The sword was glinting from the sunlight, as red painted the floor - yes, bloodshed from people being killed. Screams and shouts were heard while there was a continuous slashed of blade meets the flesh, heads were rolling as they were cleaved from their body, limbs were cut as bone and muscles were seen protruding and throats were choking from their own pooling blood.

A man standing on their littered bodies, his blue eyes shining with bloodlust, a splatter of red, stained his dark blue kimono, not sparing his beautiful face, whilst, holding his sword on his right hand, walking away from the massacred scene. Stopping in front of a child - not, a woman like child, her black eyes void of emotion, wearing a white kimono, paired with geta for her dainty feet. Red lips beckoning him towards her, kneeling, she extended her tattooed arms - vulgar words were embedded upon her skin; to caress his face. Letting himself be seduced and welcome the warmth of her as she embraced him, such a wonderful man, she thought, purring pleasingly.

Turning his head on her level, caressing his soft lips while a hair width was left between them. Closing his eyes, his right arm let go of his sword, clinking on the ground, letting it bathe on red. The woman leaned forward to feel his lips, only, to be hindered, as the swooshed of an arrow was heard and embedded it towards the ground, feet apart from them.

Opening his eyelids slowly, while a snarl was heard. A stretch sound was heard as it was being pulled, thus, turning to see the commotion, and there she was, standing a meter away from them, on a high land. Her right arm was stretched to hold the bow in place, while the other was pulled back to hold the notched pointing at them, her unruly ebony hair swaying behind her back, while a similar blue color stared right back.

"Release him, Nora!"

"Why would I do that? He came to me willingly"

Stunned by the event, his blue eyes turn towards the woman in front of him. Assessing her carefully, her mouth was stretched in snide while a haughty expression painted her face, such a disgusting feature. He turned to the other, her stance was taut, while her expression was calm on her soft features, however, betrayed by the cold look upon her eyes. Looking for so long, he saw her open her pinky lips which was soft to look at.

"No, he did not, he was clouded by his emotion that he willingly came to hold your embrace. Knowingly, he will someday regret his choice, and thus, here I am, saving him from your faulty hope of pain free"

"Oh and what that may be, priestess?"

"Foolish spirit, I dare not answer your question. Release him, or you'll leave me with no choice"

Releasing an amount of energy, white light began to outline her body, while the tip of the arrow glowed. Hissing from the pain as her aura brushes upon her, Nora leaps away from him.

"I will come back for you"

Whispering towards him before, vanishing into thin air. His bangs covered his eyes, staggering on his feet, he picked up his sword, knuckles being stained as well. Hearing footsteps near him, turning around to see her, up close she was beautiful and warm. Her cladded body wore a white kosode paired with red hakama - red like everyone else.

"Are you going to help me?"

"Would you like me to?"

Blue met similar blue, waiting for his answer. She studied his features, sharp gaze looks upon her, face void of expression while red was painted all over his clothes and face.

"What is your name?"

"Yato"

"Is that your real name?"

Shaking his head. She turns her eyes over the place - bloodshed from people once again, nothing she can do about it anymore, before praying their souls to find peace and if ever, they might be able to get reincarnated and live peacefully. Turning her back on him, she walks away from the scene before a muttering stops her steps.

"Yaboku"

"What about you?"

Stepping forward, stretching his arm as if to reach for her, asking her name.

"Kagome"

Staying silent, while looking at her back, admiring the light accentuated her physique. Glancing back, she turns forward and asks once again.

"Would you like me to?"

"Yes"

"Then..."

Facing him once more, a spread of smile was seen upon her face. His eyes widening from the peaceful expression, being stunned by her warmth.

"Your wish... has been heard loud and clear, Yaboku!"
