Yoshimori and Tokine had their hands full with all the Ayakashi falling from the sky, but they didn't expect what was to happen next. From their spot they see Miya riding an Ayakashi heading towards them, with her head bowed down. The Kokuboro watch with amusement as she makes way towards them clenching her fist.

"Miya?" Yoshimori shouts catching Gen's attention. Gen emerges from his spot in a tree and looks up at her watching as the other Ayakashi circle around her and then continue to come down to the site.

"There's so many!" Tokine shouts forming Kekkai here and there. Miya jumps off the Ayakashi flipping a few times in the air before landing a few feet in front of them on one leg. They pause what they're doing and stare at her puzzled for she hasn't said a word or even lifted her head. But Gen notices something completely different about her. A strange aura, sending an ominous and chilling vibe throughout the air. Gen finally calls her name making her lift her head up slowly.

"How interesting…" Kaguro says while laughing slightly. Gagin positions himself to jump down next.

"Kill him."

Miya stares at Gen for what seems like days. He just stands there with his mouth slightly open noticing how Miya's eyes are now glowing a light green, showing her Ayakashi self is partially immerged.

"Miy-"He starts to say, but in a blink of an eye Miya has sped by him and he feels a sudden pain on his shoulder, followed by blood splattering on his face. He turns around quickly feeling her coming at him again and blocks her punches. But Miya doesn't change her blank expression. "Miya what are you doing?" Gen snaps before blocking another one of her hits.

"Aag!" She shouts transforming her human hands into her panther paws with sharp claws. His eyes widen at the sight as he remembers the last time he saw those. Confirming his assumptions that she remembered again. But why was she trying to injure him, was the only thing running through his mind. Miya speeds by him several times as he looks over and sees Yoshimori and Tokine with their hands full again. Gen suddenly gets punched in the face and flies back slamming his back into a tree. He lifts his head up slowly looking into Miya's eyes before jumping out of the way as she slams her fist against the spot he was just at, and making the tree split in two.

"Wow what'd you do?" Shino asks looking over at Byaku who is concentrating on the fight.

"I simply gave her a boost."

…...

"Miya control yourself what's gotten into you!" Gen shouts before blocking another attack. He was starting to think there was no other choice but to knock her unconscious. He had already transformed his hands in order to block her hits, but he didn't want to have to result in injuring her. But Miya looked totally out of it. She was leaving cuts all over his body and was showing no sign of sympathy or any emotion for that matter. Gen was getting very suspicious and angry and knew the Kokuboro had something to do with it.

"Miya what's gotten into you!" Yoshimori shouted.

"It's like she can't even hear us…." Tokine adds.

Just then more Ayakashi jump down keeping Yoshimori and Tokine occupied. Gen knew they needed his help, but Miya wasn't even getting tired and she kept coming at him. He blocked her claws from penetrating his face and gripped her wrist hard before looking into her eyes.

"Miya stop…" He said trying to sound sincere to recall her normal self that was locked away somewhere inside. Miya pushed him back onto his back and tightened her fist.

"She was never your friend to begin with. She was merely doing her job, to gain your trust and use it against you. She's a Kokuboro member, you really think we'd try and get rid of someone with that strength?" Kaguro adds who's been watching the fight up close. Yoshimori and Tokine look over at her and then at Gen who is dumbfounded and speechless.

She goes towards Gen once again with her paws glowing with her strange aura. Gen knew he had no choice now and he could no longer hold it back.

"You like her don't you?" His egg had begun telling him that it was true and any feelings he were feeling towards her were fake. That she was just a fake. She had fooled all of them, placed strings on them to play with. And they had fallen right into her trap. Now she was going to help take over Karasumori and because of his fake feelings he was going to let her get away with it. Gen looked up at Miya with a glare and readied himself to finally start fighting back until he notices tears rolling down her face. He stops himself and receives the impact of her claws stabbing into his arm that was meant to go into his side until she moved it last minute unable to avoid injuring him at all.

