"Well we got someone else on the team" Tachira was talking to Reafu and Jorudonu. Jorudonu blushed "Well I just want to help out that is all. I thought that you might need me". "Of course we do, is like having another sister!" exclaimed Reafu and then Tachira asked, "What do you fight with Jorudonu? Reafu is a magician and I have my whip so what do you fight with?" "Well the only thing that I have is this" she pulled forth a long v-shaped weapon it was black with a red ribbon in the middle "it is made out of bone from Vetreonyton the demon of the black bone" explained Jorudonu. "Oh that is so cool can you show us how it works?" asked Reafu. "Sure it will be my pleasure," said Jorudonu as she let loose her weapon and it cut a couple of trees down. "Amazing!" yelled the two sisters and they smiled at each other they were thinking 'this was going to be an adventure never to forget' "What was that?" asked Benu looking around nervously and Kore was doing the same thing, all the girls started to laugh and the boys sweatdropped "What is so funny?" then Benu pulled his horse up by Tachira's and started to but a scorpion down her back when Benu's plan backfired and Tachira had him by the wrist and was smiling "Don't even try it bro". "Crap that was useless" Benu moaned then he looked over at Jorudonu and his eyes turned into slits "It was your weapon wasn't it?" "Ya and you got a problem with me knocking over a few trees?" She asked looking over at Benu and shaking her head. "I…I don't believe you" he spat and then said "prove it" and Jorudonu threw her Tylopinthie (that was the name of her weapon) at a few trees and they crashed down on the ground. "There, I proved it" Jorudonu snarled back and then rode up with Tachira and Reafu. Then there was a sudden gasp and they all looked at Kore he was pointing to another city and then he said, "That is Inputlingtale the city of the horses," he cried and everyone looked at the flag it had a black horse with gold mane and tale. They hurried to the gates and went in (Dunununa). "Hello anybody here?" bellowed Tachira as she banged on the inn door and she had been doing this for about 5 minutes. "Dear sister you are so stupid no one is…" Kore didn't finish his sentence because at that moment a young lady came out and said "Yes how may I help you?". "Well we need a place to stay, do you know were we can find one?" asked Benu. "Our cost is 5 seliper per night" the lady said "Oh I am so rude my name is Chirusea I am the innkeeper" said Chirusea she was wearing an orange kimono with red outlining and yellow slippers and her banana blond hair was in a ponytail with a bow in it. "Oh here then" said Jorudonu and she handed Chirusea ten seliper and smiled warmly at Chirusea. "Two nights it is" said Chirusea and she led the five inside. "Are you sure this was a good idea?" Reafu asked Tachira and Tachira nodded " It isn't like we have a choice". "Hey you guys coming or not?" bellowed Kore he was already at the top of the stairs. "Coming" the two sisters, yelled back and they raced up the stairs but Jorudonu looked about she could sense evil and she was sensing is from outside.
"No fair you always get the soft pillow," complained Reafu as Tachira snatched the feather pillow away from Reafu. "That is because I am older" Tachira stuck her tongue out then laughed. The five had to share a room and Tachira, Reafu and Jorudonu had to share one while Kore and Benu had to share another and right now there was one soft pillow in the room of the girls and Tachira and Reafu were fighting over it. All of the sudden Jorudonu went over and snatched the pillow from Tachira and she said, "Stop bickering about this, there is a demon and we have to find it", Tachira and Reafu looked at the floor. "So it is only fair that I get the soft pillow" added Jorudonu then smiled "Tachira and Reafu you will learn to take turns or you won't get anything" Jorudonu then had a serious face on and she said, "Tomorrow we will…" "Search for the demon" Reafu finished Jorudonu's sentence. Tachira had a frown on "Can't we just for once have fun, I mean there is it is winter and the pond is frozen" moaned Tachira and Reafu agreed "Yes I agree with Tachira, Jorudonu can't we have a little fun?" "Well… fine but after that we search" Jorudonu sighed then thought to herself 'I wish that they would be more responsible and that we could get this over with I want to get back home'. "I'm hungry," complained Tachira startling Jorudonu out of her thoughts. Jorudonu sweatdropped and was pulled out of their room to the restaurant in the motel. "Can we have something to eat?" Kore asked Benu and he nodded "Yeh lets eat" and they raced downstairs but they bumped into a young girl with a burgundy kimono that had red markings on it, her hair was short and brown, she was very skinny and