I don't own anything.

The second season of Seraph of the End is beautiful~!

10

I heard Akane's voice in my ear. It said, You can do it, Yuu-chan. We've always believed in you. All of us.

Chihiro.

Kouta.

Ako.

Fumie.

Taichi.

Mika.

I will never...forget any of them.

I felt a surge of power, most likely from them. My family would never betray me. I felt as if I could take on anything. Nothing in the world could stop me from being with Mika, saving him from the torture that he was not destined for to begin with. The affection...the sorrow...all of these mixed emotions...gave me the courage to fight on.

"Mika, run! Get to the top of the stairs!"

"No, Yuu-chan, you need to-"

"NO! MIka, I will save you this time! I have to win this battle!"

Mika sauntered over to me, before leaving. He whispered "I love you."

That was the last piece I needed, the completion of the puzzle in my mind, ending the confusion. The confusion of affection, the confusion of returned feelings, of lies, of sad endings. However, this is only the way of the world. There is no one who can change the suffocating life that is thrust upon is. One that expects us to believe in things that have not been proven, one that expects us to behave the way society has portrayed us, as humans. Life says, that if you are turned into a vampire, you are automatically evil. There is no way to reverse it, nor is there a way to escape the impending doom that awaits you. You may not complain, nor utter a word in your defense, for it will mean absolutely nothing.

I braced myself as the evil gathered a few different weapons, including knives in one hand, with both a Flail and a Morning Star in the other. It swung wildly at me, but I jumped away. All of the scars I gain from this battle will be remembered as what kind of a person I was.

No, scratch that. What kind of a person I could be...out of love. I charged towards it, without a moment's hesitation. I soon realized that I had barely scratched it. I worked my way around it, but it seemed to be immune to most of my attacks. This was good. All I need is a distraction. Mika will make it.

Even if I don't.

I looked back at him, and was reassured to see that he was almost there. The monster swung at me when I wasn't looking, and I was thrown to the side. He started going for Mika, probably to get him back...and torture him more.

I won't let that happen. I...won't.

As I run towards him, he starts to speak. It surprised me, and I stood there, my mouth gaping in awe. The first thing it said was, "Come one step closer and you'll be in the same position as him."

I had already decided to follow Mika, no matter what.

No matter what.

I stepped forward.

"So that is your decision."

He turned around, and faced me once again. He lunged for me, and I jumped out of the way. I held the sword once again, preparing to fight. I charged towards him, and the willpower I felt mixed with my unending love created a gaping hole in his stomach. He glared at me, but then disappeared. Just like that, he was gone.

I decided to run over to Mika, to see if he was okay. He was already about five steps from the top, so I ran over to join him.

"Mika…"

"Yuu-chan...we're almost ther-"

I abruptly stopped him from letting out another word, forcefully pressing my lips against his. His eyes held a look of surprise, but it soon turned to one of submission. He sighed into the kiss, and I pushed deeper. Our passion is a force that can not be rivaled. No one had the right to pull us apart, the will to go to such lengths to stop us from seeing each other. That was what I thought moments before I came here. But, people can be cruel. And there are a lot of people out there. Waiting. Not only for their chance to love someone, but for a chance to hate. Hate is the fuel society feeds on.

But, now… society is gone. I will get out of here, so that I can never see the faces of those who tried to stop us from falling in love again. I will create a bond, a force so strong that the both of us, together, could destroy any obstacle that comes in our way. We would conquer even the strongest of opponents, and the harshest conditions that were presented to us. And then we stood up.

We ran. Holding each other's hands as tightly as possible, deciding never to let go.

Without looking back, we ran. Until the only thing that we could see was the purple sunset slowly becoming darker in shade, until the stars lit up the night sky. We will never be found again. This hateful world, these hateful surroundings-

They will never reach us once more.

We ran.
