"Come again!" An all too familiar voice spoke, belonging to the lunar rabbit working under her master's orders, same that bowed at another customer that left Eintei satisfied.

The rabbit sighed once they were out of sight, reaching to scratch the back of her head and keeping an eye closed, displaying the tiredness she felt after being on duty all day. "Hasn't the princess come back yet?" Asked the owner of Eintei, Eirin, as she accommodated some of her medicine on shelves nearby, expecting an answer from the moon rabbit- that is, Reisen. "No sign of her yet, it's the longest she's taken by far." Replied Reisen with her ears down, lowered in thought as she came to realize that the certain princess hadn't come back within her usual time.

It wasn't the first time she's taken that long in her outings, that day in particular felt strange whatsoever. Luckily for the two, the sound of the door swinging open and the familiar figure of the black haired woman came in through the door, calling out in a sing-song tone of voice to her allies. "I'm baaack~" As soon as her voice spread through the room, Eirin was quick to answer with a scold. "Princess Kaguya, what happened out there? Weren't you just gonna meet with Mokou and be back?" Upon closer inspection, the woman found something different about her, not similar to when she went out to have fun with Mokou, but something was new about her, she just couldn't place her finger on it...

It was then when Reisen noticed something unusual on her, pointing it out with her words. "Princess...why do you have a bandaid on your hand?" The supposedly immortal princess looked down to her hand, displaying a silly smile as she walked to another side of the room. "I just fell and got knocked unconscious by a rock, don't worry about me~, i'll be in my room now~" "But princess! You're immo-!" Too little too late, Eirin tried calling out for her only to get the sound of Kaguya slamming the sliding door to her room close. It left Eirin to wonder just what happened, for her to have a bandaid while she can simply regenerate in a matter of minutes...

"Something's definitely up..." She thought out loud, just what exactly?

1 Hour Ago - Bamboo Forest of the Lost

Wandering through the bamboo forest was a lonesome figure armed with a backpack and a sheathed blade attached to his waist, the figure of a man walking along the trail without an apparent sense of direction of what he was doing, except for his resolve to keep moving forward into whatever direction he meant to flee. It was then when he found on the ground the beaten-up shape of a woman, burns all over her body and clothes that had holes here and there due to whatever hit her.

She seemed unconscious at first, her injuries were light and only on the surface, her state didn't leave room for no one normal to not be concerned. Still, regardless of that, the man approached her as if it was the most normal thing in the world and kneeled down beside her, poking her cheek a few times to get a reaction. "Had another fight with her, Kaguya?" He calmly asked, as a response getting a giggle from the 'unconscious' princess that didn't bother hiding the fact she was awake the whole time. "Aww~, i thought you'd finally do it." She admitted, opening an eye to look at him. "Isn't it normal for a princess to be awoken from their dream with a kiss from their prince~?"
