"Phantom has Saya," Hagi told David. David stood up and coughed.
"I expected him to kill her," David said.
"No, Phantom refers to Saya as his lover now. Whatever he wants with her it can't be good," Solomon said. His fists trembled with anger. He wanted to kill Carl with his own hands now; however, Hagi had promised Saya that he'd kill him. Kill him for raping her, hurting her, and much more.
"Lover?" David asked.
"That wasn't as nearly as surprising as I hoped it would be," David said.
"I guess we'll go to America to study the crater where Saya and Phantom supposedly died," David said.
"I don't think we can," Hakumei said.
"Yeah, we did research on it and it's a restricted area now," Getsuei said. David pondered about the subject for a moment.
"Then Carl must have something hidden in there we don't know about. We'll have to send in a spy," David said.
"But first I'll run a search on him. If he's working for a company of some sort we'll have to know," Julia said as she turned to her computer.
The jet arrived soon. Saya sat quiet by a window.
"You look thirsty," Carl said, he sat next to her and gave her a wineglass. Saya looked at the wineglass bloodthirstily and eagerly drank until the glass was empty.
"That man, with the long black hair, he looked so familiar. What did they call him?" Saya asked. Carl cupped his hand under her chin and looked into her face.
"He looks so familiar because he was the one sent to kidnap our daughter," Carl lied, he leaned into to kiss her gently but Saya didn't let him. She turned away from the caress and looked out the window.
"I-I feel like him and I were friends once," Saya said. She wrapped her arms around her waist and shivered. Something inside her wanted to go to that man. But her love for Carl suppressed that feeling and made her stay by Carl. After all...Didn't she love Carl?
"He betrayed us, and that blond cohort of his is a traitor as well," Carl said. Saya looked at him with a confused gaze.
"Why did you call them brothers then? Are you related? I saw no physical semblance," Saya said.
"That is something I cannot answer," Carl said. He set a hand on her face and leaned into her face closely. As his lips neared her mouth Saya spoke softly.
"Carl, promise me that if they destroy everything we love. If they hurt everything and there's nothing we can do about it that you'll kill me. You'll kill me by drinking all my blood and then you'll join me with our daughter in heaven," Saya said. Carl didn't answer, he kissed her instead. Remembering his body against her own she remembered the acceptance she gave him. The love, lust, and obsession between them both. She wanted more of it, her body craved it.
I'll take that as a yes.
Hypnotized by the caress she wrapped her arms around his shoulders and embraced him to kiss her more. Only knowing that she loved him, while something inside her ached to destroy him.
