Amu's P.O.V:

A week has passed since Tadase and I have started dating, and somehow, I managed to make sure Ikuto didn't find out. It's rather strange, because I would have thought Ikuto would have read my mind while I was talking to him or texting him, but apparently he didn't.

My parents hosted a New Year's party and Tadase kissed me when the clock struck midnight, other than Ikuto, he was my first kiss. It was different, of course there was no bright light like when Ikuto kissed me, but it was something else. When I first kissed Ikuto, it was an empty kiss with absolutely no feeling. But the closer we got, his kisses sent sparks throughout my body, but I never really noticed it until Tadase kissed me.

My parents didn't mind that I was dating him, well my mother didn't mind, my father was bawling his eyes out. Ami seemed okay with it, she seemed not to care at all. To her, if my boyfriend is not Ikuto, then they're the best.

It was three in the morning, everyone else was asleep while I was wide awake, thoughts spiraling in my mind. I have had sleeping problems the past couple of days, but mostly because of a nightmare I had a few nights ago.

-Flashback-

Chaos, that was all I could see around me. Bodies all over the green plains, painted with red and black blood, each reeking the dreaded copper stench. I looked down at my hands, also covered in blood that surrounded me.

"I-I don't understand, what happened?" I asked myself, seeing no one else besides the dead bodies. It nearly made me vomit, from looking at all of them, you can tell each one murdered in their own unique, grotesque way.

"You stupid fool! Look at you, you are ready to fall, but you still want to defend her!" I heard a voice shout, I turned around to see Saaya floating, an insane look in her eyes. I looked down, seeing a badly injured Ikuto standing there, clutching his arms to make sure no more black blood seeped out. He was slightly crouching, I saw different slash marks on his chest, legs, arms, and a large one across his face, just missing his eye. "Accept you defeat, and I will not have to kill you!" Then I noticed a large sword in her hand, a dark purple aura surrounding it. Her hand was turning a dark purple as well, you could see her veins pulsing out of her arm, as if it was possessing her.

Ikuto fell to his knees, unable to even talk back to her. I tried running to him, but my feet were stuck to the ground.

"Are you finished, unable to be her knight in shining armor anymore?!" Saaya's eyes were wide, her pupils smaller than normal.

"You're...you're a bitch." Ikuto managed to mutter out.

"You idiot." I whispered, knowing what would happen next. Saaya descended next to him, raising the sword. Where is everyone, why is no one stopping her, why can't I move!?

It all seemed to happen in slow motion, she pierced his chest while I just watched in complete horror, seeing Ikuto spit out more black blood. She removed it and he fell to his side, she laughed maniacally as I just stood there, still unable to move.

"Just let me wake up, please, I can't deal with this anymore." I mumbled, everything around me faded away and I dropped to the floor, traumatized from what I just saw.

-End Of Flashback-

I cannot risk another dream like that, or I might just go hysterical. It was such a vivid dream, just like the last one, let's just hope it is not as accurate like the last one either. I sighed, where did that even take place anyway, with so many corpses and such a large plain?

Maybe it's not even real, because I do not know an area like that.

Yeah, of course it's not real. With these somewhat calming thoughts in my head, I drifted off into a deep sleep, not experiencing any nightmares.

Tadase's P.O.V:

~A Week Ago~

"Let me out!" I banged on the door, trying to open it again but the handle wouldn't budge. "I don't understand, how are you going to talk to Amu normally if you're like that?"

"It is actually pretty simple. When she goes back to Earth, she will be normal but when I need her, she will go back to the form she is in now." Saaya's voice rang in my head, I punched the door and raked my hair with my fingers.

"So, what do you want me to do next?" I asked, figuring it was impossible to open the door.

"Spend time with Amu, make her confess her love to you." She said, still talking to me through my mind.

"I don't understand what that will do, I am an angel, I can't steal a soul if a girl confesses to me like a demon." I said, but there was no response. "I'm guessing we'll cross that bridge when we get there?"

"No, I have everything planned out, I just don't want you to know anything yet. If I was doing this without a plan, then everything would crumble beneath my feet."

"Fine, I won't bother you for the details, for now." I said, ending the conversation there. I walked up to the door again, I heard her quickly grab the handle and chuckled.

"If you can hear me, then just listen. I will save you, even if it costs me my life. You are just a little girl who was dragged into this, I'm the one who did it because I wanted power." I disappointed myself.

I remember every detail from when Saaya asked me to work for her, it was before White Mask was pulled into her wicked schemes. I was the angel who killed , so I had some of my powers taken away because of it. Saaya approached me when I was roaming Earth, offering me unlimited power for a simple girl's life. I didn't realize how many lives would actually be ruined if I killed one girl, and now I feel terrible.

