Chapter 10
Suzuki woke up, noticing a warm object wrapped around her waist. She looked down, and saw what it was. It happens to be Sesshoumaru's tail! The young girl looked at the sleeping demon next to her, noticing how innocent and beautiful he looked when he's sleeping. A smile was then planted on the girl's face before she went back to sleep.

A noise was what woke the two lovers from their slumber. The noise sounded like angry people.
"Oh no," whispered Suzuki.
"What," asked Sesshoumaru.
"The villagers. They're here to kill you. I'll try to stall them, so that it'll buy us some time so that you can get away."
"No! I'm not leaving without you."
"I don't like this more than you do. But, please, just trust me, I know what I'm doing."
The demon cupped her face, and the young witch gently, yet firmly, grabbed his wrists.
"Please, just go. I don't want you to get hurt," begged the young girl. The demon nodded, and started to put his robes on (same goes with Suzuki). With his robes on, he gave Suzuki a final kiss and hug before he left. Suzuki puts down the barrier, and goes out to face the angry mob.

"Get out of the way girl! We don't want you! It's your demon boyfriend that we want," retorted one of the villagers.
"If you want him, you have to get through me first," she answered back.
"We don't want to hurt you," came a voice. It belonged to Hotaru, the village priestess. She prepared her bow and arrow ( A.N.: sound familiar?), and aimed it at Suzuki, with the intention of only to scare her.
"Like I said before, you have to get through me." Hotaru held her weapon, and stared at the brave young girl in front of her. Silence overshowed them all for some time, before a villager got impatient. He pushed the young priestess aside, took her bow and arrow, and shot it at Suzuki.
"Goodbye, my love," whispered Suzuki before the arrow pierced through her skin, and killing her.

Sesshoumaru got out of the cave, and was hiding in a nearby tree. He was well hidden, but he wanted to see Suzuki one last time. What he saw wasn't what he expected to see. Suzuki stood at the entrance of the cave, protecting it with her life so that his will be sacrificed. He heard everything that was said. When the arrow was shot, he wanted to go down and protect her. But then, he remembered that Suzuki was doing this for him, and stopped. It hurt him to go and see Suzuki taking the full blow of the arrow, and seeing her die. With her body on the ground, the villagers went inside the cave to do their investigation. He saw the priestess pick up her body, so it may be cremated.
"Goodbye, my love. My Suzuki," he whispered before he left.
A.N.:
Well, there you have it. The end of the story. I find this really pitiful. I know that I picked the most challenging couple there is. But, all the reviews that I got, that's really PATHETIC. I got one review the last time I updated. Come one. I can't believe you. Well, I'm working on another story. Expect it to be up soon. Bye.
