Enma glared down at the 5 assassination group as she and her men were compressed; they were all surrounded by the well trained men they were fighting. Panting and sweating like there's no tomorrow she looked at her men and to Oswin who is struggling to live. Her men are precious than to her pride as a bandit. They have always been there for her, and her for them... they were her family.
But now, there were only 5 remaining... she bites her lower lip until it bleeds. She regret nothing as she have not in haunting the demon girl. They want to revenge their shameless imprisonment, but it changes when it started to twist and turn like a sudden whirlwind.
"Water suction!"
She heard the demon girl let out, the water down at the ground started to crumbles as her men compressed themselves more. But what surprises them and her; the muddy water only capture Kroff and his men. She looked at the girl confusedly.
Have the girl saved their butts as well?
She looked at Leo, the reason why this thing happened and started. She was surprised that the man is still lying there AND conscious.. AND breathing. It was all unknown to them and to KROFF!
And a thought pop in Enma's mind.
"Have she been protecting that de Piero all along?!"

"Don't play with me, bakemono[monster]!" Kroff was pissed, seeing the way how Lyar fought him. As if she was not giving the best of her in the fight. Taunting him at her actions; playing with him in her every moves as he fought there seriously. Fighting for his pride and ego; he was after all the Supremo of their Organization.
"Fool!" he glowered and stop, before backing away as Lyar have revealed something in her past that includes him. "You were under my control, killing your parents was still your actions." he stated before smirking smugly. "Have you forgotten so badly that I am holding you in your neck...not until you left the Organization?!"
The black haired girl suddenly run towards him; hitting his side before elbowing his cheek. He grunted in pain as he pushed her away from him; chucking his rapier down on the muddy ground.
But suddenly, his smirk turned into frown and in fear when he saw familiar hand signs being made by Lyar. "Fool! Were you trying to kill us all here?! Including that de Piero?!" But to his surprise, the signs were finish and the muddy ground started to crumble and crawled up to Kroff's knees before bringing them down the ground.
He looks at his men and at Enma's side; him and his men were the only bait for her attack. Kroff look at Lyar in fear. "No, Lyar. Stop doing this insolent acts!" he growled. "I'm commanding you to stop this at once!"

'Wh--...? Why doesn't it hurt as much now?' With a large amount of effort, Leo actually manages to roll over on his stomach like he wanted to, splashing in his own pool of blood. After he had rolled, the artist stayed still, trying to catch his breath and rests his head on the ground for a little while. It surprises him that he can still breathe right now even with the smell of his blood everywhere around him.
Suddenly, the sound of something resembling an earthquake could be heard. Though with Leo a bit hazy with his senses, he doesn't realized how serious it is. Slowly, the injured man lifted his head up carefully from the ground, now in perfect position to view what in the world is going on around him. His ears are ringing, he can't hear a thing, only echoes of the air.
His blurred vision first showed Rayl's back, she seems to have her hands on the ground. 'H..uh..?' Blinking a bit to try and sharpen his view, he finally could see a group of men a bit far away from him. Just as he's about to focus his view on them, they were pulled into the ground. The sight seems implausible and Leo only shook his head while closing his eyes, thinking it's just his dreamy hazy state that's manipulating his view.

