*SPOILER WARNING*

This takes place in the OVA around episode 3 where Nanami has decided to meet Tomoe's past self in order to find out what he was like/how to cure him of his curse. During this time Yukiji -the girl Nanami is pretending to be- is targeted for her/Nanami's beauty. In order to protect Yukiji she volunteers to essentially be bait for the multiple yokai and is attacked. From this point is my own interpretation of what I would have liked to have happened.

I don't own this: all credit go to original owners.

Nanami slumped against a tree as all control over her body surrendered to the poison running in her veins. She felt sick, light headed, shocked at the turn of events. She knew that Yukiji -herself- had caught the fancy of two yokai but never did she imagine that she'd end up like this, fully exposed to any danger that may come in her way.

A rustle in the woods caught her attention as a yokai dressed like a joker approached her. It came closer, clearly with the intent to kill. Nanami felt tears form in her eyes as her eyelids became heavy. Her vision blurred and a sense of dread washed over her.

I wonder if this is where I die. The thought caused her to choke up. Nanami didn't want to die. She had people to return to; to care for; to love. She had the two shrine god helpers, Mizuki, and…

Tomoe… His gorgeous face came to mind along with his fox-like features. She wanted to be by his side and take shelter from this storm. All she could do now was hope that she could one day see Tomoe again.

Her thoughts came to a halt when a shrill of pain rippled through the air and ended with a thud. With all her strength she opened her eyes. There he was. The man that she had hopelessly fallen head over heels for: Tomoe.

He stood over the other yokai with his bloodied sword by his side. His robes of purple and red swayed by his side and his long, white hair ruffled in the light breeze. The way he stood asserted dominance, demanded anyone or anything nearby to bow down to him.

"My bad, Kirakaburi," he said with an amused smile, "That woman is mine." At his sudden appearance Nanami felt her worries melt away. There was her protector, her trusted familiar there to save her.

"What are you scheming fox?" said Kirakaburi. The yokai on the floor had pushed himself up, visibly angry with Tomoe for stealing his prey.

"Are you going to disobey Akura-ou-sama?" Tomoe's smirk disappeared and was replaced with a stern look.

"I'm not his underling. Don't group me with you bastards." With that Tomoe went to Nanami. He reached out his hand and grabbed her by the shoulders and with a tug she was inches away from his face. A devilish grin appeared on his face as Nanami was taken by surprise at the sudden forceful grip.

"I finally caught you," purred Tomoe, "Now, how should I end your life?" The sense of danger returned to Nanami. She had forgotten that this was the Tomoe of the past, not of the one she knew. This was the ruthless yokai that laid waste to hundreds of villages and enjoyed the thrills of killing.

As that went through her head Tomoe bent down and grabbed her by the waist and effortlessly flung her over his shoulder. There she dangled while Tomoe kept a firm grip on her butt. Nanami wasn't pleased with the sudden intrusion of her personal space, but there was a part of her that welcomed it. Somewhere, deep inside her, even with all the problems that arose during this time, made her excited.
