Unwanted Tears Shed

by Sarah

Chapter Name, Out of a Bad Situation #11, enjoy!

Kirashu stared at Sarama and then turned to catch Siasku's gaze, blushing deeply and then looking down at the ground.

'Love her, Siasku? No, I couldn't love her, she is a kind girl, but I'm in love with Sarama. But I've protected like I would protect Sarama.'

Kirashu decided to stop thinking, he didn't know what he thought. The demon slayer stared at the two, watching their reactions to her question. The young girl blushed a deep red and Kirashu also blushed deeply, but she had to get away from her reincarnation, or else she might do something she would deeply regret.

"I must leave. I see I have no answer to my question, Good-bye for now, my dear Kirashu."

It was hard to place her bow and arrow away, she seemed to be fighting herself with every move she made. As she held Kirashu and Siasku to the ground so that they wouldn't follow her she cast one last glance at her reincarnation and felt the passion of killing the

young girl flare up inside of her, her blue eyes blazing wildly as the two which looked so alike, yet so different, stared at each other.

'I must get away, I can't harm this young girl...'

With this thought Sarama walked quickly away, ignoring Kirashu's call at her retreating figure.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Kirashu looked sadly at Sarama's retreating figure, and called out to her, but he knew that she was gone, and holding both him and Siasku to the ground. Once she was completely gone from view the half-demon felt himself being released and was ready to chase after the demon slayer again when he heard Siasku walking away. He felt torn between the two, he wanted to try and save Sarama from whatever happened to her, and he knew that Siasku was probably very confused. The half-demon decided to go after Siasku, and he didn't have to work hard to catch up with the young girl.

"Siasku! Hey, slow down you dumb girl!"

Siasku turned to the half-demon and placed her hands on her hips, she looked angry and hurt at the same time.

"Kirashu, I am not a dumb girl, and if you believe that, then your wrong, okay? Just because I'm not a superb fighter, or a fighter at all, doesn't mean I'm dumb! And why didn't you ever tell me about you and Sarama? You said that you two were pretty much enemies, and Kokiyu said that Sarama had gotten your respect, and that's why you were so determined to get back her remains."

The young girl said this all in one breath, not even looking flustered at saying so much in such a short amount of time. Kirashu looked down at the ground, he wanted to push the girl away from himself, but he didn't want to hurt her.

"Listen Siasku, you and Sarama are very much different, like you all ready know. It's just... I really don't want to talk about it. There is so much to be told, and it ... hurts me to say it."

Siasku's anger disappeared as she heard this, the young girl placed a comforting hand on the half-demon's shoulder, smiling gently as she said, "I wish you'd tell me, but ... whenever you're ready Kirashu."

The half-demon felt stunned, to say the least, stunned by himself by saying it wasn't any of the girl's business, and stunned by her that she wasn't still angry at him.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The young girl called to Sosiyu but the stallion wasn't near, and Kirashu turned his back to her as he said, "Hop on."

Siasku looked at the half-demon as if he had grown another head, "What?!"

Kirashu flattened his dog ears against his head at the high tone of her voice.

"Not so loud! My ears are sensitive, you know? I told you to hop on because unless you don't you and I will be walking to the campsite, and then it'll be completely dark."

Siasku walked awkwardly over to the half-demon, wrapping her arms and legs around him, and blushing deeply at doing this. Once Kirashu knew that she was not going to fall off he took off running, his legs barely touching the ground before quickly brought up again. They were finally back to the campsite in no time, Kirashu gently placed the young girl on the ground, and heard her mumble a soft, "Thanks."

"Hey you two! Why did you leave me alone? where did you guys go?"

Kokiyu rambled, as she gave them both an annoyed look for leaving her behind. The two were strangely quiet, and Kokiyu decided not to ask them anymore questions, whatever had happened she wouldn't pressure them to tell her. The night held an uncomfortable silence between all three of them. Kokiyu was wondering what was wrong with the two, Siasku was still remembering the look Sarama had given her, and Kirashu was wondering why the demon slayer had asked him if he loved Siasku. They all decided to finally go to sleep, knowing that it would be one of those sleepless nights. Siasku fell asleep on the ground, every toss and turn brought another question to her head.

'Why did she ask if Kirashu loved me? I mean, I don't love him, I said I liked his ears, and the way he looked...'

Siasku had to go to sleep, she knew it, but she had one more question before she did, 'Why did she look like she wanted to kill me?'

"There, completely done! I must say, pretty good." The young girl beamed at Kirashu, making him raise his eyebrow as he thought, 'Great, now I look really dumb with bandages on my hand.' "You do know that us half-demons heal quicker than humans? I should be just fine in a few hours." "Well, just in case, okay?" Siasku said with a smile, not looking taken aback by his comment.
