To Love a Theif

Chapter 11
Kyou began to wake, he felt the cold and maram enriched castle carpet beneath him. He felt silk bed covers as he pulled himself up from the place he had been. His mind wondered for a moment, he had to somehow see where he was. "Rajei!" He saw a bedroom, and he turned towards the bed for a moment. He saw someone beneath the blankets, and a blob of brown hair that had grown in the past few weeks. He suddenly knew where he was, and he tried to run towards the figure in the bed. He was pushed back by a Vina barrier.
"I knew you'd do that, it is good I allowed Alice's maram to grow stronger during her time here." A male stood from a dark corner of the room, putting out Kyou's light with Karu. Maram lights slowly began to light the room. He could see the whole room now, but he knew Darva had somehow planned this from the beginning. "So, you really want to her?"
"Of course I do!"
"Then come and ask her to leave, I shall bow to only her will." He sat down in a chair in a corner as he watched Kyou try his will to get her back. He began to shake her a slight bit, hoping she'd wake. The female's eyes opened to meet his and looked quizically at the male in front of her.
"Who are you?"
"It's me, Kyou. Alice, I've come to take you home."
"I am home, why would I want to leave my fiance's company?"
"Alice, it's not what you think." Her eyes looked confused and then the female's eyes grew angry.
"Dara!" A strong wind knocked him back as the female left the bed quickly and ran to who she thought to be her fiance. The male placed her within his arms and assured his future queen everything would be all right. "I don't know him, Eric."
"It's okay my queen, our wedding is coming up soon. We should be getting ready. I assume you can handle him Shinigami." The maram master came out of the corner and stood in front of the passage the two had just taken. Kyou ran, trying to get past the experienced master of darkness.
"Manu." A wall covered the passage now, and all Kyou could do was try to break it. The master would not seem to allow him as he felt himself being attacked again by Dara.
"Let me through..."
"I highly doubt I would." Kyou stood up and took a deep breath to ready himself to think.
With Kayna...
The female was hidden well in the corner, watching the paranoid lotis masters try to hit her images. She had well worn them down to their last reserves of energy, but she knew her true objective. "Matsu!" Shackles held them down, and they didn't want to use the last of their energy quite yet. They tried to hide their trump card for later, and knew there was more than just some sort of attacking images. The room changed into an elaborate chamber designed for a maram wedding as the three were put beside the others who were restrained. Mayura looked at Scipio worried. His body looked worse than the rest of theirs.
At Darva's Bedroom...
Kyou couldn't think, how was he supposed to get past the master blocking him? Yet, he felt as if there were a word he could use to get past the male.
"You still can't get past those Manu walls? There's quite a simple solution Kyou." Billy's hand touched his forehead as if in shock about the loss in skill. He pulled himself up from the ground, clinging to the wall.
"I don't know how Billy, I mean...there's no word to destroy walls other than Ruta, right?"
"What if you don't destroy the wall?"
"What do you mean?"
"What if you can't destory the wall?"
"I don't know." The larger man took charge of the simuation and seemed to stand right in front of the wall. His body was about to be hit before he uttered one lotis word.
"Sama!" A path opened, and the simuation ended.
He quickly returned from the flash back as he ran towards the maram master. "Sama." The path opened up right in front of him and he dodged the next Dara attack to send him back. Shinigami quickly destroyed the manu wall and ran towards the wedding chamber.
At the wedding chamber...
Eric stood with a maram robe adorned Alice as he waited for Shinigami to arrive. However, he noticed the path opening up next to the area he was. Then he pulled Alice behind him as he found it was that stupid lotis master. "How dare you try to defile such a special event, lotis scum!"
"I'm going to get Alice back!"
"Aren't you worried about your companions?" He pointed to the restrained lotis masters at the wall, and he showed Samuel holding a Rajika arrow and bow to kill anyone of them. "Now, be a good boy and go with your companions and you won't be harmed, for now." Kyou felt himself being pulled by Shinigami, who had just arrived. Kyou felt himself being pulled against a chair in the farthest corner from his companions. This time they didn't use maram, and his captor tugged his arms behind the chair painfully as he attached maram chains to his wrists that were levitated from his head. Unlike the others, his body was also restrained at the elbows and at his knees and ankles. He felt pain all over and couldn't seem to move an inch. He could only watch as the cermony began, and tried hard to use Vimuku. "Now, we shall begin."
