*EDITED*

A/N: I have no excuse for the past two months in not updating this story. Quite a few have expected this for a long time, and I don't know how well It's going to turn out. I really still don't have a plot, but It's best to not keep people waiting any longer than I have. It's really not waiting months on end for a new chapter to a remotely okay story, right? :/ Well, here it is. I'm going to try really hard for the chapter after this/think of good stuff to do with this story. Thank you!~

Again, just a reminder, OOC, obviously, for character development, which will hopefully proceed accordingly.

After the gang had gotten home from the store, picking up a gallon of ice cream, and picking up Shido's headache medication, they returned home, only to find Kotori waiting inside.

"Took you not too long, actually." She grunted. "It's only 10:30, I know, but that's because there was a huge shortage on paper work today." He grunted back. "Paperwork? You do work on that stupid device of yours." Her eye twitched. "Shut up, idiot."

Kurumi chuckled, which caught her attention. She was about to summon Efreet, but Shido put a hand on her arm. "Stop, I saved her." She blinked.

"Are you serious?" Kurumi felt a little hurt on the inside. "You save Kurumi? Kurumi Tokisaki? Nightmare?"}

Shido felt a bit hurt as well. "Please.. don't talk about that." He rubbed his chin. "Though, Kurumi, you're just a clone, right?" She shook her head. "Not anymore. Since you saved me in this dimension, you erased every other clone that the real one created. Which means I am the real Kurumi now." She smiled.

Shido paled and Kotori dropped her jaw. Yoshino was excited, though. "Oh, Kurumi-onee, that means that you're not evil anymore?"

It didn't hurt her this time, because she had found her resolve. She simply shook her head and her smile beamed, almost blinding them. "No, of course not. Not anymore." She grabbed Shido and buried herself in him.

"This man saved me.. he brainwashed my evil ways, and honestly, I felt like he had given me a second chance, even If I was a clone."

She backed off after being hugged back for a short time, and she motioned for them to sit at the table. And that they did, they all took their seats.

"A-ano..." He blinked.

"I'm glad you have your white ribbons on now, Kotori." She looked at him, and the others did too, wondering what he meant. "Why so?" He quickly replies with, "Because, you're just so much cuter when you're not rude."

Kurumi smiled. 'Aw, he loves her. That's darling.' Kotori was profusely red, but before she could say anything else, he just had to. "Okay, so I don't remember much, but her black ribbons is her tsundere split personality, and her white ribbons is her cute split personality."

Kurumi nodded. "So she has some sort of S.P.D?" He nodded, and motioned to Yoshino. "Yoshino, S.P.D. Basically means that one person literally has two personalities, and often it's changed by a trigger." She nodded in understanding, and Kotori was still silent.

"A-Ano.." She took out the bucket of ice cream. "Let's eat."

Shido was lying on his bed, staring out the window. "What a lovely day it is today." He stretched, intent on relaxing.

'Though, I'm still kind of worried... Kurumi still feels like a psycho, her aura is still pretty ominous..' He rubbed his chin, dragged into deep thought. 'She could easily be lying when she said I erased the other clones, and that she's the real one. Her intentions could still indeed be malicious, but I can't say for sure.' He nodded.

"Yeah, that's it, we'll need to see how this pans out."

"How what pans out?" He jolted up and looked at a Kurumi standing in the doorway, pretty cutely.

"N-Nani? O-oh, well.." He scratched his head. "I don't really remember." He said blankly, and she became puzzled. "I forgot suddenly... I was in deep thought." She nodded, buying it easily.

'What is she, nuts?' Kurumi slowly made her way towards him, and sat next to him on his bed.

"Ara, ara, Shido-san," She rubbed his cheek. "Are you nervous?"

'Yeah, well now I am, you big jerk.' "O-Of course not..."

Obviously, it wasn't evident in his voice. She smiled broadly. "Why are you so nervous?" She kissed his cheek. "Do you think I'm going to do naughty things to you?"

He blushed like mad, but shoved it off. "Just what are you playing at..?" Her finger trailed from his stomach up to his ribs, his chest, his collarbone, his chin, his cheek, his lips...

"Nothing, nothing at all." She giggled. "I just loved the way it felt when you kissed me, Shido-san." He gulped.

Well, he thought there wouldn't be any harm in doing it again, but she might find out that he doesn't like her the way she thinks he does. Though... what if he ended up so? No, no! No way in hell he'd fall for a psycho like her! She wanted to kill him once before, so why.. why on earth would he do such a thing?

"I... um, I..." Kurumi looked up at him from his chest. "Ara?"

"Well..."

Screw it. His heart was racing, so why not satisfy his desires? She is pretty beautiful, too.

