Summery: Let me think of a good one. Based in the Shadow land, the part of the Shadow realm that the monsters were exiled to. Story revolves around REBD and the CG and getting them together, with the usual twist and turns that me and Kat like to throw in.

Warnings/Notes: Written in Role Play style with Slytherinette playing mostly The Red eyes, Blue eyes, and the Metal Dragon along with various others. Kat plays mainly the CH and DM as well as several others. YAOI and hints of YURI as well as some HET, but mostly YAOI. It was betaed by Me and Microsoft Works, so it most likely has a lot of errors. I'm sure you can live through them though.

Shadow sighed, his dragon form flying across the sky, over the mountains to bypass the land of the Dark that lay in the mountain's shadows to a place that he felt like was home, even more so then the mountains. The waste lands. He had spent a long time there in his life, a lot from being under his former master, Rex's control. It was dead to one who was just flying over it, but a closer look would revel that families of dinosaurs, even the monsters of the dead were happy there. They weren't as bad as most believed, and they had treated him more like part of the family then his own did. This was where he would find his closest and best friend. The only other being that he would ever want at his back, D. The little D may be weak, but he was fiercely loyal and would take on anything. D's place wasn't far from the edge of the land, where the shadows met the small bubble they lived in. He roared a hello as he landed near a groups of Little Ds and Baby Ds.
D lifted his head to call back and smiled at the arrival of his friend. Finally maybe he would be able to make Rex see that they had to ask for help from the others, be it dragons, warriors or hell even fairies.
"Shadow!" He called smiling.
"Hey! How's it going?" The dragon greeted him, "How's the runts?"
"Good, eat as much you, but good." he said then looked off into the distance for a moment then turned to Shadow. "Look that way and tell me what you see."
Shadow did so, and blinked. "I see the shadows and a bit of the red spell that holds them out. Why?"
He asked confused.
"One got through last night, had it not been an undead that it fought someone may have died."
"Hmm.." Shadow said getting closer to the wall. "How'd that happen. The pharaoh promised us that we would be safe from them no mater how hard they pressed against the barrier." he looked down just in time to see a dark claw like shadow reach out to his leg from the ground. He took a casual step back. "How long has this been going on?"
"A while. Rex thinks that we can handle it. The Waste Landers don't need any help is what he says." D said in a annoyed tone. "Parts of the barrier look as if they will shatter at any moment."
"Yeah, well, if this breaks the rest of them are going to be involved whether he likes it or not. My cave isn't far from edge on the north east side of the land. The spell is still holding strong...." He looked up just to see a shadow reach for his head, but he pulled back in time. "I think you need to get closer to the mountains." He said as he eased a baby D away from an outstretched shadow with his tail.
"Rex doesn't want to move everyone, to make everyone have to depend on others for help." He said then let out a growl that got the others moving. "But as for me I am moving my family despite what Rex thinks."
"I think that that's a good idea." he nodded. "My cave over looks the small area of the waste lands that touch the water. You can go there." He looked back down then jumped back. "I think you'd better do more then move. You need to run. And run now." There, just under the red clear spell was a puddle, of what looked like black tar, but it was the shadows moving over the land.
D let out a cry that had his whole group on the move towards the edge and away from the shadows that had escape from the beyond world, some didn't make it.
Shadow took to the skies and let out a energy blast as strong as he could make. It only slowed the wall from moving a little, but it did little else. He watched in horror as the crawled over the land, enveloping everything in sight. There was no way he could fight them alone. The shadows weren't really alive, nor dead. They existed to destroy. After they took what they wanted all that was left was nothing. Nothing but a hole of blackness. The only creatures that could survive it was one of the other world and whose monsters that feed from their power. There was no way he could fight this. He flew over the land shaking his had before he did the only thing he could.
-------------------------
Darsh had no idea what to do or where to go now. Cadeyrn had someone to take care of him now so Darsh was no longer needed. But he had lost the only one that he really loved. There was little else that he could do but one thing.
He would go to Obelisk and he would die, after all only the God of Death could grant true death to a Duel Monster.
Saniiro flapped his wings once, the sand under him whisking in various directions before settling. He narrowed his eyes as he looked at the island. It was the island of the three Gods and he knew just in the distance was the castle. He was ever tempted to go there, in fact that had been his reason for his coming to the sandy beaches so far from his mountain home, but he had again wimped out. The only one who could talk to them without being at least halfway scared was Kenji. He sighed deeply. How he wished to ask them something that had been on his mind for so long. The Dragon shook his head dug a front claw into the sandy earth. Maybe we was never meant to learn.
