Melkoshi's POV

"Melkoshi..I…I don't know what to say." Mioh begins to say, stuttering slightly. I look at him blushing madly as I then speak. "Mioh…Everything in that note…I mean it…100 do I mean it…" I said, stopping slightly as I then continued, "I know I caused you a lot of pain and suffering cause of my foolishness…I am horribly sorry for it…"

"Then..You understand why I…" Mioh begins to say. I look away from him as I interrupt him. "Why won't you forgive me? I understand…Look, let's just forget I ever said anything, alright?" I said as I then began to walk off, with my head hanging low. What was I thinking - Mioh and I would get back together? I'm such an idiot!

"Melkoshi! Wait! " Mioh begins as he follows me. I look back at him as I then ask. "What? Is there more you wanted to say to me, to crush my heart even more?" As I spoke, it started to rain slightly, like the earth was taking pity on me, and crying along with me.

"Melkoshi, you didn't even let me finish what I was going to say! I wasn't going to say that!" Mioh starts. I then look up at him, with my tear filled eyes as I ask, "Mioh..You mean…you forgive me?"

"Yes I do Melkoshi…I can't be angry at you any longer." Mioh says as he then hugs me tightly as he then speaks once again "After 50 years..You'd think my love for you would have died..But it never did…it never changed at all…I still love you like I did back then. "

"Oh Mioh…I..I am so sorry for what I did..I'm just..So happy you finally forgive me for it…I know I hurt you so much…I never meant to hurt you…" I was beginning to ramble on and on about how sorry I was. But Mioh placed his finger over my lips as he then spoke, "Melkoshi..I forgive you…No need to say you're sorry anymore." He smiled and I smiled as well as I then kissed him…a meaningful kiss of which I'll remember forever.

Meanwhile at Shito Castile
Tanryou's POV

"What is the reason that that you've summoned me here for?" I begin to ask. It's been forever since I last was in the west of Japan…Being prince of the east I never left there, practically. I used to come over here many times, but that all changed after a while…

"Tanryou Mashiko, you remember Rakonou Kazea. Yes?" Lord Neosham begins. I nod my head as I then spoke. "Yes, he and I were best of friends back when he was living."

"I've summoned you here, hoping you'd do me a favor…" The young lord begins. I blink as he continues. "You remember Rakonou's children, Relasouno and Melkoshi. Yes?"

"Of course…They used to call me uncle T, as I was like family to them." I stated. Remembering how I'd always go visit them, and they'd get all excited…Man, I wish I didn't lose touch with them after Rakonou's death…but they went missing apparently.

"You also remember, how Rakonou would often worry for his children? How he'd try so hard to keep them off the path of evil?" He speaks, I nod my head. "Yes I do recall that. He had also asked me to keep a watchful eye out for them, in case anything had happened to Rakonou if he couldn't do that himself."

"But..When something DID happen, they went missing…so you couldn't hold that promise to him. Isn't that so?" The young lord asks. I nod my head, slightly in shame for not being able to keep my promise for my good friend.

"Well then, this'll surprise you. Relasouno, come out here." The young lord begins…I blink in slight confusion as I then see a young female, of what looked like in her teen years walk into the room.

"Yes my lord…did you want something…?" The girl asked, as she then looked over at me and gasped loudly. "Uncle T! Is that you!" She asks excited and surprised.

"Relasouno...? Relasouno Kazea! I barely recognize you! You've grown up!" I say happily, as she then laughs slightly, blushing slightly as well. I then look back over at the young lord, as I then ask. "So where is Melkoshi? If you have one twin, where is the other?"

"That's the reason why I've called you here. Melkoshi, is still living on the path of evil." He begins. Looking over at Relasouno as he then speaks. "Relasouno has done many things in the past, taking a long walk on the path of evil. But she is currently making up the evil by serving under me. However, Melkoshi is still under the influence of evil…that is why I need you to bring her to me. So she can be saved from herself."

" I understand…I am indebted to your father, so I will do as you ask me to." I begin as I look over at Relasouno, who gives a large grin. I don't trust his story, however. Relasouno was always the evil one and Melkoshi was always the nice one. But…that was along time ago...Maybe things have changed…

The next morning.

