The demon who had killed Sarama's parents watched her and the half-demon from a safe

spot where he could observe the two and not be caught. An idea suddenly struck him, to

cause the demon slayer the most terrible pain was to be killed by the one she truly loved,

the only man, or shall he say, half-demon who had slowly melted her heart. "Master, what

are you thinking about?" The demon slayer's double asked, she had no emotion in her voice,

in her eyes, anywhere, she was defiantly the complete opposite of the woman he was spying

on below them. "Oh, my dear creation, I have the perfect plan for you..."

/p

Kirashu and Sarama soon left the village, the two both felt closer to each other. It was

another sad good-bye to little Kokiyu but Sarama just smiled at the younger girl and told

her she would be back soon. As Sarama looked back at the distant village she turned her

head to the half-demon, "Seems like you made another friend." "Yeah, right, and who would

that be?" The half-demon asked with a grunt. "Why, Kokiyu, she really seemed to take a liking

to you." "Or my ears." The half-demon replied gruffly. Kirashu stopped for a second when he

smelled blood in the air, human blood. "Looks like it isn't going to be a peaceful day today,

hop on, smells like their might be a massacre." The demon slayer quickly placed her arms

around the half-demons neck and he grabbed her legs as he headed toward the smell of the

blood. They saw the village which was being attacked and it wasn't pretty, everything was

in complete chaos, people running all over the place, some laying on the ground, probably

unconscious. The two didn't speak to each other as they went after the four demons which

had created all of this chaos. Sarama went after two demons who looked completely opposite.

The one was very ugly, with black hair all over him, big red eyes, two large horns on the

top of his head, a sort of pig snout, big hands with large claws, and he was wearing furs

of some sort. The other one was actionably rather handsome, he had a refined face, long

black hair which was braided down to his waist, bangs in his face, dark blue eyes, and he

was also wearing animal furs for clothing. 'Hey, girl, just cause he's kind of handsome

don't take it easier on him than the ugly one, he probably caused this mess too.' Sarama

grabbed her sword and held it in her hand, ready to attack. Before she did the ugly one

spoke to the handsome demon, "Well, looks like we have a pretty one today. Maybe

we can take her back home and have some fun with her." The handsome demon looked at Sarama

up and down, noticing the sword which she had in her hand and how it glowed lightly blue

he quickly replied, "Yes, she is pretty for a human, but have you not thought that she is

probably that famous demon slayer who slayed more than hundred demons with one stroke of her

sword." The uglier demon's eyes grew at this statement and he looked over at the demon slayer

who was still tightly holding onto her sword. "I never thought that news traveled this fast."

With that said she brought her sword across the ugly demon's chest and it ripped threw his

furs, and burned threw his skin, she had almost killed him when she felt someone knock her

down to the ground and she felt herself loose consciousness because of the hard impact with

the ground. When she looked up again she saw that the handsome demon was standing over her

with his feet crushing her fingers which were still holding onto the sword. The ugly demon

which she had attacked was laying on the ground, he seemed to be unconscious. "Don't think

that such attacks will fool me," the handsome demon growled crushing her fingers even more

to try and make her loosen her grip on the sword. The demon slayer winced as she felt her

fingers almost being broken with the terrible pressure. An idea occurred to her and she

quickly grabbed the handsome demons leg with her free hand and he jumped out of the way when

he felt her touch, he knew what she could do with her touch. With her hand free again

Sarama went straight for her bow and arrow and started shooting arrows at the demon but he

quickly dogged them and landed right in front of her, grabbing her hand and bringing her face

close to his. He brushed her bangs out of her face as he softly said above a whisper, "Such

beauty, such deadly beauty." He then pushed her hard away from him and the woman landed

against a tree and she felt herself slipping in and out of consciousness. She faintly heard

the handsome demon telling the uglier one to leave and the two easily escaped. Kirashu just

finished with the two other demons and ran over to the demon slayer who was still laying

against the tree which she had just gotten thrown into. Her eyes fluttered as she softly

said, "They got away. I let them get away." Kirashu picked her up and held her in his arms

as he roughly told her, "Don't worry about it, even you win some, and loose some."

It took the half-demon a while to find a good spot to rest and he decided to go inside of

the forest, if he remembered correctly there should be a hot spring nearby and she would

have something to soak in. He placed the woman down on the ground and sat across from her

as he observed her to make sure she didn't get hurt too badly. Nothing seemed to be wrong

so he headed off to get some firewood before the sun came down. As he walked off and was

finally alone he faintly felt that someone was watching her and following him. He grabbed

his sword and quickly turned around, only to have the feeling of a sword burning threw his

chest and being thrown back to the ground. When he finally opened his eyes he saw his assailant

to be none other than Sarama. The sword which she held onto was defiantly hers, except instead

of glowing a blue color it was faintly glowing a black color and he watched as his own blood

dripped off of the sword. The half-demon looked up at her with stunned eyes, anger slowly

edging into his eyes and hurt also. "Sarama, but ... why? I thought you, you..." She answered

his final statement for him, "That I cared for you? That I loved you?!" Kirashu didn't respond

to her venomous voice, such hatred showed in the voice, hatred which he never knew the demon

slayer to have. "Really, you stupid mutt, how could such a woman as I harbor such feelings

for you? You a mere half-demon, you know that such a thing could never work out, ha, and like

I would let it. I HATE you, loathe you, I never loved you, and never will!" The woman just

smiled a wicked smile at the half-demon and then threw her sword at him and left him,

leaving him there to deal with his hurt and angered feelings. 'How could I be such an idiot?!

I should have killed her when I first met her, I will finish my first plan if I don't die

first.' He felt his bloodied chest, he was going to die very soon, what a fate for him,

but he'd use the last bits of life in him to kill the only woman which he had cared for and

who had just deceived him, she was going to pay with her life for taking his.
