Ru gave a small smile over to Kaku, he knew he had nothing to worry about. It was probably just the nightmare realm talking. Looking at Kaku, Ru pulled him over for a very quick kiss, knowing he couldn't give a longer one just yet. Before glancing to his sister to make sure she was still okay, and proceeding to Growl up to Itamu. Rurushu gave a laugh, he may never have known Itamu personally, but even Ru could tell this was just an evil copy. Using his strength to block the attack, though he knew he couldn't a second time, Ru pushed the shovel away. "That's where your wrong. I'm not being used, trust me, I would know. And he never forgot you, part of him still loves you, but I don't mind, I wouldn't expect him not to." Standing up, Ru clicked his back into place. "And I'm not some loyal idiot dog. I'm just a loyal one." Unsheathing his sword, Ru pointed it towards Itamu. "No more playing... Besides, Hane should be here any second, and that will be no fun for you." "Ha! That slave driving frown machine as Kaku calls him? HA! I'd like to see him try to defeat me with that pathetic style of his." Ru just smirked.

Hane felt a little disappointed. He recalled telling Rurushu that he could handle these nightmare fish, but at least expected some sort of challenge when being left to do so. A small bite, or something. But it seemed Mitasu wasn't doing very well in instructing the minds of these fish to be anything but predictable. Hane could easily slice each into stew-sized chunks without so much as a slight struggle. Really, the only issue with the enemy was their sheer numbers, other than that, they were no better at fighting than a reluctant teenage Kakushin. Speaking of his highness, Hane had received no indication that they were facing troubles. Though, the same could be said for any sign of good new as well. So the guard felt his natural need to protect others rise, deciding to leave the last fish only sliced in half and not in pieces and took to the skies. Hane easily spotted the movement of the others, though, there was more than one of them there. At first, Hane assumed it was Mitasu, but he was certain the Demon woman didn't have white hair, or was male. Flying in closer, Hane could spot Kaku on the ground with Rurushu defending him. Trained well, Hane was able to land out of sight, and without a single noise. From this level, the guard easily picked up what was being said. Hane's frown grew deeper with what he heard, deciding to push through the trees and reveal himself from behind this white-haired assailant. Hane drew his sword, the silver hiss hopefully grabbing attention, "It pains me greatly that his highness calls his old sword master such a vulgar title, but I will not let that distract me actions... however..." Hane pointed his sword forwards towards this white haired man, "Your clear insult for a sword style that has been honed for over two hundred years greatly disturbs me. Allow me to educate you on what true sword wielding looks like." Hane stated, finishing his speech without a need to utter another word. He'd not spare this man another breath, and allowed the white haired man to chuckle for only a second, before ending this game. In the movement of light, Hane rushed forwards, appearing behind the opponent with sword moved from it's previous position. Behind him, with shock on his face, the assailant fell to his knees, slices across arms and legs to immobilise him. Hane sheathed his sword, huffing once, before looking to Rurushu. "Where is Mitasu?"

Mitasu had watched the fight, both highly disappointed and greatly amused. Her hope to break Kakushin failed, but she could tell the words from her creation stuck within Rurushu's mind, and would bare problems to come, here or another time. But how easily this Hane defeated her creation was a problem, and she knew now that she would have to break him, the Kings could be used against one another, but the bodyguard would take special care, nothing like a couple of old friends of his couldn't fix. Moving from her spot, Mitasu made herself visible on the roof of the temple as she was asked for. "I'm right here... Never went anywhere in the first place..." Cocking her head to the side, she smirked before holding both hands out and began to form two people. "I know you must be itching to fight, but I have never played fair..." Letting two more bodies form, Mitasu hoped to break another, as Hane's old friends came to live, blooded and broken, wings amiss. Now two at the same time wouldn't be as strong, but even the weak could break the strong, and that's exactly as she planned, exactly as she wanted. "Have fun my children, I'm sure he has missed you terribly. I can see."

