Chapter 33

'stay here and don't move.' Kisho said walking off into some trees.

Yunie sat down on the ground by a fire that Kisho lit. The night had came and the sky was covered by stars and a large full moon. The moon was a pale red in colour and Yunie starred at it.

'it is almost time.' she muttered. 'why cant he believe me. I thought he loved me...I guess...i guess Jed was right about Kisho.'

She sat there in silent as Kisho walked back. He was carrying fish in his arms as he walked over to the fire. Yunie turned away and refused to look at him as he began to prepare the fish. A while later she felt someone tap her on her shoulder. She turned around and Kisho was there holding out some fish for her. She snarled at him and turned away. Kisho growled and turned her around.

'you going to eat or not?' he asked.

'why would i accept anything from you anymore?' Yunie asked.

'for godsake Yunie. You need to eat.' Kisho growled.

'why? So am alive when we get to the captial. I would rather not eat.' Yunie said turning away.

Kisho slammed his hand onto the floor. 'don't go like this with me Yunie. You either eat or i will force you.'

'if you try i'll bite you.' Yunie snapped.

Kisho placed the food down and then sat down infront of her and began to rub her behind her ear. Yunie shook her head and pulled away from him. Kisho pulled her close and continued to rub her behind her ear. Slowly she began to purr but she would never look at Kisho. He then lifted her head and tried to feed her. Everytime he put food into her mouth she would spit it back out. Sometimes on him. Kisho smacked her again and pulled her close.

'look Yunie i want you to fucking eat something. So eat something now. You need food in you.' Kisho snapped.

'no matter how hard you hurt me. I am not going to eat.' Yunie said looking away.

'fine. You gave me no choice.' sighed Kisho.

Kisho placed some food into his mouth and pulled Yunie to him and placed his lips on hers and passed the food into her mouth. He refused to move until she had ate it. Yunie pulled away and lifted her leg and kicked him. Kisho fell backwards and she jumped to her feet and forced one foot onto his chest.

'i need you to listen to me Kisho.' Yunie cried. 'you don't understand on how important it is too me and the people of this world if you don't.'

'get off me Yunie.' growled Kisho.

'listen to me. Your emperor is the other demon from the legend that Tai began to read to you when we was in that town.' Yunie explained. '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...'

'yeah thats all he said.' Kisho said as Yunie pushed down harder.

'Within one is a innocent soul which needs to br released through love and friendship. It is that one that is the key to the destruction to the Earth if the destructor gets their hands upon it.' Yunie said. 'love is the only way the innocent soul is connected to the demon soul but yet the one who loves the cursed one has to love both sides other wise the key will just go to the destructor with a broken heart and with the broken heart the key is more easierly used.'

'key? Destructor?' Kisho muttered. 'yeah your insane Yunie.'

'don't you get it Kisho.' yelled Yunie. 'your emperor is the destructor. I am the key. Think about it.'

'shut up Yunie.' yelled Kisho who grabbed her foot and pulled it causing her to go down.

Yunie smashed her shoulder onto the ground and Kisho got up and chained her legs together. Slowly Yunie sat up and looked at Kisho who was know stood infront of her as she remained sat on the ground.

'anything else you like to tell me?' Kisho asked.

'no.' Yunie growled. 'nothing else but the fact that i loved you and i trusted you with my heart and soul.'

'whatever demon.' snarled Kisho who walked away and sat by Shadow.

Yunie hung her head and looked at the ground. Kisho sat with his back to her and he starred up at the night's sky. It was a clear sky with no stars or moon like the other nights that they spent camping outside. There was a gentle bitter wind that blew and not a sound could be heard in the distance. Kisho looked over his shoulder and looked over at Yunie who had her head down.

Yunie's head stayed down as she quietly cried to herself. As she cried she felt someone place their hand on her shoulder, the one she fell on. She moved away as the pain shot through her arm. Slowly Yunie looked up to see Kisho stood there and in his hand was a bandage. In silence Kisho looked at Yunie's arm. There was a large deep slash in her arm from where she fell. Kisho looked down at the ground and noticed sharp stones around her. He sighed and wrapped the bandage around her arm in silence. Yunie looked at him as he wrapped the bandage around her arm. He was silent the whole time.

'Kisho.' Yunie muttered moving her hand onto his as he finished tieing the bandage. His hand rested on her wound as her other hand rested on his arm. 'the reason why i wanted to stay with you so much when you saved me from being raped was because i knew that was something about you. Something i couldn't quite put my finger on. Then i remembered when i was a child. At first i was so full of hate and anger with everyone, including boys. Tai and Alan were teaching me to get over that but before i did, i met a young boy. He was older then me but he was caring and kind.' Yunie stopped and sighed. 'you see, before my behaviour started to improve this boy cared for me. I tripped over one day while i was out exploring the woods and forests in the area. At the time we was traveling so i wondered off during the night when everyone was sleeping. I had hurt my foot and i couldn't move. While sat there cursing myself a group of men saw me and like back at the village they tried to rape me but a young boy came out with a sword. He attacked the men. Even though he was half their size and way younger then them, he fought them off. At first i refused to let him come near me but he stabbed his sword into the ground and he sorted my foot out. It was the first time i began to notice kindness in men. He then lifted me up and placed me on his back and took me back to the camp site. He joined us for a while because he was travelling on his own to become a great fighter. It wasn't too long before we settle down and set up a home in the woods. The boy stayed with us and he played with me alot and it was great fun. Even though he was only with us for a short while, my demon soul left my body and i became a young beautiful girl who loved all. I had long deep pink hair, with feathered wings and at first i was a shy quite girl...' Kisho looked up at Yunie as she said those words and remembered his talk with Tai. 'i then grew to be a playful and kind child. Once he left...i began to get sad and depressed and the demon soul came back in but i wasnt the same. I was determine to find that one who almost made me free...'

'let me guess. You think it was me.' Kisho muttered. 'Yunie. I played with a girl with long deep pink hair but i never saved anyone when i was a child.'

'Kisho are you sure you even remember your child hood properly?' asked Yunie who looked at him sadly. 'you say one thing but your eyes say another.'

'shut up Yunie.' Kisho muttered. 'you don't get it.'

'i do...' sighed Yunie. 'the boy i played with smashed his head agaisnt his head when he saved me from falling. he lost part of his memory, so Tai took him home.'

'i found him not too far from here...he hit his head pretty hard.' Kisho heard in his head. He rose his hand to his head and then moved it away. 'Your stupid Yunie. Now get some sleep. We leave early.'

'but kisho...' Yunie began.

'no Yunie.' snapped Kisho. 'get some sleep. Now.' he demanded.

Yunie sighed and laid down, curled in a ball as Kisho sat by Shadow. He closed his eyes and sighed. Kisho slowly opened them and looked up at the sky.
