The man stared in disbelief.

He lowered his head down at the ground in shame. He had personally accused, brutalized, and threatened the man who had went out of his way to save his daughter.

Shin got up out of the chair, and brushed himself off. As the people in the room silently stared at him, he gave a look of sadness at Aoi's father and left the room to chase after his loved one.

"Hey!" Shin looked around for the Aoi's figure. Searching the area with his eyes, he really couldn't see anyone around. It was pouring rain, dark and incredibly difficult to see. His eyes had increased the gamma lighting features, making it brighter, but he still couldn't see her.

"You could use the heat-vision," a familiar voice within his head rang.

"He-heat?" the metal-brained boy smacked his forehead. "Why didn't you tell me this earlier!? It would have help to find someone in this cold rain."

"You told me to be quiet remember?" the AI chuckled, knowing this was getting on the cyborg's nerves.

"Grgh, you know... you've been getting less and less computer-like."

"I'm learning."

Shin's eyes immediately flickered as the color's shifted to a brighter stage. They glowed in the dark as the heat became visible to Shin's eyes, and the variances of heat within objects. He could tell distance, size, and location so easily now. All he had to do was search for a female figure that was probably about thirty meters away at this point.

He found her, running north towards...

Oh fucknuggets.

"Fucknuggets?" KIRA asked, "What's a fucknugget?"

Aoi had no idea where she was running. All she knew was that if she ran in her current direction, she would eventually reach home, or some place away from her parents at this current moment...

... and away from Kira.

She was so ashamed of her parents, herself, and her life.

So far all that's happened was so embarrassing and she wanted to just run away... which was what she was doing right now.

The pink-haired girl slipped and collapsed to the ground in a puddle.

"Hmm?" KIRA wondered why Shin was running so hard. "Why are you rushing? I understand you're worried and all..."

"You idiot!" Do you have any idea where we are!?" Shin shouted; unknown to other people, he looked as if was talking to himself.

"Calm down and speak within your head," the AI was beginning to get worried.

The meeting spot was in Akabane-boshi, which is southeast of her house. The police station headquarters that we got transferred closest to home is just north of Shibuya! Northwest of the pizza place!

"So?" the program questioned, "What of it?"

That means she has to pass through Shinjuku!

"Shinjuku? Shinjuku... Shinjuku..." the AI scanned the available information on said special ward. "Oh... she would have to take the train to go home, right? Why pass through there? She could just take a chain link of buses..."

It saves time and money, and Shinjuku is one of the busiest train-hubs in Tokyo, so that means she probably took one train to get there in the time I was searching for her to get there. Which means by the time I get there, she will already be on the another train.

"If she's already in the train... she is safe, correct?"

No, Kabukicho, a section of Shinjuku, is a major red-light district in Japan. Over the last thirty years that place has become more filled with rapists and what not! And unfortunately that's where most of the major train-stations are... which is where the rapists like to be! Them and their filthy passenger-groping fetish! Grr!

"Oh this could be a problem."

"It is a problem!"

Aoi quickly purchased her ticket and stood, waiting for the next train to arrive, oblivious of her surroundings.

She was hot, sweaty, and and her white dress was wet, sticking to her skin.

The blue-eyed, pink-haired girl clutched her white, leather purse tightly. She just wanted to go home, badly.

Little did she know of the presence of several men that where watching her with their ravenous eyes.

"Please let me make it on time!" Shin cried. He resorted to using Shunpo.

A little boy held his 'Mighty X' action figure and waved it in the air, making 'whooshing' noises and lazer effects.

"Pew! Pew! Look mommy!" He giggled as his mother hugged him and ruffled his hair. "Hahahaha. Hah?"

His eyes went big as a older, bigger boy flashed to the other side of the room.

"Woah! Look mommy the real Mr. X!" He pointed.

"Hmm? Shinta-kun, you shouldn't make jokes like that," his mother let out a small little laugh.

The boy looked again and frowned. The silver haired boy was gone in another flash.

People stood in line, letting the machine read their tickets as it registered and opened the gates for those who had one to walk through.

As the gates opened, a black flash with a hint of silver blurred through the gates.

"What the?"

Many of the men and women standing in line stood, stunned by the sight. The gates began to close.

"Aouah!" a man tried to make it through before they closed completely.

Shin slipped into the crowd, searching for Aoi's signature pink hair and her white dress.

He spotted her, but she was too far away... and it was definitely too crowded for him to use shunpo without being noticed. The boy would have to wait to get into the train.

Aoi felt a familiar dread wash over her as people packed into the train that had arrived.

