The girl who wouldn't give upbr

by Sarah/p

Here's Chapter #5, enjoy!

Kirashu looked at the villagers who seemed to have spears and other weapons in their

hands as they prepared to throw them at him. 'Oh, great, so instead

of getting stoned to death I'm going to get speared to death. Somehow I knew I wouldn't

be able to save the stupid girl and not have my life threatened by a bunch of annoying

villagers.' He got ready to dodge anything they threw at him when he heard the demon

slayer scream, "Stop!" All attention turned her as she got up from laying on the ground and

stood in front of Kirashu. "Don't hurt him, he actionably helped me save your town from

some demons who were set on killing everyone and destroying the town", Sarama looked

at everyone and was glad to see that they all began to relax and some of them mumbled

apologies to the half-demon as they walked away to get started on their usual work.

/p

Sarama turned around to Kirashu and smiled, "Thank you for helping me and for also saving

my life". He felt himself become somewhat uneasy under the kind demon slayer's gaze as

he mumbled, "Well, it was only because I wanted a fair fight from you and nothing else!" She

just smiled at him and then looked down at Kokiyu who had a strange little smile on her

face. She giggled as she said, "Sarama, I think dog man likes you!" Kirashu and Sarama

looked at each other and then turned their heads as they felt themselves lightly blush.

Kirashu shook his head and then decided to finish this "Dog Man" once and for all as he

stated, "My name is NOT dog man, my name is Kirashu." He then jumped up into the trees

to escape the annoying girl's talking. "Kokiyu, he's right, he isn't a dog man, he's a

half-demon, and his name is Kirashu." The little girl looked up at Sarama with an "Oh" look

on her face and then nodded her head. 'I hope that he isn't too annoyed, I think I'll

have him join me when we have dinner, he probably hasn't had a good meal in a really long

time' Sarama decided to walk Kokiyu away from where Kirashu was resting and played

with the little girl until it was finally dinner time. Sarama left Kokiyu with her mother and then headed over to find Kirashu. "Kirashu? Are you there? If

you are come down here please," she said softly.

/p

The half-demon jumped down from where he was resting and looked at the demon slayer. "What

do you want? And is that annoying little brat gone?" Sarama looked at him and wondered

if asking him to eat dinner with her was a smart idea and she decided it was, after all, he did

save me. "I was wondering if you would like to eat dinner with me and the villagers, and

yes, Kokiyu is with her mother." Kirashu seemed taken aback when he heard the invitation,

but he shook it off gruffly saying, "Why would I want to eat dinner with a wench like you?"

'That's it!' Sarama thought to herself as she grabbed the half-demon by his dog ear

and preceded to drag him all the way to the hut where all the villagers were eating

and then stopped him at the table. Kirashu breathed out a sigh of relief when he felt his

ear being released but quickly snapped at the slayer yelling, "Why the hell did you do that

wench?!" Everyone looked at the demon slayer to see what she was going to do but she said

only two words, "Sit and eat." She then walked around and sat across from the half-demon

and began eating the bowl of rice which was in front of her. 'Why that little... How

dare she treat me like that!' Kirashu soon stopped his inward cursing as he smelled how

good the food smelled and felt himself sit down and sniff it as if it was some strange animal

that might attack him. Once he was satisfied that there was no poison or anything that might

harm him in the food he began eating little bits and then eating it quite enthusiastically.

He looked across at Sarama and said with a mouthful of rice in his mouth, "This is pretty

good!" She felt herself laugh and said, "Well, of course it's good, I knew you'd like it."

/p

Once they had finished Sarama thanked everyone for the food and felt herself want to hit

Kirashu over the head a few times as he just said, "Feh" and "That was all right for human

cooking." Once they were alone again she looked at him for a second and wondered what he

was going to do next. Was he going to follow her around still? Kirashu felt her eyes on him

and turned around to see her staring at him. She felt herself blush a bit and then asked him

the question she was wondering all this time, "What are you going to do know?" Kirashu looked

at her with a surprise look and then said gruffly, "What do you mean wench? I'm going to

follow you around until you give me a fair fight! If you think you can get away from me

as easily as just sticking me to the ground for a while then your sadly mistaken." Somehow

she knew he wouldn't just leave her, and she felt surprised to feel somewhat relieved to

have someone travel with her. "Well, if you're going to follow me around we'll be leaving

tomorrow, and stop calling me a wench too," she shot him a glare as she said wench. "Feh,

don't expect me to stop soon, stupid girl." 'I may want some company but I'm sure this

will get annoying after a while...' But somehow she knew that was probably just a cover

up, and that deep down he probably felt the same way she felt.

/p

Kirashu and Sarama went to sleep that night and woke up well rested the next morning. The first thing Sarama saw

the next morning was the golden orbs of Kirashu. He quickly turned his head away as he

noticed that she was awake and spoke in his usual annoyed tone of voice, "Well, woman, are we leaving?"

"Yes, we're leaving, I just have to say good-bye to Kokiyu before we go." 'Great, that

annoying little brat? Well, if she has to, then she has to.' He heard the demon slayer

call out the little girl's name and saw the girl run out and hug her. Then she said

the words which the little girl didn't want to hear for a while, "Kokiyu, I'm sorry, but

I have to leave" Sarama said sadly. The little girl's usual gleaming smile disappeared

and she saw tears forming in the girl's eyes. "It's okay Kokiyu, I'll see you soon, and I

want you to have this," the demon slayer took off one of the necklaces she was wearing and

placed it in the little girl's hands. The demon slayer gave the little girl a reassuring

smile and one last hug and turned around to leave. But before she left though Kokiyu's mother

gave her a bow and arrows and wished the young woman luck with her journeys. As Sarama waved

good-bye to the villagers and left the security of the village she wondered what would

happen with her and the handsome half-demon, Kirashu, and if he really just wanted to follow

her around just to fight with her or did he want something more...?

Well, Kirashu's all right, all thanks to Sarama. Yet another cliff hanger too, evil things

aren't they? lol.
