"The life absorption barrier is getting weaker and weaker. Add to that the need to split the power between you two...and it's no wonder my strikes are so flimsy." Guren lifted his sword up and examine it.

"Hey, Mahiru." he called out.

"Hmm?" the said girl responded, floating in air.

"I've planted wards all over. Want me to cut off their escape route?" she smiled.

"No, they can get past the wards. Get back inside me." Mahiru's face flushed at his words, her heart beating unusually fast.

"Ooh ooh! You want me inside you?" she went closer and squealed, teasing Guren in order to hide her own flustered state.

"Guren, you're so lewd~"

"Sure sure, you two go and make out in public if you want, I'll go catch those two for you." Noya said unimpressed.

"Mahiru!" Guren called out sternly.

"Ooh! Do we get to make out? In public?" Mahiru place a hand over her mouth.

Just as Guren was about to reply, Noya voice out once more, "You guys sure love flirting in front of strangers."

Guren's eyes widened as his head snap towards the direction, sensing the familiar presence.

"It's a pity to see you turn out like this, Guren." your eyes wonder to the horns on his head.

It was a familiar presence, a familiar scent, yet everything about you seem to have changed.

"I didn't know your fiancé would let you leave his side." Guren stated.

"Kureto's not very good at keeping me. One look away and I'm already out." you added,

"Of course, if it weren't for Yuu, I don't see why I should leave him."

Your eyes trail over his overall look. His features got sharper, he got taller, too. Same purple orbs, it still mesmerized you.

"Not even for Shinya?" you were silent.

"Not even for...me?" Guren waited for your response, silence greeted him still.

His eyes were hollow and empty but he stared. He wanted to get your image printed in his mind, so that he wouldn't forget you. Though, he would love it even more if he could just see your one last smile.

Irony, for he recalls how he said he could never raise his sword against you. How he was forced to avoid you and see you downhearted because of him. How he swore to become stronger in order to protect you after having to witness you getting taken away from him.

Yet, he is the one who plunged a sharp blade in your chest.

"Oh? All the effort to obtain more power for her only to kill her yourself? You're nuts, Guren!" Noya giggled, finally, something interesting happens.

"Guren, we still have the two to chase." Mahiru reminded, her gaze down at her own twin sister.

Guren stayed still for a while before retracting his sword, letting you fall limp to the ground.

He went on searching for Mika and Yuu. Noya glance back at your body,

"Ah...it would be even more fun if she'd fight back, isn't that why she's here? She didn't even unsheathe her sword! I guess love really is blind, huh?" he mocked.

"Isn't it, Guren?" he sang, looking at his master, as expected, Guren didn't respond.

There were no tears, but he was sure his heart shattered.
