Chapter Six - Attack
"Yui, you ok?" Yui stopped walking to face the blonde ex-shogun. She sighed softly and then looked up at him.
"Yeah. I'm fine." Nakago looked into her eyes. He could easily read the weariness and exhaustion in them, but there was also so regret and sorrow.
"Alright." He then walked in front of her. Yui stared at his moving body for a second before starting after him.

Miaka yawned and snuggled against Taka. They were now sitting the living room of their apartment.
"Why do you think she saw?" Keisuke sighed, as Tetsuya took off his sunglasses and stretched.
"I don't know. I hope she'll be okay." Taka smiled then and pressed a kiss into Miaka's hair.
"Don't worry. Yui's a strong girl. She'll be okay."
"I hope so." All four people sat quietly, not wanting to disclose their thoughts.

Yui sighed. She had been repeating 'It wasn't real.' over and over again, but somehow, she just couldn't forget the horrid vision. What if it came true?
"You know, talking to yourself in the first clue of insanity." Yui turned to see the blonde ex-shogun smirking at her.
"Haha, very funny." She then turned around and kept walking. Nakago sighed then. She could be really stubborn when she wanted to, couldn't she?
"Yui, look. I'm not going to ask you what you saw. I don't think I need to." Yui sighed, and stopped walking, allowing the blonde to catch-up with her.
"Then what is this?" The blonde clenched his fist. So that's how it was. She didn't trust him. Hadn't he redeemed himself just a little bit?
"Is it that bad that you feel you must carry it with you to the grave?" Yui's eyes widened. The blonde wasn't even looking at her anymore. "That only makes it worse. Do you know how much easier it'd be to just say it?"
"Like anyone cares. Plus, we're in the present now. So stop thinking about the past, and what you did." Nakago then stopped and stared at the blonde girl.
"WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON??" Both blondes stared at each other in shock. 'How could she have known that?' ran through Nakago's mind and also in Yui's.
"Okay... Now, how the hell did I know that?" Nakago opened his mouth to answer, but then stopped. His mind had gone back to when he had felt pain even though it was Yui who was hurt, and the times when he could sense her emotions and thoughts. He then laughed and rubbed his temples with his right hand.
"Damn it. I should've have figured that out the first time it happened."
"What? WHAT!?" Yui cried impatiently.
"Seiryuu. He put a connection between our minds. Looks like he doesn't exactly have faith in the possibility that we might actually get along."
"Oh." Yui thought about it for a minute before a thought hit her.
"But how come we can't each other's every thought?"
"I think Seiryuu wanted is to give us some privacy."
"Oh. That makes sense." Nakago sighed. Yui then smiled sarcastically. "Okay. So now what do we do?"
"You die." Both Nakago and Yui turned around to find out they were surrounded by four figures covered in black.
"Umm..... who are you?" They began laughing as the one closest to Yui took off his mask.
"Oh, you are much too naive, Seiryuu no Miko. I'm going to enjoy spilling your blood." Yui took a couple involuntary steps back. The figure was indeed male, and he had one of cruelest smirks on his face. He and the other figures unsheathed their weapons. Nakago's eyes narrowed as he watched each of the figures. Yui pressed her back against the ex-shogun's. The swords that were pointed towards her looked quite intimidating.
"Yui. Stay close to me until they attack. Then run as far away as you can. Don't look back." Yui's fists clenched at Nakago's words.
"Yeah. Sure. In your dreams." 'Seiryuu' then appeared on her forehead, as blue light emit from her body. The figures grinned and took that as their cue to attack. They instantly cut the two blondes apart, making it easier to attack them. Nakago growled and muttered something about 'insolent miko's who didn't listen to orders' under his breath. He stared at his two opponents. One was almost his height, and quite bulky. The other was smaller in frame and build, most likely a female. He'd have to un-arm one of them he wanted to win. The larger one thrust his sword forward, nearly slicing through the blonde if he hadn't moved. Nakago grabbed his wrist, ready to take his sword if it wasn't for the yell from behind him. Ducking, Nakago kept his hold on the larger one's wrist as he kicked the smaller one back, giving the time he needed to kick the other in the groin, twist his arm behind his back, and remove the sword from his grasp. Kicking him, Nakago jumped back a little. Both warriors stood up, intensely angry. Their hoods had fallen revealing a man and woman as Nakago had predicted. Both had unusual amethyst eyes and violet hair. Now armed, Nakago easily felled the two by first kicking the man, stabbing the sword through the woman, and using her weapon to finish off her comrade. Looking at the two corpses, Nakago scowled.
"Damn you Seiryuu no Miko!" Yui on the other hand wasn't having too much luck. Her opponents were both males that were twice her size. Dodging another swipe, Yui took a couple steps back. Nakago saw this and was about to help her if it wasn't for the one figure that stood in front of him.
"I don't think so, Seiryuu Seishi Nakago." Nakago stared at the black-haired teenager before he instantly disappeared. He looked a lot like Tomo expect he was much slimmer and smaller in frame compared to the Seiryuu seishi. Nakago then ran towards Yui. She was standing there with one of the blades in her hand. Her eyes were blank, completely white. Nakago then looked down at the mutilated corpses. Instantly, Yui seemed to fall out of the reverie as her eyes switched back to normal, and she fell to her knees, her hand against her head. Nakago immediately picked her off the ground, and began to walk away from the scene.
"What happened?" Nakago set Yui down, and took hold of her face in his hands. Yui stared as Nakago did an inspection.
"You allowed one of Seiryuu's minions to posses you." Yui blinked.
"Seiryuu has minions?"
"Every god has minions." Nakago straightened up. "Even the good ones." He began walking with Yui following closely behind.
"So do you know who they are?"
"They were dark seishi by the looks of it." Yui then remembered how Taiitsukun had mentioned that.
"So now where are we going?"
"To Konan." Yui stopped walking.
"WHAT?!"

