Previously:"Be careful." She whispered before kissing him sweetly on the cheek before looking in his eyes. She only smiled and ran back to where she was going before turning around. Toshiro only smirked and turned is attention to the men coming his way.

The taller ones eyes flickered towards his comrade and turned back to Toshiro. There captain watched from a distance while also keeping his attention glued on Momo too, making sure he knew where she was so when the time came he could snatch her up. She was near the door that lead inside but leaning against the side of the boats edge watching nervously. Finally the shorter one charged and swung his sword towards Toshiro's face as he blocked it with him sword. Sending the sound of the clash chiming through the air. Then the taller one ran at him, swinging lower this time. Toshiro pushed the one away with all his strength in order to be able to block the next blow. The hitting of swords rang on as Momo watched in horror, it was getting a little too much for her but she couldn't go inside, she had to stay in saving distance.

Both men backed up for a minute with a smirk. They were hardly warn out while Toshiro was panting for breath already. It wasn't an even fight, and it was beginning to show. Momo's eyes filled with worry as she watched them jump at him again, one swing after another until finally the smaller mans sword made contact with Toshiro's upper arm, cutting through the flesh as blood oozed out. Toshiro hissed loudly as a smirk overtook the captains face. Momo covered her mouth, trying not to make noise as she felt her eyes grow watery. The taller man attacked next. Toshiro tried to block it but missed, as the metal sword pieced his left leg, sending him down to his knee with a yelp. Momo gasped as she pushed herself off the railing in order to run over to him but was stopped when someone grabbed her arm and pulled her back up against him, while wrapping her in his arms.

"Now, now princess. Don't get involved, sit back and enjoy the show. Not everyday you get to see someones life get taken." The captain chuckled in her ear as she began to struggle in his grip. More tears ran down her face as another blow was hit on Toshiro's upper shoulder as he shrieked lowly.

"Toshiro!" Momo screamed in a cracked voice as she started to cry hysterically. She wiggled and thrusted her body left in right trying to get out of the mans hold. "Let go! There gonna kill him! Please let me go!" She cried out loudly. The captain only chuckled as he remained still, not bothered by her attempts to get free. Toshiro glanced over towards her through his blurry vision and only smiled at her lightly, causing her breath to hitch and her action to stop as she froze.

"We'll give you five seconds to get up kid before we kill you!" One of the two men shouted with a laugh. Momo's heart began to pound harder as she watched Toshiro try to stand up but he wasn't getting very far. "one" The count began. Momo's mind wondered everywhere. Trying to find away out of this mans grip. "Two" Then she stumbled over something.

"It'll be okay, just keep yourself away from them all and I'll do the rest." Toshiro took his hand back and reached into his pocket. He took out a little red pocket knife. He unfolded her hands in front of him and placed it in them. He pulled her to the front of him and hugged her to the side of him. Toshiro then leaned down to her ear. "Just in case things get out of hand, don't hold back and use that." He kissed her ear and pulled away from her.

She had the knife! "Three" The man counted. Momo easily reached her hand into the pocket of Toshiro's shirt and pulled it out. She flipped it open slowly and silently as she took a deep breath. She Tried not to think about what she was about to do since it was out of her nature. "Four" Taking another breath in she jammed the small knife into the captains arm, causing him to scream and pull away from her. Everyone turned there attention to the captain who's arm was oozing out blood. He growled as he glared at Momo who was running to Toshiro's side. The two men ran over tot here captain.

Momo slid down to the ground when at Toshiro's side. Her tears were still streaming down her face as she hiccuped. Toshiro only smirked and with his only good arm wrapped it around her shoulders and pulled her closer to him as she sobbed into his side. "It's okay, Momo. Your fine, I'm fine." He assured her, kissing the top of her head and placing his cheek on top. His eyes glanced over towards the three mean. The two were trying to help there captain who was gritting his teeth. Toshiro wasn't very pleased with Momo's action though, quite scarred out it. Thanks to her his life was speared for the moment, but that could have put her in just as much danger and he wasn't strong enough to protect her at the moment. The captains head shot up, his glance fell upon the two of them and Toshiro stiffened. "Oh no." Toshiro whispered causing Momo to lift her head up and look at him. She gazed over to where he was looking to see the captain glaring straight at her.

"Forget the freaking boy! I want the girls head separated from her shoulders!" He yelled at the top of his lungs as he pointed towards her. Momo gulped as she saw the two men turn and look at her. A shiver ran up her spin as she felt Toshiro pull her even closer to him. He honestly had no idea what to do. They were going to try to kill her and he didn't have any strength left. It made him so angry how weak he was and how he couldn't protect her from some random goons. Momo pulled away slightly as Toshiro looked at her.

"Stay right here Momo, I won't let them hurt you." He whispered lightly trying to pull her back into his side but she just pulled back. Toshiro's eyes widened as she tried to stand but he pulled her back down with all his strength. She wasn't really going to try and run was she? He could still try and save her, he had a sword. But if she ran there wouldn't be much hope for her.

