Lina married Sanada Yukimura, believing it to be a blissful marriage but only to have her father-in-law, Lord Masayuki...

And I decided to use the Kusarigama of Kotaro whereas the sickle is being thrown instead of the chain.

"Hurry they'll catch onto us!" Yukimura urged his wife who was gripping onto his hand as they ran through the forest.
"I'm trying!" Lina protested in exhaustion as she tried to ignore her screaming muscles which were begging her to rest.
"I'm so sorry I can't carry you on my back Lina chan... I can't easily fight off the enemies that way.. Too bad my horse was stolen from the enemies too.." Yukimura gave her a side glance as Lina bit her lip and pushed her legs faster so that she's still holding his hand but running by his side now.
"It's okay Yukimura kun... I don't wish to be a burden to you anyway..." Lina answered softly but her husband heard her nevertheless.
"Don't say that Lina chan! You're never a burden to me!" he snapped as his eyes drifted briefly to her slim stomach...
"You... and our child... I can't let anything happen to the two of you... Not on my watch... Not on my life... I swear I'll protect the two of you with everything I've got..." Yukimura promised himself mentally...
Just as he swore on those words, he felt a sharp pain in his right ankle.. Yukimura fell forward and landed on both his knees but Lina was holding up one side of him.
"Yukimura kun! What happened?!?" she yelled out in panic and Yukimura quickly looked at the source of pain...
A huge chunk of flesh and meat was hanging off the loose skin of his right ankle and blood was oozing out like nobody's business...
"My god Yukimura kun! What happened?!? Did you get caught on a tree root or some sharp thorn of bushes?!?" Lina yelled out again as she quickly unrolled the bandage around Yukimura's thigh and hurriedly began wrapping it around his wound..
There was a deep mocking laughter which resounded around them and a brown haired man stepped out from a tree few meters away from Yukimura and Lina...
He was holding a sickle which was attached to a metal chain and it was roped around his wrist... The sickle was dripping with blood and Lina narrowed her eyes at him.
"You... You did this to my husband!" her voice quivered as her eyes pierced him with a deadly accusation..
"Yes hime sama... I certainly couldn't hurt you! Lord Nagahide will have my head if I do that! Besides, the order given to me was to stop you from escaping and..." his light hazel eyes dancing with glee as he stared at Yukimura. "Shame that you were the one aiding her to escape.. I would have much prefer it to be someone else from the Sanada clan though..."
Yukimura gritted his teeth as he clenched his fist, in a bid to also ignore the pain that his right ankle is causing him..
"And who might that be?! Why are you after the Sanada clan?! You want to bring my bloodline down too?!? Is it Nobuyuki nii san that you're after?!?"
