Last Time:

I stood up and hugged him. "Thank you, father, I'll see you around."

He left and I stood there, not sure if I really wanted to sleep in here. I left the room and walked quietly to Kalot and Saiqua's room. The two men were on the floor, while Kauris took the bed. I smiled and laid down on the bed next to Kauris and pulled my blanket that I brought around me and fell asleep.

Now:

When I woke up in the morning, it was to Kauris moving into a fetal position. I crawled off the bed silently and snuck out of the room. In the hall, I froze as I saw Ikaku waiting with a confused expression. I wrapped my blanket around me and walked down the hall to the inner courtyard. As soon as I was on the bridge, I stopped and turned to face Ikaku.

"Are you okay, Kina?" Ikaku stood a few yards away.

"No," I whispered, hanging my head, "I have to tell you somethi-"

"If it's about the summoning of Nanaki, I heard it all last night," he grumbled.

"I should have told you before all of this happened between us…"

"Well, should've, would've, could've… it's too late now. Stop worrying about something that you forgot to do." He walked to me. "Just worry about the future and finding the last of the warriors."

"What are you going to do now?" I whispered, looking at him.

"I'll stay by your side just like the warriors. I'll protect you just like I promised." His arms came around me and he held me the way a normal friend would.

"We should probably leave today… see if we can get any leads on the other warriors. Sooner we find them, the sooner we can be together," I whispered, laying my head on his chest.

"Okay, let's go tell everyone and get ready." He released me and walked away, leaving me on the bridge.

I sighed and walked to my room. I got in the tub and sighed. I wished that time would stop for that moment, so I would not have to worry about anything or anyone. But…it was not to be, there was a knock on the bedroom door and someone entered the room. I hurried out of the tub and was in the process of wrapping a towel around me when Harka entered, wearing casual clothing.

"So-sorry, I did knock…" he turned a light pink which made him look even more handsome.

"I heard," I spoke, making my voice empty of any emotion.

"I'm sorry for angering you yesterday, I was way out of line," he whispered, looking at me intently.

"I am, too. I should have listened to Dracolt and calmed down." I walked past him into the bedroom, to my bag.

I slid on a pair of white booty shorts under my towel then dropped the towel. I heard Harka gasp seen the mauled skin as I pulled on a red battle tunic. I sighed and pulled my hair over my shoulder and braided it.

"What happened? I've never seen such a horrible wound," he whispered.

"It happened the first time I saw Ikaku sealed to a tree," I replied, not looking at him.

"Did you always love him?"

"Hardly," I scoffed. "We were fighting even during the few times that I was bleeding really badly, this back injury being one of them. The wound on my arm that you healed was the other. Once I decided to become the Priestess of Nanaki, he started to feel protective," I sighed.

"So…are you leaving soon?" he changed the subject.

"Yeah… You better not be planning on coming," I growled looking at him. "I won't have the country lose their future king to some demon. I'm adding myself into that category.

"Kina, plea-"

"NO!" I growled and he stepped back and fear sparked in his eyes. I closed my eyes, knowing that my marks had appeared. "Please stay here for my sake," I whispered.

"Very well," he sounded defeated. "I'll stay for you."

I turned away from him, keeping my eyes closed. "I think its best you leave," I whispered.

He left quietly, but slowly. Once I knew he was gone, I fell to my knees, crying. I felt the vision come before I really knew what was happening.

We were in a village and someone was talking to us and pointed to a place on the map. We all smiled and headed back to the hotel to sleep. Ikaku and Saiqua headed down to the bar, to have a few drinks then the screams of villagers echoed up to us. I walked outside slowly and carefully and saw the village slaughtered and Sosuke standing on top of Ikaku's dead body, smiling.

"This is what happens when you threaten the great Lord Sosuke," he growled.

"Kina!" someone slapped me and I opened my eyes. Ikaku knelt in front of me, confused. "Are you okay?"

"Yeah, just tired I guess," I smiled, glad that the bleeding part of the visions were done forever. I could easily lie to everyone about my visions if needed.

"We're all ready to go. Finish getting dressed and we can leave the city," he laughed at me. He stood up and started to leave.

"Please…please don't leave me alone," I whispered.

"Did something happen?"

"Harka came in a little while ago and I almost lost control again…"

He pulled me to my feet and wrapped his arms around my waist. "It's okay," he whispered into my hair. "It will take some time to for you to be able to control the demon."