Lyar cackles evilly as she looks at the miserable and fear eyes of Kroff, together with his men as they tried to get away in the muddy place. She snickers, her shoulders shaking, "Wiggle as much as you want from that place... no matter what you do, you can never escape that place..." she commented boastfully as she tilted her head to the side; raising an eyebrow in a mock confusion as Kroff ordered her to stop what she was doing.
"Eh? Old man, trying to order me from stopping this? You don't own me no more..." she let out, tilting her head up confidently. "After all... you're just a piece of junk anyway..." she commented as mist started to form inside her body; she side glanced at Enna's way and smirks at their way.
"Leave before I intend on doing the same fate of this guys to yours," Lyar let out, raising an eyebrow, scoffing. "Think of this as a reward of making this guys come to me..."
Thump... Thump... Thump...
Her eyes widen as she paused; a frown look appeared on her face, but it disappeared after a millisecond. Her heart is beating faster, as if something inside her is awakening. She scoffs and shook her head, looking behind her and saw Leo; there's the suddenly soft and cold look in her aquamarine eyes, before it disappeared and there came back the aquamarine eyes with red in her irises.
"Can you really face this man after you both know you have killed your parents?" Lyar let out in her mind.
"Let's finish this... for the sake of myself," her eyes hardened as she glanced at Kroff, the mist grew until they were up to knee-length. "Rayl and my parents were killed by me... using this technique. Rayl and my parents were killed, because of your selfish goals from the organization. Rayl and my parents were your enemy in the organization... their the 'antagonists' from your goals. THat's why you freed me and task me to kill them."
Raising her hand above her head, the mud with water from Kroff's and his men's body went up; entrapping them as they tried to break away from the mud.
"Water coffin!"
Her eyes widen as her hands turn into fist; she could hear the groans and screams in pain of the men's.
"Die!"

Enna silently watched from the side how Lyar easily stuck them from the single place, using water and mud; a frown contorts her brows when she saw Leo, is gaining his consciousness little by little. "Have she been protecting him all along?" she thought out, amuse and surprise how LYAR, the demon inside the girl could do so.
"Why?" she murmured to herself as she looks at Lyar whom called her.
She's giving them their freedom and away from the problem they weren't tied at all.
She scoffs and stand on her ground, "Don't think I will bow gratefully to you from this 'reward'" she growled lowly as she looks at her men. Pride is important to her; especially due to their professions... but her men's, her comrades are much more, than to her pride.
"Let's go, guys..." she ordered as she and her men quickly leave the place.
Enna lastly look back at Leo, then to Lyar.
"They were an odd couple..."

Kroff wriggle in despair as he looks at Lyar in pure fear, his goal to open Rayl's emotions and let out Lyar have failed; he wanted Lyar for his reason, to be his weapon in the Organization. Where no one could against on his rules... where he could reign it for years. But it all instantly failed.
Lyar have grown so strong that he haven't suspect this kind of things happening to all of them. Sure... he have ordered Rayl to kill Leo... to unlock her emotion and freed Lyar. But never would he thought Rayl would do it... what is she fighting for when the guy she cared have died in her own han-
He paused as he looked at Leo, narrowing his eyes; but suddenly widening it, he could see how the boy breathes and move slightly.
"LYAR!!! STOP THIS! DON'T YOU EVER DARE KILL ME! I'M INVINCIBLE!!! I'M YOUR SUPREMO!" he growled, his fear have spread into his nerves as the mist started to appear at their place.
Lyar have let the cheap bandit escape and gave their freedom; but Lyar won't be giving it to them. It will be their downfall.
He cursed inwardly, narrowing his eyes. "Even if I ordered you to kill your parents... you DID it anyway for your lust! IT'S ALL OUR FAULT, LYAR. ENZAN RAYL, LYAR AND ME!!! DON'T YOU TWO FORGET THAT!!!" Kroff almost yelled crazily as they were suck inside the water and mud, choking them until the very end.
Their loud muffles and screams were heard; until a splash of blood inside the element was splash onto the ground near Lyar.
There's a long pause... and silent... the organization, together with Kroff is dead.

