After the two men went away, Ling Tian turned his attention to Esdeath, since she hasn't spoken a word till now.

When Ling Tian looked at Esdeath, he noticed that she was fidgeting like she was nervous or something, so he decided to speak up.

”Umm…Esdeath... are you ok? Also why are you holding me so tightly?” he asked her, Esdeath stood straight when she heard his voice and then slowly raised her head, Ling Tian was surprised when he saw her face with red tinted cheeks evidence that she was blushing. As Ling Tian looked at her he had to admit that she looked very cute and sexy at the same time, cute because when she blushed she looked so fragile which anyone who had ever fought her knew that wasn't true at all. Esdeath's beauty was highlighted even more because the moonlight made her light up and look like a beautiful blue haired angel. Maybe a slaughter angel with the bloodstains on her.

A few seconds of silence passed as both Esdeath and Ling Tian just stared at each other without saying a word.

Ling Tian was feeling very awkward. He would rather spent the whole day fighting than being in such a situation.

Trying to break the silence Ling Tian was about to say something, but Esdeath beat him to it, ” Say Rayne, I have something important to say to you.”

” I don't know how to say this, but from the moment I saw you and got to know about you, I keep on thinking about you. There is this strange yet wonderful feeling I feel when I think about you. To me, you feel like everything.”

” I love you. I want to be together with you.”

” I…” Ling Tian didn't know what to say. This was too sudden that he never thought of such a possibility. He of course wouldn't reject such a beautiful girl. But he didn't understand why she would fall for him , that too at such a short time. He was about say something, only to be halted by the soft press of her finger and the sweet whisper of her voice.

” I know.” Esdeath said while hiding a bitter feeling.

” That's not it!” Ling Tian said hastily.

” ?!” Esdeath was surprised.

” It's just.... Why?” Ling Tian asked.

” Why?” Esdeath repeated.

” We haven't even known each other for even a few days. So why?” Ling Tian asked.

Esdeath smiled when she heard Ling Tian's words.

She reached out for him, touching both sides of his face with her hands. Esdeath closed her eyes and placed a passionate kiss on Ling Tian's lips.

Their lips separated after a few seconds and Esdeath stared at Ling Tian and said, ” Do you need a reason to love someone?”

Ling Tian's eyes widened as a memory resurfaced in his mind.

....

” Sister, why do you love me and the others?” A little boy asked.

A beautiful woman in a nun's clothes looked at the boy with a kind and gentle smile and said, ” Who said you need a reason to love someone?”

....

” .... I guess you don't...?” Ling Tian said.

” There you have it. Now what's your answer?” Being the type of woman she is, Esdeath got straight to the point without wasting time.

” Well... I'm a guy who's ill at ease, and knows only... how to fight. I probably won't be able to always stay next to you.... and would run of to gain more strength... But I do know that I'll give it my all and do whatever it takes to protect my close ones.” Ling Tian said then extended his hand to Esdeath.

” If you still want to stay with me, then..... I'll do everything I can to make you happy.” Ling Tian said with a gentle expression.

Esdeath hugged Ling Tian and said, ” If you stay by my side, that's all I need.”

Ling Tian leaned his face closer to Esdeath and gave her a kiss right on the lips, this caused her to widen her eyes in complete shock, however that only lasted for a few moments before she started kissing him back. After a few seconds they broke the kiss, only a string of saliva connecting their lips, and placed their foreheads together they stared into each others eyes.

” I honestly don't understand love. But.... if what I'm feeling for you right now is love, then.... this feeling is not bad, in fact, I might get addicted to this.” Ling Tian said with a smile.

Esdeath's eyes started getting misty and a mysterious feeling enveloped her as her body started heating up.

” Ummm... You really stand up to your reputation as one of the weird women I know of, don't you?” Ling Tian asked wryly.

” ??” Esdeath was confused as she was still in a dazed state.

” This is.... a rather bizarre location to make a love confession, don't you think?” Ling Tian said as he looked around with a wry smile.

Esdeath looked around and saw the countless monster beasts corpses and the place was like it came right out of hell.
