The next morning…

~Baka Tochi! Baka Shinya! Where the hell are you now!?><!!!

The Devil Kyo scolded his servants while he was flying in the sky 
with handed his teddy bear in his right hand just as usual, but there was 
one very important thing that unusual for the Devil…now it’s just 
7:00 am in the early down! In addition, as usual, it was still the bedtime 
for him! 

In fact, having been leave alone slept in the top of the mountain last 
night, the Devil’d planned to sleep sleep sleep and sleep all day long 
when he sunk himself in to his deep sweet sleep. Unfortunately, an 
overwhelming hunger ’d woken him very early in this morning, after rolled 
around, trying to went back to sleep unsuccessfully for a several time, 
Kyo finally gave up and woke, He could sleep no more because his 
stomach was so empty, then he wondered why he’d been so hungry. He 
remembered one thing anxiously: Toshiya forgot to feed him last night! Stupid 
Tochi!><

So the Devil had to feed himself without any help this morning, and 
after finished off his breakfast (~sorry, not sure which’s Kyo’s fav 
food!), the Devil felt a bit bored, Without Toshiya or Shinya, the Devil 
had no one else to make fun with. Now the bored little Devil was 
dying to find something fun to do. Wait a minutes…perhaps there were 
something useful in his pocket…let’s try…

Later, he found a piece of paper within his pocket…a he read the 
paper lazily, “Hummm…let’s see…” Coincidently, it was the contract 
between Kaoru and Toshiya, according to their contract, if once Kaoru’s 
wish was completed, Toshiya could take [the most important thing] away 
from him forever…humm…after finished reading it Kyo yelled.

“Wah~that one’s EASY! Even ME can handle it well!”

That was exactly what he need! some interesting thing! After all Devil 
Kyo found something to do. He rose onto the mid-air and flew away, 
ready to *help* Toshiya to complete his contract.

A while later in Die & Kaoru’s, place…

The sun was rising slowly, another brand new day was going to begin. A 
soft ray of sunlight had also waked Die from his dream; He heard some 
birds singing though the window glass. 

Die murmured lazily a little but then he realized his lover was still 
asleep while he laid his eyes on Kaoru who laying next to him. He 
understand the younger one must be very tired after such a wild night they 
shared together (and again, please imagine how wild they got by 
yourself.^.^ |||) He recalled what he had done with his younger brother last 
night, it’s totally against all kind of morality, but he couldn’t think 
it’s wrong doing. He didn’t regret to confess his truly feeling to 
Kaoru, he confessed it so honestly as if some invisible force had led 
him to do it, strange. 

Die left the bed and dressed himself up, his ever movement were so 
lightly and soundlessly, carefully try not to wake Kaoru.

He looked down to the window and noted plenty of red roses were blooming 
in the garden. They were so lovely. Now all Die willing to do was took 
those flowers to Kaoru. How beautiful it was! Kaoru must love it.

And then he walked out of the room and went downstairs, made his way to 
the garden, leaned down and plucked the most beautiful and rosier one. 
But before he ever turned back. A noise cry struck him rapidly.

Die looked up to the sky and he saw…

“Hooo…there you are!!!!” Kyo who was in his teddy bear pajamas, 
hugged his teddy bear in his arm, smirked wickedly to Die, fliedflying high 
above the sky, handed his teddy bear in his right hand.


***

Kaoru woke shortly after Die left the room, but he still wasn’t very 
awake straight away…“Die…”he groaning lightly, rolled over to the 
other side of the bed and reach out his arm to search Die, but he end up 
encountering into the empty air.

~Die?

Then Kaoru shut his eyes open, looking around the room, Die wasn’t 
there. He found himself being leave in the room alone, not a soul around. 
He began to worry. Where was Die? Kaoru still vividly remembered Die 
held him in his arms and leaned against him…so tightly and warm…but 
where’s he now?

At the same time, his right hand felt like burring. It hurt so much it 
cause his body aching in pain immediately. He felt 
something….something was coming on it way!

Kaoru felt the same evil atmosphere he’d felt last night…the same 
evil atmosphere around the tiny Devil! Why he could feel it so close to 
here? It couldn’t be…and yet it was coming! Faster and faster, it went 
toward him! Kaoru could tell it all! Something evil was on it way!

Something must be wrong! Consequently, he hurried to dress himself up 
and ran downstairs. 

***

In the garden…

Kaoru hurried to the garden and just before he reached to the 
doorframe, he saw the little Devil he’d just met in the early last night. In 
addition, when he saw the Devil dashing himself to Die, suddenly Kaoru 
knew what was going to happen instantly. It cause the purple head felt 
his chest constrict immediately.

He had completed a contract with Devil, so now it was time to pay off.

“NO!!!!” Kaoru cried but it was already too late. 

Die heard Kaoru cried to him, the purple head’s voice quaver 
helplessly and fell with so much horror. He turned to Kaoru’s side, at the same 
time, the Devil’s hand cut right into Die’s chest as if a knife 
cutting though a soft warm butter, but not a drop of blood went out, then he 
pulled his hand out again with a small glittering object in his hand, 
the entire incident happened within a second.
Kaoru know Devil Kyo’d just pulled Die’s soul off him, and the tiny 
object was his soul! He himself had just witnessed Kyo pulled Die’s 
soul out of his body!

Kaoru stand where he was, he froze, almost lost his conscious. Fuzzily 
a voice within himself told him…

~If one’s soul left one’s body, that person could only be…. dead.

