After the fall

As the three landed in water, Itsuka immediately went back to his senses as he immediately grabbed both livi and ray as they were both unconscious out of the water.

As Itsuka managed to see land under the labyrinth, itsuka put's livi in a nearby rock crying as his best friend is already dead.

Itsuka look's at ray as he realized that he hitted his head on a rock underwater while falling, he quickly ran to him as he immediately perform 

cardiopulmonary resuscitation or Cpr to wake him up

But about a minute of the both not waking up, itsuka cries more thinking that both of his friend is already dead, as he himself lost hope of him surviving this deep at the labyrinth.

Ray then wakes up confuse, As Itsuka's face went bright thinking at least one of his friends survived but then, ray ask a question "Um where am I, who are you?" Itsuka slowly realized Ray had Amnesia after hitting his head on a rock underwater, as he hug him crying.

After that Itsuka looked at livi and look's down, cause he already know his not surviving, and that his already dead, As he stands up he offer his hand to Ray, for him to stand up.

Back in the palace its already midnight, the first princess entered Patricia's room, Patricia ask Mitsuri as she to is inside her room "why did you ordered them to kill him sister...?"

Mitsuri laughs to herself a little as she respond "Kill them?, What are you talking about?" Mitsuri smiles as she say's this as Patricia replied "your one sick monster, leave my f*cking room."

"Rude?, anyways the only reason why I did that because, I could tell you had a little liking to him, and not as a pawn, but Romantically you little b*tch, you already know royalty shouldn't be taking a liking to peasant's just like him"

"This is your first time taking a liking on someone romantically and it has to be with a peasant?, If this happens one More time I will not hesitate to report this to father." Mitsuri said as Patricia smiles and laughs to herself she then looked directly at mitsuri's soul then said "Papa's girl"

There was a silence as this irritated Mitsuri, as she she quickly leaved the room angrily as she slams the door close, Patricia looks at the window as the night sky wind pass her hair as the window was open.

Meanwhile Lea sharlily walks at the library at midnight, she then took the book that she and itsuka read together, back when he was still alive, she then looked where she and itsuka read this book, and that is right next by the window.

"Why everytime the moment I found someone I can have feelings for someone who has the same liking to books, they always leave, im sorry for you itsuka may you rest in peace." Lea says as tears fall from her eyes, as she smiles looking above at the night sky by the window"

Back in the labyrinth ray skyrish said to itsuka "im probably someone who is really close to you, since you're so worried about me, right?, and this also goes the same for that guy laying on the ground as well?"

Itsuka wipes his tear's and looked directly at ray and replied "dont worry about it, this is all my fault anyways", As Xialdre then exclaimed to himself ***"All of this that is happening right now is probably all caused by Mitsuri Mine the first princess, ill make sure to make her pay for this, but for now I gotta survive."***

Itsuka yagami buried the body of livi, after that him and ray explored this unexplored place depths of the Atoma Labyrinth As they are lost deep within this labyrinth Ray asks "Um hey where are we exactly, Itsuka".

"Were in the Atoma labyrinth, We probably fell in the deepest stage after being betrayed by our own comrades, but hey what can we do about it." Itsuka replied, as Ray said "well dont ask me" "I thought so to." Itsuka replied.

As they are walking together in this dark labyrinth, the stone below them cracked as they fall as the two scream thinking they are gonna die, until they landed to a room deeper in the labyrinth, and there itsuka see's death himself standing at the very end corner of this room.

As he look at the other side he see's life as death and life then started Walking towards him, he tries to block but he is already too late the both striked itsuka's heart and went inside his body as itsuka screams in pain, Ray tries to help him life's left hand was separated from her body as it then striked ray at the heart as well making them both scream as this two go through there vain, until finally it stopped.

Itsuka holds his chest and realized that he has no scar where death and life striked him, ray also realized to aswell, the two sweats hard after they experienced what just happened, as itsuka looks at his hand, He then happens to hear Ray's Voice exclaiming Are you okay in a very girlish voice.

As her voice becomes more girlish, his body changes to girlish like more body As itsuka realized this, he quickly pull's ray pants to confirm this, ray blushed and looked at the opposite way, As Itsuka yelled "WHAT THE F*CKING GOD IS GOING ON!!!, NOT ONLY THAT WE JUST GOT ATTACKED BY A LIFE AND DEATH BEINGS.

"WHAT ALSO HAPPEN TO YOUR SEX!!!, YOU EVEN DIDN'T BECAMED JUST A GIRL BUT A LOLI ASWELL, HOW ARE YOU F*CKING OKAY WITH THIS!!!?"

"im fi-fine with it I guess." Ray replied as Itsuka said to his thoughts ***"Sh*t I forgot that she just got amnesia, she doesn't even know what her gender is in the first place, f*ck! Dont tell me she will also act like a girl to from now on."***

Itsuka can see through Ray's clothes, as it was drip wet by her sweat, the both gets flatter as Itsuka backs away from her, he takes a seat in a nearby rock as he covers his face with his hands.

Ray tries to cover her body with her hands as she is embarrassed by how she is being stared at by Itsuka, Itsuka sigh as he can't think of a solution for this situation they are in right now.

As Itsuka comes back to his senses he stands up as ray clothes gets loose due to her new body size and shape as Itsuka exclaimed "Anyways what was that just now."

Then a person Identical to yagami showed up from behind them with a smile with teeth out, as itsuka and ray's attention went to him he spoked.

"Now if you may excuse me to your lovely time i am death part of the X'es beings, Life is currently unwell due to ray's interference in the transaction session, so now to heal her we need ray dead, so now, may i kill her?"

