Author's Note: Jun/Kazuya pairing, because these two don't get nearly as much credit as they should :D Review? :3
Song: Beautiful Stranger - Madonna
She was running through the forest as fast as her feet could carry her, her dress swirling around her knees as she pushed herself to run just that much faster. He was close behind her, she could feel it. That ominous feeling of dread.
Suddenly, the feeling disappeared. She stopped and turned, still stepping backwards. She didn't feel entirely safe yet. Her eyes quickly scanned the the forest. She saw no sign of him behind her. As her adrenaline rush died down, she felt exhausted. Checking once again that she was completely alone, she sat on a tree stump and rested her head in her hands.
A loud thud sounded in front of her. She leapt backwards in shock as her eyes raised unwillingly to his face.
"Hello," he said, smiling angelically. Although beautiful, it looked so wrong on his face. He was so far from angelic, if she were in any other situation but this, she would have laughed.
"What do you want?" she had meant to sound strong and threatening, but she couldn't seem to find her voice, and it came out as a whisper.
His beautiful smile turned very frightening as it became more of a snarl than a smile. He took a step towards her. She tried to step back but she tripped on the root of the tree trunk she had been resting on and she fell. He smiled again, but it was an evil smile, no hint of the beauty she had seen on his face moments before. He slowly strolled towards her.
Jun awoke with a jolt. Instantly, she sprinted around the house, checking that she had locked all of the windows and doors. After seeing that she had, she sighed with relief and went to the dark kitchen in search of a calming cup of tea.
"Were they locked?" a golden, amused voice said. She whirled around in fear, the same feeling of dread spreading through her body again. Kazuya was sitting at her kitchen table, as casual as you like.
"How did you get in?" she said quietly.
He ignored her question, smirking. "You're beautiful when you sleep, did you know that?"
"No, I didn't, and you're not supposed to either. Please, leave me alone," Jun said, her voice trembling. Her hand crept towards the door handle that led to her backyard. She could escape through the forest. Kazuya fluidly rose from the table and approached her, still smirking.
Swifty, she turned the door handle and ran out into the forest. She heard him snarl behind her. Her nightdress was billowing in the wind. That seemed oddly familiar. She shook her head, remembering that she had no time to think right now, she just had to get away.
The footsteps behind her stopped. Warily, she sat on a tree stump nearby. A loud thump sounded in front of her. Suddenly, she remembered why this was all familiar. Knowing what was going to happen, she started to sprint again instantly, instead of pausing in shock. Just as it seemed that she was close to escape, she tripped on a tree root and fell. Oh excellent. That part was unavoidable, then. she thought acidly.
She heard him chuckling to himself as he sauntered towards her. He bent down beside her. She was too terrified to move, and even if she could, she was trembling so violently that she only would have fallen again anyway.
"Do you love me?" Kazuya murmured gently in Jun's ear. She started to cry softly. She knew she couldn't escape.
"Yes."
"I love you too."
She glanced into his eyes and saw them flash red. Her own eyes widened in horror and she started to stumble away a second too late.
"Oh, no you don't," Kazuya said, grabbing her. She struggled valiantly against him, but the devil within him was too strong. He laughed darkly at her efforts. Hideous purple wings sprouted from his back. She started screaming and sobbing. He held her closer whilst she still struggled and tried to hit him.
His wings started to beat, and he flew her away to an unknown destination, with her cries the only echo of sound that remained in the forest.
