"Hi, I'm- oh." The girl's lips spread even further. Hide did NOT like that smile on her face.. "What do you want?"

"My, am I already sensing a guard, Hideyoshi-san? Do you really dislike me that much? I'm just a customer," she purred. Hide didn't let up. "I suppose it's true what they say-- you know a lot."

"What do you want."

"I'm sure you already know that, don't you, Hideyoshi-san? After all, I sent two messengers to catch you. I'm sure both you and Eyepatch were surprised," Eto chuckled. Hide glared.

"I decline.." Hide said, heart pounding.

"Aw, that's too bad.." Eto pouted, "Well, I might as well have some fun while I'm here.. You can do that, can't you, Hideyoshi-san?" Hide shuddered.

"I am NOT having sex with you."

"Last time I checked, you couldn't deny customers sex, Hideyoshi-san. What makes me so different?"

"That rule doesn't apply to people who may or may not kill you," Hide curtly replied.

Eto chuckled, "Touche. But I would never kill you, Hideyoshi-san-- that would be no fun! Yet, at least.."

"You're sick," Hide growled.

"I doubt I have as much on my hands that you do."

"That's because you make your pawns do everything. And in my rating scale, that only increases the dirt on your hands."

"Hmn. I suppose that's true."

"Now leave before I call the rest of us in here.."

"Oh, Hide, you and I both know you humans are no match for me."

"Me and Amon-san are good with our quinques. And the rest of the CDs aren't too shabby either."

"But still no match for me." Hide gritted his teeth together. "I'm sure you know what I'll do since you refuse.. right?"

"This is between you and me, Eto.."

"Now, Hide, you and I both know you would never come if all I threatened to do was kill you. You're just like your best friend-- you'll never do things for yourself, but you'll die to save your friends - or even a stranger! So? What is your decision NOW?"

"... D*mn it.."

"Is that a yes?" Eto's smile widened. Hide's head was bowed submissively. "Great! I'll see you later, Sun-kun."

Eto skipped out of the room.

Hide felt like he was going to puke.

------------------------------------------------------------

Hide stared at the building he was entering. It was abondoned.

Hide grumbled under his breath.

He really didn't want to do this..

Hide walked in, against his better judgement.

Good-bye, sweet life..

I'm sorry, Amon-san. I'm sorry, Serpant Bat. I'm sorry, fellow CDs.

And.. I'm sorry, Ken. I'm so sorry. For everything.
