Ayame turned pale "Wh-What? Rikimaru's alive?". Kiku nodded. "Yes, but we are not sure…we connot jump to conclusion but I would like you to go to the Mountain village of Iganawa (made it up) and see." Ayame nodded "Alright."

"O.K Sachi I'll count & you hide" Kioko told her blonde haired, black eyed friend.

Sachi smiled "O.K but first turn around…" Kioko did so and Sachi held up one finger,

& moved it alound her back and said "Snake, snake behind your back. Which finger

did that! " after poking her with her pinky. After about 2 guesses, the platinum haired

child found the finger that poked her and had to count to 20, while her older friend ran

away.

When she finished, Kioko ran, literally, into a man. She looked up ad the person who

Was wearing a black gi had long black raven hair. "Gomen nasai sir! I didn't mean to

Run into you like that!." The man bended down and said,

"That's alright child. My name is Onikage what is yours?"

"Kioko."

"Kioko, do you want me to help you find your friend?" She nodded.

"Then be better get going!" The demon said thinking to himself (That was too easy.)

Then as soon as they got into the bamboo forest, he knocked her out with a blow to

The head and carried her to Lord Mei-oh's lair in the mountains.

A/N: What will Onikage do to Kioko? Will Ayame find Rikimaru? Is he even Alive?
