Abyss of Loss

"Hello darling sister." In that moment Yuu knew that Mika was gone, gone for who knows how long. He wanted to scream, he wanted to throw his sword at the ground, he wanted to clutch Mika's body to his chest forever and listen to his heartbeat, he wanted to do all those things but instead he just froze. Inside him he felt his heart rip into pieces, he felt like throwing himself off a cliff and he felt loss, he felt a gaping void inside of him, as if an important part of him had been ripped out of his body and snuffed out forever. Yuu looked over to Shinoa who was staring at Mahiru with her mouth open and eyes agape. "Onee-san?" Yuu saw as Shinoa dropped to her knees, scythe clattering to the floor and he saw as tears fell down her face. "Onee-san, I...no, it's not you is it? It can't be you, I watched you die, you fell in front of me and I saw your body. I saw them burn you, I was at there at your funeral! I...please forgive me...Onee-san I lo-!"

Shinoa squad all watched as Mika's body rose from the ground and swayed a little before it elegantly walked over to Shinoa, leaned into Shinoa's ear and whispered, "Shinoa-chan I have always loved you and I'm so, so sorry for becoming the creature that I am now."

Shinoa's face contorted into a pained expression to which Narumi responded to by bending down, pulling her into a tight hug and whispering, "I know, I understand how you feel, you can cry but for the sake of your squad and for the mission, stay strong. I'll be there for you when you want to cry again." Mahiru had gotten used to Mika's body by now and Mahiru did a few spins in the middle of the room before addressing the squad by saying, "Now, all of you pigs! As you all know by now I am Mahiru Hiiragi, sister of Shinoa and former lover of the man you all are trying to save. He is beyond that door by the way darlings. Now, it has been quite a while since I have been in a body which was a horrible experience so you won't be seeing this guy again for a while. He is a feisty one though, he is really trying to take control. Too bad that screaming at me won't help his situation." At this point in time Mahiru bent her body over and clutched her hands to her head as she screamed, "Shut the hell up you scum!"

At that moment Yuu stood up with a dark look on his face and in a calm, scary voice said, "Give my Mika back to me. I still have to tell him something and I will do whatever it takes to get him back even if that means killing you." He launched himself towards Mahiru at a great speed which took the woman by surprise as she fell over when Yuu landed a kick into her chest. Yuu upon taking his enemy to the ground, unsheathed his sword and pointed it at her throat. Mahiru quickly smoothed out her expression of surprise as she exclaimed, "My, my Yuu-chan was it? According to the screaming and clawing in my head that is. Under different circumstances I would properly charge you with sexual assault right now but I guess you can't help being attracted to this body." As she said this she ran her eyes up and down Yuu's figure after which Yuu in a confused voice responded with, "What are you talking about?" He started to look around when he suddenly noticed the position that he had put himself in. His legs were straddling Mika's hips and one hand was on Mika's chest in order to support Yuu's body. This hand that was supporting Yuu's body felt Mika and Mahiru's steady, combined heartbeat. Upon realising these facts he started getting flustered and embarrassed but he still held the sword at her throat. Mahiru laughed in a chilling manner in response to Yuu's embarrassment and glared at Yuu as she said, "Yuu-chan, did you know how great it is to be a demon? For example I am peering right into your heart's desires right now and I can give them to you, right here, right now! How about it?"

"I don't need those desires fulfilled by someone else, I will satisfy them myself without the help of the likes of you." Yuu said with a steely glare.

"Oh is that so? Then..." Mahiru wrenched an arm out from Yuu's legs and before Yuu could react, she caught his collar and pulled him until his lips made contact with hers. He tried to pull away but then he was stopped by the light feeling in his chest as he felt Mika's soft lips pressed against his and his silky hair that was as soft as a feather. Yuu's hand that wasn't holding the sword roamed up and down Mika's body as Yuu sneaked a hand up Mika's shirt and felt Mika's flat stomach. Their tongues intertwined as Mika deepened the kiss and Yuu felt himself melting into the kiss as he moaned, "Ah, Mika!" This was Yuu's first kiss since in the past he had never been too inclined to get himself a girlfriend and he had no idea that it would feel this good and that Mika's lips would feel so soft. Mika's body somehow managed to fit perfectly against his, as if they were meant to do this together. At that moment Yuu heard something that sounded like people screaming in the background but at this point he didn't even know or care if they were his friends or enemies, a whole war could've been waging around him and yet all that mattered to him at that moment was Mika, his Mika, right here, right now and the two of them connected like this. He could've stayed there forever, just exploring Mika's beautiful body but suddenly he felt alarms going off in his head. He felt like waving them off because what could possibly be wrong? It's Mika right? His one and only desire, wait desire? No he has more than one desire! More than one but he can't remember them at all, all he can remember is Mika and his beautiful black eyes. Wait, black eyes!? Yuu wrenched himself away from the kiss and looked down to see Mahiru's demonic smile as she said, "You seemed to have enjoyed that, Yuu-chan!"

Yuu screamed as he drove the sword towards her throat but stopped centimetres away from her flesh, his hand shaking as tears fell down his face and Yuu tasted the saltiness of those tears as they continued to stream down his face when he whispered in an agonized voice, "Why Mika of all people?" Mahiru opened her mouth to respond when Yuu saw an arrow enter into her neck and vanish into a powder. He looked up to see that Yoichi was standing above him and in an apologetic voice he said, "Don't worry Yuu-kun, these arrows are made to knock people out for a few hours, not to kill them. Let's grab Guren and we'll figure out a way to save Mika back at headquarters."

Yuu with tears in his eyes desperately shouted, "You mean we just have to leave him here!?"

Shinoa walked over to Yuu and said, "Yes we must leave him here, they must not know that we were here. We have already made enough noise as it is but we seemed to have gotten lucky so far. I know it pains you but Mika hasn't given up yet and neither should you. Mika is doing his very best to make life a living hell for Mahiru, so don't give up!"

Kimizuki sauntered over as he added, "We are family after all..."

Mitsuba was the last to walk over as she stuck her hand out to Yuu and said, "Come on Yuu, let's go. Let's finish getting back a part of our family!"

Yuu wiped his tears away as he smiled and said, "Yea let's get that idiot Guren back at least!" Yuu reached his hand out and clasped Mitsuba's, pulling himself up into a standing position. Yuu looked down to see Mika with an almost angelic expression on his face now that his eyes were closed. It reminded him of when they were kids and they slept together. When he couldn't sleep he would just watch Mika sleep and would play with his silky hair until he felt sleepy again. After Yuu lost Mika it took him over a year to find a different remedy that would help him get to sleep again but nothing could replace those 'peaceful' times.

As a group Shinoa and Narumi squad walked over to the door that Mahiru had pointed out to them and after Shinoa smashed it open with the help of her demon, they swooped in and took up defensive positions. They were greeted with the sight of a battered and bloody body lying alone on the ground which upon hearing the squad lifted its head and in a withered voice Guren said, "About time you precious brats."
