Last Time:

"Come on, let's go look around."

"Satikina," he growled and gripped my arm. "I am trying to talk to you and all you are doing is pushing me away."

"If you don't know how to trust me, then you are in the wrong relationship," I snapped, narrowing my eyes at him.

Now:

-Sosuke-

I watched Satikina as she got dressed and my beast popped into my mind.

'You mate her,' he whispered.

'What?' I was surprised.

'Have you never thought about that? I have…since she first marked dominance.'

'I…have you already chosen her for sure?'

'Yes, I have…'

"What was your beast saying?" she whispered against my chest.

"He's just talking nonsense. He was always unable to talk in complete sentences and it gives me a headache. Too bad I can't cage him away all the time," I chuckled, not sure I wanted to tell her the truth.

She pulled back and walked into the main room and strapped her swords to her back. I pulled on my shirt and strapped my sword to my waist. I found the Pawashiru necklace in a corner and picked up. I put it in a pocket and Satikina looked at me.

"What are you not telling me?" she whispered covering her face with the elongated collar of her black undershirt.

"I'm not hiding anything if that's what you mean," I lied.

"Bullshit," she snapped then her voice fell as she turned away from me. "Do you not trust me?"

"Satikina…"

"Come on, let's go look around."

"Satikina," I growled and gripped her arm. "I am trying to talk to you and all you are doing is pushing me away."

"If you don't know how to trust me, then you are in the wrong relationship," she snapped, narrowing her eyes.

I couldn't move. Even though her eyes were hard and cold, I could see the anguish as she said that sentence. She pulled out of my grip and walked out of the room before I could say anything else. I followed her out, wondering how I could fix this. She was angry and hurt because she thought I didn't trust her. I followed her and struggled with how much this was hurting.

'You hurt her!' my beast growled. 'Tell her truth! She push us away cause you stubborn!'

'Shut up you insufferable beast! I will fix this,' I growled.

'When? You lose her if not fix problem!' the beast growled before disappearing.

"Satikina," I spoke, catching up to her. "We need to talk…"

"Sosuke?" a voice squealed. I looked towards the voice and saw the huntress who had healed me those years ago. "It's really you!"

-Satikina-

The huntress had long blond hair that was in two braids to her waist and blue eyes. She wore a purple tunic over black pants into black boots. On her head was a purple hat and I noticed a single glove on her right wrist that went up into her sleeve. Strung across her back were a bow and a quiver full of arrows.

"Amaya…" Sosuke spoke hesitantly. His voice held some sort of deep emotion that I couldn't really place. I backed away and leaned against a tree as the huntress flung herself at him, wrapping her arms tightly around his waist. I narrowed my eyes as Sosuke just stood there, surprised.

"You came back! Just like you promised," she giggled.

"Um… I…didn't come back on any promises… I'm helping someone…" he stammered, prying her off of him.

"Who?" she looked up at him, not as energetic.

He looked to where I had been and his eyes widened. He looked around and his eyes finally met my narrowed eyes which was full of hatred and sadness. The huntress followed his gaze and looked at me. I met her gaze and she shrank back behind Sosuke. He came over and stood in front of me.

"Why are you over here?" he whispered.

"I was giving you some space with your little 'friend,'" I spoke, empty of emotion.

"Satikina…"

"Is this what you were hiding? Some past romance?" I snapped, pushing off the tree.

"It's not like that…"

"Really, 'it's not like that?'" I quoted bitterly. "You see her and emotions take over… She hugs you as if you were a lover… You make some promises to her… How is it not like that?"

"This isn't what I was talking to my beast about…what I didn't tell you about… The thing that has been on my mind was about you," he whispered, pulling my chin to make me look at him. "I want to make you my mate, Satikina."

I blinked and my anger slowly fled. "Then how do you explain your relationship with her?"

