Teru?
She heard a familiar voice, like a whisper.
Brother? Soichiro... what?But...how?
She turned around, only to realise she was in complete dark. Creepy and dark. Shiver went down her spine.
Be 'carefull please. Enemies from my past will come for you. You and Kurosaki. I can only warn you that they won't go easy on you.
Teru once again came to realisation that the voice was coming from nowhere, yet it was all around her. Yet it was so familiar feeling to talk to this voice. A long forgotten feeling. She just started talking back on a reflex.
What do you mean by that. Would they kill someone? People I've met are not capable of doing that.
Hah...They are only sent to observe, and try to do something if they can. But they are not alone. Please be carefull 'cause something is bound to happen. Something big. And they don't hesitate if they need something. Right now, they need that virus to get into government system. And because they don't know where the virus is, the best option for them is to get it trough you. But more than that, they want revenge.
What? Tell me Soichiro, what will they do? And who is attacking? And where did you hide that virus?
But her answer didn't came. She stood there in silence, turning around herself and calling his name.
God, don't leave me. Brother, please!
As she stood there in complete dark, everything was more creepier with each passing moment.
Sou, I'm scared. Brother!
Then she heard a noise behind her. She turned around, as the noise became louder and louder. Then she noticed that she was standing in the muddy water. No. That was blood. She flinched and stared up in front of her. The noise became louder, sounding like a hundreds of thunders, hitting one after another. Teru started walking backwards, scared. She stared at the darkness, expecting. A moment passed in silence.
From the darkness, loud as thunder, jumped a herd of black horses. Their eyes bloody red, filled with madness and aiming at her, rode by something fully covered in a black robe.
In a matter of milliseconds, one of those in black reached for her with his green and bony hand, ready to crush her.
She screamed, shutting her eyes.

"Teru!" she heard a yell, that followed her scream as she flashed her eyes open.
Above her was Kurosaki that had a worried face on, and his palm on her shoulder. The light was dim, and it was coming from the nightstand beside him. His hand reached her cheek, and she jumped in his arms, her own around his neck. She was sitting in his lap, while he was shocked for a second, but noticed that she was shaking and holding on to him.
" Was it that bad nightmare?" He locked his arms around her tightly. She nodded with a sob.
" It's ok now. I'm here, okay?" He hushed her softly, leaning his lips against her neck. He rubbed her back gently for a bit, then lifted his head and kissed her temple
" It's okay now. It was only a dream" he reassured her, looking straight into her eyes. She only nodded and wiped her tears away.
" I was so scared. You saved me." she said, now calmed, as she leaned on his shoulder.
" Always." he chuckled "Wanna talk about it?"
She sighed, not knowing should she bother him like that, but started talking anyways.
" Soichiro told me...us, to be carefull" she sighed, then continued with a voice almost like a whisper "After a talk with him came the scary part. Bloody water, darkness, black horses. Something like death rode them. And one of those in black reached out for me with his death-like hand. Now I have a bad feeling about everything."
" Nothing bad will happen to you. I promise."
" I trust you." she smiled as she watch him turn around and reach to the water and her medicine, and give it to her.
" You would have to drink it in less than five minutes anyway. It's almost three thirty." he explained as she swallowed the pill.
" Thanks. And sorry for waking you up, you have to drive tomorrow" she smiled apologetically
" Idiot." he leaned with a smile and kissed her gently "Don't you dare apologize. You only scared me. You screamed and tossed around like death was right in front of you."
" Not far from truth though" she smiled ironically as she laid back down with a sigh. He laid beside her, kissed and cupped her cheek, running his thumb over her cheekbones.
" You're far too young for that. No death is gonna come near you anytime soon. At least, not while I am here."
She snuggled up to him, hugging him around his waist. She used his shoulder like a pillow, while he stroked her hair.
" I know."she murmured slowly dozing off "Thank you Tatsuku. Good night"
With that she fell asleep, not realizing that she called him by his first name. The man gazed down at the girl, smiled as he kissed her forehead, and fell asleep not long after that.

