"I-Rin!" Kuri cried out.
In seconds, Rin appeared, shattering the hut with his Flame Sword.
"Kuri!" Rin reached for her, but Satan pulled her into his arms.
"Kurisuta Hikawa," Satan whispered in her ear.
He grabbed her, pulling her close with his dark, twisted arms, drawing her against his human-like chest.
Kuri screamed and reached for Rin. She couldn't summon her powers; she was too weak from the torture.
Rin raised his sword.
"Careful, Rin. If you swing your sword now, she dies too," Satan taunted.
"What are you waiting for? Kill him!" Yukio cried out. "Or I will."
Reiko quickly wrapped Yukio in vines, yanking him back.
"Relax..." Satan murmured, pressing a cold kiss to Kuri's neck, making her cringe. "I won't finish you today. But when I do, I will take you and make you mine. I will carve out your heart and devour it."
"You won't touch her!" Rin shouted, tearing her free from Satan's grasp. "Kuri is mine."
"You are a fool who cannot protect his mate," Satan sneered.
Rin held Kuri tightly. "I was born to protect her!"
