He opened his eyes to the blinding light of the setting sun. He brushed aside his blonde hair from his forehead, taking a deep breath of the evening air. The grass beneath him tickled his skin but he didn't shift or sit up to avoid it. Clouds floated over him carelessly, observing everyone's lives but happily existing away from all the trouble.

"Hey." Garuru stepped over him blocking his view of the sky.

"What are you doing here?" Ganrougel sighed. He rested his forearm over his eyes.

"Mrs. Hinata called me. She was getting worried about you sitting outside for all of this time." Garuru explained. "She said you hadn't even eaten anything she offered. You don't even talk to anyone."

"What would I talk about?" Ganrougel asked.

"Anything, listen to what they find. Show you're willing to help. They hurt just like you. It might help if they see you working as well." Garuru suggested.

"I can't help. I'd only get in the way." Ganrougel whispered. He moved his arm to look at the sky once more. "I like it out here. I'm close if anything happens but… there aren't any painful memories like inside."

"It's been four months. This isn't good for you." said Garuru.

"I don't give a damn what's good for me." Ganrougel growled, bearing his fangs. He rose to his feet feeling anger flood his body. "She's trapped in that crystal and I can't get her out. I wasn't even good enough to save her before she had to rely on that damn spell."

"Give them time, they'll get her out." Garuru sighed. "But they can't focus on her if they're worried about you too."

"They shouldn't care about me." Ganrougel tensed his shoulders as he walked past Garuru and looked at the sun.

Garuru placed a hand on Ganrougel's shoulder. "I know what you're feeling. I blamed myself when Pururu and I lost our own baby. It was the first hope I really had after you died and I lost it again. I hurt Pururu when I secluded myself like you're doing now. Take the time you need but don't cut yourself out."

Ganrougel listened to his brother's heavy confession. He sighed and ran a hand through his hair. "I'm sorry…. I just-"

"I get it." Garuru replied. "Now sit and eat something."

"I'm still not human no matter how I look, why do you people insist I eat food?" Ganrougel furrowed his brow confused.

"It seems like you're taking care of yourself if you eat I guess, and who knows what food might do for you if you try." said Garuru.

"Maybe later." Ganrougel sighed.

"That's all I can ask I guess." Garuru patted Ganrougel's shoulder heartily. "I should head home. I promised Pururu I wouldn't be gone long."

"How is she? I realize I missed a lot. Does she know about me?" Ganrougel asked.

"She's doing fine. Not one to quit and she won't let me either." Garuru's tone lightened as he talked about his wife. "She's gotten better at reading me so I wouldn't be able to hide thinking about you even if I wanted to. We talked for a long time that night."

"I bet." Ganrougel smirked as he tried to picture how that story was explained.

"After the whole battle in the other world I had an even longer talk with her." Garuru went on. His eyes seemed to gleam for a second. "She made me swear not to tell anyone yet but I can't keep this from you. We decided to try again and she's currently pregnant."

Ganrougel felt his heart lodge in his throat. A race of emotions made him dizzy but through it all he was happy most of all. He locked his arms tight around Garuru's shoulders. "I hope it all works out."

"You too." Garuru pat his brother's back. "Just don't see it as the end yet, ok?"

"Alright." Ganrougel nodded. He stayed to finish watching the sun set after Garuru had left. He let out a heavy sigh before, for the first time in months, he stepped inside.

Krueger typed away at his keyboard. Glancing quickly between his many monitors his brain was buzzing. After a while he pushed up his glasses and rubbed his tired eyes.

"You should rest if you're tired." Molioke suggested softly from behind him holding a bowl of curry.

Krueger ignored her recommendation and grabbed the bowl. "What did it do today?"

"Nothing." Molioke replied. "He's been really quiet for the last few days."

"I should check on it myself." Krueger took one bite from his bowl before lumbering to the door he didn't let even Ganrougel into. A single table sat in the middle with a body strapped on top. A thin cone of light beamed down from a dim light bulb over the man's face. The heavy door creaked behind Krueger alerting the man on the table of his presence.

The man started shivering more as Krueger walked closer. Hush whimpers escaped his lips before Krueger covered his mouth. "Ssshhhh, don't try too hard now. I'm not going to do anything too bad today. Mo… would you tell me how long until he would die on his own if I just left him in here?"

Molioke stood near the door waiting to see what would happen. "A few days. He doesn't really have much strength of his own anymore and even with all the internal modifications you made on him his body wouldn't last long."

"Thank you." Krueger looked back and forth between the man's eyes. He leaned closer before whispering. "Today is the anniversary. I've kept you as my lab rat for exactly the same number of days as you held me. Do you know what the real difference is?"

Krueger felt the man twitch subtly under his hand. "The difference is that I broke away from you. You built quite the beast and I used what you gave me to build my own life. Now that I have you, you're just broken and weak. I guess I can't tell if I'm just the better scientist or also the cruelest. Which do you think?"

Krueger pulled his hand away from the man. He watched him struggle to speak, but he waited. Listening for whatever words would come out. "M… mo-monster…."

A deep chuckle rose from Krueger. It quickly grew to a loud laughter. "KUU kukuuuu~ Yes I know, look at what you created. What the better to kill you with and return your favor of trying to get rid of me all those years ago. I've decided not to let you wait out the rest of your last few days."

Krueger quickly grabbed the man's head and twisted it, snapping his neck. "Don't inject him with the serum 999."

"Alright." Molioke acknowledged his request. She watched him stand straight and slowly walk away from the table. She opened the door for him to leave and followed, closing the door tight behind them.

"Mo," Krueger whispered, looking over his shoulder down onto her. "I don't need your help with the dark subject anymore. I'll ask you to leave if you want."

"I want to stay here though." Molioke gave a soft smile.

"Why?" Krueger turned to face her properly. "I know you said I'm interesting but honestly I'm just a mess of body parts. I'm not nice or handsome so why would you stay? There's no benefit."

"Because I think you care more than you actually show." Molioke answered easily before a soft blush crept over her cheeks. "Besides, you thanked me earlier, and you even helped me get my magic back. You were also patient when it hurt." Krueger watched her caress her shoulder as a gesture to the tattoo on her back. She then bore her soft sparkling eyes into his. "I think maybe you just need someone you can open up to, someone to trust. I want to be that for you."

Krueger slammed his hands on the wall behind Molioke, cornering her. His face had paled and he felt his heart staggering in his chest. "I'm not easy to get along with, you should know that by now."

"That's fine." Molioke gave a small and embarrassed smile.

"I swear if you tell anyone that I like you I'll tell them how big of an idiot you are. The fact you hide your intelligence under all that cruel sweetness will only help prove it." Krueger threatened as he leaned closer to her.

"Deal." Molioke whispered before leaning up to kiss him. Her gentle fingers lovingly grazed his chin to show she had no real fear of him. Krueger stiffened before placing a hand behind her head and returning her kiss. He gave up fighting his own fear and let her hold him close, let his hand fondle her side before resting on her lower back and pulling her closer. Molioke pulled away to catch her breath from the growing excitement. "Do… do you love me?"

Krueger was surprised by her question. He thought for a second before giving his usual crooked grin showing his manipulative side. "You have to earn the right to hear me say it."

Molioke's head and heart swirled under the emotions. She loved how he teased her. She wasn't even sure if she felt weightless from her magic or the way she wanted to swoon under his gaze. That night in their hidden lair, Molioke allowed Krueger to 'study' her instead. In return she was allowed to see Krueger in a softer expression of himself. To hear him whimper for her and need her made her feel something new and beautiful.
