Chapter 3

All Grown Up

6 Years later...

"Reigen!Wake up!!!"Kirai said happily."What!?Did you set the tent on fire again?"Reigen replied tiredly."Um...yeah,but thats not what im waking you up for."Kirai began."Dont you know what day it is???"She questioned."Um..."Reigen said confused."ITS OUR BIRTHDAY YOU BAKA!"Kirai shouted."Oh yeah!How could i have forgotten?!"Reigen said with a faint smile.

Kirai and Reigen exchanged birthday preasants.

"Well I guess we should go now."Said Kirai."Yeah."Reigen replied.

They started walking down the path they had picked out on the map.As they were walking,they came across a village."We can stay here for a little while."Reigen said."Hey Reigen...whats that in the tree?"Ased Kirai."Um...i dunno.Go poke it."

They walked up to the tree and saw that the thing in it was a boy."Whos he?"Asked Reigen."Hes the emperor!I DONT FREAKING KNOW WHO HE IS!!!!!"Kirai shouted.Supprisingly,this little outburst didnt wake up the snorring boy.

Kirai then reached for his hand,laughing at his loud snors as she did so.She pulled on his hand.He fell out of the tree,making a loud thump as he hit the ground.

He stood up and brushed himself off.He then looked up at Kirai and Reigen.He stood there for a moment,thinking.Then fear swept over his face.He turned pale.The boy started running in circles around the tree,shreiking like a girl being chased by a snake.

Reigen tripped the boy.He then rolled up into a ball and started whimpering.Reigen rolled her eyes and began to walk away.Kirai sighed,then hurried after her sister.

Reigen looked over at Kirai,who seamed to be pouting.She stopped,wondering what was wrong with Kirai.Then she rolled her eyes once more."Fine.Go ahead."She said to Kirai.

Kirai ran back to the tree,placed her hand on its trunk.She looked down and closed her eyes,as if concentrating.She then began to look up slowly,an evil grin spread across her face as she did so.The boy looked at her,puzzled.Then,the tree blew up!

Burning cherry blossoms floated down around her.The boy looked at her with amazment."How could this girl have so much power?"He thought.He then remembered who the 2 girls were.

Satticfied with herself,Kirai joined Reigen and began walking again.

The boy started to follow Kirai and Reigen,trying not to be noticed."You do know that we can both hear and smell you,right."Reigen said with a grinn.They stopped and turned to face the boy."Whats your name?"Kirai asked."Oh.Um...uh..."They boy attempted to answer."Nice to meet you oh um uh."Kirai said with a smerk.

"My name is Isamashii Kuroki."He said."How ironic.Your first name means the exact opposite of what you are."Reigen announced."But then again,you obviously know who we are and yet,you still follow us.""Either you realy are brave or your just plane stupid."Kirai added.

"Im not stupid and I admit Im not the smartest person in the world,but I need your help."Isamashii retorted."Why would we help you?"Reigen asked coldly."Um...Uh..."Isamashii attempted to answer."Well thats a great reason."Kirai said with an evil grin."I need you to train me.You both are so powerful and you know such advanced magic.I doubt Id be able to trian myself."Isamashii said,trying not to sound scared."And why would we train you?Your just a week little human.We dont know you and I doubt your plannin on payin us."Reiegen said,staring at Isamashii coldly."Please,at least let me travel with you."pleaded Isamashii."If you get on our nerves..."Kirai began."It wont be pretty."Finished Reigen."Okay.Ill do my best."Isamashii said with a smile.

The new trio continued walking down the path Reigen and Kirai had chosen urlier that day.

Isamashii followed behind the girls.He had heard of the demon girls who traveled around the country,but this was the first time the stories he had heard had proven to be true.Untill they pulled him out of the tree he had thought they were just a made-up story ment to scare kids.

"Um so...Which is which?"asked Isamashii."Huh?"They answered,not knowing what he ment."Which of you is Kasai and which is Reigen?"He asked."First of all...Its Kirai not Kasai."Kirai announced,annoyed at his mistake."And that would make me Reigen."She said,starting to laugh."Oh!Um...sorry Kirai."He said embarrassed.

They came upon a river and made camp.Kirai started a fire and Reigen started rummidging through their stuff,trying to find her sword.Isamashii was splashing around in the river attempting to catch a fish.

"Damn boy!Aint you caught that fish yet?!"Kirai shouted at Isamashii."If its so easy then you do it!"He retorted."Fine,I will."Kirai rolled her eyes and jumped in the river.She came up with a fish in her hand."Wow.That was so hard."She said without expression.Reigen began laughing while Isamashii turned red.Kirai walked to the fire and through the fish in."Your suppost to put it on a stick."Isamashii announced.Kirai glared at him."Maybe she should put you on a stick."Reigen said,still laughing.
