A/N
Just a heads up in advance, I've placed "sound effects" or "actions" in majority of each character's dialogue. Just to clear possible misunderstanding(s), the "sound effect" or "actions" doesn't mean that a certain character is actually doing it. It's just something that is happening around that character or they are actually doing that action. I can be confusing so sorry... Please enjoy(?)!

Third person POV

"Let hell rise and incinerate Clarines! Come... My warriors!"

The walls of the invisible barrier had showered down into bits of dust, revealing a vast army on  both oppsosite ends of the field- Clarines and Hyoushou. Cries of Clarines' soldiers shouted, ready yet uneasy to sacrifice their lives for their family, country, the world, and especially for a girl most do not know of. As for Hyoushou, they were ready to serve their princess. Being the most well known country for the best soldiers, they had not feared much of their opponets. This day shall be a bloody event in history.

"DO NOT FALTER! SEPARATE TO YOUR POSITIONS AND ATTACK FORTH! DO NOT GIVE IN TO SURRENDER! WE HAVE ONLY ONE GOAL! TO RETRIEVE PRINCESS KIROYUKI! ATTACK!"

Izana's stare and tone was not one to ignore. The rage, frustration, sorrow, pain, and power was great indeed. His only fear was losing many of those from Clarines which includes every individual.

"Obi! Take Ryu and Hanayuki- *clash* Gah! *clash* Take them to the back rear to Shira-"

"Master/ Zen!"

A tall, broad, buff, and blood thirsty warrior, swung his ball-and-chain flail at the albino, wanting to knock off the prince's head. The fear of not being able to move, Zen was frozen. Obi had quickly given Hanayuki to Ryu, and tried running to reach Zen, but he knew that he would never reach his master in perfect time. Even Kiki and Mitsuhide were horrified. They started rushing and running with their lives, dodging every attack. How hopeless this would be...

*sparkly sparkly boom*

"GRAAAHHHHHHAHHH!" The hollow scream of agony filled the area, eyes terrified and mouths wide open with pure shock. For the humongous monster had fallen down with hundreds and hundreds of cuts that appeared in a flash of light.

"... I need to fight this war too!" The woman who had fallen unconscious earlier had now awaken. Her deep metallic blue hair and icy blue eyes bored through the hearts of the terror filled souls of the gang.

"I will not sit back and let everyone else fight when I am also capable! I won't! I'm not useless!" The pure tears of sorrow and truth had fallen, furiously and beautifully.

"*gasp* Hanayuki! Ryu! Behind you!" Ryu whipped his head, not being able to move in time to defend of dodge, terrified of losing his life already.

"[insert whispers of ancient chants and spells]" Without looking back to face the enemy who tried attacking them, Hanayuki had spikes of ice pierce through the chest of the sinner as she summoned dual swords to aid her side. Blood oozed and flew, some falling onto Ryu's armor, making him feel the need to puke and to numb his body from motion.

'... Blood... I've never witnessed someone dying... Blood like this...cruel... I'm scared-'

"Please stand up young one." Hanayuki's voice was mellow and soft, yet powerful. Ryu's body moved on his own, without his thought of effort, in awe and fear, one whom feelings would feel conflicted. He wasn't afraid of Hanayuki, he was afraid of this cruel world. For he has never seen a life being taken in front of him. For his innocent and pure world was only an illusion for his mind and heart.

"R-*clash* Ryu! Hey! *clash* Stop dazing off into horror just yet! *punch* You still have to- Gah! *kick* You still have to save Kiroyuki!" Obi's voice rang into Ryu's head, making him flinch as he stared at the dark and bloodied snow. Slowly, he looked up to find himself in one of Hanayuki's smaller barrier of bright yellow. He stumbled as he continued to see men dying and bleeding left to right.

"Ryu! *boom* I cannot hold this barrier and defend it for too long! *boom* You love her, right!?"

...Love...

"You must save her! *clash* Your love is the only thing that can save her! You have to sacrifice your unknowing knowledge of the cruel world if you're willing to love Kiroyuki! *stab*"

Love...

Pieces of bright yellow shards came crashing down, exposing the young boy to the predators.

"Ryu!"

"... I love Kiroyuki! I will save her!" Using the recognizable sword of the one and only girl held dear in his heart, he surprised the three soldiers, whom he had slashed and stabbed. He received courage, a small bit of courage from his friends and the lingering sense of warmth from the sword that belongs to his love.

