Umichi followed Suki along, it was easy for him to follow her, since she had a lantern. He wasn't sure where Yumi was though. [i]Maybe she went to sleep[/i] he thought. But after a while, it was getting harder to see the lantern light, before he lost it completely. He rushed in the direction he last saw it. [i] Damn it, where did she go?[/i] he wondered, staring out into the darkness. If the game didn't affect his real abilities, he would of been able to see better than what he did now. There wasn't much moonlight tonight being a cresent moon in Aincrad. "Tsk" he sounded. Suddenly, he noticed Suki's health bar getting lower. He started to panic.

He ran around, listening for any sounds of the battle. He could see her health dropping. There was a yell. "UMICHI![b]SWITCH[/b]". He turned. There was a glint of metal. He dashed, as quickly as he could. Seeing the Nepent approaching Suki, who was whimpering. His emotions started to rage. "RARRRRG" He screamed out, dashing in front of Suki, with a giant cleave into the Nepent. The Nepent's health shot down quickly from the attack, leaving only a slither of health. He cut it down with one more swift cut. The Nepent was gone. The screen for the items, the exp and col came up. He ignored it, turning to Suki. Rage still filled his eyes, even if it was dark, the aura of the rage could be felt by those around. He started to crouch down, giving Suki a health potion, watching her health recover. "DON'T EVER DO THAT!" he yelled. The rage could be heard loud and clear.

A moment after he yelled, it was silent and then suddenly, he hugged her, tears running down his face. "Please, ... don't ever do that." He had gotten so close to her, he did not want anything to happen to her. He held her tight. Not wanting to let go. He could see a Dire Wolf approaching, but with his eyes filling with rage looking at it, it seemed to understand and whimper. [i]Even though it's a game, it can still tell huh?[/i] he thought. He continued to hold her tight, not wanting the girl he found dear to leave his side.
