KOMOREBI

The Unconscious Girl

Mamoru, the demon boy that has eyes of the color of smoldering embers, purple light skin, and spiky white hair, trudged through the dense forest, his eyes scanning the ground for any sign of resources. He had been wandering for hours, and the sun was beginning to set. He knew he needed to find something soon, or he would be forced to spend the night in the forest without eating dinner.

As he walked, he only found little wood to start a campfire. He brought the wood he found to camp and headed out again to see if he could catch some food to eat. It was getting darker as the sun descended.

"Dammit, at this rate, we will have dinner tonight." Mamoru said as he was frustrated as he was getting closer to the river.

As he was walking in the direction of the river near the end of the forest, he heard a faint sound in the distance. It sounded like someone was calling for help. Mamoru followed the sound until he came to a cliff at the edge of the forest. There, he saw a human girl lying unconscious on the ground.

She has blonde short hair. The length of the hair is about her neck. She was wearing a black choker and a pink dress. She wasn't wearing anything to cover her feet.
Mamoru hesitated for a moment. He knows that after the war, humans and demons and humans don't have the best relationship. Humans are trouble, and he doesn't want to deal with it. He just wanted to live in peace, but he knew he couldn’t leave her there, so he picked her up and carried her back to his camp.

As he arrived, Jin, Mamoru’s sarcastic companion, was waiting for him when he arrived. “What’s this?” he said, eyeing the girl suspiciously. “You brought a human here? And to top it all up, a girl?”

Jin was just another human who abandoned civilization because he didn't want to be in a world where, after the war, the promise of peace and a life in harmony was nothing but a lie. Instead there is more war, anarchy and tyranny.
Jin has curly blue hair, has a round face, and he always wears an orange bandana on his head. He is very sarcastic but isn't a bad person. He never questioned Mamoru for being a demon. He enjoys Mamoru’s company, and they make a great team splitting work.

Mamoru nodded. “She was unconscious. I couldn’t just leave her there.”

Jin rolled his eyes. “Well, you’re going to have to take care of her. I’m not going to do it.”

Mamoru knew that Jin didn’t mean that Jin was a good person, but he was a very honest and sarcastic person. He had expected Jin to be angry that he had brought a human to their camp. But Jin seemed more annoyed than anything else.

As they started the campfire, the sun was completely gone, and the night began with a full moon, as he was sitting by the fire with the girl, then she suddenly sat up and looked around. “Where am I?” she asked, her voice groggy.

Mamoru didn't look up and reply. “You’re safe,” he said. “You’re with me and Jin.”

The girl looked confused. “Who are you?” she asked.

"I'm Jin, and this fool is mamoru. He found you unconscious on the cliff. Any idea why you were there alone in a dangerous place such as this? You are lucky this guy found you. " Jin replies with an annoyed expression.

The girl started to tear up as she was confused and a lot of things were on her mind. She was lost, confused and she didn't have any idea how she got there all she remembered was her name.

"My name is Makoto, I don't remember anything." Makoto replied, drying her tears.

Mamoru’s heart sank. He realized that Makoto had lost her memory. He understood her situation because he himself couldn't remember anything before he met Jin.

Over the next few days, Mamoru took care of the girl, who he learned was named Makoto. She didn’t remember anything about how she had ended up on the cliff, and Mamoru didn’t press her for details. He was just relieved that she was fine, although she didn't have any memories and that she didn’t seem to be bothered that he was a demon.

As the days passed, Mamoru began to realize that Makoto was beginning to be too clingy with him. He knew that it was dangerous to get too close to a human, but he didn’t know what to do.
