No, Nakajima! Right now this cross is acting like a door between the demon and human worlds. If I leave it, that door will...
Yumiko had no way of knowing how the demon and human worlds were connected. But her intuition told her that an enormous power, clearly different from that of Set's, was held in the cross she was tied to. Yumiko unconsciously realized what awful things might happen should that terrible power be unleashed upon the earth. And she felt that if she died, then such things would be prevented. She bet her life on it.
But Nakajima, focused entirely on Yumiko, had no way of knowing what she was feeling.
"I pick you over the five billion other humans!" Letting out a terrible cry, Nakajima embraced Yumiko's body and sliced the cross in two with the Sword of Hi-no-Kagutsuchi.
The vacuum appeared to burn to Nakajima. An incredible flash shone throughout space.
Still holding each other, the two flew through the vacuum. Nakajima's chest was wet with an endless stream of hot drops. Her eyelids shut tight, covering the eyes crushed by Set, Yumiko stroked Nakajima's cheek as if trying to remember the contours of his face. Her lips trembled slightly. Even though he could not hear her voice, Nakajima knew what those lips were trying to say.
You really, you...
Another pair of warm lips prevented them from continuing any further. Alongside the couple, several red shooting stars cut through space. One let forth a voice of joy, and another let forth a loud laugh. It was a crowd of demons that had been able to make it through the open door for a moment and take form in the human world. But presently that door closed quietly amongst the echoes of the curses of the demons left behind. The two bodies enshrouded by Izanami's robe were already near the blue planet.
