Your captive? I'm going to be your captive?!" Sarama spoke in a shrill tone and the full

blooded demon could sense her getting angry. "Yes, you heard right wench, you are my captive."

"What do you plan to do with the dagger? And what do you plan to do when Kirashu comes here?"

Yokiysu just looked at the woman calmly and stated, "I will take what is rightfully mine,

and I will kill my half-brother." Sarama took a step backwards at his statement. 'Kill

Kirashu? How could he do such a thing? Why do they hate each other so much?' Seeming to read

the demon slayer's thoughts the demon quickly said in a cold tone, "You wouldn't understand,

it is a family matter." Sarama didn't know what to do, she felt so confused. At first she

thought that the conflict against Yokiysu was so simple but there seemed to be something

more, why else would two brother's want to kill each other so much? Yokiysu started walking

away from the confused demon slayer and turned around to ask the woman if she was coming.

'What am I going to do?' She couldn't just escape and run away, she didn't know where she

was and something told her that there weren't any villages nearby for miles. The demon

slayer could take care of herself fine, but the place they were at strangely gave her the

creeps, and she hated to say it to herself but she was better off with the cold-hearted

demon then on her own. "Yes, I guess I have no other choice." "That's right, you don't,"

the full blooded demon replied with his chilling smile. Yokiysu's smile disappeared as he

said, "Don't get lost you stupid wench, you must feel the evil in these woods, evil which

is stronger than I." Sarama didn't feel like tutoring the full blooded demon on not calling

her a wench so she just nodded.

/P

The two traveled to a spot where felt safer, and the full blooded demon sat down and stared

at Sarama, studying the woman. 'It's like we're always studying each other, Yokiysu is so

different from Kirashu. Of course, it's sadly much harder to get Kirashu to open up to me

and talk, but at least he didn't go from insulting me to somewhat complementing me.' Sarama

hated to ask the full-blooded demon too many questions but he seemed to be very truthful

so maybe she would get a few answers from him. "So, why is the dagger rightfully yours?

Why does Kirashu have it in his possession?" Yokiysu blinked slowly at her daring question

and flexed his claws but decided to answer her questions. "I am a pure blood, my half-brother

is not. His mother was killed by mine, and my father then killed my mother. I will never

forgive my brother for tainting the family line, I will never accept him as he is, he is

worthless. And why my father gave him the dagger, I do not know, it was probably the most

powerful thing my father had, and he gave it to my half-wit brother."

Sarama felt her anger slipping as she stood up and yelled at the demon, "Kirashu is NOT

worthless! He is sweet, kind, loyal, and he seemed to defeat you last time you met with him..."

This seemed to hit a nerve with Yokiysu and he jumped up and grabbed the demon slayer by

her neck, pinning her to the nearest tree. Sarama just glared at him, ready to use her own

attacks to get out of his grip. Yokiysu looked into the woman's eyes, eyes which should be

wide with fear but she showed no fear whatsoever, just anger. 'I can't kill such a fearless

woman, such bravery is hard to find.' And with that thought the demon let go of Sarama's

neck and unceremoniously dropped her to the ground. The demon slayer stayed on the ground

for just a second to catch her breath and then stood up to glare at the demon again. "You

are the only wench which I have met who is not afraid to be attacked by me." Yokiysu

didn't seem to be talking to the demon slayer, more to himself. "You kind of have to learn

how to fend for yourself and not be afraid of anything when you've been slaying demons as

long as I have." Yokiysu had calmed himself quickly, and was back to his cold self. "Um,

when you first fought with Kirashu, I heard you say that you were surprised to see him with

a woman, why?" Sarama knew that the full blooded demon had just pinned her to a tree and

nearly choked her to fainting, but she still wanted more answers. "You are one persistent

woman. I said such thing because though I hate my brother with all of my blood and heart, I

have noticed how people have attacked him since his younger ages, and every woman which was

human which he ran into has tried to kill him, or was deadly afraid of him, and from how he

has been exiled from most villages he has grown to hate people. I do not hate humans myself,

I am just amused by them." "Really? Yeah, people are really amusing," Sarama spoke in a

bitter tone, she knew that she was pushing it but couldn't help it, Yokiysu was just so

heartless. "Well, I have been answering all of your questions, why not answer my first one?"

