I lose my senses and black out...


(His view)

I return home blood spattered on my clothes and Skyler comes to greet me and suddenly faints as she sees me. Oh shit, she saw me. I run to catch her before she hits the ground and I carry her to our room and lay her on the bed. I go have a shower and cover up my tracks. When she doesn't wake up in another 3 hours I start to worry. I take her to the hospital and wait in outside as the doctor examines her. He comes out and tells me he ran some yests and is waiting for the results, but she's okay now and just fainted due to high blood pressure. I breath out a sigh of relief and ask if I can see her. He agrees and I sit beside her holding her hand. She wakes up and says "Maddy, you won't believe the crazy dream I had." I calm her down and tell her to rest.

The doctor asks to see me again and I'm forced to leave her side.

"We got the test results and it seems she has some heart problems. It's not serious, as long as she keeps taking the prescribed medicines. Recently she hasn't been taking them frequently enough and any sudden shock could have been what triggered this today."

"Right, thank you. I'll make sure she keeps taking them." I say slightly worried.

"Yes, also I think it would be best for her to spend the night here. You can take her home tomorrow morning."

"Is it anything serious?"

"Not yet, but to take precautions." He says before leaving.


I visit Skyler one last time and return home to clean my clothes. I walk into the kitchen to grab a snack and see strawberries and cream left out on the counter. I pick up a strawberry and dip it into the cream before taking a bite. It's not that bad, but the cream should be whipped. I return the strawberries and cream to the fridge and decide to go bed. I lie in bed for a while facing the ceiling, my brain filled with thoughts.

The next day I collect Skyler from the hospital and she feels as cheery and happy as ever. She runs home and grabs some ice cream from the fridge and eats more than half the box. I can't help but comment on that. "If you keep eating your gonna get fat."

"I'll work it off, just let me eat in peace." She says sitting on the couch next to me.

"By the way you have to take these medicines so make sure you do." I say tossing her a box of pills.

"Ssh I'm watching. You know that's rude."

"Are you listening? This is more important than a tv show, especially for you."

"Yeah, okay. It's an advert. So it's the auctions tonight isn't it."

"Yeah."

"Do you think I'm crazy?"

"Why?"

"Because, I had this weird dream about you coming home in blood."

"What, no."

"Well then you want me to think I am?"

"Since when." I ask slightly confused.

"You and me both know I wasn't dreaming. So will you tell me the reason why?"

"I'm a hitman." I say expressionless. "Judging by your reaction, you either don't care for some stupid reason or my word haven't reached you yet because of your thick skull.

She doesn't say much more and I get a job I gotta handle so I go and tail someone. I make sure when I come home she doesn't notice me, after we go to the auction and I become the Mad hatter once more.


While Maddy's away I go out to meet the auction managers again. I tell them about him being a hitman as a part time job and they seem really surprised. "So I was right, he definately won't hesistate to kill you if he found out you double crossed him." Says Eisuke smirking.

"Whatever, at least I'll die happy knowing that I'm not your slave anymore." I say rolling my eyes.

"Seems like Skyler has a thing for the bad boys." Teases Ota.

"I do not, there's nothing going on between us."

"I never said there was, but now that you mention it." A smile plays on his lips.

"You guys are impossible." I say grabbing my things and leaving the bar.

"Okay, wait!" Says Baba grabbing my hand.

"What!"

"I just have one question." He asks pleading.

"Fine! Make it quick, I'm tired."

"Ooh, did things get hot and heavy with the mad hatter?"

"That's your question!" I ask, although it shouldn't have been a surprise to me. "Look, I'm tired and not in the mood to talk stupid with you I didn't get much sleep last night."

"You stayed up all night doing it with him. Nasty!" Says Ota teasing his hair.

"What! No, whats wrong with you, I was in hospital."

"You did in the hospital, now that's weird." Says Baba.

"What the hell is wrong with your brains." I say getting angry. "Do I need to spell it out for you?"

"Is he hottie under all that make up?" Asks Baba.

"See for yourself." I say pulling out my phone and showing them a picture of Maddy.

"Yeah I can totally see you two together." Says Ota.

"What! Actually no I don't wanna know. I'm out, yeah I'm so outta here." I say leaving the bar for good this time. I'm walking home when suddenly I see Maddy, looks like he's following someone. He catches sight of me and I'm about to turn round but he runs towards me. "I need you to be you to be my date tonight." He demands.

"That doesn't sound like asking, plus I don't wanna have anything to do with your other life."

"I'm not asking."

"Aww, you don't know any women who will date you, poor litte Maddy," I say sarcastically. "You know if you loose the whole hitman thing and scary guy act you'd probably be quite popular with women."

"If you don't go, I'll kill you."

"Okay, you won, I'm yours." I say returning to the apartment. We go to a fancy party and I just wait while Hikaru bumps off some rich guy. This is boring. Hikaru returns looking completely normal with now sign of saying I've just murdered someone hehehe. Well maybe when you put it like that it sounds stupid, but it sounded better before. We leave the party and go to the auction.


Dear diary, today has been a pretty crazy day I wonder what else god has in store for me. I really want to see my family again, I hope I get freed from this mission soon and I'll finally be happy.
