I thought that I would be doing this later than today but because I had my dinner at 9PM, I was prompted to finish this chapter today before going to bed. If some of you think Kiryu/Kalin is OOC, tell you what, I don't care for now because I did some research, especially the previous chapter, to put up with it and it's past my bedtime again as I publish this. Therefore, enjoy as much as you can. Still, R&R if you can so it can be helpful for me when I intend to make new chapters.

Senna's POV

So, my own brother is behind all this. I can't believe that the person who I thought of as my hero would cause such catastrophe. What would cause him to lose his sanity and make all of us thought he died and strike us back? Well, I can't rush myself although I should be avenging my mother. He had to have a reason for this. Wait up, those two duelists from earlier said he was after the treasure as well. Just what is that treasure? But knowing he's alive, I can't stop thinking of the past where the two of us always played when we were younger.

"Oi! Senna!" A boy at the age of twelve ran towards me, who was at a mere age of eight. "You looked rather bored. Oh, oh! You were practicing the use of our family's Dragunity decks, right?" The Dragunity is what we use best when dueling. I don't remember what other decks we stumble across and thus I became curious what will happen if we use decks other than our family ones. "Don't worry, sis, big bro's gonna teach you. I'm already a master of them." My brother Kaito boasted as he learned their tricks in just one day but me, being new with them, I have trouble understanding them so I end up being confused. "I swear, when we grow older, we will be the best Dragunity duo the Yamato Family has raised and nobody will be able to stop us!" I just smiled at Kaito's intense determination, making me determined to learn the tricks behind the Dragunity deck to get what my brother wanted.

Four years later, Kaito seemed different than what he used to be. Ever since a certain meeting that I shouldn't attend, he started to make a distance from me, avoiding eye contact as well as not talking to me at all. I wanted to know what that meeting was that caused Kaito to change his personality so suddenly. Now that our relationship is strained, there's no way we could achieve his "Best Dragunity Duo" dream. I tried to cheer him up but he always seems to be shoving me away, hurting me at my every attempt.

A year later, I learnt that Kaito got killed in one of his duels. The other members of the Yamato Family were searching for a reason behind his death but they got nothing. Kaito was my hero, even if he always kept a distance from me, he taught me how to use the Dragunity monsters I have in a near-perfect way. However, a week prior to his death, more of the Yamato Family suffered the same fate. As I saw people in black cloaks enter our only home, lives are lost. Before my parents tried to take me to safety, my mother stayed behind, being the current queen, to help the others and before we depart, she gave my father some items which I couldn't see and we got separated afterwards. As the massacre ended, everything is lost, the members of the Yamato Family, my brother, and most of all, my mother whom I loved the most. My father took me to a place where we are less likely to be found by the ones who killed them until we ended up somewhere in the frontier, where Crash Town is quite near our temporary home. My father is also smart that to him, Crash Town is a hell-zone that we avoid stepping into that town at all cost. After three more years, Crash Town changed as the King of Duelists came to that town. After his arrival, things looked better and its name has changed to Satisfaction Town.

Now here I am, at the outskirts of the town, staring at the locket my father gave me at his dying breath. No matter how much effort I put, I can't open the locket, I wonder if it is broken or something. Never mind that, this thing is actually my mother's most prized possession, being a small, white, oval shaped one adorned with a pale blue dragon at the centre of it. Looking at the sky, it is full of stars, reminding me of how my mother will always sing to me whenever I'm feeling down and I remember that whenever she does that, the night sky is always filled with stars. Reciting the lyrics of that very song that soothes me, I hum its lyrics.

