Chapter 3. This one took me longer cause peoples kept calling me and homework. Yeah. SO hurray! Here we goooooooooo

As soon as Kaida got outside she ran back inside. She slid open the door again and looked inside at the two beds. She put he hand on her chin to think.

"Hmmm. Okay if he was married where is his wife? Maybe she died and he doesn't have the heart to get rid of it. Naw. Maybe she's just in town?" This got Kaida really thinking. She started pacing back and forth. "Maybe it's his son? But where would be? In the forest playing? But if he had a son he would need a woman and he would need 3 beds. Then um.erm.er. WHY DO I EVEN CARE?" Kaida yelled then covered her mouth hopping that Hiko didn't hear. Her violet eyes darted back and forth to see if she could see any sigh of the master. She took her hands of her lips and heaved a sigh.

".I'm going for a walk." Kaida said and walked out of the hut. She looked around and saw path leading down the mountainside. It shouldn't be to bad just a little walk then back up that would be it. She walked past Hiko working hard on his pots and with little Miko sitting in his lap purring like a motor.

"Traitor." She said muttered under her breath to Miko as she walked past them. Hiko didn't know where she was going less cared! Kaida slowly walked down the rocky terrain trying not to fall on he face. She was also enjoying the scenery as she walked.

"Help." A soft whisper sounded.

"Wha?" She her head turned right to left and saw nothing then she had the idea of looking down. She regretted looking down at the ground almost immediately. Her sight was the policeman that led her up the mountain. He was surrounded by dark blood that was dripping off the narrow path.

"Policeman-san!" She yelled getting down on her knees. "What happened?" She said petting his hair covered in messy black hair trying to soothe him, as she was mother trying to clam a troubled child.

"They.cam-me.look..ing.f-f-for." His head dropping the pudding of blood as his life ended so cruelly. His eyes were still wide open as if he was still alive. She reached out his hand and pushed his eyelids down. She stood up and started to run back. When she finally got there Hiko was still making pots.

"Hiko!" Kaida said and started to pant. "I saw-"

"I thought we made a deal that you call me almightily master from now on." Hiko interrupted and stopped with his work and the little kitten still sitting in his lap.

"Okay, whatever but policeman-san-" Kaida tried again but was useless.

"You didn't even learn his name?" Hiko said now stroking Miko like he was an evil person of some sort.

"That's not the point!" Kaida said still trying to get through to him. "I saw him-"

"There's blood on the bottom of your kimono." Hiko said looking down at the bottom of her kimono that looked like it was dipped in red paint.

"Yes! That's what I'm trying to tell you!" Kaida said frustrated. "I saw the police man- san in a puddle of his own blood! I don-" Before Kaida was finished she picked up by Hiko. Hiko darted back and forth almost faster then the human eye could see.

"Wha- What's happening?" Kaida said surprised by him picking her up it also scared. He stopped and turned around.

"Look." Hiko put her down her feet touched the ground, as she looked she saw knifes everywhere. He hadn't picked her up she would be dead.

"But why?" She said looking up at the man that towered over her. Before he could answer 2 men were before them. Before they could open there mouth Hiko sprang fore word and sliced the men in half but he did not stop it from blood flying everywhere including on Kaida. The dark blood didn't really seem to show on the black kimono. Her face had a couple splashing that were starting to drip down and landing on the ground as if they were tears. Hiko lowered his sword that had the ruby blood that seemed to drip like water off of it. Hiko turned his head to the side seeing Kaida covered in blood. He walked over to Kaida.

"Well since it's already destroy then you wouldn't mid if." Hiko said getting his and grabbed the side of her kimono and started to wipe the blood on his sword on her Kimono. Hiko not knowing how easily kimono's come apart Kaida was holding on to the neck for dear life.

"WHAT THE H*LL DO YOU THINK YOU DOING?!" Kaida shrieked at Hiko was still wiping off the sword.

