Chapter 15
Kisho slowly awoken by the warmth of a fire. He felt warm and there was no more pain in his back. He sat up and a warm red blacnket fell away to reveal new clothing on him. Kisho looked down at his new clothing which was a new top which was black like he usually wore but on the back was a blue dragon surrounded by blue fire. He had black troussers which have blue fire along them. He wore thick black and blue boots and around his head was a sweatband. Around Kisho's wrists was what looked to be bandages. Kisho stood up and looked at the great fire. By a tree not too far from him was two swords but he turned his head due to the sound of footsteps.
'Yunie is that you?' he asked looking up but it wasn't her. Before him stood the Demon Fire Cat.
'Kisho,' she said gently. 'how are you feeling?'
'am fine but what happened? Why are you here? Why is Yunie?' he asked.
'don't be so tensed i wont hurt you. It is about time we are alone.' she said sitting by the fire.
Kisho looked at her and sat down in the spot he stood. 'so explain?'
'well i was wondering through the forest and i found you hurt so i treated you. You needed some new clothes so i got you some new ones...' she said.
'wait!' he interupted. 'you changed my clothes.' he went slightly red from embrassment.
'what you afraid of baby of course i did.' she said in her usual tone. 'i just went to collect fish from the stream not too far from here.'
'huh?' Kisho looked at her. 'but why?'
'you hungry?' she said. 'i cant let anything happen to you Kisho, you mean too much.' she said under her breath.
'what you say?' he asked.
'what?' she looked at him as she cooked.
'what you said after what you just said' he said.
'what you say?' she began to think.
'no before that.' he said.
'you hungry?'
'no after that.'
'what i say.'
'before that.'
'you hungry?'
'oh forget it.' Kisho sighed.
'here you go food.' she passed him food and showed a rare lovely smile.
Kisho took the food off her and looked at her. 'she doesn't seem dangerous at all.' Kisho thought to himself. 'infact she seems very...nice...to put it simple but she kills why is that? Why does she do all the things she does?'
Kisho and the Demon Fire Cat sat in quiet as they ate. The Demon Cat looked up at the night sky that could be seen through the trees and Kisho sat starring at her. Kisho looked sighed after he ate but then jumped to his feet.
'oh my god i forgot about Yunie.' he yelled.
The Demon Cat looked at her. 'Yunie?' she muttered sadly. 'oh i see...you care for her.'
'huh?' Kisho looked at her. 'of course i do. She maybe annoying and she can be loud and sometimes weird. Yeah she hurts me but that is what makes Yunie, Yunie.' Kisho looked at the Demon Fire Cat as she stood up.
'you love her don't you?' she asked in her usual dull tone.
'no. No i don't actually.' Kisho began to think. 'she seems more like a annoying little sister then anything.'
She threw her arms around him. 'then stay with me please.' she begged on him but no tears fell. 'i need you. Please stay with me. Don't go to her. I need you so so much, I don't want to be alone anymore.'
'a..alone?' Kisho muttered. 'is that why you...'
'am not saying anything.' she said moving from him. 'look yours and Yunie's sword is over there. They fell off the horse and i found them. Take them. Yunie is in the direction. Follow the river once you reach it. You can't miss her.'
'thank you...' he began. 'do you have a name?'
'yes i do...it's one of a kind. Only one person in the world has it and that is i.' she said. 'it is Shi. Shi Tenshino...Angel of death.'
'thank you Shi...' he began.
Kisho began to move to her but she smacked him in the face. Kisho moved his hand away from her. 'i see now.' she said in a cold tone. 'you just wanted to know so you could tell your emperor correct. You want me to trust you to take me to him. You don't care for me at all do you? You was only lieing? You bastard. I thought you was the one i could trust.'
Kisho starred at her. 'am sorry Shi but i need to take you to him.'
'you bastard...go to the nearest town there is the devil's stone in the centre. Inscribed in it is the language of the demons maybe you will learn something about me you bastard.' she then disappeared in flames.
Kisho stood there looking at the place where she disappeared. All that went through his head was 'i don't want to be alone any more.' and 'the devil's stone you might learn something about me.' He walked over to the swords and ran off in the direction he was told to go. The ran along the river in search for her. As he ran, Shadow ran out ran to him. Shadow was going crazy and kept running in one direction then came back as if he was a dog. Kisho climbed onto Shadow and Shadow ran with him to a area of opened grass land. In the middle was a large patch of vines and Yunie was caught in the middle of it. She looked up and saw Kisho running to her upon Shadow. He rose his sword and slashed the vines as he stood near her.
'thanks Kisho.' smiled Yunie.
'and you are the one who was suppose to help me?' he sighed sacastically.
'shut up and get me out before these things come to life again.' she yelled.
Kisho reached out his hand and Yunie grabbed it and he pulled her up. 'they came to life?'
'yep.' Yunie sighed sitting infront of him. 'your injuries are gone...and you got some really cool clothes.'
'yeah...the Demon Fire Cat real name Shi gave me them and saved me.' Kisho said as they rode out the area. He began to explain what she said to him.
Yunie sighed afterwards as they began to leave the forest and into the night the opened grass plains. 'i see...it seems she is lonely.'
'yes i know but i have a duty to take her to the emperor.' he said firmly. 'no emotions allowed.
'you know Kisho you are cold hearted.' Yunie said turning her head away from him.
