...
The trail guide yelped slightly as one of the trekkers leaned against an old tree for support. They were a tired bunch, hot and sweaty from walking through the terrain all day.
“Get off! Get off! That tree is sacred!”
The trekker paused, raising an eyebrow at the steadily turning purple trail guide, and questioned,
“Why?”
The trail guide turned another shade of purple as the trekker watched interestedly. He let out a frustrated sigh.
“Someone died there.” The trail guide snapped dismissively.
The other trekkers were suddenly more interested. Death had that effect on people who had been touched by it. Plus they were bored. Climbing mountains and through the tundra was not as fun as it looked.
“Really?” One asked quizzically. “Then where’s the grave?”
“It’s the tree, you fools!”
“Eh?”
The trail guide let out an impatient shriek and yanked out some of his hair. He pointed one finger to the tree while jumping up and down and yelled,
“The tree grew from where the woman died, you unworthy idiots! She died because she wanted to save her beloved, a cruel and particularly vicious Taiyoukai!”
Silence.
“Um, Mr. Jarken, are you sure you don’t want to sit down?” A young girl ventured cautiously. A few trekkers snickered at this.
“There’s no such thing as youkai.” A young man boasted. “They’re just stories to tell the young ones at bedtime.” The other trekkers let out a quiet murmur of agreements.
“Oh really?” The trail guide Jarken sneered. “Well than let me tell you a story children…about a youkai woman imprisoned by an evil, and a Taiyoukai imprisoned by his memories…”
The trekkers, though disbelieving, listened eagerly as Jarken told the tale.
“ –And then the Taiyoukai realized that he could not save her. Not even with his life-giving fang. Forever did she haunt him until one day he too perished. They say, that when the moon is-“
“OUCH!” Screeched a girl, completely ruining the ghastly mood. The trailers blinked to life and realized it was near dusk and the bugs comprehended that fresh human blood was around.
“Err, lets go…” Jarken said hastily eyeing the large bugs appearing. Relieved everyone followed, still talking about the tragic ‘myth’.
“But it’s not myth is it Mr. Jarken,” The young woman drawled finally still leaning on the sacred tree, “It’s legend.”
Jarken paused. “I suppose.” He huffed. “Now come, unless you want the bugs to dine on your pretty face.” He tottered away leading the rest of the trekkers.
But the young woman didn’t move. Bugs didn’t really bother her. Bugs tended not to bother full-grown youkai.
“Kagura.”
She looked over to where her mate stood, white hair billowing in the breeze. Golden eyes watching her as he waited for her to catch up so they could follow the bunch of lumbering humans.
“Are you coming?” He stared at her carefully judging her mood from her manner. She sighed then red eyes closing briefly before she walked up to him.
“The last time we were here you asked me if I were going.” She stated running her hand up his left arm. He raised an eyebrow at her. She was moody. That was bad. Well for him at least…
“If you’re telling me that miserable excuse for Jaken actually got to you, perhaps you needed this vacation more than I first thought…”
Kagura whacked him lightly on the chest. “Shut it.” He smirked lightly deciding it was past time to get her back into her senses.
“Don’t hurt you’re beloved now, you risked your life for me after all…”
To his delight Kagura went slightly pink. “Shut up! We both know that story was screwed up. You died in it remember…” She replied forcefully tilting her face away from his.
“Also it seems that I couldn’t revive you…” He commented dryly. She gazed up at him quirking an eyebrow and pouting slightly,
“Couldn’t or wouldn’t?” She asked slyly lacing her fingers through his. He didn’t reply thinking of the day she came into his life.
“By all rights you should be dead.” He muttered bending down suddenly to capture her lips. “But you are with me…and that truly is a thing of legend.”
