Chapter Name, A horrible night Chapter #17, enjoy!

/p

'What a horrible night,' Sarama thought to herself as she looked at Sosana and Kirashu

glare at each other. Kirashu looked ready to murder the pervert, they had only gone not too

far when Sarama decided to take a rest, Sosana sat a little too close for comfort and grabbed

the demon slayer's hands and held them tightly in his as he pledged his love for her. The

stunned demon slayer just stared at him as her face turned a bright red. Kirashu had lost

it again, she saw his eye twitching slightly as he refrained himself from attacking Sosana.

As Sarama sat there stunned the pervert slowly moved his hand down her back to his destination,

a sly smile pulling at the corners of his mouth. When he was mere inches away from it he

felt his hand being crushed and claws digging into his skin, it was the half-demon. He yelped

and flew backwards, Sarama was immediately surprised but then remembered the faint feeling of

a hand sliding down her back and gritted her teeth ever so slightly. But before she could

do anything Kirashu was in front of her with his sword out and on the neck of the pervert,

growling loudly as he said, "Don't you EVER touch her like that AGAIN!" "Kirashu..." Sarama

said his name very softly and the surprise in her face showed in her voice. Sosana also looked

very surprised as he stated, "Well, I didn't know that YOU were in love with her too, this

complicates things, hmmm." 'Him in love with me?' Sarama blushed even deeper and looked at

the half-demon, expecting a quick response from him. "Of course I don't ... she's just a

human, a demon slayer, she hunts half-demons like me, when we first met I was just going

to get rid of another pesky human... And she still hasn't given me a fair fight, and she hit

me, for no good reason too! And dragged me by my ear..." Kirashu was stuttering a lot but

immediately regretted what he said as he saw the demon slayer's aura go from calm, to extremely

angry. Before he could blink an eye he was pinned to a tree again, but her breathing wasn't

calm and collected, like the time before, she was breathing fast, and he didn't know if it

was just him but he could have sworn he saw a flash of hurt across her beautiful face. "A

pesky human, huh? I hit you for no good reason?!" She couldn't stand to speak anymore so she

walked off, not even looking back. Kirashu soon freed himself a lot quicker than the last

time and decided to keep his big mouth shut. 'It's all that stupid Sosana's fault.'

/P

Since that happened the two had been glaring daggers each other, and Sarama was still fuming

from what Kirashu had said. 'He went from completely protective to a complete jerk.' The

demon slayer looked at Sosana again, 'Maybe I should talk to Sosana, I don't even feel like

looking at Kirashu.' "Sosana, what do you do at the village?" "I am just a common villager."

Sarama raised an eyebrow at his statement and her eyes laid on the sword which he carried

as she asked him, "And when did common villagers carry swords wherever they go?" The pervert

didn't seem to be taken aback by the question and stated plainly, "Well, this is a dangerous

time, one must be ready for anything." Sarama felt herself smile at his nonchalant reply.

"And why did you pledge your love for me? You barely know me!"

/P

Sosana smiled sweetly at the demon slayer and he inched closer and closer to her, grasping

her hand again for the second time that day. "Because, you are the most beautiful woman

I have ever met, you're eyes shine like blue sapphires, and your as strong as you are

beautiful. Why wouldn't a man pledge his love to you? Just because that stupid half-breed

doesn't show you the respect you deserve or recognize your beauty the way I do..." Sosana

stopped as he heard a very loud growl come from Kirashu as he glared at him and gave him

a death glare. The look would stop any guy from speaking anymore, and Sosana wasn't stupid,

he knew the half-demon would certainly kill him if he continued, so he just finished with

a, "Ahem, uh, yes." And immediately removed his hands from Sarama's and slid a few inches

away from her. Kirashu gave a happy smirk but Sarama just glared at him and she felt like

grabbing Sosana's hands and falsely pledging her love for him just to see the look on the

half-demon's face. Thinking that would be rather childish she just spoke in a cold tone "And

what do you have to be growling about or objecting to what Sosana said? You couldn't care less

for a /I human such as me." The words stung Sarama for her to say it out loud, and

