Sarama hovered over the half-demon and dabbed a wet cloth on his head, hoping to bring
him back to consciousness again. After they had finished walking to Kantae's hut Kirashu
became unconscious again. She looked down at him and felt her heart wrench when
she knew that it was her fault that he was hurt, if she would have taken some of the attack
maybe he would be awake right now. Kantae watched the demon slayer carefully take care
of Kirashu and she could just feel the high emotions she had for this half-demon. "Ye
care about this half-demon, don't ye?" Sarama looked up and into the eyes of the old
woman, she knew that if she lied the woman could see straight threw, so she decided to
answer with the truth. "Well, ... of course I do, I think he feels the same way.
I mean, he really does, protect me but he's so hard to read sometimes..." She didn't expect
herself to stutter so much for such a simple question. Kantae decided to leave her at that
and not ask any more questions about the half-demon, the child did not the feelings she
had for the half-demon, and it would probably take her a while longer to understand her
feelings. Just then Kirashu began to stir and again sat up a little too quickly and he
again felt the pain in his chest. He cursed underneath his breath as he felt the pain
but just loud enough for the demon slayer to hear. The demon slayer ignored his cursing
and preceded to tell him to take off his shirt. "What did you say? Take off my shirt?!"
She shook her head at his perverted thoughts, "Take off your shirt so I can heal you
quicker." He still had an eye brow arched at her request but he took off his shirt and
propped himself up against the wall. She tried to reframe herself from staring at his
muscular chest and perfect abs but she tried to make her staring at him short. She saw
him smile at her as he said. "Yeah, sure, 'heal' me." She lightly hit him on his head
for his remark and then said in a serious tone, "Lay down and don't move." He heard the
seriousness in her tone of voice and laid down. She placed her hands on his chest and
closed her eyes as her hands glowed a blue/purplish color and his wound began to disappear
rather quickly. When Sarama felt all of his wounds healed she stopped and felt herself
immediately blackout. Luckily Kirashu caught her in his arms and blinked at how close
they were. She lay there for a few minutes in his arms, he seemed like he didn't want to
let go of her, and then she slowly opened up her eyes to see Kirashu's golden eyes staring
into hers. That's when Sarama noticed that she still had one of her hands on his bare chest
and she quickly pulled it away and stood up and sat where she was at before she healed
the half-demon, she was clearly embarrassed and her face blushed a deep scarlet. Kirashu
was clearly shaken from it too because he looked rather embarrassed too and quickly put
his shirt back on. "Sarama, you seem to feel ... weaker. What's wrong?" The half-demon was
looking at the wall, not trusting himself to look into her eyes. "It's because healing
takes a lot more energy out of me than anything else, it'll take me a few days to get
back to normal." With her saying normal he immediately said, "Humph, are you ever normal?"
/p
Several days passed by but there were no other uninvited visits, and after Kantae had
said that she wouldn't let anything happen to the village and she could leave the demon
slayer finally caved in and got ready to leave. She said her usual good-byes and left
the village and headed out again. Before she left the demon slayer asked Kantae how
the demon which had attacked her had grabbed her hair and blood and then just
disappeared. She asked why he would do that but the old woman had no explanation for it.
She still didn't have a good feeling about it but what could a demon do with just her hair
and her blood? Sarama felt herself stop day dreaming when she felt an arrow coming toward
Kirashu. She quickly pushed him out of the way and watched as the arrow landed right where
the half-demon was just standing. She stood up and looked to who shot the arrow and saw
several men with their bows and arrows pointed at Kirashu and her. She stood in a battle
stance and asked in a demanding voice, "What right do you have to attack Kirashu and I?"
One of the men replied, "What right do we have?" What right do you have to attack our
lord? We just went after your little demon friend first to just get rid of him." "Attack
your lord? I have done no such thing." The men wouldn't listen and shot more arrows at
the demon slayer and one caught her clothing and pinned her to a tree. Kirashu jumped at them
and easily blocked the arrows which were shot at him and was about ready to rip these
stupid men to shreds when he heard Sarama scream out to him, "Kirashu, stop! Don't kill
them!" He looked over at her and seemed to be thinking quite hard what to do, but she
saw his shoulders sag as he stopped his attack and stood there eyeing them. Sarama
pulled the arrow out of the tree, freeing herself, but one of the men talked before she
could. "We have instructions by our lord to bring you back alive, but he said nothing of
your companion." "Listen to me, if you dare harm Kirashu I will not come willingly, and
let me tell you, you will have an impossible time of bringing me back alive then." They
seem to be thinking hard about this proposition and finally came upon a decision. "We
will leave your demon companion alone, but you MUST come willingly with us." She spoke
in a soft tone, "I will." They walked to the demon slayer and tied her hands and she
arched her eyebrow as they did this and one of the men noticed her expression. "Just in
case, we have seen what you have done to our village." She was about to open her mouth and
tell them again it wasn't her but she wouldn't try, and just followed them to wherever this
lord was. Kirashu just followed after these annoying and stupid men, knowing that he should
keep out of sight since Sarama was only going with them willingly because she didn't
want him to get hurt, but he was also curious why she would be so wrongfully accused.

A good ol' cliffhanger, I hope you guys liked the chapter.
