I couldn't stand it! That look he gave me, wondering about the one I hated the most, begging me to give him the information he wanted. The information I'd rather die keeping secret than living with it out to the world.

In truth, I did know where Dan was. He and his family had to go on a 'family emergency' in Florida. He wouldn't be back until late this night. But my thoughts were clouded by Shun. His messed up hair from all the physical contact he'd had. His lips parted, panting, gasping. Sweat covering his body in the most delicious ways. He, not paying close enough attention to me until I picked him up and carried him the rest of the way home…

I shook my head vigorously. I couldn't think of that at the moment. The walls had ears, so they would know what I was thinking of. They would know, and tell Shun that I was, in a sense, stalking him. Wow, I needed a life.

Suddenly, I heard a pleading voice in my head. "Do you know where Dan has been lately?"He had sounded so desperate, so deprived. I guess It make me snap, which was way I went back to the apartment I lived in instead of watching Shun like I would normally have. I clutched my head in pain, groaning ever so slightly.

Shun's voice echoed in my head, repeating and repeating, until I think I was going to snap. I couldn't stand Dan; I was going to bloody murder him. Why? Why did Shun like him so much? Why? Why couldn't he like me? Why? It hurt so much! I was scared. Scared that Shun loved Dan, even though I knew he liked Alice more. I was scared that I'd never see him smile at me. Just so scared!

Naga once told me that the only way to get rid of your fears is by destroying them. That would lead me to killing Shun, but I knew I'd never intentionally hurt my Angel. Never. I'd never kill Shun. Than an idea came to my head.

Letting go of my head, I smirk ever so wildly, and I knew I looked like an insane madman, but it couldn't be helped. I'd destroy this fear. I'd rip it to shreds, and enjoy it's scream. I'd laugh in it's face, too.

Taking a small blade and a hammer, I left my apartment, smirking the whole way as I headed towards the brunette's house. He wouldn't know what hit him. He wouldn't suspect a thing. And most of all: he wont live to tell anyone.

Hiding in the shadows using the stealth I earned from watching Shun all the time, I patiently waited with eagerness radiating from me. I'd said I'd destroy him, didn't I? My weapons stayed hidden in the safety of my coat. This would be fun.

Seeing the lights turn on, I smirked even more. Dan stepped into my room, and closed the door behind him. I decided that I'd make my entrance. Stepping into the light of the moon, I made sure I was visible to my newfound enemy. "Hello Dan." I said icily, with my normal mocking tone in it.

"Masquerade!?" was my reply. Ah, he said that a lot. Now I remember why I stopped by so much. It was so no one would grow too suspicious as to why I was gone all the time, and it was also so I could get my chance to intimidate the young man in front of me. "What do you want this time?

"I propose a battle. You have one hour to prepare. Meet me in the abandoned warehouse by the by, got it?" I almost scowled the last part, but I kept as composed as I could. My smirk was ever present on my face.

Dan grinned and said he would be there. What a fool. I smirked at the thought. He'll die today. He'll die as cruelly and painfully I could make it.


I know, It's short, but It's only half of this chapter. I just thought of adding this on right know because it's a cool cliff hanger... and because I want to draw Masquerade and Shun together...

Anyways. This chapter is dedicated more or less to Nazrindi for being such a nice person! XD Thank you so much!

Disclaimer: I still find this pointless, but... I own nothing but drawings I did of Shun and Masquerade.
