Ch.17 The good and The bad

Three days later

Midoriko had not returned home like she had promised several days ago. Instead she had sent a messenger hawk to inform her family she'll be back the next day as she was training hard learning a new technique. She told them she was not too far from home and not to worry. They took her word for it and would await her return tomorrow, despite the fact that Moniku was out there somewhere. Moniku has been quiet, since Jodan returned, but they knew it was only a matter of time.

Midoriichi, Kimiko and Jodan set out to find more info the demon they were facing. They left Ron and Kimiko back at their village in Yamanouichi so they could rest up. Midoriichi felt like they could make more progress now.

However it was Chisana-ichi and Reo who were seemed to be having the worst of it. Dirt covered their faces as they panted heavily. They stood back to back.

"I can't believe I let you talk me into this Tenshi(Angel)." Reo said.

"I can't believe I let you talk me into this!" Chisana-ichi exclaimed.

They were completely surrounded by the Neko's finest soldiers. Josei watched as they had been fighting all day. Her arms were folded across her chest as she simply nodded and the soldier's attacked again.

"Don't you guys ever get tired?" Chisana-ichi asked as she dodged their attacks.

"Welcome to my world." Reo told her.

"What's the matter daughter of Midoriichi? I thought you wanted me to train you?" Josei asked.

"Yes train me, not Kill me." She responded as she ducked a right hook, kicked the soldier away.

"In battle the enemy will not relent, and neither will I." Josei said.

Reo jumped over two soldiers and kicked one his back, knocking him into the other. "Still this is a bit eccentric don't you think mother?" Reo asked her.

Josei simply smiled. Somehow Reo knew that was a bad sign. Reo was right because it wasn't long before she herself jumped into the middle of their battle and began to attack.

"Holy hell!" Chisana-ichi said as she dodged the first attack, but was hit by her kick. She reeled over and was soon joined by Reo.

"Absolutely pathetic." Josei said as she walked out from among the group. The scars on her torso from the fight with Kuraiichi twenty years ago in plain sight.

"We've been fighting all day." Reo told her. "Our bodies were bound to give out sooner or later." He sat up against a tree.

Josei let out a sigh. "At least you're making progress. At this rate you'll be a capable fighter, one that can protect his girlfriend in a dire situation." She told him making her son blush.

She looked at the two half demons, and smiled on the inside. This time she knew her child would be safe, if she could not be there to protect him. She began to think of her three daughters Koni, Roni and Buraun. She sighed as knew that now was as good as any time as any other.

"Reo, you once asked me about the fate of your three older sisters." Josei.

Reo's expression changed as his mother mentioned his deceased sisters.

"Sisters?" Chisana-ichi asked.

Josei nodded. "I had three daughters before I had Reo. However they all died twenty years ago." She said.

"Did they die fighting Kuraiichi?" Chisana-ichi asked the Neko leader.

Josei shook her head. "No they died…..fighting each other."

Reo and Chisana-ichi exchanged glances before looking back at Josei. Josei excused her soldiers, letting them know the training session was done for the day. After they left she sat done and told the story of her three daughters.

Midoriko's body was sore, as she had just got through sparring with Moniku. On top of that she almost has her new technique perfected, though trying to test it out on Moniku was ill advised. Her mentor merely redirected the energy flow with her own terrifying demonic aura, another trait she must learn if she wants to get stronger.

"You did well." Moniku said as she sat across from Midoriko. "Tea?" She asked as she handed Midoriko a small cup.

Midoriko accepted the tea and took a sip. "I don't feel like I did." Midoriko told her.

Moniku chuckled. "You can't expect to just beat me that easily child, these things take time." Moniku told her.

"I am no child." Midoriko said growling at being called a child.

"You've been so energetic lately Midoriko, care to explain?" Moniku asked her apprentice.

Midoriko just stared at her, before deciding to speak. "Well tomorrow evening I face my younger sister in competition for the seat of the Tori throne." Midoriko told her.

