Recap: Ayuma's POV

"Oh, no..." I whispered and sunk to my knees. I felt the power entering into Ryokin. I knew that if he reached his true potental that Ren wouldn't win. "Ren...this is all my fault..."

"Yes, it is your fault." Ren's mom said to me. I looked at her sadly, waiting to be scolded for rueing her and her families life. But what she said next completely dumbfounded me. "It's your fault for meeting Ren, making him smile, making him laugh more, and...for making him love someone...truely love someone."

"..." I looked down.

"But it isn't your fault for being born they way you were nor is it your fault that Ren is fighting against that guy." She said smiling and placed a hand on my shoulder. I looked up at her with tears in my eyes, then looked at the fight. She says it isn't, but I know that it is...And the only way for me to solve anything is for me to die. That way they won't have anything to fuss about... I need to die...

Ren's POV

"Nearly..." I trail off as the earth stops shaking. Houlka smirks, steps back, and closes his eyes and yells:

"Shichith Chikyuu!" The ground grabs me. "Now, you I have complete power of the earth!" I scream in pain as it squeezes me. I feel and hear some of my ribs breaking.

"Ren!" Jun cried. "Pailong go help him!" Pailong starts towards me, but with the snap of his finger, the ground grabs him and Jun.

"You know, this all could have been avoided if you just gave up the girl." Houlka stated walking up towards me. When he gets in front of me, he punches me in the face. "That's all you had to do, but its too late. And now you and your family have to die."

"Fuck you!" I said and spat blood on his face. He growled and punched me again in the face. I laughed painfully as he wiped the blood off his face with a hankerchief. "What, can't take a little blood?"

"..." He narrowed his eyes, raised his sword, and stabbed me in my left side. I yelled out painfully and nearly fainted with pain as he turned the sword with it still in me. "What's wrong, can't take a little pain?"

"..." He pulled the sword out smirking murderously. My head hung down limp. I was in too much pain to look up. "Bakayaro..."

"Still with the insults, I thought you were done...Oh well, let's see if I can shut you up with this." He said as he stabbed me in my right side. I yelled out once again in pain as my head flew back. My head now hung back. He took a small dagger and cut a small slit in my now exposed neck.

"Basterd..." I whispered smirking a little even though I was in great pain. He frowned.

"I guess the only way to shut you up is to kill you." He said and rasied his sword. He was half-way there to hit me, but a voice shouted stop.

Ayuma's POV

"Stop! Don't kill him!" I yelled struggling to get out of the grip that Ren's mom had me in. "Ren!"

"And why would I do that?" Houlka asked while slitting Ren's neck even more. "Don't hurt him and I'll-I'll..."

"Come with me and wed me without any resistance." He finished. I bit my bottom lip in thought. "If not...He snapped his fingers and Ren' mom is grabbed. they all die."

"I..."

"..." He frowned and snapped his fingers and everyone is squeezed including Ren. All of them yelled in pain.

"Stop! I'll...I'll go...just don't...hurt anyone anymore..." I said looking at everyone and Ren.

"Ayuma..." I heard Ren whisper and saw his head slightly left up. "Don't...Ayuma..."

"I have to..." I said and did not struggle when Ryokin lefted me up and glided me to Houlka. Houlka smirked at Ren in victory.

"Weaklings never win and get what they want!" Houlka declared proudly. I winced as Ren coughed out blood. He turned towards me and climbed on the mont. "Let's go Ryoukin. Take us home."

"Ayuma..." Ren whispered as we started to move away. "Love..."

I love you Ren, and because I love you I must leave...It's my turn to protect you. I whispered in my mind. I sighed and wish he could hear me...

Ren's POV

"Ayuma..." I whispered with the strenght I had left as she started to go. "Love..."

I then felt the earthen hand let me go, I fell to the ground and lost consioucness. But before I lost complete conisous, I heard one thing.

"I love you Ren, and because I love you I must leave..." Ayuma's voice whispered though my mind. "...It's my turn to protect you..."