hay in her uncombed hair and she had black slippers on the same ones as Kore and Benu. "We are terribly sorry miss" Kore managed and then the girl spoke "Yeh whatever my name is Shiruri" she frowned "I haven't seen you two before, you new?" Benu cocked his head to one side and said "Yes my name is Benu and this is my brother Kore" Nice to meet you, do you have any other siblings" Shiruri asked and Kore and Benu nodded "Two sisters and a friend are traveling with us". Tachira, Reafu and Jorudonu were down at the restaurant when an old man came up to them and asked if he could have a word with them and they nodded "I have come to warn you of the danger, the curse in our village" the man spoke as if he were dead and then he added "My name is Jusuchinu the town's antique store owner" and he walked off. "That was weird" Reafu was frowning "and what did he say?" "Listen sis" Tachira said to her younger sister "he said that there was danger in this town" then just as Tachira finished Kore and Benu came in with a girl about the age of Tachira, when Tachira saw who it was she stared wide eyed as she came closer she was facing the ground so Tachira couldn't be sure but if she was right "Shiruri is that you?" the girl's head suddenly flew up and her face was so happy that it was very confusing to Tachira's younger siblings and to Jorudonu but with one sentence it explained it all "Tachira your still my friend, my old friend"…
Later that day it was midnight and Tachira and Shiruri had explained everything about how they had been old school friends and how they got separated and now reunited but Tachira was a fighter and Shiruri was the town's horse keeper. "Would you like to go to the festival tomorrow?" Shiruri asked Tachira and she nodded "I wouldn't miss it for the world," then she added, "are you?" and the response was a "you bet, they got Timmunonusil" Shiruri smiled and said it is my favourite treat" that unconfused the rest of the group. "Wow, you see what time it is?" asked Reafu then she said "time to hit the sack, see ya tomorrow" and with that she went to her room. "Ya we are going to hit the sack too" said Benu, Kore and Jorudonu yawned in unison and went upstairs. "I have got to go home" Shiruri yawned and got up to go when Tachira said something weird and Shiruri turned with a frown on her face "What did you say?" but when Tachira didn't answer she just walked out of the restaurant. "I can't believe it" Tachira whispered to herself "It's Shiruri, she is the demon and she must have the third part to the pendent I must get it back".
"TACHIRA WAKE UP" Reafu was yelling in Tachira's ears but having no success. "What do you want?" moaned Tachira and she rolled over, "it is the day of the festival come on wake up it is time to go!!!!" Reafu could hardly hold her excitement as she pushed Tachira out of her bed and through her kimono at her "hurry up lazy" Reafu bellowed waking Tachira up completely. "I'll be right there, go by yourself and have fun I am not in the mood" Tachira told Reafu and Reafu's response was "okay but you don't know what you are missing…" all of the sudden Jorudonu burst into the room her face had a shocked expression on and she yelled "There has been an attack a little boy was killed and all his blood was sucked out and his wounds were made by hoof prints come on get up we got some business to do!!!" yelled Jorudonu and she raced to tell the boys. "Come on Tachira let's get going we have to kill the demon behind this" Reafu was racing around the room getting their armour and weapons ready. "No we don't I do" Tachira corrected causing Reafu to look at her strangely then she nodded "it is someone you know isn't it?" "Yes it is so stay here and protect the others" Tachira ordered and Reafu then said "Be careful sis it is dangerous" "I will and you be careful too okay please do this for me Reafu don't follow me" Tachira asked and then she hugged Reafu "I will be safe don't worry" when Tachira pulled away Reafu was crying and when Tachira asked why she said "because I am worried about you you're my sister and if anything would happen to you I would never forgive myself" "I will be fine stay here" and with that Tachira left the room dressed in her armour and whip in hand. On the streets everyone was gone and Tachira guessed it was because of the attack she knew were to go, the stables and when she arrived Shiruri was waiting a smile on her face and she spoke "Tachira you have come" "That's right demon and I come with your defeat" the demon laughed and turned "My name is Shethingsmell horse demon of Anderebu and killer of all humans die know daughter of Paiji DIE" and with that Shethingsmell waved her hand and a group of her minions appeared all around Tachira the minions looked like horses but with blood red eyes and they were all black.
