Okay, recap. Shina and Zan were at the inn when Shina grabbed Zans hand and pulled him out of the city.
Chapter 2
Once they were out of the city they stopped to take a rest. "I can't believe they actually followed us," Zan said.
"Yeah. They normally don't go into towns," Shina agreed. They were breathing hard from running so much and Shina sat down.
"We need to keep going," Zan said "if they're in the city they won't be too far behind us."
"Okay, lets go," Shina said getting back up. They traveled on the road until sunset then they veered off the path into the woods. After travel for about a mile Shina stopped them, "we should change back now. We'll be stronger at night."
"Okay," Zan said as he began changing back into a brown kitsune and Shina a white one. They went up into the trees and continued traveling deeper into the forest atop the tree branches. At mid night they stopped and ate.
They were just about to leave when Shina heard some thing not too far away. "What was that?" She said, her ears pricking with interest.
"I don't know," Zan replied looking down out of the tree he was siting in. when Shina finally looked down she saw a young fox demon kit, barely out of his first decade.
He's so young, she thought, he's out here all by himself? He doesn't even have his second tail yet! Zan silently came over to the branch that she was.
"He doesn't look like much of a threat," Zan said. Suddenly there was a loud crack! And the branch beneath them broke and they fell to the ground right next to the fox child.
"Ah!" he screamed as they hit the ground with a thud. For a second the two kitsunes lay motionless and the little fox went to investigate. Then Shina moved her legs and moved into a sitting position. The fox kit ran a few feet away until she stopped moving. "Wh -who're you?" he asked nervously as Zan sat up next to his sister.
"Oh. Hello. I'm Shina and this is my older brother; Zan," She said, "what's your name?"
"I – I'm Shippo." He replied, a little less nervous after seeing they were kitsunes like him.
