A kiss... A fucking kiss...

I was reserving that for (y/n)... And that bitch stole it.

Tch. I hate it. I hate her so much ! Ugh.

"Aaah."

Not to mention, Ellah was feeding Kuroshiro again. But it wasn't normal food... They were souls. Blue ones. Human ones.

"Good boy." Ella patted his head, making him give a wide grin. "Yay !"

...Doing everything she says. Like some... Slave.

I actually pity him. He doesn't even know he's doing this--he thinks it's right but it isn't. What would happen if he finally gets his memories back...? He'll regret it. He'll blame himself... Again.

And what am I doing ? Here. Tied up. Watching. Completely useless.

"...Save that last one." Ella stood, and took the soul, making Kuroshiro frown. "But I want more !"

"Later. I want to make a little offering." She patted his head, giving him no other choice but to nod and agree. Ella smiled, and kissed his head. "Get some rest first."

Kuroshiro smiled, and nodded, before standing up and going to his room. While... Well, we're left alone again. Damn it.

"...You wouldn't eat any food... So eat this." Ella said, placing the bright blue soul in front of my eyes. I quickly turned away, shaking my head. "Never."

Ella narrowed her eyes. "Eat it."

I felt my body stiffen. And start to move on its own... I turned my head back to her and started to open my mouth.

I can't.

If I do, I can't go back to her...

To (y/n).

So I gritted my teeth to stop whatever was controlling me. "...N-never..."

Ella made a wide smile. "Oh ? Well, you should. See, you're really strong, and I can use you... You're really powerful, and not to mention, you're handsome, too."

"F-fuck off-"

"Stop resisting. It tastes nice, I promise."

I can't. And I won't.

I only flashed her a grin, and kept my mouth as shut as I can. It hurts--having something prying it open... But I shouldn't let this pain rule me.

...I want to go back to (y/n) as a human.

"Oh. So tough. I have to admit, that's really attractive." She snickered, proceeding to shove it to my closed mouth. I forced myself to turn away, making my head and jaw hurt more...

"Come on, don't make this hard. If not, you'll taste something worse than this." She pouted.

"...I-I'm... Never... Eating that..." I said between my clenched teeth. "...O-over my... Dead body..."

"Aww !" She huffed. "Fine. You can just, not eat this." She proceeded to eat it instead, then gave a wide, creepy grin.

"But be my servant-fight off (y/n)-chan for me !"

I felt the force in my body stop, making me breathe in and out a bit faster than normal. "...I'd never... Choose you... Over her..." I grinned. Ella sighed. "Kuroshiro was more better than you..." She shrugged, before placing a hand under my chin. "Okay, fine. Just kiss me again."

"Don't even try." I spat in anger. "Why are you so desperate ? I'm loyal to my girlfriend--I love her. I'd never do anything to betray her even if it was my life in the line."

"...Tch." The sweet expression in her face disappeared, and was replaced by a scowl. "Loyalty... Love... Tch." She grumbled. I grinned. "Giving up ?"

"No." She made another wicked grin, before forcing herself on my lips again. I struggled, wanting this bitch away from me desperately.

I do not hit women no matter what bullshit they do, but this girl's an exception.

I raised my foot and kicked her chest, making her pull away as she stumbled back. She was in pain, obviously, since she was holding her chest with a pained expression.

"You gross bitch !" I snarled, struggling from my restraints. "Just wait, you. I'm going to punch you into tiny little powder pieces just for doing those gross things !"

"Tch..." She mumbled, but forced a smile. "...You struggle too much for a cute toy..." She glared, before closing up to me again. "Why can't you just stay still and let me do what I want ?! You're lucky I didn't turn you into a kishin like Kuroshiro back there."

"Bitch please !" I scoffed. "I'd happily choose to live a nightmare than choose you over (y/n) !" I snarled. I was getting tired of her stuff... It was annoying. And irritating.

"...Live a nightmare..." Ella paused, thinking for a bit, before giggling. "Is that so...? Okay then. Wish granted." She started humming, creating a shadow ball in her hands.

"...What are you planning to do now...?"

"You wouldn't want to be my servant. Or to just give in to desires." She shrugged. "I took you since I was interested in you--I thought you'd be smart enough to choose me. That would break her, too."

I glared, narrowing my eyes. "Well, you fail. Because I wouldn't do anything to break her heart. Not even betray."

"Yeesh, I know, I know." She glared. "So now, you're useless. You're boring. You see, loyal people are boring--I'm much more attractive than her ! Why don't you want me ?"

"Because she's much more kinder than you. And to me, that is attractive enough."

"...Tch." She sighed. "Well, fine. I'll kill her anyways." She made a grin. "And hey, I can't let you interfere."

Before I can even react, she slammed the shadow ball against my chest, forcing it in my body. I jerked forward and coughed, feeling it... What, dissolve ?

It was painful. Really painful.

"Kuroshiro-chan !"

Dots were dancing in my eyes--but I can still see her walking to his room.

...What is this...?

I started struggling in pain. It felt strange and painful.

"Yep ?"

"I... Have work... For you..."

I can't hear them clearly. Everything sounded like they're echoing...

"...What work ?"

"...Bring him---Kill---friends---(y/n)."

I am not sure what that meant... But I know for sure they're planning to kill them---I can't let them kill (y/n) and the others !

I did my best to keep my eyes open as I continued struggling. I have to escape... They're going to...

"...Why did you do that ?"

The scenery changed in front of my eyes. Now, I saw (y/n), talking to me with tears in her eyes.

"...(Y/n)...?" But I was in Ella's area earlier ! And I felt like I was going to faint, too...

I stopped struggling, and quickly ran to hug her. "(y/n) !"

"Get away from me !" She yelled, stepping back. It greatly confused me--did I do something...?

"W-what's wrong---"

"You were cheating on me---you were doing... S-stuff... W-with Tsubaki..."

...What ?

I don't understand.

What the actual fuck is this ?

[Kuroshiro]

"What is he saying ?" I asked as I carried the bluenette on my back. His eyes were wide open and... Well, he was mumbling random things. Like, this name, and other stuff...

"Ah, no. Ignore him. He's in his head." Ella giggled. "He was being really rude and bad. He didn't do what I want him to do--so there. That'd be his punishment."

"...Oh." I stared at him, observing as we walked. He looked really scared... I mean--his pupils were really little and he was shaking !

"...Where are we going, though ?" I blinked, looking at her as she left the small house. Ella sighed. "I told you already, right ? We're going back to Death City~! Look at my masterpiece on your back--that'll be the greatest revenge against the girl who hurt you ! (y/n), right ?"

I blinked, before feeling something snap inside me. (y/n)...

"...Yes."

"You see, she loves that boy. And if she sees him like that, she'll be really upset and depressed."

"...Mhmm."

I started seeing faces in my mind. The girl (y/n). Then this boy on my back... Then a girl called Maka, then one called Tsubaki, and sisters--Liz and Patty. Then this shinigami child called Death the Kid and this red-eyed boy called Soul...

"...Kuroshiro ?"

"...I'm seeing faces, Ella-chan..."

I can feel my blood boil because of it. But why ? I don't get it...

But I do know one thing. They're... Enemies. Bad people. They will hurt Ella.

"...You do ?" Ella blinked, before snickering. "...Oh... So Kuro's gone..."

"...Who's Kuro ?"

Ellah turned to me, before smiling and kissing my cheek. "Nah. No one."

I believed her of course. But somehow, I heard her whisper the word 'Sacrifice'.

What sacrifice, though ?
