"Heh heh, this is the first time that anyone's ever called me that." Akatsuki Mitarai chuckled again, but the look in his eyes grew even colder.

Natsuya snorted and said, "Everyone would say so if they could see who you really were."

Natsuya furrowed her brows. "Stop calling me by my name."

"You're special to me. The most special woman of all." Akatsuki Mitarai had an abnormal look in his eyes as he looked directly at her. "I really, really want to obtain you..."

Natsuya felt a chill from this. This was the same look. That icy... no, it had surpassed iciness. It was a distant, abnormal look, one that caused her to once feel danger and disgust.
