"Wow i have never felt so alive before, this world is so beautiful, Sousuke, please enjoy with me. Enjoy with me in our eternal walzt, before the midnight strike."

"I don't know what is happening but see you like this make everyone happy."

We keep on attack and Taurus Mask always lays his eyes on Sousuke, i guess something happen but anyone have their eyes lays on Sou like that only get one option. I will destroy them, i will drown them in despair as they face their worst fear exist in their life, this time i will be able to stand next to Sou and smile with him. Sou, your existence make my world shine so bright, it makes my mind become so clear, for the first time i can go all out with my purest emotion.

"Can you tell me what happend when i was gone, why that guy look at you like he is your sworn enemy, can you tell me anything ?"

"Well, i can say that i know some of his secret and now he try to beat the crap out of me to make me not speak about it."

"Oh isn't that a great sin but i will make him shine in the last radiance you don't need to worry about him anymore, knowing his secret is just a waste of time."

"(So I guess i am really tired now, can you take care of the rest.)"

"(Believe me, i can take care the rest put some faith into me alright, i got this.)"

"(I doubt that but you are the only hope now so i think i will let you take over this.)"

I felt myself again and now i can take the matter in my own hand, afterall, feeling the power of myself is better. A sword slowly formed in my hand, the glass pieces slowly move in my hand, the power i haven't felt for so long finally comeback to me. The feeling to walk on my own feet, to protect and fight with someone i have feeling for, this mirror can gather and reflect hope you know ?  The pieces of mirror shine bright in my hand, this time, i felt it, the feeling i lost because of the boredom of this world. But i must play fair, after all no one can handle the rule stand above all other rule, rule of reflection can allow a person to manifest their view and other view but it can manifest the world reflected in their eyes.

"Sou! Be careful. You have to look around and watch your surrounding more, one step wrong in wonderland can make you lose your way."

"Thank you Raku, you sure know the way around."

"This mirror can reflect the future you know that, but let's keep this as a secret."

When i am happy, an army is nothing but dust to me, how about all you start fighting each other. Now just dance like the way Alice walk in wonderland but no offense to admin Alice, i know all of you can see everything. All of the other challengers were defeated and on the stage only me, Sou and taurus mask.

"Not bad! Only us left in this ring!"

"Sou, take care of this i think i will rest for a while. When you tired just call me ok ?"

"I got it."

"I am afraid i must defeat you! What a sad fate! It's your loss! A masked hero can never let others see the identity that lies beneath!"

Really! This is so childish. This world is too revealing, you can't hide yourself forever, you can reveal your so i should back off, just let Sou teach him a lesson. His scared artifact, well, isn't it is interesting, the artifact reveal everything but he hiding himself. There is nothing can be more foggy, even your mask won't cover your reflection, your eyes and my mirror reflect your trueself. The battle have no meaning at all, Sou's rule of severe just stand above nearly all rule, Sou's swordmanship can easily defeat Taurus Mask. But he seem to called Sou like someone he known really well but well let's take him back, with the face like that nothing can be fine.

"Sorry to bother you, are you Sousuke Kyuseishu and Raku ? My name is Nomad, i have a client who wants to meet with you."

"Damn, you're cool!"

"What do they want from us ?"

"I don't know what to say but i will take that as a compliment. Anyway, my client asked me to bring you to him."

"Your client huh? I wonder who he is ?"

"The guild master. Now are you interested ? Now go with me."

Huh, so they are here huh ? How interesting, the admin is close to me so you think you can guide me to your dream, i guess my glass pieces will pierce your beautiful illusion. No they gone, walk in dream and go to another wonderland, what a shame.

"Your guess is here, boss. You should ask the manager to do these things instead of me."

"Thank you, Nomad."

"It's fine, i am your employee anyway but where is the manager ?"

"He's with the ranker."

Next thing just like fog i don't really care about it a lot, as long as this world still colorful in my eye. Other minor details aren't important, the important thing now is the fact that i sense a bigger thread, the sense of conflict and discord can cause another exception to happen. This world surround by rule and their own ranking. 

