Chapter 5 ~ The Truth

"I never knew my parents. They were killed by Kinas' henchmen. They were the rich type of Youko. After everyone I knew and loved had been killed, I ran away. I was only, as humans would say, 5 at the time. Plus, on my 8th birthday, I was found by Kinas' men and brought to him. I already had become one of the best thief/assassins at the time. He brought me up. Then I heard of Kurama's disappearance a year ago. So I ran away. I had escaped to the human world. And a few months later, I was found by Kinas' best man. He injured me severely, but I got away. Then I met up with you guys."

One of Kinas' men hit her in the back of her knees with the flat part of a sword and she collapsed to her hands and knees.

"Before I decided to run away, I was given a mission. This is why I ran away. It was to slay you, my friends. I couldn't do it. And that's why I was going to leave before you knew."

She was beat across the shoulder blades by the same sword and fell flat.

"I'm sorry Kurama. Sorry I lied. Sorry I fell in love in the process. Sorry for you even meeting me."

Kurama was infuriated. Not with Kisane, but with what and who was doing this to her. He walked over to her and picked her up. She was barely conscious.

"Well, I'm not sorry." He said, walking towards the door.

"Don't move. If you stand anywhere near the door, we'll fall through a trap door. He won't let me leave again."

She spat out blood and motioned Kurama to only help her stand.

"Now Kisane. There is a trap you don't know about. I wanted you either to pledge allegiance to me or die."

Her eyes light up. With fire.

"Never. I'd rather die."

Kurama looked surprised. She pushed them away, as Kinas hit a switch and she fell into a deep hole. Kurama jumped after her. The others started fighting. Kurama caught up and placed Kisane above him. He smiled and kissed her. Then all was black for him. Kisane blinked and shook him. He was breathing, just not moving. Only one other time in her life had she cried, but nothing like this. She then heard noises all around.

"You're not getting him. If it's the last thing I do."

She pulled out her sword and fought the demons 3-1. There were at least 25 of them. By the time Kurama awoke, there were only 10 left, but Kisane couldn't move anymore. It hurt too much. Kurama pulled out his rose, it became a whip and he took down the others. Kurama observed her. She had cuts and bruises all over. He stood up and walked over to her. She pinned him down, thinking he was another foe. She collapsed into him when she saw he was ok. They laid there a minute. She got up and picked up her sword and cleaned it. He stood there, then kissed her cheek. She felt a little better. They both made their way back to the throne room. She entered a different room first. She handed him a small vile and took one for herself. They drank it and had their strength back. It didn't heal their wounds. They walked to the throne room door.

"You better wait here. They're probably trapped."

"I'll only wait five minutes."

"That's all it will take."

She walked in and she saw she was right. They hadn't noticed her. She snuck behind Kinas. She held her sword to him throat.

"Let them go and I'm yours."

"Fine. Men!"

They were released and looked at Kisane.

"GO!"

They left down-hearted. Kurama stared at her. He couldn't believe she was sacrificing herself for them. Then he looked into her eyes and smiled and left with the others. She then chanted a spell that no one in that room knew. Kinas was choking. She slashed his neck and he disintegrated. She then fought her way out. There was a brilliant flash of silver and the castle was destroyed. Kurama turned and dropped to his knees crying. He didn't think she would do that.

"Kisane…"

He was about to get up when another flash of light appeared right in front of him. The spell had worked. He wiped the tears away and looked at the light. The light turned into an aura and formed a body. He picked her up and they left. She woke up half way to the spirit world. She looked up at Kurama and brushed away the hair out of his eyes. She had to bring up something though.

"Is there any food around here?" She asked, and they all sweatdropped.