"F*ck you!, your not killing anybody. what do you mean interference anyways." Itsuka replied as Death replied back exclaiming "If your wondering why Ray's sex changed, it is due to the part he took the 20% of life which is a girl"

"which this makes him a her, unlike you who have 30% life you also had 50% death so your sex becomes more likely to become a boy, as your a boy anyways in the first place and that you had 50% Death who is a boy and life 30% Girl this put's your sex to no effect.

The reason why life can't show up is due the fact that her embodiment is splitted up by two people you and ray, and the only way to fix this is to kill the other one who holds part of her body.

"Your not killing him I Already lost so much people that i adore, and i dont want to lost even more anymore as I already LOST SO MUCH!" Itsuka said as death replied "Understand."

And there death disappeared into ashes, and again itsuka's heart hurted again as he's mind shambles he's emotion and expression change, as he said "So that's how to do it"

And there itsuka already now knows how to use Death X life to it's full potential, As itsuka then spoked "lets go"

As they go through this labyrinth the both stayed silent until they found a big door, itsuka pulled out a scythe in pure thin air then broke the door wide open, as what was inside immediately woke up.

It was the previous dragon lord, the dragon didn't hesitate to breathe out fire immediately at the both of them, as the two Easily dodge's the attack, Ray pulled out a staff in thin air, and immediately as well started firing Electro life bolts at the dragon, as she also know how to use her 20% LifeX to the fullest.

The dragon thought it will have no affect on her, until actually one hit the dragon making the dragon scream in pain, immediately the dragon started dodging the rest of her attacks, and also tries to fight back with red fire balls.

Itsuka jumped behind the dragon caughting it off gaurd as he slices the dragon in the neck making the dragon go wild, the dragon lord then transformed as the dragons hair turned white, eyes red and lightning all over the dragons body.

"BOTH OF YOU HUMANS DO NOT UNDERSTAND THAT YOU BOTH ARE FIGHTING A DRAGON LORD ITSELF!!!. " The dragon lord yelled as Itsuka replied back with "You also need to understand you are fighting DEATH ITSELF!!!" "LIES, RADIOACTIVE NUCLEAR BLAST!!!" The dragon lord yelled back.

"EXECUTION!!!" Itsuka yelled as Itsuka's hair turned violet as his scythe glows to a violet effect. The dragon lord hits itsuka directly as she thought's she already won, until she was caught into two pieces right in her jaws.

The dragon lord soul float as itsuka captures it still smiling saying "now do you believe me, or do you also want me to erase your soul into whole existance"

The dragon lord felt fear as Itsuka stares at him immensely, Death's presence came flowing as the dragon lord realized he is not lying as Itsuka grab her as a soul, as the dragon is already dead.

Itsuka then melted the entire body of the dragon into one orb and forced the soul of the dragon to eat it, As the dragon was resurrected by death he looks at Itsuka and ray as they go to the last door which where lead's to the exit.

But the dragon lord stop's them as the two look back the dragon lord transformed to its human form, which also looks like a young girl with a blonde hair and red eyes naked.

"I am Izayu Itadawashi please take me through your adventurer's" The dragon lord said as Itsuka calmy replied "how about No?"

"Instant rejection? Please take me with you I can approve that I can be a great use to you." The dragon lord said as Itsuka respond "hm? And why is that."

"Ive been sealed here for more than seven hundred years by the seven heroes please take me with you." Itsuka then coldly respond "I dont care how long you'ved been here and how long you shall stay, to be honest why did the seven heroes sealed you here anyways there must be a reason to it am i right?, At the same time i dont give a f*ck about your feelings since you're not someone who is close to me, even if you cry there in the floor I still wouldn't care."

Izayu tears as she tries to respond, but Itsuka talk over her exclaiming "You look like a mess right now, ray let's go!" As itsuka looks back and walk away he said to himself "If she doesn't stand up for herself ill never look back, having a weak mental health is weaker than does who are weak in physical."

"This is because mental health is the only way you can learn things and make decisions, Since the most heaviest things in life are not some type of item that is heavy or other things, the heaviest things in life is that you have to make decision, the reason why people get stressed and depressed is because they have to make decisions and they're not making just like right now, by how this dragon born is acting"

"PLEASE IM BEGGING YOU ILL BE LOYAL I PROMISE, ILL DO ANYTHING, I DONT WANT TO STAY HERE ANY LONGER, JUST KILL ME IF YOU DONT WANT TO BRING ME ALONG WITH YOU GUYS, ILL RATHER DIE THAN LIVE ANOTHER DAY IN THIS SH*TTY LABYRINTH SO PLEASE DONT LEAVE ME!"

Izayu replied.

She then ran at itsuka hugging him from behind saying again and again "please" crying

"why not kill yourself?" Itsuka respond to her as she respond back exclaiming "I cant kill myself my body Automatically heal by itself before i can!"

"So you've actually tried it?" Itsuka ask as the dragon lord replied "ye-yes"

Itsuka stared at Izayu's eyes, as both of their eyes locked in at each other, Itsuka saw the eyes of despair as Izayu saw the eyes of the one's who they call as above all.

Itsuka yagami smiles and hugged izayu back as now she cries on itsuka's chest as itsuka replied "dont cry now, I was just playing with you, your a dragon lord so dont cry, and of course ill take you with us"

"Then-then why did it took you to long to accept me." The dragon lord ask as Itsuka respond "I was testing you of how loyal you can be to me, this is because we've been betrayed before and I dont want it happening again, but now I officially trust you, for now so dont cry."

Izayu smiled and nod as she wipes her tears as she said "Ill never disapoint or betray you Master!"