"Reafu you have got to stop that pacing I am sure Tachira is fine" Jorudonu stated. "Well she is my sister and I am worried so I can't help it" whined Reafu "why are you only pointing it at me Kore and Benu are pacing too" Jorudonu sighed and then said "I am going after Tachira I don't care if you made a promise to her I can't stand it I am going anyone coming with me?" the other three nodded and they set out ready to fight a demon. They got outside and heard a scream coming from the stables so they raced over there hoping to find Tachira
"Ahh" yelled Tachira as she was tossed back and forth between Shethingsmell's minions and she was not having fun. "You scream but not from pain. Stop my minions stop," ordered Shethingsmell and she went over to Tachira "Why do you scream if not from pain and you are not scared of me why?" Shethingsmell was getting angry and Tachira was smiling then she spoke "Shethingsmell if that is your real name I scream for my friends are out looking for me and I am not afraid of you" she spat and at that moment Reafu burst through the door along with Kore, Benu and Jorudonu and Reafu asked "Are you all right?" "Yes I am but I want you to stay back" Tachira commanded and then she smiled "All of you except Kore, come here brother" Kore ran over to Tachira and then Shethingsmell said " I don't recall saying that there could be planning, minions kill them the two that have challenged me" and at that moment more and more of the Shethingsmell's minions closed in on Tachira and Kore "Kore you have your sword right?" Tachira asked and Kore nodded "Yes but why?" Tachira dodged a minions stomp and said, "Because there is a special ability that your sword contains it is called Resend Wind and it only works on breathing things it makes the breath of that particular thing or things in its way be destroyed if the breath of the thing touches the sword" Tachira told Kore and he nodded again "I'll do it but how?" "You must believe in yourself and put your energy into the sword I will help you" Tachira explained and Kore started he gripped his sword pointed it at the minions, shut his eyes, behind him he could hear Tachira's whip lash out a few times but he didn't pay any attention he opened his eyes and ran at the minions then he shouted "Resend Wind" a light glowed around his sword and then a flash lit up the stable and in a minute all of the minions were destroyed but now came Shethingsmell Kore was about to do his Resend Wind again when Tachira stopped him and said "I must do this brother alone back away" Kore did as Tachira asked and Tachira stepped forth "Shethingsmell you killed that boy and took over my friend's body you will pay and it won't be peaceful." Tachira snapped, "Reafu cast the spell of Tachinruno the uncovering spell, uncover this demon's true form" Reafu nodded and begun the spell and in no time the demon was in it s true form and It was a horse demon with blood red eyes she was covered in blood and she was as black as smoke and with red mane she spoke "Smart child die now or expect your doom" "Neither" replied Tachira and she realised her whip it hit Shethingsmell's nose then her neck and finally her side until the horse demon collapsed onto the stable floor "Ready to give up?" asked Tachira and Shethingsmell laughed "you really don't know me that well I never give up" and with that Shethingsmell leaped up and charged Tachira but Tachira was to quick and in a flash Shethingsmell was on the floor Tachira's whip wound around her legs and then it retraced and went onto Shethingsmell's neck the whip went tighter and tighter until Shethingsmell was gasping for breath and she squeezed out "I surrender" and then in a pile of blue flame she died but her ruins were burnt into ashes and that was the end of Shethingsmell.
