It was Sunday Morning as Bryce was sitting in the kitchen staring at the TV as it played a horror movie, it was showing a scene where a young adult was killing people in abandoned building.

Bryce just stared at the screen with blank eyes, and twirled the kitchen knife he had in his hand. He was in the middle of making some breakfast until the scene played out on the Tv and caused him to stop midway.

Watching the young teen that was in a hospital gown of some sorts showing off the large scar running along their back with the bruises and covered in blood made him think back to his own past.

Looking at the knife in his hand, he stared at the blade and saw how clean it was. He knew that it was missing something, something red.

Blood. His blood. Anyone's blood.

You failed Us.

He slightly stiffened at the voice ringing through his head. He felt a stinging sensation rang through as he felt the seeds of guilt and hatred emerging from his body.

Looking back at the blade at his hands, Bryce knew what he had to do.

Lifting the knife a little and the blade pointed directly downwards, he was about to thrust it towards his palm when a voice suddenly ranged through the kitchen.

"Brycieee~" Izumi called out playfully causing him to stop midway. He put the knife on the counter and turned around as his companion entered the kitchen.

Izumi was getting ready for her date as she was in nothing but a towel, wrapped around her breasts and her hair flowing down to her back.

"What is it?"

"What do you think I should wear to the date, a white blouse with ribbons?" she asked holding up the dress in her left hand before switching over to her right. "Or… this long blue frilly dress?"

"And why do you need my opinion in this?" he asked with a hint of curiosity. "You are killing her."

"Ugh. Boys." She sighed and shook her head in exasperation. "Just because I'm killing doesn't mean I still can't make a good impression. Gotta make our date enjoyable before delivering the finishing blow."

"…Okay." He shrugged his shoulders before pointing to one of her dresses. "Blouse."

Izumi quickly nodded her head, glad that he helped her out as she went back to her room, leaving the kitchen.

Bryce was about to go back to his own activities when Izumi came back still in her towel and appeared behind him, tapping him on the shoulder.

"Yes?" He asked.

Izumi had a frown on her face before holding her hand out as if she was expecting something. If he could he would've changed his expression to confusion as he stared at her hand wondering what she wanted.

"Give me it."

"What—"

"Bryce… give me the knife." She said with a firm tone in her voice. Bryce sighed inwardly as he took the knife from counter and handed it to her. Izumi with a frown on her face, sighed as she threw the knife into the sink away from them.

"Couch. Now." She ordered him.

Complying, he went straight to the couch and sat down with Izumi not far behind sitting down next to him. She heard a scream come from the tv as she saw a movie playing on the screen, grabbing the remote she turned it off.

"Bryce." Izumi called out to him as he turned his head towards her. "You need to stop doing this." She said in a worried tone. "do you need to talk about it?"

"I'm fine." He responded way too quickly for Izumi to believe his words, she knew that he wasn't okay.

"Bryce…" Izumi started as she leaned her head against his and gently grasp his hands. "… you know you can talk to me about anything, right?"

"Yes…"

"Just… *sigh*… please don't hurt yourself too much."

"I cannot promise that."

"Then just for tonight…" she pleaded as she gripped his hands tighter than normal. "…you can shadow me and my date from a distance."

"You don't need me to shadow you, Izumi." He stated to her.

"Bryce… please…"

The boy slightly stiffened as he saw the pleading look in her eyes. She was asking for him not to hurt himself, but he knew she was asking him much more.

"…Okay." He nodded his head in acceptance.

Izumi sadly smiled at him as she pressed a hand to his cheek and moved her head a little to kiss his forehead.

"Thank you…" She stroked his cheek with her thumb. Suddenly she pulled him down and had his head resting on her bosom, confusing him as he blinked at the sudden action.

"Izumi…"

"Just let me enjoy this." She said softly as he just nodded his head and kept his head there as she ran her fingers through his hair. Both enjoying the comforting silence.

Izumi was in the park by herself as she waited for her date. Her name was Yuuma Amano, and she approached her at the end of school while Bryce was waiting on her.

She didn't even know her for five minutes and was asked out by the shy girl immediately. Izumi wasn't fooled, she knew an act when she saw one.

Thanks to all that time sent in the looney bin along with Bryce, she's able to read people's expressions like a book. After all being asked out on a date, after meeting someone for five minutes was not common.

Plus she was exactly hiding the killing intent behind her fake smile, all in all it was a poor act.

She was wearing a sleeveless sweater with short pencil skirt and low heels, waiting on Yuuma.

Soon Yuuma arrived and both girls went to a restaurant and had lunch. Both girls had salad as they chattered among themselves about common things.

Izumi knew that by the end of this date, one of them would die and it would not be her. She also wondered what she would taste like, thanks to her dragon.

"Are you enjoying the food, Yuuma-chan?" Izumi asked with her head tilted.

"Yes, it's really good." Yuuma replied giving her a smile in return.

After a good meal, they spent the rest of the day hanging out together doing whatever girls did. Not that Izumi would know since she barely had any girl friends of her own age. Murayama and Katase didn't count. Well not yet at least. Izumi couldn't help but smile at meeting them, and was glad that she finally met them, but knew that once they learn what she did, she knew that she wouldn't hang around them anymore.

Eventually both girls arrived at the park, and they were now standing at the center near the fountain.

"Thank you for the date Izumi-chan. It was really fun." Yuuma beamed as the brunette scratched her cheek in embarrassment.

"Hehe, you flatter me too much Yuuma."

"Could you do one more thing for me to make this night memorable?" Yuuma whispered as Izumi mentally smiled cruelly.

