« It has been two years since I get rid of that nightmare..and now that I get my life back and found a job , I'm capable of doing anything I want..I'm not chained anymore.. » Ayane said as she closed her blue eyes in relief…that relief that she appreciated for some time now, sleeping in her princess room…it had passed midnight when her phone start Ringing, she moved herself lazily to pick it up « hello... » she said with her sleepy voice

« Hello... Ayane » he said with a monotone voice

« who is that... ! »Ayane replied with her eyes closed..

« There's no point on asking, who do you think am I? My Ayane.. » he answered

she hung up on him, « boring people .. » she said that and let the phone go of her hand

The phone rang again, while he was getting closer to her in the shadows of the night in the city.

she picked up again, « what do u want man..go to sleep..it's late.. » she said to whoever was calling her at this hour with an annoyed tone

« The thing I want is you, like in the past, don't you dare on hanging again if you appreciate your friend's life next door, Ayane.. » that person said

« what.. ! » Ayane's mind spoke in shock and sat on her bed with a fast move,« Rin.. » she said almost like a whisper

« Rin as you said, it has been some time, you really knew how to escape from me..didn't you.. »

« what do you want... how did you get my number…. » she said still shocked ,

« ..As always you don't listen to me, I said I want you back..oh..and about your question, it was someone near to you and your friends.. » he said with his usual voice

« ..Kage... »she whispered ; who else could it be …Kage was the only one that neither her nor her friends trust at all

« ...I'm not coming back to you just leave me be once... » she shouted and she hang up the phone

And now she running to Reiji's room to tell him but she was pulled by someone to a room before she get there

in a second he was in front of her ,« You really thought I will let you free?.. » Rin said looking at her eyes as cornered against the wall,

« don't dare on screaming if you don't want this place to end up in uncountable pieces, as same as your friends » he said getting closer to her..

she kept looking at him..his voice was cold.. just like always… nothing changed….« ..how did you find me...how did you find out about my friends.. » she spoke finally,

« ok, you already said the name of the one that brought me to your place, about them ….. » he said and moved his hand to her neck, « some of the members are interested on them.. »

« ..NO..just leave them alone.. » she said , she was so scared that he will hurt Reiji..why ..cause he didn't know anything at all..he didn't know the truth..he didn't know what Ayane was to the killer of his family…

« ..then tell me, what would you do for them?... » he said..sure she looked pretty when she get scared..

« anything you want just don't hurt them.. » she said not even looking at him..she looked at her side..the place she was in right now was much darker than his silky black hair

« ..then you are coming back with me.. » he whispered in her ear..she moved her hand to touch the wall .. and looked at him,

«… but how can i be sure you won't hurt them after I come with you.. ! » she said..sure she didn't trust him at all and she had her reasons though

« you have no other choice... » he answered…

« ..I can't leave everything have here just to come with you ..bastard.. » she almost shouted

..he smiled.. « the "bastard" you belong to » he said looked at her eyes with a side evil smile his blue eyes were full with pure evil

« then, I think I would let Nowaki do as he wants with them… » he added and put his hand on his pocket to pick up his phone

All the sudden Ayane pushed him and shouted « ...I hate you... »..and start beating his chest ..« ... hate you..hate you... » she kept shouting…..and like hell he will be effected by her small hands

he took her hands and slammed them on the wall beside her head

« I love you, you are mine… » he said with a smile, he knew where was hegoing with his words…

« ..let me go….. » she said struggling to free her hands

« I said ...let me go…. » she repeated

« why?... » he asked like nothing

« ..I don't want to you to touch me.. » she said with sharp eyes looking at him

« is it the truth ?» he said moving one hand to her blue silky hair,

« a new haircutand contact lensescan deceive anyone but not me.. » he thought smiling

she said with a confusing voice « ..yea ….. » and tried to move backward but she couldn't..she was already pinned against that cursed wall,

he laughed.. « then, what is that lack of security in your voice? …Ayane.. » he said her name with a straight voice and nasty smile on his face

« .I...I... » she lost words this time..what a great timing..

