AN.) Hey guys, this is my first story and I would really like some feedback on this. I have seen only one or two stories with this pairing adn I honestly think it could go far, but tell me chat you think.

All criticism and praise are welcome but please no flames. If you're going to tell me I suck as a writer, at least tell me how to improve myself as well :P

Ganta felt horrible.

As he lay in his bed his mind flashed back to the day before, when he was fighting that demented girl. She looked and acted like an insane psychopath but he had seen her eyes before knocking her out. He had seen the vulnerability and pain she hid.

And now she was in even more pain.

After losing the fight, Minatsuki had been sent to the sadistic doctor for the surgery and after action show. Those rebel fools had offered to keep her from getting hurt and Ganta had accepted.

He had tried to watch to make sure she was safe but, seeing the fear of another surgery in her eyes, had turned the video off and cried himself to sleep. Th sight of her fear stricken face running through his mind.

The next day there was no sign of her and this only encouraged his belief that he was responsible for her being in an enormous amount of pain.

All of these thoughts brought him back to his current position.

Ganta lay in his bed in the dark. Submerged in his depression, he gave in to his exhaustion. After a few hours he was woken by his door being opened and closed while a small body moved over to the bed. He felt the body lay down with him and his sleep befuddled mind identified the visitor as Shiro.

Wrapping his arms around her, Ganta pulled her closer and, taking comfort from her presence, fell asleep once again.

When he awoke, Ganta felt a soft and warm object laying up against him. Remembering what happened the night before, Ganta smiled and tightened his embrace to bring Shiro closer.

Inhaling her scent, he happily whispered, "good morning my little... primrose?" His confusion was evident in his voice.

Hearing an all too familiar giggle, Ganta felt the body in his embrace turn around and, when he opened his eyes, found himself staring into Minatsuki's chocolate brown eyes.

A small blush formed on her face as she grinned up at him. Leaning further towards him, she whispered, "Good morning Ganta-kun"

Her close proximity as well as the feeling of her warm breath on his skin sent small shivers through Ganta's body as well as making his face flush in embarrassment.

"Minatsuki-chan, I'm sorry, I thought you were Shi-"

"So it's Minatsuki-chan now, huh?" As she said this, she let her sadistic grin show through and she nuzzled deeper into his embrace. "I thought I was just a stupid bitch."

Noticing that he had retained his hold on her and his spoken mistake, Ganta swallowed hard and tried to think of a way out of his predicament safely.

"Well yes- I mean no- I mean... I was just worried about your safe-"

His words were cut off when she giggled at his obvious discomfort and pressed her fingers to his lips to stop him. When he stopped talking and was paying attention to her, she quietly caressed his cheek with the back of her fingers.

Ganta's mind was working overtime trying to figure out why she was being so gentle with him.

"Minatsuki-chan, are you sure you're okay? What is going o-"

This time, instead of using her fingers, the sadist had rushed forward and quickly latched her lips onto his neck and bit down. Ganta could feel her teeth pierce his skin and his eyes went wide and fear began to settle in.

The slight jolt of pain quickly receded and, as he felt blood begin to ooze from the wound, he felt as Minatsuki lightly licked it up.

"Oh, you're just so sweet Ganta-kun," she whispered huskily into his ear.

Finally pulling back, Minatsuki's face held a fading blush and, as she saw the fear and confusion in his eyes, tried to comfort him.

"Ganta, relax. I just wanted to thank you for what you did."

"What did I do? I was the one that caused you to go through that horrible show with the doctor. I saw the fear in your eyes and I was the one to cause it." The guilt and grief were clearly evident in his voice as he looked down in shame.

That light giggle could be heard again. Leaning her head down, Minatsuki quickly licked up a few drops of blood that had run from her bite. She watched as he blushed and, subconsciously, tightened his embrace to bring her closer.

Letting out a surprised and innocent squeak, Minatsuki just smirked at Ganta again.

"Well, well, Ganta-kun. Aren't we getting bold."

Ganta turned beat red and tried to stutter out an explanation.

"N-No Minatsuki-ch-chan. I-I-I was ju-just... I didn't m-mean to-"

Another set of giggles cut him off. Ganta was starting to worry about Minatsuki's sanity but, when he remembered who he was thinking of, he just shook his head and laughed quietly. Thinking about it, he had to admit that she sounded adorable when she did it and, in the dim light, she looked beautiful. His cheeks began to heat up as he saw how close they were.

