A/N: Seventh installment of 'cravings'.

'You don't want me anymore, do you!?' he had snarled at her fear stricken face, 'You are mine!'

She had cried while he had lost control, calm golden turning into furious crimson. She had begged him as his claws had lengthened into her very flesh, tearing her being apart, tearing the tattered remains of her trust to shreds.

The ghost of her rejection had made him drunk with rage, the pain of past injuries inundating his gentle nature... again...

She loved him so much, her protector, her soft-eared puppy, her husband.

So, there she was, back to her beloved clearing again, charred old wood hovering over her prone form like her mother would have if she had been there, bandaging her wounds.

The sound of silk on steel snapped her out of her self induced stupor, a silent white pillar gliding effortlessly through the forest. How the youkai could be so... consistent, yet ethereal, eluded her.

She could feel the disapproving frown that marred his perfect composure, but he said nothing, as usual, and disappeared behind a tree as if he had never even been there to begin with.

But he had been there, and she was grateful for it.
