Thanks to ella2000 and saaya132 for the kind reviews!

I hope you enjoy this chap! Pls review and tell me what you think! :D

I am sorry that I don't update fast, but I am working on two other stories and I also have to do a lot of studying and I work part time too. I am so sorry, but please bear with me!

While the crying Ren and the shocked Ayano still sat on the floor and starred frightened at Genma's corpse, Kazuma used his wind magic to break a few walls, shouting.

"Come out you coward! Fight me right now!"

No answer.

"Fuck you! Why are you hiding like some coward instead of just showing yourself and fight?"

No answer.

"You pathetic little coward! Just come out!"

Still no answer.

Kazuma panted heavily, sweat drops running down his face. Ayano stood up and hugged him, something she so rarely did.

"Ka-zu-ma...don't...don't die..."

Hearing that his eyes widened. He shoock her heavily.

"Idiot! Stop saying such things! You know that I told you that I won't let anyone kill me!"

"I know but...maybe...we should just run." Ren interupted.

"Ren..." Ayano sighed.

"Maybe we should just run..." the young boy repeated.

"NO! We need to avange Jugo's and Father's murder first!" Kazuma yelled. Ren was surpirsed, this was the first time, since Kazuma returned, that he called their dad "father" instead of "old man".

"So he loved him a lot after all..." The blonde boy thought, with tears still in his eyes.

"But Kazuma is right, we won't let them kill us. We will be able to find them and then make them pay for what they did to dad and uncle Genma."

"Nee-sama...I don't want to loose anymore people dear to me! That's why I just want to run! "

"I will use my contrator power and try to find out where the bastard is hiding, meanwhile you too be wary."

"Got it." The two replied.

Ayano and Ren looked around, they couldn't see anyone, nor could they feel any presence. That person definetely must be able to hide it's presence, otherwise they would have noticed it by now, since he must have been hiding here all the time!

"I can't let my emotions interfere now, I will use all the strength left inside me to kill this bastard first, after that I can cry...even though it's hard...I have to try..." Ayano whispered to herself, she tried so hard to hold her tears back. She just couldn't believe that she would never get to see that caring smile of her father again, never being hugged my him again, never being scolded by him again...never laughing about silly jokes with him again...

"Why? Why did that happen...Dad...I love you...I love you so much..." She said in her heart, remembering all the nice times she spent with her father. That time would never come back. She would have to live without him forever.

On the other hand Ren still continued to cry, even though his father was very strict, he loved Ren and Kazuma from the bottom of his heart. Ren knew that very well, it was just that he, similar to Kazuma, could never express such feelings. Ren was more like his mother, who was very caring and openly showed her feelings. Even though she did nothing to try and stop Genma from throwing Kazuma out, mainly because she was disappointed that her son was so weak, she continued to support him atleast with money. She always thought of him, Ren sometimes found her sitting in Kazuma's room, talking to him, as if he was there. Two years after Kazuma was thrown out, she died. It was very hard on Ren, and now that he also lost his father...he felt like he was all alone. Even though that wasn't true, since he still had Kazuma and Ayano, he felt like he needed a more mature person at his side too. But that wasn't just it, it was because he lost his father, whom he loved so so much that he couldn't stop being sad. He knew he had to concentrate to beat the enemy now, but quite honestly, he didn't believe in a victory. If that person already was able to kill off Jugo and Genma, two of the strongest magic users in history, without much effort, what chance did Ayano, Ren and Kazuma have against him? Ren felt it, he sensed how they would probably get killed within a few minutes, he felt guilty, because after all, he could never protect the ones he loved. Even though that was always his dream.

After about an hour, Kazuma came back. He flew around the whole estate to look for the enemy, without any luck.

"Crap." He spat, ramming his fist into the wall. It was only natural that he would be angry, since he never had any problems finding enemies.

"Kazuma. " Ayano suddenly stated.

"Hmm?" Kazuma asked, turning around to look at her heart broken face.

