Bond of 1000 Years
Chapter 1: Takashiro and Regia
Takashiro was looking out the car window as it drove down the roads back to the twilight mansion. He was looking forward to seeing the young zweilt and Yuki as always but he was enjoying the idea more due to Yuki's 18 birthday being today. Yuki not being selfish said he would be fine as long as they were together so Ibuki, Yuki's aunt and the zweilts had planned a party for him and Takashiro knew he was looking forward to it.
I imagine Luka though he would never admit it to anyone but Yuki is having fun just simple watching him...as always...
But there...is one thing I'm worried about...Yuki will no doubt try to hide it from everyone but...Regia no...Kanata has always been there on birthdays...until now that is...I'm sure Luka will notice if it gets him to down...well what can be done? For Regia to be reborn and raised around him...I still don't know how or why...fate is cruel...
"You seem lost in thought Takashiro-sama, is something wrong?" Takashiro looked to the driver's seat were Ibuki sat driving while smiling, "No just thinking of how Yuki will react to the mount of present you and your sister have bought, his reactions I fell will be very similar" at Takashiro reply Ibuki giggled. "Yes I apologise we bought a lot but we haven't had the chance before now, so I think we just got carried away." Ibuki blushed a little and Takashiro smiled and said "No need to apologize Ibuki, moreover he'll be very happy I assure you" she nodded and said "Yes your right thank you for letting me shop before we came Takashiro-sama."
"Tell me Ibuki...is Yuki like you thought he might be?" she glanced in the mirror but put her eyes back on the road and said "In most ways yes because he is similar to his mother but for him to be so accepting, even of Regia's story, so much so that he wants to know everything he can from both of you...I find it amazing and yet as his aunt worrying of course. Why do you ask?" he looked back out the window as he spoke "I was curious if I was the only one surprised by his attachment to Regia even after all he has done...but I am glad it seems I'm not being curious for nothing. God's light was never so excepting before of Regia but then they never grew up together before so who knows, maybe I am thinking too much. I hope you don't mind Ibuki I think I'll rest for a while."
Takashiro closed his eyes as Ibuki wished he would sleep well and it wasn't long for once before Takashiro final feel asleep.
I wish I could feel that way still...I wish I could still want to know...why you do not stop...Regia...
Don't you...want the war to end peaceful to...if possible...or am I giving you credit...when you have already told me not to...

"Takashiro-sama!" Ibuki screamed as he opened his eyes but everything went dark. He felt the car spin and topple as Ibuki dodge whatever incoming danger she had sensed but he had reacted to late trying to reach for his Grimwore the Key of Solomon.
Takashiro was already being healed by the duras within but that didn't stop him from feeling the pain, he somehow with Ibuki's help he assumed ended up on the roadside. He could hear gunshots which he had no doubt were her influence and a few yards away closer to their abandoned now on fire car, he saw his Grimwore lying face down.
He decided to move despite the pain for if it was a strong duras or Regia Ibuki would need his help eventually but he was having trouble for whatever hit them had caused a massive wound to Takashiro's front and the more he moved the blurrier his vision got.
Damn...at this rate...even I will have trouble stay conscious...and what does that say...for Ibuki...
Just as he thought this he heard her before he saw her thrown back into a wall near the on fire car. She was still awake and still trying to move but barely able to. Takashiro knew the wounds she had were an Opasts doing or worst from one look and she wouldn't be standing much longer if she kept moving. "Ibuki! No you can't..." It surprised him that she was smiling at him, "I called them Takashiro-sama I just have to hold it off till then...so it's fine" she said it with a drop of blood running from her mouth.
No not fine...You're not fine at all...her strong will is keeping her up...but that won't last forever her body will give out before the Zweilts get here...
"Please Ibuki stop..." she stood as the Opast in question came out from behind the car standing on its wrecked frame. "Damn your annoying women! I hate stubborn women but at least despite how you look you fight a good fight eh? So there's the Giou leader...just move and I might let you live?" Ibuki wasn't listening though she raised her Gun after reloading it again, "Do I look that easy to convince to you Opast?" in response it laughed and said "Your funeral!"
She dodge well and shot for the Opast with perfect aim but it was too quick, it had speed that Ibuki did not and she knew it. Ibuki was hit so quickly even Takashiro wasn't sure what happened she was stepped on, right where her open wound was and despite her best effort a small scream came out. "See women are good for screaming that's about it, I'll keep you alive so you can scream for him while I chop him into little human/parasite pieces how's that sound?" this just made Ibuki more mad it seemed though as Takashiro was almost near his Grimwore she knew this would be over soon but she had to keep the Opast attention a little more.
