"Why?" Reiga asked after Pyeras left the room.

"Why what?" Kaname replied with a question.

"Why didn't you agree to his terms?"

"I said it, didn't I? I wouldn't gain a thing."

"So, if you could gain something, you would..."

"It should be something really profitable for me to even consider. I doubt he'd be so kind."

"But you could gain some time for you own, as well as dying in peace."

"Even if I could guarantee a painless death, I wouldn't bite a human."

"But I'm not..."

"You're half, aren't you?"

"So what? Our capturer is half vampire. Does he resemble a vampire in your eyes?"

"Yes, he has the characteristics of egoist vampire."

"But humans can be egoist as well. They can also be mean and destructive."

"I know."

"And you still want to protect."

"If I had denied human, then I would have denied myself."

"But you are a complete vampire!"

"But my parent were both humans."

"Then, how...?"

"No one knows why. But in a certain time in history, vampires were born to human parents, a thing that didn't happen again later. I guess one of your parents was human as well."

"Before I started reincarnating, yes. My mother was humans and I lived among them for about 20 years. But most of them excommunicate me."

"I was born as a landlord. As time went by, they noticed something was wrong. When I was chased away, there wasn't even one person who stood by my side."

"That is why human should be annihilated."

"Annihilated? In what way are you different from them?"

"Well, I...!"

"I don't know about Duras, but humans as well as vampires can be both good or bad."

Reiga thought for a moment. He was treated horribly. They treated him like a stranger, even as an enemy, though he was one of the. Though he tried to be one of them. Yomi, the one he loved and cherished, was afraid of him like the others. But... before he regained his old memories, there was not a second he thought about it. Yes, his parents left probably but in the orphanage he was happy. And Yuki was there like his little brother. He never stopped feeling a brotherly feeling towards him, no matter what he said or did. Maybe... just maybe... humanity isn't all that bad?

The sun had had already set. Kaien, Yuuki and Zero waited at the appointed meeting place which was decided that morning. The rustling leaves were the only sound they could hear. No one was in the small park. This park was chosen as Yuuki remembered Kaname told her once it was a quiet park, and he liked to pass there, especially at night. When she was there she couldn't but think that maybe he was here, when... well, before he disappeared. What happened, or exactly in which part, she didn't know. She didn't know it had been on the very spot she stood at that moment, as if she was feeling his dim presence without her even knowing.

Finally, after long 15 minutes, they heard steps. And there they were.

Let me introduce to you "Takashiro started saying "Luka, Yuuki, Toko, Tsukumo, Hotsuma, Shusei, Kuroto-kun and Fururoi-kun. Except for Luka, all are Zweilts, but Luka also has the ability annihilate Duras."

"Let me introduce. I'm Kaien Kross and these Are Yuuki and Zero."

"I'm a pureblood and Zero is a hunter." Yuuki said.

"And a vampire..." Zero muttered angrily , mostly to himself.

"I think it's time for us to explain our plan." Takashiro said.

"Yes, you're right." Kaien joined.

All of them stood in a circle. All eyes were turned to Takashiro.

"As our enemy is half Duras and half vampire and neither to sides succeeded to cause hi any harm, we'll use both Zweilts and a vampire hunter. But, his substitutes are all Duras, therefor anti vampires weapons won't help against them. Zweilts, you are responsible to let the vampire and her companion to reach out main enemy. Of course, we need your ability there as well. Out goal is to him in in both anti vampire weapon and magical force against Duras in the same time." Then, he turned his head towards Luka and Yuki "You two, like always will team up as a pair. The other Zweilts, you should try to advance as much as you can, but your first priority is to let Yuuki and Luka to keep going. Not that I doubt your abilities or think you are not useful, but in this pair there's only who can fight and maybe Luka may have some ability or knowledge that you don't have in order to fight him."

"So what am I to do?" Yuki said as Takashiro finished talking. "Will they all fight and risk their lives while I'll stand by?!"

