The sunlight brought sadness rather than delight to Kanata. Waking up alone in his bed, he could feel the loneliness that loomed over him. He had been using too much of his power lately, trying to tame the General Class Duras as well as conjuring up a spell that he felt would help him be able to kill Yuki. Elegy wasn't too happy about what he did. She feared that Luka would get back together with his lover now that she became female once again. Kanata didn't care about her jealousy; all he cared about was doing what was best for himself and for Reiga.

He had met Yuki as a male. He saw the younger man as his little brother since the year they met at the orphanage. Shockingly enough Kanata realized that he also grew to love Yuki in a romantic way. He saw how much he thought about him, how much he yearned for the day Yuki would leave the orphanage and be with him forever. Sentimental thoughts like that clouded his mind all because of Yuki. Had he decided to join Kanata and Reiga when asked, perhaps Kanata would have been happy.

It was almost humorous to the necromancer. He detested humans with a passion and yet a human drew him in, made him see what love was and what it felt like…In a way he wished he didn't need to kill Yuki but instead keep him alive and by his side. Though, the General Class Duras would target him for it. They wanted God's Light to be destroyed and if he were to go against it, he would end up dying by the hands of the demons he summoned.

Sighing Kanata scolded himself for thinking about Yuki. What he needed to keep his mind on was the next step to his plan. At that very moment a knock was heard at the door. "Come in," Kanata said, his voice obviously sounding exhausted. The door opened and in came the beautiful and handsome Opast, Luze Crosszeria. He had his long black hair out and his black uniform on; the very sight of him could make anyone fall to their knees in admiration.

"I came to see if you were awake," Luze began, "The General Class Duras are waiting for you." Kanata didn't say a word as he rose from his bed and made his way to the closet. Luze stayed in place, observing his master as he pulled out his usual outfit. It was then that Luze noticed the blue rose next to Kanata's bed. "Master, why do you have a blue rose in your room? Did Elegy give it to you?"

Kanata looked over at the blue rose elegantly standing within the vase. He forgot he had that there. Why did he pick it out in the first place? He hated roses. Then he remembered Yuki had always enjoyed the look of roses. He planted a few rose bushes back at the orphanage and promised Kanata that they would have a rose garden if they ever bought a house. The nostalgic feeling was a bit unbearable to ignore so Kanata decided to pick it out and make it a decoration. But he couldn't tell Luze that…

"It reminded me of you and your brother. Beautiful to look at, but dangerous at the touch." Kanata didn't miss the shocked look on Luze's face. It was almost comical. Luze averted his gaze to the side and looked as if he was trying to find the right words to say. "I'd appreciate it if you don't mention him Master…"

The tone of anger was there. The way he spit out that sentence was enough for Kanata to feel the venom within them. He wanted to pry into Luze's mind more, out of curiosity, but also to keep Luze from asking Kanata questions about Yuki. "Luze, do you hate your brother only because he betrayed your family and brought shame to your name?" It was something Kanata wanted to know. He felt as if Luze hated Luka for more than just that reason. Luze kept his eyes away from making contact with his master's.

"I also hate him for falling in love with a human…With that Yuki…" Luze never understood what Luka saw in her. There were gorgeous high rank duras from other families that he and Luka could choose from, but instead his brother chose a human, and not just any human, a human that carried God's Light. He remembered the days when Luka would arrive home after a day of killing, wearing his usual nonchalant expression and going off to report to their master. Though one day Luka returned with a different aura around him, there was something in his eyes that seemed off.

~ Flashback ~

Luze was already back home from his day of causing blood to shed. It was a routine he had grown accustomed to since he was a child. He loved the smell of blood. He loved taking a person's life and receiving praise from his master for a job well done. Looking at the blood stains that covered his clothes, Luze thought about going to wash up, but he needed to wait for Luka to return first. The twins had a very important dinner to attend to that evening. Apparently their parents had been given an invitation from a General Class family to join them for a feast. Luze knew that the ulterior motive behind the dinner was for him and Luka to meet the daughters.

Hearing the sound of the front door opening Luze looked over to see Luka entering their home. He had a peculiar look on his face. Although he was stained in blood like Luze, Luka had a distant look in his eyes, as if he were thinking about something. It was strange.

"Did something happen? You're giving off a different aura?" Luze said while keeping his eyes on Luka. The other twin contemplated for a few seconds before he responded. "Nothing of importance to you."

Luze shot him an aggravated glare. "So something did happen."

Luka stood in place with his eyes directly in contact with his brother's. "Maybe something did." Luze wanted to continue with their conversation but Luka had already made his way past him and out of the room. He couldn't easily read Luka no matter how much he wanted. They were both the same when it came to that. It was probably the only thing they had in common. Other than that, the only thing that made them stand each other was the fact that they shared the same bloodline.

Luze couldn't understand it, but he felt like things were going to change. He just didn't know what it would bring.

~ Flashback ends ~

After that, Luze started seeing less and less of Luka. He saw that his brother would leave earlier and arrive later than he did before. It never occurred to him that Luka had met God's Light and would end up betraying his family to protect her. It was Luka's fault that he now carried the shameful Bloody Cross mark on his skin. He would forever be cursed because of his brother.

Kanata could see the frustration in Luze's face. The same frustrated look Kanata would find himself making day after day when he was alone. While Luze was caught up with the memories of his twin, Kanata had yet again begun to think about the person who had melted his ice cold heart.

~ In the Twilight Mansion ~

The Zweilts, Luka, Yuki and Takashiro had a long discussion on why Yuki transformed into a female. The main possibility revolved around Reiga. This alone made them all feel uneasy. If Reiga was the one behind it, what would be the ulterior motive underneath it? Takashiro believed that by making Yuki a female again, it would be easier for Reiga to kill him. After the battles they had it was obvious to Takashiro and the Zweilts that Kanata and Reiga were hesitant to hurt Yuki. So by making him a female it would make the job easier for them both.

Hearing that made Yuki upset. He didn't want any of it to be true. He decided to excuse himself from the conversation, feeling as if his heart would break again if he stayed to listen. Yuki needed air and needed to be alone to clear his thoughts. So he made his way outside the mansion and into the backyard.

The sky seemed so far away just like Kanata. It would be a lie if Yuki said he didn't miss him. He had come to love Kanata like an older brother. Without realizing, Yuki started to cry. Perhaps they were tears that he kept forcing back since the last time he saw Kanata. It caused a deep ache to overcome his chest.

"Kanata-san…" Yuki whispered, not knowing that Luka was watching him from afar.

~ Later that day ~

Yuki decided that taking a nice bath would help him calm down. He begged Toko and Ria to let him bathe alone. Luckily they understood but told Yuki that next time they would bathe together. Taking off his towel and stepping into the warm tub, Yuki immediately felt relaxed. He closed his eyes and tried to think about anything else besides Kanata.

The first person that came to mind was Luka. Yuki recalled his moments with the Opast up until their kiss. It brought a warm feeling to his heart, knowing that Luka loved him and would do anything to protect him from harm. He found himself craving his lover's lips and his touch. While being completely distracted with thoughts of his lover, Yuki didn't hear the door to the communal bath opening.

As fast as the door opened, it closed back up while someone stood in front of it. Silently making their way towards the bath, Yuki finally heard the water's movement and felt a presence. Opening his eyes he quickly gained a look of pure surprise and horror. In front of him, naked in a communal bath was none other than the charming Zweilt, Sairi.

"We're finally alone beautiful, so why don't we try and get reacquainted?" Sairi said with a smirk.