She struggled to make it look like she was still in pain so the Opast would stay and torture her for a while longer but it caught on soon enough.
Almost...there...
"AHHHHHHHHHH" Ibuki screamed again but this time it was so much more painful and louder that Takashiro looked at her by instinct, he shouldn't have though because the duras wanted that and Takashiro knew straight away when he did it. Ibuki had been pulled up and the Opast had cut her neck deeply. "So here we are I'll tell you what come here but without you're grimwore and I'll heal the wounds, and leave her safe and sound? No in that case it will be dinner time, I mean she is part of the Giou clan after all...she'll be more than power full enough to help me fell strong for a while" Takashiro hated to admit it but he couldn't do anything now.
What am I thinking? There is...no way this Duras won't help himself to her after me...But it like...signing her death certificate...I need to think and fast...she'll bleed out...at this rate...
The Opast took one step closer still holding Ibuki up the whole way to Takashiro, he held out his hand and cast a spell Takashiro hadn't heard in years. It would erase powerful spells, even Giou forbidden ones in return of some energy, the catch the forbidden power if to strong would overtake you instead but being a Opast Takashiro had no doubt he was strong enough to wield, even take over the Parasites duras.
Damn...no...
The parasite left Takashiro's body before he could do anything, it was agonizing and though most of his wounds had been healed he was fade in and out of consciousness. Just as he saw the duras lean over him, he was surprised that the next moment the Duras was gone and a familiar feeling of coldness went through him. Though for once he couldn't help but think it was a nice feeling to feel, so familiar if he was going to die surely by his hand it should be after all this time.
Regia...

Regia was in a bad mood and that was putting it nicely. He had decided to punish Candenzer for the smallest things he could find just because of this, though it wasn't helping much and he knew why. An Opast he had summoned had attack Takashiro without permission, having gotten bored of waiting and so Regia had to go after him. It was fortunate God's light wasn't there because whether he liked it or not he would have reason to attack then.
Though the Opasts did not know it was actually Yuki's birthday, which he decided so he didn't become conflicted he wouldn't start a fight on. As for Takashiro, he was as usual his biggest annoyance and that dammed Opast he summoned was the cause.
I used it as an opportunity to capture Takashiro...but I don't won't him here...I just realized...that cursed Opast had undone his forbidden spell...I can't win this fight if the Giou clan leader dies like this...
Regia walked into the bedroom he had been keeping the currently asleep Takashiro, the wounds were mostly healed but he'd be in pain when he woke up and for that reason Regia had bought medicine, not for free but an offer Takashiro might think about.
Regia was surprised to see Takashiro start to wake up when he placed the bottle down, so he quickly made himself look stoic and ice-cold as always.
"You're awake? That was fast even for you..." Regia stated as a sleepy Takashiro looked confusedly up at him, he realized it was Regia and moved to get back but struck by pain everywhere he fell back to the bed screaming out. "You...What did you do Regia?" Takashiro asked clearly angry that he couldn't move.
"I...know that pain is the Opasts doing by removing the parasite in such a risky way, though he had no reason to be careful. You should be grateful, had I gotten there any later you would be long dead and Opast would have waited for the zweilt and God's light to arrive I'm sure. How is Yuki...not a great birthday not knowing where you are I imagine at least his aunt survived I hear" Regia said all of this as he helped Takashiro lay on his front whether he wanted to or not.
"You summoned the Opast right so why?" Regia shook his head at Takashiro's question "Apparently he couldn't wait till tomorrow when the rest of my preparations would be done and now he ruined that plan" Regia then picked up the glass with medicine and said "Drink this...it'll heal what is left of your injures and take the edge off the pain" but Takashiro simply shook his head.
Takashiro looked up at Regia and spoke "Do you really think I will just believe you Regia?" Regia's ice-blue eyes glared down at him as he sat next to him "Fine be difficult...that is nothing I am not used to by now" Takashiro was about to ask him what he meant when he felt something soft and wet on his lips and mouth, Regia was kissing him and not moving till he swallowed the mouthful of medicine whole.
"Get off..." angry he tried hitting Regia but he was too weak Regia moved however and said "There that wasn't so hard was it? It will work so rest and I let you go after you answer a few questions of course" Regia then sat up straight "What questions?" Takashiro asked curious for once but Regia hesitated.
