A/N: Ok this chapter is about Maika. It is going to mostly have a lot of flashbacks.
Maika woke up with the sound of birds flying in the sky. Maika saw that Rin was already getting ready for the day's trip. Seem only yesterday that she first meet Rin.
Flashback
It was a cold rainy day in the middle of April. Maika, Kinco and Satomi was travelling to a near by village to rest up when Maika saw a fire.
" Hey guys look!" said Maika pointing to the fire's light.
" A fire but how?" asked Kinco.
" Let's go take a look," said Satomi.
So that what they did they walked over to the fire to see it was protected by a small hut built over it. Then they looked over and saw a demon lying in the rain. Maika took two steps towards the demon and looked at her.
She sure was pretty her long silver hair was so pretty.
" Who is she?" asked Maika.
" No idea. But judging by the robe, I would say someone important!" said Satomi.
" She sure is pretty for a demon!" said Kinco.
" KINCO!" yelled Maika.
Maika gasped when she saw that the demon began to stir.
" Keep it down Maika. Do you want us all killed?" asked Satomi.
" Sorry!" said Maika.
" Maybe we should leave," stated Kinco.
Maika looked at the demon and saw a cut on her shoulder. She was injured. Before she knew what she was doing she lean down and tried to get a better look at the cut.
That was when the demon open her eyes. Maika looked at the golden eyes and wonder how she could be so pretty.
" Get away from me!" said the demon.
Maika took a step back. The demon slowly moved so she was sitting up.
" Who are you?" demon the demon.
" My name is Maika. I just want to help," said Maika.
The demon nodded and Maika bandaged the demon up.
" What's your name?" asked Maika.
" Nir!" said Nir.
" You must be powerful," said Satomi.
" Huh?" asked Nir looking at him.
" Your outfit!" said Satomi.
" I guess!" said Nir.
" Listen I know you are a demon and all but can we rest here please!" said Kinco.
" You can if you wish! I don't mind humans," said Nir looking away.
The night passed and Maika remember talking the night away with Nir. Soon it was morning and Nir got up and they saw a two-headed dragon demon (A/N: I have no idea what Ah-Un is) walked over.
" Nir I hate to ask you this but would you like to travel with us?" asked Kinco.
" You would trust a demon with you!" said Rin.
" If you had wanted to hurt us you would have done so last night," said Satomi.
" Please!" said Maika. " It was nice getting to know you!"
" Alright, for a while any way!" said Nir.
End of flashback
Maika signed that was so long ago but yet it felt so close. So many things had happen to them and Rin had came through for her and the others. She remember the day when Rin risked her very life to save her.
Flashback
They had been walking for a long time and Maika was beginning to grow weak. Maika looked over at him and saw that Nir was as good as ever. Then again she was a demon and they could last much longer then humans.
Maika soon trip and fell down the hill. Since she was at the end none had seen her fall. Maika landed at the bottom hurt and sore. She tried to stand but her ankle was in pain. She looked up the hill and didn't see her friends.
Just then she saw two hungry demons.
" Umm... a human girl," said one of them.
Maika tried to move but the pain was so intense that she couldn't.
" Yes, we can finally eat my friend!" said the another.
" I don't think so!" said a voice.
Maika looked over and saw that it was Nir.
" NIR!" yelled Maika.
She watched as they began to fight Nir. Soon Nir was badly hurt and was bleeding badly. Nir jumped until she was in front of Maika.
" Get on my back!" said Nir.
" But your hurt," said Maika.
" Nevermind that!" said Nir.
So Maika got onto Nir back and they Nir jumped until the were back up the hill.
" Nir you saved my life, but you risk your own life," said Maika looking at the cuts.
" These are nothing. They'll clear up in a day," said Nir. " Come on the others are waiting."
End of flashback.
" I'm going to go get clean up!" said Maika as she walked away.
Maika wonder how long till she would have to get married to some jerk! She knew her duties after all she was a princess. That was Maika true secret that fact that she was Princess Maika. Funny thing was none figure it out. Like her name wasn't popular so why didn't they fuss over it?
Maika sat in the hot spring located near by and began to wonder. She wished the pain of her past would leave the pain of seeing her brother leave her, the day her father passed away and then the day her mom told her that she had to be married. Those days hunted her heart.
Maika pulled her legs closed to her and held them. Those day were the days that made her see that none ever really cared about her. She was just their princess and nothing more. She began to think back to the day she ran away.
Flashback
Maika sat at a huge table when her mother enter. It was during the middle of dinner and Maika sat there eating very little. The servants stood at the doors waiting to be told what to do. Normally she was used to this but today was different. She had just got news of her older brother being killed in battle.
" My daring!" said her mother.
" Yes?" question Maika not looking over.
" With your brother gone you are now the next ruler to this land," said Maika's mother.
Maika didn't say anything as she took another bite of her fish.
" As such tomorrow evening you will meet your future husband!" said Maika's mother.
" What!" said Maika standing up.
" Maika it's for the best," said Maika's mother.
Maika ran out of the room crying and up to her bedroom. She jumped onto her bed after locking her door and began to cry into her pillow. That night when the castle was asleep Maika pack a few things and ran out of the castle promising never to return.
End of flashback.
Maika knew that she would be found sooner or later since they were heading to her castle. She wonder what she could do. She didn't want to be married to someone she didn't know. That when Maika knew it she had loved Kinco.
The day that he died still hunted her.
Flashback (this is going to be the last one)
" KINCO! LOOK OUT!" Yelled Rin at the top of her lungs.
Kinco looked at the girl but it was too late the girl put the dagger in his left side of his chest near his heart. Rin jumped off Ah-Un not caring about the pain as she knocked the girl away and Maika caught Kinco. Kinco was bleeding badly and he would need a doctor fast if he was to pull though.
Rin soon threw the girl away as she became dust and walked over to Kinco who was looking at her.
" Rin your ankle..." started Kinco.
" I'm a demon. I'll live!" said Rin as she looked at the cut.
Rin saw that the dagger had gone to far in. If she tried to heal him it wouldn't work. Even her best magic couldn't preform miracles. Rin looked at Kinco and saw that he also knew that nothing could be done.
" Rin! Please look after the others!" said Kinco.
" No!" yelled Maika as she lean down on him. " Kinco please!"
" Maika! I'm sorry! Rin promise me!" said Kinco.
Rin nodded her head and held onto Kinco hand.
" Rin I just want you to know. Thanks for being there! I always wonder what it would be like to have a sister and well you made that dream come true! Take care Satomi!" said Kinco.
They waited in silence as Kinco slowly moved away from him. Rin tried to hold back tears for Maika shake for she knew loved Kinco. Shippo stared at Kinco and felt so stupid for how he had acted. Rin just watched as Kinco slipped away never to be with her again.
That night Rin preform the perfection spell and looked at the others.
Rin looked at her cut it was gone. She found this odd by then saw Kinco spirit hand touching the cut, then he was gone.
" Come on! Kinco would want us to press on!" said Rin.
End of flashback
That was when Maika heard Rin calling her to come on and she got up and got changed. She would have to do something soon.
A/N: Well there you go! Sorry if this chapter was a bit boring but my friend really loves Maika and she wanted me to write a chapter about her. The next one will contunie on with Rin and the others.
