Summary:
In which the demons are summarily dispatched, and Fai and Kurogane part ways.<- Previous( You know, I'd been assuming it was the hit on the head last night that knocked you silly, but I'm starting to rethink that. )to be continued...
Next ->Author's Notes: Another reader wondered why the horse was not named either Chii, as fitting for Fai's companion, or Seul, after the white Mokona (and Kurogane's horse named after the black Mokona.) The simple reason is that I didn't want to mislead the audience into thinking that the horse was magical, a shapeshifter, or anything more than what she is: a horse.
Incidentally, Kurogane's horse is named Futsunomitama, after the legendary sword, but since he doesn't get particularly sentimental about his horses and doesn't use names that often in the first place, it never comes up in the text.
