Kimmi stood there in awe. "Children get inside." Kimmi told them. The two ran inside and Kimmi stepped to where Kuri was. "It can't be. I thought it would be for another couple of years. Way ater our time." Kimmi told Kuri. I shrugged "So can you tell me about general Yoshi?" I asked them.
"Well Yoshi used to be a general until he got a hold of a demon sword. He became unstoppable. The only person who could stop them was our mother. She told our father that if she doesn't make it that there will be someone from a different time. She told him that she would save us." Kuri told me.
"Our father passed it down to us and we passed it down to our children." Kimmi added.
"So who went to go burry your mother at the demon slayer camp?" I asked them. They looked at me surprised that I had known of where Michiko died. "How did you know that?" Kimmi asked me.
"I had a vision as I entered the village. It was the one of your mother died. I've had three so far." I told them. "Did that necklace glow at all?" Kuri asked. "Yes in a forest by the clearing that isn't far from here." I told them.

Kuri then looked down at my necklace. "That necklace holds memories of our mother's life. Every memory since she got that necklace has been stored. It is also very powerful. If Yoshi ever got a hold of it, this world wouldn't be the nicest place to live in." Kuri told me. "So how can I stop him?" I asked Kuri. "That I do not know. Our mother never told us anything that would help stopping Yoshi. You must figure that out yourself." Kuri told me. I sighed 'Great I have to find a way to stop Yoshi by myself.' I thought.
"What about my visions? Will I still have them?" I asked Kuri. "I'm not sure but I believe you will continuously have these visions. They might help you discover a way to stop Yoshi" He told me.
"Well I guess we better get going if we want to stop Yoshi." Bankotsu said.
"Please stay the night and Emily we have to show you the shrine our mother protected." Kimmi said getting up.
"The rest of you can stay here." I told them as I got up.
"I'll go with you just in case." Bankotsu told me. I looked at him and rolled my eyes.
"We are only going to a shrine in the village. It's not like I'm going to a moutain infested with demons but if you really want to come with me then fine." I told him. He picked up his Banryuu and left the hut with me to follow Kimmi. Once we were a safe distance from the hut Bankotsu put his arm around my waist. "You can't wait till tonight?" I asked Bankotsu. He nodded. I gave him a quick kiss and continued to follow Kimmi. We reached the shrine within a couple of minutes.
"This is the shrine. I will leave now so you can visit it. I will show you and your friends to the inn. I will be back soon." Kimmi told me before she left. Banktosu and I walked inside the shrine. My nechlace started to glow again. I soon collapsed.

~Dream~

I saw that I was in the shrine but Bankotsu wasn't with me. "Bankotsu?" I calledout but I heard no answer. "He's not here. You simply collapsed to come here and speak to me." An unfamilar voice said.
"Where is Bankotsu? Did you hurt him?" I asked the voice.
"No I didn't hurt him. You are in a dream but he is taking care of you as we speak." The voice said.
"Who are you?" I asked the voice looking around.
"Michiko." Michiko said as she stepped out of the shadows.
"Wow, uh hi Michiko." I told her.
"It's nice to finally meet you Emily. I see that you are having visions of my past." Michiko told me.
"Yes. Will I be getting more?" I asked her. She nodded yes.
"Do you know how I can defeat Yoshi?" I asked her.
"I do but I realised it after I died but I can't tell you. You must figure that out through one of my visions." Michiko told me.
"You can't give me a hint?" I asked her. She shook her head.
"You have inherited my wisdom and if you didn't even inherit that you'd still be a smart, wise girl. You can do this. Now I must go." Michiko told me.

~End of Dream~

I woke in Bankotsu's arms. I looked around to see that I was in a room. The others weren't here. "You got to stop collapsing like that. I don't think I'll be able to catch you every time you collapse." Bankotsu told me. I sat up "Well I guess you'll have to be around me all of the time. Where are the others?" I asked him.
"They are in a room not far from here. They know that you collapsed sbut they decided to leave you alone until you regained consciousness. I only stayed to make sure you were alright. We are safe for now. What did you see when you collapsed?" Bankotsu asked me.
"Well I was in the shrine but I was talking to Michiko. She told me that she knew how to defeat Yoshi but she didn't realise it until after she died. She told me that I will be able to figure out how to defeat Yoshi." I told him.
"I know that you can do it. Your strong, beautiful and smart." Bankotsu told me. I smiled at him.
"You are too sweat." I told him. I pulled him close to me and gave him a long deep passionate kiss. As soon as our lips parted there was a figure standing out side of our room behind our closed shoji screen. My eyes widened a the figure started to open the door. I quickly got away from Bankotsu as the screen was now open. It was Jakotsu. He seemed like he was suspiciousof anything. I was relieved that he didn't suspect a thing.
"Hey Emily! Glad that you are awake. Are you alright?" He asked me.
"Yes I am Jakotsu. Thank you for coming to check up on me. You can tell the others that I'm fine." I told him. He nodded and closed the screen. He started to walk away. "That was close." I said aloud.
"Now where were we?" He asked me. I smiled and crawled back infront of him. I continued to kiss him. We stopped after ten minutes of needing breath. Then Itazura came and told them that it was time for dinner. We ate dinner and retired to their rooms. Bankotsu snuck out of his as the others were asleep so he could be with me.

I was laying awake waiting for Bankotsu. Once I heard the shoji screen open I looked over to the person entering my room. I was Bankotsu. I smiled at him as I sat up. He closed the screen and sat next to me. He put his arm around me and we cuddled for a bit.
"Bankotsu I think that if I don't kill Yoshi I will die exactly like Michiko. After all we did get cut in the the same place. I think history is slightly repeating itself." I told him. He looked at me and pulled me tighter to him. "You are not going to die. It was a coincidence." Bankotsu told me.
"I don't think it is a coincidence Bankotsu. I don't want to die." I told him slightly tearing.
"Don't think like that. You are going to stop him and I will make sure nothing like that happens to you." Bankotsu told me. He squeezed me tight. I looked up at him and smiled. "I love you Bankotsu." I told him.
"I love you too Essie." He told me. He kissed my forehead. We both layed down cuddling. "Hey Essie?" Bankotsu asked.
"Hmm?" I asked him almost asleep.
"You think that you could show me how flexible you are some other time?" He asked me.
"Sure thing Bankotsu." I told him as I looked up at him and smiled. I gave him a goodnight kiss and we both drifted off into dream land.