…I barely remember where the forbidden village is..It's been way too long since I came here…Once you're inside the forbidden forest, you get lost 'til you can find a way out. Sometimes it's days before one can make it through.

"Dang it all…I believe I've gotten myself lost…" I said to myself, as I continued to walk around, in what seemed like circles. After what seemed like forever, I finally found the barrier, on my first attempt to walk through it, I was repelled.

"Why won't it let me through! I have good intentions! I am suppose to save Melkoshi from the evil within her heart!" I shouted to myself, out of frustration. I then took a deep breath as I decided to try once more. This time it allowed me in, finally.

I sighed as I then continued on my way to the old village. After a short walk, I was able to see a clearing with what seemed to be a big fort in the center of it. Approaching it, I was shouted at.

"Who goes there! State you're name and business here!"

I sighed as I then spoke. "My name is Tanryou Mashiko. I was dear friends of Rakonou Kazea a long time ago. Let me pass, I am here to see his family." I got a huge glare from the young woman at the guild tower. "Is that so, you should know that the only one of his family that's here is Melkoshi."

"Yes. That is who I am here to see. Forgive me for the confusion." I apologized. The girl then blinked as she then opened the gate as she spoke. "I'll let you pass..But I'll be keeping an eye on you…"

"Well then, I guess I'll have to be extra good for you then, cutey." I said, flirting slightly with her as I walked through the gates. I laughed slightly at her expression to my words.

Let's see…where to start…oh man the village has changed a lot since I was last here. Practically everyone is in uniform, a demon slayer uniform now that I think of it. I'm lost once again and decide to ask a villager for directions.

"Excuse me, miss?" I began to ask, catching her attention. "Yes? Is there something I can do for you?" She asks, nicely. I smile as I then ask. "Could you mind telling me, where I could find Melkoshi Kazea? I am here to see her."

"Oh are you a friend of Melkoshi's?" She asks. I sweatdrop slightly as I then say, "You could say that." She then smiles as she spoke "My name is Amara I'm good friends with Melkoshi. I last saw her heading towards Mioh's house, but that was the other day. She might still be there. He lives that way." She says pointing the way. I smile at her and nod my head as I then speak before running off. "Thank you for the help. I'll be seeing you around."

I smiled as I got near to the only house this way..Mioh…Mioh. Oh! He was that little squirt that liked Melkoshi back then…I wonder if he still does. Nah I doubt it, after what? 55 years since I last saw them?
I sighed as I approached the building and knocked on the front door. Shortly after knocking a pretty young woman answered the door. "Um…Hello, is there something I can do for you?" she asks. I blink slightly as I then reply after getting my senses back. "Yes. I was told that Melkoshi could be found here. "

"Melkoshi? No..She was here yesterday…she doesn't live here though." She says. I blink as I sweatdropped and say, "Well...I was told by one of the villagers that they last saw her heading this way. No one has seen her since."

"Hm…I'll go ask Mioh. He should know where she is then. Wait here please." The girl said as she began to head down the hallway of the house.

Mioh's POV

"Mioh! You in there! Don't make me come in!" Miako shouted, knocking on the door. I sighed as I got up…I was sleeping. You'd think she'd take notice to the 'do not disturb' sign on the door.

I then remembered what had happened last night…I looked to my side, noticing Melkoshi, alseep…in my bed. A blush formed over my face as I remembered some of the things that had happened the night before. I got up quickly and got partly dressed before I opened the door a crack to stick my head out of it.

"What is it that you want?" I ask, kinda grumpy for being disturbed. Miako blinks as she then asks, "You wouldn't happen to know where Melkoshi went after leaving here, do you? You were the last one to see her."

"Um..Yeah I know where she is..Why?" I say, kinda trying not to give the full details as to what had happened…if Miako knew I swear I'd get my head bitten off.

"Well, there's a young male here asking for Melkoshi. Saying he was told she could be found here." Miako says calmly. I blink slightly…why would a guy..A young one even ask for Melkoshi? I shook my head slightly, to rid myself of the thought of why he's looking for her. Looking over at Miako I sigh as I then spoke. "I'll go find her. You tell him to wait in the living room."