Moniku just nodded as she sipped her tea. "I have to win. It's the only way to secure safety for those I want to protect." She said.

"All the more reason for you to win then." Moniku said making Midoriko look up. "It's like I said, the future of not just the Tori but the lives of everyone else is in your hands. Mine included." Moniku stated.

Midoriko thought hard on her words. Moniku told her that if she were to take the throne as the new Tori leader, she could end the oppression that the smaller clans were suffering from the Tori and Neko. Midoriko didn't like what she saw when she went with Moniku the other day. She wanted to do something, but without the power, what could she have to offer anyone.

Midoriko then looked at Moniku's right arm. Although it was hidden, that mark, that symbol of power that Moniku carried intrigued almost as much as the demon herself did.

"Moniku…That mark." Midoriko started.

"No." Moniku said coldly. "I will not brand you with this mark, so forget about it." Moniku told her.

"You don't even know what I was going to ask." Midoriko shot back.

"You were going to ask if I could brand you. Don't let your lust for power consume you. This mark is a reminder of everything I had to sacrifice to attain my freedom. Contraire to what you have been told, freedom is something you earn. No one is born free Midoriko." Moniku said.

"What is it anyway? What kind of mark is that?" She asked the older demon.

"This particular mark appears on those who have cosigned their lives to hell. When I die, hell will claim my soul." She answered.

"Hell? Moniku you didn't?"

"I did. It was either that or return to a life of hellish servitude, either way I was going to hell. Besides all demons go to hell when they die anyway." She said with a shrug.

"Moniku." Midoriko said softly.

Midoriko has thought about her mentor's strife. 'You suffered so much. You were denied your freedom and yet you still pushed forward. Such power.' Midoriko thought.

"What will it take to attain your level of power?" Midoriko asked.

Moniku smiled on the inside. 'This kid, never ceases to amaze me.' She thought. "I promised you power, and you will have it. So don't worry Midoriko." She looked the younger woman in her eyes, Midoriko looked away, remembering what almost happened when she got lost in Moniku's golden stare.

"Midoriko, you will carry on my fight for me wont you?" She asked.

Midoriko looked up. "What are you talking about?" She asked.

"I'm getting old Midoriko." Moniku said as she got up. "I lived for one thousand years, who knows how much longer I've got. For years all I have thought about is how the Tori and Neko have robbed me off my life. I have unfinished business, and as my apprentice I want you to finish what I've started." Moniku said as she looked out a window.

"Moniku are you asking me to fight my own clan? I can't do that." Midoriko said to her.

Moniku shook her head. "This is much more than just clan loyalty. It's about right and wrong. You have to understand, sometimes you have to do something wrong, for something to go right." Moniku said as she looked at her right arm.

Just then the mark on her arm began to glow, and Moniku hissed in pain. Midoriko watched as Moniku immediately doubled over in pain. She hissed as the pain quickly overcame her and she passed out.

"Moniku!" Midoriko called out to her.

Hours later

Moniku awoke to see she was in her room. She felt a cold cloth was resting on her forehead. She looked around and saw Mujakina was folding her black yukata. Mujakina smiled when she noticed that Moniku was awake.

"You're awake M'lady." Mujakina smiled. "I'm so glad, try not to move to much your body is still healing up from the energy surge." She told her.

Moniku looked around and saw that Midoriko was in the room as well. The young Tori demon looked her way when Mujakina had announced that she had finally woke up. She could see that Midoriko wanted to know what was going on.

"Mujakina, leave us." Moniku said.

"Huh? But M'lady you're injuries." Mujakina protested.

"I'll be fine, leave us." She repeated.

Mujakina just gracefully bowed before quickly exiting the room. Moniku sat up, her body aching a little from the earlier episode.

"What happened to you?" Midoriko asked.

"Remember when I said how I was beaten by holy weapons?" Moniku asked.

