We ran into town, ignoring passing strangers. Houkou was on Hikari's scent stronger than ever.
My legs ached a little, I couldn't help but wonder if it's good for a pregnant woman to run. But I didn't care, I had to find Hikari. No, WE had to find Hikari.
But, Hikari seemed more important to Houkou than she did to me. I guess Houkou was attracted to her more because I dealt with a power like hers. A power like Matthew's.
I shook my head, erasing Matthew. But another image pulled up, Francis. Personally, he was like a stranger to me. Like Houkou had said, I know everything about him, but don't know him at all.
"This way." Houkou yelled, turning a sharp corner.
To Hikari...
"Where are you taking me?" she asked the man holding her tightly.
"Away from the dangers in the world...A place where I can forever be with you." he whispered the last part.
Hikari became confused. Forever? But why?
She looked up at his calm, concentrated face. Just under his bang covering his left eye, showed a glowing gold eye. It frightened her but seemed to fit him perfectly.
"Who are you..." she said, not asking...But commanding.
He looked down at her and smirked before saying simply.
"Francis."
