It was around noon on a weekend, the mansion servants where busy at work cleaning, doing yard work or working in the kitchen. Toshiro was out in the back yard with some treats for some wild foxes that had come to visit. He liked to watch them come and play and every so often would give them food. But only did this once a week not wanting them to become to dependent on him for food. The foxes happily yipped as he tossed them treats, some of these foxes his Mom had saved from hunter traps. She never liked hunters especially those who hunted for sport.
Thinking about hunters reminded him of the day he had almost got shot with arrow. Toshiro shivered at the thought, he had been saved by a unicorn of all things.. She had taken the arrow for him. Soon though he heard a happy twittering and looked up to see some birds in the trees. Toshiro smiled and held up his hand and a bird flew down and landed on his finger." Hello little guy." He said as he reached into a bag of bird feed taking a fist full of it and held it up the bird. Who chirped happily and started to eat, a few more birds flew over landing on Toshiro's hand. He enjoyed his peaceful moments like this, most of the time he was ether knee deep in paper work or now was learning magic in the hidden tower.
The birds then finished the seeds and flew away. Toshiro smiled as he watched them and even envied them a little. How he wished he could be as free as them.
" Sir." came a voice. Toshiro turned to look to see his butler.
"Yes?" he asked
" Some visitors have come to the gate, they say their names are Taylor and Sarah." he said as he waited to hear Toshiro's orders.
"What?" Toshiro said in surprise as he then took off in dash.

Taylor and Sarah chatted as they made their way to Toshiro mansion. They had been so busy they never got the chance to come here. Though this would be their first time ever going to Toshiro's house. When they got there they stood in awe at how big it was. " Woooooow my house looks like a shoe box compared to this!" Sarah said in amazement. Taylor nodded. " Yeah.. I just hope he is home. I have not seen him in a while." Taylor said. Toshiro was his best friend, the first to reach out to him when he lost his first group of friends.
" Well, only one way to find out." Sarah said as she pushed the button on the speaker.
" How may I help you?" Came a voice.
"" Ah hello! My name is Sarah and this is Taylor. We are friends and former classmates of Toshiro. Is he home?" Sarah asked.
" One moment please."
Sarah and Taylor then exchanged glances and hoped for the best.
Suddenly the front door slammed opened, Sarah and Taylor jumped in shock.
There stood Toshiro, his eyes lit up when he saw his two friends.
" Taylor! Sarah!!" He said as happy tears filled his eyes. It was if all at once he felt how lonely he was, how he missed his friends.
Toshiro then hit a button and the get opened, he then ran forward
When he got to them he basically glomped Taylor and Sarah.
"Whoa! Great to see you to!" Sarah said as she hugged him back.
Taylor gave a soft laugh and also hugged Toshiro back.
Toshiro's tails wagged happily as he stepped back with a smile.
" Soo umm... Would you guys like a drink? Tea? Hot coco?" Toshiro asked.
Sarah smiled, "Have any orange spice tea and some honey?" Sarah asked.
"I'll have some coco." Taylor replied.
Toshiro smiled and nodded as he asked his staff to get their drinks. he then would invite them inside and sat down with them in the dinning room. The three of them started to talk and try to get all caught up with each other. (course Sarah and Taylor left out the part here Taylor had gotten kidnapped a few times.)
Though the most disturbing a news was a pair of templars where at the school again.. Looking for Sarah and Taylor... His friends where in danger to not just him.. Toshiro shivered as the memory of getting attacked by a templar replayed in his mind. No one but him and Esme and that other girl knew about it.

Sarah saw the shiver and looked at Toshiro with concern. "Toshiro? Are you ok? Did something happen?" Sarah asked. Taylor blinked and looked at Toshiro with a worried look.
Toshiro tensed up when Sarah asked, unsure how to answer.. Should he just try to deflect or just answer truthfully? The staff had come in with the drinks, two teas and one hot coco. Toshiro thanked them and asked them to leave the room.
Toshiro took a breath and exhaled as he ran his hand through his hair. He should tell them... He has not spoken to anyone about the Templar attack.. They where his friends after all he could trust them.
".... Something happened... You may have seen on the news I was attacked by some gang thugs.. But something else happened that day... When we where at the police station.. I..." Toshiro paused as he collected himself. "I.... I was attacked by a Templar.. I am only alive thanks to two women.. Esme and her friend Sophie.."
Taylor and Sarah sat there in stunned silence. He had been attacked by the templars?? In a police station? There where no words that could be said just understanding of the fear of their lives being in danger. Taylor was the first to move and hugged Toshiro. Sarah stayed where she was deep in thought. A assassination attempt had been made on Toshiro? That made her think that the death of his parents may not have been a freak accident.. But a clever assassination.. Though Sarah has no proof of this so would keep this to herself.
Sarah then stood up walking over to Toshiro and Taylor. She placed a hand on Toshiro looking at him a caring look and soft smile. "Toshiro, Remember We are here for you if you ever need to talk or need help. Don't shoulder things alone its not healthy. " Sarah said from her own experience from being a solo hero for years. It was so much better to have friends to rely on.
Toshiro blinked when Taylor hugged him but happily hugged his friend back. Then looked up at Sarah as she spoke and tears filled his eyes as he started to cry. He had been alone.. After his parents died he pretty much just buried himself in his work. Then he had been attacked and still he never talked about it.. He was just to tired and lonely..
