"Mafu...?"

The albino only kept silent before speaking softly, "Luz..." The blond frowned and got off his horse before hugging the angel tightly.

"I thought something had happened to you! Do you know how worried we were?! How do you think I reacted when Araki and Sakata informed me about you getting shot, and even worse, kept as hostage?!"

Mafu simply had a frown visible on his face before hugging him back gently, "Im sorry for worrying you Luz-san..." The lavender-eyed male kept the albino in his embrace, "It's fine.. Im just glad your ok."

Luz then glanced at the group infront of them, keeping the angel still in his embrace before pulling out his sword and pointing it at the group, "I admit, im glad you haven't hurt him as I can tell, but, that doesn't mean I can forgive you for taking him away." He glared. He then turned to the the three members behind him.

"Araki, Sakata, you two fight here, as for you Eve... Go look for that boy who has the group of villagers." He explained. The two red-heads nodded before standing up front before Eve had run off.

"W-Wait! Luz-san, they never wanted to fight us! And they never did plan on ever hurting me or kepping me as a hostage!" The albino exclaimed. The blond looked at him and frowned, "Then why were you gone for these past days?!"

Mafu kept silent before giving a response to the male, "Because I was injured.. And I was the one who decided to stay for a bit..." Luz only stared at him before narrowing his eyes in disappointment, "And cause of that, you had failed to follow your task? Do you realize how much danger you can put us in?!"

"I know! But... Please trust what I say Luz-san!" Luz then let go of the angel and only grabbed him by the shoulders, "Then, give me one good reason to-"

"I think that's enough."

After hearing those words, the blond turned to look at the person infront of them dead in the eye. "You, stay out of this-" The swordsman then cut him off before speaking in a serious tone.

"How? If we were attacked by YOUR troops... That means we're now involved into this mess..." Soraru explained. Araki then started looking at Soraru before his eyes widened, "Wait, your the swordsman from before!"

Luz turned to Araki and raised his eyebrow, "What? What do you mean by that?" Sakata nodded, "Luz- He's the swordsman that took Mafu with him that Araki was talking about!"

Luz then quickly turned to Soraru and gave a glare before gripping onto his sword tightly, "Is that so..." The blond then started walking towards the ravenett with his sword, slowly getting ready to strike the male.

Mafu quickly took out his scythe and ran towards the two before standing in front of the blond. "If your going to try to kill him or his friends... You'll have to fight me first." The albino spoke, he looked at Luz dead in the eye with a frown. The male clutched his fists before giving a response.

"Mafu... Get out of the way."

The albino simply shook his head wanting to protect his friend. The angel honestly didn't to argue. Most importantly, with Luz. The one person who's protected Mafu for all these years, and yet here he is, protecting someone against Luz's orders. He felt guilt, so much guilt, but he also dosent want the people who he now calls friends to get killed. Soraru tried placing his hand on the albino's shoulder before he was cut off by Luz, "DON'T TOUCH HIM!"

Luz sighed before facing the albino again, "Now, Mafu, im not playing this game with you, so please... Get out of the way."

"...No."

"Mafu- im not playing this game! Now get ou-"

"I said no!"

"Mafu, I already said-"

"If your going to hurt him, then you'll have to hurt me too!"

"IM NOT PLAYING THIS GAME MAFU! NOW GET OUT OF MY WAY!" The blond yelled before harshly hitting the albino's face, causing him to fall over from the impact.

Araki and Sakata's eyes widened in worry before rushing to the angel who was staring at the ground, making no sound. Everyone else was shocked as well surprised by Luz's act, including the two red-heads. Never have they heard or seen Luz, their calm lord, hit anyone. Especially at the albino himself. "Mafu! Are you alright?!-" Sakata asked. Then the two them heard slight sobs from the albino who slowly sat up looking at the blond with eyes full of fear, and disappointment, "Why don't you trust me Luz..!?

Soraru stayed looking at the albino before turning to Luz with a cold glare, It had taken a few moments for Luz to realize his actions towards the angel before widening his eyes in shock.

"Mafu! Im so sorry... I-I didn't mean to I-" Before he could finish, a punch was quickly thrown at him in the face by the swordsman. The lavender-eyed male looked at the ravenett with a slight glare, noticing the swordsman glaring back.

Behind them, Sakata and Araki were trying to calm the albino down. Amatsuki's face was written with worry from the scene in front of them. Urata on the other hand, was willing to also hit the blond who had hit Mafu.

"Why won't he ever trust what I say...?" Sakata hugged the albino gently, "Don't say that... Im sure he does..." He spoke gently.

"Don't ever hit him again." Soraru glared. Luz held his sword out but then kept silent before putting it down. "Let's just ignore this.. And leave." He then looked at the albino with a frown before kneeling down at him, placing his hand on his head before it was slapped away.

"Don't touch me-!" Luz only kept silent before standing up again before facing the group behind him, "We'll be taking our leave. And we're taking Mafu with us this time... The next time I see you all, I wont let you live."

Before Soraru could say anything, Kashitarou placed his hand on his shoulder while shaking his head. The swordsman clenched his fists before turning around, "Fine then, go ahead and take him back, just don't ever hurt him again."

Luz nodded before turning to his troops, "We're going to get Eve, then we're all heading back." Sakata and Araki helped the angel up but, Mafu was only staring at the ground, not making eye contact but only clenching his fists tightly. He really will miss his new friends. But for now, he'll have to got back to how things were.

This is the end of Chapter 12! Ok, I have to be honest though, it kinda hurt to write this chapter. But at least I was able to finish up! As always though, thank you for reading!
