Promise?

Hikira's POV

I wasn't crazy, I just didn't have anyone to talk to. When I talked to myself, it wasn't indicating that I was crazy, it was just saying I wanted someone to talk to. Anyone. Even my lonely self.

"I didn't want it to be that serious…" I said. Atleast I got to see Kohaku. "But…would it help to see him again?" I asked myself.

"Hikira!" someone whispered loudly. "What?" I thought it was my conscience or something. "Are you alone?" it whispered again. Alone? I opened my eyes to see another's staring at me. It was Kohaku. He took a step back.

"What are you doing here?" I asked softly. "Why else? I just wanted to see you" he told me. I cocked my head to the side. (Ariel, not one word!) "Okay, but why?" "So I could give you this" he said, opening his fist. I couldn't help but show off my fangs with a smile. In his hand was a delicately carved heart made of wood. It looked so detailed and yet it was very simple as it was tied to some yarn.

He put it in my hand and I held it gently staring at it happily.

"Where'd you get this?" I asked. "Made it" he replied. "Its beautiful…" I said. He smiled a small smile. I was a bit embarrassed cause I was the one blushing and he seemed perfectly calm. I put it around my neck and we then started to talk about just stupid little things.

I thought it would be better if we got to know each other more. "Can I ask you something?" he asked. "Sure." "Would you….like to meet my family?" My eyes widened a little. Wasn't this a bit too soon? I mean…I would've loved to meet his family, but would they even accept me for who I am? He would probably only introduce me as a friend but still…I was a demon. I didn't let my face fall too much but you could see the worry on my face.

"If you don't want to then~" "N-no!" I said loudly cutting him off. "I just don't think they'll accept me…for who I am…or what I am." He shook his head at me. "Don't worry, my family isn't like that. I wouldn't put you through that kind of danger if they were" he said sincerely.

I took a deep breath and smiled. "If you say so." "Is tomorrow okay?" he asked. I nodded. "You promise to come?" he asked. He was just making sure. I kissed my pinky and wrapped it around his. "Promise."

Sango's POV

I couldn't stop yawning at demon training. I had already learned most of this stuff from Father. I hid behind the other students slowly inching my way towards the forest. My Hirikotsu was light on my back though it was limiting my space. "Where are you going?" someone whispered. It was just my friend Junko. I shook my head and disappeared into the forest. I felt so much better. That class still had another hour as well.

My pet demon cat, Kirara, went missing days before. I figured I'd maybe spend this time searching for her. Last time she went missing she came up again but I was starting to worry since it had been a few days now. She never usually left my side unless she found something unusual.

It was a bit dark outside so it made it a bit harder to see anything. When something sparkled, I looked all around me. It didn't take long to notice that it was my engagement ring. It honestly wasn't all that fancy but it was very shiny which was deceiving to some people. I sparkled very heavily under the moonlight. It only made me frown however.

Kyrou, my fiancé, was a brave strong man…along with being boastful, and self-centered. And though I was sure this was a rumor, I had heard he had killed a girl before he proposed to her because she wouldn't do as he said. He had said that wasn't true and claimed it was a demon that had killed her. He seemed very convincing about it when it had happened, yet still, some people were still unsure.

He was very nice and gentle towards me but…I wasn't sure I was really in love with him. My brother didn't like him too much and neither did Kirara. My father adored him, however. He thought Kyrou was perfect for me. I suppose I agreed to please my father more than myself.

When I heard a crack was when I stood still and stopped thinking.

"No offence but why do you think you father is so…serious?" someone asked. It sounded…kinda like…Kohaku. "I dunno. I think it kicked in when my mother died but he's always been a little serious" said a female voice. I hid behind a tree and looked around. My eyes widened when I saw Kohaku I the moonlight with a girl. I had never seen her before.

My facial expression lightened. This was cute. I had never seen Kohaku ever take a liking to any girls before. Wait…I squinted my eyes at the girl. When the moonlight hit her face something shimmered off of it. It looked almost like…a…fang?