Miako nods her head as she then begins to walk back towards the main room. I sigh once again but louder once she's gone. Man…really now…what or why would any guy want to see Melkoshi? I sighed once more at an unpleasant thought that appeared in my head as I closed the door and walked over to the still asleep Melkoshi. I began to try and wake her up by shaking her slightly.

Melkoshi's POV (N/A: SUPER sorry about the random character POV change. But..It was either have it stay as Tanryou's or Mioh's POV, or go to nobody's POV in that last bit! Sorry once again!)

"Come on Melkoshi..Wake up." I heard someone say softly as I was being lightly shaken. I rolled over onto my side, refusing to get up. "Oh come on Melkoshi, you gotta get up." The person said once more..That voice…I know that voice…it's Mioh…no there's no way he's the one waking me up I must be dreaming…

"Come on Melkoshi…you've got to wake up." He said once more, deciding to poke my side trying to wake me up. I groaned as I then muttered. "I don't want to..I'm having a good dream…"

"You can't be dreaming, as you're talking, therefore you're awake…" Mioh says, nagging me slightly. I yawn as I then muttered once more, "Then explain why you're the one waking me up…that only happens in my dreams…"

"Well, this isn't a dream. It's real and I am waking you up..So you gotta get up." Mioh said once more as I heard him sigh quickly. I yawned once more as I began to rub the sand out of my eyes, looking over at Mioh as I did so.

"So it wasn't a dream after all…" I said mainly to myself, Mioh then laughed slightly for some reason at that. I then sat up, but then grabbed the covers and covered myself. Realizing I was underdressed, a blush forming over my cheeks.

Mioh looked away slightly, coughing a bit as he tossed me my clothing. "Hurry and get dressed. You've got some guy here asking for you." Mioh says in an annoyed manner. I look down at the clothing he tossed at me, as I then nod to myself as I quickly got dressed…alright never thought this would happen…ever.

"Come on now..Miako doesn't know you're here..So we kinda have to walk around the house and through the front door." Mioh says, practically whispering…why is he acting so..odd? Like he wants to hide me from Miako…oh…OH…I see…I remember what happened when Miako found out last time…I see now…

I nodded my head as Mioh then stepped out the door. I followed and we walked around the building to the front door. Waiting slightly, Mioh then opened the door, walking through it as he then spoke, "Found her…she wasn't very far oddly enough."

I stepped into the room, following Mioh before I looked over at the young male who then spoke. "Melkoshi? Wow the years have been good to you."…Uncle Tanryou….? I swear my mouth dropped completely open at the site of one of my old family friends.

"Ta…Tanryou? No way, it can't be you!" I said in pure disbelief as I walked over to him. He simply laughed as he then rose from where he sat and spoke. "Of course it's me, who did you expect?"

"Well, I certainly didn't expect to see you! I mean, it's been…what? Since I was young that I last saw you! How's your life been doing after all these years?" I ask question after question practically. Tanryou laughs once more as he then spoke. "Well, it's pretty much been same old same old. But anyways..There's a reason for my visit."

I blink as I then ask. "Which is?" Tanryou smiles then as he approached me, looking down at me because of our height differences." I'm here to ask you..To come with me."

"Um..Say that again? I think I misheard you." I said softly, as I sweatdroped slightly in shock from what he asked..Why on earth would he want me to go with him for?

"You heard what I said. I want you to come with me." Tanryou said once more, looking at me in a way I'm not sure I've ever seen before…

"Excuse me, Tanryou was it? But I'm not going to let Melkoshi go anyway with someone the likes of you." Mioh then said, calmly as he placed his foot down…Tanryou blinked as he then asked. "I'm sorry, and you are…?" Mioh then glares slightly at Tanryou as he answers. "It's Mioh. And what Melkoshi does is of my concern."

"And…what makes you the one that says what and where Melkoshi can go and can't go?" Tanryou asks, annoyed slightly…oh boy he's asking for it….

"I care about Melkoshi. So what she does, is of my concern." Mioh says, answering Tanryou's question.

"Did I hear that right? That would make you her..boyfriend?" Tanryou asks, toying with his words, in a playful manner….either he guessed lucky or he knew…

"I…that's none of your concern! Why is it that you need Melkoshi to come with you? " Mioh asks changing the subject…it kinda hurts that he doesn't want to admit he and I are back together…why wouldn't he..?

