Disclaimer: I disclaim

Okay so first of all, I just want to give a shoutout and thank Rusty14. You always leave comments and even make my day better. Thanks!

"Wasn't she just ranting about how much she hates you?" Natsu asks stupidly, staring at the now conscious Lyon with a sleeping Rin on his shoulder.

Lyon gently strokes Rin's hair, ignoring the question, eyeballing Nastu's shoulders. Erza and Lucy sleep soundly, Happy on his lap. Lyon looks at Rin. Her way of breathing when she sleeps is so CUTE! The way she breathes in slowly and lets it all out in one puff of breath. How adorable? He rests his chin againest her temple and breathes in. Her hair smells so sweet. I wonder what kind of shampoo she uses?

Rin eyebrow twitches in frusturation. She dares not to open her eyes. She can feel Lyon's arm slung are her. His tight muscles, firm, is wrapped around her waist. She is pulled into him and his chin rests on her. That idiot! Taking advantage of me in my sleep. I can never trust him. Not after... Well whatever! I can't believe that I fell asleep on him. She clenches her jaw. I guess I can let it slide just this one though...

Lyon takes her hand in his and gently rubs his thumb over the back of her hand. Huh? What are these? He asks himself, examing the back of her hand. Higher up, on her wrist concealed by her long sleeves were small, pale lines as if someone had wrapped her wrist in wire and cut the tender flesh open. She stiffens in his arms.

yon stRin can feel him examining her scars. Reflexively, she pulls away, an expression of horror on her face. "Um, I have to go," she tells a surprised Lyon, clutching her wrist and running off down the train. In the bathroom, she splashes her face with water cooling off her heated face.

When she opens the bathroom door, Lyon is waiting for her. She tries to ignore and pass by him, but he catches her wrist and quickly slides her sleeve up. "W-what are you d-doing?" she asks flustered. He grabs her other hand and pushes her other sleeve up. He examines her wrists, not saying a word, as she squirms. "Let go of me!"

"What are these from? he demands.

-F.L.A.S.H.B.A.C.K-

I coughed, breathing in the dusty air. I was forced to walk three days and nights. If I tripped, they would beat me with metal tipped switches until I managed to stand up again. My simple gown was dusty and bloody. My mouth dry and my stomach felt as if it was eating it's way out.

Soon, a tall, crescent shaped building came into view. I collapsed from exhaustion.

Days, weeks, months, years, soon a decade had passed.

A new girl came in and my experiment time halved, that is until they built a secondary labratory room. I would cover my ears, trying to shield the screams.

Soon, she went out of control, blowing up the building and I was free.

My wrists and ankles had been worn raw from hours of experimented a day for 10 years. The metal wires bit into my skin, grinding down to the bone.

-E.N.D._O.F._F.L.A.S.H.B.A.C.K-

Lyon stares hard into Rin's eyes until she cracks. Hot tears well up her eyes and she collapses into his arms. "I-if I trust you, you w-won't let me down. Will you?" she whsipers, clutching his chest.

He presses a light kiss to her forehead. "Never."