"There is nothing between me and her. She healed me and in those few months, she thought there was something there. I was only in this village because I was so wounded that my beast couldn't keep up trying to heal me," he whispered in my ear as he rested his hands on my waist. "For me, there is only you."

"Sosuke, who is she?" the huntress growled, walking over as she glared at me.

"Watch what you say," I growled, pushing Sosuke away.

"Be nice Lilia," Sosuke growled, looking at me with cautious eyes.

"You don't own me, Sosuke."

"Yes, actually I did. I did claim you as mine, remember?" he smiled.

"Is she a wolf Youkai too?" the huntress inquired.

"How much have you told this human?" I growled in Sosuke's ear.

"She figured it out when she first found me bleeding," he replied before kissing my covered neck.

"I am not a wolf Youkai, human, don't assume things that you would never understand," I snapped.

"Calm down Lilia, remember what your father said. Don't lose control," Sosuke spoke, pulling back.

"You brought an unstable demon?" the huntress exclaimed.

"You are really getting on my nerves human. I am not unstable."

"Whatever," she sighed. "So…Sosuke would you care to join us for dinner? Father would be ecstatic to see you again."

"Of course," Sosuke bowed slightly, wrapping an arm around my waist. "Shall we, Lilia?"

Amaya led the way down the street to the outskirts of the village as the sun went down. I looked around and saw a few buildings build into the trees with only one ladder as the way up and bridges connecting the three buildings. Light flooded out of all three open doorways and I saw an old man stumble across a bridge.

"Father, you promised!" Amaya snapped, climbing up the ladder skillfully. "You promised not to drink!"

"Amaya?" the old man slurred. "So the mighty huntress finally returns. Haven't seen you for a couple years."

I looked at Sosuke as we jumped up onto the bridge. His face was full of curiosity as he studied the old man. I pulled away from him and stayed back as he walked forward.

"Sosuke… is that you?" the man swayed.

"Xaviko, it's been a few years," he bowed. "This is Lilia, descendant of Dracolt, Master of Fire and Wind."

"A Hankai?" his eyes widened. "You're powerful young one."

"I've heard that term before…what does it mean exactly?" I walked forward.

"A Hankai is in between a Youkai and a Hanyou, but stronger than both…"

"Sorry, I need to get him to bed…"

"No, Amaya. I've never felt better," Xaviko interrupted.

"Father, what's…Amaya, you're back!" a young man came out of the house.

"Aero, how long have you been back?" Amaya was surprised.

"A few days," the man smiled. He was tall with broad shoulders and messy brown hair that framed his face and greed eyes. Strapped at his waist was a sword. "Who are they? Demons?"

"Aero, this is Sosuke and Lilia," Amaya spoke. When she looked at Sosuke, she smiled but when she met my gaze her face went hard.

"The Sosuke that you cared for those years ago?" Aero's eyes widened.

-Sosuke-

Aero was truly surprised.

"You must be Amaya's older brother," I smiled. "She told me much about you when she helped me."

Satikina made a discussed sound and walked off. I turned around and watched as she jumped into a tree and climbed higher. She laid on a branch and looked up through the branches.

"Does she always hide her face?" Aero asked.

I looked at him and he was staring at her with lust in his eyes. "Yes, especially around people she doesn't know," I growled.

"Does she talk?"

"Lilia is quite verbal when she wants to be," Amaya spoke sourly.

Aero walked past me and jumped into tree towards Satikina. She sat up and watched him as he came closer. From where I stood, her face was emotionless but a few tears sparkled in the light before she wiped them away.

"Shall we go inside?" Xaviko spoke after a minute of silence.

"Sure," I spoke, pulling my gaze away from Satikina and followed the old man inside. "Amaya, I need to talk to you."

"What is it, Sosuke?" she gushed, eyes bright.

"You need to stop this…this infactuation you have for me will get you nowhere. I don't feel that way for you, I never have. I am Lilia's only. Stop being so bitter towards her and be nice," I spoke, seriously.

