A few hours has passed and the sun was fully up. Suki had woken up and saw that she was wearing Yasashiku's kimono. She wondered where she could have gotten it. Than something on it caught her eye. On his kimono was blood... And it was almost fresh as well. She just stared at it as she said "where... where did this blood come from?"
Suki got up and looked around. She couldn't help but smile at everything around her. The birds were singing and she saw a few rabbits go by. Than she was brought out of her thoughts when she heard light snoring. And it was coming from above her. She jumped up into the tree and saw that Yasashiku was snoring.
He had a peaceful look on his face as he snored. Suki giggled at the sight of his tounge sticking out of his mouth. He was even drooling in his sleep. It was just a funny sight. Than something caught her attenchen. On his hands was dried blood. Suki calmly thought 'was he in a battle last night? Was that why he told me to stay here last night? Maybe I should ask him when he wakes up... hm what's this?'
She saw a book that was slightly sticking out of his shirt. Suki reached out for it and slowly took it out of his shirt. Once she held it in her hands she saw that it was a sketch book. She looked through the book and was awed by the breath taking art work. Most of the art work were of fields, meadows and other things. But there was one of a couple that she guessed were Kagome and Inuyasha.
It looked as if they were really here. Than there was one that caught her attenchen. In one drawing was a field of flowers. Petals dancing in the wind as a girl in a long gown stood there. Her hair moved in the wond. It looked so real to her. But when she was trying to look at the girl's face in the drawing... But she couldn't see a face on the girl at all. She had no face! It was like he never finished the drawing at all... But why?
Than she looked back at Yasashiku and saw his gold eyes staring at her. She gasped in shock saying "Yasashiku when did you wake up?" He just stared at hr as he said "why are you looking at my sketch book?" Suki calmly said "I was curious. I wanted to know what was in it so I started to look... I don't know why you wouldn't let people see it before. It's wonderful work. But why does this girl have no face?"
Yasashiku took the book from Suki's hands as he said "cause she didn't have a face when I dreamt it." Suki was confused as she asked "what do you mean? Did you really dream this?" He nodded as he said "I dreamt this when I was a child. It was a strange dream. I don't remember it though. I just don't recall what happened in the dream. Besides... it was only a dream. It's not like that girl was real."
Than he jumped out of the tree with Suki right behind him. He picked up his kimono top and placed it back on. Suki asked "how are you covered in blood?" He let out a "feh" as he said "I was in a fight duh. Why should you care anyway?" Suki looked away as she said "I don't know... I was worried about you. I thought that something bad happened to you. That's all."
He stared at her as he thought'she was worried about me? Why would she be? I haven't done anything for her and yet she was worried... Just what is she planing? Is she trying to get my trust just to crush it later? Well I won't let it happen!'
Suki calmly said "should we keep going or should we have something to eat first?" Yasashiku calmly said "we'll have something to eat. Than we'll leave." Suki nodded and she left to get some fish. Yasashiku was about to follow her until he heard a faint voice. He looked around and didn't see anyone. The half demon wondered where the voice was coming from. But he couldn't think of anything.
Than he followed Suki to the lake still wondering what that voice was and where it was coming from. But where...? Then he arrived at the lake and saw Suki fishing. She looked like she was having fun as she splashed in the water trying to get some fish. He stared at her as he sat by a tree. Suki went for another fish but missed. Yasashiku calmly stated "have you ever caught a fish in your life? Cause if you have you pretty much suck at fishing at the moment."
She just stared at him with a death glare as she said "oh yeah. How about you give it a try Mr. Smart Guy." Yasashiku stood up and walked into the water. He closed his eyes as he waited for the fish to come by. Than after just a minute Yasashiku swiped the water with his claws and caught three fish. Suki stared at him with wide eyes as she said "how did you do that?!"
He just stared at her with his calm gold eyes as he said "I had to survive on my own some how so I did some fishing. Now we just have to start a fire and we can eat." After a few minutes a fire was going and the fish were cooking. Yasashiku stared at the fire with his normal calm gaze. He was thinking about his past. About the times when his father would take him camping in the forest. It was a lot of fun for him.
He was brought out of his thoughts as Suki said "the fish are done." He took his two and left one for Suki. He started to eat as Suki asked "what was it like in your world?" The half demon stared at her as he said "it was almost like this one... But has more objects in that world. It's kind of hard for me to explain. But we are more advance. We've come a long way since this point in time."