There was a humming sound off to his side and Darsh stepped through the portal that had showed up there. He looked over sensing a dragon immediately then seeing that it was the Metal Dragon and not Kenji he headed up in the direction of Obelisk's hall where he and his closest fiend advisors resided.
Saniiro snapped his head up to look at the magician. "What are you doing here," he asked blinking.
"I have come to speak with Lord Obelisk." He sad simply.
Saniiro cocked his head to the side. Obelisk? What would he want with him. The only ones who went to see his were those who wished to die. "What? Why?"
"Its my business, if you wish to know ask Ken... The Blue Eyes." He said then started up the hill the last leg of his journey to see the God of Death.
"Wait! But why would you want to see him.. what happened," the dragon asked softly as he used his larger body to block the other's path.
Darsh looked away.
"Those I love no longer need me. I am tired and need to rest." He said the tried to walk around Saniiro.
"Wait, what do you mean, those who you love need you. What about Kenji.."
Darsh looked at his feet sadly. "He told me that he never wanted to see me again or he would kill me."
Saniiro blinked in shock and quickly turned to human form. "Why? Tell me, please. What happened."
"No! Kenji didn't understand and he loved me, you barely even like me. Please just get out of my way!" He cried.
The dragon garbed his upper arms and firmly held him in place. "What didn't he understand? Maybe I can help."
Darsh's eye filled with tears.
"Can you bring back the Pharaoh? Can you reverse time five thousand years? You cant help!"
Without thinking about it he hugged Darsh to him. "Talk to me. Please. Tell me what happened."
"No. Please just let me die!" He sobbed clinging to Saniiro's chest. "Damn you let me go to Obelisk!"
"There is no reason for that. I won't let you go until you tell me what happened! Tell me now, or I'll drag you away from here and go to Kenji so he can tell me."
"Go! Go to your brother he will tell you in his words how I whored around on him!" He cried sinking down to his knees wrapping his arms around himself.
Saniiro's jaw dropped. "What?!" He blinked several times before he got down with him on the ground. "Please. Tell me the whole story. Tell me your story, not his."
"Its Cadeyrn. There are times... His mind isn't right at times.... I just..."
Saniiro stoked the magicians soft purple hair soothingly. "That you what," he asked, his voice soft. he had a pretty good idea, but he wouldn't assume anything until Darsh said it himself.
"There are times that I... He needs physical contact to wake him up out of his trances. Cadeyrn is my second lover but... I hadn't had to do anything with him until last night for seven hundred years. I thought... I was so stupid..."
"Shh.." Saniiro shook his head. "Did you tell Kenji all of this?"
"He doesn't care. All that matters to him is his Dragon's Pride." He murmured then looked up at him. "Now will you let me go?"
Saniiro laughed darkly. "If you really think I'm going to let you kill yourself your crazy. Besides, there have been lost of monsters that when to him asking for death that he didn't give it to. What makes you think that he would give it to you because of a lover's spat?"
"I am a powerful Duel Monster, Obelisk craves the blood of the strong you know that." He said then got up to his feet and stretched out. "If he doesn't allow it I will go to the human world and destroy my own card."
"No!" Saniiro's yelled, jumping up. "You're to important here to do that. What about Zoey.. what about Cadeyrn? What about everyone that looks to you for leadership?"
"Zoey has Dayla and Cadeyrn has..." he went quiet deciding not to say anything it was none of his business. He headed up the hill as quickly as he could.
"No! Darsh. Don't do this. With out you, no one knows what Kenji will do. I know you two can work this out. He loves you to much."
"Kenji doesn't need me he made that abundantly clear. What I do with the remainder of my life is none of your concern. I think you should leave or he will consider your life up for grabs as well."
"Then that's fine. My life isn't worth that much anyways." He said, "And your very wrong. Kenji loves you, he's just not had time to think, and nether have you. He loves you as his bonded mate, and if you die he will no doubt follow. This is stupid."
Darsh opened his mouth but another voice spoke first. It was dark and cold but at the same time it was intoxicating.
