They both jumped to their feet and Ino jumped in front of Shinya, but he stared longingly at J.

"That was a very touching story, Ino-chan." Mana mocked him. "Now move out of the way or I’ll snap your lover’s neck."

He looked back at Shinya, but then at his lover. "Please, don’t hurt him." Ino dropped down to his knees and clasped his hands.

"Then get out of the way." Mana’s tone was dangerous and lingered on inpatience.

Ino flashed Shinya an "I’m sorry" look and quickly moved from in front of him.

Mana made a noise in his throat and let J fall to the floor. Ino crawled to him quickly and clutched onto him in a death-grip hug, J moved in front of the shaking Ino protectively.

Shinya gasped, now completely exposed to Mana who stood in front of him. He backed into the corner of the room, there was nothing he could defend himself with except…

Mana glared at him. "Why are you afraid of me? Come here, Shinya." He held out a blue-gloved hand. He looked like an angel offering him a path to heaven.

As Mana reached for Shinya, Shinya dropped down and seized up one of the blankets, covered in dust and debree and threw it in Mana’s face. Mana screamed in shock as the dust flew in his eyes.

In a rage Mana jumped at Shinya and knocked him unconscious with his fist against Shinya’s small temple.

Gackt felt himself being lifted, bumped around, and then settled against something soft but yielding. He moaned and opened his eyes. His head was pounding. How long had it been since he had actually had a headache? He tried to open his eyes only to discover that he had been blindfolded. he tried to raise his hands to his face to pull it away but his hands were tied behind his back. He groaned.

"Shut up and don’t move."

Gackt froze at the sound of the voice. Mana.

Mana’s voice was soon very close to his ear as he whispered deeply. "What made you think you could take Shinya away from me? Do you think I deserve to be alone forever?"

Gackt tried to answer but felt Mana slap him hard when he opened his mouth to speak.

"Shut up!"

Gackt couldn’t see it but he would bet that Mana was composing himself. When Mana spoke again his voice was very strange, eerie. Gackt had never heard Mana like this before…he sounded sadistic. "It was a mistake to change you, Gackt. You were just some rich boy I thought would be fun to play around with."

"You’re lying. You loved me. And I loved you too at first…"

The sound coming from Mana made Gackt wish he had never spoke. The blindfold was torn away from his face and Mana stared down at him. Mana was still just as beautiful as when he had first shown up at the castle. But now his eyes were slightly red from the dust that had gotten in them. But now Mana had appeared to have snapped.

"You know nothing about love! I gave you real love! I gave you the ability to live forever, I would have given you anything you ever wanted, but you betrayed me…" Mana opened a golden, heart-shaped locket from around his neck. His beautiful former-lover stared at him from the tiny sketch. Kami.

Mana and Gackt had both chosen Gackt. They wanted to share him, have him at the same time. Kami wanted them to all love each other…

Mana sat on Kami’s lap and wove his finger’s through the bright-red hair that tumbled over his shoulders. Mana giggled and playfully kissed him on the cheek.

"Oh! I want more!" Kami was just about to quickly kiss Mana’s lips when Mana giggled and jumped up off of his lap and pretended to blush and hide his face in embarassment. But he couldn’t hold back another giggle.

"Wah! Come here!" Kami lunged at him.

They laughed and Kami chased him out of the room and up the stairs, purposely going slow since Mana couldn’t run so well in platforms and a dress, but he wanted to keep up this game.

Mana was caught from behind by Kami just before they reached their bedroom door. Mana screamed playfully and tried to pull away.

Kami swung him around and kissed him hard on the lips, making Mana melt against him. But he pulled back before Mana could try to kiss him deeper. Kami swung him up into his arms. Mana giggled again as Kami brought him into their room.

They didn’t see the stake or have any warming until Gackt had jumped from behind the door as they entered and plunged the stake threw Kami’s heart. Mana screamed. Kami stumbled foreward with a blank expression on his face and dropped Mana to the floor, where he bounced painfully.

Kami fell forward, his arm outstretched towards Mana.

Gackt watched Mana’s face with no remorse as he crawled to his dying lover and cradled his face in his arms and lap and sobbed shamelessly and sobbing. "Don’t die, Kami, please don’t leave me!" His sobs choked his works in his throat.

Kami rose his eyes to the beautiful, white face above him and smiled slightly. "Make him pay…for parting us…I…will always love u….Mana." With that his eyes drifted shut and as Mana held him his body wilted, shivered, and disolved until he was nothing but a pile of Kami-shaped ashes in Mana’s arms.
