Hayato was obviously too blinded by his cold raging bloodlust to see that Kideme only fired on him was just to make him stop this madness. She cared for Hayato immensely and that wouldn't change, but she also cared for Duke and valued both their lives, and hated that she'd had to resort to violence on her own end to make it stop. They were going to kill each other if she hadn't interfered, and she knew that a powerful water attack would have the stopping power to put them both on their asses. And that's exactly what it did.

However, something strange was happening with Duke and with Hayato being physically farther away from her, she looked to Duke with worry. "Huh?" She then saw that his eyes were bleeding and more blood was flooding from his mouth. "Duke!" She came running to his side, deactivating her barrier but in that moment, some giant glowing skeleton...thing...entity...it exploded from Deucalion and she stumbled back out of fright. "What.....happened?" She hit the water with a splash as she thought this carnation from Deucalion was about to kill her and Hayato. Instinctively, Kideme got up and ran to Hayato's side, but as the last final shockwave rippled outward, the thing vanished and Kideme raced to Duke's side now. However, it seemed that Hayato had other plans and choke-hoisted Duke, who had already been knocked out, and it was a truly terrifying sight.

"Hayato NO!!!" Kideme sprinted into a body flicker and bum rushed Hayato, tackling him and grabbing him tight around the hips to peel him off Duke and with a hard yank of her torso, brought him down into the mud. Before he could even get up or grapple his way out of this, Kideme snaked her leg under his torso and around his waist to lock him into a tight triangle, hooking her left foot into her right thigh and squeezed him with over 300 pounds of pressure. At the same time, she wrapped an arm around his shoulders and jammed the elbow of her other arm into his spine and locked her hands together, keeping him firmly at her grasp as she shouted in his ear. "Stop this madness! Please, Hayato! I don't know what happened for Ayame to be involved, but on his behalf, I'm sorry...." She would maintain physical dominance against him until he either calmed down or tired himself out. Either way, when it happened, Kideme would let him go and help him to his feet.

By now they were both covered in mud, and Kideme ran over to Duke now, kneeling beside him, lightly touching his face, cradling his head in her hand. "Why....why did you-"

That was when Hayato spoke up to say  that he was leaving, and Kideme looked over at him with a frown. She then looked to Duke and leaned down to kiss his bruised forehead. "I'll be right back..." Gently unhanding Duke, Kideme jogged after Hayato to lightly grab his arm. "Hayato! Please....don't go. I know you're mad, and perfectly capable of protecting yourself, but please, I've been out here long enough to know the dangers that people that will impose on you as a lone traveler. And I'm sorry for hosing you down....just.....did you see yourself? You're a good person...and I don't want to lose you to that person I saw...."
