Chapter 2

M/N was sitting on the stool they placed outside whenever someone wanted to stay outside and enjoy the peacefulness of the outdoors. She sipped the warm cup of tea in her hands, sighing after swallowing the sweet fluid.

Her kimono also kept her warm, as the chilly night surrounded her. The two children were in the main room of the house, playing and sharing this time, near the opening to enter the house. Whenever they needed help, they could just call her and she'd come.

Sipping again, while scanning the area, her eyes locked on something that made her heart stop. Slowly getting up, she set her cup down and backed away towards the door. Whatever it was, hiding in the darkness, she knew she had to hide in the house to try and avoid it.

The children seemed to notice it too, stopping in place as their eyes were wide and full of fear. The thing in hidden in the darkness suddenly sprang out from it's hiding spot, running towards them.

Although it looked human, it surely didn't act like one. Slamming the doors shut, M/N forcefully pulled Aki and Derail off the ground and, almost, to the farthest room of the front door.

Key word; almost

-

She stood at the entrance, staring into the house of where blood was splattered everywhere. "M-om?" She croaked out, taking small steps towards the limp dead corpses.

It was a terrible sight indeed, making Y/N terrified but also sorrowful. She didn't know what to do at the moment, to weep and cry or to run to somewhere safe. There was growling suddenly, and her gut instinct told her to run, which she did.

Y/N continued to run, even when it hurt. Branches slapped against her, scratching and hitting her body violently. It slightly ripped her kimono, but she didn't care. Danger was the only thing she was thinking, and she needed to get away from it.

Her heart stopped when suddenly she tripped, and tumbled on the ground.

"Be careful. There are roots sticking out from the ground."

She could hear her heart beating in her ears, as the thing behind her got closer. Y/N could see it clearly now. It was one of those "demons".

It's bared teeth and wide, blood thirsty eyes. It had red liquid on itself, and Y/N couldn't tell if it was the demons or her loved ones.

She didn't know if she was crying or not, but she didn't like the way it looks at her in such a way after it feasted on three of her loved ones. Still full of such thirstiness for blood, it hurt to know what the children were thinking as they stared at it's eyes.

When it charged Y/N immediately closed her eyes, getting ready for what might come to her. However, she didn't feel anything landing on her and physically harming. Opening an eye, she saw the body laying in front of herself, except without its head.

About to scream, a voice said, "Don't scream."

Looking to the left, which was the direction of the voice, was a man with shimmer-less, dark blue eyes that looked dull and dead. His hair was a little messy, and his skin was a pale-ish color. His haori was an odd pattern, half was a red and the other was green and yellow in an arrow-like pattern.

What hung at his side really amazed Y/N. A sheathe for a... katana was It?

"Who-"

"The nearest town is in front of me, not too far away. I suggest you go now if you don't want to die. I'm not coming to save you again." He said bluntly, sliding the sword back into it's holder.

She was still in the terrified phase, but still stood up and started to walk, then run towards the direction he said.
