"What the hell do you want, Yokiysu?!" The full blooded demon only smiled at his younger

brother as he spoke in his cold tone, "Ah, my dear, half-wit brother. I came here to give

you a message, but looks like the one who wanted me to give it to you has all ready beaten

me to it." Sarama smiled at the older brother and stood in front of Kirashu, she would not

have the two fighting today, and she would try to do everything in her power to keep the

two brothers away from each other. "Hello Yokiysu, thanks for stopping by and trying to

relay the message to Kirashu but we're together now and mates." It might of been just her,

but she could of sworn she saw a flash of disappoint go across the demon's face, but if it

was there, it was immediately gone. "Well, seems like my brother might be such a complete

idiot when it comes to woman as I thought." Yokiysu walked toward Sarama, but stopped when

his younger brother had his sword at his throat and spoke in a deep growl, "Don't you dare

come NEAR my MATE. Or else I'll finish what I started last time we met." The demon slayer let

out a frustrated sigh, she did think it was cute when Kirashu was jealous, but not when he

was threatening someone with his sword. "Really Kirashu, Yokiysu wouldn't harm me, at least

he didn't do such a thing when we last met, he actionably acted, well, quite like you, in

some ways, and saved my life too. And I believe he is only here to give you a message which

I told him to give to you, if you two met again." The half-demon grunted but still didn't

let go of his sword as he eyed his brother and knew that there was more to his older brother

being there. "Why else are you here, Yokiysu? You know I sure as hell don't trust you as

far as I could throw you." "Kirashu!" Sarama lightly smacked the half-demon on his head,

annoyed at the way the half-demon was acting. The full blooded demon chuckled at the demon

slayer, she was defiantly much stronger than the half-demon, how someone could deal with

such a strong woman was beyond his comprehension. "That wench of yours is defiantly something

else, you'll never met another like her." Sarama now felt annoyed with Kirashu's older brother

calling her a wench yet again, but she doubted that she would be able to smack him on the

head for saying it. "I didn't come here for you, my half-wit brother, I came here to talk

to that wench of yours, I think that I remember seeing her mother and father." "My mother

and father? What were they like? Please, tell me everything you know!" Yokiysu was rather

surprised at the demon slayer, the woman had a child like look in her eyes, like a child

would have learning something they had waited their whole life to learn. "Well, let's see

now, your mother looked quite like you, except her hair was somewhat wavy, her eyes were

brown instead of your blue, she carried herself almost exactly as you carry yourself now,

proud and strong, and I remember a precious crystal around her neck which I swear glowed a

blue color sometimes, much like the necklace you're wearing now." The demon paused for a

second, watching Sarama rub the crystal and then continued on. "I also remember hearing

from the demons at the time that the crystal had the power to grant it's owner one wish,

whatever the wish, though if they were in anyway corrupt, the wish itself would not

be carried as the wisher intended. Your mother protected this crystal easily, for she was

one of the strongest mikos in the land. But, then she met your father, who I remember to

have short black hair and hazel eyes, but I don't remember much other features about him.

They moved to the secluded village which you were brought up in. It was told that you were

to be the strongest of all of the mikos, that your strength would sort of cover-up the power

of the crystal intrusted to you, and this seemed to be the truth as soon as she gave you the

necklace the demons which had hunted it couldn't find the crystal anymore, and many gave up,

except one." Sarama's eyes grew wide, she thought she might know who this 'one', might be.

Yokiysu still watched the demon slayer's expressions, but kept his eyes away from his

younger brother. Though when he did advert his eyes away from Sarama he noticed that his

young brother's eye twitching at the amount of control he had to use to keep himself from

attacking Yokiysu. He smirked at this but decided to continue with what he knew, "This 'one',

was a demon named, Nasiou. He spent several years trying to find out where your mother,

father, and especially you were at, and finally found the village you were living at. Well,

you know the rest of the story, he killed your village, killing everyone, everything, and it

was believed that you had died with the rest of your village, but yet you survived, and

still live today, very impressive." Sarama could of laughed at the way the full blooded

demon sayed she was, 'impressive', but she was too consumed in all of the information she

got, she never thought the crystal on her necklace was special because her parents gave her,

but she didn't know it was wanted by demons.

/p

"Thank you very much Yokiysu for telling me all this." Sarama looked at the full blooded

demon and gave him a small smile, hearing a growl come from Kirashu for smiling at his

older brother. "You couldn't possibly believe him?! He's a damn liar, I would never believe

a word he says." Yokiysu growled at his brother this time, glaring at him as he spoke in

a cold tone, "You idiot, I would not lie about such things." The demon slayer ignored the

two as she spoke to Yokiysu again, "Did you ever see Nasiou?" The full blooded demon

immediately shook his head, "No, I didn't." Sarama leaned against Kirashu and closed her

eyes for a few seconds, slowly processing all of this, and felt herself being reminded that

Nasiou had promised that he would come back for her, how she didn't know, but she still

felt uncomfortable with the thoughts of the demon. Yokiysu decided that he had told all

which he could to the demon slayer as he stood up and walked away. Before he left he called

out to his younger brother, "Oh, my dear brother, may I have a word with you, ALONE?" Sarama

didn't like the idea of the two brother's alone, but she had no say in it and watched as

the half-demon left her and went to talk with his brother. "Okay, do what the hell do you

want you liar?" Kirashu didn't know what happened to next second, he was pinned so quickly

to a tree by his older brother that he was completely surprised, and could do nothing to

loosen his brother's tightening grip as he stated, "If you leave that woman again, she will

be MINE, get it?" With that the full blooded demon loosened his grip and dropped Kirashu

to the ground. Before the half-demon could attack his brother, Sarama was beside him,

holding onto him and speaking soothingly as she said, "Let him go, okay? For me, please?"

She rubbed his arm and Kirashu reluctantly held back as he watched his brother walk easily

away. 'Pathetic little thing, his wench all ready has control over what he does'. Yokiysu

thought amusingly to himself, he'd have to kill his brother another time, though he was

finding that much harder to do because of the demon slayer.

/p

"I wouldn't believe what my brother said", Kirashu said in a 'don't believe him too', tone.

"Kirashu, I'm not you, and like your brother said I don't think he would lie about such a

thing." The half-demon grunted again and wrapped his arms around her waist, speaking softly

in her ear as he said, "What the hell happened between you and my brother?" Sarama raised

her eyebrow as she said just as softly, "Nothing whatsoever, a few weeks ago he saved my

life because I was swimming in some cold water and fainted, he gave me his shirt, and I

gave him a message to tell him where I said I missed you, okay?" Kirashu did believe her,

but he just didn't trust his brother at all. Sarama looked off into the distance, hearing

the demon's name sent shivers down her spine, and she wondered if her double was still alive,

and if it was, was it waiting for her? Pretending to be her and attacking villages, or

maybe something worse, such as endangering Kokiyu's life? With the last thought the demon

slayer couldn't stand it anymore, she had to get rid of that thing before someone she loved

or innocent villagers were killed, she needed to find it.

/p

Siblings, and you learn more about the necklace Sarama always wears, hmmm. And will Sarama

find that evil double of hers?