"What's this? Darsh, the Dark Magician and Saniiro, the Red Eye Black Metal Dragon? Have you come for a visit... Or maybe something more?" It said from just off to the side, standing watching them from the door way to the great obsidian castle. They looked to see a man that, at first glance, would make a person think of a vampire. He had silver eyes, chin length black hair and a dangerous smile. "Come to me and speak."
Saniiro blinked, fear rising to his throat. "It was a mistake. We didn't mean to come. We're sorry we.."
Darsh started forward.
"He has nothing to do with this he is merely my escort, Lord Obelisk." He said quietly. The Death God walked forward to meet him excited that such a powerful creature was here on his own free will.
"No. Darsh. What about your Master. He needs you... Kenji loves you, please..." he begged.
Obelisk touched Darsh's cheek then smiled.
"You come for death. I can sense it."
"Yes, its all that I now desire." Darsh said now ignoring Saniiro hoping that the dragon would leave before Obelisk decided to take him as well. Obelisk nodded after a moment.
"Granted. Your life is now forfeit Dark Magician." He said then tilted his head to the side and lowered his mouth to his neck. Darsh looked over at Saniiro to say goodbye but when sharp fangs sank into his neck all thought fled him mind and a small strangled sound escaped his lips.
Saniiro was about to yell something when suddenly from the east came a loud cry. Everyone, even the feasting God's head looked to the direction. Saniiro blinked, having only heard one cry like that in his entire life, the same one his father had made so long ago in Egypt. It was a cry, not only for help, but a warning. Last time the warning had been that the shadows were taking over.
"I must go to Ra and Osiris. Darsh go with Saniiro to find out what it going on. If, after this, there is still a world and you still desire death it is your. Go now!" With that he was gone.
Darsh staggered a hand over the wound on his neck. It hurt but he no longer cared about himself. Others things needed to be dealt with now.
--------------
Cadeyrn was curled up in a ball totally at peace, after what he had just experienced it was hard not to be. He opened a golden eye to look over at his lover and found Shadow's spot on the bed empty. He sat up looking around afraid that he had fallen off of the bed.
But he wasn't there. He got up and started to dress slowly, he didn't want his thoughts to go off on a excursion when Shadow may have just gone outside for a breath of fresh air.
That was it, he was no doubt just outside. He swung the door open but wasn't surprised that he wasn't there. He blinked back tears as he closed the door again. He couldn't feel Shadow's aura anywhere. He was gone.
'Without even saying goodbye. He left while I was asleep. Why?' He thought then it came to him. he Blinked then sighed and buried his hands in his face. 'How could I be so stupid. this was just another game for him, he wanted apparently to prove how weak I really am. He made me scream and beg for him. Now he is no doubt off laughing it up in his cave! I doubt that he was even hurt all that bad! He was probably just bored!'
He walked over towards the bed his body shaking all over, he collapsed across it and buried his face in this pillow and began to sob.
'Damn you Shadow! Why couldn't you just leave me alone!'
--------
"Who is that calling? It sounds like it's coming from the far side of the wast lands." Saniiro commented to Darsh, who was using his magic to fly next to him.
"It sounds like your brother. I thought he was with Cadeyrn." He blinked."'Please tell me that he wouldn't screw Cadeyrn and then leave him as some sick joke."
Saniiro snorted. "This is Shadow! Of course he would! Don't tell me that that's why you were going to kill your self. Because shadow slept with the Guardian?"
"Go on ahead I have to go to Cadeyrn." he said his eyes now frantic.
"But we may need you," Saniiro pointed out.
"He needs me if your stupid brother off and left him!"
"Fine, but if the call continues, come."
"Wait! Do you think you could go get him for me? I can always beat Shadow senseless later seeing that's who is calling for us."
Saniiro nodded and made a quick turn. "I'll be there shortly." and with all his speed the metal dragon flew to where Cadeyrn's little shack was. He landed at his door, slipping into human form. By now Shadow's call had stopped, indicating that Kenji had most likely joined him. He knocked one the door loudly.
There was no answer.
"Cadeyrn," Saniiro yelled, banging on the door, "Come on, lets go. Something's happening."
"S-Saniiro?" Came the Celt's voice as he opened the door a little. "What is it?"
"Shadow is sending off a signal, there's an emergency in the waste lands. Darsh asked for me to come get you."
"Oh. Yeah give me a moment." He closed the door wiping off his face then called up his armor and sword then went to join Saniiro outside. "Can you carry me?"
