Yumoto whimpered as he woke, he looked around and gasped as he saw where he was. Kenshi laughed loudly as he saw him, "Hello heir! Today, is your final day of life."

Yumoto gasped as he saw Kenshi standing next to Yuuma, "You! My guardians saw you take me during the meeting! So, they'll stop you!"

"Oh, they may stop me." Yuuma smirked, "But, I plan on killing you today."

Yumoto growled and Yoru laughed as the heir paled. The God of Night smirked as he walked to Yumoto. "Heir...you can decide on how you die."

"No," Kenshi hissed, "That's too damn easy! I want Takeda to torture him with his diamonds, Minato to whip him and I will send my blades to him! Then, you kill him, Yuuma."

Yuuma smirked and Yumoto screamed as he was taken away. Yuuma laughed as screams filled the room a few minutes later. Yoru smirked, "That may already kill him."

"Yes, I know...and Lord Tungsten is in the crowd as a member."

A gasp came from the crowd and Araki stood up, "Yuuma, give the heir back!"

"Why would I?! He is going to die, he was cursed to as a baby."

Araki looked down and clutched at his sword. He growled as Yuuma had him tied up and was forced to be taken down to Yumoto.

Yumoto was chained up, his back showing, but it was bloodied and torn. Yumoto had tears falling and Araki gasped, "Yumoto...?"

"Ara-Araki?" He whimpered and Kenshi smirked, "Lord Tungsten, look at your dear Scarlet, beaten and destroyed."

Araki growled and Kenshi laughed, "Next we're going to cut his wings off! The God of Light will never be able to fly again!"

"Never!" Araki screamed, "Leave Yumoto alone!"

"Too late...take Scarlet away," Yoru smirked, "We're finishing him off now."

Epinard frowned as he heard the newer Battle Lovers talking about Yumoto missing. He bit his lip and Cerulean walked over, "Tungsten is missing too, we theorize that he is where Yuuma is at."

Sulfur frowned, "Yumoto went missing after the meeting...I swore he escaped."

"He may have, but the God of the Night was there."

Vesta groaned, "Yeah...and Yumoto was trapped by his shadows."

Gora walked in with Argent, "Yumoto is hurt. Perlite has seen the future."

Vesta looked at him, "What do you mean?"

"Yumoto may die."

"DIE!?" Vesta screeched, "What the hell!"

"Ryuu!" Sulfur hissed and looked at Argent, "So, you're saying the curse from birth is happening?"

"Yes, even if he dies, we have the power to bring him back, he can only truly die if a demon delivers the final blow. We shall bring the God of Death along with us, he can revive the heir."

"Yes..."

Epinard looked at Argent, "So, Little One is...still alive, right?"

"So far, yes. His energy is still here...but I fear it won't last very longer."

"Could...Hireashi come back?" Carbon asked as he came in, "If the heir is harmed?"

"...yes..."

"How can we help?" Carbon questioned and Haruki walked forward, "I, Battle Lover Citrine can help too! That's my mama they hurt!"

Hiroki frowned, "What about me?!"

"Oh...you can watch!" Haruki smiled, "You have to awaken as a Battle Lover first!"

Hiroki rolled his eyes, "I have powers from the Sparta Nytes! I can help too!"

"Fine!" Carbon yelled, "But, Haruki, you are staying safe with Kitsune."

"Okay!"

"Everyone, we need to hurry, the heir won't last much longer, so we need to get to where he is!"

Yuuma smirked as Yumoto was tied to a post, his head resting limply forward.

He groaned as Yuuma lifted his chin up, "Oh how sad you look, did Mimi stab you at all?"

"Mi-Mimi...?" Yumoto gasped and Mimi walked forward, "Yuuma...I didn't yet. I will though, I just wanted to wait...for I stole a blade from his father, the God of War!"

Yumoto's eyes widened and screamed for help as she stabbed his shoulder. Araki growled as he saw this and Yumoto sobbed for her to stop it.

"Yuuma, he won't die from this!" Mimi hissed and threw the dagger aside. Yuuma nodded and Yoru smirked, "My shadows can harm him...but for him to die, Yuuma, you must end him."

Yuuma groaned, "Fine, I shall use the sword he killed Hireashi with."

Yumoto looked at him, "Sto-stop...Yuuma...you...you have Yuudai!"

"Silence, you brat. Yoru...my God of Night, silence the whelp."

"Of course."

Yumoto cried out as the shadows grabbed him, "O-Oh first God of Love...plea-please save me from death! PLEASE!" he begged and screamed loudly for help.

"He's weak, Yuuma...finish him!"

"Yes, Lord Hireashi!" Yuuma thrusted the sword into the air, "Oh, Sword of Sealing, awaken for me! You are now the Sword of Destruction!"

Yumoto looked up as the shadows dispersed and Yuuma laughed as he stabbed his side.

Yumoto gasped and coughed and Yuuma smirked, "Goodbye, heir to the throne of Love."

Yumoto screamed as the sword entered his chest and into his heart. Araki screamed as this happened and tore away from the clan members holding him back.

He ran to Yumoto as Yuuma pulled the sword out and let him go.

Yumoto hit the ground and the sky turned dark. Araki grabbed Yumoto and screamed as his eyes slid shut. "Yumoto! Yumoto! Please wake up...open...open those red eyes of yours!"

Tears filled his violet eyes and for the first time in forever, Araki cried.

----
Argent gasped as the sky darkened, "No...Little One!" He screamed and they all appeared where Yuuma was.

Haruki screamed for his mama and Kitsune held him to her chest. Yuuma smirked and turned to them, "The heir is dead, I killed him." He stabbed the bloodied sword into the ground, "Lord Hireashi! Awaken into your human bodied form!"

Gora froze and laughter filled the air. Hireashi stood there, his red hair bright in the darkness.

"Ah, Maximum Gorar...what a surprise...my curse actually was fulfilled."

Gora growled and Argent spoke, "The new guardians of Prince Citrine, need to get Citrine out of here. Hireashi is dangerous."

Rider growled, "We can take him! I promise, Kitsune, keep the children of the heir safe!"

"Yes, Rider!"

"Park! You're going with Carbon and I, we shall attack Yuuma!"

"Guardians of the heir!" Aurite yelled, "You all have your time to shine, protect the heir from Hireashi!"

Gora ran to Yumoto and Araki looked at him, with red puffy eyes. "G-Gora-san...he...he's..."

"Yes, I know..." Gora frowned and Araki cried hard again as he held Yumoto to his chest.

Gora looked up, Hireashi and Yuuma would pay for this...
