"WE were so close, but you don't understand either." "There is no death in love ...only an eternal bond made solid through blood."

HE saw the smoke bomb being smashed against the ground. The sight of Rita's retreating form, he didn't follow after her as he looked at Rukodo, and stood ready to block any attacks by her. He of course didn't realize her betrayal yet ...as he simply smiles.

"I guess, you are right ...I can't love you nor you can love me." "The misunderstanding is too great." "Leave now, I don't want to taste your blood any more."

He then turned, and put away his sword as he leaped for one of the nearest branches once he was sure that Rita was safe. He figured he would merely met back with her at the village, and thus, he launched himself into the tree.
