"Another?"

"I- I...", Katsu steps back, letting me go. He looks as confused as Youko and me.

In one movement Youko is beside me. "Why don't you tell us who you really are?"

"I swear I don't remember anything except my name, but just then..." Katsu rubs the back of his neck in distress, his eyes pierce right through me, seemingly in a different world.

"Another girl." He says this so quietly that I almost missed it. Katsu's hand unconsciously rubs against the scarring on his stomach. Right where he was shot.

"One of your ex's give you trouble, huh?" Youko laughs, though it's humorless.

"I think it's time for you to go. I'm grateful that you recused (Y/n) from Ryuu even though I still don't fully understand what happened there. I'll send Ume to retrieve anything that you may have brought with you. A shuttle will be here for you shortly." Youko reaches for the telephone on his desk.

If I blinked I would have missed it completely. Katsu grabs the letter opener on top of the fireplace and with a flick of his wrist stabs it into Youko hand. The sickening sound of skin and bone breaking causes bile to rise up in my throat.

Surprisingly, Youko only gives a gasp of pain before quickly pulling the letter opener out. Youko reaches into one of his desk drawers and comes out brandishing a revolver.

"Youko, stop!" But he doesn't pull the trigger. A tense second passes before Katsu raises his hands up in defeat. I turn to find him with a playful smile on his face that doesn't quite reach his eyes.

"I should have known you'd bring a gun to knife fight."

"You should be flattered. I'm not going to underestimate you like Ryuu did. He isn't dead, is he?" Youko calmly asks, his right hand bleeding profusely now.

"Sadly, Ryuu still breathes thanks to (Y/n). She stopped me before I could finish him." Katsu looks over and winks at me. It's disturbing to see how calm he is when a gun is pointed at him. You'd think he'd be more afraid since he's been shot before. Youko cocks his gun again to get his attention.

Chuckling, Katsu finally says, "Fine. I know when I'm beaten." Youko nods his head in agreement but waits a couple seconds before reaching for the phone again. His bad handshakes as he dials with it and continues to hold the gun at Katsu with his good hand.

After quickly alerting Ume of Katsu's sudden departure the room falls into another strained silence.

Neither Katsu or Youko take their eyes off of each other. Both look as if they would kill each other if I wasn't here.

Soon there's a knock on the door and Ume appears. "Ryuu's shuttle is here, sir."

Youko cracks a tight smile, "Perfect. I can walk him down myself. Thank you, Ume." Ume bows and walks away, oblivious to the atmosphere.

"Where will the shuttle take me?" Everyone stands up at the same time no one wanting to be at a disadvantage if someone attacked.

"You'll find out soon enough." Youko waves the gun at Katsu to get him to start moving.

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

P.O.V Katsu

I sit in the black shuttle between two burly security guards while another one sits in the driver's seat.

Youko still has his gun out but no longer aims it at me. I can see (Y/n) wrapping up his bloody right hand. Her face is unreadable in the dim light of evening. Though, I'm sure she's already thinking of a way to stop Youko from making me leave. She can't stand to have me gone. She'll miss me.

She loves me too much to see me go.

I may remember having feelings for another girl before but how could I love anyone but (Y/n)?

"Ok, kid. Mister Ito has told us all about you so don't try anything. Ito only said to keep you alive enough to get you there. I would feel no guilt if I had to knock you around a few times before then."

I roll me eyes and continue looking out at (Y/n). "Where is 'there' exactly?"

"Wouldn't you like to know." The drive looks back at me with a smirk.

"Yeah. I would." The guard on my left slaps me in the back of the head.

"Don't get smart with us, punk." I clench my teeth together to stop myself from making another comment. These guys don't look any older than I do. I could probably take them.

I saw the one on my left walk up to the shuttle before he sat next to me. He seems to favor his left foot more than his right. But I can't attack one of them without the other noticing in this car.

I barely have enough room to stretch my legs. Though that isn't saying much because my legs are so long I usually don't have a lot of room anyway.

Youko waves the car forward and we start moving. I can feel Youko watching me from outside the car but I ignore him and stare at (Y/n) hoping that she'll look up at me. When do catch her eye I feel my heart stutter. She looks at me like she loves me; with such passion.

With that one last look, she turns away as if she can't stand watching me leave. I can only imagine how much anguish she must be in. I only just rescued her from Ryuu and now she's being held captive by Youko.

