"Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that." – Martin Luther King Jr., "Strength to Love" (1963)

He carefully stood from the bed and walked over to the window, opening the curtain slightly to watch Junko and Yukinori's incarnations as they calmly yet determinedly walked towards their destination.

*chuckle* "Some things never change huh Daichi? Sending out your loyal soldier and that cheap girl, hm... Well, let's see if he can catch me this time."

Changing into an all-black ensemble, he glanced over the bed, looking for any signs of movement and when he found none, he then slipped into the quiet hallway.

His strides were hurried, a creepy smile on his face, as he carefully but skillfully walked towards his destination.

After rounding one corner, he accidentally hit a person. The action was sudden and the maid he bumped with fell on the floor,

"Oh sir! I'm sorry!"

He faked a smile and offered his hand, "don't worry about it. You are not hurt, are you?"

The maid blushed and accepted the hand offered to her, "oh um... yes sir...not to worry sir. Oh, is there anything I can help out with?"

He shook his head and grinned, "oh no... I was just about to go get a glass of water. I can't bother you with that."

"It's not a bother sir as it is my job. My partner should be back in a few minutes. We'll get you something and bring it to your room as soon as possible."

*Raised eyebrow* "Partner?"

The maid nodded enthusiastically and answered, "Ah it was the young master Higuchi's order to not go anywhere without a partner. He is a wonderful person for worrying about us like that. Even if we are mere maids."

He bit the inside of his mouth to keep his true emotion from showing on his face and another girl approached them then, "Minerva! Sorry I took a long time. Were you scared? Oh... hi sir..."

"Youko! Let's go get sir a glass of water! We'll have it delivered to your room shortly sir!"

He shook his head and smiled as sweetly as he could, "it's all right. I'll just go back to my room."

"O-oh okay sir... please be careful!"

'Mine' pulled on 'Youko' and dragged the latter down the stairs...once the girls were out of ear sight, he scowled openly and hit the wall with his fist, "that damned Daichi... always getting in my way! I'm going to make sure you rot in hell where you belong!"

 always getting in my way! I'm going to make sure you rot in hell where you belong!"
