Yumoto gulped as he walked to where Kinshiro was at. Kinshiro had asked him to talk with him...about what? Yumoto didn't know.

Kinshiro looked up from his paper as Yumoto walked in. "Ah yes, heir to the throne of love, Prince Scarlet. I need to talk with you about something."

"Y-yes I know..."

"Scarlet, if you were to become the God of Love tomorrow, would you accept it?"

"W-what?! I-I don't know Aurite...I-I don't know why I'd become it so soon." Yumoto replied and Kinshiro looked down, "I-I didn't want to worry you...but we think Scarlet has awoken for a bad reason..."

"H-Huh?"

Later that day, Yumoto was sitting in the middle of the room Ibushi protected and sighed, "Ibu-chan-senpai...what'll happen if an-chan loses the title of God of Love...?"

"It's simple, Little One, then you become the next God of Love."

"B-but I don't wanna be the next one!"

"W-what?!" Akoya gasped out and Ibushi looked at him, "Little One, you're the successor to the throne!"

"But what if I get hurt or die?" Yumoto asked and Ibushi froze, "T-then...Battle Lover Cerulean gets it."

"Oh..."

"It's time for your lessons with Epinard." Ibushi told him and Yumoto walked away.

Ryuu looked at Io, "Hey Io, aren't you worried about Scarlet awakening?"

Io shook his head, "No, he needed his powers." Ryuu smiled, "I know...Yumoto used to be a damn brat growing up."

"Fluffhead wasn't that bad, my dear Vesta." Akoya's voice laughed and Ryuu growled, "Shut up Gero-kun!"

Io looked at the pink haired man and smiled, "Where is Yumoto anyway?"

"Where do you think?" Akoya asked and Io thought for a moment, "It's time for his lessons...so I'd say with Kinugawa-senpai."

Akoya nodded, "Bingo."

Io frowned, "He still hasn't seen Gora-san today has he?"

Akoya sighed sadly, "No...hey do you remember that time when Fluffhead was younger and went berserk after people kept bullying him...and we couldn't control him?"

Io looked down and Ryuu sighed, "Y-yes...he was out for days...I-I thought he was a goner..."

"Zaou-kun! We are not supposed to talk about that!" Kinshiro spoke sternly as he walked passed the three of them.

"Perlite brought it up!" Ryuu yelled and Kinshiro frowned, "Scarlet doesn't need to remember that...if he does...Arima says that the next time he has a fit like that...he...he might not make it."

"Look at the Little One!" A boy laughed and another replied "Little One, you're not a God!"

"Y-yes I am! B-Big Bro says so!" Yumoto yelled

"No you're not!" the first jeered, "When we're older, we'll be with your big brother instead!"

"No!" Yumoto screamed, "I WON'T LET YOU TAKE AN-CHAN!"

Ibushi was talking with Akoya as it happened...the ground began to shake and Akoya frowned, "An earthquake?"

"No...there's a strong energy in the air..."

"Huh...strange."

"Akoya...something's wrong...we need to find Yumoto."

Akoya nodded, "Of course!"

Atsushi along with Io were looking around for Yumoto, "Little One!" Atsushi yelled and Io frowned, "Yumoto!"

The two looked at each other as they felt the ground shaking...and Io gasped as he heard Yumoto screaming.

"Scarlet!" Atsushi yelled and Io gasped as there was a pink beam of light in the sky. "He must be that way!"

En and Ryuu were talking with Kinshiro when they felt the ground shaking and Kinshiro frowned, "Where is Scarlet this morning?"

"Um...outside, I think." Ryuu replied and Kinshiro frowned, "Something's wrong! At-chan!!" He yelled as he ran out and the others followed him.

Gora was talking with his bird partner, Hashibiro as it happened. Hashibiro froze, "Maximum Gorar...something is wrong with your brother."

"W-what?!"

"Hurry! He's outside!"

All eight of them met up to where the beam of light was coming from. Yumoto was screaming and crying words that were unable to be understood and Ibushi gasped as an older figure of him appeared in front of Yumoto, "You won't take my brother...you will never have him..." the figure growled and Ibushi gasped, "LITTLE ONE STOP!"

Akoya gasped at the figure of Yumoto, "I-Is that...?"

"Yes...the heir to the throne of Love...and the next God of Love...Battle Lover Scarlet." Kinshiro replied and Atsushi gasped as Scarlet turned to Yumoto.

"Don't be scared...I'm you." He smiled, "Please...calm down, you're too young to be me." He placed a hand on Yumoto's head. "It's okay...I...I mean you, will stop them from taking An-chan."

Scarlet touched his younger counterpart's forehead and disappeared. Gora watched as his little brother calmed down and his eyes fluttered shut.

"Little One!"

"Yumoto!"

En and Atsushi were outside with Yumoto and Yumoto smiled as he saw his brother and Hashibiro, "An-chan!" He giggled and when he went to run to his brother, an energy orb was shot in front of him, "Prince Scarlet!" En and Atsushi gasped and jumped in front of Yumoto.

Yumoto gasped out as the VEPPer jumped down in front of Gora, "AN-CHAN!" Yumoto screamed and Atsushi gasped, "You're not ready to fight them!"

"DON'T TAKE MY BROTHER!" Yumoto screamed and transformed.

"Io!" Ryuu gasped, "He transformed, you damn idiot! BACK DOWN!"

Yumoto froze as the VEPPer looked at him, "P-please don't take him!"

"How did you know that we were taking him?" Salty Sol growled and Io yelled, "He is the next God of Love, so he can tell what you're going to do!"

He then gasped as Yumoto began to have a look of pure terror on his face, "AN-CHAN!"

"RYUU! CALM HIM DOWN! HE'S GOING INTO THAT STATE AGAIN!" Io cried and Yumoto let out a scream and an energy field surrounded him.

Ibushi was walking with Akoya as the building began to shake, "Yu-Yumoto...?" Akoya asked and Ibushi nodded, "Let's go find him!" Then they disappeared.

The VEPPer watched in horror at Yumoto who began to scream, "AN-CHAN! You can't take him!!" He panicked, "An-chan! WHERE ARE YOU?!"

"LITTLE ONE!" Ibushi yelled and he appeared in front of him, "Little One, calm down!" He told him and Yumoto clutched at his head and then...it stopped...

"No...I won't let you...take him." Yumoto spoke in a deep voice and Kinshiro gasped,

"Scarlet! True God of Love, calm down!"

Scarlet growled, "I won't let them take my brother...Ultimate...Lo-"

"YUMOTO! STOP!" Gora yelled and Scarlet gasped, "A-An-chan...!"

"God of Love...please, you aren't needed yet."

"I-I'm sorry..." Scarlet whispered and Ibushi smiled. "Little One, it's okay. You're not ready yet for Scarlet to be the true God yet, alright?"

Scarlet then disappeared and left Yumoto back...and then his eyes fluttered shut.

Ibushi held the youngest in his arms and gasped, "Little One! YUMOTO! Wake up!" He yelled and then looked at the VEPPer, "Look at what you did..."

Kinshiro frowned, "He needs medical care...last time this happened...he didn't wake up for a few days..."

Gora watched as Yumoto's four guardian Battle Lovers picked him up and carried him off. The VEPPer growled and quickly teleported away.

The youngest was breathing heavily in his unconscious state and Hashibiro sighed, "Maximum Gorar...I hope that your brother wakes up soon from being unconscious...since last time...he...almost died."

Gora was just in shock...what would happen if his little brother never woke up again...?
