Natsumi paced back and forth in the dark hall. Every now and then she would kick her father's bag when she wasn't paying attention.

"Hurry up." The bull ordered as he leaned against a wall, his arms crossed his decayed chest in boredom.

Natsumi glared him down. She spoke in a soft voice that seemed to chill the air around her. "This is one of the hardest things I have ever done. I would appreciate it if you gave me some space."

"I guess I can wait a little longer, I am going to win with this." The bull smirked.

"Why do you hate him so much anyway? What did he ever do to you to make you murder him?" Natsumi clenched her fists.

"A story for another day. Focus on your half of the deal." The bull sighed with content. He looked down the hall. "If you listen hard enough you can hear him still ripping himself to pieces from here."

Natsumi closed her eyes and wrapped her arms around her shoulders. After a moment she began charging down the hall. "If you can hear from there then stay put."

She ran past the stone walls, her shoes clicking on the tiles. The light dimmed and darkened just as metal bars came into view. Deep guttural growls froze her. She almost fell to her knees from the momentum of her run. Her eyes only glanced at the streams of black blood pouring out from the cage and under her feet before searching through the bars. "Hey it's me."

All of the sounds of ripping and roaring stopped. Natsumi tried to look harder for Ganrougel. She wondered why she could see him through the window upstairs so easily but here it was almost impossible. "I-I'm sorry about... I came to help-but..." She felt her throat stiffen, as if her body had expired and given up. Her skin grew cold and shivered in the smallest of places. All courage she had running into the new dimension shriveled way.

"Natsumi?" Ganrougel's rasping voice called out uneasily from the shadows. One hoof stepped into the light before hesitating and pulling back away. "How did you get in here?"

"Can I see you please?" Natsumi asked desperately. She fought back what tears she could. If she started crying now she wouldn't be able to do what she had to. "I already saw you from upstairs so I know how bad it is... and I- I miss you; and I can't say this to a dark cage."

Ganrougel gave in and stepped closer to her. His still healing flesh bled on the bars as he reached through to her. Natsumi eagerly hugged him as best as she could with the cold metal wedged between them. She didn't care about the blood seeping into her clothes this time. "I'm so sorry. What did he do to you?"

Natsumi was startled as Ganrougel beat his head against the bars, cracking his horns and completely breaking one off. With a sigh he hugged her close again. "He told me everything I blocked out when I died."

"So you..." Natsumi trailed off as her imagination took over. Picturing the slaughter and crude reconstruction to make the monster she knew now. One small thought gave her a tiny smile. "Ya know... I kind of thought that once you did remember everything you would look more normal."

"Oh?" Ganrougel looked down to her.

"Like how you had your blonde hair and human skin when you remembered your brother." Natsumi explained. It was a moment she would cherish, even if it would make her heart hurt later on.

"I think it's because those were good memories, and you were there to help me." Ganrougel gave a smile before it faded away. "But this time I know everything, I know what he did and what he wants. Whatever he says to you it's just to get to me. I'm sorry I pulled you into this."

Natsumi froze again. Her grip in Ganrougel's sides tightened. "It's not your fault. He already spoke to me and..."

"What happened? What did he do to you?" Ganrougel pulled her off and kneeled down to look into her eyes.

"I have to tell you something or he won't..." Natsumi placed a hand to her stomach. "He won't return it."

"What did he take?" Ganrougel's voice grew heavy and dark.

"If I didn't send you away..." Natsumi began as tears streamed down her cheeks. "maybe he wouldn't have gotten to you so soon and then you and I could have been a-a mom and dad."

"A what?" Ganrougel didn't know what emotion was going through his body. He felt burning hot and then suddenly freezing. His body fought between feeling soft and shivering with painful pins.

"I'm pregnant but he... he took something the baby needs. He took the soul." Natsumi felt bile in her throat as she faced her fear once again. "I have to do what he says or... I can't even say it."

"What did he say you had to do?" Ganrougel let go of her arms and focused on listening to her before he let his head drown in all of the thoughts and feelings burning inside him.

"I have to hurt you." Natsumi whispered between her sobs.

"Fine then." Ganrougel quickly pulled a bone blade from his spine and placed it in her hands. "Hurt me. Cut me anywhere you like."

Natsumi shook her head and dropped the blade. "I have to break your heart. I have to say that I don't love you anymore and that I don't want you in my life."

Ganrougel felt everything that burnt within him die. A numbing hollowness filled him as he stepped back into the shadows.

"Red, if he didn't do this to the baby I would never betray you like this." Natsumi choked on her sobs. "I'm so sorry."

"I know." Ganrougel whispered. "You should leave now."

"But-" Natsumi stepped once towards the cage.

"GO!" Ganrougel howled feeling everything leave him. All that she made him feel, all of the warmth and kindness slipping away faster than he could think.

Natsumi flinched before running away from him. She even bolted past the bull as her tears nearly blinded her. After a few bends she fell to her knees and drowned in her sorrow. She could still hear and feel Ganrougel's bellows of pain.

The bull smirked and walked casually towards the cage. "I love the feeling when I win. Look at you. Lower than me once again."

Ganrougel glared at him. Struggling to keep what little feeling he could. He knew Natsumi had to do everything for an innocent child. Why would I deserve her love more than a kid anyway? At least I can still think about her right? "Do whatever you want to me but return it to her. She did what you wanted."

"Not yet. I want to really enjoy watching you break down." The bull grinned.

Ganrougel scoffed as he glared at the bull. He took a deep breath and allowed himself a small crooked grin. I can't let it all slip away. Not after everything I've learned from her. "What if I don't break like you want? I know why she did it and I know it's going to be hell for her but even she knows it was for the best to save the kid. Even as she runs away from me she will never really leave me. Even now she will inspire me with everything I do."

Ganrougel's smile faltered only when the bull laughed. "Sure you can learn to be lonely and live mostly happy with memories of her and yeah I can buy she trusts her decision for the baby over you but really think about this. She is going to cry every night about you. She's going to raise that kid by herself and have to tell it the story of the murderous father who killed so many people. She's on her way home right now thinking that I'm going to do some weird magic act to return the kid's soul and will never really know if I did or not. When that kid is born and dies in her arms she's just going to think that maybe she took too long to get to you and say those hard words and it's all her fault that now she can't have either of you."

Ganrougel clenched his jaws tightly, his fangs cut into his lip. He punched a metal bar only denting it slightly. "Damn you. Damn you damn you DAMN YOU! DAMN YOU DAMN YOU! DAMN YOU!"
