"You mean that rusty old dagger? That's what father gave me? That thing looks like it might
fall apart if you used it, humph." Yokiysu just smiled at his brother, "You are so foolish.
But, if you wish not to have it if and if it is so useless why not hand it over to me,
dear brother?" "Ha, yeah right, if you want this rusty dagger it most be something pretty
useful," Kirashu replied with a snort. "So, you will not just hand it over to me?" "In
your dreams!" Kirashu drew his sword and attacked his brother, but the full blooded demon
easily stepped out of the way of his charging brother. Kirashu turned around and was ready
to attack the full blooded demon again when he felt his brother's claws digging threw his
kimono, contacting with his skin and ripping threw his shirt and the top of his pants,
revealing the dagger which was hidden. Yokiysu smirked at the sight of the dagger, and
the falling Kirashu. "Kirashu!" Sarama ran over to Kirashu but the half-demon immediately
told her to stay still and not involve herself. She felt herself gasp out loud when she
saw the half-demon's well muscled bare chest and the blood which was dripping freely from
the wound which his brother just gave him. The demon slayer took a step forward and Kirashu
could see the battle within her by just looking into her eyes, she wanted so much to be
by his side, to stop this. The battle inside of her seemed to be decided for her as she saw
Yokiysu's claws glow and he attacked Kirashu again to give him the finishing blow. Sarama
didn't even think, she ran in front of the half-demon and flinched as she felt Yokiysu's
poison claws burning threw her kimono and burning threw her stomach as they made contact
with her skin. The full blooded demon didn't know until he had burned threw the woman's
skin when he finally found out that he had harmed her and not his brother. He stopped his
attack just in time to save the woman and watched as she softly said his brother's name
and then fell into the half-demon's arms. "Sarama..." The half-demon said the woman's name
barely above a whisper, as he gently stroked the demon slayer's face and held her tightly
for a mere second and then looked up at his brother, his eyes bright with fury. Kirashu
was surprised with the full demon not looking overjoyed with what he had done, on the
contrary, his handsome face was set in a deep frown and he looked anything but happy.
/P
"You'll pay for hurting her!" Kirashu gently laid the demon slayer on the ground and attacked
his brother with his sword again, this time his sword made contact with the graceful demon
and it cut threw Yokiysu's arm. The full blooded demon tried to turn the tables on his younger
brother but the half-demon was too angry, he slashed threw his brother left and right, finally
knocking the powerful demon to one knee as he stood there above him, his sword above his
brother's head as he readied himself to bring his sword down and kill him. Sarama was still
awake, she saw Kirashu's strong anger at his brother, and she knew he was going to kill
him, if she didn't stop him. 'I can't do a thing with this terrible wound. I'll have to use
everything in me to heal it as much as I can.' She saw Kirashu's sword above his head as
he looked ready to bring it down to the demon. "Stop!" Sarama sat there, clutching her stomach,
hoping that she wasn't too late, but the half-demon had immediately stopped at the sound
of the demon slayer's voice and looked into her pleading eyes. 'I'm not going to be able
to stay awake much longer, and I must if I'm going to make sure that Kirashu doesn't kill
Yokiysu or the other way around, it's now or never.' And with that thought Sarama started
to glow a bright blue color, her body started to repair her injury quickly. She had never
purposely made herself heal quicker, and she wasn't quite sure if she could do it. It was
amazing that the two brothers had stopped attacking each other just to watch the demon
slayer, though it must have looked quite strange to see a woman glowing a bright blue color.
Sarama decided not to heal herself completely, and as she finished her body ceased glowing
and she fell to the ground, exhausted with the power which she had to use. With Sarama's
fall to the ground Yokiysu took advantage of his younger brother's attention being distracted
and he grabbed the half-demon's arm and dug his poison claws into him. Kirashu yelped in
pain but quickly jumped out of his brother's grasp and tried to slash threw him again with
his sword. But, the full blooded demon gracefully moved out of the way of the half-demon's
attack and grabbed the dagger. Bringing it across to strike but Sarama was watching them
and immediately cried out Kirashu's name and held Yokiysu to the ground. "Kirashu, watch
out for the dagger, one touch of it and you will die!" The full blooded demon gave her a
cold glare but Kirashu immediately jumped out of the way again of the dagger's path and
glared at his brother. "So, that's why you want it? You'll be able to kill instantly just
by touching demon or human with the dagger's blade..." Yokiysu looked at his half-brother's
shocked face and smirked happily, "And you will be the first to die by it's blade."
