Sarama immediately stood up, she would not wait for her double to attack, but just as

quickly as she stood she fell back to the ground, remembering her broken ankle. Kirashu

looked at his mate with concern as he said, "What are you in such a big hurry for, huh?"

The demon slayer turned her head and gave him a worried gaze as she said, "I need to

destroy that double of me, before it causes any more havoc like it did with you and me."

Kirashu just held Sarama tighter and placed his head on her shoulder, closing his eyes

as he said barely above a whisper, "I don't want you to get hurt again..." Sarama looked

into his pleading eyes and played with his bangs as she asked in a teasing voice, "Do

you think I'm not strong enough?" The half-demon grabbed the hand which was playing with

his bangs and brought her mere inches from his face as he spoke in a soft, yet demanding

voice, "Your as strong as ever, it's just I won't let you go anywhere until you healed

that broken ankle of yours." With that he gave her a soft and passionate kiss, feeling

a satisfied grin come across his face that he had sealed the deal. To his dismay he saw

the demon slayer try to get up again, though this time she succeeded in standing and she

limped away sitting not too far away from him. "You are one stubborn woman, you know that?"

"I learned to be stubborn from the best," Sarama replied, smiling with the same teasing smile.

Her face became serious as she laid her hands on the ankle which was hurt and she closed

her eyes as she put her healing energy into it. She felt the ankle mending ever so slowly,

and she worked even harder to make it heal as she closed her eyes even more tightly and the

light blue which her hands were glowing became brighter, and then it died out just as

quickly as it had brightened as she fell to the ground. Sarama smiled up at Kirashu when

she felt him cradling her head and then said, "Well, I'm pretty much all healed, tomorrow

we head out to find that impostor." With those words she let herself drift into sleep and

waited for the arrival of morning.

The demon slayer woke up the next day well rested and wondered whether to wake up Kirashu

or not. She knew that she wanted to fight her double alone, and by herself, but she also

knew that he'd probably never forgive her if she left him. 'Well, I guess that gives me no

choice, I have to wake him up.' "Hey, Kirashu, I'm going to go, okay?" Sarama stood up and

started to leave when she heard the half-demon get up and walk behind her. She turned around

to see him and saw that his face was worried but he was halfheartedly smiling. "Well, hop

on, I know how you get when you have your stubborn mind set." "Humph," was the only thing

the woman said in response and she hopped onto her mate's back as he headed toward the village

again. Sarama tried her best to feel her double's aura but it was very hard. At last she

finally felt it and looked up to where Nasaou fought her to and saw it. "Kirashu, stay out

of the fight, it is between me and that thing." With that she gave him a soft kiss on the

cheek and called Sosiyu over and the mounted the stallion. When she was finally up there

Sarama had to steady the stallion as an arrow came straight towards them and missed it's

mark by only a few inches. The demon slayer dismounted Sosiyu and sent him away, she then

unsheathed her sword and stood in a fighting stance, staring at the exact double of herself.

"You killed my master, now prepare to die!" The double yelled out coldly, as she unsheathed

a sword and slashed it threw the air, sending her own blast towards Sarama. Once she saw

this she slashed her own sword threw the air and the two blasts collided with each other,

causing an explosion of colors and then they disappeared. The two jumped towards each other

and tried their best to make contact with the other but they were too equally matched. Kirashu

appeared and her double smiled evilly as she pushed Sarama out of the way and sent an arrow

shooting towards the half-demon. The demon slayer jumped into the arrows path and luckily

blocked it with her sword, she didn't have time to breath out a sigh of relief because she

soon felt herself being tackled by her double and pinned to the ground. Sarama tossed and

turned under the weight but she couldn't free herself, she looked into her double's cold

eyes and watched as they widened as she looked at the crystal around her neck. "The crystal..."

The double said faintly as she grabbed it from Sarama and jumped away from the her, staring

at it as it glowed a black color. 'She's going to make a wish with the crystal!'

"No, don't!" Sarama screamed out, but it was too late. "I wish ... for my master to be alive

again!" Sarama's eyes grew with fear as she heard this wish. The crystal began to glow darker

and darker and began to burn the double alive. Both Sarama and Kirashu watched in horror as

it destroyed the double and left nothing of her, after it was all finished there was an eerie

silence. The demon slayer looked at the crystal, it was still glowing darkly, an evil aura

seemed to be around it. She stood up and walked toward it, almost afraid to touch it for

the idea of what it might do to her. 'Why would it do anything to me? I have touched it many

times, and it hasn't done anything like that, though, I haven't seen anyone wish upon it

before though.' With that thought she kneeled down and grabbed the crystal, watching it as

it immediately started to glow blue and then become normal again. 'Did the wish come true?

Is he alive?' Kirashu walked over to his mate and placed a reassuring hand on her shoulder

as he joked, "Well, that's one way to get rid of somebody." Sarama looked at him and he

saw the worry in her eyes, and the fear. "But is he alive? Did it come true? Your older brother

said..." "Don't listen to my brother he's an idiot, and a liar." Kirashu brought her into

an intimate embrace as he said softly in her ear, "Remember, I'll always protect you."

/p

Far away from where Kirashu and Sarama were embracing each other Nasaou, the demon who had

killed Sarama's village and parents, was coming to life again. Though he was alive the

crystal had strangely protected Sarama as it had him so far away from civilization that he

could not terrorize it, and it had also taken away his memory. He had no reelection of

what had happened and the one who had killed him, it seemed that the cruel crystal had doomed

the terrible demon to an entirety of wandering and searching of who he was.p

The End

/p

Woo hoo! Finished! *dances about* But, don't worry, if you are a fan of this story, which

I know I have VERY little, I have several ideas for a sequel, or even several sequels. One

being an almost (bleh) Kikyou/InuYasha story thing, but don't worry, Sarama would stay the same and

Kirashu would, another with their child, just lots of ideas, but the way to make them work,

hmmmm... lol. Thanks to my reviewers, and a personal thanks to Sarah Barah who reviewed

my story from the beginning and inspired me not to give up on it, cause as you can tell from

the review amount, I'm not too. Anyway, keep your eyes open for the next sequel/sequels.