Saniiro quickly turned to dragon form, as he was a much faster flyer that way. "Yeah. Climb onto my back., and hang on tightly."
He did as told. He felt, for the first in a long time, like fighting.
"Ok ready."
The two were in the air and over the mountains in just a few moments. Upon arrival to the edge of the waste lands, where the shadows begin, the found the sight to be quite unnerving. High in the sky, both Kenji and shadow were throwing attacks at the ground.
"What in the hell?" Saniiro said as he landed next to Darsh and the Dark Magician of Chaos, so seemed to be in a deep discussion.
Cadeyrn looked around in confusion then saw that the barrier was down in a few places.
"Shadows! They got in!"
He looked over at the Red Eyes then shrugged and jumped down off of Saniiro and unsheathed his sword.
"Come on you formless bastards!" He spat and several went at him.
Dente shook his head and looked at his long time friend. "The only choice we have is to put up another barrier, but ours won't be as strong, or will hold as long as Yami's did."
"That sounds good. Maybe we can get Yugi to have Yami come here, he may be only a spirit now but he can at least tell us how to fix it. For now we will use your idea though."
The chaos magician nodded and waved his left hand. With in a second a book with feet appeared at his side. "Bookoo, find a barrier spell quickly," he ordered the mage. As the mage's pages were flipping he watched as the dragon brothers fought high in the sky, sending blast as the huge shadow that threatened to engulf the land. "What in the hell would make it break like that. That spell should have held up for a lot longer then this. In fact, it should have never broken at all."
"I wish I knew. Do you think that the shadow creatures may be getting intelligent?" Darsh asked then heard an Ah-Ha from Bookoo.
"No. They are mindless. All they crave is things to engulf." He looked down to the book-mage before nodding and letting Darsh see it.
-
Shadow was getting a little frustrated. Why did HE have to come. He was quite distracted with fighting the shadows and now he was keeping a close eyes on Cadeyrn. Twice he dove down to avert a shadow limb from creeping and grabbing the Celt. He wasn't sure why he was doing this either. Why should he care? If the Celt wanted to fight a losing battle let him, but even as the thought came to him he blasted a shadow that was behind Cadeyrn, inches from grabbing him.
Cadeyrn saw Shadow assist him and wondered why the dragon was bothering. 'Does he think that if he plays nice I will let him take me to bed again?!'
He turned in time to get hit in the cheek and he fell back the shadows overwhelming him and bringing him into the darkness. He blinked, but it made no difference, it was just back. 'Shouldn't it hurt more then this?' he though a little out of place. Be blinked again but when he opened his eyes this time, there was a form un the shadows, reaching for him, cold red eyes racking over his body in interest.
'Cadeyrn...' came a hissing voice in his mind.
Shadow roared loudly, a physical pain coming over him from an unknown source. He blinked, seeing Cadeyrn's body behind his eyes before he roared again. Without second thought he dived for a hand that was still sticking out of the black pool, his body turning human, and pulled hard. There was surprising little resistance and Cadeyrn came out easily. He wrapped his arms around his waist and flew higher into the sky, a little ways away from the others. He pushed the Celt's head back and stoked his cheek with the hand that wasn't holding the his body up. He gazed into murky eyes. "Cadeyrn," he said softly, actually worried. He wanted to kill himself for turning his eyes from him for even a second. "Cadeyrn, baby."
Cadeyrn blinked his eyes several times trying to clear his vision then looked at Shadow in confusion.
"Shadow? What happened who was that?"
"What are you talking about. What did you see? Are you okay" Shadow said in a rush. He hugged the other's body to him. He had been so.. scared.
"I thought I saw someone... in the shadows... He knew me..." He murmured then threw his arms around him tightly shaking now that it was over.
Shadow nodded and kissed his temple as he landed just out of the sight range of the others. "I won't let it happen again, okay." He said running his hand threw his hair to pull back and look into his eyes. "Are you okay?"
"I..." He then blinked and pushed Shadow away from him as he realized what he was doing. "Don't."
Shadow blinked. "Don't what?" He asked confused.
"Don't do this to me again! Pretending that you care!"
The dragon sighed and put his hands on his hips, but he didn't answer, just scowl. 'Oh, how I wish I was pretending..' he thought.
"You think that just cause I'm weak you can screw me then wander off and do your normal thing? I'm not a whore and I wont sit around waiting for you to come and visit me!"
