This was the second time now that Mayu was free-falling through the air without anything to break her fall; except this time she was much higher up then last time.

The crowbar was tightly being clenched in her fist so much that her knuckles were turning white and her hair was whipping all about her face form the heavy wind that was accumulating from her dangerous fall. As she fell, she witnessed a flash of pink in her line of sight and looked up to see Belkia had jumped off of the building after her with one of his swords in his hand.

'He truly is crazy!'

Mayu yelped slightly and quickly held her crowbar in front of her as Belkia's sword clanged hard against it and the impact shook her arms slightly and made a fearful and small crack issue from the crowbar. Despite it being a lead, the caramel colored hair girl couldn't begin to fathom what would happen if her only weapon broke while she was already in this predicament. Not only was she at the risk of hitting the ground and splattering against it like an egg, but she also had to dodge Belkia' sword and make sure it didn't cut her or impale her for the time being.

"You're a stubborn one, huh?!? It's about time you just died now little Mayu!!" Belkia laughed with a sadistic gleam in his eyes.

He raised the sword to strike her once more but Mayu blocked it in the nick of time with her crowbar as the tip of the steel weapon cut a deep wound across the girl's left cheek causing her to wince. Suddenly, as if by some stroke of luck, a loud shattering sound was heard from one of the windows of the hotel and Mayu saw a flash of blonde hair before someone grabbed her around the waist and pulled her towards them. She yelped in shock and looked up to see the Servamp of Greed holding her tightly and smiling widely.

"Lawless?!" She exclaimed "you're alright!!"

"Of course!" He began "when I saw my beautiful Juliet falling through the air I had to..."

He was suddenly cut off as a sharp kick was sent to his back and he yelped in pain before hurtling in Belkia's direction as the two slammed into each other. Mayu looked up again and blushed in embarrassment when she saw Licht carrying her this time; unaware he had jumped out of the window too.

"You ok?"

"Yes!!" Mayu squeaked in surprise "but Licht you shouldn't have done that!! You're going to die from this fall too!!!!"

"Angels don't die" he replied simply.

"But you're not an..."

"THIEF!!!" Lawless interrupted as he kicked Licht away and grabbed Mayu again "I GRABBED HER FIRST!!!!"

"KICK ME EVER AGAIN AND YOU'LL BE IN THE DEPTHS OF HELL SOON ENOUGH!!!" Licht yelled angrily, kicking Belkia hard in the face due to his frustration.

Mayu sweatdropped slightly and looked down to see they were seconds away from hitting the ground. Licht's boots then began glowing again and he activated his lead as Lawless grinned and hoisted Mayu up slightly before carrying her bridal style as the caramel colored hair girl blushed a bright red. He then hit the ground without injuring himself and steadied his balance as Licht did the same due to his boots which also made a small crater in the ground upon his landing. The blonde haired vampire set the girl down and she dusted herself off quickly before smiling in gratitude.

She hadn't expected to be saved like that but all the same she was grateful.

However, there happiness was short lived when Belkia landed on the ground and glared up at the three of them angrily with a murderous look in his eyes and his sword still clenched tightly in his hand.
