Kai groaned, his awakening eyes trying to focus.

"Kai, are you alright?" The brunette realized he was in an awkward embrace with Misaki.

"I'm fine." Kai groaned, trying to get up. His muscles gave away and he felt his strength being sapped, his body becoming heavier in the lilac haired female.

"Kai!"

"I'm fine. I just don't have the strength to move." Kai tried to reassure his friend, who was piercing him with her concerned green gaze. "What happened?"

"You were beaten by Aichi, and you almost died. Gaillard refuses to let us out of here, to make sure we can't develop our skills further. We decided that we couldn't figure out how to get out of here without you." Naoki said.

"What?!" Kai forced his head to turn around, and he met the sight of Aichi sitting in front of him, on the throne.

"Hello, Kai kun." Aichi said softly.

"Aichi, why won't you tell us what's going on?" Kai growled, suddenly feeling a rush of anger for the bluenette. Sure, he loved Aichi very dearly, but he couldn't let this pass.

Aichi gave him an unrecognizable stare. "You don't remember? I said that I would only tell you if you beat me." He murmured.

Kai muttered under his breath, feeling frustrated.

Why am I never strong enough when it's the most important time?! Kai growled in his head. He never saved the day. He lost to Ren, to Leon, to Takuto, and now to Aichi. It was absolutely disgusting.

Dammit. I'm never strong enough.

He suddenly felt power course through his veins. Though it seemed vaguely familiar.

Link Joker?

He suddenly jumped as his head collided with the hard marble floor, as he was dropped. He groaned, getting up, meeting horrified gazes. His gaze swept to the large throne, where Aichi sat. A little bit of surprise was showing in his empty eyes.

"Must be because I was fighting him with Link Joker..." He murmured softly. Kai barely caught the words.

Kai got up.

I need to be stronger...

A scythe appeared in Kai's hands.

Chaos Breaker Dragon's scythe.

I must be stronger.

Aichi's eyes widened, a long streak of dark red stretching across his body, blood splattering all over Kai's face.

He licked a little bit of it.

The familiar addictive power surged through him, a grin stretching on his face.

I need to make you pay.

His eye widened in anger as he lifted the scythe, ready to strike.

Sayonara, Aichi.

Time seemed to slow down as the scythe began to come down, the screams of his friends echoing the sanctuary, panicked shouts of the Quatre knights arriving.

A head rolling on the floor.

Kai suddenly felt his legs giving away, as the evil power left him, and he collapsed, scythe disappearing. He widened his eyes, horrified.

He met Aichi's lifeless eyes.

They were stuck in mid horror, mouth half open, his own blood splattered on his face, hair sprawled and slightly red.

"Aichi sama!" The agonized cry of Gaillard as he picked up the head and hugged it, and there were silent cries echoing in the room, of both his mates and his enemies, tears plopping on the floor, forming tiny puddles around him.

Kai could feel his own horror tearing at him, his heart feeling like it was being sliced in half, head throbbing with anguish.

He howled in agony, tears stained red with blood.

What have I done?!