"Fine, I shall. Yes, my blood is extremely powerful. And sadly for me I think it does give

demon's incredible strengths, though like I said before I have never let a demon taste my

blood, ever." Sarama felt somewhat afraid at speaking this out loud, she had always denied

it, but something told her it was true. "Don't worry wench, I wouldn't do such a thing

as tasting your blood for power, I am all ready even more powerful than you." Sarama didn't

say anything but her immediate thought was, 'I doubt that.'

/P

Kirashu ran through the forests, he wouldn't stop until he had the demon slayer with him.

'Yokiysu is going to pay for taking her, but why would he take her away?' Kirashu

jumped from tree to tree, trying to get a good look on the area. He stopped for just a

second to smell the air and faintly caught the scent of the demon slayer, she seemed to be

inside of the Dark Forest. The Forest was the farthest away from any villages, and with

Sarama's heightened scenes she could probably tell of the evil in there. 'My elder brother's

attempt at keeping Sarama with him and not escaping, I would guess.' Kirashu ran at a quicker

pace and guessed that he would be there by sunrise, he just hoped Sarama could hold on and

his cold-hearted brother would keep his hands off of her.

/P

"Stop staring at me!" Sarama yelled at the demon, he had been staring at her for a long time

since the end of their conversation and she was trying to get some sleep. Yokiysu took

no notice of how uncomfortable she was and continued to stare at the woman. "Ugh, really,

it's like you've never seen a woman before for years!" Yokiysu spoke in his cold tone as

he said, "I have never seen such a woman as you before." Sarama felt quite surprised with

his comment, though the full blooded demon seemed to love to surprise her. "And WHAT does

that mean?" The demon sounded very annoyed, as if it was all ready apparent. "Because you

are NOT an ordinary woman." He didn't feel like listing the things which separated her from

most woman, then it would sound like he was complementing her, and he didn't want to do that.

The demon slayer just breathed out a frustrated sigh and felt herself slowly drifting off into sleep.

It had been another exhausting day, and she had been fighting herself to not loose her temper

since she was taken by the demon because she wanted answers from him, but now the day was

catching up with her and she didn't care if the demon stared at her or not. Yokiysu was

surprised to see the woman fall asleep under his watch. 'Doesn't she know I could kill her

easily?' The full blooded demon walked closer to the sleeping demon slayer and looked down

at her, watching the steady rise and fall of her chest and the calm look on her face.

'Humans, and their need to sleep and rest, pathetic.' Yokiysu walked away from the woman and

sat down again, watching the woman, studying her.

/P

The next morning the full blooded demon was in the same position as he was yesterday, he

had only gotten little sleep but he didn't need much so he spent the rest of the night

watching Sarama. Sarama woke up slowly, her eyes were hopeful as she hoped to see Kirashu

sleeping across from him, or not too high in a tree next to her but instead her eyes rested

on Yokiysu, and she could feel an inner sigh inside of her at the sight of the demon. "Were

you watching me all night long? You know it's quite hard for us humans to escape when we're

sleeping," the demon slayer spoke in an annoyed tone. "Well, unlike you I don't need as much

sleep so what else I'm I supposed to do when I am waiting for my half-wit brother to get here

and save his wench." "HIS wench? I am not a possession, you know." Yokiysu just snorted at

her comment and turned his back towards her as he scanned the forest. "Ah, my half-wit brother

has finally come. Remember I have shown you no kindness whatsoever to you, you are just an

object to get my younger brother here." Sarama felt herself grit her teeth in anger at the

arrogant demon but just held back her anger, she wouldn't be much help to Kirashu if she

did anything stupid now. Kirashu appeared out of the trees and once the half-demon saw

Sarama he quickened his pace and jumped into the air and landed right in front of his older

brother. But his eyes weren't on his brother, but on the demon slayer, she watched him look

at her carefully, making sure that she wasn't hurt. "Sarama." Kirashu said the demon slayer's

voice slowly, his golden eyes filling with relief as he saw she wasn't hurt. The half-demon

was brought crashing back to reality though when he heard his brother's voice and remembered

that he was here also. "My dear half-wit brother. As you can see, no harm has befallen your

precious wench, but I took her away from you to get back what is rightfully mine." "And

what is that?" Kirashu asked with a growl, his fingers resting on his sword, his body ready

for fighting. "Why, father's dagger, of course." Kirashu's eyes grew wider in surprise as he

repeated his brother, "Father's dagger..."

/P

Sarama and Kirashu are reunited again. But, what if Yokiysu carries on his plan and kills

Kirashu with his own dagger? Then what will happen? Will Kirashu be able to get away with

his life and Sarama's? You gotta stop by again to see what's gonna happen...
