Sodom tilted his head as he watched Luka and Yuki kiss. He was happy to see his masters together like they were in their previous lives. They always spent time together and smiled at one another. Luka would randomly kiss Yuki when she least expected it and she'd blush in response. Sodom could see how much they loved one another. They were like a family and Sodom was treated like their child. Happy memories were soon pushed to the side. Sodom's ears began to twitch as he heard the sound of footsteps approaching. At the same time, Luka's eyes opened and he broke the kiss to look at the door.
"What's wrong?" Yuki asked with a worried expression.
"Someone's coming."
Yuki's eyes went wide. He quickly lifted himself up and moved away from Luka who stood up. Sodom flew onto Luka's shoulder, afraid that someone was going to come and hurt one of his masters. The lock clicked and the door opened. Luze stepped inside, not too happy to see Luka and Yuki together.
"What are you doing here?" Luze asked as he eyed Yuki before looking back at his brother.
"I heard Yuki in pain so I came to check if he was okay. He had a nightmare."
"Is that so?"
"Yes."
Luze stepped closer to Luka who didn't flinch or back away. The two brothers looked into each other's eyes and said nothing. Yuki could tell that they were talking through their eyes. It was frightening to watch.
"God's Light will have to face a form of torture soon. Reiga-sama thinks it would be a good way to show him his place. He won't be pampered any longer."
"I'd like to hear that from Reiga himself."
"Why does it seem like you don't like the idea of him being tortured?"
"I want to hear the orders from Reiga. It's not uncommon for a follower to only take his master's commands directly." Luka didn't show any sign of nervousness. He kept calm in the eyes of his brother while deep down hoping that what Luze said wouldn't be true. Luze scoffed and glared at Luka.
"Get to breakfast. We have a long day ahead of us."
Luze turned around and walked off. He sincerely hoped that Reiga wasn't going to back down with what he had said. God's Light had to be tortured for being the enemy. He also had to be punished for taking away the brother Luze once adored.

Luze appreciated the warm water from the shower head hitting his body. After an intense night and long day, Luze's body felt weak and sore, desperate for a good night's rest. He could clearly see some of the marks Reiga left on his body. There was no way to remove them. They were proof that Luze belonged to his master in every way. He had to conceal his pain from Elegy, Cadenza, Luka and all the other Duras throughout the day. If anyone was being tortured it was him and not God's Light.
"A body like yours should be shared Luze."
Luze turned around and saw Cadenza entering the bathroom and closing the door behind him. How he was able to enter, Luze wanted to know.
"Cadenza! Who told you to come in here?! Get out!"
"I don't think I want to." Cadenza grinned as he moved closer to Luze who quickly put out his hand.
"Get any closer and I won't hesitate to kill you."
Cadenza laughed. "How will you be able to hurt me in your condition? I could tell that you were struggling to keep a straight face today. Is Reiga really that rough in bed?"
Luze grew angrier and started to chant for his power, but nothing happened. He didn't want to accept it, but he was too weak to use his powers. Cadenza continued to look at Luze with a smug grin on his face. In no time, he moved closer to Luze and slammed him against the shower wall. "I told you, you wouldn't be able to do anything in your condition. It's a little sad to see you like this Luze."
"Take your hands off me."
"Reiga isn't around. It's a good chance for us to be alone, don't you think?"
Cadenza tightened his grip around Luze's wrists. He pressed Luze harder against the cold tiled wall and began to kiss Luze's exposed neck and shoulder. Luze didn't know what to do. He didn't want to scream for help, but he didn't want Cadenza to have his way with him either. Luze wondered if the curse of the Bloody Cross was the cause of all of his unfortunate luck. Why was he condemned to a life of misery while Luka was able to live with the person he loved in their past life? He hated his brother for abandoning him. He hated his brother for betraying them, but most of all he hated his brother for finding happiness.
"Cadenza…!"
Luze didn't notice when the door had opened. He didn't notice anything other then his thoughts until Cadenza was pulled off of him. He was in shock to see the person he was thinking so negatively about saving him from the General Class Dura.
"Luka!" Luze screamed out.
Luka looked over at Luze. His eyes went wide as he noticed the many bruises on Luze's body. "Luze…Who did this to you?"
"It was Reiga," Cadenza replied as he stood up from the floor, "Your brother is Reiga's sex toy. Don't you find that amusing Luka? You're brother is nothing but a whore."
Luka ran over to Cadenza and slammed him against the wall. Purple electricity was starting to course through his body. His eyes were filled with anger and his grip around Cadenza's throat tightened. Some of his power moved towards Cadenza who grunted in pain from the shock. In a matter of seconds, Luka let go of the red haired demon that collapsed unconscious on the floor. Luka kept his back turned to Luze who was looking at him in confusion.
"Is it true Luze…? Are you sleeping with Reiga?"
Luze looked down and hesitated for a moment. "I'll do whatever Reiga-sama commands."
"Why? I thought you'd never do anything that you found unworthy of your time."
"It shouldn't have happened…I can't love and yet…I'm in love with Reiga-sama and Kanata-sama! Why did this have to happen to me?!" Luka turned around and looked at his twin brother standing before him.
"When you love someone, you want to do everything in your power to make that person happy. I don't want to use this against you, but it's the only way I can confide in you as my brother."
Luze looked up. "What are you getting at?"
"I'll keep this silent if you help me protect Yuki."
"So you do still care about him…?"
"Yes, and I'll do anything to keep him safe. That's why I need you to help me."
"How would I do that?"
"By making Reiga fall in love with you. Once he does he won't want to hurt Yuki anymore and…" Luka paused to smile, "You'll be able to live happily with the one you love."
Luze couldn't believe what he was hearing. Was Luka really trying to be sympathetic to his feelings? Was he trying to make them allies just to protect God's Light? The smile on Luka's face was something Luze had rarely seen when they were together. It was a sight that made him even more beautiful. Is that what love did to someone? Did it allow more beauty to blossom within a person? Luze didn't know and he didn't understand.
What he wanted to know was whether allying himself with his brother was worth it or if it was a reckless action that would only cause him to betray the one he loved.
