Time had passed since then.

Visco now come often to take on matters Nana is to lazy to personally deal with herself.

Visco opens her room door without asking. He was already that comfortable and accepted as a presence there. " Nana ? "

Shadow Demon came from behind " not in her room."

Visco; her loyal bodyguard. Where is she then ?

Shadow Demon: unable to divulge.

Visco ; you know my relationship with her right ? One day, I may be even your master.

Shadow Demon: that day hasn't come. I am unable to tell

Visco : you... Hmph. Always wearing that mask. I wonder what's underneath

Shadow Demon: not for you to worry.

Visco: I can easily ask her to make you remove the mask for me.

Nana returned back home " visco. "

Visco ; hey nana.

Nana showed her plastic bag " Shadow Demon! I got it !! The puppy gatcha I wanted !"

Shadow Demon: that's great. How many tries ?

Nana : heh... About 57 ?

Shadow Demon sweatdrops " Miss... "

Nana ; I have money !!

Garlis walks in next from the same door with the rest of the grocery bags.

Shadow Demon: what are we going to do with the rest ?

Garlis takes the bag over from nana " Miss gets to do whatever she wants. "

Nana ; whatever I want.

Garlis ; I'll give it to the orphanage or something.

Visco : you went shopping for food ?

Nana : it's fun. I get to decide what to eat for dinner. Garlis knows how to cook everything!

Visco ; oh. I just thought you could have it delivered.

Garlis ; we do. Miss just gets the often boredom and wants to shop for food.

Nana : there's always something I want to eat !

Garlis brings the bags to the kitchen.

Visco : say. Have you ever seen Shadow Demon's face ? I'm curious.

Garlis stops in his steps and turns around at visco's question as well. Garlis laughed a little " good luck with that "

Nana sits in her couch " Shadow Demon have reasons he doesn't want to show."

Visco ; and you just trust him ? What is his name though? Do you even know ?

Nana ; enough. Visco. I trust Shadow Demon.

Visco; ... Alright.

Nana ; you have a business for me ?

Visco goes to sit beside her on the couch and cupped her shoulder in" can't I just come see you ? "

Nana ; um ! You can !

Shadow Demon walked into her bedroom . She was changing into pyjamas. Her back was revealed.

Shadow Demon: sorry.

Nana ; oh. Help me. The buttons at the back.

He walked forward and helped her with the numerous buttons " done." She just turned around and they were at close range. She looked up " Shadow Demon. You'll never betray me right ?"

Shadow Demon: never.

Nana : I don't know your face. I don't know your real name. But I trust you a lot.

" I know." He places her stray hair tugged behind her ear. " Do you want to know ? My real name. A name to hang onto."

Nana put her finger to his lip " Shadow Demon is your name. "

Shadow Demon; nana...

Nana ; I like this between us. You can't show yourself to me. So I rather only know you as Shadow Demon.

" Nana..." He slowly cups her head and pushes her in for a hug.

Nana puts her own hands around him " warm... Shadow Demon "

Shadow Demon; yes nana ?

Nana ; can we have that ?

Shadow Demon; you have Visco for that. Don't you ? You don't need me anymore.

Nana ; continue this, and I won't let you call me nana when we're alone again .

" You're very bossy. You know that ? " He takes the strip of black cloth on the table and ties it around her eyes. " Not afraid we get caught?"

Nana ; this is my house. I can do whatever I want.

" Bossy. " And he kisses her. She receives his warm lips and tongue. She starts to flush red as she tries to contain all of what he's giving him...

He releases her and she pants for air , but she wasn't given a moment to rest as he touches her  neckline with his lips .

She moans " ahn... "

Garlis sees Shadow Demon exits the bedroom " she's asleep ?"

He nods.

Garlis ; another session ?

Shadow Demon: Um .

Garlis ; sighs. Been long you two did it

Shadow Demon: I thought you would be angry.

Garlis ; Miss is lonely. At first , I thought this thing between you and Miss was a real thing.

Shadow Demon laughed " I remember. "

Flashback ~

It was raining that night. Particularly cold. She was watching the rain come down through the windows. It was late and she hadn't fell asleep.

Shadow Demon: haven't slept ?

Nana ; um... The day Neva died... We made it rain too.

Shadow Demon: missing him ?

Nana : no... Just thought of it. I'm lonely... Shadow Demon. They all left me. My children has all grown up and have their things to do.

Shadow Demon : they come back to visit you.

Nana : I know. I'm... Lonely now...

" Nana. " He strokes her hair " does that make you feel better ?"

She turns around to look to him " say again."

Shadow Demon: Nana.

Nana : only when we're alone ok ?

Shadow Demon: ok.

She smiled then reached for his mask. He held onto her wrist " why ? "

Nana ; just a little. I promise. I.... I... Want a kiss.

" Wait here." He goes to the curtain and tore a strip to tie around her eyes. He takes off his mask and he kisses her.

Not a simple one. He pushes his tongue in and she happily accepts as he cups her head to continue a more aggressive one.

He releases her for a while so she could breathe. He saw her saliva drooling a little on the side and thought she was cute.

Nana : ... Why did you stop ?

Shadow Demon: nana...

" You can... Touch more of me..." She flushed as she breathes.  He carries her up onto the bed and laid her down " time for you to sleep. "

She pulled onto his sleeve " please... "

" Nana... " He kissed by her ear " alright..."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
And as he exited the bedroom, he saw Garlis.

Garlis ; what the hell do you think you're doing ?

Shadow Demon: she was lonely.

Garlis: what are you going to do if she's pregnant?!! You're a bodyguard !!

Shadow Demon: it's just the kiss and touching. There isn't... The real sex. She won't get pregnant.

Garlis: ....that's it ? Really? Promise ?

Shadow Demon: I know what you're worried about. I told you before. I love her. I wouldn't get her into bad situations.

Garlis : alright.

End of flashback ~

Garlis ; do you think it will happen though? Visco and our Miss.

Shadow Demon; don't know.

Garlis ; to be honest, I'm on your side. That visco , I feel like he's taking our Miss's things away . A bit by a bit.

Shadow Demon: you mean when he talks to Miss Ilise and the other people directly like their his own people ?

Garlis: very annoying. Plus, he also had never done it real with Miss.

Shadow Demon: no ?

Garlis : just , only, kissing. I asked for you my brother.

Shadow Demon: erm, thanks.

Garlis ; based on that, I hope you win. Oh. Win, as a bodyguard.

Shadow Demon sweatdrops " ha."
