Chapter 4 The Rescue
"Where are we?" Kiki asks Shadow.
"Well, according to this chart of this region, we have just walked into Western Territory. We should be coming up on a human village soon. Though I'm merely judging this by these fields that surround us." Shadow says tossing away the now useless chart.
"You're right. This is the farmlands of humans, at least I think it is. They look like the ones from back home anyways." Kiki says.
"You are correct. It's farmland, for humans. You ready? The village is just over that hill." Shadow warns. Kiki nods and sets her jaw while placing her right hand on the long sword at her waist. Shadow hardes her face and sets her right hand on her long sword that was tied to her back. Both demonessess walk over the hill and into the small human village. As they walked through the village, the humans looked at them with mixed emotions. The elderly looked at them with fear. The adults looked at them with anger. And finally the children looked at them with awe. Suddenly there was a sound like breaking pottery. Shadow and Kiki look at one another and then vanish before the humans eyes. Traveling at demon speed, the two demonessess get the the place the pot broke at in less than 3 seconds. There they found a mob of humans surrounding a shop. Outside the shop was a young teenage-looking kitsune(demon fox). She was slowly and carefully picking up the pieces of a large pot that had been shattered.
"Haruka Ashikage! You're finished! We no longer want you here! Leave now or we will kill you!" A human with a spear shouts at the kistune. Other humans jeer or spit at the demoness. Face like a thundercloud, Shadow struts forward with Kiki on her heels. Shadow shoves her way to the front, knocking some humans to the ground in her fury. Angry, some turn to shove back when they notice her demon features, such as her wolf ears and tail. They notice the same features on Kiki and some try to flee. Quickly the rest get out of Shadow's and Kiki's way. Those who don't move are cut down by Shadow's sword.
"Why are you demons here. You'd best leave or-!" the human leader starts before Kiki has him by the throat.
"Or what? You'll kill us? Ha! We are demonesses of the East. We come the most powerful demon clans in the East. As such, we are the most powerful demonesses to come from our clans. So you'd best leave or ELSE!" Kiki says growling. Kiki then drops the human leader on his ass.
"You'd best listen to them Shinji. Even a weak human like you can sense their power can't you?" Haruka warns the human leader. Nodding, Shinji leaves with his mob right behind him as they disperse. Haruka continues to pick up the broken pieces of pottery. Sheathing her sword, Shadow kneels and starts to pick up the pieces of pottery as well, while Kiki gaurds their backs. As they both grab for the sme piece, Shadow speaks.
"My name is Shadow Shadow-Wolf. This is my friend and companion Kiki Tagashi. Are you okay?" Shadow asks kindly.
"I am Haruka Ashikage. And yes I am fine, thank you. In case you can't tell I'm a kitsune. You're a wolf demoness and your friend is a panther demoness correct?" Haruka says.
"Correct. What do you do here. If you don't mind me asking?" Shadow inquires.
"No problem. I'm a herbalist. I can cure humans and demons. I came to this human village because my cousin Shippo and his father were murdered by a pair of lightning demons." Haruka answers calmly.
"I am sorry for your loss. I'm here because I ran away from a marriage while Kiki was banished from her clan. The two of us are traveling together. You should join us." Shadow says cheerfully. Haruka thinks about it for a few minutes.
"Why not? It'll get me away from here. So, yea I'll come with you two." Haruka says. Shadow and Kiki smile and help Haruka to stand. Together, the threeof them pack up Haruka's things and move out. Heading further West. To find an adventure and love.
