"Is that the last one?"

"Yeah."

"Right, load 'em onto the truck."

Hiss

The two men turned, but saw nothing.

"Wh-what was that?"

Hiss

"There it is again!"

"Bah, never mind it. Let's go!"

"Right sir."

"They have to be there latest by noon. Hurry up!"

The other man blinked, astonished. His boss was standing still, face frozen; and he wasn't finishing his sentence.

"Um… Boss?"

His boss fell forward, and landed face down. Crimson blood flowed from his neck, growing into a small pool on the ground.

The living man gasped, and started shaking in fear. He ran to the truck and grabbed his bayonet. He gulped. "Wh-whoever's there, show yourself!"

"I'm armed!"

"…Hello?"

Hiss

He turned. It came from behind him.

A/N: I'm at it again! Continuation of my first Mononoke fic, 'Inugami'. This time, it's another demon. There seems to be a sudden burst of Mononoke continuation fics... Odd. Anyway, the chapters are really short, because I don't really have time to right anymore. Quality over quantity when it comes to fics right? Haha~