they hurt Kirashu deeply, though he didn't let the hurt show on his face. Kirashu opened his

mouth but immediately closed it, he knew he couldn't say anything to her which would make her

think differently, especially with Sosana around to see his weak side. Sarama watched Kirashu

just open and close his mouth but she somehow knew he wouldn't respond, so she just walked

away from the two and left them alone as she found a place to sleep, she knew that she shouldn't

leave the two alone, Kirashu was probably going to kill Sosana, but yet something else told her

he wouldn't be able to do it. The demon slayer fell asleep easily, the day had been long and

exhausting, even though she hadn't fought one demon the emotional exhaustion was a lot to

take, she wasn't used to it.

/P

Kirashu and Sosana continued their staring contest, Kirashu didn't know why the demon slayer

left them alone, she was the only thing which kept him calm, and with her gone he felt his

annoyance for the pervert growing quickly. Sosana was the first to break the silence as he

asked, "So, do you love the demon slayer? I would think not but you do seem to be quite

jumpy with her being touched by other men." "Feh. I'm not jumpy." Kirashu didn't know how

to back out of the conversation, if he said what he felt he'd be done in for, so he decided

to respond like he didn't care. "Really? You aren't?" He smirked with that annoying smirk

which made his blood boil, he had underestimated this guy, at least the Prince had given

him a bit of respect and not thrown himself at the demon slayer. "Yeah, I'm not, I just

don't like it when guys who are spying on her nearly naked touch her, and hold her hands like

she's an old friend." 'Oh great, I said too much.' Sosana raised an eyebrow at the remark

and quickly pressed on with the subject. "So, you do care, huh? "No, I don't! She's just a

stupid girl who can't stay out of trouble!" Kirashu yelled a little too loudly, he didn't

mean it, but he had to convince Sosana he did. He just hoped the demon slayer hadn't heard

him, she still seemed to be mad about his last outburst, and her saying that he didn't care

had hurt him. Luckily, this seemed to satisfy Sosana and he ended the subject, though Kirashu

also thought that the pervert knew that his patience was wearing thin. Kirashu decided to

pretend to go to sleep early so this guy would leave him alone, and after Sosana went to

sleep he would check on Sarama. Kirashu kept his eyes closed until he finally thought Sosana

was asleep and then he jumped down and sniffed out the demon slayer's scent to see where she

was at. He smiled as he saw her lying down on the ground, the moon lighting up her delicate

features and making her look even more beautiful. The half-demon didn't want her to have her

head only on the cold, hard ground so he took off the top of his shirt, and folded it somewhat

neatly. Kiashu then lifted her head lightly above the ground and placed his shirt underneath

it, the demon slayer stirred and the half-demon froze, but luckily she didn't wake and Kirashu

walked quietly away and jumped into the tree he was in before and felt himself slowly fall

asleep.

/P

"Kirashu, Kirashu." Sarama looked up at the half-demon still sleeping and watched as he

opened up one eye, and then the other, giving him a sly grin as she held out his shirt.

Before the half-demon could come up with a clever explanation the demon slayer spoke

first. "Forget about yesterday." And with that she walked off, turning back to smile at the

half-demon. Kirashu was too shocked to move at first, but soon followed close behind the

demon slayer, unfortunately Sosana was walking right next to her, though he didn't have his

hand on her. "Hey, Kirashu, would you mind leading?" The half-demon shrugged and went to

the front, unknowing of what the demon slayer was planning. Sarama didn't know why she did

it, she thought maybe it pay back for yesterday, but she jumped onto Kirashu, smiling

mischievously at him as she said, "Be prepared for anything Kirashu." She was ready to get

up again when she saw a strange look in Kirashu's eyes, he uneasily placed a stray hair behind

her ear and leaned in closer to the demon slayer. 'Is he ... leaning in to kiss me?!'

/P

Ooo, wait a sec, first they're fighting, and now what, Kirashu's leaning in to kiss Sarama,

or is he? Maybe he is, maybe he's not, you'll have to check back, hehe.