"Toshiro, your hurt. If you try to save me you'll be killed. I can't let yo do that." She cried as she yanked herself away from him. Toshiro cursed under his breath as she ran to the other side of the ship, away from the men. She had no clue what she was doing, but there had to be somewhere she could run, somewhere she could hide. She had gotten herself into this mess and she wasn't going to let Toshiro suffer anymore then he already had for her mistakes. The two men ran towards her as she came to the end of the boat, the only thing she could do now was go under, which Toshiro had told her not to do but what other choice did she have? She glanced behind her quickly to see the men getting closer and Toshiro trying his hardest to get up and protect her. There captain was trying to stop the bleeding in his arm with a scowl on his face.

"Ha ha, the little princess has no where to go now." The taller man chuckled as they got closer. "What a pity, we could have helped you out. Taken you back to your home but someone had to get a little too concerned about the enemy over there." He teased with a smirk as they approached closer. Momo glared at them and ran towards the door that led down to the under deck. They looked shocked but fallowed as she pulled the door open and ran inside. Toshiro's eyes widened as his heart raced. There wasn't that much room down there and there were two of them to corner her, plus they were out of sight, he couldn't get to her fast now, if he could get to her at all.

Momo ran down the stairs, holding on to the bar so she couldn't trip. She could hear the heavy footsteps behind her and fear over took her whole being. Chances were she was going to die soon. But what she really couldn't understand was how could she die? This was more of a dream land. She had saw for herself she was really in a coma, not here. When she made it to the bedroom she was stuck, there was no where else to run. Tears rolled down her eyes as she heard them getting closer. She'd give anything to be home. Out of this ship and home with the Toshiro that actually knew her as his wife and lover, with her daughter that smiled and giggled every second of the day. In her nice peaceful house where nothing bad had ever or would ever go wrong.

There footsteps became louder as she got on her hands and knees. She crawled inbetween the small gape of the wall and the dresser as she tried her best to keep quite and not make any noices. They were in the room now. She could see there feet from the small opening underneath the dresser. They had stopped in the middle of the room, probably trying to find a good place to start looking for her.

"Princess, come on out. It'll be over shortly if you stop the games! Fast and easy, I promise!" He called. Momo covered her mouth with her hands to keep from whimpering as she leaned against the wall and took in a deep steady breath to try and calm her. There was a window above the bed, if she could just get there and out it, she might still have a chance. Hopefully they would check the bathroom before the dresser. The bathroom was pretty huge, so if they both went in there she might be lucky to have a good thirty seconds to escape. "Okay princess, you have it your way, now you have a reason to hide! When I find you, I'm gonna make you scream and suffer!" Momo's heart skipped a beat as fear washed over her again. She watched them move around the room, looking around in different places. Finally they moved in the direction of the bathroom it looked like. Momo watched in hope as they opened the door and walked in. She crawled as fast as she could from behind the dresser and ran towards the bed. She hopped on and began to try and lift the window up, but one of the hitches was stuck. She tried again with all her might and still nothing happened. Her heart raced as she went to turn to run for the door but a hand landed on her shoulder causing her body to stiffen.

"boo" His voice came out in a whisper. The man yanked Momo by the shoulder back, causing her to yelp as he pushed her back into the bed. She squirmed and whined as he held her there. She started to hit his chest as he climbed on top of her to keep her from getting away. He sat on her stomach with one leg on each side of her, pinning her arms above her head with his free hand while the other clutched the pocket knife she had used to stab there captain, her eyes widened as he ran the blade softly over her skin on her cheek, not hard enough to do anything but tickle the area there. "Your not the smartest fish in the sea I can tell. First you attack the captain, when you could have been saved. Second you try to hide, when this cold have been fast and easy. Lastly you try to fight back. Maybe, if the captain doesn't do it himself, we'll get rid of your little boyfriend up there since you can't cooperate, humm?" He chuckled. Momo's eyes widened as tears trickled down her cheeks.

"No, please! Leave him alone, I won't fight back anymore!" She promised as she hipcupped. The man smirked down at her and ran the blade up her cheek again before leaning down to kiss the skin it had traced.

"I'll think about it." He whispered against her skin as he lifted the blade and launched it into the soft skin of her upper arm. Momo shrieked as he twisted the blade into her flesh a few times before pulling it out. Her cries started to get louder as the burning pain kept getting worse. "That a girl. Scream, scream so the brat up there can hear you." Her chuckled as he moved over to her ear and kissed it gently before jabbing the blade back into her arm but closer to her hand instead. Momo screamed in pain as she tossed her head side to side as the burning grew worse. She could hardly see out her eyes. She didn't know if it was because of the tears, or because the pain was too much and she was about to pass out. "Don't worry sweetheart, this will be the last strike." He whispered to her with a chuckle as he ran the blade down her body until coming to the place right above her heart. Momo closed her eyes as his lips kissed her forehead and the blade slowly began to slip through her flesh, she cried out as the pain over took her whole being, even though it wasn't all the way through yet. Her sight went blank as she blacked out from the pain. Her breathing didn't hault though...
