Xekokia
Chapter 8
Jewel and Master
"Are you sure it picks the person though? Maybe the orange one came to Tora Yasha only because she was the one who found it." Kitsune said.
"No, I'm pretty sure that it picks the person, I'm just not sure how." Beatorsa said tossing the jewel back and forth in his hands. "Anyway. We should get going. We'll find out whose it is eventually." Beatorsa said narrowly dropping the jewel, but catching it just in time to put it in his pocket.
"Agggh! They found another one!" Rakegi yelled as he watched Tora Yasha pick the jewel up out of the dragon guts and run off toward the others on his screen. "This has got to stop before they gain control of all of them. At least I have one." Rakegi said as he polished his sword with a red jewel set into the hilt. "I just need to learn how to unlock it's powers just like that child demon did."
"Traveling on foot constantly really bites." Tora Yasha said as she kicked the ground.
"Watch what you say around me Tora Yasha!" Kitsune yelled from further behind.
"Why can't I be a bird demon like Beatorsa? Why am I a tiger demon?"
"Genetics Tora Yasha. He Didn't choose to be bird and I didn't choose to be fox, just like you didn't choose to be tiger." Kitsune explained.
"Oh...Whatever."
"How far have we traveled Kitsune?" Beatorsa asked trying to break up the soon to come fight between the mother and daughter.
"Oh, I'd say almost two miles." Kitsune said looking back to see if the castle was still in view.
"We've only gotten that far!" Tora Yasha whined, "It seems like we've been walking for miles and miles!"
"I'm sure we probably have walked further then that." Beatorsa said floating in front of Tora Yasha.
"What do you know! You've been floating your happy little butt this whole time!" Tora Yasha yelled.
"I'm sorry that I'm bird demon and you aren't. Genetics you know." Beatorsa said knowing that he was getting on her nerves.
"Whatever, screw you.."
"Ahhem! What have I told you about that mouth of yours." Kitsune said as soon as she heard those words come out of Tora Yasha's mouth.
"Sorry." Tora Yasha mumbled to her mother.
"Don't tell me sorry. Tell Beatorsa sorry."
"That's okay. She doesn't have too. I made her mad so I deserved those words." As Beatorsa said this he secretly winked at Tora Yasha.
"Whatever you say. We need to make camp, The moon is rising." Kitsune said disregarding Beatorsa's words.
"Finally! Rest!" Tora Yasha yelled in triumph.
"Save the glory Tora Yasha, we still need to get up again in like three hours." Beatorsa said settling himself upon a rock for the short rest.
"Yep, that sounds like a plan Beatorsa. So we can get a head start on tomorrow." Kitsune said making herself a spot on the ground.
"Great, this life sucks...a whole lot.." Tora Yasha started complaining more while she laid herself down and finally fell asleep.
"Rise and shine grumpy-gills!" Kitsune said as she started poking Tora Yasha in her side.
"Aghh...no...I don't wanna..." Tora Yasha whined.
"Let me take care of this." Beatorsa said as he lifted Tora Yasha up easily and put her up on his back, piggy-back style.
"Nice save." Kitsune said sarcasticaly.
"Thanks, there didn't seem to be any other way." Beatorsa said while jumping up into a tree, "Foward on I'd say." Beatorsa said, looking at the position of the sun.
"We should get pretty far today Beatorsa. No doubt about about that."
"That's only if we don't get caught up in something."
"If I'm correct, there should be a town about a mile and a half from here. So let's go ahead and head that way."
"Whatever you say, you're the walking map." Beatorsa said with a short little laugh.
"Hey!" Kitsune yelled while she pursued him onward as he leaped tree from tree with Tora Yasha on his back.
"Come on slowpoke! I can see the town!" Beatorsa yelled at the far behind KItsune as he nimbly jumped down out of the trees and stood waiting for Kitsune.
"Hmm...who's a slowpoke?.." Asked Tora Yasha sleepily as she woke up.
"So you finally decided to wake up eh?" Beatorsa asked as he set her down to gather her suroundings.
"Where are we? How did we get here? Where's Kit..."
"Hold on, one question at a time. We're getting ready to go into town, I carried you here on my back, and I have no idea where Kitsune is."
"So you mean we lost her again?" Tora Yasha asked glumily.
"Yeah, I guess that would be right." Beatorsa said while leading Tora Yasha to the town.
"Beatorsa! Hellooooo! God dammit! If I'm lost again..." Kitsune left off her setence because she was dragged off into the darkness.
