Kira was nervous as hell. She had spent the whole day getting ready for the ball and wondered how her Maru would react when Torin showed up; she hoped that a fight wouldn't break out since Torin, which she hated to admit it was about 10 times stronger than Maru. She then walked in to the ball room behind her father and the rest of the nobles and warlords she sat down and waited for the royal family to be introduced. Sesshomaru walked out first with Taisha at his side, then Torin walked out behind them, She gasped, she hated what she was thinking but she knew it to be true, Torin was handsome, she could not take her eyes off of him and that got a warning growl from Maru who sat beside her. Sesshomaru then clapped his hands and the festivities began. After every body had eaten their fill they started to dance Maru and Kira danced for a very long time and then Maru took Kira outside on the balcony.
Maru, look at the stars there beautiful. Said Kira.
You look even better he replied. He replied. She blushed. And I saw how you looked at Torin tonight, His grip on her hands tightened as his eyes started to turn red.
Were Just friends, She replied getting a little nervous. He then slammed her up against the wall, and yelled you're lying. He then forced her to kiss him. As he was ravaging her mouth a very pissed off demon was watching from behind the curtains. When she screamed into his mouth Torin couldn't take any more and ripped Maru off of kira and flung him into the wall.
What are doing here you, maru rasped. Torin just growled. Maru then drew his sword and flung himself at Torin. Torin just smirked and drew his own sword. Maru swung his sword but Torin parried and this went on for about an hour until maru started to tire, Torin thought this was getting old and charged in for the kill, Maru swung his sword but Torin just knocked out of his hand and knocked Maru on the side of his head knocking him out. Kira so shocked that this happened, ran out of the ballroom crying and left a very bewildered torin who just noticed that the whole ballroom was now watching him. Torin then raced after Kira.
Kira was crying on her bed when she smelt him coming, she groaned not now as he flung the door open.
I hope your happy she cried, how could you do something like that.
What, Torin yelled he was about to rape you didn't you notice, when you started to scream. Kira just looked down at the ground, not wanting to give in to his advances but her excuses were getting thinner and thinner. She started to cry again, and he walked over to her and picked her and put her on her bed, he then lay down beside her and held her in his arms,
What are you doing she asked, now thoroughly confused.
Comforting you, now go to sleep. She just tucked her head in to his shoulder and fell asleep, he soon followed.
She woke up to the sun in her face. She growled at her oversleeping but when she tried to get up two arms pulled her back. She looked back to see Torin staring at her.
Where were you going, He asked.
I forgot about you, she stuttered.
You forgot about me, he repeated, hurt and pain started to creep in to his eyes.
I forgot I was sleeping with you; she hurriedly repeated and then tucked her head under his chin. Appeased by her actions He let her up. We need to get down to breakfast before they come looking for us, he said. So she quickly changed clothes and they went down to breakfast together.
Seshomaru saw them come in to the dining hall he hurriedly smelt her but when he found that her scent had not changed he was surprised and pleased that his son would not take advantage of her.
Hello father, Torin said. He nodded his greeting and everybody followed suit.
That was a very interesting night, Kira's father genke said. After they ate Torin whispered do you want to train with me in kira's ear. She nodded and then they exited the ding hall together and went to put on their armor.
He looked her up and down as she started to summon her fire around her he braced himself for the attack. The fire then jumped at him and he dodged quickly but getting his arm singed anyway. She then drew her sword and they fought for a long time when he finally said that would be all, and then he turned and started to walk back to the training room. Where are you going, she asked running to catch he turned around and sweeped her into his arms. As they stared into eachothers's eyes one of sesshomaru's messengers came up up Master Torin come quickly he yelled Torin looked up at him visably annoyed, I'm busy he yelled, It's urgent sir your father has been poisoned. Then Torin and Kira raced to sesshomaru's study where everybody was. His father was lying on the floor writhing in pain as taisha tried to comfort him. Your father has been poisoned by the death's needle poison. It will kill a dog demon instantly but since your father is well your father It should be about six months before the poison takes his life. But there is an antidote, we know that there is only one in existence but the location is unknown to all.
I will go find the antidote, I will bring it back to the castle before six months time. Torin growled, I will go with you Kira said. Torin looked at her and wanted to deny her but the look in her eyes brooked no argument. Very well, Torin said. We will leave at dawn. They all agreed and headed out to do their tasks while the doctors and Taisha tried to comfort Sesshomaru.