By the time Leo can hear screams and yell of obvious pain, it shocked his heart so much, his eyes are widened to their fullest extent. His stomach is against the ground, so it's easier for him to command his weak numbed arms to push his upper body up. His black singlet is soaked, with both blood and water, and there's an unmistakable hole where he was stabbed.
Yet, his wound is magically closed, only a newly healed scar is left. Leo doesn't noticed this yet, due to his disoriented state, and it took all of his strength to sit up and catch his breath. He lifted his eyes, seeing the back of the girl he's so familiar with. The girl who caused such chaos and havoc tonight.
Leo slowly breathed out, and then continued to plant his palms on the wet ground to push himself up on his legs. It took him a while, for he's still unbalanced and groggy, but it doesn't particularly pained him. So when he finally stood to his full height, drenched and all, Leo simply breathed from his mouth and stares at Rayl, or rather Lyar.
He took one step forward, just to test if his body will fall off, but he managed. After he's sure he's capable to walk now, he called out, "R-- ....Lyar." He can tell who it is he's talking now, but he's also aware that Rayl can hear him. "...I don't know...why you did this. On why did you let me live..."
His voice is dry, almost cracking. His eyes gazes sideways for a moment before continuing, "...Thank you." He knows she killed all these people, she killed Rayl's parents, but somehow, Leo doesn't blame her. She was ordered to do so before, and now she has freed herself. "If you need anything from me...anything at all, I shall try to be of help." He feels like he owes her, for getting Rayl out of this major problem. Or they'd both be killed.
There was a pause from him after that, his thoughts whirring by what had transpired. "May I...speak with Rayl...?" If her parents were killed at such a young age, then she must have felt so alone for the longest time. Plus with these assassin group trailing her and giving her missions, she was never really free or capable to be herself.
"I...want to let her know... ...that after knowing what really happened to her parents... I'll be the person she can cry to. ....I'll stay with her." His voice is resolute and his eyes are steady, staring at this girl in front of him. "And I will never leave."

They're all gone... silence have filled the atmosphere... no sign of a living proof in front of Lyar; where she have finished and end up their lives.
It has been settled...
Lyar killed the Organization Supremo...
Lyar's smirk never leave her lips as she looked down at the muddy ground where the Organization was... looking at it mercilessly.
"Freedom, is it?" she softly murmured as she heard Leo grunting and moved a meter away from her.
Calling out her name and thanking for what she have done for her other half. Ah Rayl... the sulking girl in her mind...
She turned around to see the man in mess; wet due to blood and the water, raising an eyebrow in amusement, she scoffs. "Thank me? And you're giving me a favor due to your debt?" she chuckled, looking at him with those cold sinister eyes. "Are you sure about that? You're giving me something you might not wanted too, y'know." she answered, tilting her head at the side.
"Ohh... you wanted to see HER? What if I don't want too?" she paused as Leo told her that she will never leave Rayl's side, because of what happens. Because the revelation was cleared and have been known for all of them.
"Or better yet, what if she don't want to see you?" Lyar countered as she looks at him with those cold, sinister look; a smirk plastered on her face. "After revealing to my other self of what happened to her biological parents... why does she want to face you? With such guilt... tch, foolish and weak girl."

At her words, Leo simply blinked at her groggily and pointed out the obvious, "You're the one who gave me something I might not want." He had explicitly told Rayl to kill him for her freedom. While he does wish to live, he'd gladly let her gain her freedom if it means giving up his life. There's really nothing on this world that motivates him anymore, so why not kill two birds with one stone?
"I was ready to die for her." He stated without a strain of doubt in his uncharacteristically strong tone. "Would you tell me why?" Leo asked, now with a gentler tone as he touched his chest, right on the spot where she stabbed him. In his logic, if there's a reason for Lyar to revive him back alive, then there must be something she expect of him.
When the girl told him that Rayl might not wish to see him, Leo calmly shrugged his shoulders. "That's her choice, of course..." He looked down to see his feet still barefoot. He did got dragged down from his bedroom in his nightwear after all, Leo is by no means properly dressed. "Why, you asked? Well, who else is there for her?" He answered bluntly, without a single tact.
"Its quite intriguing how you stole her parents' lives away, yet you gave me life? Is it because I'm not important enough to die?"

