"If i live, i want you".
Shou: "Misao, I'm not asking you to lend my your life and i am keeping you by my side not because i want to eat you. I'm being selfish, do you understand?"


Misao: "Ah, pain..." Shou is hugging her so tightly that its making her uncomfortable.
Misao's thoughts "Just awhile ago the arms which held my neck and hugged me.... it seems like Kyou...

Misao pushes Shou away but Shou pull her back into her arms again.

... being touched by this pair of hands which seems to be decomposing but it's so strong that i can't get away from it. This is not a lie. This is real. Shou... wants me."

Shou: "I beg you, Misao."
Misao: "Kyou...."

Some Tengu: "Kyou sama!"
Kyou: "You've found Misao?"
Tengu: "Nope, i'm here to report..."
Kyou: "Then what?"
They've caught Kaeda.
Kyou: "What are you doing here?"
Kaeda: "I'm barred from the dimension Shou-sama created."

Kaeda: "I wouldn't know what Shou-sama is doing now if you ask me. I'm sorry that i'm not of any help."
Kyou: "Barred out? You? Shou's accomplice and yet..?"
Kyou's in deep thoughts thinking why Shou is bearing all these loneliness by himself while the Tengu around him are busy looking for Misao and they think that it's impossible even if Misao, by chance, is transported to Shou's side.

Kyou's thoughts "If it's not by chance... Shou, unable to bear the loneliness that he's feeling "calls" for Misao subconsciously!" he's shocked by his own thoughts and he gathered everyone, including those that have flew out. Kyou: "We are going to surround Shou's place. My gut feeling tells me that Misao is there. Everyone needs to be careful of the dimension, he's lonely.... "

The Tengu's fly out shouting: "Our aim is Shou-sama!"
Kyou: "Shou-sama recapture Hime-sama (princess), we need to defeat Shou-sama."

Kaeda: "Kyou-sama! Do you think you are always right? It is true that you are loved by many and with great talents, you deserved to be the head. Walking down the royal path, talking about righteous and all your hopes are within reach. Why i compare myself with you.... envy, hatred... and i hate myself for that and i feel being conered. Your righteous have hurt me."

Scene changes to Misao and Shou.
Misao: "No, Shou-san. I have Kyou."
Shou: "I know that! I'm not planning to tell you that i love you, Just stay by my side."
Misao: "Shou-san... i..."
Shou: "Isn't it alright? Just one person...I will only be good if it's you."

Shou: "Doesn't Kyou already has alot? There are many people who are loyal to him and places him above everything else. From the villagers to friends. To Kyou, i know that you are the most important person... but just one, one person is enough. I'm different from Kyou, if you choose to stay by my side...."

Misao's thoughts "My arm feels pain from his grip, i can't move. I can't move even if i'm not being caught. I feel pain from my arm to my heart."

Shou: "... i will not kill you like how Kyou will."
Misao: "Kill me?"
Shou: "I've read till the end of the Senka records. The group whom followed got their hands on it from the enigma."
Misao: "Why does Kyou..."

Shou: "I'm going to stop here. You have to choose me if you want to know more."
Misao: "I reject. These are two different things."
Shou: "I am avoiding taking our life but to Kyou, it's impossible. There's nothing you can do even if you know. I think it's better for you not to know."
Misao recalls that Tadanobu said the same words.

Misao's thoughts "Even though so, will i still choose Kyou Will i still say 'i won't regret' if anything were to happen?
Shou: "I don't see you as my godsister. I cannot do nothing and see you scatter your life away. Misao, choose me and give me life to live on."

The scene changes to Kyou and Kaeda.
Kyou: "Righteous?”

Kyou: "I am not a righteous person. If you see me that way, it must be due to my ulterior motive. I want Misao. I need to be the head to be Senka's husband. It is not because of the village. I want to live my life with Misao. I need to become the head to fight those who want Misao. I don't plan to eat Misao. I want her to be my wife and stay with me. Do you think it is for the village? The world? It is for feelings, a balance world...

... in another words. Misao is the only thing i hope for. I did everything for Misao. This is my righteous....

... and not for thousand and millions of people. You might think it's cruel.
A Tengu reported that they have gathered everyone and waiting for Kyou's orders.
Kyou turned to Kaeda: "Shou is Shou and you are you. You should have your own righteous and regardless what it is, don't regret."

Misao: "I choose Kyou....Even if i will lost my life, i don't want to be separated from Kyou."
Shou: "I can't live after hearing these from you."
Misao: "I'm sorry. If i were to die, i wish to be in Kyou's arms." and Shou let go of Misao.

Shou: "If that's the case, go. I need to go too if not..."
Misao: "Where are you going?"
Shou: "There is something i need to do." and he tries to climb over the fence but he fall backwards.

Misao: "Shou-san... Shou-san..."
Misao's thoughts "He's unconscious and his hands, the color. It's almost the limit..."
Misao: "No, wake up! Shou-san! No!"
Misao's thoughts "Why did i say no? If i waited till his life is gone, this fight is over. No one is hurt. No one died....

... and i will be able to meet Kyou again. Go back home. I should want and see till his last breath." Misao stood up and reach out for a knife which is hidden on the ceiling pillar.
Misao's thoughts "I can't choose this person....

... even though i know... i can't leave him behind. I'm a coward, i'm weak and i may regret. However so, I can't just leave this person who fainted in front of me."

and she slit her wrist and blood drip on to Shou's face and mouth.

Shou, awaken by the smell of Misao's blood, grab her hand and suck her blood like a thirsty tiger.
Misao's thoughts "I'm sorry Kyou, i've betrayed you."

***
I don't blame Misao for saving Shou. I mean, she is a kind hearted girl to being with so she can't just leave Shou to die knowing that her blood can revive him right?

Next chapter will be interesting. Shou revive after drinking Misao's blood and he's going to fight Kyou... and Kyou he hasn't fully recovered! oh no, my poor Kyou....
