Her body felt weak but she knew that she won't give in. not until Kyo came to get her. The hits she got from Nobunaga along with the pain she felt when he touched her scar left her body weak. She felt better when she was talking to Kyo but now she felt really isolated. Looking out the window, she noticed the sun had already set.
'What's taking you so long, Kyo', her eyes started drooping...'No. Kyo's not here yet...'
Waiting was painful. soon enough she heard shouts of alarm from below and lots of screams. Then she heard someone shout,
"She's at the top most floor, Kyo"
Relief filled her body as she heard footsteps coming towards her. She lost consciousness as the door blew apart.
"No nii-sama", Yuya shouted. She ran towards them and stood between them as a shield.
"I won't forgive you", she continued,"I can't let you hurt the person who is most precious to me. I won't forgive you ever, nii-sama"
Everyone was stunned.
"I tried to forgive Kyoshiro for what he did to you but I can't"
"Is that the truth, Yuya", Nozomu asked.
With hopeful look in her eyes, Yuya nodded,
"Kyo is the most precious person to me. Even though he's rough and difficult, I...", tears filled her eyes,"I owe my life to him. I trust him with all my heart...because...I love him..."
Yuya was woken up by a cold, blood chilling laugh. Then she realized how cold she was. Slowly, she opened her eyes and noticed Bontenmaru's back facing her. She lay on the ground. On a big stone. Sitting up she looked around and found the source of the laughter and froze. Nobunaga and Kyo were facing each other.
"No Kyo!"
Every one looked at her, except Kyo. As she tried to go to Kyo, she was stopped by Bontenmaru.
"Don't Yuya"
"Bu...?"
"So the old gang is back together?" Nobunaga said. "But not for long, I'm afraid" As he said, he drew out his sword. At the same time Kyo took out his. Smirking, Kyo said, "I'll kill you"
In a flash, they both moved so fast that only white light of the swords could be seen. Yuya just stared. Tears flowed down her cheeks. Bontenmaru touched her shoulder and said in a soft voice,
"Nothing will happen to him"
"I know. But why does he need to do all this?"
Stunned, because of what Yuya said, he said nothing. Then slowly he smiled and said,
"That's what we are good at. No one touches what is ours."
"I'm not a thing"
"Your his."
He got a glare for what he said.
"It's of no use, Kyo. I'm much stronger than before. No one has ever defeated me"
"There's always the first time"
"Kyo no...!"
"He won't listen to you"
"I had a feeling you'd say that. But I cant stop from trying."
"Why do you want him to stop. He's doing this for you"
"No he isn't"
"Yes he is"
"He just touched me. That is no reason for anyone to kill."
"He just didn't touch you, Yuya", Bon said in a quietly. Yuya didn't say anything. Staring at Kyo, she said in a small voice, "Nothing can be done about the past."
Surprised, Bon looked at her. 'Does she remember?' There was a sad look on her face.
Suddenly, there was a blast and everyone saw, in shock, Kyo flying back and fall on the ground with a huge thump. With out thinking, Yuya ran towards Kyo and helped him up,
"Stop all this...please..."
"You stupid fool. What are you doing. Get away from me"
"Don't", turning towards Nobunaga and speading her arms wide, she said, "Stop this fight please...I won't let you hurt Kyo..."
Susuke stood there, unable to move. It was as if he was reliving that horrible past again,
"No"
A cruel laughter echoed, as Nobunaga raised his sword, he said, "It seems like history repeats it self."
Before he could even move, Kyo slashed his arm. Blood spilled all around, and his scream reverberated in Yuya ears.
"Don't you dare even think about hurting her again", his voice sent chills down the spine.
Backing away, Nobunaga warned, "This isn't over yet..."
"No it isn't. It wont be till I kill you"
Kyo was just about to attack when,
"Kyo...please...no..."
He looked down at Yuya, who was holding his arm. She wasn't strong enough to stop him physically, but her ghostly white face and trembling lips was enough. Sheathing his sword, he picked her up. She dropped her head on his shoulder, burying her face in his hair.
Kyo looked at the spot where Nobunaga was moments ago, 'I'll get you. I'll kill you in such a way that no one will be able to find you again.'
Yuya sighed. Feeling weak and warm, she twirled a lock of his hair and whispered,
"Take me home"
