• Chapter 2


    Ren walked to the half-demon lying still in the grass. Blood covered her dark blue kimono and clumped her copper brown hair. Cuts covered her whole face. he picked her up, and threw her over his shoulder. the stench of her blood filled his nose.

    Ren carried her to a river and set up a camp. He started a fire and laid the demon down next to it. Sitting down on the other side of the fire Ren watched her, studying her face. He noticed three black lines on each of her cheeks. her ears were a copper red with black tips and her tail the same. The girls hair would have been a beautiful copper color if the blood wasn't covering it.

    As he watched her, the scratches on her face began to heal, leaving flawless pale skin. Of course this didn't suprise him since he was the same. His father had an odd liking for humans, which in the end killed him. Ren never knew who his father was, only that he was insanely powerful. Guess not as powerful as he thought.

    As Ren was lost in his thought the girl had started to move. She sat up and rubbed her eyes. Quietly she looked around suprised. Her tail twitched and her ears pricked, searching for any noise. Her amber eyes rested on him, narrowing slightly. Sharply the fox girl jumped up and pointed a sharp claw at him.

    "Who the heck are you and what the heck am I doing here?" She calmly asked in a scary way. Ren looked at her, slightly amused in a way.

    "You fainted after I shot Casio. I brought you here so you could wash and I could set up camp." ren told her. He stood up and collected her bow and arrows. "I'll go hunting, you can bathe while I'm gone." He walked off into the woods as soon as he finished.

    Miko stared after the man. He seemed like he truly wanted to help. She sighed and got undressed to get into the river. She would mull over thing while she washed.

    Just as she finished washing the young man walked into the camp with his findings. Miko squealed and ducked behind a rock.

    "Oh.....Um.....I'm so sorry....I....I thought you were done." He said hastily scratching his head. "I'll just wait in the woods till you done." With that he dashed towards the woods, kinda desperate in a way.

    Miko walked out from behind the rock and grabbed her clother. after quickly drying off, she threw her clothes on.

    "Um.... You can come out now!" She called to the man. He walked back into the camp with apoloizes streaming out of his mouth. He looked so sorry and swore he had no clue she was still bathing.

    "Hey it's ok. I can see that you didn't purposly see me." Miko told him. "Don't fret. You could cook some of that rabbit though." She grinned, pointing at his catch.

    "Ok. I'm sorry. My name is Ren." He held his hand up with a small grin.

    "And my name is Miko." She said shaking his hand. "Now what about that rabbit? I'm starving." She grabbed one of the rabbits and started to skin it. After she finished, she started to cook the rabbit in the fire.

    Miko finished eating and stretched.

    "Ahh, I think I'm ready for bed. Thanks for the rabbit." She smiled at Ren and layed down next to the fire. She waited till she was sure he fell asleep to put her plan in process. As soon as he was asleep she rose and gathered her kunai, and jumped into a tree.

    With on last look at the man, she ran into the darkness.
