The Story:

Waiting was always the hardest part. He was not a patient creature by nature; this past month had been a trying exercise in and of itself, one he was more than ready to be done with. The reappearance of Cordelia Chase had been the first sign that things would have to change soon; there was no fooling her for long, and he was positive she was already getting the word out. If she hadn't done it already, then she'd have picked up on Saki Hanajima screaming for help over the network-- other people might not have been convinced, but Cordelia knew how he operated. She'd believe her. That meant biding his time was no longer an option.

Fine by him. He'd been getting bored, anyway.

It's 10:05 when he leans back against the door to Tohru Honda's room, arms casually folded across his chest, legs crossed at the ankle as he lets the door itself prop him up, half-hidden by the shadows as he fixed his gaze on the end of the hallway, just waiting for any sign of the diner's proprietress. She was a brave girl, warned against him and still she ventured out of her room, despite the fact that the threshold was the only thing that could, technically, keep her safe, if he weren't creative enough to smoke her out. He couldn't cross it on his own without an invitation, but there was no metaphysical law saying he couldn't throw something in.

10:06. A sliver of light appears at the end of the hallway as the diner door swings open, and he waits.

Tohru can't move back any further than she already has. She's pressed up against the wall, and she's trembling.

She wants to cry, but she does not yet. She just looks at him with terror all over her face. He won't compromise, and he has her cornered. For once, she can't read the situation (or truthfully, she's afraid to).

"What...Wh-What are you going to do?" she asks, her voice shaking.