Hane looked to Kakushin after that easy fight was over. The king looked both broken with heartache, and relief. Hane wasn't fluent in reading others expressions, but he could tell whoever the white haired man was, he was precious to Kakushin in some way. Which made the guard ever more glad he taken down what seemed to be crushing hindrance on his highness. Hane looked up when he heard the Demoness speak, making sure to take note of her face whilst she showed herself. "Though you finally decide to make yourself visible, Mitasu." He commented foully. Hane already drew his sword once more, sensing that Mitasu had another trick waiting in the air. He let the witch work her magic, prepared to fight whatever illusions she summoned, knowing that this world wasn't the real one, emotions here shouldn't be determined by what one faced off against. Though, Hane had to hand it to Mitasu. The enemies Hane was to face were tough. Hane looked to his two old friends, finding himself remembering how young he'd once been alongside them. He also remembered how they'd died horribly by the hands of Demons. The first time Hane had felt fear, and anger and despair. Since then, Hane couldn't recollect such feelings, but now seeing their faces, he could remember how such emotions felt. Hane's face was unmoving, though inside was a storm of emotions. Only calmed at last, when Hane spoke. "I remember these faces. They are of the ones I failed to save, lifetimes ago. Faces I refuse to forget. My old friends, if only you weren't just the illusional puppets of a Demonic witch, then perhaps I could express how deeply sorry I am, for failing you." Hane muttered, preparing his sword. The next step was taken with eyes closed, as Hane couldn't bare to look at his friends suffer once again as he cut them down. "But I will still say it," Hane added, eyes still closed for numerous reasons to help Hane through this, "I am sorry."

Mitasu knew Hane would be a tough one to crack, but oh how that made the end result all the more sickly sweet. Looking to her creations, Mitasu sent the two to fight, before turning her gaze towards the girl here too, still frozen, weak is what she was, but held so many emotions with others, so a perfect pawn to use when needed. Letting her go to free up power, Mitasu turned back to he who she was currently trying to crack. Hane wasn't letting the emotions get to him, so she focused her energy on creating the other two lost friends of his, both looking how they should today, but still known as to whom they are. If the past wont break him, perhaps the wanted future would, the future where his friends lived, grew old and died. "Young children whose lives were lost. Reborn, given another chance to change things... How sweet such a reunion must be Hane?" Smirking, Mitasu sent her next creations out for attack, much stronger then the last, it was almost time for her to have her own fun. But it needed a little longer breaking them. And she couldn't wait for that.

Hane knew the game set for him wouldn't be over so easily. Mitasu made the rules herself, and seemed determined to break Hane. The poor witch would find it hard work to do so. Hane had spend two centuries making sure that he was emotionally indestructible. Nothing had broken him yet, but he could credit Mitasu for trying. It did pain Hane to see the blood of his friends on his sword. An illusion or not, it all brought back memories Hane tried to forget. He just prayed that Mitasu wasn't capable of bringing back the physical pains of that time. But Hane was both wearing the sun badge that allowed him to live, and was in the Angel king's presence. Even the world of Dreams couldn't alter Hane's immortality, surely. Hane turned and blocked the attacks of his two old friends, who seemed unphased by their damage. He caught sight of two more that Mitasu created, predicting her to simply send his other friends into the fight as well. But the real outcome was much different. They were his old friends, but not how Hane remembered them. They were old, very old. They, on the outside, were like how Hane felt on the inside. And it hit Hane hard to think about what kind of life he would have had, with his friends remaining mortal. Hane shook away the feelings, knowing that beyond the pain inside of seeing his friends like this, Hane still needed to fight. He turned and pushed back the previous two, preparing his sword to face these older nightmares. He cut across each as speed was still on Hane's side. But even with his skill, fighting four old friends took a huge toll on Hane. On the outside, he was as calm as ever, but inside, this really was tearing at the old Angel. He couldn't end this with his eyes closed anymore, meaning he had to look in the eyes of his friends as he put them down. Hane tried convincing himself that this was best, that his friends would rather be killed than torment their friend like this. As Hane stabbed up into one of them, the nightmare cried out just like it was alive, looking into Hane's eyes with pain. Hane winced, looking away as his friend muttered his name, and removed his sword quickly, glaring up to Mitasu as one, uncontrollable tear left his eye.

Chester didn't know what to think of all that was happening, besides fear for everyone, both here, and in the others. Mitasu knew how to get into the minds of everyone, breaking them from within, Kaku and Ru, in separate ways, both just as deadly, she could tell both were shaken up from this. Even the unbreakable Hane, and that's what terrified Chester the most, that fact that this Demon could do such a thing, get so far into their mind to bring the past back to haunt them, and if she could do something so terrible here, what was everyone else going through, because she knew everyone had their demons they wished to hide. Now free from the spell, Chester rushed over to her brothers, checking over both to make sure they are okay. "What are we going to do? Mitasu sure knows how to torture the mind, even Hane look..." It would take a lot to find what they needed from this Demon, if they even made it that far... Mitasu didn't seem like the one to give away anything, unless it was on purpose. "Were going to need a plan, a way to deal with what she dishes out..." God forbid is Mitasu made Chester go through anything, it really would break her.