Don't worry (Y/n). I'll escape and come back for you.

Nothing can come between our love.

Not Ryuu. Not Youko. Not even your own doubts can stop me from falling into our fate to be together.

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

P.O.V (Y/n)

As I watch the shuttle cross over the horizon I can help but feel that Katsu will be back soon.

"Come inside, now." I follow Youko back into his study. I know he wants me to explain how I ended up with Katsu. So I try to make it quick. Of course, I leave out Katsu kissing me. I tell Youko about finding Katsu in my strawberry garden and Ryuu's immediate disliking for him. I explain how Ryuu eventually kicked Katsu out of the house but he snuck into the house to be with me anyway.

The more I say to Youko the more I realize just how psychotic Katsu sounds. Threatening people with scalpels? Breaking in through my window at night?Actually stabbing Youko in the hand?

I feel so stupid. I ran away with that guy! I ran away from my best friend who was bleeding on the floor of a hidden closet.

"Youko, I have to go back home. I need to know if Ryuu is ok." I can't stand the look he gives me, a mix of disappointment and pity.

"Alright, I'll call up a car for you. I'm sending a guard with you too, in case Katsu comes back." I shake my head. I KNOW he'll be back.

I go back to my room to find Wendell already packing my bag.

"Good evening, Mistress (L/n). Mister called me to pack your things. I hope it's ok that I began without you." She nervously looks at me, fidgeting with the hem of her apron.

"It's fine, Wendell. Thank you." I let her continue packing and walk over to the bookcase. My eyes go right to the Peter Pan book again. Picking it up, I'm surprised by how heavy it is. Unusually heavy.

Glancing behind me I see that Wendell is busy with my bag so I open it. Immediately I notice that most of the pages have been cut to hold a large silver and gold dagger within its text.

Why would someone hide a dagger here? Is Youko paranoid or did one of the servants put this here? I can tell by the dirty hardcover of the book that it's been used a lot and by the tiny specks of dried blood on the dagger, recently too.

The sound of my room's door opening I scramble to place the book back on the shelf before anyone notices. I turn to find Youko smiling at Wendell.

"Thank you, Wendy. Can you bring Mistress' luggage down to the car, please." With a bow of her head, the maid leaves.

As soon as we're alone he drops his smile and looks at me.

"I was just looking for a book to read. I didn't know when I would be leaving so if the cars ready I'll just be going--." Youko stalks over to me a hand reaching up. At first, I think he's going to touch my face but instead, he grabs the hollowed book by my head. He opens up to the dagger, taking it out to show me.

"As you may know my brother, Yuki, die a few months back." I do remember. It was all over the news that about how he was found hanging in the hallway of his apartment complex.

"Mother and father had disowned him years ago he married without their approval." A look of disgust comes over Youko's face. " Some commener that didn't know her place."

"Father cut him off from their bank account so he had to move in with his wife in the city. I had heard he was drinking his savings away and even his marriage was starting to get bumpy." His eyes harden as he continues. " I loved my brother so I tried to talk him into moving in with me but he wouldn't listen.he was so set on proving to our parents that he could live without them."

"To anyone else suicide would be obvious. But I'd known his for years before. I KNOW he wouldn't kill himself, especially so publically. Even as a child, he was always the shy one, always hiding behind me."

Youko sits down on the bed and doesn't say anything else for a long time. I'm about to ask him to go on when he begins talking again.

"Someone killed him. Someone had to have. and I'm set to find out who. No one kills an Ito without repercussions." Youko digs the tip of the dagger into his finger, almost subconsciously. The pain eventually snaps him out of his stupor and he winces.

"So that dagger...."

"Yes, I've narrowed down my suspects as to who could have killed Yuki but the trail is running out. If I don't find his murderer soon I fear I never will."

"How are you finding your information?" I kind of don't want to know because I'm going to guess that the blood on the dagger isn't Youko's. But by Youko's silence, he tells me to want I don't want to hear.

My knees go weak and I have to sit. Sliding down the wall I sit on the ground.

"Th-That blood is..... you killed.... someone, Youko.... didn't you."

"You don't understand the feeling of losing someone! The feeling that he was taken from you!" Suddenly, Youko is right in my face."No, you run away from those that love you and into the arms of psychos!" He punches the wall next to my face and gets up. Without another word, he runs out of the room.

I have to steady my breathing before getting up.

Time to go back home and pray that Ryuu forgives me.