Kiryu's POV

I didn't expect Senna's brother to be behind what she had suffered. I caused Yusei and the others to suffer because of a misunderstanding that I became a Dark Signer, giving them pain. After knowing the truth, I became guilty that I've come as far as attempting a suicide through a duel. But after what Yusei, the children and their father did for me, I've regained my will to live. Senna is more of an angel that she doesn't deserve to go through that. From the question she asked at our first conversation, I can assume she lost someone she held dearly and the memory of her family's death is still with her, haunting her for life. These kinds of duelists like the ones we encountered will not stop going after her until they get the said treasure. During our duel, when I first took battle damage, the damage was real so I was ensuring that nothing happened to Senna because she is what they wanted, making me throw myself in front of her when Gladiator Beast Octavius was about hit her with a direct attack, using myself as her shield. For some reason, I didn't want my angel to get hurt that I didn't know what to do when she actually took Gladiator Beast Darius' hit. There is one thing certain to me, if we can stop her brother, she doesn't need to get hurt badly but since this is a family dispute, there's nothing I can do to prevent her from making a death wish when facing her brother.

After recovering my back from that duel, in which Octavius struck me at, I went to the outskirts to look for Senna, who seems to be confused upon learning that her brother is actually alive and took away several lives like I did when I was a Dark Signer. Her brother somehow reminds me of my Dark Signer self, I made Yusei suffer whilst he made Senna suffer. Anyhow, the reason behind his acts will be known in due time. Within the outskirts, I can hear someone humming a song while holding onto something, finding out that Senna is the one humming the song.

Normal POV

Senna can tell easily that someone is around that she instantly turned around, stopped with her humming and finding Kiryu behind her. After a moment of awkward silence, Senna nodded at him, allowing him to sit beside her. When he came and sat by her left, she just stared at the stars, thinking about her mother as well as how to deal with Kaito, knowing that he won't stop until he either gets the treasure or she joins the rest of the fallen ones.

"Is that locket important to you?" Kiryu asked Senna, who was still holding onto it.

"Yeah, it used to belong to my mother. But no matter what I do with it, I can't open it. Probably something important is in it." Senna made another attempt at opening the locket but it wouldn't budge. "It's okay though, it is the only thing to remind me of her. She would always be there for me when I need it and she would sing to me a song to calm me down."

"Can you… sing that song to me?" As Kiryu made that request, Senna became surprised as her mother never told her if it is okay to sing that song to someone not of the Yamato Family and she was afraid if her own singing voice doesn't sound well as she never sang at all. But in order to repay him for offering her a place to stay and to help her with her duel with the mysterious duelists, she had no choice but to actually do it. Before she starts, she stands up, closes her eyes and takes a deep breath, nervous about singing for someone for the first time.

On the hill you love

I'm surrounded by the gentle

And I hope that the days I spent with you last forever

"Hey, the morning is coming now"

Gently you talked to me

Just that alone made me feel your kindness

As Senna continues singing the song her mother always sang to her when she was still alive, Kiryu stood up and stood by her side.

No matter how much I felt uneasy

You were always by my side

I didn't realize but I relied on you I just adore your manly back

Under the azure sky I walked with you

I held your hand holding mine tightly

Thanks to you who are always watching me by my side

For this moment, Kiryu held onto Senna's hand and held it tightly, causing her to open her eyes and stare at him because what he is doing somehow incorporates with the song itself, making a blush appear on her face. Kiryu looked backed at her and smiled, making her blush harder she immediately looks at the sky filled with stars and a moon.

"Hey, we can see stars now

That's the river of the heaven"

Tenderly you smiled

I loved your profile

The wind swayed the trees

We were surrounded by the moonlight

You defenselessly fell asleep

Your back I tenderly touched was warm

Knowing how this song goes, Senna believes that the song is trying to give her a message combining with Kiryu's gestures. He talked to her gently, he is always by her side, holds onto her hand tightly and his tender smile proved enough. With that known to Senna, she replied to his gesture by holding his tightly as well.

To smile as ever

You carried everything on your shoulder

Your affections surround me strongly with tenderness

On the hill where the stars fall

I should never forget

The memory and the star I looked upon with you hand in hand

As Senna finishes her song, this has got to be the best memory she attained that she couldn't stop herself from smiling when she realized she also fell in love with him. How? She believed that he is the only person to care, not from her appearance but as herself; she didn't want him and the children he looks after suffer the same fate; he even protected her from Octavius' attack, injuring himself in her place, making her very guilty. That's enough proof for herself.

