"Who are you?" Kiri asked confused.

"You've forgotten me? What a shame. Then let me reintroduce myself, my name is Night Egarashi." The man said.

Kiri thought for a moment. The name seemed very familiar.

"The Dragon of the tower." Agito said with bitter hate in his voice.

"That's right! Now I remember! You're the guy who challenged us and then asked me out on a date!" Kiri exclaimed, after Agito jogged her memory.

"Yes but you did refuse and you also beat me in our little competition."

"Too bad… but what are you dong here?"

"I was looking for you actually. I wanted to ask you to return to Japan as there is chaos everywhere. If all of the kings don't join then there could be trouble. I'm sure Ikki has already told you."

Both Agi and Kiri shook their heads. Ikki hadn't mentioned any of it. They would have to talk to him about that after they got home.

"Let's go shopping together. Let's get to know each other first. Then we'll talk about the going back to Japan thing." Kiri said while locking elbows with him and dragging him along.

Agi gave Night a glare and followed Kiri's lead. He didn't like seeing her so close to another guy unless he wasn't a threat.

AERO…

Aero sat on the bed panting. His legs caused him a great deal of pain. He couldn't get anywhere near sleep and he had completely lost his appetite. Ikki came into the room with a bowl of soup and a large glass of water. He set it on the table and took out a peace of paper.

"You should eat and if you're gonna go to sleep, Kir told me to give you some pain killers." Ikki said while still looking at the paper.

Aero took the soup and ate. He took the pain killers and fell into welcomed darkness. He hadn't slept for over 48 hours and he was grateful that he was aloud to have painkillers to help him sleep.

He woke with a jolt as an overwhelming pain stabbed through his left leg. He opened his eyes to see Kiri unbandaging his leg. He began to hyperventilate without realizing it. Kiri didn't even bother to look at him she just continued unbandaging. After she had unmanaged both his legs she cleaned them and rebandaged them. Aero was wincing the entire time. He was afraid she was going to play one of her games again tonight.

"Don't look so scared. It's not like I'm going to kill you any time soon. I may not kill you at all." Kiri said.

Then she did something unexpected, she moved closer to him until their noses almost touched. She smiled and pecked him. His entire body went rigid. He was never expecting that. He didn't even know what was going on. Kiri was driving him mad and he couldn't do anything to stop her. He would have to play her games until she got bored of him and then he would be thrown away like a broken toy.

"Isn't this what you always wanted? What I always refused you?" Kiri teased.

Kiri put her hand around Aero's neck and lightly dug her long nails into it.

"It would be so easy to extinguish your life." Kiri brought her hand up to touch the side of his smooth face "I want to here you scream in pain and agony. The way you made me cry and beg for your forgiveness. I'm gonna make you wish I had killed you."

Kiri sent her fist down onto Aero's wound with a loud sound. Aero screamed at the top of his lungs and his hands flew to his leg but they stopped by Kiri's restraining ones. She quickly tied his hands to the bedpost beside him with one of her neck ties. Aero continued to sob and scream through clenched teeth. Kiri smiled at his agonized face. She took a pocket knife out of her pocket and played with it a bit. Aero watched the knife with watery eyes and rapidly shook his head.

"No, please! I'm sorry I really am!" Aero begged through gasps.

Kiri pulled out the blade and stabbed Aero's leg with it. He gave out another scream as Kiri twisted the blade in his leg. Aero sobbed even louder and begged Kiri to stop. Kiri gave a twist or a drag for every word he released. Kiri eventually started cutting lines in him. It didn't cause him to scream but it frightened him quite a bit.

Kiri put away the knife and lay down on top of Aero. He gave a shiver and a small whimper as her elbow hit his bullet wound. He sobbed on and on. He had good reason to too. Kiri had been playing with him for over three hours and his voice had become hoarse from all the screaming. He could barely speak louder than a whisper at the moment.

"Wasn't that fun?" Kiri asked sarcastically.

"…"

"Awww… it seems you didn't have fun like I did. Does it pain you so badly?" Kiri said in a mock baby voice.

"Please stop… it your going to kill me just do it already. Please!" Aero said through sobs.

"No chance. I'm not bored of you yet. Well see you later, I'm going to bed." With that Kiri got up and let the room.

She didn't bother to untie Aero either. She sat at the door and listened to him cry.

NEXT MORNING…

"What was all the screaming last night?" Night asked at breakfast.

"My horror films. I couldn't get to sleep." Kiri answered
