Chapter4: I Promise

The sun shown bright and the air was fresh and clean. The day was almost perfect if it wasn't for all of the family crowded around Arena all the time. Ever since the attack 4 weeks ago they were so up tight, and over protective. They acted as if she were going to disappear forever if they blinked.

"Will you all stop staring at me! I am ok now. Hello are yall even lessoning to me?"

Arena was getting fed up with all this attention she was getting. Before she would have wanted nothing more than to get her family to notice her and love her, but now she wanted to be left alone.

"Oh I better make some lunch!" Said a happy Mel.

"Oh Arena will you go shopping with me today? Please? I know you don't like to, but the spring festival is coming soon. Plus you need a new Kimono. Your old one is about to fall apart. Will you come with me?"

That's the way Trista had been acting ever since the attack also. She was around more and wanted to go places all the time with Arena.

'I hope this is just a faze for my family. A short faze.' Thought Arena.

Baku just smiled "Well Trista she would love to go but not after she dose her training and work out before hand."

"All right than.." Said a little disappointed Trista.

After at least 30 more minutes of smiling and staring the rest of the family left. After a little of basking in the silence and being alone Arena got dressed and ready to train. Once outside Arena begins her warm up. Nothing like a good run.

Arena's warm up was a light run for 3 miles. It took her a little convincing her father that she would be fine going out alone. But all in all she was able to get his permission to go.

'It took me a while but I did it. I am back in shape.' Thought Arena.

'After being in bed for so long I was doing nothing. I can't afford to be out of shape. I can't end up like I did last time. I will get stronger. I wont make a stupid mistake like I did last time. I just cant. I know I am better than that!'

Arena had been running for a while now when she felt as if something were wrong. Something in the back of her mind was telling her that something was going to happen. Maybe she was imagining it, but she knew that she was trained to believe in her gut feelings and instinct.

Arena than begin to slow down so not to show that she knew something was going on.

'There, there it is again I knew it! I can sense that stupid demon. Why is he following me? Wait his energy was like that demon that had attacked me last time. He couldn't be alive could he?'

Arena than in a flash was gone. The monster that had been following her was astonished.

'Where did that felthy human go?'

In no more or less than a second Arena was on top of the demon hitting it in the face repeatedly. The demon than growled out in protest and throw her off him. The demon now understood why he had been killed.

"I was right you aren't the same demon that I had killed. You are its brother."

'That's why his energy was almost identical to the other one.'

A low chuckle could be made out from the demon in front of her.

"Now I know why my brother fell to a human. He had under estimated you."

True his brother had thought that this human standing in front of him was an easy prey. But he saw right through it the moment she had disappeared.

"You are a strong human I will give you that. But I am not my brother so don't expect to think you can kill me so easily."

"Who ever said any demon was easy to kill is a fool."

The demon than acknowledge that statement for a while as if he was trying to process the meaning behind it.

After a no more than a minute of a time laps the demon attacked. He wasn't going to waste time, or give her anytime for a rebound. He went straight for the head. Arena then made a graceful dodge. It was true she had become a lot stronger within that little time. She was so determined to become stronger that she pushed herself to the limits and beyond.

'He wasn't kidding when he said that he wasn't a push over like his brother. I am getting tired and I better end this fast. I have the upper hand when it comes to the attack's power, but he has the stamina.'

Arena wasn't the only one to notice this. The demon had noticed that her attacks were getting slower and desperate. She was getting tired and he knew it wasn't going to be long before she would slip up.

Arena than made an attempt to hit the demon in the stomach but missed terribly. The demon than took this as a chance to slow her down even more. The demon than hit her in the head. She than went to the ground in pain. All she could see was stars.

'I need to get up or I am a goner.'

The demon was about to make his final blow but was stopped. Standing behind him holding his wrist was a Silver haired demon.

"You again.." said a disgruntled Arena.

In a blink of an eye Sesshomaru had slain the demon. Sesshomaru was about to leave when he was stopped by a question from the woman on the ground.

"Why did you save me? You tried to kill me last time. Why?"

Sesshomaru stood there like a statue not answering the question.

"Because I and only I will be the one to kill you."

Arena was a little brought back by that answer, but her question had not been answered.

"But.." she was quickly cut off by his last words.

Sesshomaru than turned around to look her in the eye to show that he was serious.

"I promise that no one will touch you or attack you until you are strong enough to fight me. I will be the one to kill you."

As he stood there the sun was acting of it's own free will. He stood there with the sun shining on his back giving the impression that he was glowing. All that came to her mind when she saw this was 'My Silver God'.

She sat there holding her breath. She hadn't even known that she was holding her breath. Arena than slowly got up, only to see that he was gone.

'Why did I think that? He isn't a God he is going to kill me. But than again he saved me. Silver God.'
