"Hey, Orihime, you seem to be down." "Hi, Yourichi-san." "Worried about Ichigo again?" "I… I don't know how to help him. I always wanted to protect him, but he keeps protecting me instead." Orihime drew her legs up and set her chin on her knees. "Now he's worried about how our lives have become tangled together because he affected all of us unintentionally." Yourichi responded, "You know Ichigo – he worries about everything." She elbowed Orihime. "I bet I know how you'd like to be tangled with him." The high school girl gasped. "I…I…" "It's all right – I think everyone knows how you feel except for Ichigo. But d

"Kurosaki-kun!" Orihime shouted as she ran towards Ichigo. "Hey," he greeted her, turning his head towards her from his place flat on his back in the grass. "What are you doing here?" "I… let me heal you first," she said softly as she knelt down and went to work. "Thanks, Inoue. That was a tough one." He fell silent. "Is that why you didn't go on the field trip with the class?" Orihime asked as she healed up the last of his wounds. "You knew the hollow was coming?" Ichigo answered, "No… I just needed to be alone for awhile so I let everyone at home think I was going and came here. The hollow had other ideas…" "Oh… I'

At first Sango just stared at Miroku's footprints in the snow. She was still shocked by InuYasha's words. She'd had no idea that her fighting again with Miroku had hurt him so much. Blinded by her own suffering, she never even noticed his pain. She felt so foolish. Carefully, she made her way through the snow, following the trail that Miroku had made. She didn't have to go far before she saw his dark head and robes. "Miroku?" she called softly. He stood and started towards her. "Ahhh!" Sango cried as her feet became tangled in her winter robe. "Sango!" Miroku rushed forward and caught her. Carefully, he helped her regain her balance. Hi

Catch a falling star an' put it in your pocket, Never let it fade away! Catch a falling star an' put it in your pocket, Save it for a rainy day! "What? What's that you're saying?" Calcifer asked in a strained voice. Sophie stopped her scrubbing and looked at the fire demon, puzzled. "I was singing, silly – just something to pass the time." "I don't like the sound of that!" the demon in the hearth exclaimed. "What good comes of catching a star? And why would you put it in your pocket and save it for the rain?" Howl walked down the steps, stretching and yawning. "What's all of the fuss this early in the morning?" Sophie snorted.

InuYasha was looking over his shoulder and not really watching where he was running. He just knew that he had to get away, and fast. "InuYasha!!!!!" he heard screeched at the top of his pregnant wife's lungs. "Damn!" The hanyou slid to a halt. He may not wear the beads of subjugation any more but he knew there would be worse hell to pay if he didn't respond to Kagome's call. "I see you still submit to the human," his brother said with a chuckle. InuYasha glared. "Like you don't submit to your wife." "Well, it is you that they are calling for, not me," Sesshomaru commented. "Just say you haven't seen me," the hanyou begged as he posed to

He had felt no guilt in his Crusnik form, but now that he was back to his more human appearance, Father Nightroad couldn't help but to feel some anguish a the sight of the bodies that littered the ground around him. He had given them every opportunity to stop their pursuit, but instead they had continued after him in an almost childish, gleeful manner. They were vampires and difficult to kill, but once he activated the Crusnik nanomachines, they stood no chance against him. The normally humble Catholic priest and member of the AX squad wiped away the blood from the corner of his mouth before he continued on his way. He realized that for onc

He was panting as he ran, his pursuers not far behind him. He could tell that they were toying with him, laughing at him, as he tried to escape. He had gone into the city of Methuselahs to attempt to negotiate for the return of the human crew of a ship that had gone down. The Vampires were insisting that they had perished in the crash, but the Vatican knew that was not the truth. Father Abel Nightroad had been sent to attempt to bring the humans back from the city of the undead. He had been sent out as soon as word reached the Vatican that the ship had gone down in Methuselah territory, but arrived only to find that it had been raided of its