"Well, I don't believe that's something you need to know. Only thing that matters is that I need Melkoshi to come with me." Tanryou stated, as he then grabbed ahold of my shoulders with one arm.

"Now hang on Tanryou…I won't go anywhere with you, if I don't know why or where we're going." I said, placing my foot down…sure I did know him for like practically forever, but still..Just something I don't trust about him…

Tanryou looks at me, pouting slightly as he then spoke. "Oh now you don't trust me as well….?" Sighing as he spoke….Please tell me he's just putting on an act..I don't ever remember Tanryou acting this…emotional…he was always the…girly guy but still…this is..pathetic.

"Fine. The reason why I need you to come with me is…Back when your father was alive, he had asked me to look after you and your sister if anything had happened to him..And then when he died, you both went missing. But now, that I've found you after so many years. It's time for you to come live with me. " Tanryou says, as he looks down at me. I don't know what to say..All I can do is just stare at him… As I was about to speak, I suddenly felt Mioh grab ahold of me, and pulled me away from Tanryou.

" ...you don't have any intention of making her your bride-to-be, would you...?" Mioh quickly asked Tanryou, glaring slightly at him as he does so. Tanryou simply folds his arms as he replies, "I don't know..Why don't you tell me? Do you have any intentions of making Melkoshi YOUR bride?"

"I…We are NOT talking about me here. We're talking about YOU!" Mioh shouted angrIly at Tanryou. Tanryou simply laughed as he then spoke. "Oh my, did I anger you? It's unfair to ask a question, that you can't even answer yourself." Tanryou then sighed and spoke once more. "I'll be waiting outside Melkoshi. Say your goodbyes and let's get moving." As he walked passed us. I hung my head low..What should I do? It'd be disgraceful to my family if I didn't help fulfill my father's dying wish… I then removed myself from Mioh's grasp as I began to walk outside. Mioh's arm then blocked my way as he spoke in a serious tone. "Tell me this at least.. You don't have any interest in him do you?" I then looked up at Mioh, as I then replied. "Of course not Mioh! You're the only one I've ever felt that way for."

"Then, promise me you'll at least contact me if anything happens…I just don't think I can trust you around that…idiot." Mioh said, not looking at me one bit as he spoke. I nod my head as I then walked outside…something just isn't right..But…what else can I do but go along with Tanryou?

At the old well, A few days later.
Kagome's POV.

"Finally!" I sighed as I looked over at the angry half demon who just spoke. "I was about to go and get you! Do you know how long you've been in that era of yours?"

"Inuyasha! You know very well that most of my time is spent here! So whats the problem with going to my OWN era for a few weeks! Sides. Melkoshi needed medical treatment! So what else was I suppose to do? Just bring her there and leave her all alone? " I shouted at Inuyasha, angry. He then sighed as he approached the well, looking down in it, then back at me with an odd look in his eyes as he spoke.

"Hey….where IS Melkoshi anyways? Shouldn't she be with you right now?" I sweatdropped at that question..I guess Melkoshi didn't come by and tell them she came back the other day.

"She came back on her own a few days ago Inuyasha." I said simply, as I began to stand up and walk back towards the village.

"What do you mean she came back already Kagome? Why didn't you go back with her!" Inuyasha shouted at me, as he caught up to me. I sighed as I then glared over at him. "I had tests! She didn't care, so she came back!"

"Then why didn't she come find me and tell me she was back? Where is she now?" Inuyasha shouted once again, question after question….I sighed as I answered them once again. "I don't know why she didn't come find you guys before heading off to her old village. But she came back to go see her old friends. She missed them."

"Old friends huh?...That mainly means Mioh… She only really ever cared about him, it's like she's obsessed with him." Inuyasha starts rambling…he actually cares who Melkoshi is obsessed with? Wow…I gotta give him some credit for caring…slightly anyways.

"Why do you say that Inuyasha? Do you not like Mioh? I personally found him to be a nice guy." I said for the heck of it. I mean, maybe I can understand what happened in the past between everyone at the old village.

"Well…he is a demon slayer after all…he actually tried to slay ME a few times before Melkoshi stepped in. sometimes I wonder if he'd ever go mad and just slay everyone one day." Inuyasha starts…I blink as I then ask. "But wait. Isn't Mioh a demon too?"

