Chapter 10 – The Third Shard

Selena's Pov

What the...!

I stared at Shinyuu as he leaned away from me, watching me with his red eyes. I stepped back. My heart pounding as if I ran a hundred miles. I walked out of the room heat rising in my cheeks. I closed my door and hugged my knees against the door. I heart skipped a beat when Shinyuu called on the other side of the door.

"Selena, I'm sorry." He said.

I heard the front door slam open and Sayuri and Sora's shouts were heard along with screams from others. I opened the door to find a man with black hair and red eyes looming over us.

He looked at Shinyuu. "What are you doing? Kill the teenagers. But grab the blonde. She'll be good entertainment for tonight." He said.

Shinyuu narrowed his eyes and kicked the man out of the house. "Say that again and I'll send you sleeping!" He growled as he exited the house.

I ran out to find a few men lying on the ground either unconscious or dead, other men defending their families and women and children being taken away by men who all had black hair and red eyes.

"They appeared out of nowhere and started attacking and raiding homes." Sora said.

I turned to him and gasped.

Sora was holding his side and Sayuri was helping him stand.

I narrowed my eyes. "Stay in the house." I said.

"Selena! The shard is very close!" Mokona said.

I nodded as I waved my hand. I sent streams of fire at the men.

"Shinyuu!" Mokona jumped.

I turned to see him fighting a man.

"What's wrong with you soldier! Have you gone mad?" The Kirian asked.

"I'm not a soldier of yours." Shinyuu said and punched him in the head.

The man dropped to the ground unconscious.

A man on a horse rode up and kicked Shinyuu to the ground.

"Shinyuu!" I called.

The man looked at me and grabbed me. He made his horse back away from Shinyuu and placed a sword at my neck.

"Selena!" Shinyuu got up holding his bleeding head.

"I thought you two knew each other. Stand down soldier!" The man said.

"I don't work for anybody but two people." Shinyuu said.

"And who would that be?" The man asked.

"The rulers of my country, Kurogane and Tomoyo Youou." He said.

I stared at him.

"But you have red eyes and black hair just like us." The man said.

"Listen, bastard, I don't work for you so why don't you get your stupid sword away from Selena and get the hell out of here?" Shinyuu yelled. "Hama Ryuujin!" He slashed is sword.

'Idiot!' I thought as I hit the leader of the Kirian's hand away and hit the ground.

Shinyuu's attack hit the leader knocking him off his horse.

The horse shied in fear and ran off.

I stood up and looked at the leader to see him unconscious.

"You alright?" Shinyuu asked.

I punched him in the face and he looked at me dumbstruck. "Idiot where you trying to knock me out too? I was right there!" I yelled.

"I knew you were going to get yourself free." He yelled back.

I glared. "You're just so stupid sometimes!" I stood up and looked around. I held up my hand and a blue magic ring appeared in my hand. I threw it into the air and it grew larger covering the town.

Blue sparkles rained down and Kirians began to sway and drop to the ground in a deep sleep.

I sighed and walked towards Sora and Sayuri. I held my hand over Sora's side and a magic ring appeared. In a few seconds Sora let go and stood up straight.

"Thank you, Selena-san." Sora smiled.

I nodded.

"Here, Selena." Shinyuu said.

I turned to see him holding a purple shard. I felt my eyes droop and my vision go black.

Shinyuu's Pov

I watched as Selena heal Sora's side.

The Manjuu bun landed on my shoulder. "Selena's shard is on that man." The Manjuu said.

I looked at the leader and looked through his clothes. I smiled when my hand felt a shard. I pulled it out and examined it. I walked to Selena. "Here, Selena." I said.

Selena turned to me and looked at the shard. Her body relaxed and her eyes grew distant as she held up her amulet.

The shard returned to the amulet and I caught Selena before she fell to the ground.

"Nine more to go." Sayuri said.

"Mokona, we're done here." Sora said.

It nodded and sucked all of us in.
