Sarama was the first to wake up the next morning, and was almost done cooking some breakfast
for her and Kirashu when the half-demon woke up. He jumped down from the tree and
eyed the food in a hungry way. Sarama laughed and said, "Help yourself, I hope you like
it." The half-demon grabbed the food and quickly ate the food in seconds. When he had
finished eating he looked over at the demon slayer and asked, "Where are we going today?"
She looked into his eyes and smiled as she said softly, "I have no clue." 'No surprise,
she really is the spur-of-the moment kind of woman.' "Well, even though I have no clue,
maybe this will be a calm day with no slaying, but who knows, anyway let's head off", she
got up and walked away, turning back to see Kirashu follow behind.
/p
She felt her feet
walking somewhere she knew that she didn't want to go, but somehow she just couldn't stop
herself from going in the direction. Kirashu watched her walking quicker than usual, almost
as if she just wanted to get it over with. And she was defiantly going at a pace which
a person who had no clue where to go wouldn't be moving so fast. But he didn't ask her
why, and just followed her. He looked around looking at the trees and sniffing the air
to see if there was any demons around, but there was nothing at all. Suddenly, Sarama
stopped dead in her tracks, and he almost ran right into the demon slayer. He was about
to say "Why did you stop you stupid girl," when he saw Sarama's face. Her face was so
sad, and she looked over a grassy plain which had a rather large bare spot, where nothing
grew. She walked very slowly towards the spot, and kneeled on the ground to feel the bare
ground. She slowly stood up and spoke sadly, "This is where my village was. I was the only
person to escape from the despicable demons which attacked our village. They destroyed everything,
and the only thing which is left is this bare patch of ground."
/p
Kirashu looked sadly over at the demon slayer, she lost everything, everyone she knew. He
had to do something to make her feel better. The half-demon said in a soft tone, "If you need
me for anything, I'm right here." Sarama turned toward the demon and did the only thing
which she could think of, she hugged Kirashu. The half-demon immediately tensed up and
didn't know what to do, he had never been hugged by any woman before besides his own mother.
Sarama buried her head in his chest and took in his scent and held him tightly. If she didn't
hug him she knew that she would start crying and not stop for a while. Kirashu finally
felt himself relax and he slowly put his arms around her neck and for a second he buried
his nose in her hair and took in her sweet scent. But just as soon as Sarama had embraced
him she slowly broke it. She felt herself blush quite deeply as she said, "Thank you so much
Kirashu for being here with me." She just wanted to hug him again and never let go but
she just smiled at him. Kirashu was also blushing but he just said in his usual gruff tone,
"It was nothing." They stood together as they watched the sun setting, and then the half-demon
said, "This must have been a very nice place to grow up." He was surprised that he said that
and hoped that he hadn't upset her but she was actionably smiling at him. "It was defiantly
a wonderful place to grow up in, and very beautiful." The demon slayer took one last glance
at her bare ground which was where her village used to be and then walked off back toward
their campsite. He walked by her side, his mind still on the hug which they had just shared,
and how perfect it felt for him to hold her. They arrived at the campsite together and
both felt unsure what to do, Sarama decided to set up a fire again and she watched the
half-demon out of the corner of her eye. iI've never hugged a guy before, but it was such
a wonderful feeling.' She felt herself blush deeply at the thought and when she saw
Kirashu gaze at her it seemed that he was thinking the same thing. They both turned their
gazes away from each other, and Kirashu didn't know where to go, he wanted to sit by the
demon slayer, but he decided to jump into the tree again and try and get some sleep. Sarama
laid underneath the tree Kirashu was in and felt her eyes grow heavy and she easily feel
asleep. But, tonight she wouldn't have pleasant dreams, she had a nightmare of a demon
disguised as a human, killing off people, she had a close look at his face and it was like
the demon could see her, his brown eyes turning red and a horrible smile growing on his
face as he stood above his dead victims.
/p
The demon slayer sat straight up as she felt a small scream escape her. She was covered in
sweat and she felt her breathing coming in quick breaths. Kirashu woke up quickly and
jumped down from his tree and brought out his sword to fight any demons which had come
to attack her. But, nobody was there, he turned to Sarama and asked in a worried tone
of voice, "What is wrong? I could have sworn I heard a small scream from you." She looked
into the half-demons and quickly told him, "We must leave now." Kirashu looked at her with
a surprised look on his face, "Why now?" Sarama slowed her breathing and tried her best to
calm herself, "There is a demon, not far from here, which is attacking a town in the disguise
of a human, if I do not stop him I'm afraid the demon might kill many innocent lives.
Hopefully the dream I had is one that is to come and not one which all ready happened, if
it is one that all ready has happened, we will be too late." Kirashu spoke to her urgently,
"You need to get a good night's sleep first." She shook her head and stood up, she had all
ready made up her mind, "We must go now, I will not get anymore sleep tonight." 'She's
made up her mind again, well, I must make sure she isn't harmed.' So, the two headed out
to meet this new foe, but he wouldn't be the only enemy they would meet...
/p
Who is this foe, eh? He's gotta be pretty tough to make Sarama scared, so you'll just have
to see in the next chapter, hehe.
