'' Look at me.'' Hibari said to Kazumi as the second one was starting to regain her consciousness.

She hesitated for a moment. '' But, I'm scared.''

'' Scared that you will be covered with blood just like then. Not your own blood of course.''

Smack!

''Ouch!'' She snapped her eyes open when he hit her at her shoulder.

Slightly...Fortunately.

She looked around her, realising that they were at the living room of his house.

Then she stared at him. Uncosciously she searched for blood on his clothes. Then got mad at herself for even thinking something like that.

No blood , no signs that he wanted to kill someone...

'' Kyoya...'' She almost whispered his name. '' You...you are the same.''

Tears were falling down her cheeks but she didn't seem to care.

Her hands hugged him tightly, as if he was going to disappear in a minute.

'' Of course I am the same. What did you expect?''

The face of a cold blooded murderer. She was expecting to see that. But , instead, she saw two beautiful steel grey eyes looking at her, penetrating her soul.

He might be a cold blooded murderer , but he was also the person who loved deeply his town and school. Who took care of small animals ...

Who, even if he hadn't admitted or said it, loved and cared for her too.

'' It doesn't matter now. I'm glad that you came.'' She let out a smile of relief.

There was a high possibility that she would never manage to be so close to him. And now he had crushed that possibility and she didn't even know how many times she had to thank him.

He could just break up with her. After all, she was a useless herbivore...

Other people might not understand it but if that wasn't a sign of his love then what could it be?

He had ignored his pride for her and she vowed to herself that in the future she would try her best not to let him do such a thing because of her ever again.

'' I had to take my prey back.'' He broke the silence.

'' Oh, I see.'' She blushed and looked down. '' Kyoya, was I annoying?''

'' A lot.''

'' Then why?''

'' It's thanks to those words. Love is something that freeing you. You had said exactly those words. That's why I chose to be with you.''

'' Kyoya, you're such a...''

'' And because I decided to make you my prey.''

'' Sadist!''

'' I won't deny it.'' He smirked and bent down to kiss her. He had missed the taste of her lips. He slipped his tongue inside her wet cavern, savouring her taste.

'' Kyoya.'' She breathed out his name.

'' Shh...Don't say anything. '' He said and kissed her again.

'' I thought that I would never be able to look at you ever again.''

'' I know. Was it scary , my prey?'' He said in a soft voice.

'' Very much. And I'm still worried that when I see the rooftop I'm going to scream out of fear and faint again.I haven't magically forgotten what you did there , Kyoya. But right now there is only one question that bothers me. How did you manage to make me look at you without causing me a mental break down? What did you do? Aren't you the one who murdered those people? Wasn't I supposed to be scared of what you are capable of doing? I wonder why I'm not thinking what a cruel murderer you are. I wonder why I am thinking on how beautiful your eyes are or how much I have missed you. I missed you, Kyoya, I really did.''

The skylark didn't say anything. Instead, he kissed her on the forehead. ''Relax, my prey. You worry too much. The only thing that matters now is that I have you back. Nothing more.''

'' Yeah, you're right. You know , I feel so much better right now.'' She said with a smile.

'' Good. Because it's time for your punishment.''

'' Excuse me?''

'' I have to punish you from running away from me.''

'' I don't like the idea.''

'' I didn't ask you. '' He stated as he looked at the unconscious Kazumi.

Yes, he had beaten the back of her head with a tonfa again. Not too hard, thankfully...
