The room slowly lit up from darkness as the sun started rising to the heavens. The quiet, burning warmth of the sun hit her cheek and she stirred in her bed. Nanami opened her eyes and lifted herself from bed. She ended up staying with Mitsuha for the night.

"You're awake, follow me" Yonomori said.

Nanami put her shoes on and proceeded to the living corridor. She stopped suddenly when she saw mounds of supplies before her.

"I figured since you're on a journey with no supplies or dressing, I would help you." She said, smiling.

Nanami smiled graciously back and knelt down.

"Thank you." Nanami said, hoarse.

Nanami waved back to Mitsuha as the carried her bag of supplies on her back and kimono nicely dressed. Nanami looked at the road ahead, hoping she would get there in time. She looked down at her feet as she walked along the path by the river.

"I hope I can find this fallen god." Nanami said, quietly.

Nanami suddenly stiffened as she heard a rustle in the bushes behind her. She darted forward down the path but something pulled her back by her kimono.

"Mmm I sense a god. You look tasty." The demon said.

"No!" She exclaimed.

Nanami pushed herself away from him, forcing herself to fly back into the rapids of the river. She watched beneath the rapids as the demon slowly faded away. Nanami grabbed onto a log and forced her head out of the river, gasping for air in the process.

"Gaah! Air!" Nanami yelled.

She continued to drift down the river, thinking about how long until she found where she needed to be.

"Tomoe." She whispered.

"I'm worried about you."

"Thank god, You're alright."

"You are my top priority, realize that."

"I'm very grateful."

"As you wish, I'll sleep with you tonight."

"Stay by my side."

"Do you like me or not?!"

"There is no one more beautiful then this goddess."

Tears fell from Nanami's lashes as she gently closed her eyes and drifted off.

The night soon fell across the mountains and the demonic aura began glowing. Nanami opened her eyes, seeing she had washed up on the shore of the river.

"I must have dozed off awhile back." She whispered.

Nanami took her bag off and wandered into the woods. She reached up towards a branch and started breaking it off.

"I need fire wood. I also need to dry my kimono." She said, softly.

Nanami brought the branches back and set them next to a tree. She used flint and dried grass to ignite to wood.

Suddenly, Nanami was pulled down and dragged by her ankle. Nanami yelled and angrily kicked whatever was grabbing her.

She raced to her feet, waiting for the demon to show itself. Her hair was soaked, dripping down her body and suddenly stung at her ankle.

"Oh no, I'm bleeding." She thought.

She concentrated deeply into the shadows and saw a tall man with long white hair and ears. He stepped through the shadows, licking the wound she just gave him.

"No..." She gasped.

He smiled and leaned up against the tree, watching Nanami with those amethyst eyes glowing.
