Hey everyone! I'm sorry it took me forever to update this story! ;-; So much has been going on that I barely have time or motivation to work on my fanfics xD But anyway, here is the newest chapter to this story! Please enjoy :D
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Luze smoothed out his jacket as he looked at himself in the mirror. Kanata had gone to his own room to get dressed for the day. Luze could still feel Kanata's hands running down his back when they were in the shower. The thought made him shiver. The kind and gentle side of his master was the one that God's Light had grown up with. Luze felt a bit envious, knowing that God's Light had gotten everything anyone could ever dream of. First he had a dear friend who treated him with care as they grew older and then he discovered what it meant to fall in love with his brother Luka.
In only 24 hours he wouldn't need to worry about God's Light being a disturbance any longer. He would rise up with Reiga and gain the respect he had always deserved. But the words Luka had told him before, about helping him save God's Light and win Reiga's heart pushed those thoughts to the side. Could he really set aside all of his hatred to help his brother protect the one he loved? Would he throw it all away just to see if he had a real chance of true happiness with his master? The time was ticking and Luze felt indecisive with what he would do. In fairytales, the villain who decided to change their way of life and instead join the hero usually had a happy ending. Would the same outcome happen to Luze?

Yuki stood patiently in the room he had been locked in before. Luka was told to take him there and wait for Reiga to show up. Yuki was afraid of what would happen once Reiga arrived. Would he torture him? Would he tell Yuki his fate and end it once and for all? The door to the room slowly began to open as Kanata stepped inside, already dressed up in his uniform. Yuki looked into Kanata's cold eyes. The love and affection that Kanata used to have was no longer there.
Kanata closed the door and turned to look at Yuki. "How is your wound?"
"I-It's better. Luka made sure to take care of it," Yuki replied nervously.
"Was that all Luka took care of?"
Yuki couldn't help but blush at the sudden question. "W-What do you mean?"
"I know you well Yuki. Your face is also turning red. The Opast took the opportunity to make you his just like I thought he would."
"Kanata-san…"
"I know that he still loves you. He never really betrayed you to begin with. It was just an act to be here and protect you from me."
Yuki was surprised with the revelation. Kanata had known all along that Luka was still his enemy. He had been aware of Luka's true intentions with his fake betrayal from the very start. Kanata walked closer to Yuki and trapped him between the wall and himself. Yuki couldn't move. He stood in place with his eyes in direct contact with the man he used to trust more then anyone.
"We're both pathetic Yuki. We think we have everything all figured out, but we don't. The Crosszeria brothers have slithered their way inside our hearts and now we can't do anything to take them out."
"Kanata-san…Are you…?"
"In love with Luze? If I said yes, would it surprise you?"
Yuki couldn't believe what he was hearing. Kanata had fallen in love with Luka's brother, an Opast who had no care for anyone but himself. What was happening? Was the power of love actually working in Yuki's favor?
Kanata leaned his face closer to Yuki's which caused Yuki to become nervous. "I've already made an agreement with the Demon King to sacrifice you tomorrow. I was promised ultimate power over this wretched place we call Earth. Do you know how long I've wanted this?" Kanata looked into Yuki's sad eyes. He remembered Yuki had those same eyes whenever he would cry and think about why his parents didn't want him. Those eyes were his weakness ever since he first laid eyes on Yuki.
"I've waited for this moment for too long, so then why am I feeling doubtful about it? Why am I constantly thinking about letting you live and letting you go? Tell me Yuki. Why can't my heart be fully consumed by darkness? Why is there still some light?"
"It's because you aren't a bad person Kanata-san…"
Kanata's eyes went wide at those words. Yuki gently placed his hand over Kanata's chest where his heart would be. "This world can be a living hell filled with madness, sadness, hatred and darkness, but it can also be a wonderful place filled with love and happiness. We can still live the way we wanted Kanata. We can go to the park and have cook-outs with all our friends and loved ones. Everything could work out for you and for me. We'll always be together no matter what."
"How can you be so sure? You've left me before for the Opast and the Zweilts."
"Not anymore. This time I don't want to leave anyone behind. Please Kanata-san, we can figure out a way to stop the Demon King and end all of this once and for all."
Kanata gently placed his hand on Yuki's cheek. Why would he want to destroy the very person that gave him a reason to keep believing in humanity? Why would he want to destroy the ray of light that gave life any meaning? Kanata carefully embraced Yuki into his arms and held him as tightly as he could. The night he had spent with Luze and the words Yuki had just said were enough to push him into making a decision. He would find a way to save Yuki, even if it cost him his own life.