"Yeah. He betrays his own kind in order to make money….Those kind of people you really can't trust…I mean what if one day, someone came along and hired him to kill Melkoshi for a lot of money?" Inuyasha babbles on….I didn't know that…So demon, demon slayers are like…not trustworthy? But Mioh seems..Like he's the nicest guy in the world…I guess I can't say much, as Inuyasha has known him longer then I have.

I sighed as we made it back to Kaede's village where the rest of our group joined us…No site of Melkoshi so far. She must be still at the old village. We then made our way there. Passing through that stupid deep…dark…forest with the barrier. Surprisingly, the guard working at the tower knew us from being there before and let us on in without any problems.

"Let's see….if I was Melkoshi where would I be…." I started to think aloud. Inuyasha then glares at me as he then spoke. "How about Mioh's house? Where else would she be?"

"Good point…" I said, sweat dropping slightly as he continued on our way there. Arriving at his home shortly after, I knocked on the door. After repeatedly trying, someone finally answered the door. "Is there something I could do for you?" Mioh asked…great luck I suppose…but why wouldn't he answer till after like… a gazillion times?

"Yeah there is! We know Melkoshi is here. It's time for us to leave." Inuyasha shouted rudely at Mioh. Mioh only blinked as he answered. "I'm sorry but she already left."

"WHAT! What do you mean she already left!" Inuyasha shouted at Mioh, angered by his response. Mioh sighed as he replied. "I said what I said. She left already….this strange guy came and told her to come with him…"

"And you just LET her!" Inuyasha shouted once more…over protective much? I swear…it seems like he's like Melkoshi's older brother by the way he's acting. Shows he at least cares for her though…

"I didn't have a say in the matter…" Mioh then looked away as he spoke. I blinked as I then said, "You're her best friend, aren't you? Then of course you have a say in the matter! She would listen to you."

"It's not like that…she didn't even have a say in the matter…the guy just came and demanded she come with him…when she was told why…she had no choice but to go with him."

"Who was this guy? Where did he take her?" I asked. Maybe Mioh knew where we could find her. "The guy…He had blonde hair, it covered one of his eyes, the right one. Wore a lot of blue and was called by the name Tanryou. I don't know where he took her..But..He told her, it was her father's dying wish for him to look after her….I don't believe the scum bag though…but she did, and went with him, as if it was her duty to." Mioh explained as he looked at us before speaking again, "I have a very bad feeling she might be in danger! Let me come with you! I can help you find her!"

Shito castle entrance. Later in the day
Melkoshi's POV.

"This is it." Tanryou started. As he looked over at me and smiled. "This is the castle where you'll be staying." I sighed as I looked around…great….a wore down icky castle….why couldn't I just have stayed at Mioh's? …how can Tanryou LIVE here!

"Well, lets go on inside!" Tanryou spoke happily, I nodded my head and he and I began to enter the castle. The guards at the front, weren't on duty strangely. I shrugged it off though. When I entered the entry way, I had kicked off my shoes. Tanryou then looked over at me and then spoke. "I'm sorry but you'll need to leave your weapon here too. Sorry, but my father doesn't allow weapons in the main castle area."

I sighed as I placed my wand down…great if I get into a fight, I'll have to come and get it! I then looked over at Tanryou as he stood up and began to walk down one of the many hallways. I quickly followed him…the LAST thing I want is to get LOST in here! It's so big…and who knows how many hallways and rooms this place has!

After like..Forever walking, and me bugging Tanryou a little too much with my 'are we there yet?' complaints, we finally got to one room. Tanryou then looked at me as we approached the door. I blinked as he then spoke. "I need you to stay here for a bit, all right? I have to speak to my father alone first." He said as he smiled. I blinked once again, clueless but I nodded my head as he walked in….I couldn't help myself, and placed my ear up against the door, to listen in on the conversation that was being held within the next room.

"So..you brought Melkoshi to me after all Tanryou…" said a rather deep toned voice…Tanryou's father, I assume "Yes, exactly as you said for me to do." Tanryou replied. A silence went on for a moment before someone else spoke. "I'm actually suspired you went through with it Tanryou. Tearing her away from Mioh like that and all. I thought she'd never leave him."…it's a female who spoke..But…who? The voice sounds familiar but I can't tell who it is!

