Oh, this chapter has a bit of gore, so this is only a fair warning!

~~~~~~~~~~ Previously on Hidden Eyes ~~~~~~~~~~

Allen thought he saw something glowing on Mukuro's face, where his blindfold would be. However, Mukuro turned around to settle into his own bed before Allen can confirm what he saw. Allen closes his eyes, waiting for sleep to kick in, before he ends up blushing a bit. Mukuro said my name for the first time. He smiles a bit before drifting into sleep.

Mukuro, on the other hand, tries to place a hand over his blindfold only for the spell to repel it back. He grunted a bit from the shock and sighs quietly. This blindfold is getting aggravating...I never thought I would want to see so badly...especially seeing the faces of people I am talking to… He listens to the distant Infected shrieks and Allen's quiet breathing nearby before lying still on the bed for the night.

~~~~~~~~~~ And Now It Continues ~~~~~~~~~~

Allen sees Mukuro hovering over him, his blue hair cascading down to gently brush against Allen's skin. Allen takes in a sharp breath when he sees Mukuro lean in closer until Allen can feel his cool breath tickling his face. I must be dreaming… If so, then I don't want to wake up yet. Allen musters up some courage and tilts his head up to press his lips against Mukuro's. Allen senses Mukuro's hesitance, but Allen only puts more pressure into the kiss as he closes his eyes. It takes a while before Mukuro responds and kisses him more deeply. Allen moans quietly, enjoying the feel and taste of Mukuro's soft cold lips. This kiss almost feels…real. He hears Mukuro's deep chuckle very clearly and slowly opens his eyes.

Allen's vision is still blurry after waking up, but as soon as his vision cleared, Allen's eyes grow wide. It was not a dream after all, as he sees Mukuro hovering over him, kissing him deeply. Allen remains stoic until Mukuro pulls his lips away from him with a soft pop.

"Well, that is one way to wake you up~ I would not mind doing that every morning, to be honest…"

"W-Wha…how…why…I-I…" Allen is speechless. He actually kissed Mukuro and Mukuro liked it!

"I was trying to wake you up since I sensed it was morning time. I was going to shake you a bit to wake you up, but you suddenly lifted your head up to kiss me. I have to say that I am flattered for the fact that you want my touch so badly…even in your sleep~"

Allen is speechless and blushing beet-red. Oh, I can't look at him the same way again...but he's such a good kisser…

Mukuro, on the other hand, is conflicted with his feelings. I was eager to abandon this world after I've done my job. I still despise humans…and yet I'm starting to have my doubts when I'm with this boy…I wonder why…

"Allen? We should get up and make some progress for our mission."

"O-Oh, right!"

Mukuro steps away from him and Allen gets up quickly to get dressed into his disguise. Allen glances over at Mukuro and notices the wrinkles in his clothes.

"You never changed out of your clothes?"

"I would not want to misplace my clothes due to my…current circumstances."

"Ah, right. Well, if you want, I can strip you down at night and dress you in the morning."

Allen almost face-palms himself after he just said that. I sound like a total pervert by night and mother by day. When he looks up at Mukuro, he can see a small smile on his face.

"Well, that would be very helpful of you. Thank you."

Allen takes a moment for his words to sink in and then blushes a bit. Oh, don't do this to me, Mukuro. My hormones are already raging. Both he and Mukuro get themselves properly disguised and eat their breakfast that they packed beforehand and then head out to start gathering information for their mission.

Allen can only grimace at the visual around him. The sky is a dull gray and the air is heavy with dust with the scent of rotting flesh and blood. Across them, a small family of a mother, father, and two children are crouched over a rotting corpse of a homeless woman. They are digging their hands into the decaying flesh and shoving chunks of blood-red human flesh into their own mouths ravenously. They glare at Allen and Mukuro, protective of their meal, before they resume their eating. Allen is getting queasy until he feels Mukuro's arm wrapping around him and pulling him close to his side. Allen looks up at Mukuro with a bit of confusion. Is he…trying to reassure me?

Allen breathes slowly and deeply, regardless of the horrifying stench, to calm down and keep walking. Far ahead of them, three middle-aged women are dragging a struggling man in his 30's into a dark alley with perverted grins on their faces. The man seems to be begging to be freed as the women rip off his clothes and then their own as they disappear in the alley. Allen quickens his pace with the urge to go save the man until Mukuro pulls him back. Allen wants to protest, but the stern frown on Mukuro's face stops him from saying anything. Allen remains silent and regretfully passes the alley, hearing the cackling laughter of the women and the quiet sobs of the man.

They continue walking down the street, where an elderly couple is slowly walking past them. They hear the elderly man cough violently behind them and suddenly a loud thud onto the ground. Allen turns around to look and sees that the old man has collapsed onto the ground, no longer moving. The old woman is crouching over him and desperately trying to wake him up with shock and worry on her face. Mukuro senses a group of people running towards them and pulls Allen with him to take cover in an alleyway. Allen gasps in surprise only to see a group of people of all ages run towards the fallen old man. The old woman is shoved aside and cries out in horror when she sees and hears them tear off her husband's clothes and dig their teeth into his flesh violently.