"It's not true, Yuki-chan," Toko smiled gently "It's your encouragement and support which give us the power to fight."

"And your ability to heal is also very useful." Though Takashiro didn't try to sound indifferent, he did sound like that be because he was so tired.

Yuki was offended to be nothing but a tool. That's what he was for Takashiro? That's what they all were for him?"

"Yuuki, Zero, do you have any question?" Kaien's voice brought him back to reality.

"Remind me what exactly I should do." Yuuki said in apologetic tone.

"As I told you before, I don't know if or how you may help, but we better be on the safe side."

Yuuki and Yuki looked at each other they were on the same boat.

They didn't know if it were minutes, hours or days, but time stood still in their eyes. They tried to move as little as possible, but still keep their eyes open. A word wasn't said after the conversation about the justification to kill humans. Kaname wasn't interested in continuing the conversation, but Kanata was eager to do so. He saw Kaname's eyes are about to close, and so Kanata started the conversation once again.

"Do vampire live alongside humans?"

Kaname diverted his eyes toward him and answered with tired voice as he got back to original state.

"Yes. More than you might think. You may know some."

"Me?"

"Actors, singers, models... Some of them are well known."

"But don't they live for long time? How people don't notice it?"

"Once it was much easier as cameras didn't document them. Now, it may be bit difficult for them."

"So what will they do now?"

"Live normal life as much as they can while moving every few years."

"That sounds horrible."

"I guess. I never really had the chance to live this way. Though vampires live for many years, until 18 or so our growth's speed is equal to humans. I really am 19 years old, the same age as you if I am not wrong."

"Well, I am. Before it all started I learned in university."

"And you put that aside in order to do what?"

Kaname didn't really ask what was his purpose, as he already knew the reason. The tone of his voice cleared that he found this decision wrong.

And again, the questions and doubts started to raise in him. He had had a plan, he just had started to live his life, and he gave up all of that for the sake of what? His Revenge? His belief that humans don't deserve to live? It suddenly felt so stupid to him, But not it was too late to regret.

Takashiro opened the gate to the other world. Yuuki was hesitant, but Kaien calmed her down. Zero didn't know show it, but it made him feel uncomfortable as well. Kaien and Takahiro were left together behind. Takshiro was needed to bring them back of in case he'll feel his help will be needed and Kaien should have remained in case something will happen and they'll need more help. Kaien wasn't sure what exactly he should to if something happened, so he just hoped for them to come back safely with Kaname.

Thay all transported to the other world. Giou clan's members were used to the sinister aura, but this time they also got chills. It was darker an more threatening than ever before. The group didn't get a chance to digest the feeling of horror, and two mid-villains appeared.

"We waited for you." said one of them, a man with amber colored eyes hair and emerald eyes.

"Yes, took you long enough." joined the other with stone colored hair and olive eyes "Let me introduce: I'm Zedon, and this one is Kaper."

The introduction was hardly done and they found their selves under attack. It was Luka's quick instincts which saved them all."

"The betrayer, Zess." Kaper said in an agrey voice "Don't think we forgot your betrayal just because we changed sides."

"Isn't it a betrayal as well?" Luka replied with indifferent tone.

"How dare you?! You betrayed your whole kind!"

"But you also betrayed most of your kind."

"You little..."

"Stop, Kaper." Zedon busted into his words "Just do your job."

"But...!"

"If you want to punish him for his deeds, words won't do the work."

"You're right." Kaper said with the devilish smile. "I'll feel much butter after I crush him and his little friends.

Though they were mid-villains. They were more powerful than other mid-villains. Kaper had quick movement and attacks, while Zedon has powerful attacks though it took him time to prepare them. This combination was dangerous. The whole group was attacked, but they especially tried to hurt Yuuki and Zero.

"You better take them away from here." Kuroto said.

"But what about you?" Yuki said

"We'll be fine, we managed to defeat stronger Duras."

