Mana and Emiko stood on guard in a second after hearing that warning.
Few seconds later, Setsuna broke the kiss again, but this time, it was because of her.
She suddenly felt the pain in the stomach got worse and couldn't breathe well.

" Secchan! " Konoka asked worriedly.
" You, Princess! Get out of the room! Now! And quick! " the blond girl approached them with concern. It was rare of her to act like this, but this problem needed to be fix before the worse would happen.

" But why Eva-chan! What is wrong with Secchan! " Konoka asked even more loudly.

One minute before she was all calm and saw her knight's smile, and right after she's in pain. It was too much to hold. Emiko, who understood what was happening, came to their side to take Konoka out.

" Forgive me Princess, but this is for your safety. " Emiko said and in a second, she lifted Konoka from her dear love. Evangeline turned to see who was this new girl. She didn't even sense her presence as she walked towards them.

" Thanks. " Evangeline said, smirking to her.

" Secchan! " Konoka yelled. But Setsuna was having too much difficulties to breathe to talk or even look at her princess.

" Let me go!" Konoka yelled, debating to get away from the grip.

" You're welcome. " Emiko replied, smiling back at Evangeline and ignoring Konoka's protests. She suddenly disappeared from the room.

Mana walked to see her friend's condition.
" What is wrong with Setsuna? " she asked, always as cool as she was.

" Her demon side. " Evangeline answered, putting her hand on Setsuna's forehead.
" It's taking over the control. " Evangeline continued, as she touched Setsuna's stomach.

" Is it because of Konoka? " Mana asked, referring to the warning from earlier.

" I think so. Well, I suppose she is the reason why this bird-brained's emotions are a mess. Her demon side saw it as an opening to take over. Which means..." Evangeline replied while she got up. Mana was listening carefully.

" If Setsuna can't clear and control her emotions, but let it be a mess like this, her demon side will devour all of her feelings to make her completely a demon." Evangeline finished.

" How is that possible? I'm myself a half-demon, and I never heard any of that. " Mana asked, watching her friend in pain.

" Have you ever met a demon with feelings? " Evangeline answered back to Mana, looking at her.

" Feelings you know, are what make human-beings, human. In your case and Setsuna, the feelings are what you got from your legacy. That's why you're half demon, and half human. If you can't feel emotions, what is left for you is your demon side. For human being, to not have any emotions makes you either a psychopath, or a drooling kid. " Evangeline smirked even more, walking outside.

Mana was a bit taken back from what she heard. Nevertheless it made sense now. That's why sometimes, she felt angry or pissed off like Setsuna was in the office the morning. However, she never came to the point of Setsuna. Hopefully.

Acting cool, is not only for the image.

" Why did you take me away! Who are you anyway to do that! " Konoka shouted at Emiko, still held on the taller girl's shoulder. They were standing in front of the entrance of the temple.

" Me? I told you before, I'm your new bodyguard. I judged that your life was in danger, so I took you away." Emiko said before replacing Konoka correctly on her shoulder.

" Now, if you give me your word that you won't dash away from me, I'll put you down on your feet, is that okay for you Princess Konoka? " Emiko asked kindly.

Konoka nodded quietly. Although she noticed it, Emiko wanted to be funny.

" I didn't hear a word! " the dark-hair girl said loudly as she shook Konoka.

' She is just super cute. ' Emiko thought with a smile.

" I said YES! " Konoka stated louder. Her face was reddening with irritation.

" That's better. " Emiko said, slowly putting Konoka down on her feet.

" Thank you. And you know, you can put away your arm around my waist. " Konoka told her as she glared at her. Emiko giggled, and tightened her grip.

" In case you run away from me. It seems that you love her enough to break your word. " Emiko said, still holding her smile.
Konoka blushed at the sentence.

" That was quiet a romantic kiss that you had. If being your bodyguard ends up like this, I'll be delighted to wait for this moment. " Emiko said happily.
Konoka was now pissed off.

" It will never happen. Secchan is the only one I love and will ever love. " Konoka replied.

" Oh don't say that Princess. It would be a shame. Do you know that love kills as much as it heals? " Emiko said as she faced Konoka.

" What do you mean? " Konoka looked at her.
Emiko drew her closer.

" When you lose a love, the pain kills more than anything. You think that nothing is worthy, and that no one can replace what you lost. " Emiko said dropping her smile. She captured Konoka's eyes so the latter could see deeper in hers.

" But you know, what can cure love is love itself. When you meet someone new who can makes your heart beat with love rythm again, you then realize that nothing is impossible. That you can survive love. " Emiko said smiling weakly.

But her eyes...

' Can you see it? Can you read it? Can you...'

Konoka couldn't break the eye-contact. She tried to but failed. Because something in her eyes was...really attracting.

' It's over-flowing. It is beyond the limits. How can you stand to watch all of these?
Tell me. '

Emiko was looking at something in Konoka. She saw so many things in those pretty eyes. She was reading easily.

' Here's the key for everything. Take it for granted, because I can see your sincerity... '

Konoka felt so bad. She was here in someone else's arms, looking deeply in her eyes, and seemed to not be able to look away. While the one she loved was in pain.

' Why?' she thought.

' There's so many...scars. It's like a nightsky. So dark. But at the same time, so starry.'

Emiko moved her face forward. Five inches away from Konoka's...

' You may drown too. But your heart is somewhere else. I wish could make a wish. '

" Is it because my eyes are pretty, Princess Konoka? " Emiko finally asked, soflty.
Konoka could felt her breathe against her lips. She sounded so...sexy. She blushed at the statement. But eventually drew a smile on her face, filled with tender and sympathy.

" You are right. You have...such a beautiful glare. I can't help myself from drowning in it. You have something in your eyes that just wants me to. " Konoka then drew back her head. Emiko let go of her grip.

" However, you're trying to catch the wrong person. I can feel how poweful your love can be. Actually, you have the same hold in your eyes as my Secchan. And that is what I love the most when I look into her eyes. " Konoka then turned her back, watching the temple doors.

" You seem to have endured a lot. There is so mysteriousness in your eyes. I guess that's what we call a mysterious glare? " Konoka smiled soflty.

" But it is not me that you're looking at. It is not me that you're looking for. " Konoka faced back Emiko, eyes in the eyes. The new bodyguard then smirked.

She was right about her.

" You know, you really make me wanna try to get you. But because I understand how pure your feelings are for Setsuna, I won't bother you again like this. But hey, don't blame me if you fall for me later. " Emiko smiled charmingly. Konoka blushed a little at this.

' What a strange night! ' she thought as she felt her heart beat hard.

" Whatever so, I can't let you go back to Setsuna right now. " Emiko said, walking past Konoka and sit on the stairs of the entrance.

" But why is that? What's happening to her? " Konoka asked, the worry still echoed in her voice.

" Well...I'm not sure I could answer that..." Emiko hesitated and laid her eyes on a spot. Then Evangeline appeared.

' How did she know I was coming? And what's more, in the right place?' Evangeline thought, as she walked half way towards them.

" There you are. Princess, come over here for a sec. We have to talk about your...well, about Setsuna. " Evangeline ordered, waiting for Konoka to join her.

As asked, the brown-hair girl ran quickly to the small vampire. Despite the distance, Emiko heard the conversation.

' Just like I thought...'