"Well you can't expect me to keep my sword that saved your life covered in those simple-minded idiot's blood." Hiko said not delaying at all of wiping the blood on her kimono.

"Well what if you cut!" Kaida still said yelling at him.

"You know how to sew. All women do." Hiko said now shining his sword with her kimono.

"You are such a stereotype!" Kaida said still clutching to her kimono trying not to have it fall off. "Some women don't know how."

"Do you?"

"Yes. But that's not point! Don't you carry around a rag or something?" She said quickly.

"Yes I do." Hiko said not delaying by wiping the blood on it.

"B*stard." Kaida muttered looking to the side she could her water.

"Why are you more apprehensive about your kimono then the blood?" Hiko questioned. He let go of her kimono and started to get up.

"When I was 6 my father killed my mother and himself in front of me." Kaida said with such ease like it was nothing. "I'm going to wash my self now."

She said and turned around and started to walk away from the large man to the hut and grabbed her velvet bag and started to walk away. Hiko shrugged and looked around this just hit him. 'Where's Miko?' He thought. Not that he was worried about the filthy beast. He just wanted to know where he was.

"Mew! Mew! Mew! Mew! Mew!"

Hiko raised an eyebrow and walked over to his pots were the mewing was coming from. He looked around at them and the saw one of the pots moving back forth like it was dancing. Hiko put his hand in there and pulled out the kitten the reserved it's whiteness. The kitten looked up at him with her pale blue eyes. "Meow!"

Hiko dropped the kitten on ground and walked away.

~* Meanwhile *~

Kaida untied her obi as her kimono fell off. (Sorry peoples no nuddy scenes in this chapter!) That left her white undergarments. She looked up at the waterfall that was pouring down. She gently folded up her kimono and set it in the water hopping it soaking in the clear water will help get off most of the blood.

She stepped into the cold water and saw rock under waterfall that she could sit on and hopped that it was wash away all of the blood that had been splatter with. Sure she's seen almost most of her life but it didn't mean she was pleased when it was on her or when she saw. It just doesn't have the same affect. When she reached the rock she sat on it. She tried to keep her head up but it was hard because of the water pounded down on and putting on pressure. She Struggled to open her eyes because of the water was pushing down. When she finally got it open enough to see. She almost closed them again. The blood in the water mad her feel abnormal.

She squeezed her hair to see if she could drain water out of her hair and hopping to get the blood out. It made her shiver thinking about the blood dripping off of her.

~* Meanwhile *~

Hiko was looking at what was left of the torn up bodies. He shrugged and kicked them into the bushes. Then looked at the trail of knifes that led after them. He put his hand on his chin and looked at them.

"Mew?" Miko questioned Hiko.

~* Erm. not meanwhile anymore? *~

Kaida carefully walked out from under the waterfall. She went to her bag and opened it and pulled out a Hakama and gi. This wasn't to foreign to her. She knew that this was a man's kimono but she didn't care. She took off the wet under garments and folded them also and pulled out some dry ones. She put them on as fast as she could almost to fast. She really didn't want Hiko to walk in on her with no clothing. She almost threw on the kimono then picked up her wet clothing and walked back to camp. What site she found.

"Awwww. Does someone love Miko?" Kaida said making her voice high and mushy. Hiko was stroking the cat and Miko was purring like a motor. Hiko looked at the Kaida.

"Not at all. Just trying to figure our where I'm going to skin it." Hiko said as his smirk appeared on his face.

"YOU WOULDN'T DARE!" She said dropping her bag and soggy clothes and running over to Hiko and Miko. Hiko being tall raised the cat over his head.

"Come on give her back!" Kaida said jumping up in the air trying to retrieve the white kitten. So he dropped the kitten and this kitten didn't have the best history of landed on her feet. Kaida put her hands out and it landed in her arms. "I wouldn't let him touch you Neko-chan." She said stroking him.

(Okay that's it for now! Whee! Hmmm.. Hiko is so evil..)
