Lapis Pov

We came back home yesterday, yeah I could call the Kannagi resisdence my home now. Kazuma was awaiting us with Jugo-sama in the meeting room. We talked a bit and Kazuma seemed glad that I enjoyed myself. I did too. I was so surprised that something so simple could be so much fun. The next day I went on a walk with Kazuma.

"It's good to know that you get along with everyone." Kazuma said with a smile.

"Yeah it is."

"They are all your friends now."

"Are they?"

"Of course..."

"And what about you...?"

"I am...well..."

Would he say that he was only taking care of me because I had the body of Tsui-Ling? Probably. That was probably the only reason.

"You know Lapis..I want to know something..."

"What?"

"The part of her, which you said is still alive inside of you, can you feel it?"

"No. I can't feel anything. But I get flashbacks of Tsui-Ling's life alot."

"What do you see?"

"Happiness. A lot of happiness."

He suddenly stopped walking and turned around to look at me.

"Is something wrong?" I asked concerned.

"No...I just thought that...you would have painful memories."

"I do. At first the only memories I had were painful. The only emotions that were left in the life essence I recieved from her were pain and sadness. The colour of my eyes reflected these emotions. But after sometime I got flashbacks from her life and saw that before Master kidnapped her and killed her she was very happy."

"Do you know what made her happy?"

"Being with you." I simply said with a light smile. His eyes widened in disbelief. He turned away. Was he crying? Did I say something to make him feel bad? I was scared, I didn't want to cause him any pain anymore...

Suddenly, as he calmed down, he turned around. I was surprised when I felt his arms around my waist. He placed his head onto my neck. I didn't know how to react at all. But like I did it with Ayumi-chan I just hugged him back. It would probably make him feel better.

"Is everything alright?" I asked with concern.

Kazuma's Pov

Everything in her is like Tsui-Ling, expect, her personality, her eye colour and...her smell.

"I am alright, don't worry." I said as I realeased her.

"I will make sure to protect the part of Tsui-Ling that is still alive inside of you. This time I will protect you for sure. I promise, no I swear. Something like this will never happen to you again. I will protect you. " I said as I strocked her soft cheecks. They were cold. Was she freezing? It was sunny today, she shouldn't.

"Kazuma..." She looked at me as if she regretted something.

"You know what I did to you, you shouldn't protect someone like me..." she said as she turned away.

"You are not the one I want to protect. It is the part of Tsui-Ling that is still alive inside of you. That is the only reason, if it wasn't for that I would have defeated you by now. "

That was what I said. But I wasn't certain myself if I could do something like that. I don't think I would be able to kill her, since it would only make me believe I just killed Tsui-Ling.

"I see, then that's alright Kazuma..." She said quietly as she turned back to look at me.

I didn't know what else I could talk with her about now. The conversation we just had kinda ruined the mood. I didn't want to talk anymore. I just wanted to get a good rest and think everything over.

"It's getting late, let's get a taxi I will escort you home."

"Wont you stay at the Kannagi mansion tonight?"

"Nope. Pops is going to be there tonight. I can't stand to look into his pathetic face."

"Okay."

At the meeting room in the Kannagi mansion

No one's Pov

Jugo and Genma were sitting in the meeting room, drinking some tea.

"So, for how long are you going to let the freelancers stay here?" Genma suddenly stated.

"Hmm. I haven't decided about that, but they are good people. I will let them stay for as long as they like. Besides that, Ren seems to be in love with that girl called Ayumi. It will be nice to have the two married within the next 6 or 8 years, don't you think?"

"Yes. There was no right match from the clan for Ren to begin with. But I think that Ayumi is made for him. The two will be able to handle things here well. I am sure of it. The thing which bothers me more is Lapis appearrance. Wasn't she that bastard's servant? Why is she here?"

Jugo sipped on his tea and replied calmly

"She seems to have changed. Ever since her master left her to die and Kazuma saved her. Kazuma himself thinks that she wasn't bad from the beginning. He said that she probably just did what her master told her to do, and since she doesn't know anything about this world we can't blame her."

"I was expecting bullshit like this from him." Genma said turning away disgusted.

"He could be right."

"But she could have been sent here by her master. Maybe everything, even the "left her to die" stuff was a set up."

"You could be right Genma. But we will find out if that is the case. We wont let them harm us. We are so much stronger than them. If something was to happen we..."

"Would kill Lapis right here..."