Her face fell as my words sank in. "Are you two mated?"

"Not yet. Lilia's position makes it impossible at the moment but we will be one day." I knew about the rules in summoning Nanaki.

-Satikina-

I walked away from the group, frustrated. Sosuke said there was nothing between him and Amaya but she kept pushing at him and he wasn't doing anything about it. I looked up at the sky through the branches. I was so frustrated that I felt tears roll down my cheeks.

I heard someone coming up from lower branches so I sat up and watched. I dried my face quickly as the man Aero climbed towards me. As he sat down, I noticed that he wasn't even winded after the high climb.

"What are you doing up here?" he spoke gently.

"Thinking," I whispered, narrowing my eyes.

"Why do you hide your face?"

"Because I can."

"May I see your face?" he moved closer. I stiffened but didn't move even though my body was yelling at me to stay away. Aero was only human. "You're eyes are exquisite."

I breathed in slowly and watched his every move. His hands lifted slowly and his fingers slid inside the fabric of my mask and slid it down slowly over my nose, mouth and chin so it rested around my neck. He caressed my cheek and my eyes started to close. He leaned closer and kissed me before I could react.

He pulled back and moved his hand down and let his fingers slid down my neck and inside of my undershirt. His fingers went over the chain of my necklace and he pulled it out, curious. I opened my eyes and tensed as his eyes bugled as he looked at the amulet.

"What is this…?" he growled. I jerked back, and shoved it back in my shirt and pulled up my mask. He could see the fear in my eyes. "What is that necklace?"

"Don't," I growled, scooting away.

He kept coming closer so I slapped him as hard as I could before jumping out of the tree and landing on the bridge. I looked up and saw him jump out and do a flip, landing a few feet away. I started to run along the walk way, looking back as he drew his sword with a furious expression. I ran into someone and screamed.

"Lilia?"

I silenced myself and looked up. Sosuke looked down at me confused, hands on my shoulders. I looked behind me at Aero and scrambled behind Sosuke, hiding my face in his hair and tunic.

"What did he do?" Sosuke growled.

"I wasn't thinking… He pulled down my mask and kissed me before I could do anything. Then he found the amulet and got furious when I slapped him," I whimpered.

Sosuke pulled me into the house and into a corner. He pulled me against his chest as Aero came in, sword still drawn and cheek red from my slap. Amaya came in from another room and laughed seeing his face.

"What did you do this time, you lecher?" she giggled.

"My training kicked in…" he blinked and looked around confused. "She wears the amulet of Nanaki," he breathed and I stiffened in Sosuke's arms.

The room went silent; you'd be able to hear a pin hit the floor. Amaya and Aero looked at each other sending some sort of message with their eyes. Then Amaya turned towards us and stared at me, eyes wide.

"Did you say Nanaki?" Xaviko came in, breathing hard.

"The demoness wears His amulet of the seven-pointed star," Aero's voice became hard.

"The rumors are true then…the priestess is a demon…" Xaviko whispered.

"Who told you?" I whispered.

"My commander, Kijo."

My eyes bulged and my voice shook as I spoke. "What are you going to do now?"

"Nothing… I don't agree with his motives in dealing with you. Amaya show them," Aero sighed.

Amaya pulled off her long glove and walked towards Sosuke and me. She showed me her wrist and I gasped. Her wrist was covered in scars and on top of them, unblemished, was the mark of Balri.

"No matter how many times I've tried to rid myself of this mark, it just reappears," Amaya's voice quavered.

"You did it, Satikina. You've found the final warrior." Sosuke tightened his arms around me.

"You've found the others already?" Xaviko gasped and I nodded. "You should leave in the morning and join the others…"

"Lieutenant Aero, are you there?" a familiar voice called up from the ground.

"Oh, no…" Aero went visibly pale.

"How did we not sense him?" I gasped.

"Who?" Amaya, Xaviko and Sosuke spoke at the same time.

"Kijo," I growled.