He grabbed her shoulder and pulled her into a kiss. She widened her eyes, and she could feel blood making it's way down to her lower region. Her eyes softened, and then went on to become half lidded. She ran her slithery arms around his back and gently pulled him close to her. She could just feel the way he wanted this just as much as she did in their kiss. Shido did a half-assed job of kissing when he sealed her, so he thought he should show Kurumi what he's got.

He pulled away, panting slowly. "I just... love your.. eyes.." She blushed. "My-My eyes? Why so?" She offered him a tiny, cute smile. "They're so beautiful... nobody I know has a red and golden eye.. It's mesmerizing." She blushed even more. Any more blood and surely, she'd end up popping blood vessels.

"My, my... I'm being praised by my savior... this is a dream." He pulled her back in for another kiss, and she easily kissed him back.

Why was he doing this? There was no reason to do this. No reason to kiss her, to tell her she's beautiful, so why? Has loving the feeling of being able to save people and kiss them gotten into his head? Or maybe it's the subconscious feeling in the back of his head telling him that it's not the same Kurumi, that she can change. Though, he'd never believe that as things are now, not until she was tested by Reine, or that he could believe her words just because she said them, or just flat out both.

Truth be told, he was scared. He was really scared. Never had he made such a bold move on such an attractive girl, besides the fact he made her try on those really attractive bra, panties and garters on their date that one time. He was so god damn nervous, he thought he was going to get literally stabbed by death glares.

Kurumi began to moan quietly as she felt his tongue enter her mouth, to which she licked back.

Seriously, he should stop. Just stop doing this. There's no reason to make a psychopath fall in love with you more than she already is. Then again... if this wasn't an act, why was she here? She was in love with the thought of devouring me for my power, not me, nor my looks. So why?... an ulterior motive? It's most likely because she's trying to enter his own heart, only to tear it apart, along with him, somehow getting her powers back.

No, that's impossible, right? She can't get her powers back unless she devours me with hers', and the only way to do that is if she lost her feelings for me... so the only conclusion is that she actually is in mad love with me..

He blushed at the thought of her love during their prolonged, prolonged kiss. Why, though? Surely he didn't feel the same way about this, this crazy murderer, right? Should he believe that he really changed this beautiful woman for the better?

Still, though, there's really no 100% telling if she actually has an ulterior motive. Who knows how long she has been a spirit? She may have spoken with Phantom, and may already have a plan.

Wow. Wow. Just wow, he thought. Here he was, making out with the most gorgeous girl he'd ever seen, and he was thinking about her backstabbing him with a vicious ulterior motive. This is why he can never enjoy anything in his life, honestly. It's so hard when you're him though, if you think about it. Keeping constant watch and tender care over girls and their affection levels was crazy.

Though, if this is what he had to do to keep their affection for him high, he doesn't mind. Kissing these girls has given him a wondrous opportunity to shave off 80% of these twisted, pervy thoughts of his. Hormones went crazy on him this year of high school, he guesses.

She pulls away, her eyes glistening as she lustfully swallows their combined saliva, panting out of her mouth.

"Shi-Shi.. Shido-san..." Kurumi had a hard time saying his name.

Shido ran a hand across her cheek, and making his way towards her head, sinking his hands in her beautiful hair, strands through every gap between his fingers. He loved the feeling. But why? Just because it was a girl...

...or because It was her?

"Kurumi.." She maintained her blush as she tilts her head and giggles. "I really, really... enjoy our... time together... to an... extended.. extent, Shido..-san.." She could not stop panting. And honestly, he felt pretty guilty. The whole time during his thought process of her maneuvering her way through his heart only to manipulate him in the end really took it's toll on her breath.

Unfortunately for her, this only made her all the more adorable to him.

"You're really cute when you're hazy, panting and blushing." Why, though? What was the reason? Her new personality, intentions, looks, a combination of two, or all three? Maybe he'd never know.

She looked down in feint embarrassment.

"My, my... Shido-san.. you're praising me.. so much.." She looked back up at him afterwards and smiled, a tear in the corner of her eye.

His heart twisted into knots. "It's honestly making me the happiest woman ever, Shido-san." And with this, he pins her down on his bed, his mind lost in her eyes.

She gave an "uu?" As he delved into her mouth with his once more. His hands gripped her wrists as her arms were spread out up above her head, rendering her ability to move futile. She had no choice but to let him train her ability to breath through her nose.

Really, though, why was he doing such a thing?

Maybe, he was falling in love with this beautiful psycho.

This, wonderful, scary girl he calls ex-Nightmare, Kurumi Tokisaki.
