_______________________________

I could feel every single muscle in Tomoe's body screaming in pain.
I mean c'mon! 3 days with just some steamed buns and water!

I would kill for a warm meal!

Tomoe walked slowly into the 'Demon's Lair', that one old man, with a crooked face told her to stay away from that so called 'Demon's Lair'.

Everybody who went there, just gone into thin air. Just like they were sprited away from the world.

"I humbly thank you, sir. But, I have to go. Thank you for the water. I will remember your kindness, May the Gods repay them for you. " Tomoe bowed, her katana slipped a little from her waist band.

"That suicide, kid. Don't 'cha know! Everybody enter that whatsoever castle or the village, hell if I care the 'Demon's Lair', they never came back! Don't be a fool, young one. I'm warning you! It's for your own good. " He's raspy voice only made Tomoe smiled.

"I got a mission. A job. From my Master. I cannot betray my Master trust. They owned me. I'm just a humble servant. But, thank you for your kind words, sir. May the Gods bless you with abundance of joy and prosperity. " Tomoe walked away, ignoring that old man advice. He still screamed for her. Beg her not to go.

But, I rather go and dissapear. Forever. That's even better. I could join my father and my mother.

Oh, Tomoe. My heart aches for you.
You are so strong. Why you have to be 'this'. Just ran away! Far from here! You're free! Please! This IS your change! And you blow it up! NO!

I'm in the dark, hugging my both feet.

"You will die, Tomoe. IDIOT!"
______________________________

Tomoe walked through the wood, humming a lullaby that so dear the her.

Everything reminded her of her mother touches, her father strong arm wrapped around her. She kept humming and humming.

The forest suddenly covered with fog. Tomoe stopped her humming. Her hands was place on her katana. She was prepared.

Her breath became ragged, adrenaline rushed through her veins.

Suddenly a voice, a woman's voice slipped through her ears.

"Oh, my. Look at you. Are you lost? Come here, let me take you to my house. We can have a nice meal over there." She smiled. Tomoe drew her katana. "Are you a demon?"

"Me? A demon? You are so funny, little one. But, you actually smells really nice. With that skinny body and skinny little arm, you actually smells really nice... I could... I could... "

Something is very wrong! RUN TOMOE!

Tomoe took a step back, holding her katana as tight as it can be.

"I COULD EAT YOUU!! " Suddenly the woman turns into a giant serpent. Tomoe could belived what she saw. For Tomoe, killing people is easy but a giant serpent...

"I'm really going to die, huh? " She chuckled.

An arrow slashed through the air and pierces the neck of the serpent. The serpent let out a scream that so loud, Tomoe had to covered her ears.

"Got you, snake lady! I did it!"

"No, you don't!"

"Hey, quit it you two! We have to tell milord we finally kill that snake!"

She heard some people. Two, no, three people arguing.

"CURSE YOU! I WILL CURSE YOU!"

Tomoe quickly drew her katana and sliced through the neck of the giant serpent. The severed serpent head fell in front of Tomoe. And the fog started to dissapeared.

"Wow, that's really cool! That's what you called a clean cut"

"Who are you? That's not fair! That serpent lady was mine!"

"Calm down you two. Stop being such a baby!"

Three figures started to emerge. A twin, one is a boy, on is a girl. The final figure showed up. A young lady.

The adrenaline just hits Tomoe hard. She prepared to kill those three figures.

"So, you are the one who took interest in our lord?" She asked.

"Calm down, miss. We are not your enemy." She continued.

Tomoe took a step back, "How should I believe you words?"

She smiled, "Because... You are seeking for our Lord. He's already expecting you. You are Tomoe, right?"

"HOW DO YOU KNOW WHO I AM?" Tomoe screamed.

"A little birdie told me, you moron" The boy chuckled.

"Stop it, Sho! That's not how you greet milord's guest."

Guest? Me? Tomoe?

"Oh, I almost forgot." The lady smiled.

"This brats. They are Sho and Shina. They are my disciples. The one who shot the arrow was Shina." The lady patted the girl's head gently.

Tomoe started to loosen up. "Explain to me. How do you know me? And how do your Master know I was coming?" She growled.

The lady's Brown eyes started to glimmered, "Milord has his own ways to find a lose soul like you, Tomoe."

Tomoe silenced. "Lost soul?"

"Every soul has a... How do you explain it... Hmmm... Has an inner voice. Our Lord can reaches out for sound of the lost souls. Mend them back until those souls found their home." The lady smiled at Tomoe.

"Trust me, miss. Milord would be delighted to have you in his castle."

Tomoe turned silence again. She trusted the Lady.
