It's okay now. I'm here.

Ichigo said "Zerotwo is going back to the 9s, tomorrow night..." Hiro pursed his lips in amusement, waiting for it. She suddenly said "You hate me don't you." there it was. The moment he was waiting for. The best part of his day.

He looked at her and smiled "I hate you more than anything in the world actually. I've hated you for a long time. It should be months now. Hate isn't even a strong enough word. Loathe is better." he smiled happily and looked at her crying face.

He couldn't care less and continued "Your jealous, you jeopardize the entire squad based on your emotions for me, you only really care about yourself, you antagonize Zerotwo at every turn, your gullible, easy to manipulate, hot headed, and you don't consider my feelings at all. Did you think I would like you because I gave you a name? Did you think I was yours?"

He chuckled and said "Look at me." she looked up, crying and Hiro said with a sigh "Look at yourself. What a mess. First of all, I knew you liked me or whatever a long time ago. I've been hinting that I didn't like you since the beginning. Maybe your just too stupid to understand. I figured, I'll make it clear. I told you in the mock battle a long time ago, not matter how much you want it to work it won't work."

He shook his head and sighed "Yet, you still didn't understand. Obviously, you're not fit to be a leader, much less a partner in a relationship. Actually, I feel sorry for Goro. Having a partner that couldn't care less about him must suck pretty bad."

He fell back on his bed and continued "Here, I'll say it again. I don't like you. I don't love you. I don't even want to have any relation to you at all, in fact. Every time you stop me and Zerotwo from seeing each other like right now, It makes me hate you even more. Actually, I'm so angry right now. You really don't understand. Being in the same room as you is making my blood boil."

Ichigo clenched his fists and shouted "Why! Why is it her! Why can't it be me?!" Hiro looked at her, completely stunned, he replied "Hey. Are you deaf too? I don't know sign language. I just told you why. She actually cares about me, unlike you."

Ichigo threw the apple and knife to the side and said angrily "She was using you! She wanted to turn you into a monster like her! Can't you see that?! She's killed hundreds of Stamens before you! She'll devour y-"

Hiro slapped her, her head turned to the side and she looked dazed. Hiro said "Listen to yourself. Can you hear yourself talk right now?! She's a member of the Squad! What are you saying?! She's not a monster!"

She roared "She is! She's a monster through and through! She was just disguising herself as a human to blend in! Which human do you see walking around with horns!? Even if you hate me I won't let you see her!"

Hiro was trembling in anger, he threw the plate next to her head and shouted "Get out! Get the fuck out of my room! The only monster in the squad is you! You selfish bitch! Whoever made you leader was a fool! How many times have we been in trouble because of you?! How many times has Goro had to drag you back from your retarded mental breakdowns!? Miku's right, you're just a selfish cunt! You don't care about me, you don't care about the Squad, you don't care about missions, you only care about yourself!"

He was truly angry, she went over the line. He roared "Get out of my fucking sight! If I never have to see you again, I'll be fucking thrilled! The one who has to leave isn't her, it's you! Don't think I don't know that everyone follows your orders. You think the rest want to separate me and her? It's all you! I'm not losing my humanity, she's not a monster, you just want her gone so that you can have me to yourself!"

He sneered at her dumbfounded look and added coldly "Newsflash, bitch. I will never like you. Even if you were the last person on Earth, even if you were the only Pistil in the entire world, I would rather die. Now get the fuck out of my room, your ruining the air in here. Miku! Come drag 015 out of my room. Please."

He rubbed his eyes with his hand as Miku walked in with a 'Omg wtf' face, she grabbed Ichigo, who woke up and grinded her teeth saying "Well she's leaving anyway. There's nothing you can do about it now. As for the rest... Whatever!" before shaking off Miku's hand and leaving by herself.

Miku was standing there with her mouth open wide. Hiro looked at her and chuckled saying "She's crazy, right? It's not just me?" Miku was about to speak before closed her mouth and said "I'm not gonna say anything..." before walking out of the room and closing the door.

Hiro chuckled and sighed before looking at the knife in the corner. He took the knife and cut the curtains before wrapping them up and throwing them over the railing up top. Even if he had super strength he couldn't jump that high.

He climbed up and slapped his forehead as he said "I can just fly. What the fuck." he sighed and left the room like a ninja.

A while later

He went to the Residence and opened Zerotwo's door, he sighed at the claw marks. There was blood there too. He felt pain in his heart, he looked down and picked up the book under the bed. It was the book he drew. He felt indescribable pain looking at the neat book that didn't have any scratches despite the room being torn to shreds.

He took the book and walked back to where he knew she was.

