There was a strong gust of wind, almost blowing them off their feet. As sudden as it started, the wind stopped blowing. A thick wall of fog starts to gather around Yukina and Sesshou.
YWhat's happening? I cannot sense anything beyond the fog. It is as if we are cut off from the outside world. An arrow encircled by golden light, sliced through the thick fog, towards Sesshou.
Y: "Sesshoumaru!!"
[SLOW MOTION]
Yukina runs towards Sesshou just as he turns his head to see why she is shouting. Yukina throws herself in front of Sesshou just in time and the golden arrow pierced through her heart.
S: "Yukina!!!!" Sesshou managed to say as Yukina collapses to the ground. Sesshou caught a movement from the corner of his eye and took off after the assailant. Laughter echoed through the forest.
" Hahahaha…."
Naraku( as usual in his thick, furry bear costume) is perched on a tree above Sesshou.
"Hahahaha….how does it feel to see your friend injured? She will die for sure…have become quite taken by her aren't you? The fiery arrow is the legendary weapon used in killing ice demons. She will be devoured by fire if the wound is not treated . But I have the antidote. If you will help me find the remaining pieces of the shikon-no-tama, the antidote is yours. Do consider this carefully…." Naraku's voice trails off as he gets away on kagura's feather.
{Author's note: The real naraku, not one of those wooden voodoo dolls, showed up( which is very rare) therefore he flew away instead of getting sliced up yet again.
Sesshou picked up the unconscious Yukina and headed back to the camp.
S This woman…she sacrificed her life to save me….but why?
{Author's note: Well at this note, all readers should have guessed that Yukina has fallen in love with Sesshou but Sesshou, as all of you know, isn't the brightest guy around when it comes to situations involving relationships.}
The impact, the incident had on Sesshou is very great. He has never thought that someone will sacrifice her life for him, much less a half-demon whom he has just known. He had always been alone.
