Kirashu woke up the next morning with Sarama still in his arms, he watched her slow breathing

and treasured every minute he had with her. Sadly, it did have to end and he remembered this

as he saw the demon slayer slowly open her eyes and wake up. She didn't say anything, just

smiled up at him and blushed slightly, but she didn't try and move away from his hold.

The half-demon didn't want to break away from her either but he knew he had to. "Well,

you stupid girl, are we going some place or not?" The demon slayer just stared at the

half-demon and then stood up, she tried to not look affected by him rushing her to get

out of his arms but she couldn't help but to feel a bit hurt. "So, where are we going?"

Sarama looked at the impatient half-demon and thought for a second on where they could

go before answering. "I think I'll go see Lady Kantae, we're close to the village and

should be able to get there in no time. Anyway, you need another shirt." Sarama blushed

at her last statement and quickly adverted her eyes away from the bare chested Kirashu.

/P

Sarama jumped onto Kirashu's back and they headed off toward the village. Once they entered

the village Sarama noticed how everyone was staring at the bare chested Kirashu, she doubted

many people had seen such a sight before. One perverted man whispered a little too loudly,

"I wonder what they've been doing?" The demon slayer turned a bright shade of red at the

remark and looked over at Kirashu and he was lightly blushing too. Sarama grabbed his arm

and turned him to face her. "I'm going to go find Lady Kantae, and you better find another

shirt before any more rumors spread." The demon slayer walked away with that and Kirashu

watched her retreating figure, wondering how he was going to find someone who wouldn't

run away in fear at the sight of a half-demon. Kirashu sighed at the hard job he was given

and walked toward the closest place which seemed to be selling silks, cloths, and he just

hoped they had shirts, he was getting tired of all the stupid villagers, and especially

the village woman, staring at him.

/P

Sarama headed off to find Lady Kantae and first stopped at her hut and knocked and the door.

Luckily, the older woman was there and immediately told the demon slayer to come in. The

first thing she noticed was the demon slayer's bandaged stomach, she had barely ever seen

the young woman with any marks on her from slaying, so whatever demon that had done it must

such a thing most of been pretty powerful. "My dear child, what has happened to your stomach?"

Sarama remembered that she still had her wound from Kirashu's brother and smiled uneasily.

"Yokiysu, Kirashu's brother, bruised me pretty badly. Though as strange as it may sound I

don't think it was intentionally." "Ah, I see, so Kirashu has a brother? Is he a half-demon,

such as he is?" "No, he's a full-blooded demon. I guess that they have the same father

but different mothers." The older woman nodded at this and Sarama thought about what to

ask her. "Lady Kantae, I not too recently ran into, well, what I would call my evil half.

I believe the thing was made from what that demon took from me when I last arrived here.

The thing had the same powers as me, maybe even more powerful. It had all the memories which

I had, and completely emotionless. Who could have such sorcery to create such a thing?"

Lady Kantae didn't say anything for a few moments and thought of any demon or human which

she might know to be able to do such a thing, but in all of her years she never heard of

such a thing happening. "No, I'm sorry my child, but I have never heard of anyone who

could do such a thing." Sarama nodded and looked down at the ground, somehow she knew that

thing was going to come after her again, the two questions she was left with was when

and why? The demon slayer was shook from her thoughts as she heard Lady Kantae speak again.

"That isn't the only reason why you came here, is it...?" Sarama looked up from the ground,

"No, I guess it isn't. I was just wondering, what do you think of Kirashu?" The older woman

smiled at this question, she knew from the moment she saw the half-demon and demon slayer

together that they cared deeply for each other. "I think he cares dearly for you, and as long

as he takes good care of you I think he is a fine half-demon." The demon slayer smiled

at this and then stood up to leave, she wanted to stay longer and talk but she had to make

sure Kirashu wasn't getting himself in trouble. Before she left the older woman gave her

another shirt for herself, and the demon slayer smiled gratefully and put it on.

/P

Kirashu was trying his best to get a red shirt from this one man but he just wouldn't listen

to him. "I said I wanted the red shirt, you stupid human." The man only gave him a cold

stare and a fake smile as he said, "I'm sorry, but I do not sell anything to killer

half-demons such as yourself." "Oh, I'll be a killer half-demon if you don't stop trying my

patience you stupid human!" 'Hmm, I wonder what Sarama will think if I just knock this guy

out and take that shirt...' He immediately saw a ticked off face of the demon slayer as she

pinned him to a tree and left him there for several days. The half-demon shook his head at

this thought and took a deep breath as he went to get all of the money which he had and

shoved it in the hands of the annoying man. This seemed to satisfy him as he stopped his

annoying talking and handed him the red shirt. 'I hope Sarama likes the stupid shirt, though

I must say she'd probably like me still shirtless'. The half-demon smirked at this thought

and just saw the demon slayer walking out of Lady Kantae's hut. Sarama felt Kirashu's

presence and turned to see the half-demon. "Well, I see you have a shirt, and I have a new

one myself, so let's head out." The half-demon only gave her a "Feh, whatever woman," and

ran off with the demon slayer on his back.

/P

"My master, what are we to do with Sarama?" The evil double watched as the demon slayer left

the village on the back of Kirashu. "Hurt her like only I can, or know how to. I shall send

one hundred demons to the village where that little human girl she has such a liking for. You say

that she truly loves the girl?" The double smiled evilly, "Yes, she does, you could just

send me instead." The demon seemed to be thinking for a second about this option but

immediately said, "No, she is too strong even for you, but she shall have her hands full

with a hundred demons. The woman has been too happy, her heart has healed too much. I will

make her remember the terrible pain she felt with her parents deaths. What is the human's

name again?" The evil double replied in an emotionless tone, "Kokiyu."

/P

A cliff hanger, evil little things, huh? Well, sorry this chapter wasn't the best, but, eh,

can't make em' all the best, hehe.