A soft chuckle was emitted from her throat as she looks at the torn guy in front of her. Her other mind speaks nothing but the guilty residing in their hands, not wanting to see the man in front of that Rayl so adored. "I never really thought you wanted to die that much for her, why? She isn't worth of your life anyway. She's an assassin, despite of her stopping from missions and left the organization, she'll always be a murderer in the eyes of everyone." she let out, feeling her other half in despair at what she said.
But suddenly, the man asked her why. Why? She raised an eyebrow at the man who pointed his former wound that turned just into a scar. She shrugged her shoulders, her eyes squinted in boredom. "Eh?"
"The truth lies from her... possible that she have heard you enough that she wanted me to just hit not your vital organs in order for you to survive." she lamely explained, her hands waiving slightly.
Lyar sighed, as the mist from the place started to evaporate; the mist from the place started to come towards her. Her eyes looked at Leo seriously, but her lips turned into a smirk. "I never understand why you humans wanted feelings that makes you be despair in the end. It was those feeling that I hate because of what I saw from those who brought us alive." she raised her hand a bit as she looked at it. "And because of it, I killed them... and yet," her shoulders shook, as she bowed her head. She let out a strangled laugh as tears flowed in her eyes, "They still loved and forgive of what I've done... stupid emotions, makes everyone stupid."
She looked at Leo as she points at him, "And here we are, it was like the same from the past... this woman inside me; albeit of what I do, still has the nerve to worry for the both of us. And yet, she never wanted to show her face of you! Because she's started to live in despair and guilt. How would you understand her?! What would you do now, de Piero?!"
Her body started to mist, looking down; she nodded a bit. "This is our deal... I'm leaving her," she murmured and look at Leo. "This is my freedom of the curse we have. Enjoy handling her now, de Piero." And with that, the mist rapidly grows from her body, as Lyar from Rayl's body mystically left her due to the mist.
And with the mist slowly evaporate from Rayl's body, her eyes were visible despite of the mist. Her eyes with a hue of aquamarine, that contains the soft and cold look she always let out. But those eyes were dull...

At this woman's claim that Rayl is not important to him, a spark of blue fire flickered in his eyes. "And what power do you have to decide for me on what is worth my life?" His tone is calm, but his point pierces through. "The past is the past, nobody can change that. But what's more important is the present and the future, and I already made up my mind if I lived long enough to participate in those two phases of her life whether you like it or not."
Leo has a strange tone when he's serious. It's not very aggressive-sounding, but sharp, unlike his usual faint way of speaking. "She is important to me, I don't wish to loose her if I could."
When it was brought to light of the reason he was spared from the fatal blow, Leo stared at her quizzically. '...Does that mean it's possible for Rayl to take control of this side of her if she really wanted to...?'
Now when the mist began to cloud his view of her that Leo can hear cracks in her voice. It surprised him to have heard that, and he has to strain his hearing to make sure if he really did heard this other half of her...crying... Finally, when the final words were said, Leo was struck in silent shock.
'L-leave...? ...Forever??'
Another wave of mist began to emit from Rayl's body, this time so thick, Leo has to step back because it actually stings his barely clothed self. Once the mist is gone, Leo warily stepped nearer to the ice maiden, inwardly wondering if she's still Lyar or the original Rayl?
"...Rayl...?" He tried calling out to her, with no response.
"Rayl??" Now a more concerned tone laced his voice as he approached her closer, "Rayl, please, can you hear me..?" He reached for her shoulder, patting it slightly to see if she responds.

She breathed heavily as she started to regain consciousness from her own body, where Lyar left her; leaving her the sole controller of her body. Lyar is gone... forever. But still, she knew and feel her deep in her heart that she'll always be by her side. Despite being so cold-hearted and her demon side. She's like her protector.
Her body stiffens when she felt a soft tap from her shoulder, and that familiar voice made her blood go cold; despite her being an ice/water controller.
His words struck in her mind, his statement, his passion for her. And this made Rayl slap his arm away from her... she didn't deserve any of his love nor his care. After what she have done to him awhile ago... she won't forgive herself on it.
"I--" she softly let out, as tears started to dwell in her eyes. She slowly look at Leo, noticing his worried look; she shook her head, trying to not cry in front of him. "I'm sorry..." she let out, pain seen in her eyes. "I-I'm sorry... I hurt you.. I-I almost k-killed you," she grumbled, looking away from her gaze.
"Y-You don't deserve me.." she lastly let out, pity and miserable as she remembered the events awhile ago.

