"Yamamoto taught me that one! Cool, right? He told me to escape your enemies, trick them! And she showed me where to aim if I'm ever held like that~ It just came to me!" (Y/n) giggled, smiling at Elf as he looked at her surprised. "But my throat does hurt! Now I'm going to have to look like Nico! Listen, I really hate pain, just an F-Y-I! And you will pay for poisoning Akira~... If I have to get blood on my hands... Then so be it... I'll do anything to protect Akira! My friends! I'll even kill Kat... I don't care if it lands me in prison or not. Suppose people think of me differently just because I took a life. I do what I have to do."

"Such a pleasant word to hear coming out of your mouth~... Kill~... You are supposed to kill dear~... You were made to kill. It's only human nature... But then again, you aren't completely human now~" Elf said, his smirk now back on his lips. 

"... I refuse to go with you. I don't know what you want or what you will do to me. On top of that, you tried to kill one of the most important people to me, and you did kill my mother" (Y/n) said. Her eyes as furious as a lion's and her voice sharp and stern. She didn't look like a helpless little girl standing there. No, not anymore. She had people she needed to protect. She knew that, and that's what gave her strength. They all felt (Y/n)'s anger and blood lust. It was massive and strong. It would be hard to miss. "So you can take a hike."

"Not this time~," Elf said, pulling out another knife. (Y/n) looked at the blade. She knew compared to him; she is just a rabbit. Not a problem to take care of. She knew she wouldn't win when he had a weapon. She at least had a slight chance when he was unarmed. But now, they were both armed. She would lose, no doubt. 

He is stronger than me... No doubt about it. But I'm smarter. but that won't get me anywhere~ (Y/n) thought. "Don't tell me you are scared now~... All talk and no bite I see~" Elf said. 

"I'll show you a bite, you pointy-eared clown!" (Y/n) shouted. 

"Then why aren't you moving? Your legs are shaking as well~... You are scared~... You are so easy to read, dear~" Elf said. 

(Y/n) smirked. She then held the knife to her throat. "You need me alive, don't you?" (Y/n) said, smirking. She could tell ELf was slightly tensed up. But he kept his composure. 

Kaito walked up to (Y/n), took the knife out of her hand, and slapped her across the face. Everyone was surprised. "... You shouldn't hit a lady!" Honey shouted as Trois and Uno held him back from attacking Kaito. 

"Don't ever hold a blade to your throat. Don't you ever hurt yourself on purpose, and don't ever ask to die," Kaito said sternly. (Y/n) looked up at him. 

"... Thank you" (Y/n) mumbled. "I was going crazy..."

Elf huffed slightly. "A knight in shining armor~... You were supposed to capture (Y/n)... Now you are saving her... I said you would be able to live a happy life with (Y/n). You would be able to marry your little crush~... You could be with her forever~... But you really are stupid, aren't you?" Elf said. 

"You said you wouldn't hurt (Y/n). You lied to me," Kaito said. 

"But you get to be with her, don't you? I don't see the problem~" Elf said. "... We can even get her to love you. She would be the only person she ever cared for, she ever loved. The only man she would never ignore. We can make her perfect for you. She would be yours... All you have to do is take her."

"K-Kaito? Y-You still... I-I'm so sorry... B-But... I-I" (Y/n) was speechless. She never realized he still had a thing for her. But she doesn't feel the same. 

"See? She will never love you~ Unless we experiment on her. We can get her to love you~" Elf said. Kaito looked at (Y/n). 

"... It's childish, isn't it? Still having the biggest crush on the girl that totally rejected me~... And now for a second time~" Kaito said. "... But I won't. I want her to be happy. That's all I care about."

I-I... I-I am s-so so s-s-sorry~..." (Y/n) said, backing away slightly. "I can't... I just can't love someone~... I n-never have~... I-It's scary... A-And... I-I'm so sorry~."

"Scary, huh? I guess that explains it~" Kaito mumbled. "... I'll admit, it really does hurt hearing that~."

"S-Sorry~" (Y/n) said. "B-But... I-I just... I-I can't~..."