Kakushin didn't know if the feeling in his chest was relief that Hane put down Itamu, or grief. No matter what, the danger facing Kakushin was over now thanks to his guard, and Kakushin nodded to Hane with a slight smile. But Hane's entrance put him in Mitasu's attention, and the Demon witch decided to toy with Hane. She brought out young Angels, broken and battered. Whilst Kakushin didn't know Hane's past, respecting the old guy by never asking for it, he could only guess it had something to do with these Angels. Old friends of Hane, that seem to make the Angel guard suffer as he was forced to fight them. Kakushin watched for a bit, before fixing his leg. Itamu only dislocated it, so Kakushin was able to put it back quickly with a small burst of pain whilst he had the chance. Wincing over the pain as his leg went about fixing itself, Kaku looked up to Hane, seeing something impossible. Mitasu had broken Hane, and if she could do that, then no one was safe. Kakushin looked to Chester, nodding before getting up. They couldn't mess around like this anymore. There was a mission to do. "I don't know how we're going to make her talk, but..." Kakushin looked to Hane, before charging up a blast of light in his hand. He shot three times, burning a beam of light through the last three old friends still trying to attack Hane. "I know why we were asked to go in teams. Mitasu's clever, and can bring up things to hurt us. But I don't think she can bring up something that can hurt all of us at the same time. We've seen proof, I couldn't take down... Itamu, but Hane could. We should help each other face our nightmares." Kakushin suggested, slowly getting up, placing a hand on Chester's shoulder, and smiling down to Ru. "What might break one of us, is nothing but an enemy to the others."

Mitasu heard what the Angel said to the girl, and as his hope sunk in, Mitasu's laughs got louder as she looked to the people below, did they really not know her power? What she could do? She could get into their minds, and all had a similar care for people, for different reasons. She was Shinda's right hand woman for crying out loud, they had no idea. Jumping form the roof once her laughing calmed down, Mitasu disappeared for her to appear behind the Kakushin, "you have no idea what your up against." Quickly disappearing back so she was a good distance away from the others, Mitasu turned and cocked her head. "I love watching you break individually, but together, as you have so asked for will be much more joy and satisfying..." Moving her hand up, so that a figure began to form between them all, Mitasu wondered which one she should conjure up for them to fight? The beloved healer perhaps? Oh no, there was one who all had a connection to, and it just so happened to be an old friend of Mitasu herself, and oh how she would have fun with this, so much power resting in place. "Take them out for me would you Tenshi?"

The moment of weakness on Hane's face soon disappeared, he made sure to wipe away any trace of it. The only emotion left to display was hatred to Mitasu, and Hane just wanted her personally dealt with now. No more games or illusions for her to hide behind. But that wasn't going to happen right now. Hane prepared to put down his other friends, before all three illusions were destroyed by light magic. Hane looked to Kakushin, bowing his head to the King. They'd come along way into this, to a point where Hane knew he had no choice but to accept and respect Kaku for what he was. The guards gratitude to the king for ridding Hane of his nightmares was indescribable, so Hane simply said nothing. Instead, he dashed across to the others, standing before the two kings with intentions to protect them from any foe. Hane felt like he'd seen the worst scenario now, his old friends. Whatever the case was now, Hane felt like he'd be able to see past the illusion to at least defend his highness from any more injuries. Nodding to Kakushin, like all the others, he wasn't truly prepared for Mitasu to appear and disappear, nor for who she chose as their next opponent. Hane looked up to Tenshi, gritting his teeth. Well, she wouldn't be able to break him in the exact way his friends had, but this would be interesting indeed. "Your majesty, still think that plan will work?" Hane asked back to Kakushin.

Ru was glad for Hane's interference, not knowing if he would have been able to fight, but that was short lived when seeing Hane be targeted. If these people were as close to him as Itamu was to Kaku, then Rurushu feared for them all. Looking to Chester as she appeared, Ru had half a mind to get her out of here, knowing that if she was targeted, there would be no coming back, his sister had too much that she might face, all too much for her to bare. And he knew that, once seeing Hane break, because if this witch could break him, then no one else really stood a chance. Standing up after Kaku, Ru gave a nod, "That might..." Before getting time to finish though, Mitasu interrupted, and in seeing who she was making the others to fight, took back everything he was to say. Though Tenshi couldn't exactly break them, Ru didn't want to have to fight, and he was sure the others felt the same, which is likely what Mitasu wanted, so she could get them from behind. "You have to admit, Mitasu sure knows how to pick our enemy." Hey, Ru couldn't deny that fact, and despite not wanting to fight properly, he was curious as to what Tenshi could do... Because he had to wonder, would it be the Tenshi back when the witch knew her, hundreds of years ago, or then Tenshi they knew today?