"Of course, we know of the one you desire to meet. But why do you seek him? If you want a fight, our attendant can prepare one for you."

"Just let us meet him, ginger."

"He is our friend."

"Heh... Such concern for a friend... Hahaha. Very well. That is commendable."

"Stop with that, there is nothing funny about it."

"Friend. Compatriot. Do the stong have any use for such words? The strong stand solitude. The weak exist only to curry favor with the strong. We, of the Ikebukuro Guild, are a gathering of the strong. However, we may have somewhat overestimated the berserker whom you speak of."

"Strong or weak, i don't take that as a way to judge the other. And what do you mean ?"

"That berserker is confined to the room he was given. He has lost battle after battle within the guild. One as weak as he must have used deceptive means to... Ah. Now we understand."

"Shut your pretty little mouth, why you have to make me lose my temper dear."

The glass pieces start to form inside my hand, my temper start to disappear, i need to calm down but anyone who dare to insult my friend will be punish with thousand fear in their own dream.

"Hold it right there. I'm sorry, but i must secure the safety of my client. If you two not wothdraw, I will have to discipline you!"

A blast of fire explode before me but my ability allow me not to get hurt but i have to protect Sou too, i can't let my friend die before me or anyone else. For the first time huh Hige, we can protect someone with our full power, eventhough our power may not be mature yet still we can protect the one we care about with it. The glass pieces form a barrier and cover both of us make the attack from Nomad become nothing but a minor problem but this attack.

"That should do it."

The spark of a flurry of strikes fly past, but Nomad suddenly comes to a halt. He cracks his shoulder and turns back to his client, Claude. He was just messing around, i was a fool, a joke in front of Sou.

"There we go. Was that to your satisfaction, boss? That was a tougher fight than i expected. Any longer, and it would've gotten serious."

"Very good! What we have here are unpolished gems! Such fortitude! Such severity! You have exceeded our expectations. How invigorating! We thank you for such a wonderful demonstration!"

"Oh, come on..."

"The boss just want to see we fight up close."

"Hahaha. You saw right through us. Well done, Nomad. You are a dependable guard."

"Don't give me that. You had no intention of hiding it in the first place. You were grinning ear to ear with that creepy smile. And to think you made that cheap taunt just to make my fight harder. I'm charging you extra for this!"

"We shall grant your request. We will tell Snow to see to it."

"I'll say this one more time... As your bodyguard, I'm a member of the berserkers by default. But I never agreed to be a tool for your entertainment. Make no mistake of that."

"You were quite wonderful! It was a brief but thrilling battle."

"You jest. Unlike the others here, I'm no battle junkie. To be honest, I can't keep up with your style. I have other goals. This happens to be a convenient means to that end."

"That said, Nomad, your lifelong pursuit of vengence is extremely similar to the life we Berserkers lead."

"Even if the result is the same, the motive is diffirent. I think that's important distinction."

"Such a waste. It is truly a waste, Nomad. In the end, the world is nothing but an ephemeral stage. Why not enjoy the battle and the vengency? It is such a waste not to. Yes..."

I felt sleepy already, the world is a stage please. This world is nothing but a perfect reflection of everyone desire. You can't keep the world to yourself, every reflection make this world colorful.

"Anyway, I'm sorry for attacking you earlier. Take it up with my idiot boss if you have a problem."

"Don't worry about it."

"Sousuke and Raku, allow us to welcome you once more. But start from today, only Sou will be the Rankers, Sousuke, you stand with the Berserkers, the chosen worthy of that name."

"But what about Raku ?"

"Don't worry, i will observe you. After all, we have to find Kengo but for now, lady and gentleman if you look into the glass you will be put into your greatest nightmare so allow me to take my depart."

I left the room but the piece of glass i left behind attach to Sou's clothes so i will be able to observe him. Now let's stay somewhere, the vision of an exception is going to happen and i must be able to stop it, there is no more time to waste. This time, i will not fall like last time.