"I didn't expect that what you're doing and the environment we're in blends into this song very well." Senna speaks, trying to get into a conversation to inform that she is done singing.

"Surprising, isn't it? I have to admit, that song has satisfied me a lot. You sounded like an angel." Senna couldn't help herself but blush at his comment. He then thought about how Kaito would possibly want her dead in order to get what he wants. He was thinking if he alone can stop him to prevent her from dying. "Senna, I have another request." She wondered what he wants so she turned to face him, making him place his hands onto her cheeks and inching his face a bit closer to hers, causing her to blush a million shades of red as she is able to feel his breath. "I would like you to be my angel. As the God of Death, I'm always stuck in darkness that I sometimes wanted to see the light. With you, I am able to have the light I want."

When Kiryu confesses to her indirectly, her eyes soften, becoming slightly watery as tears are about to fall that she nods to acknowledge his request. Happy with her acceptance, he closes the distance between their lips making a warm and passionate kiss. Kiryu places one of his hands onto the back of her head with the other one around her waist whereas Senna wraps her arms around his neck, deepening it. When Kiryu's tongue gets into contact with her lip, requesting for entry into her mouth, she willingly allows him that he makes use of his tongue to enter immediately and search in every single spot in her mouth, earning moans from Senna. When the need of air kicks in, they were forced to break it as much as they want this moment to last longer than that.

"I promise you, my angel, I will not let Kaito or his duelists cause you more of that pain you already had." Kiryu placed his forehead onto Senna's as he made his promise to her. As much as Senna wouldn't want him to end up like them, he is seriously willing to throw himself to protect her.

"Can you also promise me that you won't get yourself killed because of me?" Senna's eyes become even more watery due to tears threatening to fall, knowing how he might end up if Kaito is not stopped at all cost. As his eyes told her he also promises her that followed by a kiss on her forehead, Senna places her hands and her head onto his chest, feeling the steady beating of his heart, whilst Kiryu puts his chin onto her head and wraps his arms around her, pulling her into a loving embrace.

"Looks like we can trust him now. Right, Meyrink?" Dragunity Paladin Yayoi spoke up, causing Kiryu to be surprised upon hearing a voice coming clearly from someone he didn't know of.

"Way to go, Yayoi, you just became a cock blocker. Things are beginning to get pretty." Dragunity Paladin Lockon whined as he was enjoying this. Also, to Kiryu, the Dragunity Paladins begin to materialize in front of him.

"No need to worry about us, Kiryu Kyosuke. We prefer to remain low-key but since we trust you, we can let you see us. We actually have the ability to allow certain people to see us because we are the sole guardians of Princess Senna of the Yamato Family. We are the Dragunity Paladins. I'm Meyrink, the other female is Yayoi and the male one is Lockon." As Kiryu remains speechless, Senna starts laughing at his reaction, thinking that this is what people get if the three suddenly allow him/her to see them. Kiryu then smiles at her. He is truly satisfied, now that Senna has finally become his angel.

Yay! Now I'm done and you get to know some of my OC's history along the way. Another cheesiness, I presume, but this is my FIRST time attempting this kind of romantic scene so easy with the comments here.

Earlier, I said there would be a songfic so let me tell you that the featured song is "Stardust Memory ~A Place of Promise~" from Blazblue. As I finally found the translated version and attempted to sing this version, I have to say it becomes romantic, fitting into this fanfic perfectly. I don't own this song and Kanako Kondo, you rock! XD

Lastly, when you do R&R, suggestions are opened. And I intend to make Kaito's deck the Six Samurai one, since I'm not used to them, a little help is appreciated. I'll also provide the three Dragunity Paladins' and Kusanagi's (if you read her profile, that is) effects as I want them to appear in at least Senna's duel against Kaito and the final duel.

Bye-bi~
