[Meanwhile]

Mizore was watching her land from Miyabi's home. He entered the room with a cup of hot tea and said.

Miyabi: This certainly is a lovely world. You appreciate it, I hope? So perfectly ordered. A rule of prophecy that lifts one above chaos and anxiety. A place of ideal form.

Mizore turned towards Miyabi and continued to listen.

Miyabi: How I love perfection. And I would give my heart and soul… To preserve this world's perfection.

Mizore: 'To preserve… Perfection? What's he babbling about…?!'

Miyabi slowly walked towards Mizore and layed an hand near the window while looking at the area around the house.

Miyabi: And since you are to be my wife… You must achieve perfection as well. To start with, get rid of that candy. I don't like it.

I understand those lollipops act as a refrigerant… That you suck on them to cool your body as a defence against the warmth of the outside world. But now that you're here to stay, you don't need them anymore.

Mizore slowly took the lollipop out from her mouth and looked at it.

Mizore: 'Don't need…? No…'

She started to remember her past with Gabriel and her friends, slowly shedding tears.

Mizore: 'They're a souvenir of my time with Gabriel and the others. These lollipops have become a part of me. How can I be with a man who… Won't let me hold on to my memories?'

Miyabi noticed her tears and turned towards her with a smile, Mizore was curious about what he was doing, but her thoughts were interrupted when Miyabi kissed her in the lips, it was just a simple touch between two pair of lips, not tongue or anything else, but it shocked Mizore.

Miyabi: ...Your lips… So cool... Have no fear… I won't be harsh, with you… Or your world.

Mizore started to cry in despair due to her first 'kiss' stolen from another man, she ran away from him and closed herself in her room, she got under her blanket and cried.

Mizore: 'Gabriel… Help me… Come here…'

Miyabi stood in the room and sighed.

Miyabi: That thing… We will see if you will or not forget about those kids…

[Tomorrow]

Gabriel, Moka, Tsukune and the others were at the temple, to celebrate the ceremony, Gabriel would not care much about the man who Mizore should marry, if it wasn't for the familiar signature he had, which was the same of that 'Thing' under Issa's castle.

So they made a plan to interrupt the ceremony and take Mizore back due to the little information that Gabriel gained about that thing during his stay at Moka's home.

Alucard, the first Shinso Vampire, and the strongest monster walking in the world, after Gabriel, he was a cruel creature that wants to wipe out the humans from the world for unknown reasons.

This was enough for Gabriel to take his ass out from the bed and rescue Mizore.

Right now Gabriel and the others were in front of a snow woman who was talking, but the most strange thing was that Gabriel and Tsukune were disguised as girls, since Gabriel had a kid's face even if he had almost 17 years, he really seemed a girl, which made him pissed off.


Snow Woman: Congratulations, your day has come, your turn to celebrate the ceremony of the flower offering. You have all reached the age of seventeen, from this day on… You join the ranks of adulthood.

Moka, Kokoa and Ruby walked towards a servant and said.

Moka: Excuse me… Could we… um…? We… Uh… Really have to go to the bathroom…

The woman, dumbfounded, took them to the nearest bathroom.

Servant: Excuse me?! In the middle of the ceremony?! You should have gone beforehand!

Moka: Sorry…

Servant: Girls these days…

Moka: ...But this was the only way, yesterday… Our friend got kidnapped.

Servant: What?!

Moka: Mizore Shirayuki, and the kidnapper is… The Snow Oracle.

Servant: W-What are you…?

Moka: Excuse our bad manners, but…

Then Moka took out a gun from her dress and shot to the servant, it was a snow bullet so it didn't made lethal damage, it just made her fall unconscious.

Moka: We're here… To bring Mizore back!

[Meanwhile]

While the ceremony was going on, the people heard an explosion coming from the bathroom, panicking the women there.

Extras: What was that?!/ An explosion?!/ A prank…?

Then they heard gunshots.

Extras: Were those… Gunshots?!/ Terrorists…?/ Run!!

Snow woman: Silence! This is a sacred ceremony! Show some respect!

