The Fourth Fate

by thePeppermint

Suppose everything has a reason why it happens...then was Yui "fated" to be the sacrificial bride? None of this was her choice. What did she do to deserve such a fate? What if all this happened because of a tragic accident that happened long ago? What is all the secrets behind all this? And who will save the day? (on hiatus)

Chapter 10

Do I have to repeat myself? DL isn't mine, it's Rejet's, but this plot and the original characters are mine.

Ayato wasn't too happy about having to investigate, but he was glad that he was able to do it alone. He didn't get along well as they used to when they were young with Kanato and Laito, and he definitely didn't get along well with the others.

They weren't much help in the field either. Kanato was too hysteric most of the time, Laito was perspective but he wasn't exactly skilled in fighting in emergency. That Subaru was too hot-headed and the eldest one would never lift a finger even if he was forced to come along. Reiji was needed at the house more so he stayed at the Sakamaki manor, and Ayato was rather glad that he did.

Ayato was currently following the track of one of the fiends that he had purposely let go. He wasn't surprised when he found the track leading him to the Path of Tesseract. It just confirmed his suspicion that whoever controlling the fiends could not indeed not be a normal human. It didn't make whatever he was to do any easier, but it make more sense.

To do his job to the fullest, and to keep whoever was aiming Yui, his Yui, away, he went further into the Path. It would be much much better if he could get rid of that person or thing. 'Just to make sure so I don't lose my prey,' he thought.

He kept on following the trail in the Path and stopped when he reached something that seemed like a shrine. The shrine was mixture of the European church and East-Asian temples.

He stayed silently in the shadows of the forest, when he saw the fiend he had let go reach the gates of the shrine. The gates opened and a hooded figure came out. The person stroke the horse-like fiend at the side of its head, and whispered something into its ear. The fiend, then ran away.

Ayato was about to follow the fiend, but something hit him hard in the back of his head. He fell down. Before he lost his consciousness, he saw a girl in red stooping down to him, "You've done enough for now, boy," said the girl. After that, he saw darkness.