"I too, am surprised…but off that subject. You will treat her nicely, won't you? That was the deal wasn't it?" Tanryou had asked…what deal? Was I some sort of reward now!...the deep toned man laughed as the female then spoke. "Tanryou, you're just as stupid as everyone says you are…now that Melkoshi is here. I can finally get my revenge for last time!" that voice..Now I know where I've heard it! That's…my damn sister's voice..Then…this means…shit! Now I know why Tanryou made me leave my weapon!

I pulled away from the door at that. I've heard enough, I had to get out of here. I looked around, as I then decided to run down one of the many hallways…it felt like for hours I had ran..And I wasn't going anywhere…suddenly, I saw a light coming from down one of the many dark hallways. I smiled, as I thought, maybe that's the way out! Of course…when I reached it, I was wrong…

"Ah Melkoshi, long time no see. That hole in your chest feeling any better?" Relasouno teased as she asked meaningless questions. I glared at her, and tried to turn back. But the doorway had then closed off. I banged my hands against the solid wall, trying to get it to reopen as Relasouno laughed as she then spoke. "It's no use. Face it, you're trapped and the only way to get out is past me…and face it Melkoshi, you can't attack me."

Damn it..Without my wand I can't use any of my attacks… damn..Why am I so useless? I turned around and faced her…the torch she's holding…maybe..Yes! I know! Relasouno glared at me, as she then spoke. "What is with that face, do you actually think you can face me?…"

Ph. Watch you idiot. I then ran forward as I knocked the torch out of her hand, onto her dress, which caught on fire quickly. Allowing me to run past Relaosouno, as she panicked, trying to put the fire out…what an idiot.

"darn…which way now?" I had gotten myself lost once again, after taking random turns left and right. Relasouno hadn't caught up with me yet. I stopped for a moment to catch my breath..This is like a never ending maze!

"Oh whats the matter Melkoshi…tired already? But we're just getting started with our game of..Cat and mouse." Relasouno said teasingly and she walked up behind me. I turned and looked at her, and decided to run once again…"Please someone..Just get me out of here!"

"No one can help you Melkoshi! You can either die or fight me, you wimp!" Relasouno shouted at me, as she drew her sword, chasing after me. This is just becoming pathetic. "How can I fight you without my weapon!" I shouted back at her. She just laughed as she continued…please…someone..Just help me!

After awhile of running, I finally caused Relasouno to go the wrong way and I lost her. Luckily, I made it back to the room where I left my wand. However..."It's not here! How can it not be here?"

"Simple…" Tanryou said as he took a step forward from the hallway. I looked over at him, with a shocked face as he was holding my weapon. "I took it. This will be your final resting place Melkoshi." As he said that, Relasouno came up from behind him and lunged at me. Pinning me down on the ground outside of the room, as she had knocked me so far back from the attack. She rested her sword ageist my neck, as she then spoke. "Tanryou's right…this'll be your final resting place..Last time was just a mistake you didn't die..Now…this is it. Say goodbye dear sister!"

I was then so scared for my life, all I could do was just look so horrified, and scared..As tears fell from my eyes..I couldn't even get the will to shout for my life….this must be the end…or why else would my body be acting like this…?

"I'm surprised you haven't asked for mercy for your life Meloshi…Very unlike you…do you wish to die?" Relasouno then asked me. I glared at her as I replied softly, "I…I wish for…nothing more than to…DEFEAT SCUM BAGS LIKE YOU!" I shouted towards the end as I pushed Relasouno off of me, before standing up. Relasouno glared at me as she stood back up. "Well, I'll take that as a no to my question then..You know it's rude to not answer a question properly sister…" Relasouno said, toying with her words.

"Bite me." Is all I said. As she then glared at me, and attacked me once again, this time slashing my arm with her sword as I tried to block her attack. She tried to attack again, but I keep on dodging her attacks. I was able to knock her off balance after a while. She looked up at me, as she glared at me and then looked over at Tanryou before shouting, "Tanryou! What are you standing around for! Do something, you idiot!" I looked over at Tanryou, who then looked at me, with the strangest expression. It was almost like…He was being forced to fight against me. Tanryou then pulled back the hair he had placed over his right eye. It revealed a blind eye, which at the mere sight of it, paralyzed me from the neck down.

