Luka listened to Yuki's silent breathing. Yuki had fallen asleep a few minutes after they were done expressing their love to one another. Luka felt calm with Yuki sleeping in his arms. He felt like it was a dream. There was a time when he thought that he'd never be able to hold his lover again. Yet, God had created a miracle. Yuki didn't remember everything about his previous life, but he knew some things and he definitely knew that Luka was someone very special to him. That was all Luka needed to feel reassured.

In the back of his mind, Luka wondered how Luze was doing. Reiga must have gone to check up on him. He had to find a way to protect Yuki and get him out of there as soon as possible. Something in him told him that danger was approaching his lover. There was an ominous feeling lurking around. Luka looked over at Sodom who was fast asleep in the corner of the room on his small bed. The sight brought a small smile to Luka's face. He didn't want to let go of the happiness he felt in his heart. He wanted to hold onto to it as long as he could.

Luze felt cold under his bed covers. It was the first time in a while that he had slept alone. Reiga's warm body beside him was missing so he found it difficult to fall back to sleep. A part of him hated himself for wanting his master to be in his bed, but the other part of him felt lonely. Why had it gotten to that point?

The door to the room gently opened. Kanata stepped inside with a small smile. He moved over to Luze's bed and sat down. "How are you feeling Luze?"

"I'm better master. Do you need anything?"

"You look tired and pensive Luze. Is something bothering you?" Kanata replied as he gently placed his hand on Luze's cheek. Luze automatically knew that Kanata was the one in front of him. He was a bit relieved that the gentle side of his master had appeared.

"No master, there's nothing bothering me."

"Are you sure? You know you can tell me anything." Kanata leaned forward and gently kissed Luze on the forehead.

"…I felt like a worthless low rank when Cadenza tried to have his way with me. I'm also still sore and tired after the night we shared." Luze was telling Kanata the truth, but he made sure not to mention the conversation between Luka and him. That was something he still needed to think about.

Kanata leaned away and looked at Luze. "I see…Cadenza tried to do such a thing to my precious Luze. He'll have to be punished."

Luze couldn't help but feel shocked after he heard the word precious come out of his master's mouth. He thought he would never hear anything like that directed to him. Kanata noticed the surprised look on Luze's face and laughed a little. "What's wrong? Is it strange to hear me call you precious?"

"With all do respect master, it is a bit strange. All my life I thought I'd never hear words of love."

"Well now you are. You're my precious one Luze. Your pain is my pain; your love is my love and your secrets and my secrets…" Kanata moved in to kiss Luze gently on the lips. He slowly traced his hand down Luze's face, down his neck and onto his shoulder. Luze kissed Kanata back with as much energy as he could muster. He hesitated to put his hand on the back of his master's head so he could deepen the kiss.

Love wasn't something he was supposed to feel. It was something he never dreamed of knowing or feeling, yet here he was consumed by an overwhelming love for his master. Kanata carefully pushed Luze down onto the bed as he hovered on top. He hadn't noticed how fast his heart was beating from a mere kiss. Something had definitely changed in him ever since he first slept with the beautiful Opast. Kanata slowly broke the kiss so he could look into Luze's eyes.

"Do you think you'll be able to do this tonight?" He asked.

"If it's what you want master, then I have no reason to disobey you."

"Luze…From now on, when it's just you and me…Call me Kanata, okay?"

Luze was taken aback by the sudden request. If he began to call his master by his name instead of saying master or using the honorific "sama" then it would only cause him more pain in the end. He wanted to believe that something could happen between them beyond what occurred under the bed sheets. He wanted to have something like his brother and Yuki had. Luze closed his eyes, wondering if it was all just a dream.

"Luze? Are you tired? Do you want to sleep?" Kanata asked a little concerned.

"No…I'm just trying to push myself to say your name like you asked me to."

"Ah, is that so? Then please do it."

Luze slowly opened his eyes and looked into Kanata's gentle ones. "Kanata…"

"Say it again," Kanata replied with a smile.

"Kanata…"

Kanata caressed the side of Luze's face before he went in for another kiss. Reiga and he needed to find out if Luze wasn't hiding anything else from them. The best method to discover the secret was through kindness. Kanata knew that, but he also felt like showing kindness to Luze because he wanted to. In his life, it was hard for Kanata to open his heart to people. Yuki and everyone at the orphanage were perhaps the only people he felt he could trust. The world was full of liars and people who betrayed you. He hated the world and many of the people who lived in it. Thinking about it all made Kanata wonder if killing Yuki was the best thing to do. What would happen if he took God's light away from humanity? Wouldn't it only cause more chaos and suffering?

While kissing Luze, Kanata had so many thoughts running wild inside his mind. The day of Yuki's execution was approaching. If he was going to change his mind, he would have to quickly think of a plan. In the end the question was whether he wanted to save Yuki or completely destroy him? The answer was still unknown.
