AN: So yes another story, but you know what this pairing doesn't have many stories devoted to them and I was curious as to how this would play out. But this story could go very badly or can be embraced with open arms; however, I feel that my first thought might reign true. I have to admit that I've only seen the anime series and have yet to read any of the manga so there may be inaccuracies and names may be off. So feel free to correct or inform me on such matters. So hesitatingly onward with the story

Also I understand that ages need to be verified so I will say that Yuya is 12 and Kyo is 16 so this is 2 years before the big Battle of Sekigahara.

Chapter 1: Crimson Savior

I saw it then…the red irises of death and they gleamed in delight at my wretched sight

Clutching the doll to her chest she sobbed into the darkness, nobody was left there was nothing…just the emptiness of her heart at the sheer devastation she had witnessed. Never in her short life could she have imagined how much blood could spill forth from men and women and children. Why was she left alive, she wished that she would have perished quickly instead of crouching in the bleak darkness of the tiny hut. It was only a matter of time before she was found, before her heart would be ripped from her chest and her bones consumed by the red-eyed demon.

She had heard stories of such an evil entity, who fed on human flesh and whose only happiness was to see man slaughtered by his gleaming blade. Yuya had not paid much heed to these stories, rather thinking that no one could be so cruel and in this time of chaos and confusion surely he had his reasons. Unfortunately she had been wrong in making such assumptions and now she realized that the rumors had been true and now she would die by the demon's hand.

No more yelling, no more shouting, just the empty sounds of an empty village, except she knew that he was there somewhere. But maybe he left maybe he didn't know she was here, perhaps she wasn't strong enough to provoke his rage and fury. Yuya knew that it was most likely wishful thinking, but she also knew that she couldn't stay where she was for much longer. She had to relieve herself and she didn't want to stay in the vacant hut anymore, it was eerie and she wanted to leave.

So taking a deep breath she got up on her little legs and slowly began walking to the entrance and then peeking out of the opening she cautiously glanced out and gasped at the destruction outside of her haven.

'Maybe going outside isn't such a good idea, but I really need to relieve myself.'

Deciding that she would go carefully Yuya stepped out of the shelter and slowly walked to the forest, however, something stopped her dead in her tracks. The very demon that she had come to fear was standing in front of her and her face paled, breathing quickened and unable to hold her urine in it trickled down her legs and onto the dirt.

The warming sensation brought her back to reality and she immediately turned pink at the realization at what she had done.

However, the demon walked closer to her and stopped a few feet from her, noticing her accident he smiled, showing the sharpened canines.

Yuya whimpered and was about to start crying

"Girl, have I frightened you so much that you pissed on yourself?" He asked and Yuya knew he was trying to bait her, but her mouth was firmly shut.

"I asked you a question so answer before I decided to detach that empty head of yours."

"No I only did this because I already needed to go to the bathroom and you stood in my way, so it's not my fault." Where had that come from, she didn't show as much fear in her voice as she felt and for that she was happy.

"You're a cheeky little girl aren't you, maybe I should teach you a lesson in manners."

Quickly Yuya averted her gaze and began trembling as his words sunk in…he didn't appear to be old at all in fact he looked to be maybe three or four years older than herself and already he had such a reputation. And with his blood red hair he did appear to have a demonic aura around him, but she couldn't help but think that underneath it all despite his crimson eyes she found him to be handsome, but she quickly turned her thoughts away from that direction.

Then Yuya decided that if she were to die then she wouldn't give him the satisfaction of seeing her be afraid, so with her head up high and as much of a defiant look as she could muster in her eye she faced him.

"Demon if you are to kill me then do so, I will not show you fear and I will not beg so I suggest you get it over with."

Looking at the girl Kyo smiled widely and actually laughed at her false bravado, this actually frightened Yuya more because she didn't know why he was laughing.

"Girl I like you, you put up a good show, but I know you're trembling and I also know that you realize that you will die, but I like your put on about being courageous. I'll tell you what I need a cook so I will keep you around for that purpose, and when you're older and your breast have grown considerably then I might have other uses for you."

Blushing at what he was suggesting Yuya considered his offer and knew that she could do nothing, but accept it so she nodded her head.

"Umm…what's your name? Unless you want me to call you demon."

Turning his back to her he said, "Kyo."

And walking off he hollered at her to hurry up, that he had places to be and people to kill.

'Shesh, how cruel I better keep on my toes.'

Clutching her doll Yuya had no other possessions and quickly caught up to Kyo, the demon who had spared her life.

After a while of walking in utter silence Yuya wanted to talk, but was afraid of saying anything, the last thing she wanted to do was say the wrong thing.

Kyo had other things on his mind as well and wasn't paying much attention to her anyways.

'Why did I spare her life? She is just a meaningless girl nothing more, but could this be a sign of weakness, I should dispose of her soon.'

Shaking his head he glanced over at her and noticed her shivering and then the stale smell of urine reached his nose and he crinkled it in disgust.

'She's going to be more trouble than she's worth, but I could always sell her and make some money.' Deciding that he'd think more on that possibility Kyo turned at the smell of a hot spring and left a confused Yuya behind him.

"Girl I have little patience as it is, so don't fall behind."

At that she sped up and saw where he was going, it was a huge hot spring and the steam rose off the water in little vapors. It was a beautiful little place and Yuya wondered why he had wanted a dip in a hot spring when he had been so hell bent at getting to an inn before morning.

Then she noticed that he had laid his sword down and was undressing himself, quickly she turned her back to him, face reddened by seeing his naked form.

As she heard the water splash from his intrusion Yuya wondered if he'd let her sit by the main road and was about to ask when he interrupted the silence.

"Get in the water, you're the reason why we're taking time to wash."

Turning back around she looked above his red hair and asked why, his response was crass and rude, further embarrassing her.

"I can't stand the smell of stale piss and it's radiating from you so you are going to get it off and then we are moving on."

Conflicted as to whether she should undress or if she should wear her clothes into the hot spring Yuya stood thinking, but was stunned when firm hands slipped her out of her kimono and placed her on his lap.

"Kyo, what are you doing?" She tried to get off and cover herself, his hands kept her in place, but his stare cemented her to him.

"You were taking too long, I didn't think that undressing would be that difficult for you, but I guess I was wrong. It would seem that I have decided to pick the most ugly and stupidest girl I could find."

Shocked by his words Yuya clenched her fists and she had to stop herself from making a wise remark, instead she sulked as she sat in the hot water.

"I don't see why you should be embarrassed anyway you have absolutely nothing to look at, no breasts, no curves, nothing. And with that weird hair of yours and even more unusual eyes you should be aware that you're even more unattractive. I am most disappointed, but I take it you're about 12 so perhaps there's still hope for you to develop a little more."

Staring at him in an even more elevated anger Yuya wanted to make sure he'd never smile again, but he just smirked at the sour look she gave him.

'What's he talking about weird, he's got red hair and red eyes that's more weird than my hair color and eyes.'

Turning her head to the side she said suddenly, "My name is Yuya."

Grasping her chin with his forefingers he looked sharply into her green eyes and said, "Girl I didn't ask for your name and I do not care what it is. You are my property now and I will call you whatever I feel like, do you understand?"

Nodding her head she tried to keep the tears back, but one lone tear escaped and slid down her cheek.

Kyo saw this and with his tongue slid it up the curve of her face and savored the flavor of her fear. Yuya's heart stopped at the contact and she didn't make a move, but Kyo merely smiled at her reaction and dumped her off his lap while he stepped out of the water.

"Hurry up and get dressed."

Scrambling out of the water Yuya wondered what she had got herself into and prayed to the gods that she would survive.
