Story Of A Dragon And A Maiden Part 3

A month and half had passed since Shiori had been "rescued" from the dragon demon. And all the while, she thought about nothing but him. And she wondered all the while where he could be now. She had traveled for many mornings and many nights since that particular evening, where she had slept in a cave above her small village. Being kept under a close watch of the demon.1

But she had to keep shaking herself away from the idea - no matter how persistently it keep reappearing in her mind - that that demon was thinking about her. She knew she could have only been a nuisance to him. Yes, if he hadn't of been told of her connections to the elders of the village, she would have been his lunch. 2

But something inside made her keep believing, if not hopping they would somehow meet again...3

He was growning frusterated! Why was tracking down a human woman so difficult?! 5

It had been a month already, and he was sure his demon counterparts were wondering where he could be. He of course had duties to complete in due time for a role in the demon world. Many times he thought of the punnishments he would endur for slacking off. But that didn't matter to him. He wanted to find the girl. 6

Coming to a stop, he leaned upon a tree for support. He had not slept in many many moons, and being so long, had forgotten when he had last slept. Resting his eyes, he thought back to the night when he had watched her sleep. Waiting for dawn to arrive so she could flee his stairs. But he couldn't help himself...he had never been so close to a human. And he had found it interesting when she would let out little sounds, like baby squirrels when they dreamed. He loved how she had layed on her side, making her womanly curves more visible. And what he loved most about her, was her dark raven black hair, that flowed around her when she walked. And when struck just right by the sunlight, would make her hair shine. She was beautiful...but remembered what he had been raised to believe. That humans married humans, and demons mated with demons. To keep the blood pure. And to keep the demon race strong. hanyous or half bloods, were shunned. More then often, killed by demons or even scared humans not wanting to attract unwanted visitors. So even thinking about a human woman in this way was causing him to worry, if he did love her, and did eventually find her, would he make her his mate? Would they have a child? If so, it would be a hanyou...and it would be in danger of being killed. All because of decision to have fallen in love...with Shiori.