"Ehhh...well...I guess yeah.." Jugo wasn't too fond of this idea. Even though he didn't admit it to Genma yet, he actually grew fond of Lapis too. Especially when he saw how she played with Ren and Ayumi. However Jugo could fully understand Genma's concerns.

"I will keep an eye on the situation if you allow me to."

"Yes. Just don't steal to much of her privacy."

"I wont stalk her."

In Lapis room...

Lapis Pov

I looked into the mirror and gazed at my face. But no, it wasn't my face at all. It was that of someone else. I was confused. But what I heard from Kazuma today made me feel at ease. He wouldn't protect me, Lapis. He would protect the part of Tsui-Ling I carry inside of me. So that was why he saved me so many times...it wasn't because we were friends...Wait...I don't even deserve his friendship after everything I did, so what am I thinking? Ah well, let's just stop thinking about that. Maybe I should colour my nails today...Yeah that would be nice. I took out a red nail polish and applied it to my nails. I was statisfied with the result and let it dry. I heard the door to my room open. Who could it be at this hour? Well...only one person..right? I smiled lightly to myself as I turned around and saw her standing there in her pyjamas.

"What's wrong Ayumi-chan?"

"Nothing. I just can't sleep yet and wanted to see what you're doing.."

She walked towards me and looked at my nails. Her eyes grew wide and happy.

"Hey they look so cute! Can you do mine too?"

"Which colour would you like?"

"Do you have rose?"

"Let me take a look..." I went to check my cosmetic bag and found a light rose nail polish. This colour would definetely suit her.

"Yay!" She cheered when she saw the nail polish. I applied it to her small beautiful nails and was surprised that I smiled while doing that...Why was I happy right now?

"Lapis onee-chan, will you go to the amusement park with me tommorow?"

"What is that?"

"It is a place where you can have fun. A lot of fun actually! And since you had so much fun at the hot spring already, I want you to have more and more fun! So, what do you say?"

I actually was a bit nervous since I had no idea what would await me over there but seeing how Ayumi-chan was looking forward to it I agreed.

"I will go there with you."

"Great! Then let's go to bed now, we need a lot of energy for tommorow!"

Energy? Now I really wondered what we would have to do over there.

"Will you sleep here Ayumi-chan?"

"Yes if you don't have anything against it?"

"No, not at all." I liked sleeping with her. It felt so...warm and good. It made me happy.

We laid down in bed and she hugged me tightly.

"Lapis onee-san..I love you.." I was stunned. It's the first time someone said this to me. How should I react?

"Why?"

"Because I love you! There is no reason!" She replied hugging me tighter. I...I just didn't know how to respond! But I felt so happy...I...I think I also loved her...After all she was very precious to me.

"I love you too Ayumi-chan." I replied. Saying these words felt so damn good.

The next morning...

It was still early and I got dressed while I heard Ayumi-chan yelling.

"Lapis onee-chan hurry!"

"Yeah I will be ready in a min..." I replied. She was so full of enegery today...

I got out of the room.

"Finally!" Ayumi stated with a bright smile.

"Shall we go then?" I asked with a light smile.

"Yep!"

As we walked towards the door Kazuma approached us.

"Were are you two going?" He asked in a serious tone.

"The amusement park onii-chan."

"That is a great idea...where is Ren? I think he should go with you two.."

He was probably worried again...worried that master would show up.

"He said he would meet Kanon and the gorilla today..."

Suddenly Ren came running into the room.

"I would much rather go to the amusement park with you two though!" he said.

"Go with them Ren, you know why..."

"Nii-sama, where will you be?"

"I have work to do, call me if something happens. Protect these two." He said and with that he left.

At the amusement park

Ren's Pov

Me, Lapis onee-chan and Ayumi passed the enterance and I couldn't believe my eyes when I saw who was standing infront of me.

"What are you two doing here? I mean nice to see you.." I said giggling.

"Hey Ren! We just heard from Ayano onee-san that you changed your plans and went to the amusement park to show your elder cousin from China around, she offered us to come along. Ren you should have told us about this earlier!" Kanon said hugging my arm. I felt so intimated whenever these two showed up.

"Kanon it's his choice what to do and what not and let go of him you are bothering him." The gorilla said.

"Oh no it's okay Kanon." I giggled.

"Hear that Baka Gorilla! You stay away from him, why did you come here anyway, I thought you hate amusement parks?"

"What are you talking about? Don't make things up you litte...!."

