Here's Chapter #6, enjoy!

Sarama walked threw the forest just taking in the tranquility and the peacefulness
which today seemed to have. "Hey, stupid girl, where are we going?" Sarama
scrunched up her face as she thought, 'Well, there goes the tranquility and peacefulness.'
"Don't worry about it Kirashu, just enjoy the sights," she looked over at Kirashu and
gave him a smile. "Humph, sights, whatever you say," looked over at the
demon slayer and saw her smiling, he hated it when she smiled that way, just made him
feel so weak, but he also knew he loved it. For just a second he finally looked at her
from head to toe. She was wearing her usual demon slayer clothes, which were tighter fitting
than a traditional kimono, probably because she couldn't fight as well in looser fitting
clothing. He remembered the hard time she had fighting in the blue kimono she wore before.
She seemed to have a nice body, though somewhat fragile he could feel that she was very
powerful and she was more than meets the eye. He could understand why most demons underestimated her, like he first did. Then
he turned his eyes to her face. Her face was kind and beautiful, with delicate beauty,
she had to be the most beautiful woman he ever saw. She had long, jet black hair and
amazing blue eyes, which were very kind, yet somewhat sad. He was surprised that he was even
traveling with her, and that such a woman would trust a half-demon like him, but maybe
she was just lonely like him. She had just finished talking about something about being
ready for anything when she finally noticed that he had stopped and was staring at her.
She then asked him in a curious tone, "Why are you looking at me like that?" "Looking at
you like what woman?", he said in his usual tone walking off past her.
/p
It's so peaceful today, even with Kirashu asking every few seconds with
"where are we going," a little too peaceful. "Kirashu, be ready for anything, things seem
a little too peaceful," she looked over at him and noticed that he had a strange look,
like he was studying me. "Why are you looking at me like that?" she asked in
a curious tone. Kirashu answered in his usual tone and didn't answer the question, just
walked past. 'Maybe I just imagined it, but I could have sworn I felt his eyes looking at me
from head to toe.' She felt herself slightly shiver and then followed after the
half-demon. She closed her eyes and scanned the area for any demons nearby, she didn't
see anything until she saw not far away from where they stood and there saw several demons
attacking a small, remote town. Sarama opened up her eyes again and thought to herself,
'I knew that today wouldn't be just a quiet, peaceful day without slaying' "Kirashu,
follow me, there are several demons attacking a small town not far from here." She called over her
stallion and quickly mounted him and galloped off. When she noticed that the demon was again
staring at her and not following she said, "Well, are you going to follow me or not?"
When she saw that he looked like he was going to follow her she galloped Sosiyu towards
the village, the half-demon easily keeping up. They arrived at the village surprisingly
fast, and Sarama dismounted and unsheathed her sword. She had no time for introductions,
because several people seemed to be hurt and one demon looked like he was going to set
fire to a hut.
/p
Sarama ran as fast as she could and blocked herself in front of the hut. There was a mother
and young child in there and if they demon did set it on fire they would probably die
in seconds. She placed the sword in front of her and it glowed a blue color. Kirashu
was preoccupied with fighting a few demons himself, but then he noticed that Sarama
was placing herself in front of a hut, and then the demon breathed the fire at her. "Sarama!"
Kirashu screamed as he tried to get there in time to push her out of the way but he was too
late. 'No, no, please don't tell me...' He looked up and then saw that she hadn't been
burned to a crisp, she had somehow blocked the fire and was now attacking the demon. She
killed the demon easily and looked over at Kirashu to see a demon was coming behind him
to attack him. "Kirashu, watch out!" she screamed to him, and just in time too, because
he turned around and drove his sword straight into the heart of the demon. Sarama decided
to end this now, she felt herself put a lot of spiritual energy into the sword and then
slashed it threw the air. The demons screamed out in pain and then just became ashes. Sarama
fell down to the ground and felt herself momentarily blacked out, using such an attack was
very hard and made her extremely weak afterwards, but luckily only for a short time. When
she woke up again she saw a worried Kirashu over her saying, "Sarama, are you all right?"
She felt herself surprised to hear worry in his voice for once and quickly replied, "No,
I'm just fine, but I have to take care of the injured people first." And with that she
got up and took care of every person who was injured, she was glad to see that no one
was seriously injured and just had minor bruises. With the last person taken care of she
left the small village and smiled as she waved good-bye.
/p
Night came quickly and Sarama made a fire as she silently observed Kirashu. He sure is
hard to read, was he really worried about me? Kirashu looked over at her and she smiled
as she said, "You finally said my name for once." He looked surprised at the remark and then
said in a rough tone, "Feh." 'That's the most I'll get out of him for one day.' He looked
over at the demon slayer and asked, "Why do you slay demons? Why do you help other people?
Not like I care or anything, but just wondering." She was taken aback by this question and
felt a numb sadness sweep over her as she rubbed her necklace and replied, "I just never
want a child to go threw what I went threw growing up." Kirashu saw the sadness which swept
over the usual happy face of the woman and decided to leave it at that. She looked over at
Kirashu and smiled again as she softly said, "No use dwelling on the past for tonight, anyway, good night
Kirashu." The half-demon just said another one of his "Fehs" and jumped up into the tree
which was closest to the fire. Sarama slept underneath the tree, feeling a strange feeling
of protection from having the half-demon above her.
/p
Oooo, Kirashu's giving Sarama some looks, but with his destructive and painful past with
people will he ever let her come any closer? Bah, I've said too much, on to the next chapter!
