Chapter 29

Ayato pulled Yui along as they left Laito behind who is fighting her brother.

"A-Ayato-kun!" she shouted.

He scoffed. "What's up, Chichinashi..."

"Are you alright?"

Ayato stopped his tracks and faced her. "Ore-Sama is fine... What about you?"

Yui averted her eyes to something else and smiled. "I'm fine! B-But everyone else..."

"Don't worry about them anymore..." Ayato said.

"E-Eh?"

Ayato let go of her hand and sighed. "They're probably all dead by now.. Subaru and everyone..."

Yui's eyes widened and then she slapped him.

"Oi~ What the hell?! "

"DON'T SAY THAT!" she screamed.

His eyes widened as tears fell from her face to the ground for his brothers. "C-Chichinashi..."

"... I-I'm sorry... I didn't mean to..." she apologized.

Ayato stared at her and then pulled her into his arms.

Yui blushed. "A-Ayato-Kun?!"

"... I'm sorry..." he said.

"...Oh~ So she decided to go home with the damn Rogues then? I thought you knew so much better M Neko-Chan~" Kou said from in a tree.

Yui's eyes widened. "K-Kou-Kun!"

Kou jumped down and landed on the ground and sighed. "M Neko-Chan... You really are stupid..."

"Eh?"

Ayato scoffed. "What's up with you?"

The idol smiled happily. "Do I have to answer that, Ayato-Kun?"

"Tch..."

Yui grabbed Kou's hand. "Kou-Kun! You aren't hurt are you?"

Then, he slapped her hand away. "Nope~"

"K-Kou-Kun?"

Ayato grabbed Kou's collar and lifted him. "What the Hell... What did you just do...?"

The idol smiled innocently. "Hm... Nothing... Ayato-Kun... Do you need glasses?"

"Shuttap!" Then Ayato threw Kou away from him.

Yui was still wide-eyed. "K-Kou-Kun? What's wrong?"

Kou shrugged. "Absolutely nothing~ "

"B-But you...You're... different..."

Kou stared up at the sky. "Mhm... Really?" then he laughed. "I don't seem different to myself!"

Ayato clenched his hand into a fist. "Really... Maybe it's his face.. I can't straighten that out for him."

"A-Ayato-Kun!" Yui exclaimed.

"Ah...Ayato-Kun~ Your temper is like a fire~ Once it's lit... It's strong... But when water is poured or wind is blown, that flame burns out." Kou said.

Ayato's temper snapped. "SHUT UP MUKAMI!"

"My, my... How the heck did I get on your bad side?" Kou asked.

Yui frowned. "W-We need to get out of here, both of you!"

Ayato turned to her. "Tch... You're right... We'll settle this later, but for now... Come with us..."

Kou frowned. "Why?"

"Her brother is currently trying to kidnap Chichinashi and is killing every one of us in his path and he is pretty merciful... Now let's go." Ayato explained.

Kou gaped. "That was beautiful... But anyways... Fine~"

Yui sighed. "Guys... "

Ayato pulled her towards the sighting again and laughed. "Damn... Can't you walk on your own?"

Kou sighed. "Maybe you're the one that needs to hold Mother's hand..." he muttered.

"What did you say?"

By that time, Kou was whistling.

"Argh..." Ayato groaned.

Kou bounced up to Yui and tapped her shoulder. "M Neko-Chan~"

"Hm?" Yui replied.

He smiled at her. "You want to know a secret?"

Yui shrugged. "What is it Kou-Kun?"

He leaned in close. "I'm already dead..."

"Of course you are! Aren't you a vampire?" she asked.

Kou blinked. "You humans have a weird perception of vampires... But no..."

"T-Then what do you mean..." Yui asked.

The idol smirked at her. "You killed me~ With your words... And now... You don't mean anything to me... In fact... M Neko-Chan... I hope you die...~"

Then he walked in front of the both of them.

Yui's eyes widened and she fell to her knees.

"Chichinashi?!" Ayato called out.

Kou smiled to himself from up ahead. "M Neko-Chan... I wonder how much pain and sorrowful things you can hold in your heart before you totally fall into despair forever...Hah...Hahaha..." he started to laugh maniacally. "M Neko-Chan... Let me see your face... In utter despair...Hahaha...HAHAHAHAHA..."

Belialius smirked. "Heheh... Mukami... Despair... Is what someone creates... Let's see how well you can make my dear sister fall..." he stood on top of Laito and pulled his sword out, glancing at Laito's open but blank eyes. "Heh... Into the deepest despair.." Then he started to walk away towards the direction of the sighting.
