Author's Note: It has been quite a long time since I've wrote the last chapter. My brain cells are really dead thinking a suitable ending for the story. Any way cut the crap and let's just enter the chapter!

Chapter 17: Death's Sonata Tsukushi's POV:

I have no idea how long I've slept. All I now know that I'm in this completely dark place. I can't even see my hands! Where the hell is this place?

'This is hell,' a voice bloomed, ' or Hades, some may call it.' Who's that? Why is he reading my thoughts?

'How could you forget me so fast Tsukushi? My dear, I thought we had an unforgettable night the night before?' Tsukasa?! I should have known. The mist that he transformed into, made me fainted. He must have brought me here!

'What do you want?' I shouted angrily.

'You should know what I want,' he sneered.

'If you want to kill me, you'll never succeed. Rui will be here soon. He will save me from a devil like you!'

'Don't mix me up with the Devil. He and I walk different path. I just want the world but he wants everything. As for your Rui, I know he will be here. The question is, how long will he take to come,' Tsukasa hissed, 'And will he really have the power to go against me,'

'Rui has the power to do anything,' I yelled back.

'Really? Let's see if he could stop me from torturing you now!' Then, everything happened so fast. One second I was sitting, the next second I was being thrust to the wall. I started waving my punches in the air, hoping to stop Tsukasa from doing anything to me. 'Ha. You think your punches could stop me?' What he said was true. I only had my punches ready in action in this pitch-dark hell to protect myself against this demon that had magical powers. I was completely defenceless.

'Yup. You are defenceless so why waste your energy and try to fight off me?' I hesitated, thinking about what he had said. Within a fraction of a second, I regretted hesitating. Tsukasa seized the opportunity while I was hesitating to grab my hands. With his strength, he easily managed to push my hands right above my head and muttered some Latin words. Immediately, a rope coiled round my hands.

'Let me go!,' I plead, as the bravery I had was lost to darkness surrounding me. Terror, like a raging river, filled my body rapidly. I have never felt so helpless and scared before. Perhaps, this is what they call facing 'Death'. Tsukasa's reply came in the form of a kiss, a french kiss. I tried hard to wriggle out of this situation, but the rope that binds my hands kept me from freeing myself. In the end, I gave up and let Tsukasa kiss me.

'Now, let's start the torture,' he whispered into my ears as his hand went beneath my blouse.

'Tsukasa, please let me go,' I screamed in tears. To be in Tsukasa's embrace now was not what I want. I can't allow myself to be touched by Death. Never!

'Tsukushi, you know you want it, darling,' he said as he continued undressing me despite my hysterical screams and constant howling for him to stop. This is one torture I would never be able to take it.

'Rui', I cried in my heart, ' help me.' Tsukasa read my thoughts and starting laughing like a hyena, enjoying his victory.
