The sound of heels clicking against the ground was clear through the chatter of the crowd around in the square.  "Is is all of them?" A woman asked.  "Yes,  this is everyone in the town Ma'am."  The deformed creature in front of the woman bowed and she grinned.  "Good.  Wait for my word."  The woman said and turned to the large crowd.

"Now, all of you.  I'm looking for someone,  Do any of you know him?  He looks exactly like me~" She hummed.  Several shaky statements of denial echoed through the bundle of people.  "Oh?  Well that's too bad.  I really hoped you all knew.  Oh well,  can't have any witnesses can we?~" She smiled as she held a finger to her lips.

"Do it.  I'm going to save my energy for my brother."  She said as she began to walk away,  a little kid ran up to her and grabbed the bottom of her sleeve and kept punching her arm.  "Don't hurt us! We did nothing to you!"  The kid yelled, one of the other creatures began to walk over but the woman held up her hand signaling for the creature to stop.

"What's your name little one?"  She asked as she knelt down to see the child eye-to-eye.  "Sakura..." She answered,  the larger woman smiled and stood back up.  "Come with me for a second Sakura,  let's talk." She said as she took the little ones hand.  The two walked farther and farther away,  she signaled behind her back to kill the civilians.

Screams were heard and the kid began to turn her head but the woman turned it back forward.  "Now Sakura, you are very brave for facing me like that.  Especially when I threatened your townspeople."  The woman said as she kneeled down in front of the child and brushed a strand of hair from her face.

"But things like that can bring you down.  Make you turn out like me,  and being like me is a curse."  The woman said and stabbed her sharp nails through the young girls abdomen.  "I'm doing you a favor,  goodbye little one."  She said as she laid the young girl down.  "Oh wow,  you're cruel." One of creatures said and she grinned.

In a flash,  all of the other creatures were reduced to simple ribbons.  The woman sighed and continued walking. "I'll find you eventually,  Sukuna."  She said as she continued walking.