'Knock Knock'
"Who is it?" Regia asked towards the door and Candenzer's voice came back "Regia-sama the Giou clan has ordered the Zweilts to attack like you thought but seems God's light might have been ordered to stay behind" Takashiro look at the door.
No...there is no need for them to come looking for me now...Yuki is far more important...
At least he isn't with them...but if any of them get hurt...
"I see...What of the Bloody Zess? Has he visited also" Regia asked glaring at the door as Candenzer laughed slightly "Yes seems so, me, Luze and Elegy can handle them, please continue to entertain your guest" Regia replied quickly "No I will join soon and deal with the Bloody Zess quicker, Luze is not available being with the King, your dismissed" there was no reply but Candenzer was gone in moments.
Takashiro tried to move but couldn't so he spoke "Regia leave them be, you know they will only get hurt without my help even with Luka there" Regia picked up his Grimwore and glared at Takashiro again as he spoke "I will do as I see fit" Regia reach out to point at Takashiro and said "Sleep" before he could even try to fight it the spell made him drift off into slumber.

Takashiro woke up much later on and just as Regia had said his wounds were now gone. Whatever he had to ask must be important enough...if he is keeping alive...but what could it be...
Takashiro stood to go to the bathroom, he washed the dirt and blood of himself realizing for the first time in 1000 years he was him again something he never thought would happen, he thought he would die with that parasite in his body.
What a strange feeling...relief as well as...worry...I will have to be more careful now...I wonder how they got on...just what is Regia thinking...
He stepped out and after drying off a little he placed a robe on to wear, since there was nothing else but the clothes he taken off and they were well fabric more than clothes now. He was drying his hair when he heard Regia come into the room yelling at Candenzer who was not far behind.

"I told you...to leave Zess to me and yet because the black sword Zweilt wasn't there you got bored and decided to literally get in my way! What is wrong with you Opasts? Are trying to get on my last nerve Candenzer!?" Regia was fuming and even to Takashiro it was clear why, he had a wound to the head which was small but bleeding a lot. Candenzer came further into the room and spoke out "Forgive me Regia-dono I thought it would not matter as long as he was dead" and taking his coat off and placing a wet rag to his cut Regia replied "Well you didn't kill him did you? Instead you got beaten and I had to save you...I swear it is good the zweilts were too tired to continue or I might just have let them finish you off this time"
Takashiro knew it took a lot to get Regia angry enough to actually show his anger so it surprised him he was letting Candenzer see this side of him but he obviously had disobeyed orders which didn't help anyone.
Takashiro was the first to notice the weird air around Candenzer, he saw him smile and somehow he just knew something wasn't right. Candenzer came up behind Regia bowed with his hand on his heart "Forgive me Regia-dono; you have every right to be angry. You wound is deep since it is my fault so I will help it heal" before Regia could look back at him and react Candenzer had already sunk his fangs deep into his neck, though he quickly pushed him off.
"What the hell are you...?" Regia tried to ask but simple feel to his knees shaking, it was clear his body was no longer doing what he wanted. "You can't see because of where the bloody Zess hit you, you're reactions are slower and so I took a chance I've been waiting for" Candenzer threw his coat and gloves off as he walked over to Regia. He picked Regia up like a rag doll and threw him down on the bed.
"You've know that I've had an interest in your power and beauty for a while now, you even interest Luze like puzzle we can't figure out and that is rare." Takashiro listed as it was clear Regia was getting more angry he wasn't sure what Candenzer was up to yet either. "What's your point Candenzer?" He said clearly struggling to move as Candenzer tide his hands together "You already should know, I mean that's why you left the Giou clan right? Couldn't face the idea of being forced again? Well then you shouldn't have let down your guard. Don't worry unlike the Giou clan I will heal you're wounds in turn for every scream you make for me" Regia Glared at him furious "Get off me now!" he yelled.
Takashiro wondered where this was going, he left because he was forced to do something and Candenzer wants to force him to...What was he forced to do? And for what?
Takashiro took a better look, he was surprised by what he was seeing and didn't understand even more now. Candenzer had forced his mouth onto Regia's and kissing him roughly he ripped Regia's clothes down the front, biting him as he moved down to his neck to his front and Regia unfortunately was reacting. "Do you like my venom Regia? It always provides pleasure even if my prey doesn't want it at first; it'll get to painful though if you keep fighting it" Candenzer was enjoying teasing Regia and his patience "Candenzer I'm only going to ask once more, Get off..." but Candenzer just laughed.
