Luka impatiently stomped his feet as he sat right in front of the blond haired man. "Are you sure about this?" Takashiro questioned the dark haired man. "Yes" Luka answered with a toneless voice and looked out the window, it was ridiculous how much he missed his young youth. "Very well… So, how is Yuki doing?" Luka smiled as he thought of his lover. "His fine" Takashiro wrinkled his eyebrows. "Could you give me some more information, please?" "Well, both of us have been good since we came to the hill. Things are starting to get back to normal, just like it always has been" Takashiro studied the man with critic eyes. "So… everything worked out?" "Yes" Takashiro watch the daydreaming man and cleared his throat in order to get the other man's attention. "You haven't notice anything abnormal concerning Yuki's behavior?" Luka's smile disappeared and he met Takashiro's eyes.
"Are you searching for something specific?" "In fact, I am" "Spit it out!" Takashiro sighed "His condition when he sleeps… It's worrying me" Luka studied Takashiro's serious face "When he sleeps…?" "Yes, he seems to be suffering of terrible nightmares" Luka thought for a while and remembered "He seems indeed" Takashiro grabbed Luka's arm "Luka, I think it might be Reiga's work, he's up to something" "Oh no…" Luka covered his face with his hand. "Oh no, not now" Takashiro let go of Luka's arm and stood up. "Hey, as long he is inside the barrier he's safe, right? But I think it would be best if you brought him here" Luka stared once again out the window. "Yeah…" "And it would be better for all of us if that happened right away" "I know that already…" Takashiro studied the dark haired man with sad eyes. "I know it's hard, but we have do what is best for Yuki" Luka stood and turned against Takashiro. "Let's go"
When the two men walk into the big hall, they met Hotsuma and Shusei. "Ah Luka, are you here?!" Shusei smiled while Hotsuma snorted in disbelief. Luka made a forced smile. "Yes, we had a little conversation, but we will be going now" Takashiro said "Very well, where is Yuki?" Shusei continued. Luka met Shusei's eyes "He's still at the hill, but…" "Are you sick?!" Hotsuma suddenly shouted. "You have to be mental, you can't leave Yuki in the middle of nowhere, he's more vulnerable than a new born baby out there! You know that Reiga is always searching for him and…" "Hotsuma!" Takashiro uttered grimly. "As long as he is near the cottage nothing can harm him, I myself made the barrier so Luka and Yuki is the only ones that can get pass it, it's safe." Hotsuma looked down the ground. "Oh…" "So stop blaming Luka, I told him to not bring Yuki here, because that in other hand is unsafe. We're going to get him now together" "So, we can follow?" Shusei smiled. Takashiro looked at the nodding Luka before he spoke. "Very well"
On the way to the hill the four men sat quietly and looked out the car windows, watching when buildings got replaced with trees. Then suddenly Luka pulled over and stopped the car. "We're here" They stepped out and inhaled the fresh air before they began to walk towards the hill. Hotsuma and Shusei, who had never been there before, were shocked by the stunning nature and the massive sakuras who followed the trail to the cottage like a wall. When they got near the cottage Takashiro stopped both Hotsuma and Shusei. "We can't go any further, we have to stay here" Luka smiled towards the men as a goodbye and kept on following the trail in order to get to his beloved.
When he reached the cottage Luka opened the door. "Yuki, I'm home! Are you inside?" His smile disappeared when no answer came. "Is he still out?" Luka mumbled and walked out to the backside of the cottage where Yuki had been working earlier. Luka became cold. Yuki wasn't there. He spotted Yuki's gloves on the ground and picked them up. "Yuki" He closed his eyes and tried to think clear through the developing panic. Luka opened his eyes, dropped the gloves and rushed into the forest.
Through the trees Luka ran in an inhuman pace, trying to find a trace. The guilt burned through is skin and scarred his soul, how could he be so foolish and leave his only light in life alone? Luka should have known that something like this was going to happen. All of sudden Luka saw footprints on the ground and knew that they belonged to his lost one. He followed the footprints until they vanished and began to search for something that could lead him from there. Then he saw something that made him empty inside, speechless he walked towards a tussock and picked up a shoe. It was no doubt, the shoe was Yuki's. Trembling Luka sank to his knees and held the shoe against his cheek as he felt every little bit of self-control was leaving him. Screaming he broke of agony and sorrow, he pressed himself against the ground while his heart burst of the pain. Crawling he tried to grab something that would help him to get up. He knew that he would never give up, Luka was going to find Yuki and destroy Reiga, even if it was the last thing he would ever do in life. Death didn't scare him, but Yuki did. "YUKI!" The dark man screamed and grabbed his sword which he hadn't touch in a very long time while he began to plan his revenge.
Pain. The pain drowned him. He was losing everything within. Pain. It scraped his inside, making his numb body tremble. But he couldn't move, not at all. Pain. Unable to think of anything except the pain. Would he ever be able to wake up? Or would he forever be a prisoner inside the body of his? The boy mind began to fade as he lost his consciousness and fell into deep slumber.
"How is he?" A much respected voice spoke. "He's trapped, just as planed" "Hm…" The dark man tilted his head. "Do not kill him, I need him alive" "I know, I know. Ah, I can't wait 'till Zess arrives, he will…" "Easy Eegy, you know what I told you" "I'm sorry Reiga-sama" The woman spoke with an ugly grin glued on her face. "Leave me" The dark king ordered and the woman obeyed without any trouble. When Eegy left, Reiga let out a sigh and covered his face with his palm. "Yuki… Oh, Yuki…" He moaned and shut his eyes.
