Always And Forever ☆Book 2 Sequel to Secrets, Beauty and Bravery☆

Towa & Tensiga

The rain poured down as Bailey kneeled next to Setsuna's body. Towa stood to her feet and grabbed the hilt of tensiga. Sweat speckled her forehead as she channeled her demonic powers into the hilt. Slowly the blade extended glowing bright blue. Bailey scooted back as Towa looked down at Setsuna. Slowly the demons of the underworld came into focus. Towa furrowed her brows and cut the small demons down. Bailey and Towa watched as Setsuna's chest rose and fell. Slowly her eyes fluttered open. Towa gasped getting to her hands and knees. "Setsuna! Setsuna!" Towa cried happily. Setsuna touched her chest where her wound had been and looked around in disbelief. Bailey watched to two sisters embrace and hug each other tight. "I thought I'd lost you!" Towa cried and she tightened her grip on Setsuna. Setsuna hugged her back "For a second there you did." Bailey smiled seeing them so happy to have each other again. Moroha's eyes flew open and she sat up quickly staring at Towa and Setsuna in disbelief. "You're okay!" She yelled as she jumped at both of them tackling them to the ground. Bailey shook her head at the three girls and stood to her feet. "Come it's not safe here." She said as she waited for them to get to their feet. Bailey put her hand on Setsuna's shoulder. "Hand me a few viles from your shoulder pocket." She said to her. Setsuna reached in and pulled out three viles. Bailey bit into her wrist and filled each vile corking them and handing one to each of them. "This is for last cause only. My blood will heal you if you are injured to the point that you cant find the strength to go on anymore." The girls took the viles and put them away in their clothing for safe keeping. "Also if you die with my blood in your system you will turn into a vampire. Which means that sunlight will be your enemy until we can find a witch to make special rings for you if that happens." The girls all looked at each other and nodded that they understood. "I wont leave you again. It was foolish of me to follow Sesshomaru instead of staying with you three." Setsuna stepped forward. "That woman. Zero. He brought her back to life just to try and kill her again. Why?" Setsuna asked. "Because your mother is link to her. If Zero dies then so does Rin." Bailey explained. Towa gasped "Our Mother. She's alive?" Towa asked with pleading eyes. Bailey smiled and nodded. "Yes. She is." Bailey said smiling at them reassuringly. As they walked Bailey couldn't help but feel like someone was watching them. Even though she didnt smell anyone near them. It was getting dark and Bailey told the girls that they would camp for the night and she started to build a fire. While they sat by the fire Moroha's stomach began to growl. Bailey looked at her and nodded. "I will be back. Keep your guard up. Protect each other." Then Bailey went behind the trees and stripped down turning into her wolf form. It was silent as the girls sat there waiting for Bailey. Snapping of twigs and rustling came from the north of them and the girls were on guard. Moroha sniffed the air and smiled. She knew the scent and knew they had nothing to be afraid of. "Moroha." A husky voice called out to her. The three girls watched as the wolf demons stepped out of the bushes. "Koga! Ayame!" Moroha said happily seeing them. Koga grinned as Ayame embraced Moroha. "You know how long we've been looking for you? After hearing of Yawaragi's death." Koga said a bit irritated. Moroha rubbed the back of her head nervously. "Well about that. Yawaragi ended selling me to pay off her debt. Then after seeing her not that long ago. I.... I.... was the one who.... who killed her." Moroha said Koga sweat dropped "What? To who?" Koga was now furious hearing this when he was entrusted with Moroha. "To Jyūbei the corpse dealer." Moroha said sheepishly. "We will take care of this Jyūbei." Koga said confidently. A low deep growl erupted from the forest line. Koga and Ayama got into a fighting stance protectively in front of the three girls. Bailey watched Ayame from behind the bushes taking in a deep breath then backed down as she caught Koga's scent. Koga and Ayama's wolves growled and snarled at the bushes. Bailey let off a warning growl sending the wolves cowering behind the girls. "I cant get a scent!" Ayame yelled alarmed. Koga sweat dropped hearing his wife say that. Bailey quickly dressed and dragged the deer she had killed out of the bushes. Koga dropped his defensive position immediately. Bailey nodded to him and Koga stood there dumbfounded. "Bailey?" Koga said as if seeing a ghost. "Koga. It's been a long time." Bailey said now cutting the deer open and letting the blood drain to the forest floor. "But you died." Koga said still in disbelief. "Yeah I seem to do that a lot apparently." Bailey said then cut chucks of meat off and speared it with sticks to cook it over the fire. "What are you doing here Koga?" Bailey asked. Ayame eyeing her angrily from behind Koga. "I came for Moroha." Koga said blushing furiously. Bailey's eyebrow lifted. "No. She stays with me." Bailey said plainly. Ayame scoffed. "Who do you think you are talking to?" Ayame said as sassy as ever. Bailey speed up right next to her and took ahold of her arm. "Hush. Until you are spoken to." Bailey said with her pupils dilating. Ayame nodded and Bailey released her arm. Koga shook his head at Bailey. "I am protecting these three girls. You dont need to interfere in this. Take your woman and leave." Bailey said. Koga nodded. "Moroha I will go to Jyūbei's and settle your debt. Yawaragi was my soldier and I shouldn't have entrusted you to her." Koga said and took his leave with Ayame and their wolves. "What was that thing you did to Ayame? Since when do you know Koga?" Moroha asked. Bailey smiled. "Compulsion is something I am able to do. I can tell anyone to do anything." Moroha marveled at Bailey. "That is really cool." Bailey smiled. "I met Koga a very long time ago he helped me. But that's a story for another time. It's time to eat." Bailey said pulling the meat off the fire and handing the girls each a stick with a big chunk of meat. As they finished eating Bailey sat with her back against a tree and watched as the stars twinkled in the sky. Her heart felt heavy and her mind just kept racing. She needed to find Zero before Sesshomaru does. To save Rin. But how was she supposed to protect these girls and look for Zero at the same time?