/P
'Oh no, they're back to talking about killing each other again. I have to get Kirashu out
of here, away from fighting his brother.' The demon slayer watched as the graceful elder
brother attacked his younger with the dagger but Kirashu dodged out of the way and the
dagger missed it's mark by mere inches. Sarama couldn't sit and watch hopelessly anymore,
she stood up from the spot she was sitting and ran over to Yokiysu. The two brothers
were so involved with their own fight that they didn't even notice the demon slayer coming
toward them and Yokiysu didn't even realize she was coming towards him until it was too late.
Sarama grabbed the dagger from the full blooded demon's hands and then jumped up into the
air and flew backwards, landing gracefully on her feet a few feet away from the two brothers.
She stood there, absolutely still, poised to move quickly out of the way if she had to.
Yokiysu and Kirashu just stood there, staring at her, and then the full blooded demon came
after the demon slayer. Kirashu saw this and knocked his elder brother to the ground, the
main thought which was going threw his head now was to get the demon slayer to safety again.
The half-demon picked her up in his arms and ran away from his brother. He hated to end
a fight with his brother with him running away but it didn't matter if his pride was a bit
bruised, it only mattered to get the demon slayer back to safety again and take care of her.
/P
Sarama could hear Kirashu's brother yelling but the words were blurred with the sound of the
wind in her ears. 'Yokiysu is really going to be mad at me if we meet again, that conceited
demon. He's just lucky I got Kirashu's attention when he was ready to bring his sword down
to kill him, but of course he probably doesn't care. He'll have a good reason to try and kill
me if we run into him again,' Sarama thought to herself as she looked up at the half-demon
carrying her. She was quite happy to be back in the arms of the half-demon again, though he
probably didn't know that. The half-demon was quickly out of the forest in no time, though
he ran farther away to a safer spot than just at the edge of the forest. When he was satisfied
that they were far enough away he laid the demon slayer on the ground and sat down himself.
The half-demon was the first to speak and his tone was soft, unsure, quite unlike the usual
gruffness which he spoke in. "You saved me back there, twice." Sarama was taken aback by
his statement and surprised that he wouldn't think she would. "Well, of course I saved you,
you've saved me more than once so why wouldn't I repay the gratitude." She smiled a sweet
smile at him, but the half-demon's face was still lost in thought. "You could have been
killed, don't ever risk your life for me like that again." Sarama didn't know what to say.
'He doesn't want me to risk my life for him? But, why?' "Kirashu..." Sarama said the
half-demon's name very softly, her eyes completely confused, unsure what to do. "Just don't
worry about it, okay? I just don't want you to get hurt because of me... Now hand over
some bandages so I can take care of the wound you got from my stupid half-brother." Sarama
didn't say anything and just gave the half-demon the bandages and sat completely still while
he looked at the deep gash. It had healed pretty well because of the demon slayer's efforts
to heal herself quickly but he could see that it could reopen again easily and cause more problems.
He felt himself touch one spot of her bare stomach which had completely healed and the demon
slayer didn't squirm under his gaze or his touch, and he blushed fiercely for a second at
what he did. 'Really, Kirashu, control yourself,' the half-demon told himself as he started
to bandage around the woman's stomach. When he was finally finished he placed his hand
back on her now covered stomach to tie the bandage so that it would stay. Suddenly, he felt
Sarama's warm hand on his and he looked up into her blue eyes. "Kirashu, I won't stop risking
my life for yours. It may sound foolish, it maybe is foolish, but I just won't." The
half-demon looked at first shocked but then a small smile appeared on his face as he slowly
shook his head. "And most people call me stubborn." Sarama took her hand away from the
half-demon and lightly punched him in the shoulder. Nighttime came quickly and Kirashu didn't
want to leave the demon slayer to get wood to make a fire so he just sat there, but even
though he wasn't cold he could tell the demon slayer was. Without warning Sarama sat in front
of Kirashu and laid her head on his shoulder. The demon slayer was so close to the half-demon
that feeling the warmth of his body made her fall quickly asleep. Kirashu didn't know quite
what to do, he dreaded her coming closer to him, because he became closer to her. And he
hated pushing her away and making her angry so she would keep a distance from him, and it
was becoming harder and harder to do such things. But for just a second he forgot about
pushing her away and smiled happily as he slowly and carefully placed his hands around her
waist and laid down to rest with her. He felt delighted with being so near to her for a
night and happy to be breathing in her calming and sweet scent. For one of the first times
in his life he was dreading the approach of morning when he would have to push her away yet
again.

Aww, a sweet little chapter. And still those two still haven't had their first kiss, bah,
I'm evil, hehe.
