mukuro: kufufu... you have such a cute face.

lyes: oh shut up. It's not like I chose it to be like that.

mukuro pov:

I caressed her cheek and she blushed hard. Until now, I'm probably the only second person who has seen this face of hers.

Really cute.

She sat on my lap and I kissed softly into her hair.She turned her head slightly to lean onto my chest.

mukuro: you're heavy you know that?

lyes: shut up.You said to let me seat here.

mukuro; I meant the sofa.

lyes: I don't care. I like your lap more.

lyes pov:

Mukuro...the few I let close to me. Its only a few days and we have become so close.

flashback~

mukuro: you... you are quite interesting.

lyes: what do you want?  Just barging in my room like that.

mukuro: we both know you're not even here . You're probably never even here .

lyes: ohto... someone saw through my lie.

mukuro: its just instinct. He probably found out too.

lyes: daemon?He's just too caught up with this face.

mukuro: everything about you... is a mystery. Its so... intriguing...

lyes: that's why I'm staying that way.

He stretched out his hand to touch the face of my illusion. I dodged.

lyes: don't make me dissappear.

He giggled.

mukuro: that face of yours is a fake too. Right?

lyes: hmmm.... what makes you say so?

mukuro: a feeling. But I'm not sure.

lyes: what feeling?

mukuro: your face has a weird feeling.  is it even your face?

end of flashback~

He was the third one to tell me that. Another one who sees through my illusions so easily.

But I wonder... does he trust me? I am a liar.

Probably... only she will trust me. We' are almost the same.

Never mind that.I won't let anyone who sees through my lies get away that easily.

mukuro: kufufu...he's coming.

lyes: eh... and I wanted to stay like that longer.

daemon: lyes.

lyes: hey.

daemon: can you please tell me why you have elena's face?

lyes: can't find the answer?

daemon: no one knows.Are you lying?

lyes: hehehe...I like to lie but what I told you is the truth.I don't like to tell the truth so you owe me one for that.

daemon: another clue.

lyes: another favor owed. She's definitely one of us.

_____________________________________

daemon: you're the last one I haven't asked.

solo: you scared of me?

daemon: more like because I have the hunch you are the person I have to ask.But I want to confirm that the others don't know.

solo: I know the question you're going to ask . My answer is, do you think I will talk about people's past.

daemon: a tight lipped one.So you're not denying that you know.

solo: its not about denying. I won't tell knowing or not knowing.

daemon: why won't you tell?

solo: nobody likes their past being said.

daemon: she gave me permission to know.

solo: I will not say a thing.

Daemon picked up solo by the shirt and lifted her up. He looked at her straight in the eyes angrily ' why are you so stubborn?'

solo: that doesn't scare me.

daemon:don't get in my way from getting my answers.

solo: Than kill me.You won't get your answers either.

Daemon was really pissed.He is that close from getting an answer. He threw her to the wall. *bamm*

daemon: what can I do than will you tell me?

solo:its not up to lyes whether I should open my mouth. Its up to me.

daemon: then what is stopping you from saying.

solo: I doubt your love towards elena.

daemon: you.... how dare you say that?

solo: people change when they see others change . So does relationships.

daemon: I love elena . That will never change...

'even if she's not really elena?' she interrupted.

daemon pov:

What.... I was shocked. No. Stunned. What did she mean by that?

daemon: what do you mean?

solo: exactly as it means.What if she's not the person you know?

That stuck me for a while. The answer that I've been looking for , for so long.... This is the answer?

I never lied to her. I lied a lot to others but never to her. Is this retribution? she...lied to me?

solo: humans are unreliable. They change when others change.

daemon: what did she lie to me...?

solo: you still want to know?

Even if it hurts me.Yes I want to know. This is the answer I have been looking for. I at least should have the courage to face it.

daemon: what is the lie?

solo: the face you see on the elena you know is not hers.That face belonged to lyes.

daemon: what do you mean?

solo: a girl who wanted a mature and beautiful face seeked for the face of others but was never granted. Until the girl met lyes.Lyes understood the girl and gave the girl the permission to use her face.

So.... for my entire life... I've only seen a mask.  For my entire life... I've never seen elena's face...

daemon: did you know why she seeked for that?

solo: the same reason why lyes created that face.