'And here it comes.'

"Could you die for me?" Yuuma whispered into her ear as Izumi feigned confusion and tilted her head.

"Huh?"

Yuuma backed up before she transformed with her wings suddenly sprouted from her back and she flew up into the air, her casual clothes replaced with a dominatrix outfit.

"I said, would you please die for me Izumi~" She said in a seductive tone. She then formed a light spear and aiming it towards her stomach and threw it. To her surprise though, the light spear was immediately stopped as Izumi caught the blade with her bare hand.

Yuuma remained shocked as she stared at the blade that Izumi was holding with a smile on her face.

"Aww would you look at that, you tried to kill me?" Izumi said as the blade disappeared and put her hands behind her back.

"W-what?, How… how is that possible?"

"Oh, you mean your spear, well it was pretty easy to dissolve. It wasn't all that strong to begin with anyway, to be honest, it was pretty weak." Izumi sighed in disappointment. Raynare grew annoyed as a vein pulsed on her forehead, she was being taunted and called weak by this human no less. She wasn't weak, she was strong and hearing those words come from a human or better yet this pathetic low creature in front of her ticked her off.

"Weak!? Are you calling me weak, you bitch!?"

"Well no need to get all angry about it," Izumi waved off, her smile never leaving her face. "But yep pretty much.

"I'll show you weak." Raynare shouted as she formed two spears and threw them towards Izumi. The brunette simply giggled as she dodged the first one by simply moving her head to the side and dodged the second one by twirling around.

The fallen angel grew frustrated, forming more spears and throwing them with more force towards her target. Izumi just laughed and started humming tunes to herself as she dodged the spears with ease while twirling on her feet, performing a little dance.

Raynare gritted her teeth as none of her spears hit the brunette and decided to change tactics. She formed a giant spear in her hands and charged at Izumi, aiming for a finishing blow towards her stomach.

Izumi sighed as she held out her hand and caught the attack once again, with ease stopping Raynare as wind flew past Izumi from the force of the attack.

"W-what?"

"Well…that was boring." Yuuma noticed the change in Izumi's voice, it went from cheerful to boredom as a sigh escaped her lips.

"I guess that was all you can do?" Izumi asked while shrugging her shoulders. She grabbed Raynare by her arm and pulled her forward. As she did, she use her knee and slammed it into the fallen angel stunning her for a bit before kicking her back to the ground and planted her foot on her back.

"Why don't we take away your chance for escape..." Izumi muttered earning a confused look from Raynare before the fallen angel suddenly felt a huge amount of pain coming from her back and screamed.

A huge ripping sound echoed through the air as Izumi grabbed hold of Raynare's entire left wing and easily ripped it off her back. She tossed it to the side as Raynare screamed in agony, smiling cruelly as the fallen angel screamed.

"Oh, what's wrong? Does it hurt? Here why don't I make it feel better?" Izumi as she grabbed the other wing and ripped it off easily.

Raynare bellowed in pain as her wings were torn off her back. It felt like her soul was being ripped into two in the worst way possible.

"Wow, you look a lot better now Yuuma." Izumi mocked as she placed a hand on her cheek, watching Raynare twitch and gasp in pain as blood continuously flowed from her back. "Without those wings, you look like a bloody dominatrix prostitute."

Raynare tried to crawl away, she wanted to escape… escape this girl who was a monster. Not a sacred gear user, but a cruel monster.

She was stopped in her tracks as Izumi stepped on her back harshly, earning a howl of pain before being turned over onto her back. She looked up and her eyes widened in fear. Looking up she saw Izumi's figure being foreshadowed only showing her glowing red eyes as a black Aura appeared around her body and a figure of a dragon head appeared above her.

"W-What…what are you?" Raynare stuttered as Izumi giggled.

"Oh, nothing Yuuma, just your everyday average teenage girl who's nothing more than a lovable pervert and your average killer."

"M…m..m-m…m-m" Raynare was frozen in fear as Izumi leaned her head in and smiled sadistically at her attacker.

"Go on… say it…"

"M-m…monster!" Raynare shouted as Izumi laughed in a maniacal manner.

"That's right Raynare, I am a monster.… I'm your monster." Izumi whispered. Suddenly the dragon figure over Izumi loomed past her and chomped Raynare on her head before she could scream. Blood spattered all over the ground, her head was in pieces as the dragon tore if off the dead body and then spit it out.

Soon the dragon disappeared, and Izumi's aura faded away as she walked over to the dead body. She outstretched her hand towards the deceased body and soon a purple orb with black feathers floating around floated towards her.

Izumi grabbed the orb and held it to her mouth before biting into it and then swallowed it down her throat. As it disappeared, Izumi licked her lips tasting the blood that had splattered onto her mouth and smiled.

"That was good but not good enough, it needs more seasoning." Izumi says as she kneeled picked up the deceased body and opened her mouth revealing her sharp canines.

After 30 minutes, Izumi finished eating the dead body and licked her lips in satisfaction. "That's much better." She stood up and turned her head around as she heard a bush rustle and the small sounds of feet getting farther away from her.

"Looks like the little kitty cat finally scampered away." Izumi said as she rolled her eyes in annoyance. "And now things just got more annoying."

Izumi then looked down at her clothes and noticed the blood smeared all over.

"Oops, looks like I went overboard again. Bryce is not gonna like it." She then started walking away from the park with a smirk on her lips.

"Oh well, I'll be sleeping in the nude tonight. Too bad, I can't get a reaction out of him." She released a pout on her face as she continued walking home. "It's no fun when I can't tease him."