"Why do you think that person attacks us?"

"There are many people who have a grudge against the Kannagi's, aren't there"?

"But...but they wouldn't be able to kill dad or uncle Genma!" she yelled in disbelief.

"I thought about a lot of possibilities. And it actually could be that I am the one at fault for all this. I know you will hate me if that was true Ayano, but..."

"What are you talking about! There probably are a lot of people who have a grudge against you since you slaughtered so many already! But who the hell would be able to beat dad and Genma?"

"Ayano, sadness changes into anger, and then into hate. People would do anything to pay their enemies back for what they did. I know that because it was the same for me. When Erwin killed Tsui-Ling I trained so hard, to kill him off. That fucking bastard who stole all my happiness. Also, of course, I trained to beat father, once in life I wanted to be stronger than him. And I suceeded. The person who is after us, probably became stronger, he maybe is even stronger then the three of us togetether now. That's also why I think, that you two should just leave, I will finish him off with my own hands, no matter what it takes."

"No way Kazuma! I have to be the one to kill him!"

"Ayano, don't be stupid, this is not a game."

"Avenging my fathers dad obviously isn't a game!" She yelled.

"Fucking hell Ayano, don't you get it? The enemy is very powerful and I won't be able to protect the two of you when he attacks. And you two are probably way too weak to face him!"

Ayano looked down. She knew this was true, but she didn't want to hear it.

Suddenly Kazuma's phone began to ring.

"Hello?"

"It's me Kirika, are you up yet? I will arrive at the mansion within two minutes."

Oh. It was already this late.

"Yeah I am. Father was just killed." Kazuma said, in a cold tone.

"What?" Kirika said shocked, tears already streamed down her face, not believing what she just heard.

"Yeah..." Kazuma replied, emotionless.

"This...this is..."

"I am counting on you." Kazuma said coldly and hung up.

Once again he tried to act like a tough guy even though his heart was being ripped apart.

"Is Kirika coming?" Ayano asked in a quiet voice.

"Yeah, alongside with the police, to investigate."

Kazuma went off to the gates to let Kirika inside, she looked around, were the still uncounsicous bodies of the guards laid.

"Why the hell are they still asleep?" A cop asked confused.

"Maybe they are not alive anymore." Kazuma replied, emotionless.

Kirika looked around and ordered one group of investigators to investigate on the guards. She then went in, the first thing she saw was Jugo's chopped off head in the meeting room. It looked at her, having an emotionless expression on his face.

She went over to it. She gently ran her fingers down his face.

"Jugo-sama. I will miss you..." She said, trying hard to hold back her tears. This woman had seen many deaths, they never touched her as much as the deaths of people close to her though.

She ordered another unit of cops to investigate at the crime scene in the meeting room. Then, they finally went over into the hall, were Genma's body was.

"Is? Is this really Genma?" Kirika burst out in disbelief, looking at his badly beaten up body.

"Doesn't look like anyone else to me." Kazuma coldly replied, inside he was crying.

"Genma." Kirika gave him a gentle kiss on the forehead. Ayano and Ren looked at her with wide eyes.

"Kirika-sama, so you were in love with father?" Ren asked curious.

"I was. The two of us wanted to get married. But we were worried that you might wouldn't have accepted me."

The four went silent for a while, all starring at Genma's lifeless body.

"I wish I could have heard those words coming out of his month again..:" Kirika quietly said. Kazuma looked at her, he recalled this feeling. He felt the same way when he lost his beloved Tsui-Ling. It was the worst feeling. He could feel for Kirika and went over to her, suddenly hugging her. Ayano's eyes widened, as she attempted to go over to Kazuma to scold him, Ren held her back, simply pulling on her shirt and shaking his head. She thought about it again and stepped back.

"This was no time for such things. After all, all of us feel awful pain right now. Kazuma just hugs Kirika because he feels sorry for her." Ayano thought, her eyes shifting from Kirika in Kazuma's arms and Genma's corpse.

