Unwanted Tears Shed

Chapter Name: A new foe, Nasanna, the demoness #27, enjoy!
=========================
Siasku now laid in a somewhat open meadow, her usually bright eyes were drained of any emotion and she had cried herself till there were no tears left in her.
'Why I'm I so sad? I never knew heartbreak felt like this', Siasku thought as she rolled on her side, her eyes blankly staring at nothing as she still remembered Kirashu's golden eyes.
'I could see his soul when I looked into his eyes, that loneliness, sadness, grief, all of it, I saw every emotion he was trying to cover up.'
At that moment the girl knew that she loved the half-demon, loved him for his gruff side, and the hidden emotions which he never showed her up until that moment. And somehow, she knew that he had purposely shown his emotions to her, to maybe help her understand what he felt; though he probably didn't know he was doing it.
'He's so confusing! But I can't really love him, can I? He's never shown any interest in me, we never even came close to kissing. But still ... he's the first guy, well, half-demon, who's ever protected me, and he has. But I know Kirashu will be happy with Sarama, though the demon slayer has attacked me, and Kirashu; I just can see the same loneliness and sadness that Kirashu has. She never wanted to hate him, but something happened. I just wish that Kirashu had told me what.'
Siasku felt so confused, she just wanted to fall asleep, since it was nighttime, but she couldn't. Again, and again Kirashu and Sarama's kiss played in her head, she willed it to stop, but it just wouldn't.
'I hope that no one comes after me. I'll deeply miss Kokiyu, and of course Kirashu, but I should just go home. This isn't my mission anyway.'
The young girl felt her heart ache at this thought, but she just ignored it. By tomorrow she would try to muster up the strength within her to travel back to her village alone.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Kirashu looked down at the still unconscious form of Sarama, smiling sadly as he planted a soft kiss on her head and walked over to where Kokiyu was sitting.
"I remember ... when she fought against those hundreds of demons which tried to destroy your village Kokiyu, and she stopped them all with one slash of her sword. And she nearly killed herself, the stupid woman."
The half-demon spoke in a sad tone, looking down at the ground as he felt his eyes fill with unshed tears. Kokiyu looked at Kirashu and placed her hand on his shoulder.
"I remember also, Sarama did so much to not only save me, but save so many other lives. It is so strange for her to be alive again, and be so different from her carefree self, but still care about us."
"It would be a lot easier if she didn't, wouldn't it? Not to me though, even if she hated me till she could hate no more, I would still love her. And I know it would be the same for her if Nasaou had killed me instead of her."
The young woman smiled sadly at the half-demon. She didn't have to hear his words to know that it was true, she knew that the two would always love each other. Even when Sarama had promised her that she felt only hate for Kirashu, she knew that deep down, the love which she felt for the half-demon still burned within her.
Kokiyu watched as Kirashu's golden eyes went from looking at the ground to looking far away, she could see the want in his eyes, the want for someone to come back.
"You miss her, don't you? Siasku, that is."
Kirashu gave a faint smile, all of his barriers which he had put up to keep anyone from coming into his heart after Sarama's death seemed to be falling down, and he decided not to respond with his usual gruffness and give the young woman the truth.
"Yes, I do. To think, I convinced myself that I only protected her because she looked like Sarama, but they are completely different. I don't want to leave Siasku alone but I also don't want to leave Sarama alone. I want to know who did this to her, and I also promised to protect Sarama also."
Kokiyu watched as the half-demon gave a sigh and knew that he felt much more than this, but decided that they both needed rest and stood up to walk away.
"Here, I don't want you sleeping on this hard ground, you need a sound sleep for tomorrow." Kirashu said as he held out his outer shirt to the young girl, giving her the same faint smile.
"You know, did anyone ever tell you that you really are a softy?" Kokiyu asked in a teasing voice.
"No, and I hope that no one calls me a damn softy." Kirashu said in a gruff tone, though there was a faint glimmer in his eye which seemed to tell otherwise.
"Well, goodnight Kirashu."
Kokiyu said with a yawn as she laid not too far away from the demon slayer. He watched as she gripped the necklace which Sarama had given her, and her body somewhat relaxed at the touch of the small jewel. Kirashu smiled at this and walked over to Sarama's still form, he slowly knelt down and placed his head on the woman's shoulder.
"Wake up soon, Sarama."
The half-demon said barely above a whisper, as he took in her soothing scent and finally drifted off to sleep.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The next morning came quickly, and Sarama was the first to wake up. The demon slayer slowly opened her eyes and turned her head as she felt something warm lying next to her.
'It's Kirashu. Has he been with me all night?'
The demon slayer thought as she brought a hand to Kirashu's face, smiling sadly as she did. Suddenly, she felt something stop her, and a terrible pain course threw her body. The worst of the pain was where Nasaou had dug into her skin, leaving a scar on her right arm which was now strangely glowing darkly.
"What happened? Why did I get this scar?" Sarama asked softly as she looked down at it. She tried to remember whatever had happened but whenever she did she felt a terrible pain in her head and the scar. Kirashu woke up at that moment and his golden eyes stared into her blue eyes.
'She's so beautiful, so very beautiful. But her eyes, they hold so much sadness and loneliness in them. I wish I could do something, anything, to see happiness in them again.' Kirashu thought as he stared at her and felt himself leaning closer to the demon slayer, he was mere inches away from her face when he heard a voice interrupt him.
"Sarama! You're awake again!"
Kokiyu exclaimed as she kneeled down beside the demon slayer and wrapped her arms around her.
"Yes, Kokiyu, and I'm fine too. Where did my reincarnation go...?"
Kirashu and Kokiyu looked at each other for a second, and the demon slayer suddenly knew that the girl was gone.
