"Fi.. I don't even know where to start." Kaito said quietly as he glanced at him.

Zero watched her curiously, glancing at the photo she had went and got. "Yeah.." He murmured quietly. "I don't know everything about him.". He mused with a small smirk. "I need you to trust me." He said casually, holding a hand out to her.

Maddie's mind switched heard when he spoke, and her darker side was starting to slip through. They trusted her? Then why did half of the people she tried to help, blame and batter her when her visions came true? Why was she being sought out by this false church woman? "You're right, I do feel bad.. but I can't take people calling my a liar and blaming me for their tragedies anymore." She murmured quietly. "Besides that.." She glanced at him with a soft exprrssion. "I don't have to anymore."

Alice slowly texted back, 'I Just don't feel very well.. Can you bring me some breakfast, please? I'm having a hard time getting out of bed..' She sent after a few minutes.

Takashi paused and lowered his eyes. "Mistukuni was angry that I've been spending time with someone else other than him, he felt she was trying to replace him." He spoke calmly. "We talked, and he's going to try and give her a chance, but I don't want to hurt him." He explained, unsure of what to do.

Zero sighed. "Look, if I wanted to hurt you I would have already." He said. "There's a lot of things I could have done to you in the minutes I've been standing in this room." He said rather calmly. "My name's Zero, and I've been looking for Allen for a long time, never would've guessed he'd come back to this place." Zero murmured. "This was his parents house, before he was turned. In another life, if you will. It's been empty for many years."

The woman watched as the engine started, before lowering her head and heading to her own car to go home. Most of what she said was true. Most.

Maddie lowered her eyes as they drove away. "I don't understand why people want to suddenly come to me, when I've stopped going to my booth." She murmured quietly.

Alice slowly reached for her phone and sent Hikaru a text, asking if she could stay here today. Breathing hurt and trying to shift hurt more so she stayed in the bed with pillow held again at herself.

Takashi blinked and shook his head. "Last time I gave Mia a ride, Mistukuni and I had a fight." He murmured quietly, not really by his cheeks were tinted by a light blush.

Zero waited for her to finish before responding. "I used to have a partner, I kept hers. If you want to, I could teach you when he's not here." He offered. "Technically, it's not loaded, but no one else knows that." He explained, hoping she was calming down some. He wasn't here to hurt her.

Zero simply watched her, before holding out a small pea shooter of a pistol. "I just came to give you this." He said calmly, finding her reaction only natural. "If you want to protect him, as he does you, you'll need to learn to use it against those like his master. They will come, once they've heard how protective he is of you." He said.

It wasn't until that morning that Alice noticed the text from the younger twin and smiled as when she checked the message. She set aside her phone to get up, only have pain jab her in the chest, causing her to tense up. She balled up under the blankets and squeezed the pillow tightly against herself. Last night really had been something, and she had brushed it off like it was nothing.

Takashi said good morning to his mom and helped her prepare breakfast, then the two sat at the table to eat. It was a quite morning, and all Takashi could think about was his cousin and Mia.

Maddie glanced at Clint when he spoke and nodded lightly, slipping inside the car just to get away from the woman.

"He won't listen.. He thinks I'm just being paranoid, and I can't go with him. It's a business trip and we have kids." She explained quietly. "Please.. I don't have anywhere else to go." Maddie was starting to weigh her options here, feel bad for turning the woman away or risk something happening to the guy and have someone else try to blame her when she could have prevented it. Damn it. "I'm sorry, I can't. The whole thing was a scam, I just happened to get lucky with your fiance. Now if you don't mind, we'll be in our way now." Maddie spoke calmly, glancing at the woman with daggers.

Zero waited until he saw Kaneko, then quietly approached her only to cover her mouth with his hand. "Don't scream, I'm not going to hurt you." He said quietly. "We have a friend in common and all I want is to help, okay?" He voiced calmly as he slowly removed his hand. "You and he have very dangerous people looking for you two, you need someone to watch your back when he can't."

(I hate to do this, but I'm time skipping lol :p )

Alice managed a small smile as their mother voiced how she was always welcome to stay, only nodding when told to come to dinner and following the twins. She paused !when she heard their father and offered him a shy smile. "My mother and I just recently moved back, I'm just trying to adjust." She said calmly.

After everyone had eaten dinner, Alice bid everyone goodnight and went up to her old room. Her room had a bathroom, as did all the rooms in the this mansion. She changed into some sleep clothes and laid down on the plump and fluffy bed, relaxing against the soft pillows and drifted off to sleep.

By morning, Alice almost forgot they had school. She blissfully lay in the bed, waking up peacefully for once since moving back to Japan.

Takashi woke and easily got up and got ready for school before joining his mother for breakfast.

Maddie kept her eyes low as Clint paid for everything, and helped him carry some of the bags to the car. When they reached the car, Maddie noticed a reflection of another person close behind them and she paused, slowly turning to look at the woman who had number into her inside the store. The woman smiled seemingly kindly and held out a hand to Maddie. "I'm sorry, you're the woman who gives readings right? Even with a hood on, I knew I'd recognized you close up." She asked.

Maddie stifled a frown. "I dont.. do that anymore.." She murmured, down casting her eyes. "Oh please? I used to come to you as a regular. You saved my fiance's life!" The woman explained, almost pleading. "I'm afraid something else is going to happen.. My fiance has to take a road trip and I'm scared." She spoke, putting Maddie in an uncomfortable position. Didn't this woman understand? Then again.. She didn't know what to do.
