They say "curiosity killed the cat" and in this case the little saying has a twist "curiosity almost killed the dog". And that's what would've happened to Sugimi, the great daiyoukia of the western lands, had the beautiful woman gaping at his sided not stopped him from running outside to see what all the commotion was about.

"what are you doing? You cant go out there!" she said as she graced his garments in both her hands, not wanting to use magic against him but ready if needed to.

"what are you talking about? I'm a diayoukia and they are just humans with a lot of paper in their hands, what are they going to do , smoke me to death when their ofudas catch on fire? Besides, they know about us, what's the problem "he said while emphasizing his dramatic death scene.

Midoriko only scowled at him in the darkness and prayed to the gods that her child be granted human intelligence and not unuyoukias. He took a step but was pulled back by his clothes also noting to himself that where she was touching them it was quite warm, but not the kind of warm he normally enjoyed.

His temper starting to rise, he turned fully around to face her so she would have to let him go. "Come on, out with it, your hiding something!"

"Are you crazy? You're not supposed to be here, leave beforethey find you"

Midoriko waited bit didn't get an immediate answer, in fact she didn't get any kind of and answer (at least not one worth mentioning) all she got from him was "huh?"

Okay, she was now officially dumbfounded. Sighing she repeated her last sentence thinking that he might have been too distracted by the villagers shouts to properly hear her.

"You......are......not.."

"I heard you the first time."

"supposed"

"wait I just want.."

"to ... be "

"to know why"

"here"

"you are not making sense, our lands have a truce, I have come to these parts many times and was never unwelcome, even here in this taijya village, what has changed? It couldn't be because we are going to have a child together, that's not a good enough reason for me!"

Having said his side without interruptions, he stopped and took in a long breath and folded his arms. She knew this stance well, he was now giving her permission to answer all of his questions.(how funny, can you picture this?)'

Midoriko didn't back down and if anything she felt a little insulted at the way he was acting. He was behaving as if her giving birth to a youkias baby was no big deal. But of course, he wasn't just any youkia and she want just any human and this baby wasn't going to be just ay half-demon baby.

And she was going to be in a lot of trouble if she didn't get rid of him and quick!

But what could she do? She couldn't lie to him, and ordering him to leave obviously wasn't working. 'Maybe, she thought' I should tell him everything I know about the situation, he acts like he doesn't know and it would be the right thing to do right now I suppose'.

However, she soon realized that she had used up all her time in ridding herself of the inuyoukia, which wasn't successful by the way. Both of their heads turned towards the door at the sound of the temple doors being beat on.

The diayoukia stiffened and stole a confused glance towards the priestess, she reeked. She reeked not of pride for her position as the most powerful woman around and she didn't smell of anger for the intrusion on 'her' temple. No, she reeked of fear, for the second time in one night. but he was now confused, why was she afraid of these humans, and why wasn't she stopping them form defiling a holy temple?

Unknowingly to him at the time his answer stole itself from her lips, ever to audible, but his demon senses caught it.

"He'll show me no mercy for this"

Sugimi dropped his fighting stance at the moment and stared at her in disbelief.

'who would she need mercy from?'

'was there actually someone besides him that she was afraid of?'

there was no time, she had to do something to get him out, so she did the only thing that she could think of at the moment. She was pregnant, yes.

She could damage herself or the baby, but it wouldn't kill her, HE would. HE had already turned everyone in surrounding villages against her. If the people of her taijyai village caught Sugimi in their temple in the middle of the night....

She didn't have time to think of things like that, they were bad enough now.

"Oi!, womaaaaannnn!!!!" he never got to finish his sentence as time seemed to stand still as he watched her grab his hand and pulled him around with tremendous force. He was in human form, but he was still a large person and she had used strength she shouldn't have been using. Using everything she had , she kept pulling and using a turning motion to swing him all the way around her and let him go letting him slam into the double doors that led out to the balcony on a cliff.

Any normal human would be just slammed into them, but he crashed right through them, only catching his balance as he hit the rail and grabbing a hold of it he stopped.

The rails he had been pushed against moaned and finally cracked under his weight. One step and he would've fell down into the misty abyss below. With a surprised and angry face, the powerful inuyoukia jerked his head up only to see the blinding lights of the priests bursting the temple doors open and the lone figure of a woman first kneeling on the floor clutching her belly then in a swift movement she was literally on her toes running towards him at what seemed to be youkia speed. Her breath coming in short pants and the pain from her abdomen muscles showing on her now pale face.

She didn't stop or even slow down, if anything she had sped up in order to reach him.

Instead of moving out of the dangerous position he was in, he unfocused his eyes off of her and refocused on something else that had caught his attention behind her. Sugimi gasped as he saw someone dressed in battle armor, not the taijya outfits normally worn, with a big spear and he was poised to shoot it, straight at the priestess who was now upon him.

She had only run a short distance but it seemed longer , but she was almost there' have to hurry, he's helpless if that holy spear touches him.' Raising her arms out in front of her, Midoriko placed her hands upon his chest....

But didn't stop running.

Instead she begged for her body to summon up all of her energy and with tears in her eyes, she reluctantly...

Pushed him. She knew it would take a lot to push a large and powerful youkia like himself over the rails, especially if he was resisting. She didn't think it could be done , but a glance at his face showed shock. He wasn't expecting her to push him off the side of the cliff, no matter what desperate situation she might be in. so much so that he wasn't even watching her. His eyes had been fixed on the human behind her closing the distance, which meant that as he got closer, he could clearly see his face.

He knew this one! And he was no human either! And he had just paid him a visit only moments before. Sugimi didn't know whether he should scream out for her to move out of the way of the spear or jump and attack this seemingly traitor before him and demand some answers. He didn't get to decide his next plan of action as he felt the priestess's hands on his chest. For a fleeting moment he thought that she was only escaping to run into his arms, but she applied pressure and she didn't show no signs of letting up.Shock took over his emotions as he lost his balance and began to fall , backwards. As a last minute instinct he reached out for her but only grabbed air as she skillfully dodged him. 'how could she do this?' but one last look at her face told him everything. She had tears in her eyes. She was crying. Was she that afraid that she felt that she was forced to take this kind of action? Why didn't she just tell him and let him handle things? Didn't she trust him at least that much? But then again, he had been holding out on her also.

'Bah! She could've just told me to leave and shed explain things later!'

the last things that he heard as he fell from the side of the cliff was cries and shouts from the villagers that had entered the temple.

"miko-sama, abunia!"

"yami te Midoriko-san!"

and the last words after that rang in not only his ears but they reached the very depths of his heart, it was a very distinct sound of flesh ripping and then he knew that she had been stabbed by the spear that was not expecting her actions and couldn't avoid her at such a close range.