He shook his head frustrated. "WHAT are you TALKING about?"
Cadeyrn's eyes filled with tears.
"After all of that you just left!" he cried. Then he shook his head. "Who cares that now there are things more important to worry about! I should have know that you were lying when you were being nice to me. After all it was more often that you taunt me then when you compliment me."
He then turned to go back to the battle not wanting to be alone with Shadow any longer.
"Wait," Shadow cried out, not that willing to let him just walk out of his life that easily. He wrapped an arm around his waist and pulled Cadeyrn's back flush against his chest. "If I said I care, then I care. I don't lie." He said threateningly in his ear, "I meant everything. If you don't believe me then that's fine, do what ever you want, but you can't get rid of me quite that effortlessly."
"I know that. How long have I been trying to get you to leave me alone? You taunt me daily, was this just the next step?"
Shadow inhaled the smell that was so unique to the Guardian. "This was a step..." he said, but couldn't get him mind off the body, the way it felt in against his. Intoxicating and rich. Even with the battle going on, he found that it was hard to think of anything else. "..but it was in a whole new direction."
"What direction is that?"
"I don't know." he answered honestly. "But I'm willing to take the next, as long as you come with me."
Cadeyrn was silent. Could he do this? Could he totally trust Shadow? He finally gave in and relaxed in Shadow's arms and laid his head back on the dragon's shoulder.
"I... I will." He murmured.
The words echoed in Shadow's heart, and he would have smiled if he hadn't of crushed his lips to the other's. He didn't know what he was doing, but he was going to figure it out. He pulled back, resting his forehead against his. He opened his eyes to look into Cadeyrn's golden ones. "I'm sorry I left. I had to talk to D, but if I hadn't of, they would have had no way of letting out a cry in time."
"I'm sorry... I'm being so selfish..." He said gazing into Shadow beautiful crimson eyes. "I was so scared that it was just a mean joke."
Shadow shook his head. "I meant it. Everything, even if I haven't figured it out myself. I swear to you."
He nodded. Then lifted his mouth to Shadow's needing his touch, needing comfort.
Shadow deepened the kiss, his tongue licking at Cadeyrn's. He pulled the other closer to his own body, his arms wrapped tightly around him. The kiss continued for a long moment.. or two.. or three, both relishing in the new emotion that had yet a name, when suddenly there was a loud clearing of the throat.
Shadow snapped his head to whoever it was to glare at them for interrupting, and met a pair of similar red eyes.
"Having fun," Saniiro asked, eyebrow raised, and an amused smirk on his face.
Cadeyrn let out an 'eep' sound and hid his face against Shadow's chest, his cheeks red.
"What?" Shadow barked and Saniiro just shook his head.
"While the two of you have been necking, we managed to back them off a bit. Darsh and Dente are, now, putting up a barrier that will hold, but not for long.
"And what does that have to do with me?"
Saniiro held up his hands in defense. "Just thought you'd like to know."
"Thank you Saniiro." Cadeyrn said quietly his voice embarrass. "Is everyone ok?"
Saniiro nodded and Shadow pulled away from Cadeyrn to turn to his dragon brother. "Fine, then we'll be going..."
"Not so fast," Came Kenji's voice. His blue eye sparked, hatred flooding their deep blue depths. His gaze on the Celt.
Cadeyrn flinched visible and took several steps away from the Blue Eyes. "K-Kenji?"
The dragon had an odd look on his face. "It was strange... during the battle.. it just struck me. He said he had to 'care for someone' because he had promised his master, Yami, that he would.... then.. as if I knew it all along.. it was you..." The last word came out as a roar.
"Darsh told you didn't he?" Cadeyrn said quietly. "I'm sorry Kenji."
He looked at his feet then back up at the dragon.
"I never meant for it to happen! When Shadow got hurt so badly I lost it."
Shadow narrowed his eyes in a threatening manner, warning Kenji that if he even thought about it...
"What happened?"
"Your little friend here, screwed my mate...." He said, his voice in a growl.
"Its not like that at all!" He cried. He turned to look at Shadow wanting him to understand.
Shadow looked back at him, waiting for what ever explanation he had.
Cadeyrn looked at Kenji, then to Shadow, then Saniiro and he began to back a few more steps away from them in fear. He was out numbered out classed and nothing but a snack for them if he was to say the wrong words.
