Different kinds of diamonds floated everywhere, these shards vary from many colors like blue, pink, grey etc.

"I brought them as you requested Cassius-sama." Takeshi bowed at his master.

Cresselia grinned as she saw the brothers and Haru. "You're here for-"

A sickening crack was heard, Cresselia looked at Subaru who have just punched her. She clicked her tongue,
"My, my. You have quite a temper right there."

Takeshi rushed right after her,
"Are you okay Cassius-sama?!"

"Of course I am, a mere punch from a vampire can't easily affect me."

Subaru gritted his teeth,
"Why you-" Cresselia flicked her finger and she sent Subaru flying harshly at the ground.

"You're quite foolish, Subaru. I was about to get to the part where you can get back (Y/N)'s piece. But I was so rudely interrupted by you. I might change my mind on handing back the girl's piece."

Reiji pushed up his glasses,
"I apologize about Subaru's behavior, you may continue." His brothers shot him a look, why is he apologizing?!

Haru patted Subaru's shoulder,
"Not bad, I was about to do that myself, but I guess I was beaten to it."

Subaru scoffed lifting himself from the ground,
"Just so you know, I didn't do it for (Y/N), I did it for myself. B-Because this place is annoying you know!"

Haru just smiled at his statement, he knew the albino was lying.

Cresselia cleared her throat,
"I'll return (Y/N)'s piece after you played a game for me~ I do need some entertainment every once in a while."

Yuma glared daggers at her,
"So you're saying that we're going to act as buffoons just to entertain you?!"

Cresselia let out a dry laugh,
"Silly Yuma!~ I was just saying to play a game for me, but that was an excellent suggestion, I'll have to keep that in mind."

Ayato rolled his eyes,
"Great going half-blood. You just gave her a wonderful idea." He said it sarcastically.

Yuma's eyes twitched
,"Are you trying to piss me off again, tomato-head?!"

Before Ayato could throw another insult, Reiji shot him a look that silenced him immediately.

Cresselia said,
"As I was saying-"

"Can I make a request Cassius-sama?" Takeshi asked.

Cresselia sighed impatiently,
"What is it this time, Takeshi?"

The phantom faced Haru,
"I would like to have a duel with Tsukada Haru."

Cresselia's eyes sparked in interest,
"What do you say Haru?"

The male smirked,
"It would be a great pleasure."

Takeshi summoned his own sword.
"I won't go easy on you, Haru."

"I'll say the same thing to you, Phantom."

Cresselia opened a portal,
"You'll make my throne room a mess, I've provided a perfect duel room for you two."

Takeshi went inside the portal immediately. Ayato grabbed Haru's shoulder.

"Oy, Ore-sama demands you to pulverize him."

Haru chuckled,
"Oh I will, he still has to pay for deceiving (Y/N)." He followed Takeshi into the portal.

The portal closed and Cresselia snapped her fingers,
"Let's begin."

The room changed, creating more shards of diamonds in the room.

"The game is quite simple, find the diamond that holds (Y/N)'s piece. I'll give you only an hour to find her piece."

"If we couldn't find (Y/N)'s piece within an hour, what happens?" asked Reiji.

Cresselia grinned widely,
"Oh you wouldn't want that to happen right?~" He shot her a cold stare, he knew she's serious.

"Your time starts now."

-------------------------------------------

Sounds of clashing swords were heard throughout the room. Haru gritted his teeth.

He became stronger.

He evaded Takeshi's sword.

And faster too.

Takeshi had an amused look on his face,"Out of breath already Haru?"
The male smirked,"Now you're just being too cocky Takeshi." They continued clashing using their weapons.

Takeshi jumped back, his figure started to take a form of a shadow.

This trick again.

He widened his eyes when Takeshi's shadow, multiplied.

The shadows surrounded the room making it difficult for Haru to detect which one is the real Takeshi.

"Never underestimate a phantom, Haru. I've became stronger than before." His voice echoed throughout the room.

Haru closed his eyes trying to sense which one is Takeshi's aura. But unfortunately, he couldn't sense any difference, all the auras of Takeshi's shadow are the same.

He felt a sudden pain in his arm and he looked at his arm to see it was been scratched by Takeshi's sword. The male wasn't able to react quickly when he felt a harsh blow on his chest. Takeshi kicked him harshly, and he hit the cold wall.

Haru coughed out blood from the sudden impact of his body to the wall. His vision blurred a bit and Takeshi's shadows surrounded him.

"It's over Haru."

-------------------------------------------

"Gah, which one is Mochi-chan's piece?!"

Cresselia laughed,
"Tick tock, time is running Ayato~"

The red-head glared at her.

That bitch.

Azusa took his time showing Cresselia each diamond that he have,
"Is it... this one?"

Cresselia chuckled and shook her head,
"Nope."

He took another random diamond from the pile,
"Is... it this one?"

"Nu-uh."

Kanato was asking his stuffed-bear,
"Teddy, do you think this is (Y/N)-chan's, piece?"

The stuffed-bear didn't say anything but in Kanato's head, he understood what his Teddy said,
"You're right, this diamond is too dull to be (Y/N)-chan's piece." He threw the diamond.

Kou whined,
"This is tiring!" He pouted.

"Hey stop pouting over there! We need to find (Y/N)'s piece." Yuma said as he searched through the pile of diamonds. He was determined to find her piece.

Shuu shook his head while holding a diamond.

This is really troublesome.

But he knew this is for (Y/N) so he continued searching for her piece. He almost dozed off for a few times but he stayed awake by reminding himself that this is for (Y/N).

