Chapter 17

Yunie moved away from Kisho and walked over to her. The girl jumped to her feet. Along her face abover her eyes and on her cheeks was scars. Her hands too hand scars on adn on the part of the legs you could see was more scars. She starred at Yunie as Yunie walked near her. The little girl held the sword tightly and starred at them. Yunie walked to her and knelt down infront of her. The little girl was scared but her eyes shown emptiness. Yunie reached out her hand for the little girl.

'come on don't be afraid.' she said softly. The girl smacked her hand away.

'umm...Yunie.' Kisho muttered. 'i don't think you should...'

'i know what i am doing.' Yunie said looking at him. She then turned to the little girl. 'come on honey don't be afraid. We won't hurt you.' The little girl starred at her and step backwards. Yunie sighed and moved slightly closer to her. The little girl rose her sword slightly. 'come on honey what happened?'

'leave me alone.' the little girl growled.

'huh?' Yunie said. 'we won't hurt you. Please tell us what happened?'

'no leave me alone.' she cried. 'you wanna die too?'

'look sweetie.' Yunie said calmly. 'my name is Yunie. What is yours?'

'its...its...its...its Kisa.' she sighed looking away from her.

'Kisa huh?' she smiled. 'that's a cute name.'

'Yunie do you know what you are doing?' Kisho asked.

Yunie didn't listen too him. She continued to looked at the girl. 'you wanna tell me why you did this?'

'no i don't.' she cried out. 'leave me alone. You will never understand.'

Yunie starred at her sadly. 'how old are you honey?'

'am 8 why?' she snarled.

'am 17.' Yunie smiled.

'Yunie...' Kisho muttered.

'don't worry about her.' came a famaliar voice.

Kisho jumped and turned around. There stood Master tai with a smile on his face. 'Master Tai what you doing here?'

'well i was passing by.' he said.

'you was following Yunie wasn't ya?' Kisho sighed.

'yep.' Master Tai said. 'Yunie knows what she is doing. Don't worry about her.'

'who is the weirdo?' asked Kisa to Yunie quietly.

'the old one?' Kisa nodded. 'oh that is Master Tai. He was there for me when i needed him the most. Anyway you tell my what happened and i will tell you about me.'

'no.' Kisa yelled. 'no. You will never understand. Never.'

'understand what honey?' Yunie asked sadly.

'understand what they did too me.' she began to cry. She held the sword tightly and cried. 'you will never understand what i have been through never.' Yunie watched her as she cried. 'they were so mean to me...so so mean...it was horrible...they scared me ever so much. Especially the men...they scare me.' she cried.

'Kisa...' Yunie said. 'yes i do.' Kisho starred at Yunie with those words.

'no you don't. You will never understand.' cried Kisa. 'never. You dunno what it is like to be treated like i was...like i was...' Yunie went to hold her but Kisa pushed the sword into Yunie's side. Kisho was about to go to her but Master Tai stopped him. 'you will never know what i was treated like...never...they treated me like a...' Kisa couldn't finish.

'a thing...a object.' Kisa looked up at Yunie as she grabbed and pulled Kisa to her and hugged her tightly. 'It's ok Kisa you are safe now.'

Kisa cried onto her and Yunie held her. Her side bleeding. 'am sorry.' cried Kisa. 'i was scared am sorry. Am so so sorry'

She moved away from Yunie and pulled the sword out of her. Kisho went to Yunie's side as well as Master Tai. Kisa placed her hand onto the wound and a warm purple light shone upon it and when it faded so did the injury. Yunie smiled and picked up Kisa. Kisa began to cry once again on her until she finally fell asleep.

'so now what?' Kisho asked.

'we can take her with us.' Yunie said.

'what?' Kisho yelled. 'no. Bad enough you are with me, i don't need another child with me.'

Yunie punched him. 'she has been through alot and she needs someone to care for her.; Yunie yelled. 'i understand what she has been through and so i want to look after her.'

'huh?' Kisho looked at Yunie. 'what you mean by that?'

'it's none of your business.' she sighed looking away.

'now now children.' Master Tai said walking up with a great brown horse. 'we will have to stay the night in a empty house and leave in the morning.'

'we?' Yunie muttered. 'you coming too?'

'of course i am. I am bored of following you.' he said smiling.

'what another one?' yelled Kisho. 'oh great i'll never complete what i have too do.'

'stop your whining Kisho and help me find a place.' Yunie snapped.

'yeah yeah just a minute.' Kisho sighed looking at the red stone. 'it's the stone that Shi told me to look at.' he muttered. 'man i can't make out what it says.'

'two demons will appear on the living releams to carry out their tasks. One will bring destruction while the other peace. Within one is a innocent soul which needs to be released though...' Master Tai stopped. 'it seems not to be all there. The stone aint all there.'

'how could you read that?' muttered Kisho.

'why i can almost do anything.' Master Tai smiled.

'your so full of yourself.' Yunie sighed hitting Master Tai on the back.

'ah yes so i am.' he smiled.

'sometimes i dunno what to think of you.' Yunie muttered.