« ..talk..say something..why can't I say anything.. » she thought

« tell me the truth what's in your heart, Ayane » he said with a hypnotizing voice and his eyes color changed to blue all the sudden , Ayane looked at them « no…. » that was all what she thought about when the light in her eyes disappeared

« ... I still love you but you ruined my life I can't forgive you for what you did to me.. » the girl heard herself when she said those words,

« ...you bastard...how did you make me say that... » she shouted and pushed him…he backed off a bit

« who knows.. » he said looking at her and laughed again

« it was just the truth that wanted to come out of you ..

just your true feelings.. » he said with the same damn smile

suddenly they heard a voice Reiji's voice

« ..Ayane…is that you... ! » he said

Ayane looked at Rin ready to scream Reiji's name

« I will be benevolent this time and let you answer this, just because of you confession… but listen carefully, I will stay in this hotel in your room and dare on telling him a word, and I will turn the place into ashes… » he said and let her go…

As Reiji didn't hear an answer he closed the door of his room, she knew he will go out again dressed up and come to her room , she ran to her room and get in closing the door but Rin was behind her already..he looked at him and frowned , instead he was smiling to her

« Ayane .. » Reiji said knocking on her door

she opened the door slightly for him

« ..yea.. » she answered like nothing, « ...are you talking to someone..? » Reiji said, « ..no, I was just singing..hhh.. » she said and laughed scratching her hair , « oh..I thought you….never mind….good night.. »he said and turned to walk to his room again ;

« ..good night….ah ...Reiji…. » she said , « ...yea.. » he said turning to her again « ..nothing …good night.. » she said and closed the door again , of course Rin was sitting on the coach waiting for her

« ..what now..you want me to be with you..here I am... » she said,

he stretched his hand towards her « I want you to be with me like in the past, don't you want that too?.. » he said

« ..we will never be like we were ever again.. » she said

« you said you love me, isn't that enough?... » he said back

« ..but I said also that i can't forgive you for what you did to me, so I will take off this heart and throw it away just to kill you... » she said and ran toward him and startedattacking him

« It's a waste of time .. »he dodged her attack easily and said « but, as you wish, you started it .. »he showed his phone and she saw the name of Nowaki, he was calling him

« ..no.. » she thought, « ...Stop.. » she shouted at him

« too late my little Mizuki, you made a wrong move »he said smiling, then the voice of Nowaki was heard in the phone "leader?..."

« ..stop..please..I will do everything you want..just stop please.. »she said

« Is that so? » he said ignoring the phone

« ..yes ..anything.. » she answered

he smiled and brought the phone to his ear

« Nowaki, execute the plan… »he said looking at her eyes

« no…no… » Ayane's mind was screaming

she start shouting « ..why did you do that ..I was ready to do anything to stop you from hurting my friends..why..?... »

« Why… You ran away from me... for how much time? Tell me, what would you do if something happen to them? You can't do a thing againstme…. » he said with empty voice

she fall on her knees on the floor crying « ..please..please don't hurt them… please... » she said

he took a step toward her.. « Tell me, what if I say I won't hurt them?... » he said smiling

« ..I will do anything.. ..just don't hurt them... » she said still crying looking at him

He kept smiling, « then I suppose it's a deal Ayane * he said coming closer to her and knelt « right?.. » he added

« ..yes it's deal.. » she answered

« Ok, I hope you remember this..oh you know..we will have a party.. » he said and stood up

« …And your friends are part of it … » he added smiling to her

« ..what kind of party...why do you want to get my friends to it... »she said to him

« come on don't worry, I won't hurt them, if you kept your promise… » he looked at her serious

« ..what are you planning to do with them.. »..she said

« I want to see why you chose them to be your beloved friends… » he said

« see if they are with you 'cause you are a friend to them..or more.. » he said and out of the blue gave her a kiss , and stayed in front of her waiting for her reaction, still smiling and looking straight into her eyes..

she was taking aback by his action « ..what ...! » she thought in surprise

and said angrily « ...you...why did you do that ... » wiping her lips

« ..god I hate you.. » she added standing up and started walking to the bathroom

« why not.. ?.. » He said and stood up laughing, all the sudden the door of her room was open and Nowaki showed up « Hey leader…! » he said and looked at her after greeting Rin

Ayane froze « what the heck…. » that was the only words she could thought about ,she stopped looking at him and then at. Rin..its like she was asking him.. now what...

Rin giggled « you know Ayane, he really wants to meet your Dai friend again »

« ..what….no….he...» she was shocked, confused, scared

« Ohh leader So you considered to let him be part of the night herons?... » Nowaki said excited

« What do you think Ayane? » Rin asked her

« ..No...No.. ...just leave them alone.. » she shouted at Nowaki « ...and you.. » she said turning to Rin.. « how can you even consider something like that... » she added angrily

« It is Nowaki's idea, he said remind him with Shi »he answered… « ..and why not? It's not like I'm going to hurt him… right !..» he added with a side smile

« ..no..forget it..I will be one of you night herons, just leave them alone.. » she shouted

suddenly they heard a knock on the door

« ..Ayane….. ! » he was Reiji again

Ayane looked at Nowaki and Rin with a shock face..what will she do now.. what will happen ..was it Reiji's end….