"... Ryu." The gang's voice held guilt and sorrow, but they knew that this was something that cannot be avoided if he chose to walk with Kiroyuki's burden and path.

"... *gasp* Obi! Hanayuki! Everyone! I-I see Kiroyuki!" Spotting the bright and beautiful blue hair that glimmered in this dark realm, he was felt joy and relieved to see her, but... Would things be the same? "Lets go and-... Eh....."

In pure horror and silent screaming agony, Ryu was truly heartbroken and damaged deeply. For his world of cruelty was revealed even more.

"What the hell!? Are my eyes playing tricks on me!?" Obi questioned furiously.

"This isn't right! Why is she- I don't understand!" Mitsuhide too questioned out loud, speaking everyone's thoughts along with Obi.

"No way... NO! I REFUSE TO BELIEVE THAT! KIROYUKI... SHE WON'T TRULY DO THAT RIGHT!? SHE WILL NEVER-"

"RYU!"

*drop...*

"Eh... Obi? Obi... No way..."

"OBI! HOLD ON!" Hanayuki ran, destroying every soldier that came towards her with the spinning dual swords. Although their distance wasn't as great and far, the amount of soldiers were extreme. Her's and Ryu's tears were dropping dead in trauma.

The oversized soldier raised his insanely large axe up, holding a sickly grin, ready to kill a loyal cat. Unfortunately for that soldier, he was pierced by
three swords, made of hot and burning ice that melted his skin from the made contact.

"Obi! L-let me try healing you! Don't worry! I-i'm here!" Eyes of the vast sea had broke through the world's glass, escaping into the real world to fall onto a young gentleman's face.

"H-hanayuki..."

"W-what is it Obi!? Please stay with me!" Ready to preform a spell, Hanayuki was stopped by Obi's warm hand.

"I had some hidden armor inside my shirt. It saved me from- *kick* Ow! What the hell-"

"You stupid dumbass! You stupid fool! You shithead, asshole, gah! You idiot! I thought you could have died!"

"... I'm sorry... But, I won't die from something just like that, ya know?"

"S-still! You could have bled to death!"

"SORRY TO DISTURB YOU TWO LOVEBIRDS, BUT WE'RE TRYING TO BATTLE OFF THE ENEMIES FROM YOUR LITTLE CONVERSATION!" Although Zen found the two adorable and touching, he was outraged since it was in the middle of the battlefield. Kiki, Mitsuhide and Ryu had also felt the same.

"Sorry! To apologize completely... Let me clear up the path to what we think may be our beloved Kiroyuki!" With ancient chantings and swift movements, a path of ice had formed, freezing and injuring the men of sin while those of Clarines remained unharmed. The path was vastly wide that reached many to remain motionless in struggle or silence. (Meaning that they are injured greatly to be immobilized or dead in silence)

"K-kiroyuki! She's... She's getting away! She's heading into the castle!" Ryu frantically spoke, running with all of his might.

"Be careful! With the Kiroyuki we saw from a distance, it could be a trap!"

Slowly and silently, Ryu's mind drifted off into the sea bit by bit and bit by bit. He was sinking into the deep blue sea which will soon turn black as the evil and cruel shadows.

'Was that really Kiroyuki? Or was that a false double of her to trick us? Kiroyuki would never kill the soldiers of Clarines... She said she wanted to protect Clarines! Yeah! It must be a false! Kiroyuki must be somewhere locked away! Yeah! That must be the... reason... My heart wants to believe what I want... but I know that I'm wrong somewhere deep inside of me... That was the real Kiroyuki... Just what terrible things have they done to her! Why... W H Y D I D T H I S H A P P E N ! ? I don't understand! Why-'

"RYU!" Snapping out of his thoughts and daze, Ryu gasped, seeing the destruction and chaos. He would have never thought that he would have to see this side of the world. But now, his eyes are tainted with the color of blood and dark skies.

"Ryu! You have to focus! *punch* I know this is traumatizing and difficult to take in so fast, but you have one goal! It's a goal that will affect your life because it's love! *clash* So get your head screwed in right, squirt! *stab*"

"... I'm sorry... I will though! I am determined to do so! Thank you, Obi!" Ryu slapped himself, surprising the gang, but making them more relieved. Although the cries and shouts erupt around them and it seems that they don't care for their comrades, but, they are crying and suffering in the inside. For they are holding and building more guilt within each step they take to go forth and to not falter back.

