"Oh? Looks like you're waking up... Don't forget me!" He said, grinning.

Mekato opens his eyes, he looks around. He notices Ima on one side of the room and Lio on the other side.

"Where are we?" Mekato asked.

"Who knows..." Lio said.

Mekato puts his hand on the back of his head. They hit him good on his head.

"What do we do now?" Mekato asked.

"Listen up, stop asking. We don't know these questions too." Lio said, frustrated.

Ima was quiet all the time. But then a door opened in the end of the hallway, multiple people were walking to their way. Harime and Tumotu ended up on the other side of the bars.

"Well hello there, everyone." Tumotu said.

"You piece of shit... What do you want?" Lio said.

"Woah, no need to get frustrated..." Harime said.

"Unless you're hiding something?" She followed up. Mekato turned to Lio.

"Wh-... I don't know what you're talking about." Lio said.

"That secret you kept hiding... about your Dad- ?" Lio ran, he grabbed her and pulled her his way.

"Some secrets are supposed to kept quiet... Okay?" Lio said.

"Oh? All that anger is unnecessary." She said, smiling.

"You'll soon get that anger off of you..." A door opened behind Mekato, Lio and Ima.

"In there you go." Harime said. They all walked in, there were weapons everywhere.

Harime and Tumotu were on a podium up above.

"So, the rules are simple, three go in, one gets out." Tumotu said.

"What do you mean?" Mekato asked.

"It means you kill everyone until you're alive." Tumotu followed up.

"As if we were going to do that." Mekato said, grinning.

"We knew that would happen, so Ima!" Tumotu shouted.

"Remember that secret Harime was talking about?" Tumotu shouted.

"It's about your dad, if you didn't know!" Harime shouted.

"I know everything, I've read his mind!" She followed up.

"W-What?!" Ima said, her eyes widened up.

"He killed your dad, forcing his dad gave the Blessed Vessel to him, instead of you." She said.

"He trusted Lio more than you." She followed up.

"Since then Lio has been trying to finish his job that his dad gave... And that is..." Harime said, grinning.

She pointed to Ima.

Stolen story; please report.

"...Just to kill you." Harime said.

Ima looked at the weapon infront of her, slowly grabbing one of the swords.

"Oh? Lio you should grab one too." Harime said.

Lio walked to Mekato, he whispered something.

"If I die... You'll say that, got it?" Lio ended up saying.

Mekato's eyes widened up.

"You aren't dieing!" Mekato said.

Ima charged with the sword, and Lio walked away from Mekato, he opened his arms, smiling.

But suddenly Mekato jumped in, grabbing the blade with his bare hands. He was bleeding, and the sword stabbing him deep in his chest. Her eyes widened up.

"M-Mekato?" She said.

"We're talking this out, no need for killing..." Mekato said, coughing up blood.

She pulled the knife out and Mekato let the knife go. Mekato activated his Kurenai and the wound slowly healed, but not completely. Lio and Ima were looking at him, they we're shocked.

"Is ther something- ?!" He was talking as suddenly he noticed something dropping out of his eyes.

He wiped it off and noticed it was blood, was he crying blodd? He stopped his Kurenai, and then wiped all the blood off.

"So that means you aren't gonna avenge your dad?" Harime said. Mekato noticed Ima held the sword tighter.

"What a shame..." Harime said.

"Looks like you got your life saved, Lio, Killing your dad was worth the Kurenai I guess." Harime followed up.

She was trying to tease her. 

"Mekato, out of the way..." Lio said. 

"What- ?!" As Mekato asked Lio kicked him away, he grabbed a sword from the ground and charged to Ima.

"That's right... Ima you might not know but it was your fault you weren't home at time." Harime said.

Her eyes widened up, she looked at Lio charging her way.

"If you hadn't left home, it would've never happened!" Lio shouted.

Lio swinged the sword but Ima blocked it. Ima activated her Kurenai.

"You were the one who killed him!" She shouted, as they clashed their weapons.

They looked eachother in the eye. Lio kicked her away and charged again. He activated his Blessed Kurenai.

"It wasn't my choice!" He shouted, as his wings grew on his back.

"Listen, dad asked for it. He said it was for yo-" "Shut up!" She shouted through him, as they were blocking each others attacks, Ima swinged and hit Lio on his leg. He kneeld with the leg and he dropped his weapon, as he wanted to stand up Ima's sword was pointing on his head. Lio let out a sigh.

"Fine... Kill me." Lio said.

"But before you do... Listen up..." Lio said.

"What actually happened that day- !" As Lio was talking, someone pushed him forward into the blade.

Ima looked up and saw Harime kick her away, she dropped the sword too.

"Why did it take so long?" Harime said.

She looked and saw Tumotu grab Mekato.

"Just for this once, you two get to live..." She said.

Ima looked at her hands, she had blood all over her. Did she really want this to happen is the question?

"You should head back to your home, you'll see what he mea-" As Harime was talking Ima grabbed her by her neck.

"I want to hear the truth, now!" She said.

"Or you'll go with him to the afterlife." Ima said.

Harime was grinning.

"Sure, but don't turn depressed if you hear..."

- - - - -

"You should go home, its getting dark." Mekato said, throwing the plank away he hit the man with.

"S-Sure..." Ima said, running back home.

She saw the car door open and the house door.

"Dad!" She shouted, she saw him lying on the ground, And saw the person with Lio's spiked baseball bat.

But it wasn't Lio.

"The person who killed your dad..." She said. 

- - - - -

"...That was me." Harime said, smiling.

Ima looked at her.

"...Impossible-" When she was talking she got knocked out, again.

All this time she was giving his older brother the blame, but it wasn't him at all. Why did Lio play along like he was the one who killed him, and how did he get the Blessed Kurenai? She'll have to think about this. It was quiet for a while, she heard a voice, it was shouting for her. Then she opened her eyes, her eyes were glowing gold.

"W- What is going on- !?" She said, she noticed she had a blessed vessel, but no wings. Then she noticed.

"Brother..." She said, starting to cry. Mekato was next to her, they were back at Minato, Where everything began. Her Kurenai deactivated.

"Let's find a way back..." Mekato said, reaching his hand to her.

She nodded, grabbing his hand.

"Where are we going?" Ima asked.

"I honestly... Don't know." Mekato said.

"Let's just find a place to live, forget what happened." Mekato followed up.

As they walked away...