"Sister wake up" yelled Reafu she was shaking Tachira violently and Tachira moaned, "I am awake thanks to you" Reafu stared sheepishly down at the floor and said "sorry I got carried away, you were right you were fine" Reafu looked up at Tachira and a moment of understanding passed between them before Tachira's memories came flooding back and a waterfall of questions came out questions like "Where is Shiruri?" and "Why am I in bed?" and "Is everyone alright?" and each of them were answered by Reafu "Shiruri is in bed too and you passed out when the demon was destroyed and everyone is alright except for Kore and Shiruri who passed our as well" Reafu explained to Tachira and Tachira made to get out of bed when Reafu stopped her "Stay in bed sister" then Reafu smiled and Tachira asked the one question that Reafu frowned at the question was "Did you see the demon's mind?" and Reafu shook her head "No, how is that possible? Wait before Shethingsmell died you said something and she nodded then she blew up in flame, what is up with that?" Reafu waited for Tachira to answer and when she did it was amazing "I said, let my friend go and die in peace didn't you hear me?" Reafu's jaw dropped open "No you said Kolpu Tatban Raojin wiwthine, it was the strangest thing ever" Reafu was still confused but she accepted Tachira, and didn't ask any more questions. "Tachira?" they sisters looked up and standing in the doorway was Shiruri her arm was in a cast and she looked worried "Tachira are you alright? Your…your hurt your arm it is damaged" Shiruri was worried even more then Tachira thought, then she turned to Reafu "Hey sis can you leave us alone for a moment please" Tachira pleaded and Reafu nodded "Of course" and with that she was gone. Shiruri came and sat on the bed beside Tachira "Your alright?" she asked and Tachira nodded "Ya I am what about you, your hurt more than me are you alright?" this time Shiruri nodded and then she started to cry "I'm sorry about all of this it is all my fault that you got hurt I was the demon and I didn't even know I'm so sorry. Can you ever forgive me?" Tachira smiled "I never got mad at you the demon took over it wasn't your fault you were innocent" Tachira finished and pulled Shiruri into a hug and then she whispered "Shiruri you're my friend and I will always find the good in you no matter what, remember that murmuring that I did that night and you turned?" Tachira asked and Shiruri nodded "Yes but what were you saying?" Tachira smiled I didn't say anything but in my mind I whispered in demon language 'is it you' and you noticed so I then I knew that you were the demon quiet simple really" when Tachira finished Shiruri said "Before you leave take five horses and this" she handed Tachira a something wrapped in leather and said not to open it until they got out of the town and Tachira nodded then asked "Is the festival still on?" after she finished saying this the two burst out laughing then in the middle of their laughing Jorudonu, Kore, Benu and Reafu came in and smiles lit up their faces. "Tachira!!!!" they yelled in unison as they raced over to her bedside. "How are you" Kore asked and Benu asked, "Do you have the top to the pendent?" and Jorudonu asked, "Are you two sure your are alright?" and Tachira answered every question the answers were: "fine", "Yes" and "Ya we are alright" she held out the leather package Shiruri had given her and said "Ya I got the top of the pendent" then Tachira smiled and laughed "I got it safe and sound".
"Good-bye and a safe trip to all of you" Shiruri called and in response the five waved. It was the next day and the five were setting out with five horses provided by Shiruri their names were: Spot, Cocoa, Faith, Bind and Kikyan, Kore rode Spot, Benu rode Bind, Tachira rode Kikyan, Jorudonu rode Faith and Reafu rode Cocoa all of the horses were well trained and very fast. Tachira took out the leather package and unwrapped it just as she expected it was the top to Paiji's pendent she put the three pieces together and it was almost full now came the challenge Anderebu the demon of all demons had the fourth part to the pendent and they better hurry Paiji couldn't hold on much longer it was time for the great fight they must provable or die.
"This is outrageous" cursed Anderebu "I guess I will have to do it myself" Anderebu walked over to a wardrobe it was of bone and he opened it and pulled out a suit of armour "My demon Putmallon (Putmallon is an indestructible suit of armour and is like Tachira and Reafu's but for a man) "This time they will not save Paiji I have the fourth part of the pendent and in my position it will stay" Anderebu chuckled and then a demon came and it said "Master may I offer assistance?" Anderebu snarled, "What do you want?" the demon's reply was "Many demons have gathered we want to help defeat your enemies, will you except our offer?" Anderebu turned to the demon "What is your name?" "Kokakaclue" was the demon's reply "I will lead you to victory" Anderebu smiled "I accept get your troops ready we will fight their names are Tachira, Reafu, Jorudonu, Benu and Kore my five enemies, kill them and anyone else that gets in your way" then Anderebu went back to looking at the middle of the pendent and he saw the demon walk out of his chamber. "Kokakaclue that is his name is it? Well hopefully he will carry out his promise, the five will die even if it is with my own hands I will kill one named Reafu" Anderebu laughed and then stopped all of the sudden and peered at a picture on his wall it was of him and Reafu laughing and holding hands and he thought 'It is over know nothing more I hate Reafu I am lord of the demons I have no soft side anymore it is time, we must prepare for battle she will die at my hands'.
