Yuya looked at him in awe.

"Is there any remedies for your situation? I mean, I think I can help out. Does Yukimura or Benitora know about this?" she asked.

"I don't have a clue on how to undo this lame curse. He only said that I will stay like this for the whole year. And I only have three days left to live. On the third day, in the afternoon, I'm going to pass away. It's almost over... So I don't give a damn if there's a cure for this or not, I'm gonna die anyway. And no, they don't know about this."

Yuya replied, "I'll help you find a cure. Okay, so I may be the only one who will have to find this remedy but hey!"

"Whatever. You will not be successful on your plan, I can tell ya."

"HMPH! I'm already helping you out, Kyo! Then, you're telling me I have no rights to help you?! Have you no shame?!" Yuya yelled.

"DID I EVEN ASK FOR YOUR HELP, BITCH?!" Kyo hissed as his ruby red eyes flared up, "NOW GET OUT! LEAVE ME ALONE!"

"FINE!" Yuya replied, who was quite offended with his reply, "BE THAT WAY!"

She stood up and stomped her way out.

The next day...

Yuya went back to Kyo's cave. She was bringing a huge picnic basket with her. She left it on the mouth of the cave. She smiled and and turned her back.

When suddenly, "And what the hell are those?!"

"Food." She replied, "I brought them for you to eat. I also placed three bottles of sake there and also your favorite sake cup. I'm leaving. I'm going to look for the cure, okay? Bye!"

"Why are you doing this?" Kyo asked, his red eyes glimmering in the sunlight.

"Why ask? I am your servant after all." Yuya replied with a chuckle as she ran.

'What a silly girl.' Kyo muttered.

Yuya never returned until the next day...

On that afternoon, Kyo was starting to choke out his blood.

'She'll never return. Why do I have to trust her? Just because she gave me my last supper? No way. She betrayed me. She's no more than a traitor.'

It was almost his time. His eyes became blurry and he was getting pale. His sweat was cold, panting uncontrollably.

"KYO!!!" Yuya screamed as she entered the cave.

"You're late, you nonsense woman!" he said harshly.

Yuya pitied with what she saw. She fell to her knees by his side and leaned her head on what supposed to be his chest. She was crying.

"Why are you crying?" he asked.

"Because..." she replied weakly, "Because I wasn't able to find a cure! And... And... you're going to die... Kyo, I didn't want it to end this way... I thought you will stay with me... But Kyo..."

He coughed and coughed, losing his blood more.

"I never told you this before..." Yuya told him as she sat up, "I love you. I fell in love with you, Kyo."

"But I am now a hideous beast! What woman would love someone like me! Blasphemy!" Kyo said in disappointment of his situation.
