Shuichi tilted his head up, staring blankly at the sky.

"You know…" He began softly "You must've…"

"Yeah?"

"Really loved him." Shuichi remarked

Sara smiled softly.

"You have no idea how much." She sighed "I can see everything with my eyes. I can see every action I'll make, everyone every one else will make… but, I can never predict how I'll feel. I mean, all my existence, I knew that I was going to fall in love with Kaname Yuki, and bare him a son, my Eiri, but I never understood how much I would love him. I could never have predicted the way my heart would flutter when I saw him, when his laugh, his smile spread to my face. The way my stomach do would do flips of excitement when his lips touched mine…"

There was a beat of silence as Shuichi took in her words.

"Do you still…?"

"What?"

"Love him?"

After pausing, Sara turned her head towards Shuichi, meeting his vibrant violet eyes.

"And then what happened?" Yuki asked

Kaname was silent for a moment before shifting in his throne.

"Then," He continued "I made a very, very foolish mistake."

FLASHBACK

You have to kill it, Kaname."

Kaname's head whipped towards the Demon Lords.

"What?"

"That abom--… that child. It's almost here. You have to kill it, soon."

It was true. Sara was swiftly nearing the date of birth, her belly was proud and sticking out as she made her way around the castle.

She spent al of her time there now, having been evicted from heaven, disgraced by the angels, she spent nearly every hour in hell or on Earth.

"No." Kaname said simply

"Kaname, please. Listen to reason." The Demon Lord spoke, like a father lecturing his young child. "You can't honestly expect that… to rule the kingdom of Hell."

"Regardless of what his choice is, Father, no harm shall come to him."

"Is that so?"

Kaname nodded.

"Just imagine it, Kaname." The Demon Lord began. "A child, an heir to the throne, born of both demon and angel. Do you understand what that will bring upon our heads? The war that will come…"
"Fath--."

"It will be like ancient times. Angel versus demon. Demon verses angel. A battle of light and dark. Countless casualities! Kaname, do you understand?! Do you think your goddess, hell, your child, can deal 

with that?"
"Do not automatically assume that the child will be weak!" Kaname shouted

"I am not! I'm assuming that he will be strong." The Demon Lord shouted, standing up out of his throne. Kaname faltered and fell silent. "Strong beyond belief. Beyond measure! Think of it. No one may want Sara now, but that is because she is merely a vessel. She brings an incredible power into this world. A being consisting of both light and dark powers. Of both angel goddess and pure demon. Each of the three worlds will want it, will wage war for that power. Do you see the pain , the devastation that his will cause?"

Kaname paused, contemplating his words.

"Father," He spoke at last. "If you had known, before my birth that I would be a weak Chaos Wielder… but that if I didn't make it into this world, a stronger one would be granted to you." He paused, bringing his amber eyes up to his father's. "Would you have driven your blade through mother's womb?"

The demon lord fell silent, unable to answer.
"Then don't--."
"Yes."

Kaname's eyes widened.

"I would have impaled your mother through, until I pierced your flesh."

There was a beat of silence

"I would have given up what I loved more than anything if it meant prosperity for this kingdom."
"You mean an easy way out, Father." Kaname spoke "I'm sorry I don't have you sentiments, but I'm prepared to fight for what I want."

Kaname stopped, surprised as the Demon Lord began to laugh.

"I--." He began "My Kaname…" He chuckled. "My foolish, impatient son. You never learn. Your rashness, your determination will one day be your downfall."
"Is that so?" Kaname asked, turning around and continuing to walk.

"Yes, that is exactly the case, and nothing has changed Kaname. If you don't kill the child. I will."

At this, Kaname chuckled.
"We shall see, Father. We shall see."

Sara lay still, feigning sleep as Kaname entered their bedroom.

"Sara?" He whispered, approached the bed "Love, are you awake?"

There was a beat of silence before Sara heard the bed shift, and felt Kaname's lips press against hers, and then her proud belly.

"I'm sorry, Love. But I have to kill him." Kaname sighed. "It's my only choice. Otherwise he'll… and then force me as his heir. But this way, if he's gone… he can't… right?"

Using all her inner strength, Sara remained silent.

"Just don't worry. Everything will be fine. I promise."

Kaname sighed, standing off the bed and walking out of the bedroom, his boots clanking loudly.

Hearing the door open, and then close, Sara opened her eyes to wipe away the silent tears that fell.

'And then… everything comes to an end.'

"Why, Kaname, what's with that murderous look in your eyes?" The Demon Lord spoke. "You look all business-like, come tell Father what's wrong." He mocked

Kaname chuckled.



"Father." He said, deadpan "Do you still retain your decision?"

Intrigued, the Demon Lord shifted in his throne, while Kaname took the moment to look around the throne rom.

'Empty' He thought 'Good, it'll be easier this way.'

After a beat, Kaname's father spoke.

"Yes," He said, his eyes meeting his and watching as Kaname slowly approached the throne. "I will do everything in my power to protect this realm. To protect this family. This line. That is my destiny."

"Is that so?"

"Yes, just as it is your destiny to remain a weak wielder of the chaos. To eventually rule over this realm as I have."

Kaname fell silent.

"You can't run away from your destiny, Kaname Yuki. All you can do is fight to remain on the path you were given."

There was a moment of silence between the two. Between father and son, as Kaname contemplated his father's words.

Could he really not change his destiny? Shift his fate? Was he destined to follow the path his father had set for him?

No. He couldn't believe that. Couldn't accept it. No. He refused to.

He would fight it. He would contain it, he would change it.

"I'm sorry, Father, but I don't agree with you." He stopped at the edge of the stairs to the throne. "But… I'll carve out my own destiny." His eyes met his "Starting with your flesh!"

The Demon Lord's eyes widened.

"Chaos Blade!"