"What's the matter Regia-Sama? Nothing wrong with some fun now and then ah...or are you worried that this will bring back memories of What the Giou elders did to you?" Regia looked shocked but furious again and asked "How do you even know about that anyway?" Candenzer replied with a smile "I'll tell you what you cum for me and answer any of your questions sound good?"
Takashiro was somehow more shocked than Regia when he did what he did next; he flipped Regia onto all fours and placed his hard wet length on Regia's unprepared pink hole. "Make sure you scream for me, which should be easy since you still have a virgin hole" Candenzer licked his lips and Regia couldn't even protest before it was too late.
Takashiro was so confused and shocked by what was happening he only snapped out of it because of Regia's agonizing scream, Candenzer wasn't hold back at all a thrust deep and painfully fast so much so that even the pain was showing even on Regia's face he kept going despite any attempts from Regia to fight back, or the screams.
Takashiro's body acted on its own he grabbed a knife from the table and before Regia or Candenzer had notice he had cut into him deep in the back. Candenzer moved out of the way before Takashiro hit him again but Takashiro was ready if he came back towards them "You...Where the hell did you come from? How rude...can't you tell you're interrupting?" Candenzer said clearly angry. Takashiro replied calmly though "I think you raping him is more rude but who knows this is infernos and the rules are different" Takashiro looked back at Candenzer "I think you should leave Candenzer, trust me when I say this knife will be more than enough to make you if you don't go on your own now"
Candenzer laughed and spoke "Fine...but to think you'd save him, you could have gotten away while we were busy...whatever always next time" Candenzer had obviously had enough for one day as he didn't put much of a fight when it came to leaving at all. After he was gone Takashiro turned around quickly to check on Regia but was surprised to see how beaten he was "Regia I'm sorry I was as curious as to what was going on before I knew it he was doing the last thing I'd even thought of"
While undoing Regia's wrists he looked up surprised "Regia...You're crying?" however it appeared he hadn't even noticed himself till Takashiro said so as he looked surprised and down. "Takashiro...I don't think I can keep fighting it...why did you help?" Regia asked still crying and Takashiro was about to answer when Regia spoke again "Everyone else didn't...I don't understand..." Regia slumped to the side and fell unconscious.

He still hasn't woken...It has been a whole day and despite wanting to just leave...I knew I couldn't...Regia was crying...not once have I seen that... it was like he showed me...a side of him...I didn't even know he had...What happen to you Regia?
Regia began to open his eyes slightly but despite being in obvious pain he sat up quickly as Takashiro spoke "Regia you can't move like that yet, your wounds are terrible and..." however Regia Interrupted "I can tell, but that is nothing new...if I don't move how am I suppose to shower?" He tried to stand but Takashiro could tell he wasn't going anywhere. "I swear Regia even after all these years, it still kills you to ask for help doesn't it" Takashiro said this and before Regia could answer he lifted him up and walk a protesting Regia into the shower.
"I don't need your help..." Regia said as Takashiro set the water "Yes I'm sure you'll be just fine but since you can barely move I'll stay here just in case" Takashiro finished.
Takashiro was helping Regia to clean himself up, surprisingly to Takashiro he had stopped protesting to know he was getting cleaner however Takashiro was still surprised by badly Regia was hurt, there was barely a place that wasn't bruised and though he hadn't asked he knew where most of the blood was coming from. "Regia I know you'll want to say no but I need to wash and treat your wounds alright you can't do it yourself" he was waiting for the protest to begin however Regia didn't say anything he just moved onto all fours so Takashiro could see.
This is...he has deep cuts...I don't think the cream will be enough...I thought it be bad but...now I really wish I hurt Candenzer more...not that would solve anything...
"It won't heal with just that will it?" Regia asked so Takashiro replied "No I don't think it will can you think of a spell to help you heal quicker from this? At least take the pain away a little" Regia sat and looked at him. "No, well there is one but I'd doubt it work even if it was an option" Regia said simply, Takashiro carried him back into the bedroom and started to help him dry and change into a robe. "What is it? I could try if you want?" Takashiro asked about the spell again and Regia surprisingly smiled "Trust me you won't want to try"
"Regia...What Regia was saying before, about why you left the clan I don't really understand what he meant? Will you tell me or is it something you won't again..." Regia looked a little torn when Takashiro said that which made Takashiro feel almost guilty for asking. Takashiro was going to just let go when Regia spoke "You won't like it Takashiro, I decided not to tell you 1000 years ago for that reason only, it seems unfair somehow to tell you now."