I sighed then went back to my bag and pulled on a pair of black pants and put on a white corset. I slid on a pair of knee-boots and strapped my dagger to my thigh. Then I put all my other clothes back in the bag and strapped my swords to my waist. As I picked up my bag, Ikaku laughed.

"What's so funny?"

"You like that style of clothes, don't you? That's all I've seen you wear since we came back and you've only worn black, red and white."

"So what? I had repacked my bag when we were in my world. Fewer dresses and more battle clothes, because I've been finding myself in more fights here than I ever had at home. Come on," I turned and started to walk past him as he gasped. "What?"

He was looking at my breasts. He moved his hand up and traced the skin between my breasts and I shivered involuntarily. "Have you not seen this?"

"Seen what?" I dropped my bag and walked into the bathroom to look in the full-length mirror. I saw a mark between my breasts of a two white crescent moons in the center of a white seven pointed star which was inside of a black circle. "Dracolt must have marked me last night when he put my demon to rest."

I walked out of the bathroom, picked up my bag and walked out of the room to the main courtyard where the three warriors waited. Saiqua was pondering over a map and I hurried over to him and looked at it. It was the same type of map I saw in my vision.

"We should try here next," I pointed to the place we had been pointed to in my vision. "I know we're headed that way anyway, right?"

"Yeah it is," Saiqua smiled, folding the map.

"Okay, let's get going then—"

"Wait," Harka ran over to us, in his usual royal attire. "Kina, take these," he handed me a pair of earrings that had two crescent moons underneath a double 16-pointed star. The smaller star was emerald green and the circle of the larger circle was emerald green and black. The points of the large star points were silver, along with the two moons. "These have been in my family for a few centuries. I would like you to take them."

"Thank you, okay now we can go." I hopped onto Arco and Ikaku jumped up behind me and led the way out of the city.

As we traveled southeast, no one talked very much. Kauris slept most to the time, and I dazed off. After almost two weeks of traveling, we reached a village called, Storkan, as a huge storm hit.

"This is frustrating!" Ikaku growled, as he paced the room. "We've been in this village for a week and this storm hasn't let up at all!"

"Calm down, Ikaku. Did you think we'd get lucky and have an easy ride the whole way?" I sighed.

"How can you be so calm?" he turned on me infuriated. "We're so close to finding the last of the warriors! I Just…" I stood up, grabbed my swords and cloak then headed towards the door. "Where are you going?"

"I need air," I whispered.

"It's a storm out there!" Kauris exclaimed.

"It's just rai-"

"No, you are not-"

"Sit!" I turned on Ikaku as he started to sit up. "You think this is easy for me? I want to find them just like you, but we won't always get our way in doing things!" I closed my eyes and sighed. "Please, just let me cool off," I whispered then left.

In the down pour, I looked at my hands and sighed inwardly. The slightest anger released my demonic marks. I walked to the edge of the village and called for Dracolt as I walked under a huge tree. A magnificent dragon-like demon descended from the clouds and landed a ways away, transformed and Dracolt walked towards me.

"Father," I smiled hugging him.

"What did you need, Satikina?"

"Why is it that even the tiniest hint of anger emerges my power?" I muttered as l leaned against the tree trunk.

"Because you're still getting used to your power," Dracolt sighed.

"What am I going to do?" I whispered, pulling my hair over my shoulder and braided it so it wouldn't stick to my face in the wind.

"What the…" Dracolt stared at me. "Where did you get those earrings?"

"The prince gave them to me, why?"

"May I see them?" I pulled out the earrings and handed them to him. "I made these long ago…for the woman I loved…I thought they were lost when she died." He closed his hands around the jewelry and a light appeared from his hands then as the light disappeared, he gave them back. "This should help. I infused my power into them and they should keep your demon locked away.

"Thanks," I smiled as I put them back in. "What is this mark?" I pointed to the mark between my breasts.

"It's the mark of our line. All my descendants receive them when I meet them the first time and use my power on them. It's just a mark, no power included."

"Okay."

"You should get back inside before you get sick from being wet," he laughed.

"I…"

A growled rolled towards us as the rain lightened up. I snapped my head up and saw a huge white wolf demon coming towards us. On the wolf's head was a crescent moon around an 8 pointed star. I drew my swords and growled back at him.
