Kato looked very concerned. This was very sudden. He hadn't even gotten the chance to tell her the nature of the curse! They hadn't even left the room!

[color=#00FFFF]"Bwuh!?"[/color] His eyes went wide as she accosted his face. Soon he began to feel something... strange. Something very cold, as if ice was being drawn out of his veins from deep inside. It all came to a head with a sudden dim, violet glow. Spectral chains suddenly appeared all across his body, as if her touch had revealed them.

They seemed to strain and then, suddenly, one by one the links disconnected from one another. 

Wait, was this actually working?!

These thoughts were punctuated by a calamitous boom. The chains blew apart, sending anything nearby that wasn't nailed down flying. Papers, pencils, skirts, desks -- Sasha. The force was enough to send the sacred girl into a wall.

When the dust settled, it was a rather spectacular sight. Chain links hovered ominously, orbiting about the room. Standing in the middle of it all were two people. One was Kato, and the other a girl who shone like the sun and gave off an incredible pressure. It had been midday, but by comparison it might as well have been midnight before.

[color=#FFC200]"It... it worked?"[/color] The girl laughed giddily, staring at her own hands in awe. [color=#FFC200]"It finally wo-!"[/color]

And then with a startling rattle, the chain-links flew together, reforming themselves and then pulling shut, binding the two back together, and in one last flash it all vanished, leaving Kato there... alone once more.

[color=#00FFFF][i]"Oh..."[/i][/color] His face fell. Of course it hadn't worked.

It never did.

And then his eye flashed amber again and he flew over to Sasha, yanking her to her feet and grabbing her shoulders. There was an ecstatic  grin upon his face.

[color=#FFC200]"That was amazing! No one's ever come that close before!"[/color]