"There are surely stronger Duras next. You don't need an amateur like me."

"We count on you, guys!" Hotsuma yelled and they went on.

They didn't get too far and another Duras, this time an opast, appeared before them.

"Well, well, well. I've always known these two are useless. They're nothing compared to Ogdos, my great self."

Ogdos had long Bordeaux hair and hazel eyes with mix of blue and green. A bored but still happy smile was drawn on his face.

"Who wants to die first?"

His voice, which wasn't extraordinary at first, became to an unhinged voice of a beast who just wants to eat its prey.

"That doesn't sound good." Yuuki said with a shaky voice.

"He reminds me a level E." Zero mentioned.

"He reminds you what?!" Hotsuma asked, confused.

"An ex-human who lost his humanity and acts like untamed animal. This things happens if you are bitten by a level A vampires, also known as purebloods."

"I've got an headache just from listening to him." Hotsuma held his head.

"You sure take you time. If you don't choose, I will.

Ogdos tried, like his formers, to focus his attack on Yuuki and Zero.

"Damn, he targets only them." Said Shusei "We have no choice. Keep going. Me and Hotsuma will take care of him."

"It's dangerous!" Yuki said.

"Have faith in us." Hotsuma smiled "We have your protective charms, remember?"

"You should trust them. Let's go, Yuki." Luka grabbed his hand.

"I can't believe he said he trusts us." Hotsuma said to Shusei as they already far from them. "We can't fail his trust, can we?"

"Yes, we mustn't disappoint neither of them." Shusei replied.

As they kept going, the sky seemed darker and darker. But then something weird happened. They saw every object twice. There weren't much of them, as Duras lived differently from humans, and it made it even more noticeable. Suddenly, they saw two blazes moving in their direction. Though they were separated, they almost seemed like one

.

Luka grabbed Yuki to the right as Toko grabbed Tsukumo to the left. In the place they were just standing, the flames were still burning. Before they could grab the situation, the fire started circling Toko and Tsukumo.

Up in the sky stood a male and a female opasts. Both had chestnut hair and gray eyes. Despite the difference in their gender, they looked really alike. They even wore the same tops and even their bottoms, pants for him and a skirt for her, had the same design.

"Twins identified." Both opasts said together.

"We are siblings. But not twins!" Tsukumo yelled.

"It doesn't matter." Said the female opast.

"You are close enough." Continued the second opast.

"I know this pair," said Luka "Zok and Domarin. They're powerful but their weakness is that they can only fight other twins or very close siblings."

"We didn't have a good fight for long time, right, sister?"

"Your'e right, Zok. We're going to have some fun."

"Guys, you better move on." Toko turned to the others "I don't think you can help us here. Your first priority is to get to our main enemy."

"Take care of yourself., Toko-chan." Yuuki yelled while preventing Zero from grabbing her.

"You too, Kuran-chan." Yuuki succeeded to see her smile before the flames hid her smile completely.

Zero. Yuuki, Laka and Yuki were now separated from all the Zweilts. Luka walked before them, prepared to any attack. Yuuk held Zero's arm while Yuki couldn't but think of the others.

It was weird. They didn't see a single Duras. They didn't know Pyeras only let the chosen ones to welcome those who tried to annihilate him. Despite Pyeras hatred to the human world, he was fascinated by the idea of chess which was brought to him by rumors from former subjects of Reiga who saw him play time to time, which looked for them as though he tried to keep his humanity. But of course, Pyeras didn't treated it as a game but as way to show his and his enemies movements. He was especially fascinated from being the king. That's why he asked one of his pawns to bring him one from the human world. On his board, all Zweilts were busy but he didn't except Yuuki and Zero's arrival. Even the arrival of Luka and Yuki wasn't known to him until they enteres the Duras' world. He waited impatiently to the two remaining pieces to arrive. But it doesn't mean he was disappointed to see that a pureblood came right to him.
