My Feudal Era Fairytale

"Be safe."
"And come back with least scratches"
The two taunted as they said goodbye​ to their protector, again. After making her stay a couple of week and brainstorming how to get to the demon's grave they gave up and left it upto Sky to figure it out.
Sky sighed as she looked down the Well. Mrs. Higurashi came in to say goodbye as well and to hand her a small lunch box. As the time passed she seemed more like her own child. Each time she came back all bruised and tired, it was always Mrs. Higurashi who came to help her and make her rest before she went to her own home. Takumi was there too. Always on his toe. Restless as to when she would return. Is she eating well? Is she safe? Did the red demon attack her again? 
Oh, how he wished he could cross too! He gave her one last hug "Be safe,ok" he said. He didn't want to let his baby sister go. He knew this time she was in a tough knot. He was furious why that Rem demon had to play with her like this. Why can't he simply tell her how or even better find the stones for her. It was he who hid it anyway.

"I'll be." Sky assured "You don't have to be a worry wart all the time." She teased.

"If you weren't planning to go where only the dead can go, I could have refrained myself. But it seems things just can't be easy and pleasant for you!" Takumi said.

"Well, you do realise if it were easy and pleasant I wouldn't be here with you right?" Sky replied. She gave a peck on his cheeks as he stood there stumped. She gave one last quick hug to her Sisters and Mrs Higurashi before jumping in.

Sky finally made it into the past. She climbed out of the Well and released a relived sigh. Oh, how she hated worrying her family back on the other side of the well.

Suddenly she tensed as she heard a chuckle.

I know I am terrible for being so lousy with time. I won't make any excuse. Being flaky is being flaky. But here's the new chapter. Love you all for still bearing with my lousy pace.