"There is something wrong with me... I... sometimes freak out and black out... during those times I cant remember anything of what happens only that I wake up each time with Darsh."
To Shadow this didn't sound like it was Cadeyrn's fault at all. No.. it sounded more like the little Magician was having a bit to much fun.
Kenji growled and took a threatening step towards his prey when the smaller dragon stepped in his way, a low growl that told him what Shadow would do to him it he took another step. Kenji dared him by take two more.
Shadow moved his feet, his body more firmly on the ground, ready to attack. "Back. Off. Albino boy."
"Don't do this Shadow! I don't want you hurt!" He cried grabbing the dragon's arm.
Suddenly Saniiro's dragon form stepped between them, his teeth bare. Sometime he had called on the beast fangs and was now stronger then even the blue eyes. "Back off Kenji," he said then turned his head to Shadow. "Shadow. Take him and go."
Cadeyrn shook his head, now all three of them were at each others throats just because he had mental problems and sex with Darsh. He clung to Shadow not wanting to see the fight that was bound to break out.
"The barrier is up for now." Came the chaos magician's voice off to the side and standing next to him VERY reluctantly was Darsh. "It should hold until we can get Yami to tell out how to fix it entirely.
Shadow looked at the dark magician, his eyes narrowing, the growl very, very low. He bared his teeth, threateningly. In the back of his mind he was preying to the dragon treasure. He could gain it and no one would know. And he would rip that little freak's throat out with his claws. It was only a second later when he had gained it, and he took a step towards him, but his body firmly between the blue eyes and the Celt.
Darsh looked up at Shadow and shook his head. No! this wasn't happening! Shadow wanted a fight! He thought and he knew Kenji wouldn't protect him as Shadow was doing with Cadeyrn.
"That wouldn't be a good idea, attacking the dark magician." Came a dark voice that was VERY familiar to Saniiro and Darsh and made the others all freeze then turn slowly to regard the man standing off to the side.
Saniiro's eyes widened as did the blue eyes of his brother. Shadow, who knew who he was, only narrowed his, his body still standing guard over Cadeyrn.
"My lord," Kenji bowed respectively. "What brings you here?"
"I've come for the Dark Magician."
As he said the words the mark on Darsh's neck began to burn. He looked at Kenji frightened then mentally kicked himself, Kenji would be glad to see him go. Hand on the wound he started towards Obelisk.
Kenji panicked and jumped in front of Darsh. "What do you want with him," he asked. His voice was not harsh, nor a growl. He was respectful, but not willing to let him just take Darsh.
"He has forfeit his life to me, but before that he has to do us a favor and go retrieve Yami. Then he will get his wish. Come Darsh. We have much to do to get the Pharaoh here." He said to the Dark Magician who was still holding his neck. "Don't think though Kenji that I forced this on him. He came to me."
Even in dragon form Kenji looked horrified. He blinked at his ex-lover in shock.
"Wait!" Saniiro said. "You said that 'if he sill desired it' that he could have it. Maybe he changed his mind."
"No. I will go to Yami as hey wish me too." Darsh said and walked over to Obelisk who wrapped an arm around the purple haired mage's waist.
"After this is over he will tell his choice of whether or not it is death he desire." Obelisk said. "Darsh, lower your hand let Kenji see what his pride brought you to do."
Darsh lowered it and revealed the mark of death that was on his throat over his pulse point.
Kenji's head dropped, his heart in pain. "Do what you wish," he said weakly to Darsh. He closed his eyes against the burn. He didn't want this to happen. he didn't... he just...
Shadow snorted. "For all your power your pathetic, Kenji." He turned his head to look at the Celt. "Lets go." he said, "We're no longer needed here."
Obelisk seeing that Kenji had nothing to say shrugged, tightened his grip on the magician and faded away. Cadeyrn let out a little sob and threw his arms around Shadow.
"He's gonna die because of me!"
Shadow just shook his head. "Come on, Baby. Lets go, okay?" He asked softly, wrapping his arms around his body, his wings flapping, taking flight.
That left Saniiro and Kenji standing there with Dante, the Chaos Mage who was looking on in total confusion but none the less he decided it was best to play it cool, well as cool as one could anyway.
"The barrier will last for a week. That's it." He told them.
Saniiro, who was the only one of the brothers that could respond. "That's fine. I'm sure the gods will figure something out. I hope. He looked at his brother and shook his head. He had a feeling this was just getting started.