"I understand now…Miya…" he says softly into her ear before falling back. Miya stands back up and looks down at the blood dripping from her claws and suddenly feels sicker than ever. She falls to her knees and holds onto her head trying to fight the urge to continue. Just what was going on? Now that he was off guard this was her chance to end it.

"Finish him."

With that being said she starts to run towards him raising her claw up into the sky. He stands up once again holding onto his arm.

"Miya snap out of it now!" Yoshimori shouts at the top of his lungs. Miya's eyes suddenly return to normal but she continues to run towards him. Instead of stabbing into him she falls into his chest with her arm dangling and his normal fist into her stomach. She lifts her head and looks into Gen's eyes suddenly coming back to herself.

"I'm sorry…." Miya stutters. "Please….finish me off."

Gen stares at her face in shock still trying to figure out what just happened. She shouts at him to kill her for she will always be a prisoner of the Kokuboro, unless he finishes her.

"I've chosen you to be the one…to put me out of my misery. I've tried to deal with it all… but I can't get the images out of my mind. They haunt me even in my dreams… I was the one who killed my father…." Miya stutters with tears rolling down her face moving her claws to point to her stomach with Gen's hand holding onto it tightly. "I was the one who cut him to pieces…. I hated him so much, but now I hate myself more than anything for letting myself lose control. Just like now… I had no control… and if you don't end it here Gen! Then I'll only continue to lose control until… I… end up hurting someone I really care for…Gen….I don't want to hurt you anymore…so please…" With her other hand she places it onto Gen's and shoves her claws into her side. Gen stops her when he realizes what she's doing, but blood already begins to tinkle down her leg and out of her mouth.

"Miya… you're not a monster. It was just a mistake and people make them… you just have to learn to live with them," Gen adds placing his hands on her shoulder. "And I can't kill you. If I wanted to I would have earlier, but even if I wanted to I wouldn't be able to bring myself to it." Gen's last words bring calm over her and her hands transform back to human hands. She feels herself start to fade and her head lands onto Gen's shoulder. They were away from the others, but could hear the destruction that was going on.

"Stupid Shishio…." She mumbled feeling a light blush on her face with tears still streaming down. The effects of her attacks and the strange liquid that was used were finally taking their toll. She suddenly felt pain everywhere and lost her balance. Gen caught her and lifted her up slowly noticing her eyes were closed. He carried her bridal style and hid her somewhere away from the fighting placing her gently behind a tree. He places her backpack next to her and then notices movement inside. He opens it and jumps back seeing Ayah's head shoot out. But with no time left Gen hears another enemy arrive.

~::.::.::.::.::~ A few minutes later ~::.::.::.::.::~

Gagin finally makes his way down and with his fire starts to burn all his friends. Yoshimori and Tokine begin trying to fight him off but it ends up being Gen vs. Gagin.

Miya wakes up feeling her wounds have already healed and looks around at the stillness and quietness of the forest around her. She hears Ayah's meow and looks down at her sleeping on her lap.

"Where's Shishio?" Miya says softly while standing up using the tree for her support. She suddenly hears fighting going on not far from where she is and looks around and then sees Yoshimori and Tokine on a Kekkai in the air.

"Oh no…Gagin is fighting now…" Miya adds before telling Ayah to go hide somewhere. She obeys and runs off somewhere as Miya starts to run towards the fight and sees Kaguro hovering over making her anger boil up again. It was his fault she was constantly reminded of her mistakes, but Gen's words were comforting. She had to learn from her mistakes and it would surely take some time, but soon they would just be a distant memory. Her attention is caught back when she hears Yoshimori calling out Gen's name followed by an explosion sound and a giant flame being shot up into the sky. Shortly after Miya notices a bunch of flames being shot like bullets towards the three. Miya presses herself against a wall as she watches Madarao and Hakubi try to distract Gagin who's in his transformed state. Miya slides down into a sitting position and places her head between her knees not knowing what to do. If she were to jump in transformed they would kill her in an instant or rather they would do whatever they did before to control her.

