Chiaki could not believe what he had just heard, on one hand he was glad about newfound ability, on the other hand it couldn't have happened at a worse time. "Still the calm with which he was handling this even though it is obvious he is angry is admirable," he thought. He couldn't believe Naoes' stupidity though, he knew that something had changed between the two of them on the last trip for the better and to see Naoe screw it all up like this, even he could understand Kagetoras' anger.

Yuzuru looked at his friend in sympathy, beneath the rage he could see the pain that Takaya was feeling, he knew of the decision his friend had made to give Naoe this chance and to see it all blow up in his face like this was painful to watch. To make it all worse was the fact that Takaya had practically seen it first hand through his vision only made it worse. He wished he could help his friend but he knew that there was nothing he could do, this was between the two of them. Still if Takayas' current display of control was anything to go by , maybe they still gad a chance, emphasis on the maybe.

Haruie looked from Naoe to Kagetora with despair and sympathy. For this to happen now when Takaya was finally beginning to accept that he was Kagetora and , according to what Naoe had told her, had given Naoe a chance to regain his trust as well as his heart, this was the worst possible thing that Naoe could have done. She could literally feel the rage pouring off Kagetora, tigers eyes not withstanding. This time even she blamed Naoe , "how could he be so stupid.?"

The silence continued on , each deep in their own thoughts until finally Kagetora got up, with his tea in his hand and said, "Naoe will you join me in the kitchen for a moment?"he said calmly before walking off into the kitchen. He didn't bother looking to see if Naoe was following, he knew he would. Naoe slowly got to his feet and followed. The others just watched as they walked out of the room.

In the kitchen...

Kagetora slowly walked to the sink and slowly placed his cup in it. He heard Naoe enter the room and he turned around to look at him. "So tell me Naoe , how was your night? From the mark on your neck I would say it was better than mine." Naoe looked at him but he didn't respond so he continued, " well nothing to say Naoe ? No confession of love?" Naoe walked up to him until he was close enough to touch him. He looked at him and said, "Kagetora -sama I'm so sorry," and something in Kagetora snapped, he raised his hand and back handed Naoe so hard, he flew across the room connected with the wall before sliding to the ground.

"You bastard," he yelled at Naoe, "how could you do this?" he screamed. The others had heard the loud thud and ran into the room to see what was going on. They heard Kagetora yell and saw him making his way to the fallen man. Chiaki and Yuzuru grabbed him to stop him and tried to calm him down to no avail. Naoe was still conscious as Haruie made her way to him. Tears were running down his face, from pain or guilt no one could say for sure. There was a slight cut on his arm that was bleeding and Haruie quickly got a bandage and started to help him.

Pain and anger went through Kagetoras' body in waves, all he could see was Naoe and Masashi in bed together. "How could you do this again? Wasn't betraying me with Minako enough?" he screamed, " I sealed my memories for you and yet you betray me again," his voice broke, his eyes returned to normal and tears were flowing down his face, "oh god how could you do this Naoe ?" he cried. Yuzuru and Chiaki looked at the crying boy and released him. He slid to the floor as if he no longer had the strength to even stand. Neither Chiaki or Yuzuru had ever seen him cry before and they were at a loss as to what to do. There hearts broke for him. Even Haruie had stopped bandaging Naoes' arm to look at him. The three of them realized that Naoe had finally managed to do what four hundred years of suffering and fighting could not, he had completely broken Uesugi Kagetora.

Kagetora continued to cry brokenly as he said, " you whore, you told me you loved me and I believed you. I gave you the chance you wanted and this how you prove it?" he sobbed, his whole body shaking with the power of he sobs. It was heart wrenching to watch.

He cried on, every few seconds muttering, "slut ," or "whore" until he said brokenly, " I can still see you Naoe, oh God I can still you kissing him, touching him, sucking him you slut. I can still see you fucking him. Oh god you even came here with his mark on you to be with me," and with that he screamed. Yuzuru bent down and helped him to stand and then lead out of the room to his bedroom.

Through all this Naoe just sat there leaning against the wall just listening to Kagetora and silently crying. He knew that this time he had no one to blame for this except himself for what he had done.

He watched as Yuzuru led Kagetora to his room. The boy looked broken as if he had lost all hope. Naoe tried to get up but was unable to do so. Haruie spoke in a firm voice, " now is not the time Naoe, you have a mild concussion and im gonna take to the guest room to lay down for a bit. I know you want to go to Kagetora but I think you've done enough to him for today without upsetting him anymore." she then helped him up to the stairs and helped to the bed. After he laid down and she was sure he was comfortable she walked out and went to check on Takaya. He was lying on the bed crying to himself silently she called his name and got no reaction. It was as if he had retreated to a place deep inside him. Yuzuru sat in a chair and watched him silently to make sure he wouldn't hurt himself.

She retreated and went downstairs to find Chiaki. He had finish clearing up the table and was now sitting on the sofa waiting for her. "How are the both?" He asked quietly, "I've never seen Kagetora-sama like this before, I think that Naoe may have finally broken him."

Haruie nodded silently and went to sit beside him.
