The two walked for hours and hours, the demon slayer didn't slow at all and stayed at the

same pace throughout the entire trip, but he could still tell that she was getting very

tired. It had been a day since the demon slayer had urgently left and she had refused to

rest or eat. Night was coming and she still refused to stop and rest. 'That's it, I'm

going to have to stop her from moving and MAKE her rest, but how?' A smile played upon

his lips as an idea formed in his head. He decided to try it out and yelled, "Sarama!"

The beautiful demon slayer turned quickly around and was about to say "What?" when Kirashu

jumped on top of her and pinned her to the ground. She felt herself blushing but the

half-demon didn't look as embarrassed as he said in a demanding tone, "Rest." With that he

stood up, grabbed some wood, and preceded to make a fire. She still felt herself

stunned and then the shock wore off she asked him in an almost annoyed tone, "What did you

say?" He turned around and looked right into her blue eyes which screamed out that she had

to keep on going, but he told her in the same demanding tone, "You must rest, I won't take no for an

answer, your going to stop moving and rest." 'How dare he tell me what to do?! We have to

keep on going, it may be too late." But as she saw that his look softened a bit and he

seemed to be very concerned she just slowly nodded her head and before she knew it she was

fast asleep.

/p

The next morning Sarama woke up feeling much better and reenergized. Sarama looked over at

the half-demon and saw that he was all ready up. She had slept longer than she had wanted

to but quickly stood up and kept on walking toward the village. She didn't know how she

was able to find out which direction to go in, but she felt that the village in her dream

was familiar in some way. 'Well, I have been to countless villages, but this one seems

almost ... sentimental in a way. Like I all ready now someone, but how could that be?'

Kirashu noticed that the demon slayer was being quite quiet and distant and he decided

to ask what was wrong. "Hey woman, what's wrong with you? You aren't talking as much as

you usually do." Sarama was snapped out of her thoughts and she looked at the half-demon

as she smiled and said, "Oh, it's nothing, I'm just thinking." They finally caught sight

of the village for the first time and Kirashu watched Sarama's eyes widen at the sight

of the village. She walked quickly over to a hut and knocked on the door. Immediately the

door opened up and the demon slayer exclaimed, "Lady Kantae!" Kirashu stood beside the

demon slayer and watched as the demon slayer hugged the old woman and then this Kantae

beckoned her in.

/p

The woman was old, he'd say she was 60 years old, with brown hair, and

an aged face, and eyes which seemed to have a lot of wisdom in them. Kantae had helped the

demon slayer realize some of her powers and taught her a little how to control them. "My dear child, Sarama,

what brings you to this village?" Sarama smile disappeared slightly as she said, "I had a

dream of a demon disguised as a human coming to the town and slaying innocent lives, has

such a thing happened?" The old woman face became thoughtful as she spoke softly, "No, nothing

like that has happened, but you know how your dreams come true, my child." She nodded her

head sadly and had forgotten about the half-demon sitting beside her when Kantae glanced

at Kirashu and a look of surprise came to her face. "My child, who is ye friend?" "Oh, I'm

sorry Kantae, this is Kirashu, he is a half-demon." Kirashu's dog ears seemed to twitch in

annoyance as she said, "Half-demon." "Are ye two ... mates?" Kantae asked curiously.

They both looked at each other with utter surprise on their faces as they said in unison,

"MATES?!" They then rambled how one of them about how the other was conceited, annoying,

and bothersome. Kantae slowly shook her head and said in a soft tone, "I guess that is a no".

/p

Sarama got up after talking a while longer about how she had come to meet the half-demon,

had how her slaying had been recently when she finally and said her good-bye to Kantae, though she wanted to talk to the woman longer

she had to see where this demon might be hiding, or if it was just a strange dream. She

walked outside for a long time, trying to feel his presence but she couldn't, until

she finally felt something and looked to the side to see the demon which had haunted her

dreams. His brown eyes seemed to freeze her to the ground, she couldn't move for a few

seconds until she felt Kirashu's hand on her shoulder and she broke free of the trance he

had on her. The demon didn't seem to be at all afraid of her, and gracefully walked away

from her and then turned to smile that horribly chilling smile which he had given her in

the dream. She followed after him and finally cornered him where no villagers would be

hurt in their fight. Kirashu followed Sarama throughout the whole entire time, asking no

questions, the look on her face explaining everything to him. "Demon, why do you disguise

yourself? What are you?" He turned to her and spoke in an emotionless tone as he said, "I

have strict orders to get some things from you." With that said he tried to harm her, but

Kirashu blocked him, taking the full assault. He feel to the ground with a sickening thud

and a grunt, he seemed to be out cold. "Stupid fool," the demon said with the snarl as he

went to attack Sarama and hit his mark. His claws dug deeply into the fragile woman and

he smiled happily as she fell to the ground covered in blood. The blood didn't smell like

the blood of a normal woman, it was much more powerful, and he felt his eyes turn

red as he grabbed the woman's arm and twisted it behind her, he threw her back to the ground

as he held a few strands of hair in his hand. He didn't seem satisfied with just causing

the demon slayer this much pain, but he had to leave now so that the potion would work.

She stood up to the demon's surprise and said with determination in her voice, "You aren't

going anywhere." "I am afraid I must go now, be prepared to meet your better half next

time we meet." With that said he turned into an orange sphere of light and then disappeared.

'He escaped me, how dare he escape me!' She fell down on her knees and punched the

ground as she felt anger toward herself for letting him go. She looked over at Kirashu and

he didn't look too hurt, with him being half-demon he should be able to heal rather quickly.

Kirashu woke up and tried to get up a little too quickly and immediately felt the

pain in his chest where the demon had attacked him. Sarama said in a soothing tone, "Take

it easy, you may be half-demon but you still hurt pretty badly." She grabbed his arm

and supported him as they walked over to Kantae's hut. 'Why did that demon say I would

meet my "better half?" I don't have a good feeling about this at all...'

/p

Uh oh, things are going to get hard and confusing for Sarama. And she's got good reason

to not feel too good about what's gonna happen... Bah, I'm evil, aren't I? lol.