Die didn’t know what’s that all about, he only saw the stranger short 
guy crash in front him and pulled something off him, he felt so strange 
though it was no pain at all. His body was so heavy, he fall and hit 
the ground helplessly. He felt like sinking in to a bottomless deep, 
sinking, sinking and sinking, endlessly. He closed his eyes eventually.

Kaoru rushed in to Die’s side, Held the older man in his arm, called 
his name trying to wake him again, but it didn’t work, of course.” You 
can’t- you can’t do it!” Kaoru cried to the Devil.

“Why I can’t?” Dviel Kyo raise his eyelids, with a wicked look in 
his cutely face. “Don’t tell me you forgot that you had a contract with 
us! What wrong for me to take the reward that I should have?”

“The price is…Die’s soul…?” confusedly Kaoru asked the Devil.

“Yes, according to your contract, it’s the price. ” Kyo blinked, he 
went on.” You still don’t realize it, Don’t you? This man is the 
most important thing to you ne!”

“So I’d got the reward as our contract, the contract’s completed! 
see you!” the Devil chunked before he flied high up into the sky with 
Die’s soul in his hand. Leaving Kaoru and Die’s lifeless body behind.

“Hello~~”

No answer.

“Hello? is that anybody home?” Hide, the principal in that neighbor 
stand outside of the two brother’s house, He was worrying about Kaoru 
so he came on over there in this morning, so he wanted to check if the 
brothers were okay or not. Then after he found the front door was widely 
open, his suspicious increased. 

“Huh…nobody’s home? How come?”

Then Hide went inside the house, looked inside the house, the rooms 
were dark, he walked though room after room, no body was there.

He went on and on toward a room at the end of the passage, it was the 
inner most room in the first floor.

“…Hello?” He asked again before opened the door, again no reply, 
only the silence air quivering slightly around him.

After he got used to the darkness within the room, finally he saw a 
familiar figure was sitting on the floor, Hide couldn’t help exclaimed 
when he recognized the figure as the purple head. ”Kaoru-san!? Where the 
hell had you been yesterday!!? We almost call the police! Don’t you 
know how much we worried about yo-”

His voice vanished suddenly as he went closer.

There Kaoru were, with his eyes ghastly wild open, holding his brother, 
Die, who had his eyes close and laid unconscious tightly. Kaoru was so 
still and lifeless as if a state, his eyes weren’t focus at all and 
they were so empty they made Hide felt himself shivering all over.

However, Hide realized he had some more serious thing he ought to worry 
about Die who seemed to be even in a worse condition than Kaoru.

“Kaoru!” Hide shook Kaoru’s shoulders, who didn’t seemed to hear 
him at all violently, he went on. “Just tell me what happened!? 
Die…isn’t he-he DEAD!!!???”

No answer from the purple head at all, so Hide had no choice but 
turning to Die’s side. Fortunately, he checked and found the red head was 
still breathing! Nevertheless, his heartbeat went slower and slower…the 
older man knew the fact right away: the red head was dying!

However, Kaoru couldn’t hear a single word from Hide, he could only 
hear a familiar voice spoke to him annoyingly and urgently. Still a few 
words entered to his brain…Die…is dead.

Dead.

The word “Dead” echoed within his ears, again and again and 
again…followed by the rerunning of the whole incident. Right in front his 
eyes…and all the sorrow overwhelming him entirely. Let he broke into a 
slapping cry.

“Noooooooo!!!!!”

Hide thought it must be the most miserable cry, which he had ever heard 
in his whole life.

** 

A little while later, after Kyo returned to his home….

“Lalala~” Devil Kyo floating and playfully thrown Die’s soul into 
the mid-air again and again. “How funny~lalala~~” It was such a fine 
toy to make fun with!

While kyo was so busy to play, the front door was opened, and Toshiya 
stepped into Kyo’s place at that moment, with a big shopping bag filled 
with a lot of food.

“Hey~Master, I’d brought your food for you ne!” But then his smiled 
vanished.

“What the hell is THAT!?!?” Toshiya exclaimed and pointed to Kyo’ 
hand when he saw the glittering ball that the Devil was handing. “Don’t 
tell me it’s the price!” he couldn’t believe his own eyes.

“Toshiya! I’d just helped you to bring your price back!” Kyo grinned 
at Toshiya proudly.

“It’s…[the most important thing to Kaoru]…?” Toshiya asked 
uncertainty , he could hardly believe his eyes. That’s…impossible!

“Yes.” Kyo answered calmly.

Now Toshiya realized he’d made a big mistake. He thought the thing 
that meant most significant to Kaoru must be his own life. In addition, as 
centrally speaking, there’s nothing more significant and vital than 
one’s own life. Toshiya thought he’d made a best deal with Kaoru that 
he could take the best reward-Kaoru’s soul, which supposed to be the 
most important thing of him, away.

Nevertheless, completely out of Toshiya’s expectation, now the fact 
turned out to be like this: instead of his own life, [The most important 
thing of Kaoru] was Die! Is that mean in Kaoru’s heart, Die means even 
more important than his own life? Impossible! So, what can he do now? 
Toshiya closed his eyes, thought his entire situation all over 
carefully, but the more he thought, the more bitterness he felt.

Still, Toshiya couldn’t be upset for very long, he forced himself to 
claim, and thought how to prepare for his next step.
