And he bow to the audience and walk away.

Chapter one: And in a rainy night…

 Is a cold and rainy night. On the shrine Belldandy say:

Keiichi is better you close the windows. Is getting very cold now.

And the young man nod. And he say:

It sure is. Don't even seen like is spring.

And the goddess nod agreeing with him. Very later on the night both of then are on they respectives rooms sleeping. And the rain keep falling strongly. Running over the shrine steps a young man with long black hair wearing black clothes with a white shirt is holding over his shoulders a young woman with long light brown hair, two cat like ears with light brown fur, a same color tail, she is wearing a brown leather jacket and a brown leather tight skirt that go to the middle of her thighs, under the jacket a tight white shirt, brown stockings, brown boots, thigh high black stockings, brown leather gloves and a red bandana on her neck. The young man has a katana on his waist. On his back have several arrows nailed on his flesh. On his left leg have a deep gash on his thigh. On his left arm have a broken and cracked gauntlet. He have many cuts on his arm. His face is dirty with blood. The girl that is conscious say:

Master you don't have to carry me anymore.

And he say:

Don't say that. You are very hurt. You broke your leg and they almost killed you.

And she also have many wounds. And she say:

But you are hurt too.

And he say:

Stay still Kourou. We are near of the shrine. In there we will be safe. They can't get in the holy ground.

And he pass by the torii of the shrine. He enter on the main building of the shrine. It is empty taking out a Buda statue. The young couple is dripping water and blood on the waxed floor. He close the door and ignite a small metal blue flame on his right hand. It lights the large room and he walk to a corner. He dismiss the flame and carefully put the cat girl on the floor. And she say:

Master you have to rest.

And he say:

I will.

And he walk to the statue and see some candles. He light then with his flame and the room light up. He walk to her and sit on the floor tired. He pick from a small bag pack dry blanket and he say:

Get on it. I will watch.

And she say:

No. now I have to remove the arrows. They can be poisoned.

And he nod. She carefully remove the arrows from him. He grit his teeth in pain and hold up screams. And later she toss the last arrow on the floor. And she bandage his wounds with bandages taken from the bag pack. And she say:

Rest master. I will watch.

And he say:

I will watch. You have been thru a hard ordeal. You deserve some rest.

And she nod and lean on his also wet body. She cover him too and she fell in sleep. Sometime pass and the exhaustion and the blood loss make his fall on sleep too. She wake up and look at him. And she say:

You are a poor liar master.

And she get up and laid him carefully on the floor. She put his head over the bag pack as it was a pillow and cover him. A lightning fall and she remove her red bandana and she tie it gently on his long hair. She take her belt. A large black leather belt. She put it beside him. She carefully take out from her hands the gloves. She remove her jacket and fold it neatly and put it beside him. Now only wearing the boots, the skirt, the white shirt and the stockings she move to him and kindly kiss him on the lips. And she say:

Sayonara master. I really loved to serve you.

And she get up with tears and begun to walk away. On the door she Belldandy on her goddess attire. And Belldandy say:

Why you are leaving your master alone and wounded in here?

And Kourou say:

I have too. My master is being chased because of me. I am a spirit. Some demons are after me. My master rescued me but he got hurt. Please megami-dono heal him with your powers. And say to him that I really love him and that I want to him move on o his life.

And Belldandy say:

You can say it by yourself. If you truly love him stay here with him the demons can't get in.

And Kourou say:

I know. But more than anything I wish to him a happy life. With or with out me. I can't bear the thought of him getting hurt because me again.

And she say:

If he love you back he will do anything to save you.

And Kourou say:

He is my master. My friend. My family and my mate. I wish to protect him. This is the only way that I can think of.

And she say:

Why you serve him?

And she say:

I serve him because I want to. We bonded by my wish and his acceptance. We become friends and family living together for many years. And mates by the love that grew during the years.

And Kourou pass beside Belldandy and say:

Please don't let my master die.

And Belldandy say:

I will help him. But please think over this again.

