Arrian would've never thought that this was possible. Link and his shadow, going one-on-one; the brunette couldn't bear it. She couldn't stand to see the cerulean-blue eyed blonde in pain. So far, not much damage was done. A few cuts and scrapes, but that's all. Nothing fatal. The shadowed male gave a laugh, Link's grim expression going darker.
"How about I take away little miss Arrian from you, Hero-boy~?" Shadow purred, reaching for the brunette, whom gave a shriek as her braids whipped behind her shoulders as she was pulled towards the purple-haired villain. He smirked, holding her tightly against his chest and gently pressing his lips against her cheek.
"D-Don't touch me!" Arrian shrieked, placing her hands on his chest and pushing, clenching her eyes shut.
"Don't touch her, you freak!" Link snarled, lunging at the shadow.
That's when it happened. It happened in a blur. A crack and a shriek of pain with a choked sob, and a spray of crimson.
