Here we go into chapter 8 cheers YAY…I have nothing to say so lets just go into it!
Chapter 8 One big piece of the past
Kineko sighed as she walked past through the portal and arrived on the other side. She slowly looked around and strolled down the empty street in Demon world as she walked into a beat up shop. Dust covered everything in the shop except one small bell that had a note next to it that said, "ring for service".
"Well, that's new." Kineko muttered to herself as she lightly touch the top of the bell, the sound echoing through the tiny shop.
"Who's there?" A gruff voice growled form the back room and Kineko didn't flint or anything only answer back.
"Are you not, Tenkona?" Kineko questioned as she watched the door to the back room.
"No, I'm his son." The voice answered gruffly as he walked into view, "I'm Sentu." Kineko let a light gasp escape as she held her self like nothing happened.
"It's nice to see you again, Sentu." Kineko smiled as she leaned onto the counter not caring for the dust, " I thought that maybe you had took over when I saw the shape of the shop. What happened here?"
"Before I answered that," He growled as he came further into view his crystal eyes glaring at her, "who are you?" Kineko let out a laugh as she looked over his samurai outfit, which had a black bottom and white top a sword hanging off the side. His long black hair was tied in a low ponytail and he had long bangs that lay like her's on the side of his face though they reach as far as the rest of his hair.
"Kineko, " She replied lightly and added, " Kineko, the fox demon." Sentu let out a gasp as he walked forward to see if it was true.
"You really are here!" He gasped as he wondered around the area of the counter and brought her into a hug.
"yes I am, It's wonderful to see you again." Kineko smiled and then frowned, "You grew!" He laughed and looked down at her, he was maybe 4 inches or more taller then her.
"What would you think, I wasn't always going to be your height." He laughed as he kissed her cheek.
"True, though I still can wish." She smiled as she hugged him some more before he pulled away and looked her over.
"Man you look as sexy as you did when I first met you!" He growled, "I wish I was still yours." Kineko sighed and thought, 'Oh the past always comes back.'
"It just wasn't meant to be, Sentu, and you know that." Kineko scolded as she smiled and laughed, "Though what wonder times we had."
"Before the searching and battle." Sentu growled as he hugged her.
"Who are you?" He questioned quietly, she had left without answering that question fully.
#$ Flash back $!$
"Kineko! What are thou thinking, you should be hiding?" A younger version of Sentu(looks 23 in story looks 20 in flash) gasped as he pulled Kineko out from behind the door.
"Sorry," Kineko blushed as she held the front of her Kimono as she stared at the ground, her long bangs fell over her shoulders in front of her face(around mid back height) the rest of her bottom hair tied in a week tie, " But, I must leave." Sentu blinked and looked down at her.
"I don't understand, you're my mate!" He questioned in confusion at the lightly shake of Kineko's head.
"No, I'm sorry sir. I may have held that I would become your mate," She whispered with tears in her eyes as he pulled her close, "though if thou find us. We shall be sent to death." Sentu let out a crying sob as he kissed her forehead and stared down at her.
"What do you mean?" He questioned, who was she really.
"I can't explain sir." She sighed as she pulled away and grabbed her pack and head for the back door again.
"Who are you really?" He questioned again as she lightly turned towards him and let off a heartrending smile that showed her pain.
"As I have said sir, Kineko the traveler and I must travel again." She answered gloomily , he let off a nod he knew that she wasn't just a traveler as she said.
"When you return tell me the truth okay Kineko." He commanded as she sighed and whispered his answer.
"I shall, Sentu." The door closed sending a repeat of Sentu through the room, he let off a smile and sighed.
"Finally, she said my name." He laughed as he sat down on the ground and aughed. (back then it wasn't polite for a woman to say the man's name...this is demon world a few hundred years ago.. her demon age is about 3 to 4 hundred…I don't really know right now.)
&$ end flash back #$#$
Kineko sighed and glanced around, "I was a wanted assassin with my dear friend Mixy. We had gotten loss from each other when I hit my head and you found me." Sentu smiled and nodded.
"So you didn't want me killed for knowing you, Kin Yoku" (that's what she had been called in that time, or considered. I made it up) He sighed remember the many posters of that name and a girl that looked just like her though with long silver hair and forest eyes.
"It was always Kineko, however I picked up the Yoku." She laughed, "In the human world I'm considered Kineko Yoku." He nodded once more and smiled with happiness he finally got to see her again.
"So what do you need Ms. Yoku?" He asked, questioning the Ms., before contueing.
"Yes Ms." She smiled and pulled out the folder showing him the picture of the arrow. "Can you give me the list of demons that have had these arrows made. I knew that you would know, being the only place to get them." He smiled and laughed.
"That is true and yes. This is a special arrow so it will have less buyers." He explained as she handed her the picture back as he wondered in to the back room to coma back with a list and another of that arrow, "Here you go. I hope this helps." Kineko smiled and took them happily before kissing his check and turning leaving in silence.
"It was nice to see you again Sentu." Was all she whispered as she closed the door and opened her portal and left leaving him with a smile and the memory of the old times with something she had left behind. Laying on the floor was a long white ribbon that had his and her name written on it, with he had bought two, one for him that he still had and her's, however when he looked at it closely he found a note that said, "This is a new one since the old one is so old, mine ended up in a museum. I have one at my home too."
