The train made its stop at the station within Yokohama .

Once the doors opened, Kyouka ran, her body trembling while sweat dripped down her face .

Her monster of an ability almost activated and killed a person whose company she was growing to confide in .

Sensei trailed after her rapidly , moving around and avoiding peoples legs while they walked by .

She pushed people out of the way, mumbling apologies .

She kept running, not noticing she still held a tight grip on the key chain .

Kyouka panted a bit through her nose once she saw the overlooking towers of the mafia .

She was coming to a slow stop , she then wiped away the dust from her clothes and calmed down her rising heartbeat that was filled with adrenaline .

Sensei watched down from the power line he seemed to have climbed on to watch her .

Kyouka sighed after her body calmed down to a normal beat , her eyes filled with a dark ink of numbness .

She then proceeded to walk quietly to the front entrance of the buildings.

Once she entered the mafias territory, she could feel the movement and presence of lower rank bodyguards around , they lurked and held their guns ready to fire if ordered to .

She walked by a few of them, but none acknowledged her , she didn't either .

Kyouka glanced around once she had made it in , she then slowly began to walk down the cold hallways in search of her guardian.

"There you are," Kyouka halted in her steps and glanced back at the soft voice of an older woman .

A woman who was a few feet taller than her with pretty orange hair , her eyes were the soft color of cherry red .

She held a small closed up umbrella in her hand and with the definition of grace, she walked over to her .

She smiled and gently caressed her cheek "I finished the mission as instructed " Kyouka numbly stared back at her guardian.

"hm, I knew you would my little dark flower , you always do but it seems you have forgotten something ". She kept smiling but her eyes were growing colder .

Kyouka resisted the urge to flinch from the growing anger she felt around her .

" That you must return to the mafia once your mission is complete.But that doesn't mean I don't want you to wander around as you please, " Her nail slowly traced Kyouka's cheek .

A small drip of blood poured .

"But , may I advice you on a small thing my flower," Kouyou's tone dropped .

Her eyes lost all comfort of warmth and chilling sight of ice took its place .

"I suggest you don't seek the light , not even a glimps of it , That man may have helped you but he easily to could stab you in back and we wouldn't want a blade to run through his stomach in return now do we ?".

Kyouka's hand trembled and her heartbeat quickened for a split second,but she nodded in response .

She felt a bittersweet warmth flood back around her, Kouyou's eyes returned with warmth "Good , you do realize I only tell you this to warn you for your own good, I do not wish to see anyone get burned from the light."