Suki smiled a bit as she said "that sounds interesting. I wish I could go there." Yasashiku let out a "feh" as he said "don't bother. I've lived there and it was like hell for me. I had a horrible childhood and it got worse when that damn shadow demon killed my parents!"
She stared at the half demon and saw the anger in his eyes. Than she saw one of his swords glowing. Suki asked "why is your sword glowing?" Yasashiku grabbed the glowing red blade and stared at it. Suki asked "is something wrong?" He calmly said "I don't know. It's never done this before. This is a first- huh?" Suki asked "what's wrong?"
He calmly said "the sword... It's telling me that a demon is coming... Huh that's new." Suki gaze him a strange look as she said "you can hear your sword talking ?" Yasashiku nodded as he said "yes. I'm the only one who can hear my swords talk. I know it doesn't seem normal but it's true."
Suki just stared blankly at him as she said "when is it coming?" "In a few minutes." Said a still calm Yasashiku. Than he leaned against a tree placing his hand over his eye in pain. Suki asked "are you alright?" He groaned in pain as he said "it's him..." Suki was confused. She calmly asked "who? Who's coming?" "The shadow demon. The same one that killed my parents." Said a stressed Yasashiku.
He stood up holding onto his sword. Suki grabbed her staff as she said "is he fast?" Yasashiku clamly said "yes. He's a shadow demon. No pressents. But I can tell that he's coming just from the scar he gave me. In order for a shadow demon to attack they have to focus in order to become solid. They're like ghosts until they attack."
Then there was a huge crash. A lightning bolt hit the ground and it hit hard. There was a think cloud of smoke and a dark figure. Than a man walked out of the smoke. Yasashiku growled darkly as he said "you...!" They now could see a man. He was tall and had short black hair and matching black eyes. Wearing a black hakama. The man calmly said "hello Yasashiku. It's good to see you again."
Yasashiku growled more as he said "I'll get my revenge! I'll kill you for taking my family away from me!" The man laughed as he said "that was the most fun I had in my life. But the real thing is how strong have you gotten in the last 12 years. Have you gotten stronger instead of a small child that cried about the loss of his parents. I remember the scared look on your face. You feared for your life. Let's see how you fight now!"
Yasashiku growled as he said "this time... I won't back away in fear. I'll fight back and kill you!" Suki asked "who is this guy Yasashiku?" Yasashiku just growled as the man said "I'm the one who killed his parents and gave him that scar. Also I'm the same person that made him the man he is today. Killing his parents made him grow cold toward others. I'm known as the Great Shadow Demon Riku."
Than Yasashiku charged at Riku with his sword as he yelled "you'll die by my blade!" He took a swing of his sword at Riku but Riku dodge the attack. Suki was behind the shadow demon and took a swing at him with her staff. Riku grabbed her staff and threw her slaming Suki into a tree. Yasashiku stared at Suki than back at Riku as he said "you'll pay for everything that you've done! I'll kill you!"
Than Yasashiku felt a great power in his sword. He faced his sword and heard a telling him more about it's power. Riku said "what's wrong? Staring at your sword isn't going to get you to beat me!" Than Yasashiku stared at Riku with a huge smirk on his face as he said "don't worry. I will attack you with my new move!"
Than Yasashiku went into a defence position and started to swing his sword multiple times. Riku stared at the blade as it's blade started to disappear with each swing as the speed of the swing increased. Then a cyclone was created from the blade. The cyclone was red and had sparks of demonic energy. Yasashiku yelled "HELLISH WIND!" The attack hit Riku.
Once the smoke cleared Yasashiku fell to his knees in pain. He looked at his right arm and saw that it was badly burned. This made no sense. Did he mess up? Did the attack burn him if he did it wrong? Than he saw Riku standing there unharmed. Nothing was out of place. It was like the attack never hit him at all. Riku smirked as he said "you don't hold enough hate boy. That girl is making you soft. You're becoming a softy cause of that girl!"
Than Riku charged at Suki. Yasashiku stood up and stood in front of her taking the hit. Suki woke up and saw Yasashiku standing before her. She saw the burn that covered his right arm. Than she saw him fall to his knees and that he was gasping in pain. But what caught her sight was the blood on the ground.
Riku stared at Yasashiku as he said "you're soft. You're not a true demon. I'll be back to fight a real fight." Than he disappeared just like that. It was as if he wasn't there to begin with. But the blood on the ground and the burn on Yasashiku's arm was proof that he was there. Suki asked "are you alright?" Yasashiku stared at Suki with blank eyes than he fainted.