"Sarama, Siasku left. She saw you and Kirashu and she immediately left, we have to go find her. But, how did you know she was here?"
"I can feel the girl's presence whenever she is close, just like I can feel you and Kirashu's presence whenever either one of you are nearby. But, I can feel when the girl is around only because she has my soul."
Kokiyu watched as the demon slayer slowly stood up and winced in pain. She began to walk away but Kirashu was immediately in front of her, staring at her with concern in his golden eyes.
"You're hurt Sarama. Where are you going?"
"I'm going to find my reincarnation, the girl must be in a lot of pain, and it is my fault. I wish to talk to her alone."
Kirashu nodded at this and watched as the demon slayer walked past him and into the forest. He knew that the woman had tried to hurt Siasku before but he trusted her more than anyone else and knew that she wouldn't lie.
'Maybe she would lie, but I think she's right in talking to Siasku alone. I don't think anything which me or Kokiyu would say would make a difference.'
Kokiyu stood with Kirashu and watched the demon slayer walk away, hoping that whatever Sarama would say to Siasku might make the girl feel better and come back again.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Siasku hadn't gotten any sleep that night and she didn't even seem to notice it was morning. She had never felt so sad in her whole life, it was terrible, and she couldn't find a way to feel any better.
'They love each other very much, maybe Sarama can come back to life and they can happily together. And I can just ... just...'
The young girl didn't want to finish her thought. She was going to go back to her boring with in the village. She had no one who protected her like the way Kirashu did, no family or relatives to watch over her, since her mother and father had died when she was very young she couldn't remember them. The villagers watched over her and were always kind to her, but they didn't protect her like Kirashu, and though there were several young men her age which seemed interested in her they didn't make her feel the way Kirashu made her feel.
'They didn't make me feel loved, or watched over. They didn't make my heart flutter or my breath catch when they smiled or said something nice. Only Kirashu has done that, that gruff half-demon.'
Siasku smiled faintly at this thought, but felt her smile disappear as she felt new, unshed tears forming in her blue eyes. She tried to hold them back, but she soon gave up as she felt them roll one-by-one down the side of her cheeks.
"Siasku?"
The young girl finally sat up and looked to see who had called her name. The voice was soft with emotion, but seemed to be cold and filled with hatred at the same time. The young girl watched as Sarama walked into the clearing where she was sitting and the demon slayer kneeled next to her.
"Why did you run away?"
The demon slayer asked as her eyes remained cold and emotionless, she could feel the scar burning hatred threw her, but she ignored it as she waited for the young girl's answer.
"I saw you kiss him, and this battle isn't mine to be a part in. I'm only your reincarnation, I was never harmed by this Nasaou demon so I have no reason to travel with Kirashu and Kokiyu," Siasku said sadly as she looked at the ground.
"You do have a reason. Kirashu and Kokiyu care for you, I can see it in their eyes. They would not want you to leave them," Sarama said as she watched the young girl look up at her and give her a faint smile.
"You really think so? I thought they only cared because I look like you."
"Yes, I do think so. You are not me, and they know that. I think you should return to them again, they look very worried for you. I shall continue wandering, and try to find Nasaou."
With this said the demon slayer stood up again to leave but stopped as she felt a familiar evil aura and a cold voice speak.
"My, my, how touching."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Kirashu walked by himself after Sarama had left. He hated to leave Kokiyu alone too but he told himself that the young woman could take care of herself just fine.
'I thought that I was confused when Sarama and I fell in love. That's nothing compared to having the same women that look the same but are completely different.'
The half-demon didn't even since the presence or scent of a demon until he finally ran into it. He immediately knew that trees weren't soft and broke out of his daze in time to jump backwards and see who he had ran into.
The 'it' was a beautiful demoness. Her black hair nearly fell to the ground, and was pulled back by a ribbon. She had porcelain like skin, and deep, violet eyes. He could barely see her elf-like ears but he could sense what she was. She wore a tight-fitting kimono which slit in two in the middle, exposing her porcelain skin and midriff.
"Why, hello to you too," the woman purred as she lightly dusted her clothes.
"And who the hell are you?!" Kirashu asked gruffly as he fingered his sword and watched as she walked towards him.
"The infamous mate of the powerful demon slayer, Sarama. I have heard many things about you."
"I'm not really infamous, just well known. And you still haven't answered my question, wench."
"Do you call all the pretty woman wenches or am I just special?" The woman asked, smiling as she stood inches away from him.
"You're special because you're dressed like a wench. What are you doing here?"
"I know that you find me beautiful, but not as beautiful as that demon slayer. No worries though, I will fix that in a second," the demoness said in a seductive voice as she brought her thumb up to Kirashu and pressed it against his forehead.
At first, the half-demon felt nothing. But, suddenly, he began to feel dizzy, his head started to hurt as he saw images of Sarama and him flash before his eyes and then disappear. He growled as the pain increased and the images jumped to Siasku, and he fell to the ground as he gripped his head.
"What...the..hell...did you do to me...you..damn..wench?" Kirashu stammered as he knew that he was being drained of the memories of the two women.
"I have orders from Nasaou to erase your memories, Kirashu. Don't worry, it will all be over soon," the woman said as she grinned evilly at him and watched as he placed his head on the ground and began to dig his claws into his head.
"Oh yes, and my name is Nasanna. Remember it, because it will be the only thing you will remember when I am threw with you."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Oh yeah, now this is the good stuff, eh? Who is this Nasanna? Are there any more demons which Kokiyu, Siasku, and Kirashu be running into? Who was that who found Siasku and Kokiyu? Was it Nasaou, or one of his minions? So, many questions, so little time! Come back soon to find out next chapter should be up soon! Oh, and I have enough reviews for the last chapter to do a review response, woo hoo! lol.