As people around her began to close in, the place was fearfully overcrowded. Her eyes darted from person to person, weary of male predators that may come to attack her like they did before.

"Please, move!" Shin used his inhumane strength to push, shove, and use whatever means necessary to move towards the front of the train. Despite people's complaints and groans, he persevered, making progress.

He spotted her.

She had the look a frightened person, gripping her purse so tightly that her fingers had gone pale.

Hold on, I'm coming.

The fatigued girl looked from side to side, as she was forced to face the window.

Then her eyes picked up a familiar silvery shine within the crowd.

"K-Kira! Ki-hah?" her voice suddenly jumped a few levels, changing in pitch from surprise.

Someone had just grabbed her rear and squeezed.

Shin heard her call his name, and tried to give a smile until he noticed the odd change in her voice.

A blue outline of a man appeared on his HUD, allowing him to see through the crowd in the train. Then he saw the hand of the man grab her mouth and shut it closed, making her unable to call out. He continued to touch freely with his other hand. Shin's eyebrows furrowed as anger took over once again.

"Man, bad things are happening to you today," KIRA said within his mind, irking the boy, "You must have some pretty shitty luck."

"You, my friend, are getting on my nerves and ruining my concentration," Shin muttered, "Help me out here."

"Got it."

An instant distance meter and a suggested curved line came up on his HUD, giving him the fastest route to her. He took his chances and swiftly moved between people. Due to his heightened senses and reflexes, he was able to avoid bumping into passengers and losing momentum. Shin had traveled twenty feet in a crowded train within 6.32 seconds.

The silver-haired teenager shoved his way between the man and the girl, forcing the molester to fall back.

He glared.

The blue-eyed girl felt that this was it. Her life was officially over.

She had been nearly killed, ashamed by her family, and was about to be raped in a train in front of many people.

Then she felt a violent push, and the feeling of the man's hands suddenly disappeared from her body. She made the effort to turn around and see who had possibly saved her. The girl hoped it wasn't another offender.

Aoi's face bumped into a hard muscled back, the black cloth meeting her cheek.

"E-eh?" She looked up and saw her savior's neck, and the silver hair contrasting against the dark material.

The molester was trying to get away from Kira, who was now standing between her and many other men with lustful eyes. She sighed in thankfulness that the person who saved her life multiple times kept showing up in dire situations.

She slipped her arms around his chest from behind.

"Eh?" Shin looked down as he saw two familiar hands make their way around his upper midsection and squeeze. He was receiving a hug from behind from Aoi! "U-uh..." A blush came up on his face as he made the major effort to keep up his scary glare in front of the opposing men.

Seeing she was 'taken', they backed off, and the boy sighed.

He looked behind himself and saw a cute face look up at him, her cheeks crimson from embarrassment of the situation. Shin smiled a warm smile to comfort her.

"A-ano, Kira-kun..." She tried to talk without stuttering to the best of her ability.

"Hm?" He kept his smile, wrapping his hands around hers, making her gasp a little. It was not unnoticed.

"W-w-why d-did you u-u-uh..." Aoi kept trying to form understandable words, "a-ah..."

"Come here?" Shin let out a slight laugh, "To rescue you of course!"

He gave a wide smile.

A man was making his way through the crowded train.

His large overcoat and hat hid his face, perfect for his aim. Despite his suspicious look, the people around him did not seem to care. He didn't care either. All he cared about was completing his assignment... which was to get to the biological weapon cyborg: KIRA. And in doing so, he would complete Phase One, and begin Phase Two, making contact. After that...

... he would begin Phase Three.

"To rescue you of course!"

Aoi saw Kira's wide smile that looked so much like Shin's and let a tear fall as she too, was unable to hold back and smiled.

She pressed her entire body to his back, and he went a little rigid.

"Guh!" Shin's back went as straight as a billboard as he felt Aoi's 'assets' press against him.

"Lucky bastard," KIRA whined, "Too bad we sentient programs can't feel anything. I'm sooo enviouussss."

S-shuttt upppp.

"You're so into it you can't even talk- I mean think! Ha!"

Shin noticed a rather suspicious looking man whose face was covered make his way toward the boy. He steeled himself, as it might be a military operations specialist ready to kill him on sight. He would protect the girl behind him no matter what.

After a few long seconds, the man stopped in front of the silver-haired boy.

The sixteen year-old male braced himself: for anything. Whether it be a fist, knife, tazer, or even a gun, he would take it. He wouldn't run away, especially with Aoi behind him.

The man reached into a coat pocket.

A gun?

Unexpectedly the man pulled out an envelope... and handed it too him.