And Kourou say:

I am firm on my decision. Tell him that I love him. And that to him move on my death. Tell him that I will always keep him on my heart.

And Belldandy nod. Another lightning fall. Kourou leave the shrine and run away. Belldandy kneel beside the young man and heal him. Running away from the shrine Kourou leap over a tree and move with an amazing speed and dexterity on the branches. And she hear Belldandy voice:

Why you are moving away so fast?

And Kourou think:

Why you can speak to my mind?

And the goddess say:

Is a very powerful spell. I want to know more about you.

And Kourou smile on the rain and on the cold night and she say:

I am putting more distance as I can between master and me. So when he wakes the demons will be away. And he will be out of danger.

And Belldandy say:

You said that you two are together for years. How you two met?

And Kourou say:

I guess that I can remember of my most happy years now. Since I am going to die I want to recall my most treasured memories.

Belldandy smile sadly on the shrine still healing the unconscious young man. And she say:

You can still live. I can help you. I can use my powers to vanquish the demons.

And Kourou say:

They are not the first group. And they will not be the last. My presence attract then.

And Belldandy say:

You are a spirit of the earth. And animal force. Why the demons try to attack you?

And Kourou say:

I am bonded to him. I serve a human. And with that I gained more powers and energy. The demons want to steal the powers and the energy from me. They also want to kill him. Steal his soul to gain his own powers.

And Belldandy say:

His powers?

And Kourou say:

He is not a normal human. He was trained by an old demon hunter and his family. That hunter was a good yokai. He took him under his guard when very young. And he gained many abilities with the training. He can kill demons and yokais. He have a very strong energy.

And Belldandy say:

I have heard of the hunters. But they was extinguished many years ago.

And Kourou say:

He is the last living hunter.

And Belldandy say:

Why you serve him?

And Kourou say:

When I had only six years old I was a puppy in the best way to explain it. I was an orphan. I walked on the woods and small villages searching for food and shelter. It never lasted more than a couple of days. Stray dog packs and stray cats banded to fight me. Demons too. I could only run. Once some demons was chasing me. I was very wounded and weak. They was about to kill me. And he appeared. He killed the demons. They was very weak. But for a kid who was starving and wounded they was too strong. I thought that he would kill me too. I fainted tired. When I woke I was on a small shack. It was old but it have walls and the wind or the rain couldn't get inside. On the center of the small shack it had a metal bucket with a fire in there. Beside it have a large pile of wood. And some food and water. I proceeded to eat the food not caring about anything. I noticed later that I was covered with a cloak. It was his cloak. But in that moment I only cared to eat.

And Belldandy say:

What happened?

And Kourou say:

I also failed to notice that he was sitting on there too. He only watched while I was eating. And it was the first time that I have eaten a warm meal. When I finished eating, I sited on the wood floor and noticed the cloak. It was the reason that I was feeling warm. My clothes back then was only an old ripped sheet and some panties that I stole from a clothes line a long time before that incident. I looked around and see him. I scared backed up to a corner. He only stayed on the same place and said in a soft tone that he was not going to hurt me. And if he was he would not wait to me wake up. Or feed me. Still feeling suspicious I walked closer and sited back near of the fire. That was the first time in many that I was feeling warm and with out hunger. He got up that have scared me. He put a knife on the floor and said that he would come back in the morning with some more food and clothes to me. And that I should use that knife to defend myself if I needed to. He said to keep the cloak and to feed the fire to keep the shack warm. I distrustfully nodded and he walk out of the shack. When he got away I felt that part of the warmth of the shark have left with him. Not the warmth of the fire or the cloak. But one that I never felt before.

And Belldandy say:

Human warmth. Kindness.