She looks up and sees Gagin preparing himself for his finishing blow. Miya clenches her fist and sees Shishio step forward as if to say he'll finish off himself. He falls to his knees and starts to transform,

Miya can't seem to close her mouth from the sight and watches as he stands up and the smoke around him clears revealing his true form. Miya grasps her other hand before standing back up on her feet to watch what'll happen next. Though she is only watching she can't help the fact that her heart is racing fast. Everything was happening one right after the other and Miya still couldn't get over the fact that she had injured Gen. Though it were rare, there were moments where he would smile to her and rarely smile to the others and Miya just still didn't understand why. She wanted to confess that he was always on her mind, but right now she had to focus on what was in front of her. Her feelings didn't matter at the moment and she would have to keep quiet about them and only hope that he would be able to defeat Gagin. As long as the other Kokuboro members didn't interfere. Miya looks up at Kaguro and can't help but feel that he had something up his sleeve.

"What are you going to do with me now?" She thought as she stared up at Kaguro. Now that it was obvious they planned to use her from the start to gain the two Kekkaishi's trust and then turn around and kill them while they had their guard down. Unfortunately for them their plan failed.

Gen lets out a growl which startles her as she stares at his new figure. While Gagin prepares a giant purple ball in the sky, Yoshimori and Tokine discuss underneath. Miya can't take her eyes off Gen who is waiting for Gagin to release his attack. He finally does and immediately Tokine casts a kekkai for Gen to jump on as he dashes upwards towards Gagin. Gen cuts off his arms to his surprise and even Miya's for she heard a lot of bad things about Gagin. Tokine continues to form kekkai in the sky for Gen to jump from and increase his speed. Miya feels a smile come on knowing at this rate they will be able to defeat him. The ball Gagin threw makes contact with Yoshimori's kekkai.

As the fight continues Gagin forms a barrier around himself, but Gen manages to cut through it anyways. Yoshimori finally makes his ball sling back towards Gagin in his horse state, and Gen slashes by cutting a hole as the ball hits. It causes a giant beam of light reminding Miya of the sunrise she used to watch. Gagin starts to spit out more fire towards Gen, but he continues to jump from kekkai to kekkai. Gagin's barrier breaks and right when Gen is about to give him the finishing blow everything seems to go still. Kaguro stabs his two swords through his body and he slowly floats down to the ground with Gen still on the other end of his swords. Kaguro seems to be trying to talk with him and then he slashes his swords outward letting Gen fall.

"No Gen…" Miya whispers, but barely audible." Gen!" She shouts.

Tokine makes a kekkai for Gen to land on as they run towards him. Miya looks at the sky desperately to find Kaguro feeling her anger intensify.

"You basterd…." She snaps as he hovers over to Gen to reminisce with Yoshimori. He angers him enough to go after him. Miya looks over at Gen as Tokine tries to get him to open his eyes. Yoshimori defeats Gagin and then makes his way back to Gen whose eyes are open, but his wounds look life threatening. And besides… the rest of them were still coming and Miya decided she would have to do something now to help protect Gen. The black clouds overhead seem to get closer and an evil aura becomes stronger. Yoshimori's grandfather and another person show up and a few moments later Gen passes. Yoshimori begins to sob and soon Miya is a well, but remaining hidden. The princess gets rejected from the Karasumori site as Gen's death seems to make Karasumori mourn. Shortly after Yoshimori's brother appears, but it's too late to help Gen.

Miya feels as if her heart is literally in pain as she sobs into her knees not caring what happens anymore, and not sure about the future.

Noo Gen is dead :( or is he? I think I'll end this story in the next chapter as planned. What will happen to Miya? Will Gen come back? Find out in the last chapter! Oh and I might do a few years skip so just be aware.
