Here's Chapter #7, enjoy!

Kirashu was the first to wake up the next day, jumping down from the tree which he

was perched on and looking down on the beautiful demon slayer. 'She really trusts me, if

she didn't she wouldn't dare sleep with a half-demon so close. But why does she trust me?'

Kirashu felt a strange urge to look at her even closer, when he noticed a familiar

scent in the air. He sniffed the air and felt himself growl deeply when he realized that

the scent was that of his half-brother, Yokiysu. Sarama woke up when she heard Kirashu's

angry growl, and asked him with concern, "What's wrong Kirashu?" He looked over at the

demon slayer and she could see that he was worried and angry at the same time. He couldn't

explain it to her fast enough, his brother was coming after him at a very quick pace. Then, just as quickly

as he was gaining on him and where they stood, the full-blooded demon stopped, as if

waiting for his younger brother to come to him. Kirashu didn't need more of an invitation,

he took off to find his brother, but felt himself almost stuck to something...

/p

"Sarama," he said in surprise. "Kirashu, I know something's bothering you, and don't think

your going to leave me here and fight by yourself, I'm coming with you, and nothing you

say will stop me," the demon slayer said it in such a tone that he didn't argue. He knew

he would get nowhere with her having her mind set. He saw her blush slightly as she said,

"Um ... is it all right if I ride on your back? I sent Sosiyu away farther than usual and I

don't think I'll be able to get him over here quick enough." He looked surprised but nodded and she

got the best hold on him and rested her head on her shoulder.

/p

The half-demon ran with such sped she felt like she was flying at times, it was such a thrill.

But she could feel that he was tense, and very uneasy. Kirashu finally found where he was

half-brother was and stopped immediately. His brother was turned around, and slowing turned

toward him to give his brother a smile which brought shivers down her spine. Kirashu placed

Sarama softly on the ground and the demon slayer stood beside the half-demon. "Yokiysu!"

Kirashu said with disgust and anger. "Ah, my young, half-wit brother Kirashu," he spoke

with venom in his voice. The full-demon was defiantly very handsome, almost too handsome

for his own good. He had long silver hair, and was wearing a gray kimono. The most chilling

part about him was his eyes, unlike Kirashu's golden eyes which promised more than he

showed threw his words, his older brother's eyes were cold, heartless. "Oh, brother, I never

knew you were interested in humans, but I see you must have father's taste for them," Yokiysu

looked over at Sarama and gave her a chilling smile. In a flash the demon was standing in

front of her, bringing her chin up to his to study her like a piece of meat.

/p

Sarama was so surprised that she didn't know what to do. Kirashu made the first move, unsheathing his

sword and yelling at the top of his longs and cursing, "How dare you touch her!" He brought

the sword down, hoping to make contact with his brother, but only making contact with the

thin air. "Really brother, you couldn't hurt me if you wanted to, so don't even try and just

die." Sarama felt herself becoming angry at this conceited full-demon, she unsheathed her sword and

felt her sword glow a light blue color as she readied herself to slash the sword threw the

air, hopefully knocking the full-demon to the ground. She opened up her eyes and slashed

her sword threw the air, the blast did just what she wanted and knocked the full-demon to

the ground. It didn't stop the full-demon and he was right in front of her again, giving

her a rather annoyed, yet surprised look. "What are you wench? You smell human." He was digging

his claws into her, and she winced when his claws glowed green and she felt poison burning

threw her kimono. Kirashu couldn't believe that his brother was harming her, and quickly

tried to punch his older brother in his pretty little face, but yet again he easily dodged

him with such grace. "Half-wit brother, your wench intrigues me, after I kill you maybe

I shall take her as my own," he said with that same chilling smile. Sarama couldn't

control herself anymore, she screamed out to him, "I will NEVER be yours!", and attacked

the demon blindly, and he easily pushed her to the ground. He picked her up by the chin

and spoke evilly, "You should take care of those emotions my dear, you might end up dead

because of them." She felt her eyes narrow and she grabbed his arm and sent her energy threw

him. She felt herself blackout afterwards, but she had done more than just scratch the

full-demon, he was also out cold too. Kirashu ran over to the demon slayer and softly

said, "Sarama."

/p

The woman didn't move, but he saw his brother stir, and when the full-demon

got to his feet again his eyes went blood red and he began to turn into his true form, a

huge, white dog. Kirashu dodged his brother's attacks, though he felt himself stumble

and his brother's fangs digging into him. He wouldn't be defeated so easily,

since that his brother couldn't dodge his attacks and he punched his brother in the face.

Then he grabbed his sword tightly and drove it into his brother's face, the full-demon let

go of him with that and Kirashu then slashed his sword threw his brother's chest. Kirashu

looked his brother straight in his red, demon eyes and said in an angry voice, "You'll

pay for hurting her!" With that said his sword transformed into a larger sword, it glowed

a yellow color and he slashed threw both arms of his brother, and then with one final blow

to the chest sending him flying backwards. He heard his brother growl as he transformed

back into his human form and say in a cold voice, "We will meet again, dear brother." And

then he seemed to disappear. Kirashu sheathed his sword and walked over to the demon slayer

and kneeled by her side. He gently pushed some of her hair out of her face and at the feel

of his touch she began to stir. She slowly opened up her eyes and looked up at the half-demon,

softly saying, "Kirashu. Where is your brother?" She saw the anger light up in his eyes

again and said in an angry tone, "He got away." She smiled into his eyes, which were so

unlike his full-brother and said, "I guess we'll have a lot to talk about tonight." He knew

she was telling the truth, he wanted to know more about her, and why she had her powers, and

so many other things. Sarama wanted to know more about Kirashu too, but for the moment they

stayed quiet, keeping their questions to themselves. Sarama rode on Kirashu's back again

and looked back to see the sun setting. 'Many things to talk about indeed...'
