Yuki's heart ached at Banas words. She crouched down on eye-level with the child, one hand on her shoulder. "Don't ever say stuff like that, okay?" She said softly. "No ones mad at you, you didn't do anything wrong. Niko and Irene had something they needed to take care of, that's all. Don't ever think that it's because of you."
Shadow didn't even try to dodge. He let the fire strike him, engulfing his body completely. He raised one hand, the fire darkening to black. "Not bad, I suppose. It's your energy, let me give it back!" The fire left him, collecting in front of him. He sent the black flames right back at her. Apart from a slight burn around his fingertips and arms, he hadn't been injured.
(( *nervous laugh* Sorry if he seems a bit godmoddish. I purposely designed his character that way to make up for Niko's lack of power, and his own extreme sensitivity to healing magic. He's supposed to be very, very strong. I have been using his character for five years, and I can count on one hand how many people have actually been able to equal or master his power, and still have plenty of fingers left over.))

Irene felt herself going backwards, but all she could think about was saving Niko and getting rid of her energy. That's when it struck her. "The power spell!" Irene was consumed with darkness, and things seemed hopeless for her. Then, she was suddenly starting to glow. Her entire body was outlined in white, and her eyes were like twinkling yellow stars. She got up slowly and fought the darkness. The thought that Niko was somewhere with them at that point, she wanted to show him. She wanted him to KNOW she was there for him. "You're not what he needs right now." Irene had a small smile. The power-up spell made anyone of her choice invincible for a specific amount of time. She hoped this would work, because after this her energy would surely be drained. "What is for his good, is me, Bana and Yuki. We are his friends, his family. You only cause him grief and sadness. I don't care the grudge you hold, or the power you have. If it ever comes down to it, if it costs my very life, Niko will one day be freed of you." ((I'll pm my idea to you. ^.^))

Irene turned and blocked the worst of the lash. In her invinsible mode, she seemed to have no scar. It took a lot of her energy though. Her glow dimmed. "What?" Her energy, it was retreating. But... Why? Were Shadow's emotions weakening her? Somuch hatred and so much death and anger, she realised it must have taken her strength just to keep from these emotions consuming her as well. After all, they were in territory she didn't want to destroy for the sake of the creatures in here, and if she went overboard ith anger the whole area would have been diminished. It was then she realised, there was no way she could beat him. A few cuts and bruises maybe, but especialy in the state she's in she couldn't win. She realised. Then she became angry. There was a friend in there somewere after all. "Not without a fight you don't!" Irene pounded her palms to the ground, making all of the ground around her and Shadow shake. So did the trees, and the sky turned red. Every last ounce of her energy was going to come out into multiple attacks. She rose spikes under Shadow's feet, then ice shards flew at him in all directions, then fire burst through cracks in the ground, and th wind blew so sharply it could cut at the skin. There was no pause between these actions, in fact, they almost all happened at once. 'Please, at least do a little damage... So my eventual death dosen't go in vain. I know Niko's pain of being outcasted and hated, let him know at least that I cared and tried!' ((Ooh, dramatic. 0.0))

Shadow's eyes glowed red. So, this was her full power... He unfolded his wings, and became airborn, avoiding the spikes from the ground easily. Black globes appeared in his hands and he held them out to the ice shards and fire. Both were absorbed into the darkness he held effortlessly. The wind cut through his skin, but he repelled most of it with pulses of dark energy. He had reached quickly, as if predicting the attacks before she executed them. He landed back on the ground. Blood dripped from a cut on his cheek, and from two on each arm. One pant leg was also slightly torn at the knee; he hadn't been able to dodge the wind attack as well as he had the others. He swiped at the blood on his cheek with the back of one hand, watching the girl. "Is that it?"
Yuki looked down the path. "Let's go towards the village Irene was taking us to. I know the basic path there." She smiled, then picked up Bana gently and placed her on her mares saddle. "Here," He said gently, picking up the reigns and giving them to Bana. "Hold onto these tightly." She adjusted the bootstraps on the sides; Bana's feet wouldn't be able to reach them completely, but she'd still have something to rest her feet on. "Let's go, okay?" She started off down the path, gently gripping the end of the reigns to lead her mare down the path.

((A bit late, isn't he? sweatdrop ))
Niko stirred slightly a moment or two later, sitting up shakily. "Wha...?" He looked around in confusion, then saw Irene beside him. His memory came back in a flash. "Irene!" He scrambled to his knees, quickly checking for her pulse. Finding it, he sighed in relief. Shadow hadn't killed her. Normally he would ask why, since Shadow had never spared anyone before, but he was too relieved now.
He stood up, and carefully pulled her onto his back, carrying her down the path Yuki and Bana had taken.
Yuki looked oveer at the old man in suspicion, then nodded. "We know her. She's just back in the clearing over—" She turned to point back where they had come from, only to pause when she saw Niko walking towards them, carrying Irene on his back. There was a cut on Niko's cheek, and a few along his arms as well. "Niko!" She ran over to him. "How's Irene?" She asked. Niko appeared to be still stunned that Irene was still alive.