"Holy shit. They're going to Konan." Keisuke put down the book in disbelief.
"Is he crazy!? He's going to get both him and Yui killed!" Miaka stared at the book. Soft warmth filled her body as if someone was trying to comfort her. She then looked up at her spazzing boyfriend.
"Taka. Relax. Nothing's going to happen to them. I know it."

On the other side of Tokyo, in a recording studio, a young golden-brown eyed, brunette man looked outside at the heavy thunderstorm.
"Ra-san. Let's begin the next set." He nodded, and walked back to the mike, ready to sing. However, he still felt an unusual pang in the pit of his stomach, as if something unthinkable was going to happen.

"Ow." Yui pushed herself off the ground. This was the second time she had fallen. She was just so tired, but she didn't want Nakago to carry her and get tired too, and she knew that he wouldn't stop. She stumbled another few steps as she sped up to catch up with the blonde. Nakago then turned around. She was falling far behind. His eyes then widened when he saw the blood covering her legs.
"Yui! What the hell?" He immediately grabbed before she fell, and carried her.
"What? Hey! Come on. Put me down!" Yui struggled against the blonde shogun's hold, but she was just too tired. She gave in a matter of seconds, the strength having left her body.
"How many times have you fallen?"
"I don't know. Maybe two times. What? You expect me to keep count?" The blonde ignored the girl in his arms. He then walked through the rocky forest, following the sound of a stream. "Where are you going?" Nakago increased his speed. Her voice was much softer now, and it was starting to worry him. He didn't even know how long she had been bleeding. Yui's eyes then softly dropped.
"Hey. Yui! Don't fall asleep on me!"
"But I can't open my eyes." Panic ran through Nakago's system. He could feel her slipping away.
"Talk then. Talk about anything. Just try and stay awake. Okay?" Yui nodded slightly against Nakago's chest. She was just so tired. The only thing on her mind was sleep, but she forced herself to stay awake.
"Nakago. Have you met anyone else from this world?"
"What do you mean?"
"You know. In Tokyo. Have you met anyone else who's been reincarnated?"
"You'd be surprised." Yui struggled against the sleep that was trying to overcome her senses as Nakago kept walking. "My parents actually aren't as normal as they seem. My dad is none other than the former Shogun of Kutou, Koyuu."
"Wait a second. What? How can your dad be..."
"He was the shogun before me."
"Did you know that he was your dad?"
"I found out when I killed him." Yui bolted up.
"WHAat!?" She immediately fell back into Nakago's arms.
"Woah. Easy."
"Are you serious?"
"Yeah." Nakago then sighed mentally. He could see the stream now. Placing Yui down next to it, he reached into his pocket and grabbed out a handkerchief. Wetting it, he began to slowly wipe off the dry blood.
"You know. I only lost blood, right? Then why do I fell like I'm going to collapse any second?"
"You had just been possessed. It takes a huge toll on your body, and eats up most of your ki." He then grabbed out another cloth, and ripped it in half, tying one to each of her knees. "This should last a while, but I really don't think you should walk."
"Then what do you suppose I do? Float?" Nakago easily picked the blonde miko and began to walk, causing her to completely protest. "Nakago! You're going to tire yourself out."
"No, I'm not. Trust me I've been through worse." Yui sighed and leaned against his chest. She needed to sleep, but she still stayed awake.
"Where are we?"
"Eastern Konan. We'll probably reach the capital by midday."
"You mean we're going to walk all day? Shouldn't you be resting then?"
"No. Not really."
"I give up. You've got to be the most stubborn person on the planet." Nakago smirked.
"Good. I'm glad we agree."
"Jerk."
(A/N):Okay. I finally got this chapter done. Sorry, but I'm not that good at writing fight scenes. Okay, in this I kinda introduced a bit a new stuff, and an unknown character that's going to be very prominent later in the story! Can you guess who it is? Review please and type in your guesses, too!
To Ryven 64 – Glad you liked the chapter! Yes, the kiss scene was strange, but I couldn't help myself! I had to add it! Anyway, as for Yui and Nakago's relationship, I really have no clue where it goes. Frankly, let's just hope that it gets better, right? . Anyway, thanks for the review!
To WhiteAngelGuardian -- Well, I don't know if should really answer your question, cause it might give away the story. So you'll just have to wait and see what happens!
Well, as you can see, I haven't been on the computer much, which I am so sorry. So I'll try to get the next chapter posted within three days. So please leave your comments!