"Hey don't fight okay?" I interuppted to calm the two down. Why did it have to end up like this?

I noticed that Lapis-onee-san was starring around. She probably wanted to get going.

The two seemed to have calmed down a bit.

I was glad, I didn't want to spoil this day. For Lapis onee-san sake...

Lapis Pov

We had a lot of fun and after we tried almost everything out it was almost dawn. I thought that we should head home now, not to worry Kazuma too much. But there was still one thing we haven't tried. The thing called ferris wheel. Ayumi took my hand gently, she desperetaly wanted to go on that thing.

"Onee-chan after this we will go home."

"Okay..." I replied and went towards the cash point with her.

"Ren let's play some more!" The baka gorilla said, the three were standing infront of a toy vending machine. Ren turned around to us.

"Hey were are you two going?"

"The ferris wheel!" Ayumi replied.

Ren wanted to run towards us but was pulled back by his two friends.

"Ren let's play here I don't want to go on the ferris wheel."

"Get me this stuffed doll Ren and don't listen to that Baka Gorilla!"

"It's okay Ren-kun, you can play with your friends, we will come back to this vending machine later." I assured.

"Okay, take care." He replied while looking quite worried. We will come back here when the ride is finished, so there is nothing he needs to worry about. I tried to assure him that with a light smile.

At the ferris wheel

Ayumi's Pov

"Wow the sight from here really is amazing." Lapis onee-chan said with sparkling eyes. I was glad. She sure had a lot of fun today, and so did I. I really loved Lapis onee-chan a lot. The last time I went on the ferris wheel was when I first met Ren. It was one of the best days in my life and I would never forget all the fun we had back then. I think that today is also such a day. I am on the ferris wheel with a person I love from bottom of my heart I would never forget this day with Lapis onee-san.

Lapis POV

Out of all things the ferris wheel was my favorite. I was disapointed when the ride stopped and hoped I could come here again soon. When we got out of the seat I remembered our promise to Ren, but when I looked around the toy vending machine was nowhere to be seen. I got nervous and tightened the embrace around Ayumi's hand. What in the world was going on? Ayumi felt my tension and asked worried

"Lapis onee-san, what's wrong?"

I didn't want to make her feel the way I did now, I didn't want to frighten her, I thought it would be best to keep this a secret from her. What was I so worried about anyway? Nothing will happen...we will find Ren soon...ah right I think I will just give him a call if we haven't found him at the exit...

"It's nothing Ayumi-chan." I replied with a light smile.

"Hey, do you see the cotton candy stand over there? I want some!"

"Let's go there then..."

After we ate our cotton candy Ren was still nowhere to be seen.

"Lapis onee-san, where is Ren?"

"I d-do-don't know..."

"I think we should give him a call! Maybe something happened to him!"

I started to shiver. If something happened to him it would be my fault again. Kazuma and Ayano would definetely never forgive me if something happened to their forsterling.

I looked around nervously.

"Maybe he already went out, lets check the exit first."

I took Ayumi's hand and ran as fast as I could but was interuppted by a sudden blast of wind. Could this be him? Kazuma? If it was him then that meant I didn't had to worry about anything...no wait...it would mean something really happened to Ren!

I heard a familiar evil grin and once again my whole body started to shiver. No, no, no, that just couldn't be!

"Nice to see you after so long Lapis." Bernhardt said with a smirk while flying down to us.

I remained emotionless, but something inside me hurt, what was this feeling? Fear perhaps?

"So, you have made some friends I see." He continued.

I remained silent and emotionless.

"I was really upset about how you fought me the last time. The more upset I was about how I had to hurt you for it. Come back Lapis and everything will be alright. Let's fight against Kazuma, the one who took everything from you, together like we did before."

"No." I managed to say.

"I didn't hear what you say. Please raise your voice."

"NO!" I yelled.

He looked surpirsed but started to laugh mockingly the next moment.

"Then I think I have to take you back by force."

He threw a sand storm towards us making it unable to see anything, I felt how Ayumi's hand realesed mine. I tried to grab her but I had no idea where she was. When the sand storm finally ended I fell to the ground coughing. When I looked up Master Bernhardt was holding Ayumi-chan by the hair violently. My whole body started to shake, I felt something I never felt before. Please don't hurt her! Please just let her go she has nothing to do with this! This is all my fault, why didn't I just obey my Master? I had no other choice anyway...There was one way to end this maybe I thought, or maybe atleast a way to save Ayumi. I checked my pockets for my cell phone, but it was not there. It probably broke in the sand storm. No...This just couldn't be happening!

