Aku took Lady Aiko through the forest of dreams to his small cabin deep in the wood.When they arived Aku placed Aiko into some rustic old shackles against the wall. Little did Aku know that Yukio was hot on his trail.

"Ppplease...ttell me what you are to do with me.' Aiko weeped.

"Well my lovely lady, first I will take your newley wed virginity, then I will make you my queen, the Queen of Blades.Once you are no longer pure, Yukio wouldn't want you so you will be mine for eternity on." He smirked seductively as he began to remove the scared prisoner's clothing.

Just as Aku began to remove her dress, Yukio burst in, and with a jerk of shock, Aku ripped Aiko's dress.

"YUKIO! How did thee find me?!"

"Give me my woman and I will let you off with a light beating."

"Oh you mean, my to be queen?"

Yukio drew his sword and began to close in on Aku. With one swift movement Yukio began slashing at Aku's throught,

"No one touches my woman."

"You mean like this?" Aku grabed at Aiko's breasts.

"You perverted Bastard! Yukio save me!"

Aku and Yukio dooled on sword to sword, each man's life in the other's hands.

Yukio knocked his opponent's sword to the floor.

"Now Aku, I will do what should have already been done."

Yukio spoke swiftly as his sword took Aku's last breath, and with that his head was upon the floor.

"YUKIO!"

Aiko began to struggle as Yukio ran to his beloved and unchained her.

As she was unchained, she fell to the floor weakly, but Yukio quickly caught her and carried her to his horse.

"My sweet flower, I thought I almost lost you" He felt a warm stream of tears roll down his cheeks as he kissed Aiko's cheek and placed her on the horse.

Hours later Aiko awoke in bed with Yukio seated next to her, fallen asleep from exauhstion.

"Oh Yukio, you...you saved my life." She got out of bed and placed a blanket over her sweet knight's body and went back to bed.Yukio had slowley woken and crawled into bed with Aiko, holding her in his arms and kissing her.

"Sleep very soundly my sweet little Aiko."

He began to sing to her as he played with her hair.Soon the brave worrior found himself tiring and falling asleep. Lord Chou poked his head in the door to find the two lovers sleeping arm in arm,safe and solemn. As Aiko slept she tossed and turned nervously. Finaly she awoke in a cold sweat screaming,

"YUKIO!" She took a deep breath and turned to see her Juraian Knight at her side, keeping her safe from harm.She settled back down but feared sleeping any longer.

She got up quietly and went to the balconey, to gaze at the moon. Yukio opend one eye and watched his love for a moment... Aiko began to cry lightly, whispering to herself.

"Oh Yukio I was so afraid that I was to be killed." Little did she know Yukio was behind her as he placed his hand upon her shoulder.

"I know Aiko I was scared too"

She sighed,

"Oh Yukio" She spoke as she turned to him and wraped her arms around his broad shoulders and he comforted her.

"Please lets go back and lay down again."

The two went back to the bed and Yukio calmed his fightened love down, playing with her hair and humming to her. He kissed her once more as she sliped into slumber and he closed his eyes,holding her for what seemed like an eternity.

"Boku Ai Anata Aiko-sama"
