Karigan got mad. She didn't care if he had called her short or anything about her personality but she hated that he was putting her race down. She grabbed her necklace and threw it up.

"Don't ever bad mouth my race!" She caught the once necklace but now a sword and charged at him.

Chapter 2- The item from the sky

The demon chuckled with delight and began to charge. She dodged his front leg and leapt up and took a swung at his forehead. The sword made a ting noise and as she landed she hopped back two steps. She looked at him closer and seen his body shine. 'Crap he has his full shield already!' She taught and dodged another attack. She was trying to quickly come up with a plan to get rid of him so as she dodged she swung at him anyways even though she knew it wouldn't. She ran behind a fence to catch her breath when a girl crawled to her.

"Ma'am that bug, its stomach isn't shining. Is that a weak point?" Karigan slowly looked at the girl in a red sleeping cap and blinked then turned to the Botarg and slightly moved her head down to look at his stomach. It was low to the ground, scrapping it but you could tell it wasn't like the rest of his body. She gave a little grin revealing a dull fang and turned back to the little girl but she was gone.

When the demon finally found her he started to call out. Annoyed by his voice she rolled out then stood strait. She looked at the by standers and got an idea. She concentrated and thought.

'Knew it. The ground is dead. There is no way a plant will grow here.' She then ran a bit from the Botarg and shouted. "Hey! Does anyone know where a plant is? It has to be potted!" Everyone looked at her weird but they ran off.

She turned around just to get tossed. She hit the side of a house pretty hard but was still conscious but heaving breathing. She went to clench her fist but noticed her sword was gone. "Bushwah!" She looked around and spotted it. "all the way over there." She sighed and went to run for it but got batted around and was wondering where his speed came from all a sudden.

She rolled on the ground from the last bat and stopped. She ached in pain and felt so pathetic but she was stronger then this. She blamed it on just waking up and how it clouded her mind when she got jumped on. The bug semi-crushed her and was chuckling and drooling. She made a disgusting face and tried to push him off.

"Two things, one eeew drooling?! Two your stomachs like friggin glue!" She went to go look at her sword but it was gone. She was so confused but relied what had happened when she heard a shriek. She recognized the voice of the shriek when she actually yelled. It was Koran's mother. She was yelling at him to get back but the Botarg got to him first. He went away from Karigan and went after Koran pinning the 8 year old to the side of a house. He started to choke but managed to choke out words.

"Kari…gan…catch..." He tossed the necklace as far as he could and Karigan caught it by sliding like a baseball man sliding to a base. It went back to sword form and a man called out shouting and Karigan turned to him. In his hands was a potted lily and she grinned.

"Toss it over!" She yelled back and he whipped it at her. She had a shock face on but managed to catch it "I said Toss not kill me!" She turned to the Botarg and was throwing random item she found on the ground. He finally turned and let Koran go and went back after Karigan. She put the pot down and ran far then turned back.

'come on you stupid bug…Now!" Her hands shot up and so did the plant. As it went higher it grew right under his stomach she made it go higher and tossed him up. The bug was 3 feet higher then the plant and rising and she seen the opportunity. She ran and leapt in the air and slicing his stomach. He let out a cry as his blood flowed down and he landed in the puddle. When she landed she wiped of what was again a necklace and put it back on and walked to Koran. She had a look at him.

"Lucky, he's just passed out from lack of air. He'll be fine." She said to his mother and began to yawn She turned around and headed back to the room she rented and the people that watched her walk away noticed her wounds healing.

"Are you sure you have to leave?" Koran asked Karigan with a bit of a pout. She nodded.

"Yea sorry have things to take care of."

"Well, come visit anytime you are more then welcome here Miss. Kari"

"Kari will do." She said with a smile at the villagers "I will visit." She turned around and gave a slight wave. She made sure she packed enough food in till the next place and looked up to the sky. She blinked for a bit because she thought her eyes were deceiving her but nope something was up there. It was dropping and fast. She watched it for a bit then realized it was heading for the forest. She got nosy and wanted to see what it was so she ran as fast as she could to it.

"What is that? A dead bird? Maybe it's a misfit shooting star!" She ran a bit faster and finally hit the forest. Leaping up higher and higher from tree to tree she finally got to the tip. Standing on one foot she looked around in the sky. "Hey where'd it go?" She went to look a different way when she got hit by something. She automatically huggeld the item and moved branches and up came a man eater plant. It caught her and the item in the mouth. It then grew down and slowly spit her out.

"You're the best Toco!" She smiled at the plant and it licked her face and disappeared. She then looked in her arms. "Kyaa! It's a little boy!" She huggled him and noticed a scratch on his face so she put her hand over his cheek and healed it. He had short brown hair with one long bang. He was wearing grey old baggy clothes. She sighed and put him on her back and started to wander more.

She wandered in the forest more when her stomach growled. She ate breakfast in our time three hours ago. She didn't want to wait the food in her pouch either because she knew the next place was in two days but she was hungry. "So hungie can't go on." She moaned.

"Then just eat the boy, let your demon take over for once." A smug voice of a young woman floated to Karigan. She stopped to look at her with a pathetic face on.

"No I'm not barbaric like you Sicilia." The woman stepped out from the shadows. She had long hair down to her waist and she wore a dark blue Kimono with lighter blue butterfly patterns. She smirked making her pointy ears go up and fangs show. Her yellow slitted eyes glowed.

"Now, now I won't tell, well, maybe your uncle." She grinned and it made Karigan pissed. Her face went to pathetic to serious.

"He's not my uncle! Now be a nice Kitty and Shoo." The Panther demon shrugged and walked past Karigan.

"I was just wandering around and smelt your disgusting stench and thought I'd say hello." She said as she slid her soft hands on her Kitana that laid at her side and took off.

"Stupid cat." She then began to walk. "Man that didn't help my hunger at all." She went back to her pathetic face.