Meanwhile the rest of the group were together to talk.

Yukari: Sheesh, aren't they… Going a little overboard?

Gabriel: Do you remember the mission? Stealth is optional.

Kurumu: We're the only thing standing between Mizore and a lifetime of marriage to some creep!

Tsukune: Which means… It's time for us to get a move on!

Everyone nodded and started to run towards Mizore's room with Gabriel's En while Moka, Kokoa and Ruby attracted everyone's attention.

[later]

They were at the third floor, at the fourth one there was Mizore's room, where she currently is, they were running until Gabriel stopped and turned his head, everyone else followed his sight and found a man walking towards them.

Miyabi: Well… I wondered why anyone would attack the west wing… Quite a clever diversion… Don't be afraid. My name is Miyabi Fujisaki. Like you, I am an outsider here.

Gabriel: So you are the one who 'should' be Mizore's husband…

Kurumu, Moka, Tsukune and Yukari flinched at the revelation, while Miyabi smiled and said.

Miyabi: So, here to rescue Mizore? I'm sorry to say… Mizore will be… Unable to join you. You see, she… Belongs to a man now. The Snow Oracle has forged a union with a certain human organization in order to revive the land of the snow women.

Gabriel: 'Hostage…?!'

Miyabi: To secure that union… She has offered them a girl… A very powerful girl… As a hostage. I don't suppose I need to tell you her name…? Even if you reached her, she wouldn't come with you. The consequences to her people would be too disastrous.

Yukari: I th-thought this was just about an arranged marriage… You make it sound like the Oracle is… Using Mizore…

Gabriel was getting angry and said.

Gabriel: It is because she is exactly doing that… 'Son of a bitch…'

Kurumu, enraged, runned towards Miyabi and grabbed his collar.

Yukari: Kurumu!?

Kurumu: What else did you do to her…?!

But Miyabi stood silent, with a smile in his face.

Kurumu: Answer me… Scumbag!!

?: Kurumu… Don't… Please… Just go...

Then everyone looked towards the stairs and found Mizore, but she didn't emitted Youki, meaning that it was a ice clone.

Gabriel: Mizore?!

Gabriel frowned and slowly walked towards her while she looked at Gabriel with a smile and some tears.

Mizore: It's true, I'm part of the pact, I can't go back with you.

Gabriel had wide eyes from her words and said.

Gabriel: The fuck are you saying?

Mizore: I'm sorry… But my life… No longer belongs to me.

Gabriel: 'No…'

Mizore: Please… Go. Go and… Forget all about me…

Mizore started to falling apart, revealing to everyone else that it was just a ice doll.

Yukari: An ice doll… That's not Mizore! She sent an ice doll in her place!

Yukari started to cry, while Gabriel's anger was increasing, he hid it and tried to hold Mizore's hand, but she shattered, falling against Gabriel's body, who froze.

Yukari: She doesn't even want to… Say goodbye to us…?

Gabriel: 'So this is it… You know what you lose only when you really lost it… '

Miyabi: Heh… Heheh… AHAHAHAHA! Oh, how tragic. The sacrificial lamb. Honestly, if not for me… Would her life be of any value at all?

Gabriel flinched at Miyabi's words, while he continued to talk, unrestrained.

Miyabi: Other than as a hostage… She's utterly worthless. Worthless as a wife, that's for damned sure. I couldn't get more than a kiss out of her. Well, maybe with time… And pressure… I can break the recalcitrant little thing in.

Thump… Thump… Thump…

Everyone turned towards Gabriel, whose heartbeat was the only thing that made any sound now.

Thump.. Thump.. Thump.. Thump..

Gabriel: 'Unforgivable…'

Gabriel started to release a dark aura, the nen was flowing downwards, covering the stairs with a black and dark blue aura.

ThumpThumpThumpThumpThumpThump

Gabriel: ALUCARD!!!!!!

At this moment, Gabriel's nen exploded, making everyone fly away and crash against the walls while Miyabi was surprised and put his arms in front of his face while backing away, even if he used his Youki nothing changed, Gabriel was still overpowering him.
