Sodomu seemed exhausted already and held on just barely. Kakeru didn't show any signs of being hurt. Luka tried to hurry as he saw that.

Suddenly, two shots were heard. As Kakeru was busy fighting Sodomu, And Pyeras watched the battle while smirking, Zero's try to attack hastily. Unfortunately, Pyeras was on the alert more than it first seemed.

"You cocky brat." Pyeras kept smiling, though now irritation was mixed in it. "And I was kind enough to let you live a bit longer."

Pyeras didn't look at them with complacently from above. He landed slowly but carefully on the ground. His face showed pure anger.

Luka looked at Pyeras and at the others alternately. His spell was almost complete .On one hand, he knew he had to hurry the casting, but on the other hand, he wasn't sure if Zero alone could protect them, now that Sodomu couldn't help in that matter.

Yuki and Yuuki knew it depended on them. Zero's attacks already proved themselves useless.

'What would onii-sama do?' Yuuki thouhgt to herself while glancing at a different door than the one they came from.

"Yuuki, it's important for you to learn to use your powers." Kaname told her shortly after they moved to their new home.

"So you found me a tutor or something?"

The truth was, Yuuki had hoped Kaname would teach her himself. She could manage with Ruka and Hanabusa as she knew them from Kross acadrmy, but they were nobles and they couldn't teach her to use her powers as pureblood. Only another pureblood could have done so. Kaname was the only pureblood she knew at that time.

"I did not." Kaname answered indifferently "And I don't intend to."

"But why?!"

"First of all, pureblood can't be trusted so easily. But even if they were, this something you should learn by yourself. Purebloods' power differs from one another."

Yuuki recalled at that moment how discouraged she had felt when he had told her that. But now, when she thought about about it, maybe there was a glimmer of hope. Maybe, if she'd really tried, she may find a way to use her power.

She recalled Kaname's ability to make illusionary bats. She wondered if she could do something of the sort.

She tried to concentrate as her hand was behind her back. Suddenly she felt something on the palm of her hand – a butterfly.

'But butterflies aren't dark creatures.' she thought as she glanced at newborn she created.

Suddenly, a loud noise was heard and startled her. She saw Pyeras coming near them and the big black beast they called Sodomu lied unconscious on the floor.]

"If there was only any light here..." Yuuki mumbled.

"Light?" She heard Yuki's voice.

"If I had light, I think I would be able to create butterflies which can distract him maybe."

"I can help you with this."

Yuki then created a bright aura which made Pyeras look uncomfortable. It gave Yuuki the opportunity to create large amount of butterflies which flew straight to Pyeras and distracted him.

"In the name of destruction and death, any detestable being will be chained with chains of chaos."

When Luka finished his spell, Pyeras was surrounded by magical chains. Zero used the chance to shoot him. This time, he couldn't do anything. Kakeru turned to dust.

All four sighed in relief and Luka smiled a bit as he saw Sodomu standing thanks to Yuki's light. But Yuuki couldn't stand still for long.

"Onii-sama!" she ran to the door she looked at before.

Yuuki opened the door in a rush. Yuki seemed eager but the other two weren't as happy.

"Kaname oni-sama!" Yuuki said happily.

Though she started to run towards him, she stopped as she heard a click of a gun.

"Move!" she heard Zero's voice from behind.

"What are you doing?!" She turned back to him.

"I don't remember coming to save Kuran!"

"I won't let you!" she spread her arms in front of him.

"It's okay, Yuuki." Kaname whispered. "Don't put yourself at risk for vain."

"For vain?! Kaname onii-sama, I want your to enjoy the peaceful life you obtained!"

"I lived enough, Yuuki. Now it's your turn."

Yuuki then turned her head to Zero again and looked at him with a firm look.

"I swear to you, Zero, if you dare to do anything, you'll regret!"

She didn't seem to have good way to make him regret unless his feeling for her are still there. Luckily for her , they never really vanished. Zero lowered his gun

"Gee, just thinking of your annoying teary face, ruin my mood."

All this time Luka prevented Yuki from moving forward as he feared he'll be caught in a fight. Yuki stayed at his place obediently. Now, when the things cooled down, he was ready to move towards Kanata, but Luka still held his arm.

"Luka, please, let me go! I want to rescue Kanata-san!"

"Yuki, if you do that, you'll continue to live in endless agony."

"If I don't, I won't be able to forgive myself!" though Yuki didn't struggle anymore, he had firm look in his eyes..

Again, the thought of what would happen if the battle ended came to Luka's mind. If it happened, Luka would be unable to live alongside Yuki for long. This moment of thought made him let go of his hand and let Yuki go.

"Kanata-san!" Yuki ran towards him.

"Yuki... I didn't think you'd come." Reiga smiled at him. He seemed exhausted.

"Yuki!" Luka, who just noticed what he did, called to him.

"I'm glad you're safe." Yuki continued.

Before Reiga could say anything, Luka raised his voice.

"Don't get near him! He's dangerous!"

"He's right, Yuki. You and I don't belong to the same place." Reiga got back to his old stiff self.

"You're wrong!" Yuki began to shed tears "I'm sure there's a reason we were brought up together and why we got along so well."

Luka really wondered about it. Time and again, Reiga was brought up apart from the rest of Giou clan, his own clan that he deserted. For the first time he was raised up with one of the clan's members. Was it fate that brought Yuki to the orphanage, away from Giou clan?

"Well, about that. Things aren't easy as they seem." Reiga sighed. "I believe it happened for a reason, but different one than you think."

Both Yuki and Luka looked at with puzzled expression. Before any of them could say anything, he continued.

"Or so I'd like to say. But I'm not sure anymore."

"Kanata-san..."

"Let's decide it's cease fire."

"And then what?" Luka seemed as he's ready to attack.

"Luka, even I know you don't want this to end so quickly."

Yuki looked back at Luka. He seemed quiet confused. Luka only revealed his teeth, showing his anger.

"There's nothing nothing to be angry about. It's plain as day."

Luka knew he was right. He stood there, irritated. He let him go.

"Thank you, Luka!" Yuki hugged him. "I know how difficult it was for you."

Luka couldn't but sigh. And from there on, it's all going to start over. Or not?
