I usually write each chapter spontaneously, but I was wondering if I should make this story a little longer. If I was to make it short, I think this story can end in 2 chapters, but I should (definetly) need to add in more Gray x Alice, right? Just wondering because I wrote 2 more new stories and I still need to finish Pinky princess and Neverending sometime soon too. (sigh why do I have so much story that I want to write!) Please give me your opinions!

Gray looked at Alice slowly fading away from his sight. He wanted to chase her, grab her hand and tell her "I love you. Don't leave me."

That bastard incubus. Nightmare might have probably noticed what he was plotting. He did his best to hide his thought, but the others, Adam Leper's underlings, are not so skillful as to hide their thoughts from the mind reader.

Gray took out his pack of cigarette and let one of them. When was the last time I smoked? It was surprising even for Gray. Since Alice came to his life, he stopped smoking. Not that she ever said anything about smoking, but Alice always had a worrisome expression whenever he took out a cigarette. As if she is worrying about my body… After a while, Gray shook his head in denial. What the hell am I thinking! I don't even know if she likes me or not.

Gray remembered all the days he spent with Alice, it was understandable that Alice didn't like him, but he had to try something. He was not the type to just give up. Just when Gray was about to throw the cigarette away, a faceless approached to him.

Gray glared at the faceless, "What do you need me for? I told you to not talk to me during the meeting."

Trembling in terror, the faceless underling replied, "I am terribly sorry, but this plan is just too unreasonable…to bomb the lobby. Nobody would be able to escape the falling tower!"

The gold eyes gleamed sharply as if it can materialize in to real knife, "Just do as I tell you to. If you talk to me again, I will slice your throat."

"Y-yes sir!" unable to suppress his shiver, the faceless straightened his back and scurried away. With a sigh Gray turned around and walked down the hallway. It was only a matter of time before the main event started.

xoxoxoxoxoxoxo

Alice and Nightmare walked silently down the hallway. Alice was angry; she felt the situation unfair. All I wanted to do was talk to Gray… why is to so hard to meet him? With an unsatisfied look, Alice asked, "Nightmare, why can't I talk to Gray?"

Glancing at Alice, Nightmare answered, "He is too dangerous." Nightmare was not his usual goofy self. He was serious, which made Alice feel a little scared of him. Alice never saw Nightmare this scary.

Nevertheless the feelings of wanting to see Gray were stronger than being scared, "But still-."

Nightmare turned to Alice and spoke in a quiet voice, at first, but as time passed by the voice became quicker and faster, "Alice, you should know by now that he is dangerous. He is emotionally unstable and always hungry for blood. Who knows when he will kill you too? I just don't want you to be hurt!"

The dark eyes which were irrationally staring at the girl, almost gave her the shiver. She knew that Nightmare was only worried about her and Peter was maybe worried about her too, but that didn't stop from wanting to see Gray. What is happening to me? It was only out of worry to meet Gray, but it would be too overreacting on her part to feel this much for Gray. The dark haired man with the lonely golden eyes lingered in her mind as tears started to flow down from her cheeks, "I-I…know. I know…that but I can't help it…this feeling. Why …do I feel so sad when Gray isn't here…?"

Nightmare soon realized what he had done; he knew that Alice was thinking about Gray all this time. It wasn't even his place to rant, but he needed Alice to stay away from Gray. Nightmare noticed that Gray was scheming something, but it was not possible for him to thoroughly read his mind. He did not want Alice to be involved in the possibly dangerous scheme. Filled with guilt in his heart, the incubus apologized, "Alice, I'm sorry…I never meant to-."

"Well this is a surprise; the incubus is making a cute girl cry," Blood approached to the crying girl and the incubus.

Nightmare cautiously questioned the mafia boss, "…What do you want?"

With a smirk, Blood took a white handkerchief and gave it to Alice, "When you see a troubled lady, isn't it common sense to give out a helping hand?"

After giving a quick glance at Blood, Alice gratefully accepted the handkerchief and wiped her eyes, "Thank you."

Blood smiled and escorted Alice down the hall, "You must be hungry; come let us go to the cafeteria." Alice failed to catch Blood giving a quick evil smile at Nightmare as she walked towards the cafeteria with two men.

Xoxoxoxoxoxoxo

"So you're name is Alice right? My name is Elliot!"

Alice was taken aback by the cheerfulness of the once dangerous looking man, but soon composed her face and greeted, "Hello Elliot."

"Hey newbie hare! Why are you introducing her first! We should be the first one to talk to her, not you!" Alice turned to look at the adorable twins sitting next to Alice as they ranted.

Although the twins were adorably cute, Elliot was not the type to fawn over their loveliness, "Shut up! There is no kid's special in this cafeteria so go home!"

Alice just laughed lightly, "Um…well so what is your name?"