As Kazuma let go of Kirika, a sword went right through her stomach and she was lifted up into the air by something that wasn't visible.

Kirika cried in agony, blood running down her body.

"Where are you?" Kazuma yelled, flying up to where Kirika was. He throw blades of wind at the invisible object that held Kirika, but all of his attacks were simply blocked. Ayano send fireballs flying at it, which were also blocked. The same thing happened when Ren used the golden flame.

Kazuma tried to free Kirika from the invisible beings grip.

"It's allright Kirika, I will get you out of here." He said to calm her down. But in truth, he didn't know whether he would really be able to save her.

He felt a strong power that would prevent him from even touch the invisible being.

"Just what the hell is this!" He thought, he never felt such a great power before.

It was simply outstanding.

He tried hard to get a hold of the beings grip but was eventually hit in the stomach by something invisible. It was so strong, that it even made the contractor fly against the wall. He got up instantly and activated his contract once again. He flew up to Kirika while Ayano stroke at the being with Enraiha. It was no use, the being blew Ayano away and she was became uncounsicous from the poweful attack. Ren rushed to her side, checking her pulse. When he made sure that she was fine he decided to hit the being with his golden flame again, but as he tried to do so, suddenly a robe tied him up. He still tried to use his fire magic, but realized that the robe was made of something which would seal off any magicans powers.

"This is? Just who the hell is this?" Ren asked himself, struggling to free himself.

As Kazuma finished he used all of his strength to try and blow the enemy up, but was just confronted with another failure. He could not get his attacks through the barrier that was set up by the enemy. Not even with his contracter powers. This was bad. But there was still a way. He send wind blades flying at the enemy from mulitple sides, to keep it busy, while he realized that the being was busy enough he used another blade of with to cut one of the beings "arms", which finally freed Kirika. Before her body would hit the hard ground, he caught her. The sword was still inside her body, making her suffer so much.

Kazuma tried to concentrate so that he could remove the sword with his powers, which would make her feel not much pain. He closed his eyes, but was blown away by another heavy attack. He was reckless. There was now a second sword piercing through Kirika's abdomen.

"!" She screamed, as the sword slowly and painfully pierced through her. Her eyes widened while screaming, searching desperately for help. Kazuma remembered this, it was just like when Tsui-Ling was killed by Erwin.

Kazuma struggled hard to get up, Ren was horrified by the scene and Ayano was still unconscius.

Kazuma was beaten up a lot, but that wouldn't prevent him from continuing the fight. Once again he remembered the situation similar to his, he remembered it so well, but this time, he wouldn't fail to protect the person. He swore to himself that he would never fail in protecting anyone again.

So he got up and attacked the being again, without any luck. Instead, attacks were fired at him, he tried to dodge them, but there just were too many. It was as if, 100 magic users were up against him. Many attacks hit him, but he still tried to fight back. Without any luck.

"Why? Why am I so weak again? Who the hell is this?" He thought, fearing that he would lose Kirika.

He once again tried to attack the enemy, but was knocked out by an attack which destroyed much of the Kannagi estate. Kirika was now laying on the floor, the swords disappeared, nonetheless her bleeding only got worse. Kazuma got up and rushed over to her side.

"We need to get away from here." He said, carrying her piggyback style. He was now covered in her blood.

Don't just l-eave Aya-no and Ren al-o-ne" She said weakly. I will come and save them when I made sure you are safe." He promised, even though he knew he couldn't garuntee it. As he tried to leave the mansion, he was thrown back by a strong barrier which even managed to get to him even though he was protected by the wind spirits.

"I will save you." He promised Kirika. But as he said that the thing he couldn't see chopped Kirika's head off with an enormous speed.

He was unable to save someone dear to him again. Who could have want to make him suffer so much? Whose style was that? He could only guess...

He sank to the ground, not caring what might happen to him and looked at the sky.

I hope you enjoyed this!
