Ayaka cried out again. "My arm! You're going to break it!" Tears fell from her eyes as she clawed at the hand holding her. She tried too biting him, anything to get free.
Faster now vines form the plants flew at Kovetani from behind, Cho desperately wanted her child back. She was getting fed up, she now ran at Koventani, picking a weed as she went. The weed twisted into a sharp blade in her hand made out of the twisted plant.
Mara looked up at Gouki she was curious, and she wanted to ask him, but she knew he would be worried about the unconscious female.

Gouki smiled at Mara as he ruffled her hair.
"Its gonna be okay squirt. Sakura is just tired. It has been a pretty long day. What do you say we make camp under the fruit tree so we have breakfast in the morning too?" Gouki said trying to avoid the subject about that thing which made them all unique.

Sakura would wake up for a time as she seemed to second that note. She managed to pull what energy she had to sit up then stand up. It wouldn’t last too long as she began to fall down again. She’d get right up again till at the tree finally resting and out of breathe. She wasn’t even attack by the darkness again. She expected it too sometimes soon.

Mara watched Gouki, "That sounds good Gouki-chan, but that's not what I asekd." Mara said looking up at him expectantly.

Kovetani eyes squinted as she tried to bring him down. She gasps as the the strange darkness encloses around him. She tried using the child as a shield, but gets hit in the knee too soon for that, she screams in pain. "You...!" She clenches her teeth. Fed up with the child, she roughly threw her to the ground, opposite of her mother. Bleeding, she turns to Navata, Navata is focusing on the woman who just made herself a weapon. Kovetani, still very fast, blood spews from her legs as she runs to stand beside Navata. "I'm going to kill you, you vile little insect!" She spats at him.
Yume runs into the clearing along side the red haired man. Upon seeing the sight she feels hesitant, but confidence soon comes back to when she sees the bleeding Kovetani.
"Yume! Put a shield around them! Now!" Kovetani screeches upon seeing Yume. So sure now that they're going to win.
Navata, reading Yume's mind, turns to Kovetani, "She is not on our side. We must retreat, there are too many of them now. We will die here if we do not leave."
Kovetani, points at the man and then further behind the man at Yume. She just now realizes Yume brought someone along with her, but doesn't care, taking heed of what Navata says. "I'll kill you both! I swear it. No one harms me and lives a nice long life!"
Navata, using quite a bit of energy, directs her palms at the ground and spits fire, the flame conbusts into a high wall and winds around the camp as they both dash off as quickly as they both possibly can.
Yume went to make a shield around her former alliance, but Kovetani using what strength she had left, who had guessed this move from her sent a bolt of pain to her, making her unable to do so. The flame stops abruptly and they're gone. "B*tches!!!"

Ayaka hit the ground hard, whimpering, and then she lay quiet and still.
"Ayaka!" Cho shouted as she ran to her child. She fell to her knees holding the child tightly to herself. "Ayaka, Ayaka, I'm so sorry!" She sobbed frantically stroking the child's head. "She's gone." the frantic mother said not noticing that her daughter's chest was still moving. She was just unconscious.

Suiyobi dashed into the scene, far to late to take any action. Before him, the mutated, demonic forms of two women disappeared into a blaze. "Are these your friends?" he placed a hand on Yume's shoulder, before taking notice of the others.

"So I suppose you will want to know the answer about the darkness from me huh sis." Gouki asked sighing. "I had hoped that I would not have to talk to you about this subject. Are you really sure you want to hear my views on it?"

Sakura finally caught her breath as she sat there under the tree. Eventually her eyes grew heavy again, her ability to stay awake becoming lost. Her clothing was still wet which caused her to sneeze suddenly. It actually caused her to sneeze a few times as she had not dried off at all since the last attack by the darkness. She was getting a chill, but ignored it and just tried to get some sleep.

Looking over at Sakura Mara asked Gouki, "Can we start up a camp fire for her, and then will you tell me the story of the dearkness?" The child asked curiously. Gouki, I want to hear about the darkness! Does it know me, this darkness? How has it affected miss Sakura-chan?"

Gouki nodded and helped gather up tinder and wood. They woi;d pile them together just off the path. Being so close to the path left them open to travelers but also allowed them the liberty of escaping easily if monsters attacked.
Gouki took two small rocks from his pockets and struck them against each other to create a spark that would strike the tinder. With some work the spark flared into an open fire that everyone could gather about.
Gouki helped bring Sakura close enough to the fire to warm her and dry her clothes.
Once around the fire Gouki sighed again and looked at Mara.
"Well Mara...the darkness is something that affected all of us in one way or another some years ago. From how I understand it it affects everyone differently. Some people find refuge from the darkness through meditation and others through focuses as Sakura is looking for but there is the rare person that can resist the darkness through sheer will." Gouki said looking into the fire.
"I'm not sure if you are affected negatively by the darkness or not because it was not long ago that I adopted you as my little sister. Do you understand it any better now sis?" Gouki asked looking back at Mara.

Sakura at first didn’t notice she was moved till she began to dry off. She heard then Gouki talking. The chill she had was beginning to ease off, but she still was sneezing. She had seemed to catch a minor cold as she laid by the fire drying off.
She’d open her eyes as she laid there. Her body was clean of dirt luckily. She’d manage get up for a few moments to get a fruit then sit back down. She’d eat the fruit to gain some lost energy. She’d find that she would not be attacked by the darkness this time as she sighed happily by this. She still needed her headdress however as she wondered whatever happened to the temple that held it.
It was moved when she left it running for her life. Her eyes stared at the fire as she sat there.

Kyoji sneered as the two attackers fled. "I don't often take threats from the one that runs!" He called to them. The blood around him was sucked up into him and he gasped and backed away from it clumsily sheathed Muramasa. He got to his knees and panted, not from exhaustion, he had been through much worse and longer battles in his youth, but from restraining himself from succumbing to a blood craze. He finally gained control of himself and ran over to Cho and Ayaka. He knelt down next to Ayaka and checked her pulse and laid his eat on her chest. She was simply unconcious. He got up and and put his hand gently on Cho's shoulders. "Its alright! She's just unconscious. She was scared and in a lot of pain and passed out! She'll be fine with rest." He said to her soothingly, calmingly. The darkness seemed to dissipate as Kyoji was no longer controlling it, and the area seemed to brighten. He went to the fire and manage to get it to restart by smashing the butt of his scabbard against a large stone and creating large sparks.

Mara nodded. "Yes Gouki, I understand." she said watching Sakura. "So that is what hurts her so, and keeps her weak?" Mara wanted to help Sakura now more than anything. She looked up at her brother, "Are you affected by the darkness?" She asked him.
Cho quieted, her warm tears running into Ayaka's hair. "I'm so glad." she said into her daughter's hair. "I'm so thankful she's alright." She looked up at Kyoji with red eyes, "And than you so much for helping us." Cho got to her feet, still carrying Ayaka. She wrapped one arm around him and held him for a silent moment. "Thank you so much." she said stepping back to attend to her daughter.

"I was doing my job." He said with a smile, slightly surprised, but not fazed. "It's what I'm good at." He smiled weakly. He felt better than he had ever had accomplishing any mission in his past. Something about helping Cho and Ayaka, felt better than even the most fulfilling battle he had ever fought in.
