Suddenly Aijou found herself being embraced by Kazuki "Aijou I don't want you to get hurt…I couldn't live with myself if anything were to happen to you…."
Aijou's eyes filled with tears as she whispered "oh Kazuki….I can't allow you to come with me…what if something were to go terribly wrong? I couldn't bare anything to happen to you of all people; Kazuki please let me go I have to do this alone….I"
Aijou did not get to finish her sentence for Kazuki caught her lips with his. At first all Aijou did was stay still as her face turned a bright red. But slowly she began to kiss back. As if it was only natural, to kiss Kazuki. The kiss broke when air was needed.
"Aijou I won't let you go on your own" he said to her, his eyes glazed
"Kazuki….."Aijou said softly, she found her self pulling him closer to herself "then we'll go together…"
The pulled apart and head over to where she had left the first scroll, then she began to write another scroll.
Father,
Kazuki is coming with me, I know in my first scroll I said I'd come back to find the one I love, but I believe he has been right under my nose the whole time. Kazuki and I will watch over each other, keep each other safe. I love you father but this is the chose I have made I hope you can forgive me someday.
Love Aijou
With the second scroll placed right by the first one, the two left the cave before the others could return from their hunt.
Chapter4: running away
Taro entered the cave after the mornings hunt, which went quiet well he had to say. The clan had hunted down 5 wild pigs and 2 dears, which meant there was plenty of food to go around that day. Taro walked to Aijou's sleeping place with a deer in his hands, only to find that she was not there. Come to think of it Kazuki wasn't out on the morning hunt this morning and was also no where to be seen. This confused him a bit but soon he figured they went out to train as they usually did together or maybe they were at the river hunting for fish, Aijou always loved fish the most. So with that thought to ease his mind he head to his sleeping place to eat in peace.
"What's this?" Taro said to himself as he spotted the scrolls Aijou had left
He picked the first one up ad began to read. His eyes went wide and he quickly grabbed the other scroll hoping it would say that this was some hind of cruel joke to make him worry. But the second scroll confirmed his worst fears…Aijou was gone…
(Aijou and Kazuki)
The two headed west, knowing it was most likely the only place their clan would never dare search for them there. Plus it was a great place to start searching for the silver warrior. Kazuki and Aijou walked side by side, hand in hand. As happy as they could be. They were in love and on a quest together. Nothing could be better. They made sure they covered their tracks and crossed as many rivers and streams as possible so that they couldn't be tracked by their clan, or any other demon for that matter. When the sun was high in the sky it was time to take a break. They had already traveled so far into the western lands and their legs to tire to take another step.
So they settled down under a near by Sakura tree. Aijou was soon fast asleep in Kazuki's arms. He smiled down at her. She looked so peaceful when she slept. Like she hadn't a care in the world. How he wished that were true. He wanted her to feel as carefree as she looked in her sleep. And now that she knew how he felt things would only continue to become more difficult and the journey would be harsh. He couldn't help but wonder what was going to happening when they finally found the silver warrior? Would he kill them for coming to find him? Would the silver warrior only kill him and take Aijou as his personal slave and make her do everything of his hearts desire? What would happen to Aijou if he, Kazuki were to die and fail in protecting her?
He looked down at her again and pulled her closer to him and held her tight in his protective arms. He would never let any of that happen to Aijou. He would protect her, and let no harm come to her, this he swore on his life. He loved her, always had and no one was going to take her away from him.
After an hour or two of watching Aijou sleep, Kazuki caught the scent of their clan heading right towards them. Meaning they had to move now and quick! If they didn't want to be found that is. But how did their clan follow their trail? Maybe it was pure luck on their clan's part to head this way. No that couldn't be it, it had to be the wind they had been sitting in the same place for more than an hour or so, the wind must have taken their scent to the clan. In a flash Kazuki jumped to his feet with the sleeping Aijou still in his arms. He used his feet to throw her bag into the air and caught it with his teeth. And he was off, running towards a human village hoping the human smell would throw the clan off track and maybe if they were lucky the clan would become confused. Quickly he made his way threw the human village which went into panic as he ran threw it. Everywhere he heard screams of terror like…
"A DEMON!"
And
"RUN FOR YOUR LIVES!"
Or
"PROTECT THE WOMAN AND CHILDERN!"
But his favorite was
"WHERE'S A PRISTESS WHEN YOU NEED ONE!"
He couldn't help but laugh as the humans scrambled to get out of his way. Now he would never cause them any harm he just thought it was funny how scared humans got every time they saw a demon. He suddenly felt a slight movement in his arms; he looked down to see Aijou was waking up.
"you can sleep threw just about anything, but screaming humans" Kazuki teased as she noticed she was in his arms and running from something.
"well I suddenly here people screaming and wake up to find myself in your arms, and not where I fell asleep at what do you think?"
"feh"
"why am I in your arms?"
"uh"
"and why are we running?"
"well you see since you were asleep I thought I'd let you sleep, you looked tired and our clan was coming our way so I grabbed you and your bag and began running ways from them"
"and you decide to run threw a human village to through them off our trail?"
"that and I love to here them scream as they scramble out of my way"
Aijou glared at him.
"what I'd never hurt them I just think it's funny pulse with all their running around the village stirs all kinds of smells and that would help us"
Kazuki smiled at Aijou as she rolled her eyes at him.
'He's such a nork' she thought to her self (for those who don't know what a nork is it's a dork and a nerd put together, thus you get a nork)
