Kyo disengaged himself from yet another injured man, feeling dizzy from the amount of white magic he had exuded. Taking a deep breath, he straightened himself up as Dark and Aphrodite landed.

"How are you feeling?" he asked in a concerned voice after making his way over to the group. "Any information on the sick fucks who did this to you? Have you heard from Ivy?"

His tenuous link between Ivy and Aphrodite was the beating the two girls had handed to him and Dark under Balthazar's watchful eye. Their skill had inculcated in him a sense of respect to their prowess and in turn, he felt as if Aphrodite saw something in the two of them: perseverance. Although Aphrodite was now a larger part of his life due to the nature of her relationship with Dark, Ivy had always remained cold and distant. Regardless, he still found himself dealing with anxiety as he imagined the terrible ordeal she was probably going through now. Either that or she was already dead.