Noticing his blush and remembering the sound of guilt in his voice, Minatsuki looked Ganta in the eye and spoke softly.

"I was afraid. I tried to be brave but I knew the pain that would come and I just wanted to die. But, before I could give in to my fear, you came to help me again."

Seeing his confusion, she smiled up at him.

"The machine chose my hair. It skipped all of the painful and fatal choices and picked the most trivial thing of all." By this time Ganta's eyes were wide and, seeing the relief that surged through them, Minatsuki couldn't help but smile.

"That bitch was so angry and I couldn't stop laughing, which only pissed her off more. She spent the entire time screaming and throwing things. By the time she had calmed sown enough to work, the time limit had run out and I was taken to my room unharmed."

As she spoke, Minatsuki had continued to lick at the bite mark he had made in Ganta's neck, licking at his blood.

"I spent all day yesterday talking with people and they told me how depressed you were. Nagi explained the deal he made with you and I tried to find you."

Ganta could feel tears gathering in his eyes and tried to hold them back. Even with his efforts, he failed to stop them all.

Feeling a few tear drops hit her face, Minatsuki glanced up at Ganta with a slight frown.

"Why are you crying? You should be happy, knowing that you kept a girl safe."

"I am happy, these are just from repressed emotions from last night." Ganta had wiped the tear trails from his face as he spoke and gave her a nervous smile. "You aren't still angry at me for what I said during the match and for beating you, right?"

Leaning back and on her arm for support, Minatsuki smiled insanely down at Ganta. When he tried to get up, she ripped an earring out and, using her Branch of Sin, held him down. He smiled up at her uncomfortably and let out a nervous laugh.

Still smiling ear to ear, Minatsuki leaned down and, when she was face to face with him, spoke gleefully.

"About that. You see, I was pretty pissed about losing and to a fucking headbutt at that. Normally I would guy you for what you did, but..." At this, her voice lowered to a whisper. "I've realized something when I look back to that fight."

Ganta was beginning to sweat and grow very uncomfortable as he knew the pain that might soon come. He listened carefully but was surprised by what he had heard.

"You see, I finally found something that brings me even more joy and pleasure than hurting others."

She leaned forward and whispered into Ganta's ear, "and that's being dominated."

She quickly nipped at the bite mark she had made earlier to get the blood flowing again. After licking a few drops, Minatsuki pulled back and couldn't help but giggle at Ganta in the most innocent way possible. He just looked so funny.

Ganta was laying stiff on the bed, looking up at her with fearful eyes on his extremely pale face.

"During that fight yo showed how different you are from the rest of us. You were so... angry. I could see it in your eyes and it actually scared me."

At this, Minatsuki felt a shiver of pleasure run through her. "I wanted, I needed, to see you after that. I was obsessed and when I found out from Nagi what you did for me, I had to find you.

Leaning down to the frightened and dazed boy, Minatsuki breathed against his neck and whispered lightly, "now that I have you, I don't know whether to hurt you for humiliating me or give myself, my body and soul. To you."

Ganta was nearly unconscious because of the overload his brain was trying to struggle through. When he was able to respond, he blushed at where his mind had gone and glanced up to see the sadist still smiling maniacally down at him. Hearing what she said next did make him go unconscious from shock.

"Both thoughts are just so appealing that I can't choose. I think you should decide." As she said this, she relinquished her whip's hold on Ganta and sat up, waiting.

It took a minute for Ganta to recover and think about what she had said. When he looked up to her face, he saw that her eyes were closed and a look of anger was beginning to form.

'What's taking that asshole so long to deci-' "Meep!" Minatsuki let out a small squeak as she felt a pair of hands pull her down into the boy's body, by the waist.

Holding her close to him, Ganta leaned forward and whispered softly into her ear. "The worst thing I've felt was the guilt when I thought of how I hurt you. I will protect you no matter what."

Pulling back a bit to look into his eyes, Minatsuki couldn't help but blush at his sincerity. Grinning wickedly, she stared down at him hungrily and dropped onto him.

Ganta was surprised when he felt Minatsuki drop onto him. The surprise turned to confusion when he felt and heard her breath get closer. Of course the confusion was completely gone when their lips met.

