Last time, I found out what Aoi is and his purpose is to come live with me. As I was in the shower, the constant flashbacks of Xavi's abuse came to me. Why is this happening to me? I almost slept with Aoi. Finding out he's an incubus doesn't sit well with me. I don't need that drama in my life "again". When I got out of the shower. My mom was sitting down on my bed. Why are you in such deep thought, Kaoru? Megumi asked. Mom, what are you trying to pull? I asked. Can I get dressed first? I asked. What are you talking about, Kaoru? Megumi asked. Why would you let an incubus near me? You remember what happen "last time". I know, but you two are very similar if you ask me. Megumi replied. How are we similar, mom? I asked. You two are people getting over trauma. Megumi replied. What kind of trauma does he have? I asked. Where is he? I don't sense him? I thought. If you are curious, I sent Aoi on an errand. Megumi replied. He is heartbroken. He would do anything for her. Even going as far as killing people as the many royal officials at her wishes. Over time, they caught him and they put him at the stake. Megumi replied. That sounds like that first case Ren was over a few years ago. I replied. Because it is. The man who killed for love. Megumi replied. Now that I think about it, I came to check out the scene that night. I replied. Kaoru, what did you see? Megumi asked. The assailant's voice was muffled. I could not figure out what he was saying. I replied. As I snuck into the king's bedroom, where I just saw him finish killing the king. I replied. That woman, she looked at you. "Kill her, she will tell on us. I know you are hiding". The guy shook the blood off his sword. He looked at me. I summoned my sword out of defense. He walked over to me. Leave Kaoru. I don't want to kill you. He whispered softly in my ear. I could tell it was concerned, but he would actually hurt me if I retaliated. I looked him in eyes. How do you know my name? I asked. He punched me in the stomach soon afterwards. I started loose consciousness soon after. I replied. So that is how your brother found you knocked out at the crime scene. Megumi replied. Yes, that wasn't the first time I met him. I replied. What do you mean? Megumi asked. What did that woman look like? Megumi asked. She wore a cloak, but she had long curly grey hair with heliotrope purple eyes. I replied. It surprised my mom at my answer. Aoi parked his car. He saw my mother is here. He unlocked the door and dropped ever thing on the table and rushed up to my room. What the hell did you tell her, Megumi? Aoi asked. As I looked at Aoi, his voice changed. His tone became more waspish. My mom looked him in the face. How long were you under Dierdre's influence, Aoi? Megumi asked. Why are you bringing her up? Aoi asked. You need to cut all ties with her. Megumi replied. Aoi grabbed the left side of his neck. So that is where she bared her fangs? Megumi asked. He became angrier. You can get as angry as you want. Why did she bring her up? I haven't thought about her since that day. Aoi thought. I can easily sever the soul contract you performed with her. Megumi replied. You can do that? Aoi asked. What is this soul contract? I thought. Aoi, were you the guy who punched me in the stomach and left me at the crime scene? I asked. Yes, I saw your brother on his way to the crime scene. You know how much I despise your brother with every fiber of my being. Aoi replied. You have a fair point. Megumi replied. Can you sever the soul contract, Megumi? Aoi asked. No, not completely. She has one hell of a grip on you. How in love were you two? Megumi asked. Aoi smiles. I am going to tell you the story of two broken people who had a common interest. The love of kill and pleasure of the repercussions. Aoi replied. What is Aoi about to tell me? I thought. Stay Tuned.1110Please respect copyright.PENANAxiYsOqTEoV
