Four years had passed by since the demon slayer's first encounter with the half-demon, Kirashu.
But, instead of the time and years helping the pain and memories go away she was still full
of sadness and hurt, and her heart had not recovered. Along with the years she had grown
more into a woman. Her body showed it and she carried herself much differently, and with the
disappearance of Kirashu she did not move with her carefree and happy attitude, instead she
carried herself in a strong nature and covered up her emotions as best as she could. The only
one which she had warmed up to was little Kokiyu, but even the sweet little girl couldn't
mend her heart, though she did make it somewhat easier for the demon slayer. Sarama was
slaying demons all the time, the peacefullness which had enveloped the lands in the years
before seemed to stop abruptly and she was always fighting them. She had found not one man,
demon, or half-demon which could take the spot of Kirashu, and she knew deep down in her
heart she really didn't want to find such a person to take his spot. Today she had just
finished slaying a few wolf demons which had attacked a town and she sat alone, as usual.
'I think I'll go for a swim, though it is a rather cold night and there are no hot springs
near by I just want the feel of the water.' The demon slayer left the fire and headed
out to a slow moving river, she removed most of her clothes and walked into the cold water.
She stayed in the water for several minutes, closing her eyes and seeing the painful images
of Kirashu yet again. 'All which I want is darkess...' She was unaware that the water and
cold air were slowly making her unconscious and the woman's body became limp as she finally
fell into the darkness which she wanted.
/p
Yokiysu was walking threw the forest when he caught her scent and saw her become unconscious.
Though he still hated the woman for helping his brother escape with his father's dagger he
decided to help her anyways so he took off his shirt and jumped into the water to retrieve
her. 'Stupid wench, does she want to die?' He laid the woman on the ground and immediately
noticed that she was pretty much naked, so the demon placed his shirt on her and took off
his undershirt to dry her off. The demon slayer noticed the sudden warmth and slowly opened
her eyes, at first she only saw white hair and golden eyes looking down at her. "Kirashu?"
The demon's face flashed with annoyance as he said in a flat tone, "No, Yokiysu."
Sarama's eyes grew wide at the sound of this name and stared in disbelief as her eyes came
into focus and she saw the handsome demon and the blue markings on his face. "I'm sorry, I
thought you were... Oh, just forget I said that name, I was just being foolish." The demon
stood up and walked a few feet away from the woman, this is when she noticed his bare back
and remembered she was still unclothed, she blushed slightly and brought his shirt closer
to her body to cover herself up more. "Where is my idiot brother? I would think he would be
protecting his wench, and you two would be mated by now..." Sarama felt her heart hurt more
as she would have to explain the same thing she had been explaining the past four years.
"We decided to go our seperate ways." He heard the hurt in her tone and knew there was more
to the story, she was like a weak animal, and he attacked weak animals, she was no different.
"By we, you must mean, he?" Sarama just stared at him, he was going to make this hard on
her, she knew it. "Well, yes." "He was your first true love and now you are having a hard
time living without him, so you jumped into the water and hoped that death would come swiftly
for you." The demon slayer shook her wildly as she said, "No, no, I wouldn't die such a
death, I may live hard, but I've had a hard living all of my life, okay? This is no different."
Suddenly he turned around and sprung at her, cornering her as she felt his body against hers.
She brought his clothes closer to her and stared into his golden eyes as he questioned her
more. "You're weak, aren't you?" The demon slayer responded, "Maybe." He smiled at her and
she saw his fangs glistening in the moonlight, but she still showed no fear. "You know, I
hunt weak animals..." She just looked into his eyes and spoke in a deadly tone, "And I slay
strong demons." He loved her courage and bravery, it was quite refreshing to corner a woman
and her not cower in fear. Yokiysu gave her room and turned his back on her again, thinking
outloud as he said in a cold tone, "You must hate my half-wit brother now." Sarama had never
thought of hating Kirashu, never, but the way he left her, kissed her back like he loved her,
she wondered why she never even thought of hating him. 'Because... I just couldn't hate
him.' "I don't hate him, I don't know why I don't but I just don't". Yokiysu turned around
to meet the demon slayer's gaze and saw how sad it was. "Well, that just proves it, my
half-wit brother is a complete idiot." "Huh?" She was always surprised by the full-blooded
demon, he was just so unpredictable. "To not want to have such a strong, brave, and very
shapely and curvey body woman as yourself as his own, well that just proves what a complete
idiot he is." The demon slayer blushed at his comment about her shapely and curvey body
and quickly turned her head away from him. Yokiysu decided to leave the woman, she had a
strange way of making him soft, and he didn't like that at all. He started to leave but
the wench immediately called to him. "Yokiysu! Could you... could you tell Kirashu that I
don't know what I did, and I ... miss him. That's if you see him again." The demon gave
her an annoyed look and gave her a curt nod and left, leaving the demon slayer alone again.
'I probably shouldn't of seen him, I wish I could of steared clear of him, but he did save
me, I didn't even know I was slowly becoming unconscious, I was just happy for the darkness.'
The full-blooded demon looked too much like Kirashu, and though her memories were still
strong of the half-demon, seeing him made them much stronger.
/p
Kirashu stared at the water which held his reflection. 'Four long years have passed, and no,
of course I haven't had the great fortune of having that beautiful demon slayer erased from my memories.'
The half-demon outside hadn't aged at all, he still had the same face, though his eyes held
a pain in them, a pain which he always felt for leaving the only woman which he had loved,
and who betrayed him. 'It really is true, I will never see her again...' The half-demon
had a hard time surviving the years without the demon slayer, though somewhat harder
because he didn't have a sort of job, something that needed him, or someone. He didn't have
little Kokiyu to help with him with his sadness, he had nothing, and sometimes he wondered
why he kept on living... 'Don't think that, maybe I should see that little brat, Kokiyu.
But, then I would catch Sarama's scent, I might see her again, and I said I wouldn't.' The
half-demon seemed to be stuck, he didn't want to return to the place, where he knew the demon
slayer was at. He had travelled so far to get away from her, that's all which he had pratically
done was travel, but now he had nowhere else to go to. Of course he ran into the few demons
which recognized him as the half-demon which was the demon slayer's pet. But he killed most
of them easily, and then was left alone. 'Always alone, how did I ever survive like this
before that stupid girl?' Kirashu stared at his golden eyes staring back as he thought to
himself more, he never had thought so much in his whole entire life until he left that
woman, now all which he did was think. 'I wonder... if there's something which could make
me full human, if I become full demon, what the hell would I do? Of course there isn't.
Well, I think I'll see that annoying little girl, Kokiyu. But, how am I going to get there
quickly? It'll probably take me more years to get there.' Just then he heard a horse neigh,
it sounded strangely familiar and looked to see Sarama's stallion. The stallion had left
the demon slayer for a while to chase down his scent, and the horse spent several days
tracking down the scent of the stubborn half-demon. "Well, what the hell are you doing here,
you dumb horse?" Sosiyu charged at Kirashu but calmed down and kneeled for the half-demon
to get on. The half-demon thought for a second what to do, but soon mounted the stallion
and held tightly onto his mane as he ran at a mad gallop. The horse was running so fast that
Kirashu could of sworn he saw fire sparking from the stallion's hooves. 'Ok, this thing is
running faster than I ever could, I think he probably has demon blood in him, it would explain
a lot. At this pace I should be getting to the village again in a few days.' Kirashu felt
his heart race as he thought desperately, 'Why the hell am I doing this again?!'