At the slap of his arm, Leo backed away in surprise. He kept his distance after her action, respecting her need for some space, but when Rayl's eyes began to well up, Leo held a concerned expression on his face as he took a step closer. When he finally hears her choked up voice, his panic dropped when he heard her apology.
"What are you talking about...?" Leo gently questions her, his tone calm and collected. "I'm alive and breathing right now, aren't I?" The artist smiled, using his words well. "If anything, you saved me."
It was a strange experience, because he didn't even felt a sort of fear when he was stabbed. It was quick, concise, and surprising, but there are no morbid feelings. If anything, he was ready for death. With thoughts of trading it for her deserved freedom.
"It's like I said..." Leo sighed, "You don't get to decide on what is worthy for me. I decide that myself." A faint smile is on his lips again. "And in my decision, solely based on mine and mine alone and will continue to be mine for a long time; you deserve my attention and care." He stresses that out, trying to make her understand how important she is to him.
He took another step closer, and with a whisper of "I'm sorry," Leo spreads his arm around her and enclosed Rayl in a hug. He doesn't know if she'll smack him again but he doesn't care, she looks like she's about to break into a cry, he can't just leave her standing there alone like that. "...Please don't ever believe you're not enough when you can feel my heartbeat against you," he whispered to her ear with a saddened tone.

She shook her head violently, raising her hands with some tints of blood; blood that comes from him when she stabbed him. She still couldn't grasp that the man in front of her is willingly and wanting her to be with him, despite of what happened to them awhile ago. "Can't you see this hands?! There's blood on it, y-your blood..." she let out, tears started to flood down to her eyes down to her cheeks; her hands trembling, shaking in fear and hopeless. The ring is still attach on her ring finger, a glow appearing on it that shows what emotions she let out.
Her mind reels in despair and guilt, not wanting to believe that Leo is still there for her. Accepted her and understands her situation. She couldn't trust of what she sees... thinking it would be an illusion playing in her mind.
But her heart is thumping wildly, for what Rayl have heard.
And the feeling of the warm hug have stop her from crying; have stop her from beating herself in misery. Those warm hug and the beating of his heart in his chest thumping so calmly; she could hear it as she was leaned into him. Her shoulders shake, as another round of tears roll down from her cheeks. Showing her weakness out, to the one she loved. She shakily encircled her arms around him, crying out softly; her voice soft and frail.

The moment Rayl returned his hug despite her earlier cries, truly did relieved him. He thought she would reject him, to push him away again, and with his passive nature, Leo would allow her to do that if she wishes. However, the ice maiden looked so vulnerable and in pain, he couldn't leave even if she asked him to. He wouldn't abandon her in this state.
"It's all right..." He whispered words of comfort to her ears as they embraced, calmly stroking her back. Leo has been told that he's terribly gentle, as if there's not an ounce of manliness in him. Then again, this sort of gentleness is just what Rayl needed at the moment, to comfort her and allow her to weep without her feeling restrained or threatened. It is proven now, that his gentle personality is not a weakness, but a different type of strength.
"Do you remember...that time when you socked me in the face, back in that cafe?" Leo spoke while still hugging the ice maiden, a small smile is on his lips at the memory. "You said...we're in this together, when I was in trouble..." Very slowly, he pulled himself away from her slightly, just to look in her eyes. They were glassy and slightly red, so Leo ended up cupping her face with his hands and wiped some of the tears off her cheeks with his thumbs.
"We're still in this together, in your trouble now. Please don't leave me out of this next time...okay?" His tone is so serene, it could put people to sleep on their feet. He gazed down in her eyes fondly, and gave out a singular chuckle all of a sudden. "At least I didn't hit you in the face to give my point across."