And Kourou say:

Yes. I was very confused. Being a stray orphan I never trusted I anyone. Or was cared by someone. Specially a stranger. He was from my same age. I picked the knife and sited on the place where he was. Feeling tired and comfortable I fell in sleep. When I woke I found the shack still warm. The fire burning on the embers and I tossed some wood on the embers and soon the fire was up again. Wrapped on the cloak and holding the knife tight on my hand I left the shack. I saw that was on the middle of the woods. But unlike all the others woods that I have gone that one felt welcoming. As if the spirits of the trees and from all the others was welcoming me to there. Saying that I could live in there. And he was walking to the shack. I could see him getting closer and got scared. Part of me was screaming to me run away and hide until he left. Another part was screaming to stay there and stay with him. He was carrying a paper bag. It was large. He saw me and smiled. Since I have never seen a smile that stunned me. He stayed on a distance from me, knowing that I was scared and confused. He placed the paper bag on the wood ground and said that in there have food and clean clothes. He walked away. When I watched him leave part of me cheered that and other was crying because he left. I picked the bag and walked back in the shack. Not feeling in the mood to explore the new area. I decided to eat only enough to fill me and save the rest of the food for later. I dressed the clothes that was on the bag. It was a plain white cotton dress. I took out the sheet and the old panties. It also have one pair of panties in there. It was a bit loose. But very comfortable. The soft fabric felt so good on my skin. The feeling was almost sexual of so good.

And Belldandy blush. And Kourou say:

I only thought that years later. But the feeling of the clothes was simply great. And the clothes did not smell bad as my old clothes. I took then off and I walked out the shack. I found a small river and I bathed. In all the years the thought of take a bath never once came to me even when I got the chance. But in that time I wished to keep myself clean for those clothes. I also decided to wash my old clothes on the clear water. Later on the shack I hung then in a corner surprised with the change of color and I reminded that the sheet was white and not brown when I stole it. I dressed the dress again and I checked the shack. It was not too large but not small. But it was a large place for a kid. It had many boxes. Most filled with junk. I found a old mirror in there. It was in a wood case and was not broken. I took a look on my face. I never before took a good look on myself. I could see that my face was showing that I was used to live alone. I kept that mirror. And I also tried to fix my hair in a pleasant way. Later on that day he came again. I could see his surprised face to see me clean and with the dress. He again said a few words and left the food and left. Day by day I begun to get used to him. The part of me that wanted to stay away from him was saying to me go away with what I got and never return. But the part of me that wanted to stay was growing stronger on each time that he visited me. Before I could really notice he was giving the bag to me.

And Belldandy say:

Like taming a wild horse.

And Kourou say:

Something like that. And after that he also begun to give me chocolates. I that was never tasted something so sweet loved that. In one month I was speaking with him normally. He stayed with me by longer periods now. And I used to get myself dirty with the chocolate. And he cleaned my face and hands with a handkerchief. And when he left I got very sad and lonely. When he arrived I got really happy. And I was bathing everyday and washing my dress in every two days. He once gave a soap bar. It was funny to see him explaining it to me. Passed two months I waited by his visits with eager. I cleaned the shack every day with a old broom that I found in there. The shack with the time was looking more and more with a small house. He have given to me a blanket and a small and thin mattress. But that felt much more comfortable than the floor. I didn't have to steal, or hunt for food. I didn't have to fear dog packs or demons. I didn't felt cold or hunger. And with him I was not alone anymore.

And Belldandy say:

You got a good life.

And Kourou say:

Yes. It was wonderful. Even when he left I would wait for him eagerly. We talked and played. Once and a while he would get me new dresses and underwear. He even got me sandals to walk in the woods. It was all nice and perfect. One day he could not come. And I got really sad. And on the other he didn't come too. On the third day I putted on my dress and the cloak and picked the knife and left the shack after him. I followed a small trail made by his constant walking in there and arrived in a large mansion. It was a Japanese mansion. I very carefully followed his scent and found him. When I found him I got shocked. He was covered in wounds. He was sleeping alone. Then I understand why he could not visit me. I got close to him and he waked. He said in a sad tone that he was sorry for not have gone visit me. I said that it was all right. I sited beside his futon and held his hand. He didn't seem to mind that.

And Belldandy say:

What happened?

