Episode 11

I Won't Be Here Forever

A Scar That Will Last Forever

Asmera had ran into the dojo as Madessia was cleaning the floors.

"Hey, Genkai wants to see you," said Asmera, smiling cheerfully.

"Sensei wants to see me?" asked Madessia.

Asmera nodded.

Genkai had never ever interrupted Madessia during her chores....why was she starting now?

Madessia ran out of the dojo into the hall...knocking first before entering Genkai's bed chamber.

"Enter."

Madessia walked in bowing shortly.

"You wanted to see me Sensei?" she asked.

Genkai stared up at her.

"How many times do I have to tell you Madessia, to not call me Sensei and call me Genkai....you don't need to be so respectful around me it makes me feel like some sort of master," said Genkai.

"I'm sorry," muttered Madessia.

"You have worked alot around the house,morning,day, and night. We provide you with shelter and clothing, but after that you support us and yourself, and I feel most guilty by not owing you more in return," said Genkai.

"There is nothing you owe me, I had more work back home since I had many brothers and sisters and my parents sold me to Rionia," said Madessia.

Genkai looked at Madessia, in that way where she was saying without even saying it, "Your parents are bakas."

"I want you to learn my defense ways my friend. I want you to learn my Martial Arts, Madessia I have to repay you for everything no matter what you say..I owe you. Your parents put you through hell and I want to show you a family," said Genkai.

Madessia looked a Genkai, Madessia's eyes were soft and surprised.

"I am a cat demon you know," said Madessia.

"Yeah but if it wasn't for Asmera you would've been dead," said Genkai.

Madessia nodded,"True."

Kurama had fingered Madesia's throat.

It was defantly....bloody...but she would be able to talk.

Kurama had ended up lying beside her, which gave him advantage to place his arms around her.

Karasu was dead, there was no harm to him anyone.

Kurama just ended up with a couple bruises and some scratches.

Madessia's eyes shot open but soo softened knowing that all fear was gone and Kurama and Asmera had took care of everything.

"You're up," whispered Kurama.

Madessia about in surprise fell off the bed but Kurama catched her.

"You frightened me. I didn't know you were here," said Madessia.

Kurama laughed.

"What? I've slept with you before and you've never complained," he said.

((A/N:NO they DO NOT have a kid...if you remember correctly in Episode 4 that Kurama and Madessia had fallen asleep together without even knowing it. Yeah so...um.....this isn't any different...O.O)

Madessia blushed furriousily.

"Well....um..because I knew you were there," said Madessia.

"What? You thought I was Karasu?" asked Kurama, kissing her gently.

"Does it really matter who I thought you were?" asked Madessia, annoyed.

"That scar on your neck will last forever...that is what Karasu wanted yo do, haunt you," said Madessia.

"You as well I think, since you seemed to be an old friend of his," said Madessia.

Kurama shook his head.

"No, were were...not friends," he said.

"I won't be here forever Kurama, I can't stand by you.....I was so close to dying...next time it might be that I die," said Madessia.

Asmera looked at the sky, the stars glared at her tonight more than any other.

She was still badly injured but she didn't care she was fighting next battle, she was sure of it.

No more replacements.

She took her Sakabato out of it's guard and swung it in the air, she was still weak but she didn't care.

She trained, killing the ground with the reverse blade.

'Brother this is for you.' she thought.

Her power was gaining up and then...everything around her silenced, she jumped up in the air swung the blade and a huge blast of spirit energy blasted the ground below her causing distruction.

Asmera landed on the ground, breathing hard.

This was her secret weapon.
