Well, unlike what was expected, it have been past afternoon and I'm not done yet. More like, it is becoming evening and I am still not done. Just how much of this work is left? It feels like as if Dans haven't been working at all..... "In the end he....

"Yeah, in the end he gave up." Looking again to the side, now I admit that he is a mind reader.
"I guess you're right...." I sighed deeply.
"Again with that deep hopeless sigh?"
"Well-" I was drawn back at my sentence when I realized how closer he is moving towards me,
"I guess you never learn, do you?" I wonder how much seductive he is. It felt weirder though.... "You can go home."
"I cannot, I still have a lot of work to get done with and-" He grabs my hand that I was holding the pen with and looks straight into my eyes.
"Go.Home." His dominant voice that he uses to command me lures me in. Just up you stupid heart, there is nothing to race about.
"But... you know..." and there comes the stupid me who is stuttering for I-don't-know-what reason.
"If you're tired," he gently squeezes my hand, "You can go home. I will finish it all for you."
"That is unfair if I did so and-"
"And who said I like playing it fair and right here?" He suddenly started caressing my hand, so I looked back at him to see him winking back at me.
   I flushed at his expression,  no wonder this man is a feminist. "And I'm not playing here either, but Dans was my responsibility so it is also a part of my job to clean after him."
   "But he ditched you didn't he?"
Thinking of it, he really did ditch me, but thinking of it alone makes my heart aches. But I am sure that there is a good reason he did so. He may be as stupid and idiotic as a child, but he is still Dans, the man I love.
"Yeah.. it's true, but...."
   "No buts here. You got no reason to care for someone like that. Besides......" He paused as he seemed to be pondering in deep thouhts, "or no, forget about it."
   "Besides?" It only got me even more curious since he wasn't the type to call off a sentence or a thought like that.
  "Ain't telling you~" For once, I felt that his playful tone seemed similar to Dans's..... or maybe is it my imagination?
   "Well, if you ain't telling me, then I will continue my work!" I spouted looking back the papers I'm holding as I shoved his hands away from mine. For a moment, I felt myself like Dan again, or morelike a child Danny who is always rebellious to know more.
   "I was just going to tell you that....." Without any warning, he held my chin pulling my head upwards and forcing me to face him as he looked me in the eye, "You have me here.... and you don't need any other man than me." And with that I felt a pair of lips locking with mine softly, but passionately that I almost entered his own world forgetting about my surroundings.
   After a few seconds, he retreated yet refusing to let go of my chin as well as I was left speechless. I evaded his gaze as I glanced to the side, but as dominant as this man is, he cupped my face in his hand making me look at him again, but he did not say anymore words, probably expecting me to be the one speaking next even though I was too startled to say anymore word. Hence, awkward silence invaded the atmosphere.
   "You do know that, right?" He broke this silence with his shimmering eyes scintillating in penchant. His balmy schmaltzy pure tone of His voice took over my heart as I found myself the next second nodding in agreement.
   "I know that. But it aches my heart remembering him....." I tried my best straining a smile on my face as I peered at him, "Yet your love is honestly a medicine for the pain in my heart." Saying this has left him in utter shock. Well indeed, something like that was not expected from me, but this is the truth, he is offering me his care, so it is my duty to do the same towards him. I wrapped my arms around him hugging him tightly. "So I like you. I like it that you give your warmth and care to me. I like it tha-"
   He instantaneously swaddled his arms around me pulling me into an embrace.
.
"It's..... enough....."
.
His cracking voice was enough to set my bleeding heart on a journey of pain. His words has eaten my heart out the instant I came to awareness that the man currently holding me is tearing up in front of me. It was the last thing I imagined to happen.... I never expected him to..... cry. How delicate, how serene. I held him tighter, I did not want to let go..... "Shin....." I felt so sad that even I was about to cry.
   "Please come to me.... embrace my tears...." He sobbed, he started weeping like a child who lost something precious to him, "Hearing your words are enough to make my heart beat....."
   At the next moment, I felt tears falling from my own eyes, "Then let me guide you down into my soul as well....." I placed my head on his shoulder as I started crying as well.
.

.
After about an hour of wailing, we both sat beside each other with no more words to be exchanged.
"Midori."
"Yeah?"
"Allow me to finish your work for you, it is already has gotten late. You should go home safely."
I faced him, "Are you sure?" I knew that he will end up making me leave, but I don't know what method to use in order to show this man some gratitude. I should just confirm or I'll end up feeling bad about it.
   "Of course I am. I care about your well being." And now thanks God that he went back to his ebullient easy-going attitude. "If you'd like to stay a bit longer and allow me to escort you then."
   "Its okay." I smiled back, "There is no need, you have already helped me alot."
   "Its my pleasure." I grabbed my bag as I waved to him as I went out of the staffroom.
.
On my way, I noticed how much dark it has gotten. Taking a look at my wrist watch, I was surprised to see it 7:23 pm. No wonder why he wanted to send me back home that badly. How manly he is.
   Arriving home, I searched in my bag for my keys. I hope I did not forget them or else I won't be able to ent-...... Enter? Looking at the door, it was indeed unlatch. It was enough to make me hesitate to step in the house. Who is in? I could not do anything other than panicking. Should I enter? Or is it bets if I went back to Shin? Looking back at the watch, I noticed that an hour has already passed. He probably finished all work and is on his way home by now. I grabbed the handle of my door which made me break out in cold sweat. I couldn't  stand this pace anymore as I made up my mind. I pulled the the door agape to be knocked with a six. The view was enough to strike terror into my eyes as I felt butterflies in my stomach followed by the sour taste of my gastric juice on my tongue which I couldn't hold it in any more; the horrible view was enough to turn my stomach . I crouched to the side and started vomiting.
   Regaining my balance again, I laid on the wall behind me trying to stand up with my eyes still widened in shock  and fear. I definitely  knew that someone is after me for no good. All the papers and documents were torn. Some of the vases I got from the neighbours were broken. And the others were..... stained in.... blood...? I reflexively placed a hand over my mouth to cover it. It took me a couple of minutes to distinguish the scent of the metallic blood used. Turning around, shivers were sent down my spine as my heart skipped a beat. I shrieked as I saw the walls behind me were written on by this bloody substance. As adrenalin rushed through my body, my blood ran cold: 'WHERE ARE YOU NOW, BLUE RAVEN?!!!' ....It was the last thing I saw before wincing in pain at the my throbbing head. It took me a moment to realize that I am laying on the ground with my consciousness slowly slipping away from me and my breath going slower and slower and......