I got up and looked at Bernhardt.

"Please...don't hurt her...please let her go...I will come back...I really will."

"I am not sure about letting her go. I think she would make a real good servant too. And since you are so fond of her maybe you wouldn't mind having her company in my mansion."

"No! Please let her go! I swear I will do anything but please let her go!" I yelled sinking to the ground once again. I suddenly felt something wet running down my cheecks. Why? So this was what fear and despair felt like? This was what Kazuma felt when Armagest murdered Tsui-Ling? Was the way I felt right now the same he felt back then? It was a horrible feeling...

"Lapis, what in the world did this rotten Kannagi's do to you? Just look at how pathetic you cry for mercy. I can't stand it." Bernhardt said coldly. While preparing a electricity attack aimed at Ayumi. I came to my senses and got up as soon as I could. Ripping Ayumi-chan out of his strong grip and shelding her with my body. I felt the pain of the electricity running through my body. But it didn't matter now. All that mattered was that Ayumi-chan was save. I fell back to the ground when the attack, which seemed like it would last forever, finally ended. I was worn out. The attack was really strong and I wasn't sure if I could protect Ayumi with my damaged body any longer. I heard Bernhardt laugh evilly.

"My Lapis. See this is why it is best not to have any emotions. Not to love anyone. Loving someone will only get you in trouble. If you wouldn't have saved this girl you wouldn't be hurt. I kinda feel sorry for you."

I wanted to talk but it took too much strenght. I heard him coming closer. He already passed me so that could only mean he would try to hurt Ayumi again. I got up with the bit of strenght that was still left in my body. I couldn't get on my feet though so I kept sitting on the ground. I streched out my arm to my master.

"Please...stop...don't hurt her..." I said weakly while trying to grab his arm. The next thing I felt was an awful pain as he kicked me in the face.

"Hmph how pathetic." He said mockingly.

He was so violent. I heard Ayumi struggle against him as he grabbed her up again. It's all my fault...

"You stupid brat. It's because of you that my Lapis changed to the worse." He took his anger out on her now. I had to do something. As he fired an attack at her which would send her flying through a wall I quickly caught her with my last strenght. But I couldn't stop the attack. Instead of her, I was the one who flew through the wall. I felt my back hurt. I probably had some broken rips. But all that didn't matter now..atleast..Ayumi-chan...Ayumi-chan...was... I felt my eyes getting heavy and everything around me went black.

Ayumi Pov

As Bernhardt sent us flying through the wall Ren apeared out of nowhere and aimed some fireballs at Bernhardt which took him off guard for a sec.

"You annoying brat. Did my curse wear out already?"

"Cheap curses like that wont last long on the Kannagis!" He assured confident.

Bernhardt smirked.

"You are getting more and more like your big brother kid."

I wondered if Ren contacted Kazuma, since he would be the only one who could get us out alive of this. Not that I didn't have faith in Ren's strenght but Bernhardt surely was too much of an opponent for him. I was sure thought, that one day, he would be able to defeat people as strong as Bernhardt Rhodes.

I felt a huge tornado coming our way, standing in it was Kazuma. I was glad.

"I will retreat for now." Bernhardt said, teleporting away.

"Coward!" Kazuma shouted angered. But his expression changed when he spotted the motionless Lapis. He ran towards us with a face I never saw of him. It showed, fear, despair, regret... and...love perhaps?

"Lapis onee-san protected me that is why she is so hurt! I feel so bad. It's my fault that she is hurt so badly."

"Don't say that. Lapis saved you because she loves you. As much as you love her. Can you tell me what attacks the scumbag used?"

"The first was an electricity attack. After that he kicked her in the face. And then he used an attack which sent us flying through this wall."

"I see..." He said while wiping the blood off her face with a rag. He lifted her up bridal style.

"Ayumi are you hurt anywhere? I am taking Lapis to a hospital. If you are hurt you should go too."

"No I am perfectly fine."

"Are you really sure?" Ren asked concerned. I blushed at how worried he was about me.

"Don't worry Ren, I am sure she would tell you if she was in pain. Take her home for now. I will see you guys later." He said and flew away.

I really don't remember the name of that friend of Ren Kanon calls Baka Gorilla, that is why I just used "Baka Gorilla" instead of his actual name! If you know his name let me know! Pls review! :D
