In Issei's room, the two Isseis stare each other down.

The one in brown - the real Issei - says, "You're not me. You're not even a part of me, like my Shadow was. You broke up with Haruto so you could gallivant around, you viciously attacked my friends - you're the antithesis of my loyalty, what I am."

The one in black - the new Issei - answers, "That's right. And because of that, I'm much stronger than you will ever be. You're weak."

A laugh comes out of the real Issei's lips. "You're the weak one. And I won't allow you to hurt my friends any longer." Then he speaks in another language, and the words have power: "Erlösch."

"Wh-what?" The new Issei starts to fade. "You don't have any power! You can't use magic!"

"That's right, I can't. Even now, I'm copying off of what Tohsaka does. Erlösch." The real Issei smiles grimly. "But I've said it before that loyalty is the core of my being, my Origin. I can do anything if it's loyal enough. You have no Origin. What is your being supposed to be? Erlösch!"

Before the other Issei can answer, he disappears completely.

Issei collapses to the ground.

I love you to the depth and breadth and height my soul can reach.

[clockmaster.livejournal.com]

That sounds really gay!

[stripping.livejournal.com]

It's from a poem, and I mean it platonically.

[clockmaster.livejournal.com]

A gay poem.

[stripping.livejournal.com]

Shut up!

[clockmaster.livejournal.com]

Sorry... [He's tearing up.]

[stripping.livejournal.com]

No, no, I'm sorry. I can't do anything right.

[clockmaster.livejournal.com]

Come over and make it better.

[stripping.livejournal.com]

I can give you a hug?

[clockmaster.livejournal.com]

Really?

[stripping.livejournal.com]

Really really.

[clockmaster.livejournal.com]

Thank you!

Can we kiss later?

[stripping.livejournal.com]

No. I have a boyfriend.

[clockmaster.livejournal.com]

I can kiss him too.

[stripping.livejournal.com]

Ask him first.

[clockmaster.livejournal.com]

And if he says yes...?

[stripping.livejournal.com]

If he says yes, you can kiss the both of us.

[clockmaster.livejournal.com]

:>

[stripping.livejournal.com]

He won't say yes, I'm afraid.

[clockmaster.livejournal.com]

Why not?

[stripping.livejournal.com]

Threesomes are scary.

[clockmaster.livejournal.com]

Uhm...no theyre' actually kind of wet and messy but not scary if you do it right.

Plus, you and me did it before, with Akako,remember?

[stripping.livejournal.com]

Yes. I remember.

[clockmaster.livejournal.com]

So,......?

[stripping.livejournal.com]

Haruto will be scared by it.