Slowly, Shin grasped the edges of the paper and pulled. The man let go, then gave him a cell phone. Then he left as quickly as he had come.

Phase Three: 'Get my ass outta there', complete. Heh.

The unannounced couple left the train station as fast as they possibly could, and eventually made their way unto a familiar street.

Shin's house was the second one on the block. He noticed that Aoi's eyes had glazed over it a few times as they were walking past it. It was hard for him to not look as well; it was his home after all. It had so many memories in it. His family, his friends, and all the times they spent together were in that house. His parents were probably in there right now thinking of him and hoping that his soul had safely made it to 'heaven'. He gave a mental smirk at that thought. Ironically he never got there, or anywhere near it for that matter.

They made it to Aoi's front door, soaking wet from the rain that had yet to stop.

Just as the girl was about to put her hand on the scanner to open the door, she stopped.

"I don't want to do this..." her voice sounded pitiful. She stared at the door, nearly lifeless as a rag doll.

Shin looked at the back of her head, reaching out to touch her hair when he heard a beeping alert. Unknown to the pink-haired female, Shin snapped his head around to see a monster far, far away. Despite its distance, he was still alarmed that such a monster existed.

What is that? The Kenseigan zoomed in on it. As described by Ichigo's detailed stories, the newly formed Shinigami could only guess that it was a hollow preying on poor innocent souls in its areas. Just as he was beginning to think of a way to get them both away to a safe place, Shin saw a death god come from behind the buildings and slay the horrendous beast into oblivion. He looked back at Aoi, who, shockingly to him, was leaning against his chest.

"I-I know it's awkward," the blue-eyed girl whispered, "But please f-follow me."

"Eh?" Shin wondered as Aoi grabbed his hand and pulled them both away from the house and into the street. "Where are we going?"

"Lo..."

"Lo?" the silver-haired boy wondered, "Where's that?"

"L-lov..."

"Lov..." The boy stopped all movement for a moment, forcing Aoi to stop in her tracks. "Lov?"

"L-love hotel..." Her face was completely red, even though it was hard to see in the dark rain.

"Ah-" Shin's draw dropped and his knees went weak. Love hotel!?

"I-I didn't mean..." the girl covered her face with her hands, trying not to look at the boy, "n-not for... y-you know..."

"T-that, huh?" Shin sighed, "I-I'm just guessing this is to get away from your parent's right? Right?"

"Y-yes!" She quickly turned away.

"Er, well you know," Shin instinctively put on a very masculine and attractive voice, walking up to and straight behind the pink-haired beauty, whispering in her ear ever so gently, "We could... do it."

"Eep!" Aoi fell to the ground, fainted.

"U-uhh?" Aoi woke up from her deep slumber, looking around. The place she was in was not her own bed. "A-re? (Huh?) Where... am I?"

She rubbed her eyes, then suddenly they were wide open. This room was familiar to her. She had come here many times when she was younger, and also recently.

It was Shin's room.

Aoi looked under the covers and noticed that she was in Shin's clothing.

"Ohmygodohmygodohmygodohmy..."

What happened!? Is this a dream? Was Shin here? Did I sleep with him? Oh lord! Help me! What should I do-

"Aoi?" Shin poked his head through the door, trying to see if his love was alright.

"Eek!" The blue-eyed damsel in distress threw a pillow... and hit 'Kira' in the face.

"O-ow..." the boy rubbed his nose, "that was unexpectedly hard..."

"Ki-Kira!" She covered herself up... with what she realized was Shin's bedsheets... which was really embarrassing.

"What?" He laughed as he made his way towards the girl, momentarily forgetting this 'wasn't his house'.

"I-I don't remember ever telling you my name..." her eyes became alert as she glared at him with fear for an answer.

"U-uh..."

Shin's eyes narrowed as he tried to think of an answer. This was bad, he needed to think of an answer... fast.

"Hello," KIRA called within his mind, "Your mom, you idiot."

Oh yeah!

"I-I heard the lady of this house call you that when she saw you collapsed outside. She seemed really worried," Shin gave a little laugh as he rubbed the back of his head.

"Oh," Aoi sighed in relief. She was afraid her savior was actually some kind of stalker.

"Call for me or Kurosaki-san if you need anything..."

"O-okay," the girl was still a little hurt to think of anything to do with the words 'Kurosaki' or 'Shin'.

Shin closed the door and dropped his 'Kira' act. He was really getting tired of it. Deep within his heart, the deceased-living boy wished he could just come clean and admit the truth.

But he would have to leave that up to his parents and the Doctor talking downstairs.
