A chill ran through my spine. I felt uneasy. I knew very well who this person was. I broke in cold sweat as I tried to calm myself and ask him what he intends to do.

"We're going to have a little talk, Tsubomi."

He let go of my right hand and I felt cold metal touching my back. Even with my clothes on, I can still feel the coldness of his weapon. It was a gun. I don't know why he brought a gun with him. Is he going to kill me? That's unlikely to happen. They planned on something and I'm sure he's not going against it if he wants to be successful. He held the gun firmly and forced me to open the door.

"Open the damn door or I'll shoot."

Not being able to think straight, I just rode along and opened the door. I'm not that weak to be held as a hostage. As I opened the door and we slowly entered, I thought of using my Concealing ability to prevent him from seeing me. He might think I've escaped from the window or from the balcony. That's not a bad idea. I bit my lip, trying to analyze my own plan. Will it work? I hope so.

Mikoto Hizashi was still holding the gun up and then I turned my back to look at him. I told him that I was just going to put down my things inside my room. He agreed to it but he walked behind me. He was a bit too slow, so I was able to activate my power before he could even get a glimpse of me as he got closer to my room.

"Where did-? Where did you go? Tch. She escaped? She's fast…"

He gripped his gun tighter as he examined the whole room. I'm pretty sure he's thinking that escaping through the window was nearly impossible since my window was too small. I won't fit! Of course, that's the least of my problems since I really didn't escape from the window. Damn, what am I thinking? I just wish he doesn't bump into me or I'm done for.

"Where the hell are you, Kido Tsubomi! Where are you hiding? If you don't show up, I'll break everything in your house to threaten you."

I gulped and gradually walked towards the living room where he was currently searching. He was going through the balcony and the laundry room, even the bathroom just so he could find me. With my ability, I'm sure that he won't be able to find me. I suddenly turned my head to look at the door because I heard continuous knocking. Mikoto also heard the knocks and started to panic.

"Ms. Kido? Your neighbor reported shouting coming from your unit. Is everything okay?"

I felt relieved to hear the apartment security checking up on me. I can't reply to their inquiry since I'm still invisible and Mikoto's going to freak out. He might shoot me or whatever, I don't know.

"Ms. Kido?"

The atmosphere was getting more tensed. Both of us were unable to move an inch. We can't even think of anything. The security was still knocking on the door. It's like they won't leave until I tell them that everything's fine. I stood somewhere near the door and yelled that someone's inside my apartment with me, ready to kill me. Mikoto panicked and looked around, trying to locate my whereabouts. Upon hearing my statement, the security tried to pry open the door but it was locked.

"Hey! Whoever's inside with Ms. Kido, please stop what you are doing! Turn yourself in! Now!"

The people on the other side of the door were already furious. Mikoto walked fast towards the door, opened it and before the two security guards were able to do anything, he shot them on the head, thus killing them. Their lifeless body fell down on the ground, their blood slowly spreading around their bodies. The gunshot wasn't heard due to the silencer on his gun.

I almost let out a cry but I stopped myself by covering my mouth with both hands. I can feel sweat falling non-stop on my whole body. I was getting more nervous by the second, and I'm unable to think rationally. I'm starting to panic and breathe heavily but I slapped myself and convinced my faltering self to fight.

Mikoto took the bodies and dumped them in a nearby trash chute. He's pretty smart, I must say. He wore gloves and I knew it would be hard to prove that it was his doing. He went back to my apartment and unfortunately, my back was facing him as I tried to calm myself down by the kitchen. He bumped into me and the moment my ability cancelled out; he shot me out of reflex. My right torso was hit and since I was more eager to escape with my life than trying to reason out with him, I jumped on the balcony and activated my ability again.

He ran to the balcony and searched for the bushes and luckily, he wasn't able locate me. You don't know how much I'm thanking my powers right now. When he left the balcony, I ran and ran, going nowhere in particular. I just wanted to get away, far from him.

I have no idea what happened after I left and I really don't want to think about it right now. I'm currently bleeding, hiding in a bush at the city park. I was starting to lose consciousness. Heat and pain were overcoming my whole body. I was trying to remain awake because I might not wake up if I closed my eyes. I could feel the blood gushing from my gun wound. My whole body was beginning to get numb as I can't feel my any part of my body. My head was spinning as I put pressure on my wound. I tried to cry for help but my voice was too coarse and I can't utter words properly. My throat felt so dry; I don't think calling for help would be effective.

Even though I was half conscious, I heard a couple of voices getting louder and louder. It seemed like they were walking by the path and getting closer to where I am. I dragged myself out of the bush, hoping that they will help me. I don't care whoever they were, I just want to be saved!

As I was about to lose consciousness, I saw the two males running towards me, trying to help me up. They both widened their eyes as they saw me and I started to gently close my eyes. I haven't completely lost consciousness, though. I could hear a bit of their conversation after finally giving in to the darkness.

"….that….Tsu…?"

"Yeah, … her!"
