Chapter 18

~Len POV~

A second ago I was in a room now I'm in a garden... how the hell did I manage to come here? I only played Ave Maria and now I'm-

"Len!", I heard Kahoko... was that my imagination? I must be thinking too much.

"I need to calm down", I said. I turned around and saw Kahoko standing right in front of me. She hugged me and called my name again. "Maybe I'm dreaming?", I told myself.

Kahoko held me arms length and said, "What's a dream? If you're telling me this is a dream? Then I should wake up from this nightmare!". I saw her pinch herself on her cheek then she whined, "Oww... that hurts".

Well... maybe it is a dream? I decided to slap my face. "Ouch... this isn't a dream...".

"Uwaa! Why did you do that Len?", Kahoko asked, I just blinked a couple of times. She pinched herself to see if she was dreaming, can't I do the same?

I looked around me and it seems that we're outside the mansion. "This really isn't a dream...", I said. But if this were a dream, this nightmare is a really great dream... to dream about Kahoko with me like this... she even hugged me!

"I agree", I heard Kahoko say.

"How did we got here?", I asked her.

She looked at me and gave me a bored expression. "I don't know".

I saw her holding a violin... did she play?

"Were you playing?", Kahoko asked while staring at the violin I was holding. I nodded. "Oh! I also played a while ago... but I was in a room... not here... how?".

"Don't ask me... I don't know what exactly is happening", I said before she asks me questions that even I can't answer.

Wait... now that I found Kahoko... I wonder where Sakura would be?

"Have you seen Sakura?", Kahoko and I asked in unison at each other.

And at the same time we answered, "No".

"Ah! Maybe she's still inside? That arrogant guy might do something to her!", Kahoko said and started running and for some reason I'm being pulled with her.

I prevented myself from running and it ended up her stumbling backwards resulting her back leaning on my chest.

"Len?".

"What?".

We both stared at what was binding us together... It was the black leather bracelet that I got from Yuu... and for some reason, it's like a handcuff because of the short chain that was attached to mine and Kahoko's.

"So you were at the end of that chain", Kahoko said.

"Oh... I only noticed it now", I said.

We both stared at each other for a while. What is happening? What is this?

"Let's look for Sakura. I'm worried about her... Can you run with me even if we have this?", Kahoko asked as she lift her wrist and pointed at the handcuff.

"Yeah... but, are you sure you want to go in?", I asked her. Obviously something bad will happen if we went in again.

Kahoko stared at me and mumbled, "I can't believe that I liked a coward guy".

C-coward? Who? I was only worried at the possibilities! "Fine", I said and started running, dragging Kahoko mercilessly.

"Hey wait up!", Kahoko said.

We suddenly heard something crashed from behind...

~Yuu POV~

"Watching you really is something. Trying to ignore your masters order, and it was an absolute order!", Reiga laughed as he watch me suffer.

Reiga is the person who awakened me from my deep slumber. This guy is a super sadistic person. He not only wants my powers but also my life.

"Why drag innocent people when you only want my powers?", I asked.

Absolute orders. It is the type of order that if a master or a high ranking being used, it takes complete control of the person being ordered. He can't have me entirely! I still have control of my mind but my body... this is why I hate this person. I'm forced to do things that I wouldn't do.

"I like seeing someone so powerful look so powerless. I mean, Silverylle, you're a crowned prince, powerful, smart, fast and has supernatural powers that levels a thousands of our being, yet you fell for a woman who took over your kingdom. She used you, didn't she?", Reiga laughed.

I glared at him. "It was her family that took over not her! She did not use me to take over!".

"But her family, the Shizuka family, murdered your family, the royal Rozen family. You must hate her".

"What does this have to do with the kingdom?"

"You have power and yet you don't use it to have what you want. You made plenty of people suffer because of your stupid love for the enemy. You murdered your lover Sara", Reiga said.

What is he planning twisting everything? First my powers, then the kingdom being taken way, now Sara?

"Wait! I did not mur-"

"You did! You let yourself get closer to her which made the entire Shizuka family angry and hate her and killed her! Don't you get it? it was because of you that's why she died. She could still be standing here with you if she wasn't killed", Reiga said.

I ended up being caught in his plans... he had a point, it was me who decided to love Sara. It was me who didn't even think of the kingdom and just acted ignorant and left the Rozen name leaving plenty of people suffering under the care of the Shizuka family. I didn't consider Sara's life being at stake and I just thought that everything will end up happily... but the Shizuka family wanted me to die. They used Sara to get to me... but then when they were about to kill me, Sara came and defended me from being killed and risked her life... That was supposed to be my time yet... I let Sara cover me. I'm the worst...

"And now that girl will die because of you", Reiga said. "Even if you're not the one to end, it'll be because of you anyway".

He will use Kahoko and make me see Sara. He'll use Len and make me feel guilty for looking at Kahoko. He'll use Sakura to add my sins...

"If only I didn't live... nothing like this would have hap-"

"What the hell are you talking about? Don't listen to him! He wants you to feel this way! Don't listen!", Sakura said shaking me.

"You don't know anything!".

"I'll know if you told me sooner! I can understand what he's trying to put up!", Sakura said.

"Oh really, little girl? You, if I kill him now it'll be your fault for messing around. Like he said, you know nothing", Reiga told her.

"Yuu didn't kill his lover! Isn't it her family who killed her?", Sakura said and turned her attention back at me.

"You don't know anything...", I told her. She doesn't need to get involved.

"Aww... what a nice scene... someone loves you Silverylle, she's defending you and keeping you from getting insane", Reiga said and lifted his hand directing it towards Sakura. "Let's make her see your history, shall we?".

Before I can react, I was late. Sakura's eyes were blank and I know inside her head there plays my past. She is now like a doll...

"What will you gain by doing this?", I asked Reiga. "She's not supposed to be part of this!".

"You took interest in her. Your fault", he laughed.

"EVERYTHING IS MY FAULT!", I shouted at him and carried Sakura and ran away as fast as I could before my body starts moving under Reiga's orders.

I managed to get away from his absolute order because I wounded myself. And now because of that wound, it's slowing me down.

I reached a corner and it was only either I go out from where Reiga will be showing his face or from this large window. I decided the window and used my powers to break it. I jumped out of the window and landed smoothly on the grass.

"Yuu!", I heard Len.

"Sakura!", I heard Kahoko.

Oh great! And here I thought these two would have run away once they saw each other.
