Chapter 26

'bye bye Mina.' Kisa waved at the little girl as she was placed onto Tai's horse by Yunie.

The sun was high and the day was warm. There was a gentle breeze as Yunie began to make sure everything of theres was all together on the horse. Tai walked out the house yawning as he said his goodbyes to the family. He walked passed Kisho who was in a tight hug from May-lu. She refused to let go of him and Kisho struggled to get free.

'your not leaving again.' cried May. 'you cant leave again.'

'but i have to go.' Kisho struggled to get free.

'i don't care your not leaving.' she muttered holding tighter.

'May...May i cant breath.' struggled Kisho.

'huh?' May let go of Kisho and looked at him as he sat there holding his neck.

'you idiot.' yelled Kisho jumping to his feet. 'you could of killed me. Bloody hell woman you are a stupid idiotic...' a rock struck Kisho on the head and he turned around. Yunie sat there looking away. 'why you throw that?' he yelled.

'what you was going to swear infront of the little ones.' she yelled.

'your going to get it kitty. Am going to...' Kisho began but felt himself being pulled backwards.

'you was going to swear. Oh Kisho.' cried May.

'come on May.' Kisho begged. 'let go please. Please. I need to go.'

'no, no, no.' cried May. 'you cant leave me again. You can't.'

'bloody hell woman let me go.' he yelled as he moved away and May fell to the floor.

'Kisho.' yelled Yunie as she punched him in the head. 'you could of hurt her.' she ran to May's side and knelt down besides her. 'are you ok?'

'yeah am fine.' sighed May as she looked up at Kisho with watery eyes.

'don't look at me like that.' he moaned.

'ah Kisho.' sighed Tai. 'say your goodbyes and then we can leave with out any problems.'

'shut up old man.' he growled.

Hatori leaned on the door frame and looked over at him. 'you might as well say you will visit again and she will be happy.'

Kisho sighed and walked to May. 'i'll be back soon.' he sighed as he looked at the ground.

'oh really?' she smiled happily. 'yipee.' she threw her arms around him once again and put him into a tight hug.

'okay...goodbye...' he struggled to say as he found it hard to breath.

May finally let him go and then they was ready to leave after another arguement but between Kisho and Yunie. They argued about not being mean to their relatives. Kisa waved goodbye to them as the horse began to walk. Kisho and Yunie were still arguing as they headed off out the town. Hatori, May stood there waving as little Mina chased them as she waved. She stopped at the village's edge and stood there waving.
They left the village and the fields outside the village and they came across a wide open plain. It was a lovely green medow and Yunie and Kisa both smiled as they saw the beauty of the place. There was a gentle running stream and very little treees but most of the trees was either cherry blossom or a willow tree. There was wild flowers growing through out the medow. Yunie and Kisa both jumped from the horse and began to jump and skip in the medow. Kisho and Tai rode along slowly and quietly as the two played about.

'dont go to far.' yelled Kisho after them.

'shut up you.' Yunie yelled giggling.

Tai looked at him. 'you do care.'

Kisho starred at him. 'i dont care that much.' he sighed.

'sure you dont.' smiled Tai.

'don't look like that old man.' Kisho yelled.

'what i do?' Tai sighed.

Yunie placed Kisa onto her shoulders and she began to walk with her. Kisa slowly took off Yunie's necklace and Yunie stopped and put her onto the ground.

'Kisa. Why you take it off me?' Yunie asked looking at her.

'i want to add something to it for you giving me the braclet.' she smiled looking at her.

'oh ok.' Yunie muttered as they sat down.

Kisa turned her back to her. 'no peaking.' she giggled.

'oh ok.' smiled Yunie.

'so where you get the necklace from?' Kisa asked.

'the same little girl that gave me that golden braclet you have on your wrist.' Yunie smiled.

'why?' Kisa asked.

'well you see she was dieing and i was there when she was dieing. I was hoping i could help her but i couldn't but i stayed with her and she called me a angel and she gave me a little letter to the lovely angel, thank you for helping me through my painful time and helping my sister to.'' Yunie muttered. 'you see her sister died year before her and i was there when she was dieing too. I kind of helped them in a way.' a tear formed in Yunie's eye.

Kisa turned around and was almost crying. 'you are so so nice.' she ran and hugged her.

Yunie hugged her back and Kisa finally moved away and passed the necklace to her. In the middle now was a golden shell which had some sort of red stone. Yunie smiled and placed the necklace around her neck and hugged Kisa again.

'where you get the shell?' Yunie asked.

'Mina.' smiled Kisa.

'come on you two.' came Kisho's voice.

They looked up and saw Kisho and Tai a few steps away from them. Yunie and Kisa stood up and ran off again. Kisho sighed and Tai laughed.

'come on you two. Don't run off to far.' Kisho yelled after them.

'come on Kisho.' Tai muttered. 'they are kids. Let them have fun. I mean after everything that has happened so far.'

'yeah your right.' he muttered.

Yunie and Kisa continued to skip and jump through the meadow and raced to the top of a hill. On the way to the top of the hill they jumped up and down. They skipped and they collected flowers and threw them into the air as they ran. As they got to the top, Yunie froze as she starred down. Kisa stopped and looked at Yunie and then back down at the bottom of the village. She tilted her head and then looked back up at Yunie. Yunie starred at the village in fear. Tai and Kisho came up behind them and Kisho smiled as he looked at the bottom of the hill. There at the bottom of the hill was village and by it was a large forest that led into mountains. Tai looked at Yunie.

'Yunie?' he muttered.

'Dad can we please not go there.' she cried like a little girl.

'Mummy?' Kisa muttered looking at her.

'Yunie?' Kisho muttered looking over at her. 'what's wrong?'

'Dad please.' Yunie begged as a tear formed in her eye. Just then it began to rain heavily.

Kisa screamed and jumped onto the horse with Tai and climbed under his cloak. Yunie stood there still frozen in fear starring at the village. Kisho walked up to her still on Shadow and placed her onto the horse. Yunie lowered her head and didn't look up at anyone. Kisho looked over at Tai.

'this is her own village.' he said. 'it is where...'

'shut up.' yelled Yunie. 'he doesn't need to know anything.'

Tai looked over at her and sighed. 'Yunie...'

'no i don't want to hear it.' Yunie yelled.

She climbed over Kisho and grabbed a blanket out of a bag and wrapped it around her. She placed part of it over her head as if it was a cloak and walked into the village. All the little homes had a gentle light on coming through the windows. The rain hit the ground and them hard as they walked around looking for somewher to stay. The rain seemed only to get heavily and it then began to thunder and lightening. Little Kisa became scared and cuddled up to Tai afraid.
They slowly walked through and came across a small inn. Kisho jumped down from the horse and so did Tai who was holding Kisa within his cloak who had fallen asleep. Yunie jumped down and walked up behind Kisho. Tai knocked on the door and it opened slowly. Stood there was a woman with brown hair and was wearin a long dark dress. She looked up at them and smiled.

'ah welcome. May i help you?' she smiled kindly.

'yes we are looking for a room to stay for the night.' Kisho asked.

'ah yes. Am sure we have enough room for the three of you.' she smiled.

'three?' Kisho muttered. 'there is four of us.'

'am sorry dear but...' she looked at Yunie who was under the cloak and pointed at her. 'i will no let a demon like her into my inn...further more she shouldnt even be in this village.'