And Kourou say:

I didn't want to leave him. And a old woman got in the room. I surprised reacted and picked the knife to defend him. The old woman smiled a bit surprised and she said "so you are the reason that he is leaving so often." The act of the woman surprised me. She walked near and I said to her back off that I would not allow to him get hurt. The old woman smile get wider and she said that she was there to treat him. And that he was her grandson. She only took the knife from my hands and put on the sheath that was tied on my waist by a small cord. And she said that I would not need that. I was suspicious of the old woman. But she have this aura of non violence that make me not attack. She only treated him and said this "you can stay here as long you want to. No one will mind." And she left. I stayed in there. I met many other people. But I stayed away from then and only get close of him. I could see the people in there. No one looked at me with suspicious or with despise. It was a kind look. A normal look. After he recovered I moved back to the shack. He keep going in there everyday. He asked me if I wanted to go to the mansion. But I said that I liked the shack. It was true. He didn't mind and he keep the visits. One day the old woman came between his visits. I was surprised but I didn't react trying to defend my territory. And she sited on the shack porch and she talked to me. And then every day at that time she would come too. One day the old woman entered in the shack by my invitation. It was raining I didn't wanted to her get wet. After I light the fire she said that the shack was looking very good. Very different of the mess room that it was. I answered to her saying that it was the place where he would come and I wanted to be at least clean. The old lady smiled. She took brush from her kimono and she said that would brush my hair. I let her do it. It felt good. It was the same feeling that I got playing with him. Only a bit different I looked in the mirror and she said that even damaged as it was my hair was very good. She gave me the brush and teached me how to use it. Slowly I became more used with other people presence. In six months I wandered in the mansion looking for then. No one in there minded me. It was like the fact of being a cat girl didn't bothered then at all. And once I met a old man. It was the elder of the mansion. The leader of then. I got very scared of him. I hold closer on my master for safety. My master stood by me as the elder talked to him menacing. After a long talk the man gave a smile. It ease a bit my fear. And he patted my head and messed with my hair that I got so much trouble combing it and said that I could stay in there. I decided to not refuse him because he was big and menacing. My master and I moved my few belongings to a room next to his room on the mansion. I still walked to the shack remembering of my happy moments in there. But I realized that in the mansion I would not be alone and I could be with him.

And Belldandy say:

And you two stayed together?

And Kourou say:

Yes. After the old woman begun to go to the shack she begun to teach me how to read and write. I used my time to learn with her in the mansion. When master have to train I was learning. They said that I learned very fast. And soon I could read and write kanjis. I learned all that a kid could learn in the school and more. I was also teached how to fight. And some of the ways of the magic. Once I was reading a book that talked about familiars. That time my master and I have eleven years old. I learned about the bonding ritual. And how to perform. After learn how to perform I talked to him and he accepted. We did the simple ritual and I became his familiar. His family didn't say a thing about it. Two years later the mansion was attacked. Everyone was killed taking out us. We was ordered to escape. It was hard see our family be killed in front of our eyes. We couldn't do anything. After the attackers have gone we buried the dead. And walked away. We both very sad and grieving they deaths. We begun to hunt demons and evil yokais. We lived together and that helped to minimize the pain.

And Belldandy say:

I am sorry to bring up painful memories.

And Kourou stop in a tree branch and say:

No problem. I like to remember then sometimes. Thanks to then and him I am what I am now. After that day we passed by hard times. As well good times. We fell in love by other and become lovers. We traveled around the country and part of the world. I would not trade my memories for nothing. My love, my family, my friends and my master. It is my everything.

And Kourou start to run again. And Belldandy think:

That is a very beautiful feeling. But her death will bring him much pain.

And in a large open field Kourou stop. Is daybreak now. The sun begun to rise. The rain get weaker until become a light pouring. And she wait in there. On the shrine Belldandy keep healing the young man hoping to heal him before the spirit is killed.

End of the chapter one:

Benji walk in the stage and say:

He take a pause and say:

And he bow to the audience and leave the stage. The red curtains fall and the light goes off.
