Yoko Gets Hurt

That same night Nakada woke up smiling and she felt so warm and relaxed. She also noticed she was holding someone's hand and that there was someone breathing down her neck. She turned her head around and saw that she was holding Yoko's hand and he was sleeping behind her. She let go of his hand and turned all the way around to look at him. His face was close to hers but it wasn't that close and he looked sopeaceful as he slept. Nakada hadn't been able to get any sleep ever since she became Jennah's sleeping partner again. She kept on blaming it on her for always taking the covers, elbowing her, taking up the whole bed, and/or kicking her. Most of the time it was, but she was also sort of cold and she wanted someone to…she stopped thinking there knowing it was crazy that he would never really care about her that way.

She sighed and wiped a few hairs away from his face and went to the bathroom to change cloths. When she was done she saw it was still dark out so she figured she could take a quick nap since she was still feeling a bit tired and went to the living room and fell asleep on the couch.

A little while after she leftYoko woke up feeling a little cold. He opened his eyes and saw Nakada wasn't sleeping next to him. He sat up and his tail thumped against the bed a bit nervous and he sniffed the air and twitched his ears trying to find her. He went out of the room and into the living room and saw her lying on the couch in different cloths. He sighed and kneeled down at her side to look at her. She seemed all right but she didn't look at all happy. Her eyebrows were close together and her hands were clenched into fists.

He stroked the side of her head and she immediately relaxed and smiled. He looked at her surprised at the way she acted when he touched her but for some reason he smiled. Then he looked outside and saw it was dark out. I doubt there are any camps around here and it is still dark out so if I keep to the trees I should be safe. He stood up and walked out of the camper and jumped into a near by tree and went to where he thought he had seen the lights, I'll be quick and I won't be that long so the others will hardly know that I was gone. Besides I want to see what this new town looks like. In a matter of moments he was looking at the city lights and was amazed by them.

After a while Yoko was about to leave when he heard a scream not far from where he was. Curious he followed the scream and was at the edge of the woods when he saw a female teenager running away from a gang with twelve people in it. Now what is going on here? He thought as he sat on his branch and watched as the gang caught up with the teenager.

Hecould hear everything from up on the branch so he listened. The girl tripped and fell and she turned around, "Please don't hurt me!" she pleaded as they surrounded her.

"Oh don't worry pretty girl we won't hurt you. We just want to have some fun with you," said one of the boys as he took out a knife. He seemed to be the leader of the gang and Yoko was somewhat confused.

Why did he take out that knife? Why is the girl scared of him? Yoko then recognized that look in the female's eyes. It was the same look that the girls he had rapped had given him just before he had taken them. They want to rape her? He jumped down from the ground and went closer to see if he could do something.

Just as the leader was about to go at the girl Yoko made a tree root stick up and it tripped him. The girl rolled away from him and ran back into the city. The boys were about to follow her when he ran in front of them in his fox form growling at them. The gang stopped and looked at him, "Hey where did that fox come from?" asked a member of the gang.

"I don't know but it has four tails and he's huge!" said another. Yoko chuckled a bit then he heard something behind him and he jumped out of the way just as a big chain whip hit the spot where he was a second ago.

Yoko sniffed the air and he could smell alcohol, Oh great their drunk! he dodged another attack form another gang member only he had a metal pipe.

"Hey how much do you think this animal will be wroth at the zoo or as afur?"

"I don't know but we have to catch him first," Yoko couldn't believe what he was hearing as the gang surrounded him. He chuckled again and jumped high above them and went into the forest.

"Darn he got away! Did you see how high he jumped?" the voices began to fade as Yoko ran deeper into the forest.

When he thought he was far enough away he stopped and turned back into this demon form laughing a bit. Then he heard a twig snap and he turned around just as a branch hit him in the face. He stepped back, wiped his face and looked at his attacker. It was a male teenager and beside him the rest of his gang appeared of about twenty people.

"Hey guys what do you think we have here?" asked the one who had the branch and was leaning on it. He had a big smile on his face but he seemed to be a bit confused. Then Yoko saw why, his ears and tail were showing and he had moved then!

They also seemed to have seem him transform, "I don't know boss but I think it is a demon. I heard that demons can change into animals such as foxes like this one just did. And he has the ears of a fox and he also has a tail," the guy who had spoken walked up to the side of the "boss" with a chain wrapped around his hand. "His eyes are also weird as well…they look like golden orbs and his clothes are weird as well."

"Well now we can't have demons walking around freely in our woods now can we?" the boss smirked and before Yoko could think he was struck on the back with a metal pipe and he fell forward.

Damn it! Yoko was kneeling on the ground and his hands were clenched into fists. He got up and jumped into a tree but he heard aloud bang and he felt something go through his shoulder. Placing a hand over it he fell out of the tree but he landed on his feet glaring at the gang.

