AN: Do not own, just my own characters. Here is the next chap. Enjoy! And thanks for the reviews!

Yako allowed herself to be led, though she was still rather surprised, why did he drag me out of the shop? Did I miss something? She opened her mouth to question Krayl but was interrupted before she could say anything. "Like I said earlier, you are rather easy to read. You were feeling depressed just a moment ago," Great going Yako, cause people to worry over you, first Kaede and now Krayl, " Well I don't know what happened, but I'd rather not have you feeling down, so if you'd like would you like to tell me about it?"

Yako noticed they had stopped outside some apartment buildings, I must be really out of it, and I didn't even pay attention to where he was leading me. Real smart Yako...it seems you'll follow anyone these days. Glancing at Krayl, she spotted a gentle and encouraging smile, for some reason she felt compelled to tell him everything. Krayl has been very kind to me...more so than 'he' would. Even though I haven't known him very long...I feel like I can trust him...

Krayl watched her mentally debate; he knew it was only a matter of time before she caved. Yes Yako...trust me...trust me, the darkness hid the brief instant that the kind smile turned wicked. Seeing the trust in her eyes he knew he won. Success. With one of his hand still holding hers, he gestured to the apartments behind him with the other. "If it's alright we can talk in my apartment."

Entering the apartment Yako was surprised to see it was rather plain. "Make yourself comfortable, I'll be right back." She made her way over to the couch and watched Krayl head to the back of the apartment. Now that she was alone she began to have doubts about what she was about to do. Yako groaned and placed her head in her lap, Well Yako-girl do you really want to take this leap? Do you really want to tell him everything?

She sighed heavily; the worst that can happen is that he'll think you're crazy. "Sorry about that," She jumped at his voice, raising her head she noticed he had pulled up a chair and was sitting across from her, I didn't even hear him come back, "whenever you're ready please feel free to tell me about your troubles." Noticing he had finally removed his sunglasses she stared into warm golden orbs. The warm and gentle eyes erased the doubts from her mind. Yako opened her mouth and began to tell him everything.

With Neuro

Neuro's eyes snapped open from the nap he was taking, the mark he placed on Yako was fading. A low growl rose from his chest, a demon is in contact with MY property and is erasing my mark. Neuro began to regret not keeping a closer eye on his slave and became slightly worried about her safety. Closing his eyes he focused on the remains of his mark, the worm is not feeling threatened...tch the mark is gone. Frustration shone in his eyes and the low growl became louder. He began pacing the length of the office.

The slave is never leaving my sight...never ever again...I'll chain her up and have her never leave this building. Pausing mid-pace he frowned, what's wrong with me...why do I have...such...attachment to the cockroach...being up the surface this long has affected me more than I thought. Dismissing his thoughts he left the building, the slave has to come to her home sometime...I'll wait for her there. A feral chuckle left his mouth, the slave is not going to be going anywhere for a long time after he is through with her.

Back with Yako...

Well so far so good...least he hasn't called me insane yet. "Umm...I know my story may not sound that believable, with me talking about demons and such..."

Krayl listened patiently to her story, the truth of why she became famous and her interactions with Neuro, and couldn't be more amused. Oh my, this poor girl doesn't know anything about demon behavior. Putting a hand over his mouth, he made it look like he was thinking over what he just heard, but in reality he was trying to prevent himself from bursting out laughing.

Abuse equals interest; this so-called I don't need you phase equals you are necessary to the one in question ,proof was the phone calls; lastly growling and swathing you with one's power equals you belong to them and he is not going to allow anyone else to touch you...oh man this is too funny. When he was sure he wouldn't laugh he removed his hand and smiled to reassure the girl. "I don't believe you have any reason to lie, and if you say demons exist I'll believe you." I should hope that I would believe in my own existence.

Yako sighed in relief and looked at Krayl gratefully. Man, I didn't know it would feel this great to get this off my chest. Noticing the clock on the wall, she realized with dread how late it had gotten.

Noticing where her gaze went, he too noticed it was rather late. About to offer to walk her home, he withheld it as he heard one of his back room windows slide open. I waste my time earlier looking for him and the bastard comes here. "I probably should head home..." Focusing his attention back on the girl, he nodded, "I didn't realize how late it had gotten. Would you like me to walk you home?" You better not come out now... "No it's alright, I can walk back myself." "Well at least allow me to accompany you to the street."

Before she could even nod, he grabbed her hand and herded her out the door. As he turned around to shut the door he spotted two red eyes staring him. Krayl glared at the other demon and whispered under his breath, "Make yourself comfortable, you have lots of explaining to do, and don't you dare disappear again," he quickly shut the door before his little guest thought something was strange.

Reaching the street in no time, Yako turned to her companion rather bashful, "Thank you for listening to me."

"It was no trouble at all and thank you for telling me. I imagine it wasn't easy to confide something like this," Yes...thank you for giving me such an amusing evening. Krayl saw a small blush on Yako's cheeks and was rather grateful she wasn't looking at his face, for if she was she would have seen a positively devilish smirk upon his lips. I think I'll give my little toy a reward. He took one hand and gently turned her face towards his, making a soft caress on her lips with his thumb, leaned down to place a soft kiss upon her lips.

Yako's brain took a vacation, it was long gone. The kiss was over soon enough, she didn't even hear the small goodbye Krayl whispered in her ear before he pulled away and went back to his apartment; no coherent thoughts were able to run through her blank mind. Slowly her brain's thinking functions came back and all she could think was, Kiss...Kiss...He kissed me...

Seeing that the culprit was gone, she dazedly walked back home. Unlocking the house with her key she made the realization; that was my first kiss. Leaving her shoes at the entrance way and placing her keys on the counter, she made her way to her room. Turning on the light in her room, Yako froze as familiar green eyes pinned her in place. What's he doing here?

So the Slave is finally home. Neuro was getting rather impatient waiting for Yako, he doesn't like to wait for anything. He watched the door knob turn and the door open. As the light was turned on, Neuro finally got a good look at his slave. He was not happy.

Seeing Neuro in her room was not what she expected. Hearing a loud...is that a growl? Sound coming from Neuro was not what she expected. Being picked up by the said growling demon was not what she expected. Most importantly of all she did not expect said growling, obviously very angry demon, to smash his lips against hers in a harsh kiss.
