Hitsuzen, Part I

DISCLAIMER: Erm, this story was started TODAY, and out of NOWHERE, so it kind of starts in medias res. The story was awesome in my head, but you might not quite catch on to what I was thinking. MORE TO COME! *Points at PART I*

The battle waged on, whilst time seemed to stand still for both Tadeyo and Yurei. She cradled him in her arms, consoling him with every ounce of energy she could spare.
"Tadeyo," she said gently. His weary eyes opened to gaze at her. "You know I love you."
"Ahh..." groaned Tadeyo in pain, "And you know that I love you too."
He smiled at her softly, and closed his eyes while his steady breathing began again, ensuring Yurei that he was merely asleep.
She brushed his hair from his face and laid him down as the medic team came, and left him in their care. For now.
Yurei, realizing what had to be done, stood up firmly and grabbed her scarab.
She scouted the trees for a second, crouched down, and in an instant, was gone.

The trees rushed by in a green and brown blur, the wind carressing her face as she ran through the branches. As quickly and quietly as she possibly could, she maneuvered swiftly in and out of the trees when the hiss of a star caught her ear. She stopped apruptedly on a branch, her long bangs swaying forward in front of her, right in front of the ilbi that was aimed at her face, nearly clipping her nose. She snapped her head in the direction of where the star came from.
"YUREI," a deep voice shouts commandingly from the trees below her. She knew that voice.
"Yurei, don't do this!" the booming voice pleaded.
She stole the ilbi shot in the tree, and began to run with the Winds trailing all over her body. "Turn around, Domeki," she boomed back. "This isn't your affair!"
Domeki appeared in front of her instantaneously, reaching for her arm. "It is my affair, because you are my SISTER!"
"And Tadeyo is my HEART!" Yurei twisted her body to avoid his grasp, knocking herself off balance from the branch she was on. She fell backwards, keeping one foot planted on the tree. Domeki lunged forward, catching her by her shirt belts, leaving her dependent on his grip to save her from falling.
"Yurei, he is a Hitsuzen," Domeki barked angrily. "And you are a Hunter!"
"Domeki, it isn't about him..." she sighed. Domeki relaxed, understanding her sigh as a sign of truce. Then without hesitation, she kicked him in the stomach, and as he released her, she shouted, "It's about more than just him!"
She fell, and vanished into the green.
