Haru smield a bit."well then lets hope you can!",

Aria nodded feeling nervous. It wasn't till two weeks later when she felt a shard near by. "I sense one." She grinned pointing to a village. "It's near there."

Haru blinked a bit."wonderful,lets start looking"

Yuna nodded."yeah,lets go",she said calmly and started walking,she had loosened up a bit with the group,and now felt more confidnet about going into villages,not caring if people stared or saidd anything

Aria lead the way hoping her sense wasn't sending them the wrong way. "We're getting closer." She stopped short as she spotted a couple. "That woman...she's dead...or she should be." She frowned.

Haru frowned a bit."I can smell death"

Yuna tensed."how can you tell Aria?"

"The smell for one and the grave dirt of her kimono." Aria watched them. "She has a shard in her body." She gasped.

"what do we do?"Haru askes worried.

Yuna blinked a bit."tear it out of here",she said sounding way to calml about it.

"I feel kind of bad for the man." Adam frowned a little then sighed. "Yuna's right though." he headed for the couple.

Aria watched heart clenching imagining if that was her mother or father. She looked away unable to bear the sight of the man losing the person he loved so much again.

Haru stayed where he was.'this isnt fair"


Yuna followed frowning a bit."Adam et me do it",she said quitely

"Why does it matter who does it? We need that shard...I think he'll understand and if not he could get violent." Adam shrugged a little.

"Let's just get the shard." Aria swallowed still not watching.

"I want to do it so you don't look bad...a samuria taking a life of a inocent person,wouldnt be right,as demon its almost expected of me"

Haru frowned a bit l;ooking down

"They aren't innocent anymore besides I do worse." Adam set his jaw as they approached the couple. "We need that shard." he demanded scowling at the man.

yUNA LOOKED DOUGHTFUL AND STOOD BESIDE aDAM."NO MADER WHAT WERE TAKING IT"

The man pulled his wife behinde him."over my dead body",he said softly

"Very well if you will not give it willingly." Adam went for his sword but Aria stepped in.

"Try talking first." Aria hissed she looked to the man. "I understand why you did it but...what kind of life will she has. The shard can't sustain her life even know she is falling apart."

Haru blinked a bit at Adam's willingness to fight so easily.

The man looked to Aria.'waht would you know...she isall i had left....",he said softly

"I know because both my parents are gone I have no one left." Aria looked to the woman. "End her pain...you love her that much don't you?"

The man got s sad look and looked back to his wife."very well",he said going over to his wife tars rolling down his face

Aria felt her heartbreaking again and gave the man the time he needed to let go.

Yuna sighed and chose to walk away,looking aroiund a bit.

Haru watched as the man said one last good-bye,then looked to them

The man frowned."may I at least take her back to her resting place"

"Of course." Aria smiled. "I'll follow and get the shard from you when she passes." she looked to the woman and tried not to flinch at the heavy smell of death. The spell wouldn't keep her body alive much longer so she would be nothing but a zombie.

Haru smiled some."I'll come too",he said worried that a demon would attack.

The man nodded and lead them away to a dug up grave helping is wife in he gave her a small kiss once more,tears in his eye,his heart shattering once more then removed the shard ,handing it numbly to Aria.

Aria gave him a hug before placing the shard with the others. "I'm sorry." she added then hurried off before she could start crying.

"Did you get it?" Adam asked then gasped for air as Aria punched him hard in the stomach. 'Go to hell.' she snarled before rushing off.

Haru quickly followed,staying close.

The man watched them go and once alone he pulled out his dager."i hve no one",he said before stabbing himself in the heart.


Yuna who had been loking at a ute flower hair pin blinked looking up seein Aria and Shiro."did you guys have to kill him?"

"What? No of course not." Aria rubbed her cheeks "the loneliness will do that." she glared at her. "You and Adam belong together your both heartless." she felt hot tears running down her cheeks and before she said anything she would regret she raced off into the forest.

Yuna blinked and looked away growling a bit.

Haru frowned galring at Yuna."maybe you should have gone on your own way,you have no idea what she is feeling",he then sighed chacing after Aria again.

Yuna glared at the haor pin she had been looking at,heading in the opisite direction