Amu's P.O.V:

~Current Time~

My eyes felt heavy, my muscles were weak, including I had dark circles under my eyes. I lifted the spoon from my cereal to my mouth, but it wasn't open so it just hit my lips, leaving some of the sugary flakes stuck on my cheeks.

"Amu, do you want to take a nap?" Ami asked, eating her own breakfast.

"I just woke up, I don't need a..." My eyes closed, my head nearly dropping into the bowl until I quickly woke myself up.

"Your eyes are bloodshot, are you having trouble sleeping?" My mother asked.

"Now that you mention it, they do sting a bit." I slowly raised my hand to my eye, rubbing it gently.

"Go to bed sweetheart, there's nothing that you had to do today anyway." My mother recommended.

"If you insist." I excused myself from the table, barely able to drag my feet up the stairs. I collapsed on my fluffy bed, not bothering to cover my window, the sunlight somehow felt comforting. At least I didn't change out of my pajamas yet, so I don't have to get up and change.

I opened my eyes when I felt something block out the sun, seeing the silhouette of someone sitting on my window ledge. I blinked a couple of time, readjusting my vision to see Ikuto there, looking as if he wanted to come in. I reached out my hand, unlocking it so he could open it himself.

"You look tired." He commented.

"Like I didn't already know." I rolled my eyes, rolling over so I was facing away from him.

"Not been getting enough sleep?" He asked, sitting on the edge of my bed.

"How did you guess?" I said sarcastically, but he didn't seem to catch it.

"Neither have I, but demons don't really need to sleep in the first place." He shrugged. I glanced over my shoulder, seeing his eyes were a bit red. "Well I'll leave you alone if you want to sleep." He was about to get up, until I grabbed his sleeve and he sat back down, his eyes a bit wide.

"Stay here until I fall asleep?" I asked, his eyes reminded wide until he blinked and nodded, pulling his hand way. I closed my eyes and felt myself drift away, finally feeling my mind at peace.


I felt something strong wrapped around me, and it didn't feel like a comforter like all. It was like a pair of arms, wrapped around my waist. The comforter was also pulled over my head, making it incredibly hot underneath. Some shuffled behind me and pressed against my back, I felt my face go red and I tried to get out of the bed, but the moving just made the two arms wrap tighter around my stomach. Something was placed on the top of my head, I wasn't sure what it was but I wanted it off. I looked over my shoulder to see a person behind me with a black shirt, the same one Ikuto was wearing...

WHAT THE HELL IS IKUTO DOING IN MY BED, AND POSITIONED LIKE THIS!?

"Ikuto, get off!" I exclaimed, trying to pry his hands from my body.

"I feel pretty comfortable like this." He said.

"You have been awake this entire time?" I asked.

"Only when you started screaming in your mind, I was trying to enter your dreams." He said.

"Why!?"

"Wanted to see if you were dreaming about me, strawberry head." I could feel his smirk burning into the back of my head.

"Why are you sleeping in my bed, with your arms around me?" I was still struggling to get them off.

"I got tired, and I just woke up like this." He explained, I sighed and finally gave up. I was currently curled up like a ball, while Ikuto's chest pressed against my back with his chin resting on my head.

"You know what, I feel better already, I think I should get up and face the day." I tried to get up again, but he just pulled me back down.

"Your human body heat feels nice." He pressed his face against my hair, I heard him inhale deeply.

"Let me go, you demonic pervert! I know you're just doing this to tick me off!" I declared, trying to break free again.

"Am I really?" He whispered, his hot breath blowing against my neck. My heart was pounding, my breath hitching in the back of my throat; if he didn't want to tick me off, why else would he be clinging to me like this?

"L-let go!" I said again, my hands suddenly feeling sweaty as I grabbed his.

"So you want to hold my hand?" He asked.

"I'm trying to get you off!" I exclaimed. I felt some wet and slimy run down my neck, I shivered and quickly realized what he did. "Did you just lick me?" I asked.

"Did you enjoy it?"

"Of course not."

"Then no, I didn't." He finally let me go, getting up and stretching his arms.

"That didn't sound convincing." I said, sitting up and rubbing my comforter against the place he licked me. "Gross, gross, gross." I kept repeating.

"Don't pretend you didn't like it." He licked his lips.

"Why would I, it's disgusting." I spat.

"Oh yeah? Well you liked it when I-" He quickly cut himself off, I looked away and stared at my legs, fiddling with the end of my shirt. "I'm sorry, that was a bit out of hand."

"Ikuto, can we get something straight?" I quickly said, his eyebrows furrowed in confusion. "I talked to Utau about everything, and she said I had a crush on you. I started freaking out a bit, but she told me it was just a sexual attraction, not an actual liking. I mean I like you, but as a friend." I said, I couldn't tell what he was thinking with his blank eyes and expressionless face, and it scared me a little.

