"Who are you and what are you doing here all alone so late? You don't know that there are demons lurking here?..... " A man with a snake around his neck hissed as a young girl. I was at first worried he meant me, but I was safe. Who was foolish enough to go out this late. Especially a young child. As he looks down at the kid moving his black hair out of the way he gets filled disgust. Her gross grayish brown muddy hair that's all matted her small kimono. Her dirt and grass stained skin. Not to mention her putrid smell. "*sigh* kid.... So gross! Why did master Ubuyashiki even pick me to take care of you. You grimy little snot nosed rat!" A few moments of silence... I watched to see the strange man's words "Who the hell are you, kid? What's your name?" I watched as the young girl gave him a look of discust and try's to walk away into the woods.

The short man with the snake got irritated by her mannerism to ignore him, and he decided to catch up with the child, making us stop going into the woods. He grabbed her arm and asked, "Hey, where do you think you're going, kid?"i was shocked to see the little girl try to pull away... yet a surge of anger rose as he tightened his grip on your arm. "If you're not telling me where you are going, I won't let you go."he cracked "I'm going home!!"

Obanai was told that the girls family was killed and she no longer had a home I over heard the Hashira talking about it "Home? Don't make me laugh. A kid like you won't have a home by yourself, especially with that muddy look you have. Do you think you can fool me into believing that you're going home? I know that you are lying." The man was short with a striped haori and rather odd sword. To her this man was dangerous. I didn't blame her. The man's constant looks of discust and hate didn't exactly scream friendly...

she looks upset but shuts up "Exactly. I knew that you were lying to me. Do you even have somewhere to sleep at night? Or you're probably begging for food on other people's doors, right?" This man wasn't very kind to her and I didn't like it "No I- Im getting away from you. I don't care what that man with the purple marks on his face said I don't like men they're monsters!" ... what the hell is her problem. I had no idea a little girl could be so hateful. She's not a day over 7 years old!

"Kid, you have to be careful with your words. Calling me a monster was a little too much, I know there are a lot of monsters out there, but you should not judge a person based on his appearance." The man said, getting irritated by what she said, as the grimy girl tried going away from him, he grabbed your arm again
"It's not your appearance it's your gender!!!"

"What? Is it because I'm a guy? That's a stupid excuse! You're not going anywhere with that mentality — you think all men are monsters? What a child you are."

She try's to bite him and run. It's winter so the kid knows it will be hard for the man to follow her. She fails to get him to let go. He felt her sharp teeth trying to bite me. That was enough for the man to get angry and tighten his grip on her arm strongly. "If you really want to leave, you're going to have to free yourself from my grasp."

she continues to bite and brake skin

I heard her teeth dig into that man's skin dry from the cold winter. He was getting irritated by her."If you keep biting me, I will not hesitate to hurt you." This made me stop in my tracks. Hurt her? Why! Then to my shock the girl said
"Monster" he was getting angry — the young child's words were starting to get into the man's skin."Shut up! You're in no position to call me a monster after what you just did!"

"I'm defending myself from a strange man!"

"You are a real pain in the neck... "

He tightened his grip on her. To be honest, he was tired of her biting him so mercilessly. So if she really want to be free, she should consider her next attempts carefully.

she bites herself to the point of blood is spilling from her arm as she try's to take a chunk out of it

"Stop it! Calm down before I hurt you!"

He yelled at her as she tried to hurt herself. He let go of your arm and looked at her while still pissed.

"It was clear that you were hurting yourself because you really didn't want to go with me, huh?"

when he lets go she dashes for the woods "Hold on there! You can't go anywhere." He caught up to her and grabbed her arm again. "Stop running... " she was so desperate to get away but I don't see a reason why... she screams at the top of her lungs for help. What is she doing???

"What the hell! Don't scream like that! Do you want us to get eaten by demons or what? " some travelers run over he could feel the relief when he saw the travellers coming towards us, probably thinking that this will be the end of this situation. He thought to himself self, "Finally, I could be free of this kid's bullshit."
