Kuri hovered over Yuki's unconscious body.

"When will he wake?" Kuri asked.

"Patience." Reiko said, glowing green hands over him. "I think Yuki is deep in thought right now. That's why he can't wake up. He won't allow himself to; not until he has thought of a way to save you."

Kuri blushed. "Sadako isn't Yuki's responsibility!"

"Yuki is cursed too." Kyo said. "He's not about to let someone take your soul away. Not when he could save it."

"And I'm not about to leave him cursed forever!" Kuri snapped.

"Hey! Don't take this out on Kyo! He's trying to help." Reiko said. "You knew the risks when you undertook the vision quest. Stop acting like an untrained child!"

"Our time on Skye did not prepare us for this." Kuri touched Yuki's face. "A Warrior is wise and true. Emotions do not bend the will of the warrior. A Warrior has a heart of stone and a soul of purity."

"That's the Warrior's Oath on Master's Dojo." Kyo said. "How do you know it?"

"All disciplines of martial art originated at Skye." Reiko said. "When this is over I will take you. You can become the master of any discipline."

Kyo's eyes lit up eagerly.

Kuri's lips touched Yuki's head. "This will end. I promise you."

His eyes opened, and his lips met hers.
