Regained Memories

Kirai explained everything. She told Safaia how she and Sesshomaru got separated from Rin and the others, but most importantly, she told Safaia about her regained memories.

"So, you're telling me that you are my sister that I lost all those years ago?" Safaia questioned as she began to cry.

"Yes, I am."

"Thank god! I thought it was you, but you didn't remember anything, so I wasn't sure at all!" Safaia threw her arms around Kirai and the two girls hugged.

"I'm so sorry I forgot everything. I swear it won't happen again."

"It better not!" Safaia laughed through her tears, causing Kirai to laugh as well. Meanwhile, Sesshomaru was just sitting there sipping his tea uncomfortably.

"So, do you have any idea who could be after me? They took Rin and the others, so we need to hunt them down."

"Actually, I do have an idea. There was this male witch, a warlock, named Hakai. He and his brother were madly in love with us. However, we fought to defeat the older brother who was after me. It was soon after that, that you disappeared. Hakai must have thrown you down the well, or something when you rejected him and helped me kill his older brother, Shoku."

"Why did we kill his older brother? Were they bad or something?"

"They started out as good, but after we rejected them, they were consumed with hatred and grief that they turned evil. They became obsessed with us and tried to kill us multiple times."

"Why did we reject them?"

"You were in a relationship... with a certain demon at the time, and I just wasn't interested. I am waiting for "the one" and he just wasn't it."

"I see... Tell me, who was this demon?"

"Uh... If you don't already know, then I can't tell you. It'll come back on its own though, I'm sure. You loved this demon quite a lot."

"Well alright then..."

"Where is that warlock located?" Sesshomaru's question broke the silence that had fallen.

"I'm not sure, but I can locate him. I think." Safaia was unsure but was clearly willing to try anything.

"Well do so."

"Of course, Lord Sesshomaru, but I have to be within a certain amount of distance to be able to sense him. Currently, I can only sense the direction he is in."

"Then you will come with us to find him."

"Sure. I don't plan on leaving my sister anyway. Ever again."

"Hmm."

"Well, let's get going!" Kirai stood up with a smile. She looked at her two companions and gave them a look that meant 'let's go already'.

"I have to go collect a few things and then put a barrier around my home," Safaia muttered before leaving the room.

"Don't bring too many stones!" Kirai called out as the other girl disappeared.

"Are you sure you're okay with her tagging along with us? I mean, I know you don't like humans very much."

"Both of you have lived far too long to be considered humans." Sesshomaru simply responded as he drank some more of his tea.

"How long have we been alive?"

"At least 100 years. That is as long as I've known you."

"Huh? Really?" Kirai smiled at the demon but was suddenly hit with a wave of pain. Now that she was standing, she was forced to collapse to the ground. Instantly Safaia came back into the room and made her way to Kirai.

"What just happened?"

"She collapsed." Sesshomaru was, for the most part, calm, but it was clear he was slightly concerned.

While Kirai was holding her head in pain, memories began to rush back in. Specifically of Sesshomaru. She saw the two of them walking around together in a beautiful field, the two of them with Safaia having tea as they'd just been doing and more personal times, with just Sesshomaru and Kirai close together. Many more memories appeared before the girl, all leading to one conclusion; Sesshomaru and Kirai were in a romantic relationship.

Other than those memories of Sesshomaru, Kirai remembered everything else with it. All of her memories have returned now. The overload of memories caused Kirai to blackout.

Kirai woke up confused and dazed. She sat up in bed and then looked around because she didn't know who's bed she was in. As she looked around, she saw Sesshomaru in a chair staring right at her.

"Um... Are we still in Safaia's home?"

"We are."

"How long was I unconscious?"

"A day."

"Oh... My bad."

"Did you remember anything?"

"I remembered everything. Most importantly, you and I were together."

"I see..."

"I'm sorry for forgetting you. I never meant to, but Hakai throwing me down the well caused a lot of issues with my memory."

"Hmm."

"It's weird... suddenly I feel like crying..." Kirai did indeed start to cry, much to Sesshomaru's discomfort. He made no move to comfort the poor girl, just stared at her instead. "I'm sorry Sesshomaru. I know you hate it when I cry. It's just, I suddenly felt like I've arrived at home or something. Like I finally found something that was missing."

"I see..." To Kirai's surprise, Sesshomaru was now standing next to her and put his hand on her head. She assumed it was to comfort her, but it didn't do too much help. Even so, she stopped crying and looked up at the tall demon with a smile on her face.

"I've missed you." Kirai couldn't help but say that with tears in her eyes.

"I... missed you as well, Kirai." The girl couldn't help but begin to cry yet again.

"I honestly didn't think you were going to say that to me. I thought you would just go Hmm or something." Kirai was crying again but was laughing with it this time.

"Hmm." Sesshomaru's response caused even more laughter from the girl.

"Sorry to interrupt this touching moment, but we really need to head out now if we want to get to Rin and the others. We don't know what's happening with them."

"You're right. Let's get going." Kirai climbed out of bed and headed to her sister. "I'm also sorry I forgot you."

"It's alright, sis, just so long as you never forget me again. Got it?" Safaia chuckled as she spoke causing Kirai to laugh as well.

"What direction do you sense Hakai in?" Sesshomaru simply questioned as he moved out of the room. He followed the two girls as they got ready to head out. They all met up in the kitchen to begin their plans for their journey.

"South," Safaia responded after a moment of thinking.

"Then let's get going." With that, Sesshomaru left the little house and waited for the two girls outside. Safaia had two bags with her that she carried on her back. They were full of witchy witch stuff and other personal belongings she needed to bring with her.

Once all three of them were outside, Safaia put up a barrier around her home. It was so no one could get in and mess with any of her stuff. She wanted to make sure that no humans, witches or demons could ruin all she'd collected over the years. She had a lot of stones and other things that she loved dearly in there.

"Are you sure you want to leave your home?" Kirai questioned hesitantly as she watched Safaia look at her home with sadness in her eyes.

"Yes, I'm sure. I have to do this. We need to take Hakai down."

"Let's go," Sesshomaru spoke as he turned around and began to walk away from the two girls. They then had to run to catch up with him, due to him walking faster than they could. Eventually, though, they caught up to him and he decided to slow his pace for them to keep up. Kirai and Safaia both noticed him do so, but neither girl spoke a word to him about it.

"How far south do you think we're going to have to go?" Kirai suddenly questioned, breaking the air of silence around them.

"I'm not sure yet."

"I see." Kirai frowned to herself now. She wanted to keep talking, but she wasn't sure what else to say. So that left the group in silence once more. That was until Sesshomaru spoke up.

"You haven't eaten in a day. Find food now."

"Huh? Oh, now that I think about it, I am hungry."

"We should have eaten at my house, but we didn't think about it then."

"Oops, our bad. Let's go find food." With that, Kirai and Safaia ran off into the woods to collect some non-poisonous food to eat. They hoped that Sesshomaru would still be there waiting for them when they came back, and thankfully they were correct. The demon remained where he originally stood, he just seemed to be annoyed by how long it took for them to get food, which wasn't long at all. "Do you want a berry, Sesshomaru?" Kirai offered a berry to him, just for him to full-on glare at her in return.

"Wow, that face..." Safaia couldn't help but chuckle to that.

"Come now, don't glare at me like that. I know you like berries from time to time."

"I don't want any."

"Alright then." Kirai began to eat the berries herself as she returned to her sister's side. She wasn't sure why Sesshomaru was so testy currently, but she was now determined to find out.
