Twin star exorcists Fantasy

Part 6

Our lips almost touched. But Rokuro suddenly lifted his head upwards and stood tall and upright.His legs slightly bent at a getaway stance. He took the sword from my waist band.

What? Am I not allowed to take a sword with me? But why is Rokuro taking my sword? Does he want to kill me?

I looked up to see his face. He was a head taller than me. But the way his hand held the sword. Didn't look like he was going to attack me. His free hand protectively wrapped around my thin body, and pulled me close to him. His sword was in defense position. 

"ROOAAARRRR" An impurity popped up from nowhere, and attacked us. I buried my face into Rokuro's chest and shook silently. Rokuro kept dodging the attacks, while still holding me tightly. It wasn't easy for him to dodge and protect me at the same time, so I pulled away and whispered in his ears.

"Leave me somewhere safe, and I'll be able to take care of myself.

"Alright. Promise me that you'll be safe?" he whispered back.

"Yes promise." I replied.

He left me near a bush and ran off to take care of the impurity. I called it an impurity because they had impure desires and were not exactly clean. I ran off into the forest, really deep. A normal person who is used to living in the village would probably consider me wild, but ever since my family was killed by those impurities, the forest has been my home.

The animals were my friends, and there was a kind old lady who would usually bring me food, and other necessary items. But she died a few years ago so I have had to take care of myself. 

I went extremely deep into the forest, but I tripped on .......

"KYAAAA!!!!" I screamed. A huge impurity wrapped its tail around my body. 

Intense pain shot through my right arm, while my screams seemed to be pleasing the monster. Thinking of the only person who could help me I yelled.

"ROKURO!!!!! HELP!!!!!HELP ME PLEASE!!!!!!! ROKURO!!!!!!" Tears started to fall from my eyes as the monster thrashed me wildly into the nearby rocks. The pain was too much...... too much..... My body couldn't handle it. I could tell that my blood circulation was suffering, and I had already lost a lot of blood. As for my right arm...... I can't even feel it.

Rokuro P.O.V.

Benio ran deeper into the forest away from this horrible fight with a horrible creature.I kept attacking with the sword in my hands. I managed to defeat it, but then before I could celebrate my victory.

"KYAAAA!!!!" Benio's scream filled my head.

I ran towards the place from where her voice came.

"ROKURO!!!!!HELP!!!!!HELP ME PLEASE!!!!!!! ROKURO!!!!!!" her screams were louder this time but weak at the same time.

Then I saw what was going on. Another one of those creatures had gotten Benio. Benio struggled to get free of its grasp, but she was bleeding from head to foot. I took a closer look at her and gasped. The place where the monster had gripped her had turned into a sick shade of bluish green.

"BENIO!!!!!!!!!!" I jumped up and cut the creature's head off. The thing hadn't noticed since it was enjoying Benio's screams.

Benio fell to the floor with a thud. I ran over to her, and picked her up. I slowly walked through the woods holding her weak and limp body close to my chest. I threw my cape around her to keep her warm. Her eyes slowly fluttered open.