They were on a highway, on their way back home. Radio played some old rock songs, and they hummed to themselves. Teru was sitting comfortably, looking somewhere far in front of them, cars that passed or sky. It was around five o'clock, and they still had a couple of hours more till they get home. Then suddenly she had a smile plastered on her face, and she turned her head away and cupped her chin with her palm, leaning on it, trying to cover that.
" What?" but of course Kurosaki would notice "What's funny?"
" Oh...Nothing" Teru replied calmly
" No. Tell me." he looked at her, and smiled as he looked at the road again
" I just remembered something"
" Can I know?"
" An image of a certain person's face just flashed into my mind" she started "That blonde receptionist from the hotel. Just the way she looked when we walked out from there hand in hand."
" Huh? What face did she made?" Kurosaki was confused "And what's the big deal if we got out holding hands?"
" Well, she looked like she had just discovered eighth world wonder." she said looking at him, and then proudly continued "And besides that, I managed to get a grown up blonde jealous"
" And how did you do that?" He was now even more confused. He obviously had no idea what was Teru talking about.
" Well, you held my hand. Seemed like enough for her to go to see a specialist."
" I still don't quite get it."
" Wait. You didn't notice how you...well...became her daydream? Or even the looks that she gave you?" Teru stared at him confused.
" Um. No "he said after some thinking "She really looked at me? I didn't notice that. I had a girl to look at at that time" he smirked at Teru at the end. Then he yawned. Teru of course noticed that, and recalled that he had yawned a few times since they took off.
"He must be tired. I probably kept him awake last night" she thought to herself "We should stop so that he can rest".
" Kurosaki we should stop and rest for a while. You are tired.
" Ah, don't worry. I wanna drive, get home soon and then sleep.
"God you are so stubborn. Please, if we don't find any motel soon, let's leave the highway and park the car so that you can rest. Even if it's for an hour or two. Please Kurosaki."
" Yeah and what will you do?"
" I'll wait! I'll listen to music! Enjoy the privilege of getting to watch you sleeping! Whatever. I just don't want to watch you struggle to stay awake for next two and a half hours. And I assume it was because of me that you didn't get too much rest last night."
" Okay, I'll stop the car at the first road exit we see and..." he yawned again " why are you calling me Kurosaki?"
" Huh? " she looked at him with a rased brow "I always called you like that."
" Last night you didn't" he grinned not taking his eyes off from the road "And the night before. And I like it better when you call my first name."
" I did that?" Teru blushed and then stuttered "T-Tatsuku...kun?"
She couldn't recall anything. She barely remembered waking up, and her dream. Again, a sudden fear crept into her as Kurosaki saw the exit sing and turned right, heading towards a meadow.
" No. No honorifics." he briefly said, never looking at her. He looked around to find some empty meadow that he could park on, and not disturb anyone.
" Oh...Tatsuku?" she looked at him blushing. Then suddenly the car started to jounce, and Teru jumped up and down in her seat. That's when she noticed a beautiful meadow that Kurosaki wanted to park at. No signs of people around them, and you could only see the road somewhere behind them.
" Yes Teru?" he smiled at her, when he turned his car off.
" Sleep." she smiled at him, cupped his cheek and kissed him briefly. He simply sighed.
" You can turn the radio on if you want to. Wake me up in an hour." He placed himself comfortably on the seat.
" I'll just put my headphones on, and listen to my playlist. I might walk around or so." she said taking out her headphones.
" Don't go far. Don't risk." He said seriously as she opened the car door. She got out and stretched herself.
" I won't. Sleep now won't you?" she smiled, as she sat back down, her feet still on the blossomed ground. Kurosaki closed his eyes, and the girl started to untangle the headphones. That took a few minutes, as she did it slowly. When she was done, she took her bag that was under the seat and quietly searched for her cellphone.
She found it, flipped it open and tried to connect it with headphones. She let out a small gasp, when the phone fell out from her hands, and on the ground. It went under the car. She turned around to see if Kurosaki noticed anything, but only found that he was already asleep. She got on her knees, and looked under the car searching for her phone.