Laito held a diamond watching it glistened brightly,
"Mhmm... Too bright for Bitchy-kaichou." He threw it away and grabbed another diamond.

"Too dull."

Subaru was getting frustrated of Laito's voice, the fedora-male kept on making short comments on every diamond he holds.

"Too-"

Subaru had enough.

"Can you shut up?!" He snapped.

Laito chuckled,
"What's wrong Subaru?~"

Subaru's eyes twitched in annoyance,
"Just shut up."

Laito shook his head,
"How rude!"

Ruki examined the room, he scanned the area and examined his surroundings.

It's not likely for her to put (Y/N)'s piece in the pile, she must have stored it somewhere else.

Reiji stood by observing the surroundings, he too is also thinking hard on where (Y/N)'s piece is.

"10 seconds left~" Cresselia said. She liked the expressions the brothers were making but Reiji's and Ruki's expression made her eyes narrowed.

Ruki eyed Cresselia, he spotted a crystal diamond-shaped necklace around her neck. He recalled that (Y/N) ever had a tear-shaped one. But that diamond looked suspicious to him.

Reiji was also eying the necklace around Cresselia's neck.

Is that her piece?

Cresselia smirked,
"Time's u-"

Ruki cut her off,
"(Y/N)'s piece is around your neck."

-------------------------------------------

I can't die yet... (Y/N) still needs me.

Haru watched as Takeshi's shadows brought out its swords. He closed his eyes and concentrated slowly, feeling his power surge through his veins.

"Farewell Haru~" Takeshi was about to pierce him with his sword when the Phantom widened his eyes. He look down at his stomach to see his blood oozing out. He dropped to his knees as the blood continued to pour out.

Haru panted deeply as he looked at Takeshi. Instead of red blood pouring out of him, it was black.

"I told you, you're being too cocky, T-Takeshi." He looked down at his shattered katana.

Great, this is the only sword I have left and it was given by (Y/N).

Takeshi looked at him slowly,
"H-How?"

Haru forced a smile,
"I guess I didn't want to die yet. I know (Y/N) is waiting for me to save her."

The phantom screeched out in pain, collapsing on the ground,
"Thank you... for giving me... a satisfied duel Haru."
He managed to speak out these words before taking its last breath.

Haru watched Takeshi's corpse crumbled slowly till there was nothing left. The male rested his body on the ground,
"Damn, my energy is totally wasted." He slowly took out the last syringe in his pocket and injected himself.

"I'll probably rest in here for some time. Those vampires better have found (Y/N)'s piece by then."

-------------------------------------------

"You're right." Cresselia said, looking at the older Mukami, clearly disappointed that they solved the game.

Reiji approached her,
"We've solved your silly game, give us Ms. (Y/N)'s piece."

Cresselia scowled and threw the necklace from her neck. Shuu caught the necklace with ease.

"It's not fair!" She whined hopelessly like a child.

She began to throw a tantrum which caused the room to shake.

"We should head back as quickly as possible." Reiji said as he watched the room crack slowly.

Kou took out a pocket-watch,
"That goddess gave me this, she said it would transport us quickly back at the Castle of the Puppeteer."

He was about to click it when someone said,
"You're not going to leave me, are you?"

Everyone turned around to see Haru covered up with scratches, his clothes messed up.

"Oy, Ore-sama thought you were dead, where were you?!" Ayato demanded an answer from him.

Haru silenced him by covering his mouth,
"Transport now, talk later."

Kou chuckled slightly and used the pocket-watch that transported back to where Cresselia is.

-------------------------------------------

"Thank goodness you all made it safe." Celestia let out a relieved sigh.

(Y/N) was out of the chains and she was sleeping softly. Shuu immediately walked up to her, he was about to place the diamond piece in her mark when a huge explosion appeared.

"I won't let all of you get away with this!" Cresselia shouted in anger. She attacked them with diamond shards which was blocked by Celestia.

The Goddess made a barrier,
"I don't want to fight you, Cresselia."

Cresselia's eyes twitched,
"Well you have no choice but to die by my hand!" She continued attacking the barrier and it started cracking slowly.

Celestia's eyes harden and she faced the brothers,
"I'll open a portal back to your world, take (Y/N)'s body. I'll stay here and deal with my sister."

As she said those words, a portal immediately opened. Haru picked up (Y/N) in bridal style,
"Thank you..."

He entered the portal immediately.

The brothers followed him, Shuu glanced back and he saw the two powerful deities clashed.

The vampires are way out of their league...

-------------------------------------------

They arrived back at (Y/N)'s balcony. Haru placed the girl's body on her bed.

"Quick, give me the piece."

Shuu shook his head,
"I'll be the one who's putting her piece."

Ayato objected,
"Mochi-chan belongs to Ore-sama, so I should be the one who should put the piece back to her."

Yuma snorted,
"Pft. You haven't even claimed her yet, let me put the piece back to her." He snatched the diamond piece from Shuu.

Seconds later, most of the brothers started arguing on who should put the piece back to (Y/N).

"I should be the one who should return it to (Y/N)-chan! Teddy agrees with me." Kanato whined.

Azusa rolled his eyes at Kanato's statement,
"Your stuffed-bear won't have a say in this."

Kanato's eyes twitched and both of them continued arguing. Ruki sighed at his brother's immaturity.

Actually I should be the one who should do it, I'm the one who solved the game in the first place.

Reiji tried to silence his half-brothers but they all completely ignored him.

That's when light emitted from the girl's body. Everyone looked at Subaru who have the piece and placed it back on her.

"You're all pissing me off, I decided to put it back on her since all of you are busy yapping your mouths."
