-Temple-

As Idril slept, Kiosh and Xexion were training, they knew someone was gonna come for her, but didnt know who exactly.

"You know they are coming..." Xexion swung at Kiosh, Kiosh wasnt paying much attention but jumped to the side, his sword up to block.

"Yea I know, but still, we must do something...I still dont know why I lied to her like that, but she knows that deep in her heart she still loves him." Kiosh smirked then sent a kick to Xexion's head. Xexion moved to the side, putting up his arm to block the kick.

When they were done, they went to check on Idril, who was still sleeping like an angel.
"Your not gonna tell her are you...?" Kiosh asked, Xexion looked at Idril then shook his head.

"No im not...not until it's the right time..." Xexion walked out of the room.

An Inn-

"So Sano, what should we do? Attack head on, or do it stratigically?" Shinpachi asked the bigger of the group who was eating some soba noodles for dinner.

"I think we should listen to Susumu and think it through first, but then again, we've always been better at attacking head on." Sano said after finishing. Heisuke agreed.

"K..." Susumu didnt want to talk much, so he tried not to.

When they were done with dinner they headed out again. They knew it was a temple somewhere, so they tried to find the flashiest one. After about an hour or two, when it was about 10pm at night, they found it. Finally they had found it.
All the rage built up inside Susumu just went off, he couldnt think straight and he just ran inside the temple, his headband on, he ran into the part where he thought Idril would be and eventually found her. The rest was left up to Shinpachi, Sanosuke, and Heisuke.

"Idril!" Susumu yelled when he saw her sleeping. He thought she could have been dead but then again.
Opening her eyes for the first time since this morning, she looked at Susumu. Her heart was telling her to jump and make out with him, but her brain said different. Her body scooted back, her eyes in fear cause he was holding a kunai in his hand.
"S..susumu...?" She was scared cause she thought he was about to do something to her.

"Idril...it's me...it's okay, everything is alright." He said in a caring voice. He didnt want to hurt her, nor did he have an intention to.

"Susumu, they told me...they told me you only wanted my body...so you can toy with it..." Idril said, her arm was shaking in fear, she didnt want it to be true, but that is what she believed.

"What? You cant believe that, it's not true! Idril, you know it's not true!" Susumu yelled at her. This made Idril curl her legs up to her chest and cry into them. Susumu looked at her, she was pitaful, "Shhh, Idril it's okay..." He sat on the bed by her, and put his arms around her. This was a bad day, very bad. He didnt want to loose Idril like he did Ayumu.

"Susumu, I still love you, but..." She said then pulled out a kunai, slicing Susumu's arm. "I must do this" She jumped off of the bed, away from him. Susumu's eyes went blank as he stared at her, he didnt move, he didnt care what she did to him, only if she would be with him in the end.
Idril ran at him, slicing him everytime she got by him, first his arms, then his cheeks, then his stumach and then his legs. She went so fast, only he knew where she was at all times, but he didnt care what she did. He wanted her to be happy, if this is what it took for her to be that, then that is what he would have to endure for her.

When it looked like Idril was done, Susumu's body was covered in blood, and I mean covered, his shoulder's were sliced up so bad that the blood from them was drenching him, down his chest and back, to the floor. His body was just completely covered. His ninja suit was so sliced up, it could fall off any second, revealing all to see. Idril looked at him, first smirking at her work, then breaking down into a cry. "Susumy...im sorry...im soo sorry" She cried hard, she didnt know that she was doing it at the time, then realized it.

"I...Idril...it's okay...I...I..just want you to be happy..." Susumu could barly talk, he had 2 scratches on his lips that made it hurt when he talked, and a nik on his neck that made it even harder. He was in pain, but didnt want to show it. Trying to move, Susumu fell to his knees, wincing in the pain that came to it.

"Susumy! Please, dont move!" She ran to him, and put her arms around him, Susumu put his head on her shoulder, his body in so much pain now.
"Im sorry! I dont want to loose you! Your my everything! My whole being, your what I live for! I dont want you to go!" She cried into his hair, she didnt realize that when she did, Susumu had put his arms around her.

"Idril, I didnt want to loose you either, not like Ayumu...I dont want to feel that kind of pain...anymore..." He said, he didnt cry, but he felt he wanted to, he couldnt feel that emotional stress anymore. It was too hard on him.

They stayed like that for a bit, Susumu eventually falling asleep and Idril running here and there to help his wounds stop. She eventually helped him up onto the bed and watched him as he rested. He was now in some of her own ninja pants, thanks to god they fit him. He didnt have a shirt on so she could fix his wounds from there. His stumach looked like he commited seppuku 5 times, it was sliced so bad. There was one that looked exactly like Sano's then 1 on each side, one running slanted over his belly button and the seppuku scar (sano replica) and one across his chest. It looked like it hurt so much. Idril put some ointment on the wounds then put small wet rags ontop of them, she hoped he would be okay, he looked worse then when they first met, but it was her who was hurt, not him.

It didnt help that she did do this, but she didnt want to hurt him this bad, I mean, her emotions probably would have broke if she went on. She could have killed him. She's lost so much in her life, she didnt want to loose the one she loved, not again. She lost Hijikata when she left, but she wasnt going to loose Susumu. As she said, he was apart of her, and her, him. They were connected somehow.

"I love you, and always will, Susumu Yamazaki, inspecter of the Shinsengumi." She smiled and said softly, kissing him on the forehead.
