FEAR was a thing I had come to terms with since I had come here to this asylum full of nogitsunes and unstable supernatural creatures. There was no safety here, not even Daiki was safe at this point. He was trying to make himself appear to be the silver lining.

My heightened senses told me that. The only thing, the only person who was safe wasn't in the room. I had no idea where Storm happened to be. Not even Issei was safe at this point. After all he had been defeated by his older sister Ren.

If Daiki and Issei couldn't defeat Ren then there was no way in hell I even stood a chance against her. Something about Ren made me uncomfortable. And it wasn't in the whole 'your a kitsune dating my perfect nogitsune brother, who dare you' type of a way either. No it wasn't that.

She didn't seem to give a flying fuck about the fact that I was Daiki's girlfriend. If anything she seemed amused by it. And I wasn't able to tell if it was the fact that Daiki's mother would hate me or for another reason. Nor did I have the time to find this out.

When Daiki showed up in the room once more I prepared myself. This wasn't the Daiki I had come to know and enjoy company with. This was the Daiki who drew me into a web that was practically designed to trap people who came near him.

He was a mastermind and a very excellent manipulator, it was slowly dawning on me. I had begun to see it since I had been here. The only reason being because of the fact that I had seen the human Daiki. The one I had been falling for before this happened.

Our life had been going so well. The ghost riders had been defeated and life was suddenly settling down before Raiden had taken Akiya and started this ridiculous game of hide and seek that we were playing. But now he had us in a situation that we couldn't get out of.

I wondered what mom was doing. "Araya." Daiki spoke and I looked up wishing for him to leave so I could be left in this ugly room by myself. "Your being requested outside. . . all of us are." Daiki spoke coming over and I looked up confused on what was going on.

"And you should get up fast, my mom isn't the most patient person to have ever existed." Daiki spoke a bit of a smile twisting up those lips I had become familiar with. "So you should get up." Daiki spoke and I couldn't even deny him at this point.

The fear inside me was like a hurricane swirling inside me getting stronger and stronger as it came in dangerous and deadly waves. And all I could do at this point in time was endure as Daiki walked me through the hallways. But the nogitsunes weren't the only things to be scared of.

As we walked past a cell I looked over. And then she leaped at the glass slamming her entire body weight into it making me jump back as Daiki paused. She looked wild with messy hair, and sharp teeth as she screamed and slammed her fists into the glass.

Hungry eyes remained on me as her knuckles cracked and blood leaked out each time she struck the bulletproof glass and screeched. It echoed throughout the asylum before Daiki began pushing me along. It became painfully obvious that some of these patients here at the asylum were much more dangerous.

There was a guy sitting on the bed with a smirk as he watched us past. And a girl curled into a ball talking to herself as she traced patterns on the walls. Every single one of them brought a new term to crazy. There was no denying that as I walked with Daiki.

I kept my head away from them as Daiki paused at a door. Despite the little time we had been here, it seems he was trusted a lot. Because I was silently wishing he would break us out of here. But he showed no sign of wanting to do that.
