"You shouldn't protect me, I don't need help," he said watching the women.
Keda smiled and muttered to herself that he was just as stubborn as when he was young. To him she said "So you would have rather died then?"
"I don't plan on being killed, least of all by a mortal," he answered without one emotion crossing his face.
The women Keda crossed her arms across her chest, "Just because they're mortals doesn't mean they should be considered less dangerous then you and I," she paused and stared at him trying to see if she could see what he was feeling or thinking, she soon found out that that was impossible. I could always read his mind; she thought but quickly decided against it. Keda never liked to intrude on someone's privacy. "They're different from other mortals," she continued, "I guess they're not even mortals since they can live just as long as we can. And they have powers and probably could hurt you if they tried. Probably not kill but hurt, yah."
"Forgive me if I don't believe you," he said smiling. The smile was wicked and of pure amusement. He was probably thinking of what would happen if they decided to attack him. The smile made Keda feel that he was very dangerous but she already knew that, she always had.
"Believe what you want," Keda remarked calmly. She uncrossed her arms and pulled a device out of a pocket. It looked like a cellular phone but much more advanced. A small light was flashing, meaning she had message. She flipped the device open and read. A few seconds later she shut it and sighed.
"I got to go," she said. He nodded in acknowledgment. She turned to go but turned back. "Sesshoumaru," she said addressing the man. She paused shortly trying to find the right words. "Stop being so difficult." She waved using two fingers and disappeared.
Sesshoumaru smiled again, then turned away and left the clearing.
"What the hell was that about!" yelled a very tall, muscular, handsome, dark skinned man. He was yelling at Keda.
Besides the dark skinned guy and Keda others sat or stood in the room. Some had the same expression the man had others just looked confused and eager to find out more.
"Calm down Tonio. I'm sure Keda had her reasons for her actions," said a women coming over and placing a hand on the mans arm. The woman was beautiful but not quiet as beautiful as Keda. She had long black hair that fell to the middle of her back. She was of average height and had a great figure. Like Keda she looked young but upon looking into her eyes you saw great wisdom and age.
"I had the chance to kill the demon but you had to go and save it!" Tonio bellowed ignoring his wife's words. "Ana cut it out," he said turning quickly to his wife, "Keda helped the damn demon!"
Keda sighed annoyed. "I don't think I have to explain my actions to anyone," she said coldly. Keda glared at Tonio warning him to stop.
"Come on, Keda. Tell us why! I don't care that you helped the demon I just want to know why," said a very beautiful blonde haired woman. This was Safara, Keda's closest friend. Safara sat with her husband on the couch near by. To Keda's disgust they held each other close. Despite being close to Safara Keda could not except her husband, it might be the reason that when Keda first met him he was trying to kill her or the fact that he still secretly wanted too. Safara could sense that there was a reason, a good reason why Keda protected the demon.
"Why?" complained Keda.
Safara didn't answer she just said please. "Fine! The reason I didn't want him killed was because he wasn't the one who killed those villagers. I don't believe its right to just randomly go up to a demon and kill it unless it has done something evil."
Keda stopped when she realized that everyone was staring at her confused and suspiciously. It was Keth, Safara's husband who spoke first. " First off when did we start calling demons he's and she's, secondly did you see the demon not kill the villagers and finally who cares if that demon didn't kill them! It's a demon it will just kill someone else sooner or later, all demons are like that. They enjoy killing, it's a game for them."
Everyone other then Keth and Keda suddenly got very quiet. No one moved and barely breathed. All were waiting for Keda to lose control.
Keth just crossed the line saying that all demons were the same that they all killed for enjoyment. Keda was a demon, well half demon but since her mother still had powers for someone who wasn't a demon Keda ended up just as powerful maybe even more powerful then a full fledged demon. Keda also loved her father very much when he was alive; her father was a demon insulting him was probably the worst thing to say to Keda.
Keda took a deep breath and steadied her self. She forced her self to calm down before she lost control and did some real damage. "Excuse me I'm going to my room," she finally announced. With amazing speed Keda left the room.
"You jack-ass," yelled another dark haired woman from across the room where she leaned against the wall. This was Cynde Ana's twin sister. She was the same height as her sister and would have looked exactly the same if she didn't have her hair at shoulder length. Where Ana was calm Cynde was not. Ana was quiet and thought things through, Cynde was loud and rash.
"I can't believe you said that," Safara scolded Keth. She stood up and said, "I'm going to talk to Keda." Ana nodded and followed Safara out of the room. Cynde waited a few seconds before kissing her husband Simin on the cheek and skipping out after her sister and friend. The three men were left alone.
"What?!" asked Keth.
"You're a jerk!" the tall dark haired man named Simin accused. He stood up and left the room going in the opposite direction the girls went. Tonio followed muttering ass under his breath. Keth was left alone to think.
