"N-Nao-kun…" I stuttered. Blood dripped from Nao's head onto the floor. He held his head and glared at the waiter. His arm was out in front of me, making sure the waiter won't charge at me.

"What a servant… Your Master is not going to come back for a while anyways…" The waiter laughed.

"What did you do to Yuma-sama!" Nao snapped.

"Talking back to me?" The waiter grabbed Nao by his throat, "you should know better!"

"Nao-kun!" I grabbed a knife on the table. I have to help him! Yuma-kun… where are you?

"Shion-sama, you mustn't do it! I can't allow you to dirty your hands!" Nao grabbed the waiter's wrist, "forgive me, for I must protect Shion-sama…"

"Wha-!" The waiter tried pulling away only to be pushed onto the ground with his hands behind his back.

"Where are you holding Yuma-sama?" Nao held a knife up to the waiter's neck, slowly cutting into it.

"I-I don't know! They took him- somewhere…. I don't know!" The waiter exclaimed. The restaurant was filled with chatter. Nao stood up and took my hand.

He helped me up and led me towards the exit, "we're going home, Shion-sama." He picked me up and ran out and down to the parking lot. He quickly ran to the car and pulled the door open, sitting me down inside, "don't be scared."

He sat himself in the driver's seat. "I must get to Yuma quick…" he mumbled. He stepped on the gas. We speed down the road and soon arrived at a house. He quickly got out and opened the door for me, Shion-sama, hurry inside…" He took my hand and walked me into an apartment, "please wait here until I come back. Do not go outside no matter what. If you can, please refrain from making too much noise as well. I am terribly sorry… for asking this much, but please, for your safety, listen to my requests."

"I understand… but Nao-kun… your eye is…" I touched Nao's face.

He took my hand and kissed it, "this is nothing. As long as you and Yuma-sama are fine, it doesn't bother me whatsoever."

"It should still matter then…" I murmured.

"Shion-sama? Are you hurt?" Nao panicked and checked my body for any injuries.

"My body is fine, but my mind isn't… Before you leave… let me treat your wounds," I pleaded.

Nao glanced at the clock, "I hope for you to forgive me, for that is a request I can't fulfill…"

"Nao-kun…" I frowned.

"Please wait here… I will return with Yuma-sama soon," Nao headed for the door.

"Then please… promise me that you will return," I asked.

Nao paused and took a deep breath, then turned to me with a smile on his face, "I promise!"

With that he left, locking the door tightly. I stood in the middle of the hallway, silently staring at the door. I laughed to myself, "you shouldn't have promised me that…" I walked over to the couch and sat down. Are they going to be okay? I shook my head, "of course they are!" I stood up again and pulled the window curtains closed. I should close the others too… I walked into all the rooms and closed the windows and curtains.

"Last room," I grabbed the door knob. I froze, "this feeling…" A shiver ran down my spine. I slowly backed away from the door, "my whole body… is shaking…" I took a deep breath to calm down. I guess… I shouldn't go into that room. I gulped at looked at the door, just what is in there… I walked into the kitchen and grabbed a glass of water, "when will they be back?"

After finishing the glass, I walked to the bedroom and laid down. Is this Nao-kun's house? I thought he would be living in the laboratory. Yuma-kun did tell me how people working there are not allowed to go out at all. Is it that Yuma-kun trusts Nao-kun? I closed my eyes, please be safe…

'When I open my eyes, I will see both of them in front of me, smiling,' is what I dreamed, but when I actually opened my eyes, something completely different stood in front of me.
