toes dipping onto the grass that's endured many winters and summers, mikoto glanced around the murky forest that held no well intentions nor mercy.
"I'm hungry...", mikoto mumbled to herself.
after all, she's been sealed for way too long. and she was sure that the official gods and goddesses will be sending people to come after her soon enough.
the dark-haired woman then heard a few grunts a few feet away.
hooking her interest, mikoto leisurely headed towards the one sided brawl, with her usual red brocade — sewn with heavens' most valued silk — that trailed behind her.
the demons were seemingly kicking around a nine-tailed fox, who had many broken bones and bruises, though one would not be able to tell with how dark it's fur was.
"huh? a human?", one demon commented, to which its other two comrades had swiftly snapped their heads around.
mikoto just stood there, unaffected.
the woman's attention drifted to the demon that was so beaten up that he was on the verge of using one of his nine lives.
"doesn't smell like a human...", the other sniffed.
"either way, I haven't ate a good meal in a long time. what perfect timing!", the oni in the middle exclaimed.
"yes indeed!! forget about the stupid fox. a human's way more filling", the one on the right agreed.
mikoto glanced around, sighing, as she had no weapon on hand.
though they just seemed like regular demons; no gifted powers or such.
"how unfortunate. now I'm going to have to get my hands dirty...", she grumbled, calmly walking towards the three oni, as they prepared to pounce on the woman.
mikoto hastily grabbed one of them by their arm and swung him around, smacking the other two in the process, as she dropped the middle oni.
jumping up into the air, the woman landed a blowing stomp onto the back of the oni, breaking its spine, as it watched his two friends run off.
"w-who are...you...? how can...a mere human be that...strong?", the demon choked out.
"mikoto", the woman blankly answered, stepping off of the demon that was pulverized into the ground, as she made her way over to the nine-tailed fox.
