"What the hell do you mean GONE!!!" the lord shouted. He seemed to be going pale and red at the same time.
"She's dissappeared completely. She's not in her room or anywhere else on these grounds!" the servantman answered hoping his lord wouldn't go on a rampage like he did last time she went missing.
"Knights! I want my best knights after her! She's not to be harmed. GO! GET OUT BEFORE I KILL!" The knights left the room in a hury leaving behind a stunned audience. As he watched the last of the Knights leave he got up and started to head out the door.
"Know this young man! My daughter is MINE until she is married got it?!?!" yelled the Lord.
Sairyu stared into the lords gaze and answered in a calm voice "She is no ones property. She is no prize to be sought after. She is of divinity though you may not know it, and she shall remain free until the day she chooses. I will not let her be captured even by you, so go and send your knights... but it wont help, for she is stronger than you think." And at that he walked out the door before the boiling lord could make a comeback. As he walked outside a red-tailed hawk came down and perched on his forearm. Sairyu pulled a few grapes from his pouch and fed the bird. Then he put a tightly wrapped note in the birds leg collar. The bird looked at his leg then at Sairyu and seemed to understand so he offeres Sairyu his other leg which also had a collar. Sairyu looked at the message inside and grinned. "She doesn't waste time does she little friend?" and with that the hawk flew off outta sight. Sairyu walked on in the sunset as calm as nature around him.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
As the full moon came out, Sairyu heard a rustle in the leaves and a howl to the moon. He turn to the sounds and grinned.
"She's closer than I thought." he whispered to himself. He looked around for the dark shapes that had been following him for a while now. "Now either the lord's men were better than I thought or a few wolves think they found something." The breeze was gentle as it blew through the valley Sairyu was walking in.
Suddenly the sounds rustling stopped, and out walked a woman that lit a light in Sairyu's eyes that seemed to make her glow. Her long brown hair swayed in the wind as her dark eyes realized who it was.
"SAIRYU!!!!" she yelled as she jumped at him giving him a death-gripping hug. "What took you so long!!"
"Hard to breath! Hard to breath!" he gasped.
"Oh sorry 'bout that." she said while the moonlight brightened her eyes. "You do know that if you ever do anything like that again I'm gonna kill everyone in sight tryin to get you back right?"
"Yea I know, I know," he smiled, "I'm glad your still the same Oni." he added.
She didn't say a word only squeezed the living breath with a hug. "I missed you so much Sairyu." she said after a few moments. "Dad was gonna sell me to the first person he thought was good enough, but mom made him regret ever deciding that, and then he got the idea of a making them prove themselves to him with stupid quests so he could marry me off to one of them while mom was away." she squeezed harder, "he won't let me see any of my friends and when I try to run he sends his knights and mages after me." her voice failed.
"Hey its alright" Sairyu tried to comfort, "I'm here and soon Hikyuu and Zousan will be here to. I won't let anyone hurt you in anyway."
She paused before answering so she could think about what he just said, then "Hikyuu??? Since when did you start calling her Hikyuu? I thought you were formal to piss her off." she said.
"Uh" he said hoping she hadn't caught that, "I figure change can be a good thing." he answered slyly.
After a few moments of recovering Oni stood up and Sairyu inhaled air that had left his system so long ago. Her gray studded armor blended in with the night.

Sairyu: so a couple reunited aww how sweet! hehe
ok so if any of you are wondering this is a Valentines day post so I thought it'd be nice to include one of the exchanged letters. This is for you Oni :)
---------------------Sairyu to Oni--------------------
I'm so happy that a beautiful woman like you has accepted someone like me. You've changed my life more than you may ever realize and I won't let anything happen to change that. No matter how down you feel I'm gonna be with you. And no matter how much you want me to go away I'm still here (I'm stubborn and persistant hehe). So I'd say you got me hooked on you and I love you!
With every fiber of my soul
