Sesshomaru stared at the tiny hanyou in front of him. "Luna, are you sure you're alright?"
"Yeah, why?"
"Your hair is silver."
"Don't worry. It'll change back soon." As if a command, her platinum hair returned to the original raven color. The tips of her hair turned an bright pink. "You don't mind the pink tips, do you?"
"It looks just fine to me."
Luna pulled the much taller youkai into a passionate kiss. "I love you."
"I love you, too." He pulled her as close as he could with his one arm.
"You know... something's been bothering me for the longest time..."
"And what would that be?"
"This." Luna focused all of her energy and touched the stump where his arm used to be. With a great flash, a new arm appeared, fully functional and looking natural. "I didn't like what Yasha had done to you, and I studied how to fix it. It took me a long time to get it right, because I figured you didn't want a tentacle for an arm."
"Thank you," Sesshomaru whispered while cupping her cheek in his new hand and pulling her into a kiss.
"Merry Christmas, Sesshomaru."
His golden eyes brightened, then darkened a little. "But I didn't get you anything..."
"Just seeing you so happy is a good enough gift for me." Luna smiled at him.
"You know something? I never knew how sexy the pink-tipped hair made you..."
"Race you to the well?"
"Of course, my moon goddess." With that, both the youkai and the hanyou raced across Tokyo to get to the well so they could have some peace.
"Damn... Look at them run." Kagura watched as the two darted off. "You'd think they were on fire."
Lloyd just glared enviously at the disappearing figure of Sesshomaru. 'He doesn't deserve her... She's mine, God damn it!' He swiftly stood up and chased after the two.
"Lloyd!" Kagura's rage send her racing after him.
She got there the same time as Sesshomaru. The strong scent of Luna's blood greeted them as they stepped into the room with the well.
Luna was pinned to the wall by Lloyd and bleeding heavily. He was trying to tear through her clothing as fast as he could, but the weak hanyou was keeping him from it. "No... Lloyd... stop..." To Sesshomaru's dismay, she fainted.
"Heh, this is what you get for cheating on me, bitch." He punched the girl in the jaw and smirked as blood dripped from her mouth.
Fury enveloped Sesshomaru's senses as he flew down the stairs at the wingly. Both struggled as Kagura picked up the body and started healing her. "Luna... please wake up."
Several uneventful seconds passed as the shivering hanyou struggled to regain consciousness. Slowly, her pale eyelids parted to reveal her crystalline blue eyes.
"Luna! Come on! I know you're tougher than this! Wake up!"
"Kagura... I..."
"Just shut up and heal already!"
Luna's hand rose to Kagura's forehead. With a sharp gasp from Kagura, the hanyou's eyes closed again as Luna forced her soul into Kagura's body.
'Ow... crowded...'
'Who invited you?' Kagura shook with the odd chill that Luna's soul created.
'I tried to tell you. Anyway, we both know Sesshy isn't going to last long in this fight, so we gotta do something.'
'You doubt him that much?'
'No, I just know that Lloyd's as fast as me, and I'm faster than Sesshy. He can't even see the movements.' Both watched as Sesshomaru kept glancing around to try and locate the wingly. A spray of blood came from his back as Lloyd struck, then darted off before Sesshomaru could attack.
'You're right... but what can we do?'
'You'd be surprised. Just trust me.'
'Ok...' Kagura gave Luna complete control and tried to stay out of the way.
'Get your ass over here and help me, damn it!'
'Oh, sorry.' Kagura took back control over half of her body. 'This ok?'
'Yeah. First, duck!'
Kagura pulled her body to the floor just as Sesshomaru flew over her head. 'Ok, that's never a good thing...'
'Quick question, can you see what I'm seeing?'
'See what you're... What?' As soon as she asked, she saw Lloyd darting straight at her. 'Now what?'
'Kick, Windy, kick!' Luna mentally screeched at the owner of the body as Kagura put all of her strength into the attack.
Lloyd smacked into her foot, taking more damage from his own force than his. 'What. The fuck.. Was that?'
'Well, you know, I never really use my legs... I usually use a feather for travel.'
'I think you've got feathers in your brain! Now, strike before he does or he'll-' Luna was silenced by the wingly's fist hitting Kagura in the chest. As they both felt the wall smash against their heads, Luna barely finished. 'Do that...'
'Nice, smart one, now what?'
'Give me complete control... I think I have the solution.'
As Kagura obeyed, she felt all her muscles start burning with rage from Luna's spirit. 'Damn... Remind me never to make you angry again...'
A fierce snarl ripped from her chest as Luna took charge. Glaring red eyes searched out the wingly. "I know you're hiding... why don't you come out and face me?" A grin spread across her face as she added, "Unless you're not really the man you forced me to believe you were, all those centuries ago..."
Lloyd jumped out from behind the well. "Bitch, you're gonna die for saying that! You and all your little friends!"
'Grr... He's really pissing me off, Luna.'
'I got this. Just chill.' "Oh yeah? You think you're so macho that you can beat me down again? Nuh-uh. Ain't happening again. You ain't man enough to take on this woman, much less win, so back the fuck off before I rip your foot off and shove it into your own damn ass!"
Kagura stared at her in shock and disbelief. 'Wow... Go Luna!'
Lloyd darted behind her before she could react. 'Let's just see, love... because you can't get rid of me so easily...'
Luna stomped his foot with one leg and kicked back with the other. The sharp yelp and groan confirmed that she had hit her target. As Luna whipped around to face him, Lloyd was on the floor, pressing his legs together and trying to forget the pain. Sharp claws tore into his body as Luna relentlessly maimed the wingly.
Sesshomaru could only watch as what looked to be Kagura was tearing Lloyd to shreds. Panic gripped him as he couldn't find Luna. 'Oh gods no... Luna!' His heart almost stopped as he found her bleeding, unconscious body laying on the steps. Desperate to save her, his struggled to move his body until he was right beside her. "Luna... I'm sorry..." He pulled the tiny, still breathing body into his strong arms and sobbed into her hair.
As Luna finished slicing into Lloyd, she caught the scent of tears. Glancing over Kagura's shoulder, she noticed Sesshomaru was crying over her still mending body.
Sesshomaru looked up to see Kagura standing over him, reaching towards one dog ear on Luna's head. He noticed a wisp of silver pass between her hand and Luna's ear and then heard the low groan that meant Luna was awake. "Luna? Can you hear me?"
"Yes... barely..." Two crystalline blue eyes looked into his amber ones.
His hand lightly stroked her cheek and slid to her neck. Massaging it gently, he whispered into her ear, "Just rest... He won't hurt you again... I promise."
Slowly, the sparkling eyes closed and a soft snore filled the silence. Carefully, he stood up and carried her home.
Kagura swiftly followed him. 'Oh, no, you don't. You're not leaving me here.'
Kagura opened the door once they arrived. "Um... where are you going to set her?"