"What do you know, Tanryou is actually more useful then you'll be ANY day!" Relasouno chuckled, as she then grinned at me, in my paralyzed…no…more like frozen state. She then approached me, as she held her sword in front of my face.

"Such a pretty face…sad that it had to belong to you..As your blood will stain it in a minute…" Relasouno says, toying around some more, as she ran her hand along my cheek..What is she up to? Is she just messing around or what? She then giggled slightly as she pointed the tip of her sword at my chin and she then grinned madly. "This is, and will be the end dear sister." Relasouno started. I began to cry slightly once again, as I began to whimper. "Please. Don't kill me…I don't deserve to die…please!" Relasouno only grinned more, as she then shouted while pulling her sword back for a greater blow . "SAY GOODBYE!"

"I THINK NOT!" Someone then shouted, as they grabbed Relasouno's sword away from her before she stabbed my throat with it. The frozen effect Tanryou had placed on me, had worn off, and I had fallen onto the ground. I looked over at who had just saved me…"Mioh…" is all I could manage to whisper out, after the near death experience.

"Damn you. I had thought Tanryou took care of you." Relasouno glared at Mioh as she jumped back. She then glared over at Tanryou then back as Mioh as she extended her claws. "Oh well, I still have my claws, I can kill the both of you now. The love birds can die together. How sweet." Relasouno cheeped teasingly. .

"I'm not here to play any games, this time, Relasouno…your childish taunts are nothing!" Mioh shouted at her, as he exposed his blades and charged after Relasouno. Within a blink of the eyes, Mioh had attacked her and Relasouno's expression was of nothing more then shock at Mioh's speed. Unable to comprehend how he was able to move so much faster all of a sudden.

"I guess you weren't kidding Mioh-boy…Melkoshi, this isn't over. You'd be dead right now if your lover boy didn't come to your rescue. Next time however… it will be your demise!" Relasouno shouted as she pulled out the flute of talons, and called forth a passing crow demon that swooped down, grabbing ahold of her arm and carried her off before anyone could do anything.

"The coward…She always runs." Mioh started. As he then looked over at Tanryou, who had collapsed onto the ground, supporting his self with his arms in front of him. I looked around, the castle…was disappearing. This was like last time…was Tanryou under a spell? Or..Did he do it of his own free will?

"Now…Tanryou…it's time to face your punishment…" Mioh said coldly as he approached Tanryou.
Noticing this, Tanryou looked up at him with such great horror in his eyes he could hardly say a word till he broke down and hung his head.

"Please, don't kill me. I didn't mean to…" Tanryou said, as he pleaded for his life, as Mioh glared down at him. Mioh's blades shot out of his fist as he pulled it upright as he then shouted. "Why shouldn't I? You sided with Naraku! You tricked Melkoshi into going with you with a LIE that she couldn't refuse! And because of that, Melkoshi nearly died! In fact, I believe it's your fault any of this happened!" and with that, Mioh punched Tanryou. Tanryou's expression was of horror and shock as the blow hit him, knocking him back roughly. The field was then covered in a thick poisonous miasma.

As the miasma settled, Tanryou, after a moment sat up, holding his face. It was leaking of the same purple substance…That…is Tanryou's blood…

"…you should have just died without resisting Tanryou…for you don't deserve to live after what you've done!" Mioh shouted as he raised his fist once again, as he was about to attack once again. Tanryou's face made the most frightened expression I've ever seen in my life that struck my heart deeply…this…this isn't right!

"Stop it!" I shouted, as I stood up and ran closer to the fighting pair. "He doesn't deserve this!" I shouted, breathing deeply, coughing horribly from the remaining poisonous miasma within the air. Mioh looked over at me….his eyes…they're…they're not normal…I see no concern for life…all I see is anger…and…I don't know what else…but…is that evil within his eyes I see?

to be continued.

Oooooohhhhh…..will Mioh kill Tanryou? What's going on with Mioh? Has he given into his demon side? Will he let the evil within him consume his soul and allow himself to kill innocent lives? X3 cheek back next…year! XD;;;
