Tohru ran as fast she could. She closed her eyes, maybe that way she won't see what was right behind her. She ran faster with her eyes closed and then finally opened her eyes, Nibel! The entrance! Nibel was just a few feet away! She ran even more even though it felt like her legs were turning to jelly.
Yuki saw a woman running and behind her the Ruby Dragon was catching up. I have to save her. She's a civilian. She'll interfere. No, she might know about the pillar. The whole village will be in danger! She's in danger! Yuki thought arguing within himself.Yuki ran forward and aimed his gun at the dragon's hind legs and shot it three times and then aimed at the dragon's heart. But, before he could shoot the woman tripped and as the same time the dragon fell on its posterior.
Tohru had looked back as she heard three gun shots pass her. She saw the dragon falter and she almost sighed in relief, but she realized dragons aren't easily killed. Not with just a gun, it takes more than a gun. Piercing its heart is the answer! She looked ahead again and saw the same man she had seen earlier. Gun smoking from the fire he had just shot, black trench coat billowing from behind him, silver hair being carried by the passing wind, and mauve eyes focused on the dragon. It was a magnificent picture…
She was almost there when her legs altogether failed her. Yuki dashed towards the woman and with his arms open and caught her. Tohru wrapped her arms around the man's neck, knowing that somehow she was safe. Yuki let his guard down and held the woman in his arms.
Then, images flashed before his eyes. Feathers everywhere, a woman's smile, a sword, blood, the sky…and a tattoo in the back. Yuki screamed mentally as the last image flashed in his head…
He gripped his sword. Tears and blood were falling from his covered face. A hand reached out softly to touch his, "Yuki…you love me don't you? Do what you have to do." She said.
"I can't…"
"…Love…Kill me now!"
Yuki screamed out, "AAH!" but the images wouldn't stop. Momiji reached the entrance and saw Yuki holding a woman and in tears. Momiji rushed towards his older cousin. Yuki crying? This was not good…and not to mention the Ruby Dragon getting up and roaring in rage. "Snap out of it Yuki! What's wrong with you?" He asked Yuki whose eyes were closed tightly with tears pouring out. He embedded Yuki's sword on the ground and looked at him again and then got his pistols out.
"Leave the pansy alone, there's a dragon to kill!" Kyo said catching up, as he got ready to fight. Haru caught up also and saw Yuki, "What the hell is wrong with him?" He asked seeing Yuki cry and holding the woman closely like clinging to life.
"Dammit, Haru, I said there's a dragon to kill. Everyone's going to get killed if we don't stop its ass!" Kyo said and got Haru's attention. "Right, but there's a problem. We can't go near it."
"Then shoot it!" Kyo said
"Don't be stupid. Ruby Dragon cannot be killed that way." An empty voice said behind the three men. Kyo turned around to see a blonde and a raven-haired girl. He raised his brow, "Who are you?"
"We're Fallen Angels. Like Hanajima said, this dragon can't be destroyed that way."

Tohru walked into a dream. She saw two figures before her, a man crying and screaming over a lifeless body covered in blood. She looked down on herself and pressed her hand on her stomach. Tohru looked at her hand, blood…

Yuki woke up from the nightmare and gasped for air and then remembered the woman in his arms. She was breathing and sweating terribly. He pulled her away from him and saw that it was the same woman who he had seen in the field of daisies. Yuki lifted her up and saw Haru thrown to the side by an angry dragon.
Momiji was thrown aside as well, got up and started shooting from a distance. Kyo jumped on the dragon's back and unsheathed his two swords and started slicing the dragon. It didn't work. The dragon's scales were tough.
Yuki gritted his teeth, what the hell happened to him? He placed the woman down on the ground gently and saw a blonde and raven-haired woman come close to him. "You shouldn't be outside." He told them.
"You shouldn't be here either, Virtue. You are in no condition to fight—"
"Tohru!" the blonde woman said and rushed towards Yuki who was placing the girl down slowly.
"Get inside quickly, the Virtues will dispose of this." Yuki told them and got his sword that was stood beside him with its blade embedded deep in the soil. The raven haire-woman stared at him blankly, "You…" She faltered with eyes wide open, and then gathered herself and continued, "You should save your friends."
The blonde woman stared up at him, "Those idiots won't listen to us—" The brunette stirred and gasped for air and opened her eyes. She met his eyes and said, "Pierce its heart…that's the only way. Kill it before it gets to Nibel…" She said, then her eyelids fluttered softly and she fell back to unconsciousness.
Yuki stared down at the brunette, and then faced Ruby Dragon who was beating the crap out of his cousins. He felt the raven-haired woman's eyes burn a hole in the back of his head. Ruby Dragon, he thought, one of the strongest Dragon…maybe you can help me get away from here…
"Virtue, you must not be careless…what you are thinking is unacceptable."
Yuki turned around and stared at the raven-haired woman, "And why not, civilian?" He asked as he gripped his sword. He was a Virtue. An instrument—he was tired of the same thing over and over again. Missions for one reason…a man's greedy needs to feed his curiosity. Man…the worst thing to ever happen in the world.
"I…feel that everything will change. This change needs you. Even if you try to kill yourself under Ruby Dragon's claws…I think it will not happen. There's something about you…all of the Virtues. You don't look like normal people. I can understand us Fallen are different—we have mixed blood, those of the earth and that of the heavens. So why is it that you Virtues, of Adel the capital of Sentra, look so much like us? How is it possible I feel our blood in your veins?"
Yuki turned to face the Dragon again. He looked at his hand that held the sword, "Well…that's an uneasy question to answer. You are from the ancient and legendary Empyreal. Fallen Angels, they call you because of you mixed blood. You say you sense your blood in our veins?"
Yuki smirked. He turned around with one last look at the brunette who had made him cry in pain before he ran towards the Dragon, "Maybe because we do have your blood…the only difference is that we are from hell. If you will excuse me, I need to join my cousins. I have to save some Angels, too."
