did not stand a chance of winning, so she could only do as she was told. As she was weak now, she could only follow behind the strong.
But Millie soon found that the situation she was in was strange. The girl in front of them, who had a bag in her hands, was leading them into a dark alley between two buildings. "Miss, are you sure this is where we are supposed to go?"
"Mmm! I am completely sure." Jessica said with a smile. She looked around and found the spot she was in to be perfect. She turned around and faced the two girls. Her eyes began to glow, causing Millie and the other girl to shiver in fear.
"What are you planning!?" Millie asked. She now realized she was better off staying in a public area. Now she had followed this strange girl with glowing eyes to this desolate back alley she realized she made a huge mistake. But now, there was no way out.
"You see... You did something you should not have. You tried to touch someone who belongs to my Master. My Master is someone who does not like to share her things. Since you decided to try to steal our King, I can only do one thing... And that is..." Jessica paused and smiled brightly as she giggled. "That is to turn you into our food."
Everything happened in a flash. As soon as Jessica moved, it was all over. The two girls did not even get to scream before their bodies fell to the ground. Jessica licked her fingers that were covered in blood and giggled again. "Very tasty. It seems you two were virgins. Master will find your blood to be a delicacy."
Jessica lifted the girl's head and slit her throat, and began filling up her container with blood. "Oops, can't forget the heart. Master can enjoy it later. Luckily these containers have a large top."
A plopping sound was heard as Jessica dropped a heart into the containers and capped them off. She then filled the last container before flicking her fingers and setting the two corpses on fire. "Since this is not the slums, it will be good to burn away any evidence." After saying this, Jessica bagged up her containers and ran out of the alley.
When Jessica left, a small figure jumped down from the rooftop and looked at the two burning corpses. "It seems you two really messed with the wrong people. It is good that I decided to leave. If you had only listened to me from the start. I planned to get rid of you myself so that I can be free from your stupid games. But now, I do not need to. That girl said something about a master, so I can only guess it is the girl who beat the two of you so easily. I will be attending the academy tomorrow for the first time... I wonder if she will be there."
The small figure crouched down next to the burning bodies with a smile on her face. She thought back to the beautiful girl's actions and blushed sightly. "Ahh... I wonder if that girl will be there... The way she charged in and saved her boyfriend from the grasps of these two sluts was so heroic!"
The small figure got up and dusted her clothes off. Her ears that were the shape of fins, wiggled slightly as her blue hair fluttered. "I wonder if she will be friends with me..."

Back at Fate's home, Fate rushed through the door, into her room, and dived onto her bed. Her cheeks were still burning hot. She couldn't even understand the emotions that were spiraling around her heart and mind. Her own actions were confusing her. She should not care for that man. But yet when she saw him talking with other girls, she couldn't control herself. And then, when she was in his embrace, she didn't push him away but stayed there and let him even take advantage of her. 'What the hell is the matter with me!? It can't be that I like Aiden, right? Yes, he's handsome, but I barely know him... No... That can't be it... But we did kis....' Fate suddenly remembered how the two of them had already kissed and quickly buried her face into her pillow and began kicking her bed.
Outside the door, everyone was gathered around it listening to Fate's inner monologue that she was speaking out loud, thinking she was keeping her thoughts inside her head. Aiden, who was also listening in shamelessly, smiled and lifted his head proudly. Jean turned to Aiden with a faint smile and said: "You only need to keep pushing. But know that if you make her cry that all your blood will be drained from your body, and your heart will be ripped out."
Aiden did not mind the threat. "It's fine. If that ever happened, I will accept my death. I mean, if a dog can't make its Master happy, then the dog is not needed."
Aiden's words all garnered strange looks from the other girls. 'What the hell does he mean by dog?'
