Once Saya left the hospital she demanded that she be taken to the Otonashi Memorial and left alone. Hagi argued with her, well not really, he suggested that she not be left alone. Saya demanded that she'd better be left alone inside that tomb, Hagi would have to wait for her outside despite any noise she made. There was a reason why Hagi did not want Saya to go in alone. Saya, feeling guilt, had set up a small memorial inside the tomb. Just a few candles of his favorite scent, a few written notes of Saya's remorse and passion. His mask...The mask that hid his face from her and cajoled her to believe his lies.

She entered the small stone room that she had decorated for him. She fell to her knees instantly and began to weep, her hands pressing against her stomach.

"Why?! You bastard! Why are you doing this to me?!" Saya cried. The candles in the tomb suddenly lit up and the light touched her skin. She opened her eyes and blinked; it suddenly felt warmer in the room. A chill ran up her spine despite the warmth of the tomb.

You did this to yourself, Saya.

Carl? Are you really here?

You have yet to understand that I cannot put myself in the physical world.

Get the hell out of my mind!

Why? You're in my tomb. After all, as the father of what is growing in your womb, I have right to see my bride.

Saya suddenly felt as if she gone, like she was floating. She was still in the tomb but the essence of Carl's world touched her soul. She fell to her knees and began to weep. The aroma of blue roses filled the air and the tomb's stone walls were covered with thorny vines of blue roses.

Well than...

His voice became more real and clear.

"This is much better. Don't you agree, Saya?" he appeared before her; standing over her and smirking at her impishly.

"I'm asleep, aren't I?" Saya whimpered softly, trying to sound bold.

"No, just in a trance. But you will sleep soon, and when you do, the babies will grow and once you give birth to our children...Let us just say you will be lost from your Chevalier for all time," he mocked. He knelt before her and smirked. He set his hands on her face and he gazed into her eyes...Absolute beauty, the torment and denial detailing her face. Absolutely beauty, the tears like precious jewels, her miserable expression; an angel sculpted countenance, and her implores, whimpers and screams...Much more beautiful music than Diva's singing.

"Beautiful...I assume they already know of what you and I have done?" Carl mocked. Saya screamed in anger and pushed him aside.

"Why are you doing this to me?!" Saya screamed. Carl came back to her and hugged her. He rubbed her back and solaced her with the caress.

"Saya, Saya, Saya. You're so weak when you're like this. But, the creatures in your womb compensate for that. They are a merged portion of our soul!" he exulted evilly.

"Get away!" Saya pushed him away and ran. Nonetheless, she didn't make it to the exit. Carl ran in front of her and blocked her. He would never let her evade him. She could and would be his. He neared her and tried to touch her face but Saya denied and ambled back a few steps.

"Saya, why can't you accept that a part of me is now inside you?!" he asked in a mocking tone. He gently stroked her cheek and Saya flinched away.

"Because...I HATE YOU! Please, just go!" Saya screamed. She was about to slap him but Carl grabbed her wrist. He examined her curled fingers and kissed her knuckles gently. Saya's fingertips tingled and her hand balled into a fist as his lips continued to caress her hand. When he finished, he looked at her and smirked.

"Do you remember when we first made love?" he asked passionately. Saya's eyes widened at that thought; their first consensual evening together? Had it really been out of love? Was it even consensual? Or enjoyable to think about?

"Yes," Saya cried softly. She fell to knees and Carl with her. He held her hands as she whimpered; his lips narrowed to a smirk.

"You didn't know who I was then. You had no idea I was your enemy, you did not deny. You were happy to have been my lover then," Carl said. He wiped her tears away and Saya looked up at him.

"Were you not?" Carl asked softly.

Saya...Saya...SAYA!

Saya's broke from the trance weakly. Her eyes opened and she saw Hagi; his arms were around her. Saya tried to move but couldn't; her body was being drained of all its energy. What was Carl doing to her?

"Hagi..." tears beginning to shed from her eyes. She looked so ashen and miserable; a tormented beauty. How beautiful her affliction was to her sinful lover; Carl. Hagi would do anything for Saya, but there were things even he couldn't do for her. He couldn't grant her children, a happy life, or anything more than his devotion and heart.

"Please, watch over me. I-I love you...I'm so sorry that I can't-that I can't keep my eyes open anymore..." she whispered faintly. Her eyes closed and she fell into a slumber in which she would never return.

Welcome to my world, Saya.
