The One
Prologue:
She didn't know what made her do it. She saw the impending doom to her rival and all she could think about was how he would react. He would be sad, right? She wanted him to be happy, no matter what.
With tears running down her face, she leaped in front of her rival and took the hit for her. The pain was unbearable. She heard her name from many different directions…was it her name, or someone else's? She couldn't remember. All she knew was pain. With a sickening slurping sound, Naraku's tentacle pulled out of her body. Falling to her knees, she looked up to make sure she was unharmed.
"Why? Why would you do such a thing?"
The voice sounded like it was underwater…wait, was she underwater? Why did she feel like she was drowning? She couldn't breathe. What was she doing, again? Oh yeah, her.
"He…would be…sad…if you died," she managed to whisper. The agonizing pain coursing through her body was white hot and made her vision dim and waver. The woman crouched down in front of her, amazement in her gaze.
She didn't know how much time passed…seconds, minutes, hours. Her whole world was pain, she couldn't remember anything else. I didn't realize that dying felt like this, she thought. Whenever she imagined her death it never hurt this much…
With a soft exhalation, she feel forward onto the woman. The battle raged on below them, no one else able to come to their aid. No one else realizing the death of their comrade.