Allen could not turn his head away and stays frozen still. The Ziva corrupts their citizens into becoming animals, but I did not think that seeing this for myself would hit me so hard…how can I stay here for one whole week?! How am I supposed to perform my mission if I have to see this every day?!

Mukuro senses Allen's body tensing and hear his breathing as short shaky breaths. Mukuro can hear what is going on, but the sight is probably too much for Allen together. Without any reason, he pulls Allen to his chest and hugs him tightly. Mukuro tilts his head down and presses his lips against Allen's forehead. I can feel the boy shivering…its hurts me to witness him like this and I don't really know why… Mukuro is starting to question how much he cares for the boy as he waits until Allen relaxes in his arms.

The whole week had been too slow to pass by for Allen. The next six days had been the same as the first day. Allen would never think that the citizens of the city were far crueler than the Infected if he had not gone on this mission. Yesterday, however, reminded him of why he was here in the first place.

Last night, a siren blared and echoed throughout the entire city. From what Allen and Mukuro learned, the siren only goes off when there is an Infected invasion. Mukuro and Allen were able to barricade their apartment and were waiting for everything to calm down. Allen peeked out the window after they both heard helpless cries and running footsteps. The Infected were climbing over the walls with ease and were chasing after the civilians. The civilians were running towards the center of town, where the Ziva headquarters stood. Some of them managed to get in for safety but seconds later, the doors slammed shut to leave the rest of the people out who were too slow, sickly, or old to make it on time. Allen saw the people trapped outside banging on the doors, begging to be saved as the Infected got closer and closer to them.

What caused Allen's face to pale was the sight of a mother sobbing as she held her newborn child close to her chest in the last moments of her life. Then the Infected jumped at the crowd. Tears were threatening to flow through as Allen could only watch as the Infected tore the victims apart and ate them mercilessly while hearing the gargled blood-curdling cries of the civilians. Not long after that, he saw armored Ziva officials marching through and knocking out the Infected with tranquilizer darts before dropping their limp bodies into cages. Afterwards, several cleaners came out and tossed the bloody remains of the victims carelessly onto the streets. They washed and scrubbed the blood off the ground near the doors before heading back inside.

Allen and Mukuro had figured out through sneaking and listening to the murmurs of the civilians that the Ziva are bringing people into their city to attract the Infected. The Infected are tranquilized and brought into the Ziva headquarters. Allen is still unsure on how the process works, but he has enough information to confirm that the Ziva want to use the captured Infected to make a monstrous army to eliminate all rebelling forces and invade the Northern District, the only place that is a safe haven for survivors and also the only region that the virus had not infected yet. With this new information, Allen and Mukuro can return back to the organization to report to Komui.

At the moment, Allen is once again in Mukuro's arms. He had a small mental breakdown after witnessing last night's terrible event. Throughout this week, Mukuro has been quite caring in his actions and, while he usually does not say a word, always tries to make Allen feel better. Allen is very touched by Mukuro's actions. I wonder if he has feelings for me… I don't know if he does. I suppose that he's only doing this to make sure that I don't lose my mind… Allen feels a little sad when he concludes his thoughts. I know I'm very attracted to him, but I can't let my hormones control my feelings. Do I actually care for him? Do I actually like Mukuro? Allen's thoughts got interrupted as Mukuro tilts his chin up and Allen gazes up at Mukuro's face.

"Are you feeling better…?"

Allen remains silent and kisses his lips gently before he could stop himself. He feels Mukuro flinch in surprise but does not pull away from him. Allen feels his heart jump a bit with relief and kisses him deeply. Mukuro responds to his kiss by sucking on his lower lip. Allen barely holds back his moan and hesitantly runs his tongue against his lips. Mukuro has his hand grip the back of Allen's head and parts his mouth to welcome his tongue and dance with his own. Allen is lost in the French kiss and remains in his arms until he has the need to breathe. Reluctantly, he pulls his lips away to take in a deep breath, a thin strand of saliva connecting their lips. Allen's face is heated as he licks his own lips and wipes Mukuro's lips clean.

Deep down, he knows what he is doing is wrong. He knows nothing about Mukuro's past or whether he is even human. He never thought of asking him, but since he sees how close they are now, he decides that now would be the best time to ask.

"I want to get to know you more."

"…What do you mean, Allen?"

Allen shivers a bit when he hears his own name from Mukuro's lips. Mukuro hugs him tighter, assuming that Allen is cold rather than aroused. Allen glances at the chains attached to Mukuro's wrists and lead out to the apartment's front door. He realizes at this point that only he could see the chain as no one else could see them and the chains seem to go on forever towards the direction of where he met Mukuro for the first time. He looks back up at Mukuro.

"I want to know about your past…I really want to know who you are."

"…"

"If you don't want to tell me, then I'll understand-"

"I will tell you."