Midoriko nodded. "Well there is still residual energy from that. It's still trying to purify me, slowly eating away at me. This mark on my arm acts up when that happens, like a counter reaction. It happens at least once a month, and it seems to be getting worse with age." Moniku.

'And yet you're still fighting.' Midoriko thought. "You're so strong." She whispered.

"What?" Moniku asked her apprentice.

"Nothing." Midoriko said shaking her head. She walked over and sat next to Moniku. She layed the demon back down as she took the towel and placed it back in the bucket. She wrung it out and lightly went over Moniku's face with it. Like her mother did for her when she had a fever.

"I'm fine Midoriko."

"Shut up, you're not ok." She said cutting her off. "You're so full of it Moniku. I don't know what you're trying to prove by acting so tough in front of me. Right now living is more important." Midoriko said as she placed the towel back in the bucket.

Moniku chuckled. "I don't know it seems to be working well. I've been getting a lot of attention lately." She said with a smile.

"Baka(Idiot)." Midoriko said in response.

"You're going to make some guy a very happy man one day." Moniku told her.

Midoriko scoffed. "There's nobody like that for me." She said.

Moniku sat up. "Oh come now, you're being too hard on yourself."

"Whatever." Was her reply.

"You just have to expand your horizons, and look in different places. You'll find it eventually." She told her apprentice.

Midoriko said nothing as she gazed out of the window. "Hey Moniku." Midoriko said as she turned to look at her.

Midoriko's eyes shot wide open when she found Moniku's lips crashed up against hers. Midoriko pulled back quickly to see Moniku smiling seductively at her.

Midoriko's heart raced she wasn't expecting it, nor was she ready for it. Moniku continued to smile at her. Moniku had just stolen her first kiss, she always thought it would be with Reo, but she was wrong about that. She wondered what else she was wrong about, as images of Moniku flashed through her mind.

Moniku was beginning to think that something was wrong with Midoriko as she hadn't said anything or moved for a full minute. When she was about to speak, Midoriko closed the gap and kissed her back. They broke the kiss and stared at each other.

"I'd knew you'd come around sooner or later." Moniku teased.

"Shut up and kiss me." Midoriko said as she pressed her lips against hers again.

Pushing Moniku back down onto her futon, she climbed on top of Moniku. Midoriko loved the feeling of Moniku's lips, she knew she liked her touch from the moment she first met her. She just never gave it thought that she could like another woman. Midoriko saw nothing wrong with it, after all her mother's being in love was how she was born. But as of now she would worry about that now, and enjoy the pleasure her ebony skinned mentor had to offer.

Reo, Chisana-ichi and Josei just sat outside the caves, the wind kicking up their hair. Reo now knew the truth behind his sister's death. Chisana-ichi just looked at him, she knew there was a lot on his mind. After all siblings were supposed to look out for one another like she and Midoriko did for each other. She leaned her head onto his shoulder, and he looked at her.

She offered him a reassuring smile, and he smiled back as he wrapped his arm around her drawing her closer. They kissed passionately. Seeing this Josei couldn't help but smile, she knew her son was in good hands. The wind picked up again and she looked up into the sky and smiled. Somehow she could feel it, her daughter Buraun was watching over them.

'I know you can see them from wherever you are. Continue to watch over them.' She said in her thoughts.

Just then she caught the scent of three people heading her way. She got up when she recognized who it belonged to. "It's about time; I was beginning to think you were never coming back." Josei said as Midoriichi, Jodan and Kimiko walked up.

"Josei, I need to ask something important of you." Midoriichi told her.

"What is it?" She asked.

"It's about Moniku." Midoriichi stated.

Well that ends today chapter. I hope you guys enjoyed it, I know it was a filler chapter, but tomorrow we get back on track as Midoriko and Chisana-ichi face off for the seat of the Tori throne. However for today's chapter do you guys wonder if Josei has the answers regarding Moniku's history with the Neko? As for Midoriko and Moniku, is there any hope left for the young Tori demon or has she finally fallen into Moniku's dark grasp?