'...REFUSE TO BELIEVE...! KIROYUKI... SHE WON'T... RIGHT!? SHE... NEVER'

Small fragments of what she heard out in the battlefield had struck her mind hard. What did that voice mean? She clearly heard her name being called out and she knows that Clarines just a wants her as a prisoner, right?

"... Wait, Neil!" Seeing how he didn't listen to her to stop and wait, Kiroyuki tripped the male swiftly. "Stop your damn feet from moving you shithead!"

"Well they stopped moving already thanks to you, my dear! What is it? We have to hurry!"

"Just wait... I'm confused..." Kiroyuki's head hung low as she didn't bother bringing up her gaze from the cold and blooded floor.

"Huh? Kiroyuki, you know this is a critical time, right? The sacred warriors are waiting too! We don't have a whole ton of time since we're in the middle of the battlefield and worse yet, war!"

Kiroyuki continued gazing at the floor, forcing herself to look at Neil in the eyes with her one eye that wasn't covered with the eyepatch.

"Why did someone call out my name in desperation and pain? It doesn't sound like that person wants to lock me up... Also... Who is that woman who controls and uses magic just like me? I need answers before going too far into this war!" The rage, despair, confusion, painful, and sorrowful voice was all to make Neil sweat in nervous tears.

"...... They're playing and toying with your heart, Kiroyuki... They want you to feel guilt so that you can't kill them! So that they can take you away! That woman has magic just like yours and I didn't want to tell you this, but... Clarines was using you to take your energy and magic to insert it into that woman... I'm sorry..."

"... Ha... AHAHAHAHAHAHA! SO THAT'S HOW CLARINES IS GOING IS PLAY!? THEY NEED TO DIE AND ROT IN THE DEEP DEPTHS OF THE GROUND AND EVEN HELL IF POSSIBLE!"

That was the last bit to convince Kiroyuki completely. Her hatred and the manipulation that was played upon her was the last and smallest bit of sanity for the light soul of innocence.

"Shall we continue going forth-"

*swoosh*

*break*

"Ha! Trying to shoot an arrow while the enemy's back is turned? Well, that doesn't work for me... YOU DAMNED FOOLS!"

Dropping the dust remains of the arrow, Kiroyuki turned around, revealing her viscous and evil expression that held hatred for those who stood in front of her.

"K-kiroyuki!? Wh... What is the meaning of this? Prince Neil! Explain your actions from the night of the invasion and your intentions and plans now! Surrender yourself!" Zen furiously questioned, remembering the prince who ran off with a kidnapped princess, whom they care deeply for.

"..." Neil remained silent, not bothering throwing a comeback at the question.

"YOU STOLE EVERYTHING FROM ME! YOU SHALL PAY THE PRICE WITH YOUR LIFE!" Summoning ice-made swords that floated behind her back and holding two steel katanas, her eye that remained seen was beaming with the need to murder to relieve her broken heart of hatred.

"What did we ever steal from you!?" Zen
desperately said.

"This is all Neil's doing, isn't it!? Come back with us!" Mitsuhide questioned, but received two hard and cold glares of predators.

"NEIL IS MY SAVIOR IN THIS HELL!"

"...savior..." Ryu's mind went back to the times he had said and promised that he will be Kiroyuki's knight and savior, making him feel his heart ache more.

"Open your eyes! This isn't you!" Kiki sorrowfully said.

More questions and shouts were being thrown at the solo girl with confusion and fear. It was an absolute mess.

"K-k... Kiroyuki?" The small and hurting voice of the precious child spoke. The brokenness was obvious to tell and the facial expression he held was beyond explainable. For his heart had felt like it cracked.

Their eyes have now met and crossed each other, but one held tears while one held hatred for the world.

"Kiroyuki? Who said you can call my name so easily? You all deserve to die!" That cruel and wide grin grew and grew, as if she were the big and bad wolf.

'... Was this what I truly wanted... Did I really want to see Kiroyuki like this... But... It was never my decision from the start.'

"Shall I let myself have a little bit of fun~!" Removing the fancy eyepatch, Kiroyuki revealed her bright and blood like eye. Gasps and questions were throw at her, but she ignored it with a grin.

"Red eye!?" They all exclaimed and took a step back. Ryu, he remained in his spot, not knowing what to do.

"..... Kiroyuki..."