Reacting to Alice's question, the twins immediately hugged her, "I'm Dee." "And I'm Dum."

"Let's play together sometimes soon ok, Alice?" Alice smiled, their playful and cheerful gesture was very happy to watch, but she was still nowhere near from being happy herself. Gray… Only for a short moment, Alice's eyes casted down gloomily.

Nobody was able to catch the glimpse of sadness as Elliot continued, "Hmph Alice doesn't want to play with a bunch of brats."

The twins glared at the older man and scoffed, "What did you say bunny? I couldn't really hear you because of your blabbering."

Alice could almost see the rising temper as Elliot stood up from the table and shouted, "I SAID THAT-."

"Elliot, can you be a little quieter, please?" Blood, who was sitting at the other table with Nightmare, disapprovingly looked at his subordinate.

Elliot's ears instantly drooped as he quietly sat back down, "…Sorry Blood…"

"Hahaha! Newbie hare got scolded, now who is the brat!"

Elliot glared at the twins and harshly but also quietly stated, "Shut up!" Alice just faked laughed at the whole situation and soon looked at Blood's table. Really what are they chatting about? It was truly weird that Blood was having a tea with Nightmare. Because of the constant noises on her own table, Alice was not able to hear what the two men were talking about as she was forced to turn her attention towards the twins.

xoxoxoxoxo

Blood took a sip of his tea and set his favorite drink on the table, "So what is happening?"

"About what?"

The mafia boss glanced at Nightmare and smirked, "I know that there is a reason why you separated Alice and Gray."

Nightmare suppressed his urge to flinch, he was prepared to answer this question once he entered the cafeteria, but he was still unsure to what extent he should explain to Blood, "…I'm not too sure, but Gray is planning on something. This is the first time that I cannot read somebody's mind so it's hard to deal with."

Nightmare saw Blood's smirk grow even wider, "So you don't want to take any risk of young lady being in danger." Blood was interested in the fact that not only the white rabbit and lizard, but also the incubus was so into this one girl.

The incubus nodded cautiously, "That's right." As soon as Nightmare said this, he heard something from the faceless passerby. It was a normal looking faceless, but something was wrong with him. His facial feature was a little blue. Usually, Nightmare would just ignore the trivial thing, but his mind reading skill caught information. The information that a bomb was set in the lobby and that everybody would not be able to leave from the tower. Nightmare immediately stood up and before rushing out the cafeteria, Nightmare took a chance and looked at Blood, "Have to go. Protect Alice for me." Nightmare didn't exactly believe that Blood would protect Alice, but it was better than leaving her all alone.

After Nightmare rushed out the room, Blood calmly drank his tea and stated, "It is definitely interesting."

At, yet, another table, two red heads were looking at the whole situation. White smiled and leaned toward his brother, "Hey bro. Seems like Nightmare is plotting something."

Black snorted and replied, "It looks like that mafia pimp knows something about it too and it involves that b****."

"Should we join the fun?"

"Sounds like a f***** good idea." Giving a quick sneer the twins left their table and walked up to Alice's table.

White made the initiative to start the conversation as he leaned towards the foreigner, "Oh, what is a cute girl doing over here?"

Black quickly answered for the girl, "Probably doing some boring shit nonetheless."

Ignoring the ruder twin, Alice raised her eyebrow in question, "And you are?"

Smiling, White introduced himself and also his brother, "I am Joker and that is Joker."

Alice was confused by this, but before she could ask anymore, Elliot questioned in a cold manner, "What are you guys here for?"

Black took on Elliot's glare as he also glowered at the mafia, "Huh? You wanna die or something? Lowly pimps like you should just scram."

Not moving his cold stare, Elliot talked back, "With that stinking mouth of yours, I can say that right back at you."

Alice nervously looked at the two men as she tried her best mediate the foul mood, "H-Hey, Elliot! Aren't you enjoying that carrot sherbet? If you get angry like that, you won't be able to enjoy it."

Thankfully, White helped Alice out as he tried to calm his brother down, "Hey, don't start a fight here, brother. Our lovely foreigner is having a lunch, you know? Try to be a little more courteous."

But Black wasn't the one to be easily handled as he made more insults, "Why should I be courteous to a b****, who isn't even sexy?"

Alice twitched at this statement as she fiercely looked at Black, making him take a step back, "I am sorry that I am not pretty. By the way, it's so frustrating with you guys having the same name. Why don't I call you, White and you, Black?"

White smiled and tried to change the mood as he answered, "If that satisfies you then that will do. By the way, it's almost time for the next meeting. Let's go back to the meeting room."

Alice realized that it was indeed almost time for the next meeting to start as she replied weakly, "Ah…ok…" The girl sighed quietly; the meeting was going to start without her having the chance to meet with Gray. I really hate this meeting…