A while later

He came back to his hospital room and saw Zerotwo choking Ichigo. He stood in the doorway and Zerotwo looked over, dropping Ichigo. Hiro walked over and touched her cheek as he said "Does it hurt?" Zerotwo trembled and grabbed his hand, crying as she nodded and said "So much..."

Hiro hugged her and said "It's okay now. I'm here." as he stroked her hair softly, she grabbed his shirt tightly and cried, collapsing on him. He kissed her head and rubbed her back, not even glancing at the hyperventilating Ichigo on the ground.

He lifted Zerotwo's chin and pushed her lips up, revealing her fangs. He chuckled and said "Are they sharp?" Zerotwo smiled softly and nodded, he smiled and kissed her, biting on her lower lip and pulling before letting go.

She licked her slightly bloody lips and looked at Hiro speechlessly. He grinned and his sharp canines gleamed, she gasped and giggled, elated. He said "You left this in your room." Zerotwo held the book and hugged it to her chest, smiling cutely. He stepped passed Ichigo and checked everyone's pulses before saying "You really should have been a bit more gentle, Angel. They're semi-victims too."

Zerotwo looked down and said softly "Are you mad?" Hiro chuckled and shook his head saying "Not really." he looked at the group and added "Though, they might be." Zerotwo said happily "As long as my Darling isn't mad at me~"

He sighed and shook his head with a smile "Silly girl. Even I was mad at you, where would you go? Would you run away?" he clicked his tongue and added "Can you run from me is the question." Zerotwo licked her lips and said "Will you come catch me?"

Hiro grinned wildly "You won't even make it out the door." he looked at her and his eyes glowed blue as he said "You're mine. You're never escaping me." She groaned and looked at him with a grin of her own.

Hiro picked up the group, carrying Goro, Futoshi, Mitsuru, and Zorome. 2 on his shoulders and 2 in his hands. Zerotwo picked up Miku, Ikuno, and Kokoro, before leaving the room with Ichigo gasping for air and crying inside of it.

The next day

The group was all patched up. Hiro was leaning on the door of the residence. Goro was behind him saying "Are you sure about this?" Hiro said flatly "You think she's a good leader? You tell me. Does she ever care about the rest of the group?" Goro took off his glasses and cleaned them, sighing.

Hiro said "Not only can she not control her emotions but she also got one of our Squad members kicked out of the squad!" Goro breathed on his glasses and wiped them saying "If it wasn't Zerotwo, would you care?" Hiro was silent.

Goro shook his head and Hiro said "Do I not have a right to be mad? Because of her, I lost my partner. We were 10, now were 9. I don't have a partner, who am I going to ride with? You? Ikuno? Miku?" Goro was silent, he was right. It wasn't fair to him at all, they shouldn't have gotten into his business.

Hiro looked at the jet over head and his gaze pierced through the sky into a window. He could feel her crying, he felt awful. He didn't have the means to do anything about it at the moment. What was he supposed to do? Run away with her?

Just take Strelizia and go? Where would he go? What about food? Water? They can't eat Klaxosaur can they? He suddenly thought, can you eat Klaxosaur? This required further investigation.

Next time he's out, he'll steal some Klaxosaur meat.

He looked at his crying Angel and sighed, tilting his cap down. He looked down at the strap on his glove palm, there was a little Zerotwo plushie on it, hanging by a string. He sighed and walked back into the house.

The rest of the group were sitting in the lounge room.

Hiro looked at them and said "You all mad?" they didn't say anything, having heard what Hiro said to Ichigo from Miku. Ichigo was conveniently not in the room at the moment.

Hiro sat down and said "What do you think Kokoro." Kokoro was flustered and said "Wha? M-Me?!" Hiro smiled and said "Yes, you." Kokoro touched her finger tips together and said softly "W-Well I thought we should've just stayed out of it to begin with... They were so happy..."

Hiro smiled and ruffled Kokoro's hair, making her more flustered. Mitsuru threw his hands out and said "What difference does it make now? What's done is done. I'm sorry, Hiro. Maybe you don't want to hear this, but she's gone. As much as you don't like her, Ichigo is a part of the Squad and the leader. We have a big mission and we can't have you or her behaving like this. Not only will it risk your lives but ours as well."

Goro cracked a smile and patted Hiro on the shoulder saying "Yeah, we need to focus. We'll figure everything out later, alright?" Hiro smirked and said "Hais... What is this? An intervention?" the group chuckled and Zorome rubbed his cheek, grinning "By the way, she hits harder than you do."

Hiro laughed and said "You want to try again?" the squad was back in high spirits, while Ichigo watched from the doorway with an expressionless face.
