She was running again. She seemed to be doing that a lot now. She held the little girl in her arms as she ran. The little girl was crying and screaming. She was terrified. There was no way she could fight with her so close by but she couldn't very well leave her behind either.

Kiyomi saw a large inclusion up ahead and sighed. She could escape there at least. She winced at the close presence of the demons behind her. They were really close now. If this kept up she would definitely be in trouble.

Kiyomi gasped when she felt something sharp slice the side of her arm. They were fast.

"Lord Sesshomaru, Help me!" Kiyomi hugged the girl closer to her chest and quickly spiraled her herself through a set of thick branches blocking her way. She hopped on to the thickest branch of a tree and was in the air within seconds.

The girl let a small cry when she saw how high they were in the air. Kiyomi looked down at her the girl and sighed when she saw she was injured.

"You'll be safe soon, alright?" Kiyomi let herself fall on another branch on a very tall tree.

Kiyomi quickly jumped from the branch and slowly flew to the ground and landed softly. She set the girl down on the ground and looked her brown eyes.

"Listen," Kiyomi said with a small smile, "Run. Don't stop running until you are safe. Do you understand?"

The little girl blinked and nodded. Kiyomi turned her in the opposite direction they had come from.

"Go, hurry!" Kiyomi hurried the girl through the forest and turned her back to her. Those demons were approaching fast and would be here any moment.

They only thing she could think about was the little girl. She prayed she was headed toward safety.

Kiyomi's train of thought was interrupted when she felt the demon's demonic aura become stronger and they got closer to her. Within minutes they were standing in front of her with their fangs and claws bared.

They stood over her with great height but she did not budge. She had fought and destroyed demons larger than them before. The only problem this time was that there was more than one of them.

"You're either brave or stupid, girl." Kiyomi watched the largest of the two take a step forward. It was a large purple ogre looking demon with red eyes.

"She doesn't seem all that strong to me." The other one spoke this time. He wasn't as large as the other one but he was a lot stockier then the purple one.

Kiyomi quickly moved toward the red one. Kiyomi jumped up and aimed her hands toward the red demon's forehead.

"Tamashi-" Before she could even summon her power the purple demon raised his large hand up and batted her away from them. Kiyomi gasped as she went spiraling toward the ground, landing harshly on her back. The blow was strong enough to knock her from her senses for a few seconds.

Kiyomi's body trembled in pain as she lay on her stomach, clenching the grass and dirt underneath her. Kiyomi tried to push herself back up quickly but the pain paralyzed her longer then it should have.

When she had finally pushed herself up to her feet she was knocked down to the ground once again.

"Seems you aren't as strong as he claims you are little girl." Kiyomi winced at the distorted voice above her.

"He overestimated her." The purple demon walked closer to her, shaking the ground as he did.

"Haha, you're no match for the two of use weakling." Kiyomi gasped in pain when the red demon place his foot on her body and added pressure, nearly suffocating her.

Kiyomi tried to gasp for air but her oxygen was completely cut off. She couldn't do anything.

Kiyomi helplessly struggled, not knowing what else to do, as she desperately tried to get the demon from her. The demon relished in her squirming and laughed at the pitiful sight.

"Foolish woman," he chuckled in a sickening manner, "You need to try harder than that!" He laughed menacingly before he brought his clawed hand in to the air.

"Time to die!"

Kiyomi eyes widened, horrified through her bones and let out an ear-piercing scream. Just then she saw a flash of neon green over her. Then she saw blood spurt from the demon before he fell into pieces around her. Kiyomi quickly sat up. The purple demon looked at his dead companion with disgust.

"Weak bastard," he said as he turned to her. He made his way over to her and held up his own clawed hand.

"I won't be killed so easil-" Before she could do anything, the flash of green appeared again. The demon let out a gurgled moan before he too fell to pieces on to the ground. Kiyomi quickly moved away from the dead demon, but her vision was becoming spotty.

Kiyomi fell to the ground once more, though this time she was unable to move. She was weak. Kiyomi tensed when she heard a loud voice and foot steps approach her. Her blurred vision saw something approach her but before she could see who or what it was she let darkness envelop her.
