Chapter Six
"What the hell are you doing here?" Kusanagi asked, with fury crackling in his voice.
Zahi grinned wickedly and then kissed Momiji's cheek. "I have more right to be here then you."
Kusanagi got ready to attack him, but Zahi blocked him with a surge of wind. Kusanagi fell to the floor.
"Momiji…" Zahi whispered and then put two fingers on her forehead. "Say goodbye to all your memories, and turn to the Arigami." A blue light shot from her forehead and grasped onto his fingers, making swirls of blue clouds encircling his hand.
"No!" Kusanagi shouted standing up. "Leave her alone!"
"Kusanagi don't start with me, or I'll hurt you in ways you never felt possible." Zahi shouted.
"Why do you think I'll let you do that?" Kusanagi asked with a laugh.
"Because, I have something you desire. Something you yearn for." Zahi replied, and then smiled wickedly.
Kusanagi crossed his arms. "And what exactly is that?"
"Momiji." He replied and then stroked her cheek with his fingers. Kusanagi fumed, because he knew that Zahi was right. "You would do anything for this girl. You would even risk your life for her."
"I have to." He replied. "I have to protect her, because she is the Kushinada."
"Then why don't you protect her now?" Zahi asked, and then stood up. A green ball of light twirled in his hand. He got ready to blast it at her. "Protect her, Kusanagi!"
"If I do you'll kill her." Kusanagi replied. "But then if you do kill her the Arigami will die, so I don't see why you would kill yourself."
"Yeah, but either way she will never remember you." He said and then pulled out a vial filed with a blue mist. "Her memories lie with in this bottle, and by tomorrow she won't have any memories left to loose. Then she will be easy prey for the Arigami, and it will make it easier for us to turn the Kushinada against Japan. Just like what we did with Kaede."
"But you are forgetting that Kaede never really liked the Japan we have today, and at the end Japan stayed the same with Momiji's help. But Momiji does, and somewhere deep inside her heart she'll remember." Kusanagi said.
"I doubt it. Just like how I doubt you will be alive in the morning." Zahi replied and then shot a green bolt of electricity at Kusanagi. But he jumped out of the way, and landed on the other side of Momiji's bed. He tried to wake her up, but she wouldn't, it was like she was dead. "No matter how much you shake and call to her, she'll never wake up. She will only wake up when the sun fully rises at dawn."
"Then we have time to kill each other." Kusanagi said, and then charged at him. Zahi grinned and jumped out the window. Kusanagi flung to the window to see where he was, but he couldn't see him anymore, it is like he disappeared. "Damn it!" He shouted and then walked over to Momiji.
He shook her, but she didn't wake up. "Momiji!" He shouted, still there was no movement. He could feel his eyes burning with tears, as he yelled for her to wake up. He pretended to forget what Zahi said about her not waking up till the sun fully rises. He still shook her and yelled for her. It gave him reassurance that she was still alive.
Finally, he gave up and lied down beside her. He stared into her face. He wished he could wake up to her face every morning. But he could only dream of that. He closed his eyes and tried to fall asleep, but all he could think of was Zahi trying to turn her to the Arigami. He stayed there till he couldn't stand it that it was going to happen. He kissed Momiji on the cheek. "I'll be back soon to save you." He whispered then got off the bed. He looked back at her one more time and then jumped out the window.

Kusanagi ran through the deep forest in search of Zahi. He sensed the Arigami was very close. His adrenaline was pumping faster and faster and his heart raced with each breath he took. He didn't know where he was going, all he knew was that he was going to get there and quickly.
A while has past and he sun started to rise over the snow covered mountains. Soon Momiji would wake up and she won't know anything. Without knowing anything she would become easy prey for the Arigami. And that made Kusanagi move faster and faster. And soon enough he came to a stop when he saw a few figures moving around in the brush. He jumped to the ground and peered through the leaves and branches.
He saw people gathered around a blue fire, they all wore a brown wool cloak with a hood that covered their faces. The smoke flowed by him and made him cough. The unusual thing about the smoke is that it felt cold and had a different smell to it, unlike normal fires. One of the guys must have heard him because he turned to the bushes and yelled to Kusanagi. He jumped out in front of them, with his blades already raised from his arm.
"Well, well look who it is." One of the guys remarked and started to circle Kusanagi like a shark would circle its prey.
Kusanagi watched them closely, making sure he didn't miss any sudden moves. "Ok, freaks. Where's Zahi?" He asked, with fury.
"Don't worry about him, Kusanagi. You should worry about yourself." The one guy stated and charged at Kusanagi.
Kusanagi jumped out of the way and slashed him on the back with his blade. He then got ready to attack the other guy running up to him, but his foot got caught on a vine and he fell to the ground. The guys laughed and pinned him to the ground. They tied up his hands and his feet. Kusanagi tried to break free from their grasp, but the three of them together was stronger then him.
"Don't worry, Kusanagi. I promise we'll be nice to the Kushinada after she dies and then the whole world become full of plants." The guy snickered.
"If you hurt her I swear I'll kill you!" Kusanagi shouted.
"And how are you going to do that when you're pinned to the ground?" The guy asked and then laughed wickedly.
"I have my ways." Kusanagi remarked.
Kusanagi felt the coldness of the fire and he could feel it slowly sucking away his energy. He wished he could've been smarter and not have been so clumsy to let himself get caught. He slowly felt his body getting weaker and he felt dreary. "What is happing to me?" He asked himself as he slowly fell into a deep, dark sleep. Kusanagi lied there, restless, as the guys started to pick him up and then tied him to the tree, so he would awake to watch their ceremony of the Kushinada's sacrifice.
