A/N: Thank you so much for two reviews! I'm so glad you like it! :D Thank you EC and squirrelflightbc! Thank you for your suggestion for Meiko, EC! I didn't have an idea for her and now I can continue writing sooner! Sorry about super ultra shortness, but I think it fits under one topic and don't want to force it to be longer than it should.

When Meiko awoke, she had a pounding headache and was even more sore than she had been earlier. Something felt different on her back, but she couldn't place a finger on it. The pain made her feel nauseous. It was like every nerve was waging a war against her.

Meiko turned her head to find out what the strange feeling on her back was. Once she looked behind her, she came face to face with two large glassy wings. Terror pounded over her like a wave and she almost screamed. Wings?!

Wings weren't the only change, as she soon realized. Earlier she had had difficulty seeing in the dark, but now she was fine. Her terror added to the nausea tossing her stomach. She took several deep breaths to calm down and looked around. Next to her, Kaito was staring at her with his head slightly tilted. His nose was twitching slightly as if he was sniffing the air.

After a few moments of silent staring, Kaito's blue eyes wandered down and met Meiko's briefly.

"Hello," said Meiko, "my name is Meiko."

"Meiko..." He repeated slowly.

"What's your name?" Meiko asked, though Rin and Len had already told her his name. She simply was trying to engage him in conversation.

"Kaito..." He said and he began chewing on a finger.

"What's it like here?" Meiko asked. If he would talk, it was best to get information.

"Don't make master angry," Kaito responded in a quieter tone than before.

"Why?" Meiko asked. Kaito looked straight at Meiko with more focus than he had had during the rest of the conversation. While looking directly into his eyes for more than a few seconds, you could see a lot more. The icy blue seemed more serious when focused, but there was sadness buried deep in them and covered up by something else.

"It hurts when you make him angry," He said, sounding much more focused and louder. With that, he turned away from Meiko and began biting his arm. Meiko was left with less answers than before and was confused as to what he meant. It took her a few moments before she remembered the burn marks.

Beginning to panic slightly, Meiko turned back to Kaito.

"What do you mean it hurts?" She asked. In an almost unintelligible voice, Kaito responded:

"Burns."

"How do you get burns?" Meiko asked, in almost full on panic.

"Acid," was the response even quieter than before.
