Kylar looked at megumi, that one distraction was enough to let the dragon leader plunge his sword in Kylar's heart. He was taking gasping breaths, while holding the sword with both his hands blood was already forming over his heart.

MEgumi ran forward, her shadows wrapping around the dragon leader and throwing him away as Megumi caught Kylar. She held him close, her eyes glowing still but it looked like she wasn't just fighting one battle...

Megumi screamed in her mind, the shadows around her wrapping around her tightly. The Shadow Wolf was fighting to get out of a cage as a figure stood there, facing away from the pair. He cursed and looked back at Megumi. "I told you if you tried anything again..." Megumi fought her bonds and said "Let me go! He will die if I don't do something! Get out of my mind Gaiz! Please, just let me save him!"

Kylar was gasping for breath, he was getting weaker an fast it was hard to focus on anything around him.

Megumi could sense his life fading and she looked at Gazi, one of the ninja who had been chasing her. She sighed and said "Then you give me no choice...." She looked at the Wolf who looked at her. She nodded.

Megumi set Kylar on the ground and turned to the Dragon leader, her eyes white now. She said "I break the ties and seals of the Shadows...let loose the true demon of the night..." She pulled her blade out and closed her eyes, fighting to keep control. Then she stabbed herself, on the seal. The shadows in the room went nuts, totally out of control and Megumi fell to her knees, and from her shadow the leader could hear growling and panting. It was huge. Bigger then when MEgumi had taken its form. it was bigger then a bear. The Wolf Demon of the Shadows appeared, growling as its black fur almost glowed. It had 11 tails, all moving like the shadows did. He moved towards Kylar and blew on his wound, the shadows wrap[ing around it tightly and stopping the bleeding. Then he turned to the dragon leader. "You were cleaver...sending one of the hunters after my host...to get us out of the way...but he wasn't strong enough to stop me once Megumi released the seal. His now dead, his body whereever he left it. So now...I get to kill you...feast on your soul and taste moral energies once more..." He moved towards the leader, megumi on the ground now bleeding.

Kylar felt the shadows wrapping around the wound, he got to his knees and pushed himself to his feet. He took painful steps toward megumi, water wrapped around his hand like a glove. "I'm giving you a warning now....this is gonna sting a little." He moved his hand and placed it on top of her stomach, the water glowed and started healing megumi's wound. "The wound over my heart is not yet fully healed, but the shadow wolf has bought me some more time, before I leave this world. The metal on that sword was demon metal no jutsu can heal it I'm sorry for that megumi I truly am and I love you."

MEgumi stirred, too weak to open her eyes. The wolf stopped and looked at Kylar, almost smiling. "Demon metal huh? Well....isn;t that a small world...that's what Megumi was stabbed with before she became my host...she just reopened the wound to release me..." He looked at the leader and said "I will deal with you later..." The shadows pulled the Dragon leader into a void and he was gone. The wolf went over to Kylar, tilting his head. "There's no reason for you to die today. You have a fate to finish. A task to uphold. There maybe something I can do for it but...it has a price"

Kylar looked at the wolf, "and that price would be?" He didn't take his hand off megumi's wound till it was healed.

He smiled and said "Well...to Megumi is wasn't much of a price...depends if you mind sharing"

Kylar looked at him, then at megumi "so your saying half of you is going to be inside her while the other half is in me?"

He shook his head andsaid "Can't split myself...but I know of a few spirits who could use a home...one would be right up your alley. His the Dragon of the Mists...and his also blind but uses his powers. You remind me of him"

Kylar looked at him, then nodded. "Alright I guess so, I can be his host." He sensed megumi, stir a bit more he knew he would be back on her feet once she woke up.

He smiled and said "Good...you two will be a good pair" He howled and the room suddenly filled with mist. "Your up kid...I believe you know how this is done"

Kylar to a breath, and did some hand signs. "Ninja art five point seal" the seal form on his right shoulder blade and he feels the mist going into it. Pain was shooting through his body but he didn't show it.

The Wolf nodded and said "He will sort things out..." Megumi stirred again and he added "She's going to need sleep. Breaking the seal and fighting that ninja off would have taken its toll on her. He jumped us last night. She knew she was being tailed which was why she left your side. She didn't want you to get hurt"

Kylar looked at her, then nodded. He picked her up, and turned to the wolf. "You coming or not if not then" he shrugs, as he sensed the wolf in front of him.

He smiled again and said "I'm coming..." He vanished into shadows and returned to hers, the seal glowing as it was resealed.

Kylar started running back toward the mist village, it would at least take them a few days to get there in the least. no it won't not if you keep going I can give you that extra boost of energy Kylar thought for a bit alright mist dragon I'll keep going even through the night

Megumi was out cold and would be for a while. Her wound might have been healed, but the mental damage was there

By the next day they were back in the mist village, Kylar made his way back to his place. He set megumi down on his bed so she could rest while he sat on the floor.

After a couple of hours she stirred again, she muttered and opened her eyes slightly "Kylar..."