That's when she saw it, just near her phone there was a black a black box attached to the car. And the reason she noticed it was that it certainly didn't look like a car part. She looked at it curiously, and noticed that there was a small blinking light. She took her phone and got up. "Should I tell him? Maybe I'm just paranoid, but it could be a tracking device or something like that"
" Ta-Tatsuku" she whispered. He didn't move.
" Oy. Tatsuku" she got over her seat and poked his chest with her palm. "Maybe I shouldn't" she thought, but it was too late
" Yeah?" he murmured, not opening his eyes "What is it?"
" S-Sory for waking you up" she stuttered worried." But there is something under the car
" What?" he scoffed " A monster maybe? Aren't they usually under the bed?
" Not funny Tatsuku." she frowned, and the man opened his eyes slightly and looked at her" I'm serious. There is a black box attached to the car. With a blinking light.
Kurosaki opened his eyes fully, and got out from the car.
" Closer to this side." Teru said, getting out herself." It could be a tracking device or something.
Kurosaki got to her side and knelt, bending his head to look under the car. Teru gripped her phone, when Kurosaki didn't say anything
" Is everything ok?" she said as he got up
" It's not a fucking tracking device" he said grabbing her small bag that was under her seat. He turned around with a serious face
" It's a car bomb" With that he grabbed her hand and started running over the meadow, and towards the wood that was on the other side
" A what?" Teru yelled horrified, running after him and almost falling "You can't be serious"
" I wish"
They reached the woods, and car was pretty far. They sat down behind one tree, and Kurosaki pulled Teru on his lap. They huffed, tired, and after a moment an explosion was heard. Teru covered her ears and squirmed in his arms, while Kurosaki tightened his grip around the girl's head and back burrowing his head in her neck.

"Thank you for the ride Master" Teru bowed her head when they got out from his car.
" God, no problem. This is serious matter after all."
" But I still don't get it. If they wanted to get the virus, why kill me? Us?"
" Don't know Teru. None of us does. We only know they followed you down to Fukuoka, set the bomb yesterday while you were out, put the timer on, and probably planned that you would be in the car in twenty-four hours.
"Lets just hope Riko found out something about the people who did this." Kurosaki interrupted/
" Yeah. We'll know what to do then. You two get some sleep now, it's late. Be safe. I'll come by tomorrow noon when Riko comes.
As master took off they waved goodbye. They quietly walked into the apartment. Teru flopped on the couch and Kurosaki went to the kitchen
" I never thought we would come home again." the girl sighed
" I would never let that happen" he sat beside her putting a glass of water on the table.
" I..." she started whispering, and then her voice started to shake "I thought I would lose you half-way.
The tears finally started flowing down her cheeks, as the man wide-eyed took her by her shoulders and lifted her up in a hug.
" I can't leave you, can I?" he whispered, handing her the glass. She took a few gulps, and put it down. Her arms locked around his neck and she shook her head.
" You can't" she whispered.
He picked her up, and carried to his bedroom. He took his clothes of, laying only in his boxers, while she was only in her underwear and a shirt. They were soon dead asleep.

Geez...I'm starting to feel like...Idk...I went out of course maybe? I took too long for this to come? Chapters are getting unrelated?
Yes, Yes and Yes.
And guys...you not reviewing is really hard to bear! Please please please review...this now is a critical point. Should I continue...or erase this chapter, and leave the end as the last chapter. It was supposed to be a last one, but suddenly I wanted action.
And If you don't review, I automatically get that as an-THIS IS SHIT. and then I feel bad, and wish not to post or continue. And I didn't get almost any on the last chapter :(