"Of course you would have a sexual attraction to me, I mean look at me." He gestured at himself.

"So now we're going from demonic pervert to demonic, narcissistic pervert?" I teased him. The way he reacted to the conversation was comforting, but also a bit disappointing. I thought he would be more effected, a bit surprised, or at least something like that.

"Amu, Tadase is here to see you!" My mom shouted from downstairs, my eyes widened while Ikuto smirked once again.

"I guess I should introduce myself to your blondie boyfriend." He stood up.

"You knew?!" I seemed shocked, he just looked back at me.

"Knew what? Are you actually going out with him?" It was a joke, but I just gave away my secret. I don't know what bothered me about him knowing, I just knew he couldn't, or else something would happen, I can sense it.

"Of course not, I just didn't know you knew he was...blonde." I chuckled, punching his shoulder playfully, but he looked skeptical.

"But you know I have seen him before. Are you and Tadase dating?" He towered over me, I shrank down under his powerful gaze but managed to stay strong.

"Yes." I squeaked.

THAT WAS NOT STAYING STRONG AMU!

I quickly raised my hands up to cover me, like he was going to attack me or something, eye closed tightly, waiting for a response. Instead, I heard some footsteps and opened my eyes, seeing him heading towards my window.

"I'll let you two be alone then, have fun." He smiled back at me, then jumping out of the window, I sighed and I felt my heart drop. His smile, it was not a genuine one, a phony one being used to hide another emotion.

But the question was, what was that emotion?

Rima's P.O.V:

~That Night~

With such a big mansion, you think there would be something to do, right?

Wrong!

I walked down the long corridor, trying to find something to entertain myself, I noticed a door I had never opened before. I placed my hand on the knob and turned it, seeing that it was unlocked.

Inside there was only one couch and a large television, I have never used one but I did know that the vampire castle in Hell had one somewhere. I walked up to it and pressed the large red button on the side of it, a large image appearing on the screen.

"In other news, there has been a total disappearance of three girls thus far, the kidnapper still unknown." The woman said. "News" was read on the bottom-right corner of the screen, I sat on the couch an listened intently, thinking that a supernatural creature was behind this. "So far, only one person said they had witnessed a strange siting, and she is here with us now." The screen switched to another woman, she looked like she looked like a teenager with light blonde hair, but with an expression of terror on her face.

"I was walking down this street, and I saw a man come out of that alley, a bit of blood on his black jacket." She explained, pointing towards the alley.

"Do you suspect that the girls are dead than?" The guy interviewing her asked.

"He could have been injured because the girls fought back and got away, but there is a slight chance of that." She said.

"We even had her describe the man in question, so if you see him, please call the police." A drawn image popped up on the screen, showing a drawing that looked exactly like Ikuto.

"Utau! Utau, get your ass in here!" I shouted, Utau came running in and immediately direct her attention at the screen, staring at the picture.

"That idiot, I told him to be careful." She ran out, I quickly followed her out of the house as we ran to the center of the city, searching for the blue-haired culprit.

Saaya's P.O.V:

I watched the television in amusement, chuckling slightly at the words she said.

"What are you doing, and when did you get a TV in here?" Tadase asked, walking into my throne room.

"I just put it in here, and come and look for yourself." He walked beside me and stared at the screen.

"We even had her describe the man in question, so if you see him, please call the police." The woman said, the picture appearing on the screen.

"That's Ikuto, why is he on there?" Tadase asked, I picked up the remote and turned it off.

"Amu told Ikuto that you two were dating, he went insane and killed three girls and ate their souls." I said with a smug smirk.

"Ikuto would never do that, he would never actually kill a girl to eat her soul." Tadase pointed out.

"Are you defending him?"

"No, I am simply stating the facts!" He snapped, I snorted and walked up to him.

"I am not lying, he did actually kill those girls." I said. I may lie about a lot of things, but this was not one of them.

"He would never be that stupid to get caught by a mortal." Tadase argued.

"Well, he did not get seen by a mortal. In fact, he did not get seen by anyone, I just happened to have some information without any normal proof. So, I sent Lulu down there to play the innocent bystander and give them an exact image of him." I smiled, Tadase stared at the blank screen.

"Why, how would that help us?"

"With Ikuto out-of-the-way, you can spend more time with Amu and have her confess to you." I placed my hands on his cheeks and shook his head, treating him like a child.

"This plan won't work, because a demon can easily escape any cop chase or prison."

"If Amu's parents or sister see Ikuto on the wanted list, they will make sure she never sees him again."

"You sure have all of this worked out, don't you?" Tadase narrowed his eyes at me.

"Of course I do, I am a queen with a plan."
