Noi: Alright everyone, gather around!
Owl Guard Noburu: ~whispering~ you think this dumbass wanna be of a commander is running his mouth again?
Owl Guard Sasuke: You'd like to think so..
Owl Guard Yumii: ~sigh~ Seriously guys? Pay attention.
Noi: As all you should know by now, the guarding of the outskirts of Kinji is HUMILIATION!
Owl Guard Noburu: ~whispering~ Here he goes..
Noi: The next time you ROOKIES, fail to kill a damn squirrel that enters the woods will be punished.
Owl Guard Sasuke: Did he just say squirrel?..
Noi: SILENCE!
[Sasuke starts to sweat]
Noi: This may seem like a joke to you all, but it won't when commander Sinji is here. So do the damn job before you all get an ass-whoopin. Return to the listed positions now!
[commander Noi of gates leaves the room]
[Silence fills the air as the loud THUD of the door closes]Yumii: Geez what's his problem.
Sasuke: He's mad obviously. [Sasuke shows a face of disgust]
Noburu: Oh c'mon! It's the rumors.
Yumii & Sasuke: What rumors?
Noburu: [He grins pervertedly] He. Didn't. Get. Laid.
Sasuke: That old guy? Hah, he would never.
Yumii: It's that attitude of his, no wonder. [She sits back]
Noburu: Yeah, apparently the lady at the bar turned him down because his-
Commander Sinji: Return to your station this instant. All three of you.
Noburu, Sasuke & Yumii: YES, SIR!
[They walk stiffly outside the door]
Commander Sinji: [he stares at them]
[Meanwhile in the office of Sinji]Soldier 1: Commander Sinji!
Sinji: What is it. [He shows an expression of annoyance]
Soldier 2: There's been an alert from the tree tower that an unidentified person has entered the wood of owls!
Sinji: Unidentified? Well can you tell what species or gender?
Soldier 1: We cannot see much but we do smell blood coming from that person.
Sinji: Blood?.. interesting. Send Majin and 20 soldiers to investigate.
Soldier 1&2: Yes, Sir!
[As Commander Sinji sends them out, he too smells the scent of blood]
Sinji: (Maybe I should've brought more, No one's ever been past here.) [He sighs]
[Behind the gates of Kojin woods]
[Majin a level class 3 soldier heads to the gate]
Majin: Tell me, you said you couldn't identify the person?
Soldier 2: Yes, sir.
Majin: That's strange. No one has ever been past here except those damn guards with them squirrels.
Soldier 3: (Of course the incident of the damn squirrels)
Majin: Open the gates Noi, we're heading to investigate.
Noi: Yea, yea I heard you.
[As the gates open, they head towards the reaching smell of blood][The soldiers and Majin come to a halt]
Majin: The smell of iron.
Soldier Noburu: What if it's just a couple of dead animals?
Majin: That's impossible. How can a animal suddenly drop dead with the scent of blood?
Soldier Yumii: [Yumii slaps Noburu's head down]
Sir Majin, what he's saying is nonsense.
Soldier Sasuke: Yeah he does that sometimes-
Majin: HALT!
[All the soldiers come to a stop while looking in front]
[As they stop, a person appears 40 feet away]
Majin: [He draws his feathered sword out] Soldiers draw your swords and move towards the person.
[The soldiers move towards the person forming a horizontal line]
Majin: [As they approach the person, Majin raises his hand up to a halt] This is the land of Kojin's, the woodlands of owls. Resist and show no resistance or there will be no mercy.
[The person with stained blood stands up]
Soldier Sasuke: (Why does that person cover their face? Whatever, we may have to kill it if there is resistance)
Soldier Yumii: (Why did our guard positions have to get switched back to here?)
Majin: Everyone stay to a halt. Speak person, why have you come here.
[The person let's go of the bear's heart]
Majin: [He faces his sword out] you'll be taken to the cells if you do not speak.
[The person takes a step foward]
Majin: Everyone pin that person down!
[All soldiers run towards the person to pin it down]
Soldier Yumii: [In a face of surprise] (A girl?)
[The girl whom is to be put down coldly stares at Majin]
Majin: (That was weird. There shouldn't be any wind yet)
[As the girl with bloody stained clothes and her face covered, she shows no resistance to being chained.]
[The soldiers head back to take the girl to the cells]Commander Sinji: [From afar] this doesn't seem right.
Majin: It moved when I stated to not resist.
Sinji: and it still did huh? Have you checked the identity?
Majin: when we got back there was a strange vibe with the soldiers. But surely one of the soldiers noticed and told me.
Sinji: and whom is that?
Majin: One of the soldiers named Yumii, she was switched back here because of Gate Noi. As well as a few others were switched.
Sinji: [He stares out from the tree tower towards the girl being taken to the cell] ...Do not take her to the cell, bring her here.
Majin: [He turns around down the stairs to bring the girl to Sinji] (I wonder why he wants me to bring her)
Sinji: [With a strange look] A mysterious girl who killed 12 bears while there's a cover on her face really is quite interesting. I'd like to her up close. Hope to you see you soon, mysterious lady.
