I Killed Her!

I soon turned to Sakuya, "Well, I think you could use an extra hand in helping out the village now, don't you?"

"I sure do." Sakuya smiled.

Loud moans came from the Tengu in the hall.

"Providing them medicine is a good place to start. Could you please fetch some items for me? There are some supplies over there I need." Sakuya requested.

"Yes!" I did a salute.

I soon waded through the crowd to get the medicine jar and spoon, went back and handed it over to Sakuya. But soon he pushed the items back to me.

"I want you to do it." Sakuya stated.

"Really?" I responded.

Sakuya gave a gentle nod.

"Here, give this one some medicine." Sakuya gestured to a Tengu woman.

I soon knelt down and scooped some of the medicine into it, "Here, I got some medicine for you."

"A human? I feel even sicker." The lady grimaced.

I soon turned my head to Sakuya with pursed lips.

"Nami is simply aiding you. She won't harm you in any way, and she never even intended to." Sakuya replied.

I held out the spoon for the woman to take and she did.

"I feel... better? Um, th-thank you I guess." The woman grumbled.

Sakuya and I spent our time giving out medicine to the Tengu. Some thanking us happily and others hesitantly.

"Alright, that's the last one." Sakuya commented. "I'm grateful, Nami. You have been quite helpful."

"It's no pro—"

Sakuya closed my lips with his own. The suddenness of made my cheeks heat up.

I soon kissed him back and closed my eyes.

I heard a roar of murmurs surround us as we kissed. But I tried to ignore them. I wasn't going to let what they think affect our relationship. 

"No, seriously, I'm grateful. It means a lot to me that you would assist my town even though some of the villagers were apprehensive to you. I will always remember how compassionate you were to me." Sakuya smiled.

I soon started tearing up, "Sakuya... I wouldn't let you do this on your own... You mean too much to me for me to do that... I am happy to help out for you."

We soon heard footsteps approaching and I turned around to see Yukio.

"Nami!" Yukio called out.

"Hey, Yukio. What's up?" I asked.

"Come with me, I think I found the house." Yukio stated.

"Okay." I nodded, "See you, angel."

"Good luck, sunshine." Sakuya smiled.

Yukio and I soon ran to the edge of town. We soon arrived at a creepy looking house.

Really? This is it?

"Karasu's not subtle, huh?" I stated, "You need a place to hide in and you choose the house that's creepy and stands out from the other houses."

Yukio gulped and had sweat flowing down his forehead while staring at the house.

"You seem scared, how about I go in first?" I suggested.

"Yes, please." Yukio nodded.

I soon grabbed hold of the door and pushed it open. Once I entered, a rotten smell immediately filled my nose and I pinched it closed. The house looked like it hadn't been taken care of in centuries. Dust was everywhere and it was dirty. The floor has splatters of some liquid which I didn't even want to know was. A dim light just barely illuminated the room.
