Luna couldn't remember what had happened next, only that there was now a very panicked Sesshomaru holding her and running. He appeared to be running for his life, but from what, Luna couldn't tell. A flash of metal caught her attention and an all-too-familiar scent hit her nostrils.

Sesshomaru grunted as the blade hit him. He knew that if Luna hadn't had him train, he wouldn't have made it this far, but also that if they hadn't been training, he would have gotten to her sooner. His instincts screamed at him the second she had passed out, but it took him a minute to find his way back. He knew there wasn't much he could do now. Just run and try to keep her from him, but this tactic was beginning to fail. He was getting more and more exhausted. She was beginning to feel like a lead weight. Lloyd wasn't showing the slightest bit of exhaustion.

In his thoughts, he had almost not noticed that he had tripped over a tree root. As Lloyd slowed down, preparing for his kill, Sesshomaru's head hit a rock. He felt consciousness slipping away as he noticed Luna moving to get up. 'Please... don't get killed...'

Dark stone surrounded him. He was in an odd room filled with decayed tools and odd objects that gave off a slight aura. The room was as cold as death itself. An eerie glow lit up the room enough to see. In the center was a man with sandy hair and crimson armor. He appeared to be a swordsman, about as old as Sesshomaru. The man opened his eyes and gazed at Sesshomaru for a moment before looking through his pocket for something.

"Where are we?" The man did not reply, simply checking his other pocket. There was something familiar about him, though Sesshomaru could not place it.

The man looked up, holding a round silver stone. "Do you know a woman named Lunari? More than likely still goes by Luna?"

Sesshomaru's eyes widened as the man looked up, and widened more when the man spoke. 'Those eyes... They're just like Luna's! And he knows her?' "She's my mate, why do you ask?"

"She's my little sister." The man held out the stone to Sesshomaru. "Take this and keep her safe. I'll be keeping a close eye on you..." The man gave Sesshomaru a dangerous look as the last words rang out.

Sesshomaru took the stone from the man and the room seemed to change. The mysterious man faded and so did the eerie light. Sesshomaru was left in darkness.

Slowly, the lights began to return. He opened his eyes to find himself on the forest floor, witnessing Luna and Lloyd fighting. Lloyd had her pinned down and was bending her arm the wrong way. Luna was squirming to get her arm free so that she could transform. Sesshomaru noticed something sparkling beside him. Picking it up, he realized that it was the stone the mysterious man had given him. 'With this, if I'm right about what this is...' He focused his energy into it and transformed. He found himself covered in thick, silver armor with seven wings behind him. 'I can save her...'

Lloyd got the air knocked out of his lungs as Sesshomaru tackled him. Luna rolled onto her back, reaching for her dragoon spirit. Finding the pouch, she transformed herself. Lloyd froze as he realized he was now one wingly against two dragoons. "Damn... We'll continue this later." Before either one could stop him, Lloyd was gone, leaving Luna and Sesshomaru alone.

"Feeling alright, Sesshy?" Luna smiled at him.

"Only if you're ok..."

"I am, thanks to you... Though if you had waited five seconds, I would have had a detachable arm."

"Would I have been allowed to borrow it?"

"On the weekends." Luna grinned. She was surprised that he was feeling so well, despite having hit his head on a rock. "Let me examine your head for a second..." Luna inspected it carefully. Not even a bruise was left. "Wow... you heal quick..."

"There you guys are- Sesshomaru, why do you have so many wings?" Kagome froze. This armor was all-too-familiar. Flashbacks were running through her head about when Lloyd had attacked the apartment. She had not been able to use her dragoon spirit, thus, had been completely helpless as she watched her new friends get hurt trying to stop him.

"He found his dragoon spirit... speaking of which, where did you find it?" Luna glanced up at him.

Sesshomaru recounted his time in the strange room and waking up right next to it.

"So that was that shiny thing that flew out of his pocket..."

"Huh?"

"When you had fallen, I got up and lunged at him. I remember we fought for a bit, then I kicked him near his pants pocket and something oddly shiny flew out of it... I think he didn't even notice."

"...How odd..."

Authoress: *passes out from exhaustion*

Zakura: ...I can't believe she intends on keeping this up all summer...

Ame: *nods* Scary, huh? I wonder how much she'll get done...

Zakura: Well, we need to close this for her... Sayonara, everyone.