They were slowly moving to comfortably lay together when Minatsuki's tongue licked Ganta's lips, asking for permission to enter.

Granting it, Ganta was initially surprised when her tongue hungrily darted into his mouth but soon held her at bay. Their tongues fought for dominance until, after a few minutes, Minatsuki finally gave in. Holding the kiss out a little loner, Ganta finally ended it and smiled when he saw Minatsuki with a huge blush covering her face as they both gasped for air.

"So, satisfied with your visit?" Ganta was trying to be cheeky but when he caught sight of the beauty still laying on him, he began to look for an escape.

"Oh, I don't know. I'm pretty tired and sore from our fight. Maybe I should just relax for the rest of the day." As she spoke, blood began to flow from the holes in her ears again. "Maybe I will practice with my branch for a little bit."

"Whip Wing." As she spoke, her whips wound around Ganta, ensnaring him. "You'll help me, right?"

Looking up to see her once again smiling maniacally and insanely down at him, he sighed before smirking.

"Sure thing, my precious little sadist-hime."

"Don't call me that, asshole-kun" She was trying not to let her blush show through, so it didn't really sound like she meant it.

Deciding he could test his luck, Ganta continued. "Don't make me headbutt you again. I doubt you could take it."

As he said this, Minatsuki began to tremble and shake. Thinking she was crying and that he had had gone too far, Ganta sat up to comfort her even with his arms still bound.

Minatsuki didn't know why but when he joked about headbutting her and, thinking about the pain he had caused her, she couldn't help but get excited.

The more she thought of it, the more excited she felt and she was soon flushed and panting. Noticing Ganta and a look of worry on his face set her off.

Ganta tried to dodge her when she threw herself at him, but there was only so much he could do with his hands bound while sitting on a bed.

Flinching and waiting for the soon-to-come hits, Ganta was surprised when he felt Minatsuki press her body up against his and rub against it. What scared him was that Minatsuki had begun to mumble and quietly moan as she did this.

He could feel her warm breathe as she whispered, almost lovingly, into his ear. "Let's see if you can back those words up... little piggy."

After she said this, Ganta could feel her lick his ear lobe. He could feel the small stud piercing and shuddered in pleasure.

Looking into her half-lidded and lust-filled eyes, Ganta felt the blood whips holding his hands loosen and flow away.

Slowly, he pulled his hands from behind his back and put them around Minatsuki's waist and neck. He quickly pulled her towards him and lightly kissed her before holding her up and stroking her hair.

Seeing her confusion, Ganta explained. "Not now, I really like you Minatsuki, but we have today free and I would really like to get to know you more."

Hearing this, Minatsuki could feel tears beginning to well up in her eyes.

'I died during that match and now I'm in heaven. I've found a boy that has the power to hurt me but instead he cares about me as well. I can see how sincere he is and that he really wants to keep me safe. I think I might actually love this runt.'

"And maybe you could tell me about all the other deadmen whose minds you've fucked with."

Seeing his sly grin, Minatsuki could only match it a wicked one of her own.

Laughing slightly, she stared at him with a piercing gaze. "Okay, we'll do that. But don't think you're off the hook Ganta-kun."

She slowly leaned towards him and, when they were nose to nose, she practically purred, "I still need to get off and you're going to help me. One way or another."

Blushing furiously, Ganta could only nod before he and Minatsuki layed down comfortably on his bed.

Ganta lay on his back looking over to see the the beautiful brunette who was laying on her side, cuddling up with his arm and resting her head on his shoulder.

They spent the rest of the day talking to each other about their childhoods and, in Minatsuki's case, about past Carnival Corpse. Only breaking apart to eat and occasionally relieve themselves, the duo stayed together all day and through the night.

The only time the peacefulness was broken was when a sleeping Minatsuki reached out desperately, a look of fear and pain etched on her face as she whimpered.

Ganta quickly and quietly took her in his arms and kissed her forehead. Her struggles and sounds ceased, her face cleared, and she snuggled even deeper into Ganta's embrace as her nightmare passed.

Enjoying the moment before he fell back asleep, Ganta held his 'angel of death' while breathing deeply. He began to dream once again but with the constant and heavenly scent of primrose staying with him.
