"The poor thing must be hungry," Grey thinks.

Looking at the creature again, it does seem cute in a twisted, morbid way. He makes a motion for the creature to be quiet, then motions it to follow.

"I can get you some food in the kitchen," he says.

For a moment, the creature seems to make a puzzled expression. Then it nods slightly and adjusts its stance from pouncing to sneaking.

Grey carefully leads the creature toward the library exit. From afar, he can hear loud crashing noises from the other side of the library. He bids these no mind, as he must find something for the creature to eat.

He makes it to the hallway. It seems empty. Grey remembers the way to the dining room, so he heads there. The kitchen must be nearby.

Suddenly, a deafening crash interrupts his train of thought. It seems to come from the somewhere beyond the bend. Grey peeks at the corner.

A bleeding Youkai is lying on the ground. It seems to be of the same species as Grey's companion. To the right, part of the wall is broken open. It seems that something threw the creature from outside. There are voices coming from the hole. He can here someone barking orders.

Two fairy maids fly in through the window. They are carrying halberds. Embroidered on their uniforms are peculiar insignias.

Before Grey can observe further, they head straight at the creature and impale it with their weapons. The Youkai roars in defiance and shudders one last time before it lies on the ground, lifeless.

Another maid flies in through the window. Recognizing her immediately, Grey steps out.

"Hi Sakuya!"

Sakuya turns to him, first with an expression of surprise, then of cold anger.

"You are working with them? After Lady Remilia offered you such kindness? Now how shall I deal with you," she says, emotionless.

Before Grey can explain, he hears a low roar from behind. He steps to the side to see that the crocodile-hound has revealed itself and has taken an aggressive stance.

But it isn't looking at Sakuya.

Its eyes glow in anger as it stares at Grey. "Liar," it seems to say, as it prepares to strike.

Grey tries to speak, but only gurgling sounds come out. In the next moment, he feels excrutiating pain from his throat all the way down to his belly. Looking down, he sees several knives protruding form his chest and throat. Further down he sees that a large gash on his belly. His intestines are twisting out of that gaping hole. Grey had somehow found himself impaled and disemboweled at the same time.

"Oh wow," he thinks to himself as he realizes that the maid and the crocodile-hound must have attacked at the very same instant. They didn't even bother looking at each other. They must have both been really pissed off.

"This is shit," he thinks as he crumples to the ground.

BAD END
