If we were in another world,

If we were to change places in this war,

Would you still be by my side?

Or would death be from your friendly hand?

"Xerx-nii…?" Sharon said, her tone going shaky. She hadn't called him this in so long. She was all grown up now (believe it or not she was in her 20's) but now she was scared. Scared not only for herself, but for the man in front of her. Gil and Oz stared in shock at the scene before them while Alice and the Necromancer battled on. Gil called out to Break and was about to tackle him when Elliot, once again, lunged to block his way.

Break stepped forward, very slowly, as his eye burned an unnatural cloudy, angry red. He had completely lost control of his own body. He had stopped apologizing and was now just an empty shell completely under the Necromancer's control. Sharon was frozen in fear as he stopped about 3 feet away from her.

"Break please I….I…" Sharon started, as she made no attempt to raise arms against her servant….her friend.

Without a word Break roughly grabbed Sharon's arm and spun her around against him. In this position her back was to him, and his blade was firmly pressed against her throat. He grinned and moved his mouth closer to her ear.

"You, Rainsworth girl," Break spoke in a voice that was not his, "Are going to make… a very beautiful puppet."

Pulling his arm back, Break slashed and a scream was heard echoing throughout the whole area….

A male scream.

The Necromancer was on his knees and one by one his skeleton armies were starting to crumble and fall. Elliot included. The chain above the contractor's head was screaming in a high pitched unnaturally disturbing way and Break was standing frozen, panting against the still alive Sharon's body. Sharon was crying softly and Break started to tremble.

"You….y-you really believed I would kill her?" For a moment Sharon thought this hellish voice uttered from Break's mouth was still the Necromancer, but as he quickly let go of her and continued shaking she realized it was him. His eye was closed and he seemed to be looking at the ground, and his fist clenched white around his sword. He turned towards the necromancer and Gil couldn't help but shutter at the look on Break's face.

It was the most demonic, twisted thing Gil had ever seen. Hatred and evil was carved in Break's usually smiling face, and it was an expression Gil never wanted to see again. It almost made Break's past of being a vicious killer make sense.

"W-what are you d-doing to my chain?" The Necromancer's contractor said in horror, as he stared transfixed into Break's eye as he approached. Break raised his sword to the man's neck and kneeled down to meet him, face to hellish face.

"Exactly what I'm going to do to you," Break said through gritted teeth. He then delivered a slash to the man's face and he reeled back. Gil, Oz, Alice, and Sharon watched in motionless fear, from the contactor or Break, they didn't know. Sharon continued to cry as she hugged herself tightly.

Break grabbed the man's shirt collar and pulled him into standing position.

"I….am personally….going to kill you. I'm going to torture you until you WISH you were as dead as those people you controlled today. I am going to torture you, JUST LIKE YOU DID TO ME!" Break yelled in fury, as he made a deep slash in the man's right arm. He fell to the ground once again.

"GET UP!" Break said before kicking the man hard in the chest. No one dared to stop Break at this point. They had never seen something so outright scary from their friend. "I don't care if I'm dying! I don't care if you talked to the Will of Abyss! I don't CARE if you take my body as your vile puppet, BUT DON'T YOU DARE, DON'T YOU EVER HURT SHARON!" He then furiously began to deliver slashes to various points in the man's body. His chain had disappeared, probably dead by now. The contractor's cries of pain and fear echoed until they became mere whimpers.

"Death is too good for a man like you," Break said in disgust; as one more slash to the neck finished the man known as the Necromancer off. This was enough to finish off Break's extreme anger as well, and he sunk to the ground, head in hands.

Break was shaking once again, and odd shutters racked his body. Oz, Gil, and Alice carefully approached Break, still nervous about his previous outburst. Sharon stayed behind.

"Break…? Are you….are you ok?" Oz asked carefully, while Break gripped himself in a hug and bent his head to the ground.

"I almost hurt…I almost killed Sharon-sama with my own hands….I looked in her direction and felt the urge to kill….that was me…I did that…" Break said. His voice was cracked and broken, and only then did Oz realize that those weird racks in Break's body were sobs. He was crying.

Sharon realized this too and ran to Break's side.

"Xerx-nii I know it wasn't your fault it was…" she started before he began sobbing harder.

"No it was my fault! I said those things…I felt those…horrid things. I don't deserve to be by your side Miss Sharon! I don't deserve to serve you!" at this point Sharon smacked Break hard in the side with her paper fan and he gave a yelp. She kneeled down and tilted his head up, looking at him with eyes full of nothing but love and happiness.

"Don't you say such silly things. You are mine and I am yours. Even if this were another lifetime, or another world, I would always be by your side, and I know you'd do anything to protect me. She then helped him up and pulled him into a hug. "Now, let's get you home and cleaned up. We're going to have a hard time explaining this mess to Pandora headquarters tomorrow morning."

Wow! 3 chapters and we're done! I hoped you liked reading it because I know I enjoyed writing it. I have to get working on the other stories I have written now as well, so check them out too. Basically, The End.
