"THAT IS WHY WE LIVE LIKE HEATHENS. LIVING IN THE ARMS OF FREEDOM AND EVERYTHING WE TOUCH IS EVIL"

DESTINY HAS ITS STRANGE WAYS to make people encounter again. Humans are so vulnerable in many ways too, let it be physically, emotionally or even through temptation. Hurting a human being was so easy for the demons, humankind didn't have many defences anyways, they were so archaic. That's why some demons liked to manipulate them. Their stupidity was entertaining.

At least, that's what Taisho thought about the relationship between demons and humans... That's it, well,  before he looked at the scene in front of him.

He couldn't believe it. And again, the pulse of curiosity was filling his senses.

He just couldn't believe it. Who was this woman again?

"Damn you! You! Bitch! Let us go! Now! I order you!"

A bunch of men were hanging upside down all together in some kind of... Web, the angles made it seem pretty uncomfortable. The seemed-to-be-leader was the one who was yelling madly at the tiny laughing figure below them. She had a sassy grin and was covered in mud and spikes and leaves.

"That should be enough for your minuscule—almost inexistent—brain to understand to not mess up with an angry woman", her voice was filled with venom.

The movements of the man become more erratic. He was more than mad.

"YOU! You're not a woman! Freaking monster! You're a yokai, a foreign, an aberration! You should be destroying your land, not ours!"

His yelling seemed indifferent to her, since she was analyzing her nails unaffected by his words. 

"Hear me out, bullshit. If you ever dare to touch a woman or a child in an inappropriate way again, I promise I'll hunt you down and kill you so slowly that you'll be begging for death to take you faster"

Tōga was surprised with such ferocity. He never saw a woman talking with so strong vocabulary, usually the human girls he saw were helpless and the yokais were too arrogant or elegant to say things of that kind. But he knew better than to trust appearance, her words —though full of hatred and venom— were nothing but a mere lie. If the humans weren't so superstitious believing she was a yokai they would have payed attention to her body language and the spark in her eyes, those were not the ones of a person who would handle something so horrible such as  killing. She was... Too innocent to take a life. It was written all over her aura and presence, her energy transmitted peace. 

Though it was funny how she managed to play with the mind and fears of those men, their expressions after listening to those void words were priceless. And she was extremely angry but he noticed her trying to contain her laugh at the moment.
