I love my reviewers! Thank you so much for reading my story.
Byakku watched in horror as his new masters back was torn to shreds as a demon attacked his while he was protecting the still women's body.
"Byakku! Help me!" Suzaku's shrill voice penetrated his thoughts as she tore the demon from Rei's back. "He'll die if you don't! And you'll die with him!" He didn't even hesitate to jump in and fight along side the phoenix.
Kai broke into the bloody clearing right after that, and watched as the demons were swinging their arms and weapons wildly at thin air. Until the second piece of the gods golden coin was fused with the first, only those who were connected in one way or another with the gods could see them. He withdrew his sword that was strapped to his hip, slicing at the closest demon he could find. 'I can't believe I am helping a stupid, worthless fucking half-breed.'
"MASTER KAI! Just shut up about his blood and fight will you!" Suzaku squawked as she tore the head off of yet another demon.
Sighing, he obeyed his over groan beast with a groan. "I can't believe I'm doing this." After a short while Kai noticed that no more demons were left alive. "About time! They were coming out of the wood work."
Byakku was lying on the ground next to his master, nudging the still body helplessly. "Why won't he wake up?" He looked up at Suzaku. "I'm not dead, so why won't he wake up?"
"He's exhausted Byakku. He just needs rest." Suzaku replied, landing on the tigers back.
"He needs medical treatment first." Kai spoke out as looked the limp body over. "How many did he take on by himself?"
"There were three on top of that woman, he went after them first, screaming something about leaving her alone. Than two more came up to him from behind, that's when you showed up."
"KAI!!!!!!" A strangled scream let out through the forest as a gust of heavy wind blew through out the clearing. "Kai! I know you are here somewhere!" The shrill voice screamed out again.
"Fuck!" Kai sighed, slapping a hand to his forehead. "He found us."
Suzaku chuckled. "You ditched him at the castle after promising to take him on your leisurely hunt. Of course he would find you, he does have Seiryu after all." Another gust of wind rustled the trees and her plume. "And speak of the devil." She said as she watched a large blue dragon land inside the clearing. And blue haired boy sitting at the base of his neck, looking angrily at Kai.
"YOU LEFT ME BEHIND! Don't you know how to wait Kai!" The boy yelled from his perch.
"I might have, if you weren't busy stuffing your face you pig." Kai said, before sighing again. "Takao, do you have any emergency bandages with you?"
"Who do you think I am?" He puffed out his chest. "Of course I remembered."
Seiryu snorted as he knocked his partner off of his back. "Only because I reminded you at the last minute."
"That hurt!" Takao cried out as he stood from the ground, rubbing his rear angrily. Grabbing a bag from Seiryu's back, he tossed it to Kai. " You don't look hurt, so why do you need them?"
Kai ignored him as bent down to Rei, stripping him of his already ruined shirt to inspect the damage. "Takao, check the woman."
Without arguing, Takao did so. "She's dead Kai. She's had her throat and belly ripped out." He looked up. "Who is she anyway? And who is she?" He asked, noting the person with silky long black hair that Kai was tending to.
"He." Kai began. "Is unfortunately Byakku's guardian." He stopped for a second at Byakku's warning growl. "And she, is his mother."
Takao looked from the woman to her son, scowling as he looked him over. "Kai. He isn't human."
"I think I figured that one out on my own you idiot. But I can't choose who gets to be a guardian. Just help me stop the bleeding and get him back to the castle."
"What about his mother?" Suzaku asked quietly. "We can't just leave her here like this."
"Why not? We can't bring back the dead."
She squawked heatedly. "We could at least bury her! It is one thing we could do for her!"
"Or does Suzaku's master have no heart." Byakku growled out as he stalked over to the woman's body. Lightly placing his nose to the ground next to her, they watched as the earth before his began to part, creating a large grave. He picked Minoko up in his mouth, slowly lowering her into the hole, watching as the earth slowly covered her body. "Now let's get out of here before more demons show up."
"What the hell happened here anyway." Takao asked, kicking at demon corpse as he looked around. "Get in a little trouble Kai?"
"Shut your mouth pig. I'll explain when we get home. Now move out." He said as he picked up the limp body. 'You better not die half-breed. As much as I hate to admit it, we need you.'
