Unwanted Tears Shed

Chapter Name, An Old Enemy, Yikiana #16, enjoy!
Siasku woke up the next morning feeling that she was missing something, but what she didn't know.
'What am I missing... The sword!'
Siasku sat up with a start, her eyes falling on her side where the sword would be, but it was gone. She looked at Kirashu and then half-demon was still resting, so she slowly snuck out of the campsite and headed to where she met Sarama yesterday.
'I hope I can find it, though the sword does belong to her so if she took it isn't exactly mine.' She looked down at the ground and was surprised to see the powerful sword glistening in the sun, and Siasku kneeled down and stared at the sword.
'It looks really perfect, not a scratch on it, I can't believe this is the sword that killed more than a hundred demons in one stroke, and killed hundreds more.'
The young girl touched the blade of the sword and then picked it up, and immediately noticed how it felt much lighter than when she first held onto the sword. 'Huh, weird, I wonder if I can use it.'
Siasku began to slash the sword threw the air, though it looked more like a flailing of her arms then the graceful movement in which the demon slayer used it. '
Geez, good thing I never fight, I'm absolutely horrible at it. I can't even get the hang of moving a sword around. Why wonder Kirashu was mates with Sarama, she's strong, proud, really pretty... And I'm just, me.' Siasku held her head lower, feeling depressed at her sudden thoughts.
'I will not be just a weakling!' Siasku thought fiercely to herself, slashing the sword across the sword and watching in amazement as a blue light came from the sword and collided threw a tree, causing it to snap in half.
"Eep!" The young girl jumped backwards and let go of the sword as if it had burned her, and eyed it for a few seconds before picking it up and sheathing it again.
'I am NEVER doing that again, I might take someone's head off! I think I'll stick with trying to figure out the bow and arrows, I like working with them more than the sword, though all which I did the first I tried to shot an arrow was hurt myself. But, I'll keep on trying until I get it.'
With this thought she grabbed an arrow and brought the bow string taunt, ready to aim it at the tree ahead of her when she heard a familiar, "Hey!"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Kirashu woke up the next day anything besides being well rested. He had slept in late, strangely concentrating on Siasku's scent to get the little sleep he got.
'Thinking about Siasku, I wonder if she's up,' Kirashu looked to where she had fallen asleep but he noticed that she was gone.
'Not again, now I have to track her down again.' Kirashu ran toward the scent of the girl and didn't notice that she was practicing with her bow and arrows and said, "Hey!" to get her attention. The young girl jumped at the sound, turning to face who said this and accidentally sent the arrow flying forward, missing the half-demon's head by mere inches.
"Watch it you stupid girl!" Kirashu barked at Siasku.
"Um, sorry Kirashu, I'm horrible with this fighting stuff. Guess even though I am a reincarnation of a great female demon slayer I'm not quite graced with being able to shoot an arrow right," Siasku said with a sad sigh, her head bowing somewhat.
"Feh, it's all right, just watch where your shooting those things next time, okay?" Kirashu was ready to tell her to hop on his back but immediately jumped onto the girl as he screamed out, "Watch out!"
The half-demon didn't know why he had felt the attack before it had happened, but he saved the girl just in time. Kirashu stood protectively in front of Siasku, as he looked to see who had attacked them.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
A demon stood a few feet away from Kirashu and Siasku, he looked almost human, except his elf-like ears gave him away. The demon had long, wavy black hair, brown eyes, and fangs which showed as he smiled at Kirashu.
"Hello Kirashu, seems like I missed you, Nasaou has sent me to kill you, so don't try to fight it."
The half-demon growled and thought for a few seconds, knowing that he had seen this demon before. Then it hit him, 'This is the demon which attacked me and Sarama years ago...'
Seeing the recognition on the half-demon's face made the demon's smile broaden as he said, "I shall take that girl after I kill you, Nasaou will enjoy killing her very much. Oh, by the way, my name is Yikiana."
Kirashu jumped forward at Yikiana, his anger getting the best of him as he was just thrown easily into a tree, colliding with it hard and falling down to the ground with a painful groan.
"Kirashu!"
Siasku screamed out to the half-demon, and found herself faced with the cold-hearted demon as he smiled evilly at her and grabbed her wrist, digging his claws into the young girl's skin.
"Ouch!" Siasku screamed out in pain, slapping the demon as she pulled her hand out of Yikiana's grasp and jumped away from him. The young girl grabbed her bow and arrow, shockingly holding them as she pointed the arrow at the demon's left shoulder. She didn't want to kill him, she only wanted to stop him from advancing forwards.
"You better stay away from me! I may not know how to use this but I am dangerous with my bad aim!"
'Great job Siasku, that really is going to scare him,' she thought to herself as the young girl noticed that saying this only made the demon come quicker at her, his eyes suddenly turning a blood red.
"I warned you!" Siasku said as she let go of the bow string and sent the arrow whistling forward, watching in amazement as the arrow did hit it's mark, though barely. The arrow grazed Yikiana's shoulder, sending the demon into a sort of rage as he jumped at the girl, and landed onto of her as he pinned her arms against the ground and smiled as she struggled against his hold as much as possible. She couldn't loosen his grip, and she finally opened her eyes as the demon lifted his hand above the young girl's head to bring it across her face, but was stopped as something ran into him.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
If you read the first story, you might remember Yikiana, he played a small part. And if you read the chapter before we're going to come to a bit of a twist and realization, pieces come together. See, I didn't just put the hot springs in there for the heck of it, I actionally gave you guys so important information. [crickets] Ahem, well, till the next chapter!
