"WHAT THE FUCK!" Gokudera suddenly stands up. "I'm gonna find that dumbass right this fucking second and kick his pervo ass!"

"No you are not! Wait until I have a camera and can film it."

Phoenix grins mischievously as she pulls Gokudera back down on the couch.

"Oh come on, I don't have time for that! I'd rather just kick he sorry ass now!"

"But if I film it, it would be something we can watch when we're old and laugh about. You know you'd love that."

Gokudera looks at his red-haired girlfriend as he thinks about this idea.

"Fine. But only because you want me to."

"Thank you Darling."

Gokudera smirks.

"Again with the darling? It's so...awkward." The silver-haired teen pecks Phoenix's cheek. "I love it."

Phoenix shrugs with a smile.

"What can I say, I'm old fashion."

Gokudera laughs.

"I can see that." He bites his lips before saying. "I love you baby."

Hayato blushes profusely, thinking "Shit, I was definitely trying too hard. That sounded awkward as fuck.", but Phoenix's face lights up and she quickly wraps her arms around his torso. The Italian teen's eyes widen.

"D-Did you really like that? I thought maybe I tried too hard..."

"I told you I love it when you call me that."

The Irish girl says as she pulls back and gives her Italian boyfriend a quick kiss. Gokudera leans into the kiss and smirks.

"Well then, if that's the response I get, I might say it all the time."

"Well don't over use it! Just...use it more."

"Heh, I'll try." Phoenix presses her lips to his once again and he responds back with a vigorous and needy kiss. "I'll definitely try more."

"Well Darling, I wish I could say that's all I ask for, but I would be lying."

Phoenix wraps her legs around Gokudera waist and pulls herself closer to him. Hayato grins at her clear intentions.

"That's fine by me."

The younger teen kisses his older lovers pail neck gently before tracing the scar that runs horizontally across her neck with his tongue. The blue-eyed girl throws her head back and moans.

"You, me, bedroom. NOW!"

Gokudera grabs her hips and supports her.

"But the couch is just as fine. I'm not very..." He pecks Phoenix's lips. "...patient right now."

"Well..." Phoenix kisses him back. "neither," her lips contact his again, "am," their lips interlock once more. "I. But you seem to forget the cameras."

"Tch. Fucking cameras."

Gokudera sighs and picks Phoenix up, making his way up the stairs and to the bedroom.

"Shut up and kiss me."

Phoenix pulls Gokudera's shirt from his body as the teen kicks the door shut.

Although neither of the teens know it, at the same time they are making love Reaper is preparing to work out a new deal on their behalf. Ever since Phoenix had called him 'Ces' Reaper had been thinking back on his and Phoenix's past, and that seemed to be pulling the person he used to be to the surface.

"He will never agree to this. The Boss want's Phoenix to be punished. And she deserves it, she betrayed the Family."

The Hispanic man thinks as he waits for his Boss to call him into his office.

"That's bull and you know it." A voice in the back of Reapers mind says. This voice has a Mexican accent and a very rough way of speaking, just the way Reaper used to. "Come on! The Kid's our hermana menor! You're just gonna give her up to that bastardo? That psicópata?"

"Hey! That man is our Boss and a great man. A noble man."

"A man who cut off four of our toes before you joined him! Come on! And you're perfectly okay with just handing over the Kid to him! You saw what torturing that hombre did to her!"

"Well she got better didn't she."

"She might not next time. Then what? Hm? What if the Kid goes insane? Or what if it kill her?"

"She won't die."

"The last time she did this she did! She killed herself! Are you really okay with letting her die!"

"Of course not..."

"Then you better make this nuevo acuerdo work. Otherwise the Kid's gonna die. De un modo u otro."

The voice receded back into Reapers mind as the Boss of the O-Loughlin family steps out. Declan O-Loughlin, the third boss of the family, is a tall man with deep blue eyes and raven hair. The man comes off friendly enough but Reaper knows not to cross him, so the Hispanic man bows.

"Reaper! What a pleasant surprise. Tell me, how is out dear Little Phoenix doing?"

Declan speaks with an Irish accent.

"She is...well not fine Sir, but she is also not unwell."

Declan looks confused as he ushers Reaper into his office.

"What do you mean my friend?"

"Do you remember that I convinced her to take up torturing again?"

"Yes."

"The effort of torturing one man left her broken..."

"Ah! So I guess we'll have to kill her anyway. Such a shame."

"Well...maybe not Sir. You see, it appears that Hayato Gokudera was able to...fix her."

"So she is functional again?"

"Yes but I worry..."

"Yes Reaper?"

"I worry that if we continue to press her in to torturing people then she will be broken permanently. And of no use to you."

"Ah, and why do you think that? You of all people know how strong she is."

"I would say 'was'. Ever since Phoenix met Hayato Gokudera her strength of will has lessened. I think that while torturing would break her, the real problem lives in Gokudera's reaction to it. That is what will affect her in the long run."

"So you should separate them. Placing them in the same living space was foolish to start with."

"Well you see Sir, placing them in the same living space meant that they had to see each other after the tortures and other experiments. And even if I did give them separate living spaces they would undoubtedly just stay in one of them."

"Then place them on separate floors with guards on the doors and elevator."

"They would fight it and might even get themselves killed in their attempts to get back to each other. They have become quite...comfortable with each other."

Declan looks at Reaper, a smile on his face.

"Have they now?"

"Yes Sir."

"Well then...I think we shouldn't endanger their 'love'."

"Of course not Sir. But...what did you have in mind?"

"What is the one thing that Phoenix loathes about her job?"

"The research Sir. That's why she allowed Robin on her team, so that he would do it for her."

"Exactly. We put her on research. Make her find all the week spots and everything we can use and then once you're finished with that particular person, you send Phoenix a picture of the finished project. It would be the perfect duel torture."

"Excuse me Sir...but I do not see how this would affect Hayato Gokudera."

"If he is as much in love with Phoenix as you seem to think he is, watching Phoenix suffer due to the after effects of her research will be a torture in itself."

"Ah. Very good Sir. Once again you prove how much smarter than the rest of us you are."

"Yes, yes. Thank you Reaper. You may go." Reaper bows and makes to leave the room But Declan stops him. "Oh and Reaper. Make sure you take a gun with you when you tell Phoenix the good news."
