"Y/n! To your left!"

I whirled around to face my next opponent.

I clashed swords with the Samurai. His large hat covering fore head.
I was met with dark grey eyes.

I kicked the samurai away and faced another coming up behind me.

A lot has happened in the last few days.

I began to learn how to use my vision, Itto is a pretty good teacher.

I became a lot closer to Itto's gang. Knowing where some of them are from, knowing their favorite colors all the friend stuff.

It's all new to me but Itto reassured me that I was doing good for someone who has little to no social skills.

Eli, He is from Mondstadt. He left a long time ago. He was banished from Mondstadt because his family was affiliated with the Lawrence Clan.
From what Eli says they used other Humans as slaves. He talks about how kind the slaves were to him even though he was a product of their Masters. It made me sick.
The fact that he remained oblivious for as long as he did irked me.

It made me think of Itsuki. She wasn't a slave. At least I don't think so. I'm sure my Father paid her. But she almost never left the island at all. She and the other maids took care of me throughout my life, I don't think I could picture a life without any of them. They were all special to me.
The fact that I still don't have this confirmation eats away at me. What if my Father was horrible to her? Or maybe she's only taking care of me because She has to. Itsuki was always like an older sister to me. She smiled and hugged me as if I was her own daughter.

It did make me wonder if I was a product of the same system.
I will never know. It's not like I could I ask now. She's probably looking for me.

I didn't think through the collateral damage that I caused when I jumped off the island.

Yes, I was free but I didn't tell anyone. Maybe they'll assume I fell of and didn't make it. Or they'll start looking for me.

Soon the Shogun will find me and I'll explain that I'm no threat.

I didn't do anything wrong. Yet.

These samurai I'm dealing with now are the least of my worries.

Itto huffed and puffed as we both were standing still catching our breath.

"Wooah! That sure was easier with my vision. I'm glad we got it when we did."

I nodded.

"You don't talk much do you?"

I shook my head.
"I talk a lot in my head though if that counts."

He gave a hearty laugh.

We continued to walk down the shore.

"You know Y/n, I wouldn't trust The Tenryo Commission. I know I'm Bias but I think I at least deserve to know why you're trying to talk to Kujou chicken."

I giggled at his nickname for her.

Should I tell him?
I've been shown his love for humans even if he is an Oni.

One of the many books I read while on the island detailed the Tale of the Oni, They are seen as demonic creatures. They are born when A wicked person has died.

What is telling is that there is a story about "The red Oni that cried"

The basic gist of it is, The blue Oni took the fall and became more Evil and hated so the Red Oni can be perceived as the angel of the two.