"Now, now don't run away your not dead yet," the leader was holding a gun and he was pointing it at Yoko. He felt something against his back and a sharp stinging pain came from it as he hissed in pain.

Back at the camper everyone had heard the gun shot and was up. Nakada couldn't find Yoko anywhere and then she felt a shiver run down his back. Her eyes widened as she saw Yoko badly injured with his clothes dirty and almost nothing but rags with a man was pointing a gun at him. Yoko looked at the gun and she saw that it was pointed to his heart and he closed his eyes as the man pulled the trigger and his cheststarted bleeding and he wasn't breathing. She shook her head and when she couldn't see the scene anymore she instantly ran out of the camper towards where the gunshot had come from.

Yoko was leaning against a tree still holding his shoulder with many other wounds and bruises from where he was hit, punched, and/or kicked. Then he saw the boss look at him and he smiled as he held up his gun and pointed it towards Yoko's heart. He closed his eyes and he heard the bang and flinched. But he didn't feel any kind of new pain. He opened his eyes and saw that Nakada had pushed the boss just in time and the bullet had missed him. She ran over to him kneeled down beside him and moved some of his dirty hair away from his face. His temple was bleeding and when she brushed her hand past it he flinched.

"Don't worry Yoko I'll help you," he looked at her and she smiled but for some reason he looked surprised.

"Well isn't this a pretty site,"she turned around and held Yoko close to her as she gently pushed his head to her the base of her neck and her hand placed on the side of his face stroking itand her other hand around the back of his shoulder. She watched the boss get up, "So pretty are you a demon as well?"she just glared at and didn't answer, "Well if you are then we are definitely going to have some fun to night," there was a big uproar from the gang and she let out a growl.

The boss looked at her and she spoke, "No I am not a demon but by the way you are treating him I would think you were the demon and not him," "No offence Yoko and we'll talk later on why you were out this late and so close to the town."

All of the boy's became silent, no one had ever said anything like that to their boss before…and lived to tell, "You…dare…to compare…me…TO HIM!" the boss yelled pointing a finger at Yoko, "You little bitch I'll kill you right now!"

He took out the gun and pointed it ather and he pulled the trigger, "Nakada LOOK OUT!" Yoko pushed her out of the way.

She was pushed to the ground and the bullet missed her and she laid sprawling on the ground. She lifted her head and looked towards Yoko. He was pressing a hand to his chest and his eyes were closed. She saw blood drip away from his hand, "He saved her while risking his own life," whispered a voice from the crowd. Nakada didn't hear it. Her eyes became all ice blue and the wind picked up around her. The moon shined above her and seemed to shine all of it's light on her as her hair grew to her waist and became all silver tinted blue colour like it always was when she went into her other forms. Her nails grew as well into claws and her cloths changed into a long silver blue dress with thin sleeves covering her arms. Her necklace that she always wore turned into a full moon pendant on a silver chain. She was also wearing full moon earrings and on her head there was a third of a moon.

She looked towards the gang and her ice blue eyes made them shiver uncontrollably as they she looked at every one of them. Her eyes widened and they were all thrown backwards by a huge gust of wind.

Near by the rest of the team heard the gang of boys yell not far from them and they ran towards them. When they got there they saw all the boys on the ground not dead but severely bruised and unconscious. They turned and saw Nakada back to normal holding Yoko to her with tears in her eyes. A hand was over his chest while her other was wrapped behind him holding his shoulder keeping him in a sitting position with his head against her shoulder. Her cloths were soaked in his blood as she held him but it looked like she didn't care. He was laid across her lap and he seemed to be still alive as he winced from the pain but he still seemed to be very weak. They walked over to where they were and Nakada clenched her fist as if she had something in it.

"It's all right Yoko don't worry it's out I got and it didn't even puncture your heart," she turned her hand around as she opened it showing a bullet in her blood covered hand. He looked at her and smiled as he raised his hand over hers and grasped it.

"It doesn't hurt that much Nakada don't worry about me," Nakada tightened her hold on him as if she was afraid he was going to fade away. He felt her grip tighten around his shoulder, "Don't worry Nakada I'm not going anywhere."

"Promise?"

"I promise," his hand tightened over hers reassuringly and he smiled. The tears that she had been holding back fell down her face and on to the wound on his chest. To everyone's surprise the wound started to heal.

Nakada smiled, "You are going to be all right Yoko," she leaned in closer to his mouth and some of her tears fell into it. He swallowed the tears and his wounds began to fade away to nothing.

He sat up getting off of her legs and looked at her, "You have changed a lot Nakada even your eyes have changed to ice blue and your hair has streaks of blue tinted silver," he gently touched her face and wiped away her tears. she smiled and closed her eyes, she was so tired. He wrapped his arm around her and pressed her head to his shoulder as he picked her up bridal style and carried her back to the camper.
