Joshua reluctantly opened his back-pack. The water hadn't managed to leak in, leaving his sandwichs nice and dry. Taking off the plastic covering, he walked back to Gaming Force HQ, happily taking large mouthfuls out of the Peanut Butter & Jam sandwichs until he bit his finger, making him moan quietly until he walked back inside. It was still late at night, meaning he tip-toed quietly down the corridor. Footsteps could be heard behind him, walking into the kitchen.

"Who's there?!" Joshua yelled.

The figure let out a scream, dropping a tub of ice-cream, sending the contents all over the floor. Joshua looked at the mess with a annoyed glance, before the figure fell to the floor. Many cuts he felt were on her flesh, as well as most of her clothes seemed to be torn. The long blue hair and bright red eyes stared at him with some surprise, but showed pain.

"Dinah, are you sure you should be out here? You're still wounded." Joshua asked, slightly concerned.

"I-It's nothing...I'm fine. Just let me eat something, okay? I'm..hungry..." Devil Dinah groaned, turning on the lights.

Joshua looked at Devil Dinah, eyes dropping in shock at the amount of cuts on her body. Her somewhat...appealing clothing was badly torn, revealing much of her pale skin. He couldn't help but stare before she pushed a spoon of vanilla ice cream into his face.

"Hey!"

"You shouldn't stare at girls for too long, they'll get angry." Devil Dinah teased.

>Strange...She never acted like this...maybe those wounds are making her this way...< Joshua thought.

Both sat there, quickly going through the large tub of ice-cream before Joshua clutched his head. Brain Freeze. It wasn't exactly the most fun thing about eating Ice Cream, but Devil Dinah simply laughed at him.

"...What's so funny?"

"The way you look! It's so weird...and cute."

Joshua went red over the last remark. Something was defenitly wrong here. Before he had a chance to object, Devil Dinah had grabbed his arm, pulling him back. Both stared at each other's face, both had some melting ice-cream on thier face. Perhaps this wasn't so bad...if she wasn't hurting my arm! He quickly kept quiet when she dragged him to the Lounge, falling down on Joshua, half-asleep.

"She really needs to get some rest...But, when you think about it...she's not that bad...I think if I give her some Mana, she'll be fine..." Joshua sighed to himself.

Devil Dinah was asleep, leaning on Joshua, her face on his chest, nuzzling against him. Wiping the ice-cream off both of thier faces, Joshua held Devil Dinah close. A few hours past, Joshua was unable to keep his eyes open any longer. Sleep fell upon him, while Dinah awakened. Her eyes slowly opened, finding herself lying next to a sleeping Joshua. Perhaps...he saved her again, it seemed. Even though he might have come late, she was still alive thanks to him.

"Joshua..."

She gently kissed Joshua on the lips, before going back to sleep...
