I run back and load an arrow. I have to save them; it's my fault there under attack. I aim at the troll guy I saw a couple of days back. Just as I was about to let my arrow fly, I caught something out of the corner of my eye. It was the wife of that rice field worker. She was waving her arms and was trying to tell me to get out of here. I didn't like the idea. I took a couple more steps forward; she started screaming for me to run. I growled and run west again. As I'm running, I feel horrible and guilty. I could have saved them, all of them. I can still hear their cries. I put my hands over my ears. It's too much for me to handle! My whole life, people have been risking their lives for me. Why do they? Why should they. I'm just like any other person in this world. Why am I different? I just have blonde hair and blue eyes. No one in Japan has that but that's it. It's just my looks. There's nothing different with my soul, nothing special. Then why? WHY?! As I'm thinking, I didn't notice that troll and Daihatsu chasing me, until I heard the troll screaming at me thought my hands. I put my hands down and look behind me. They caught up to me! I think.
"STOP RIGHT THERE" the troll roars at me. Luckily, I had an arrow already loaded. I twist back and aim for his head and let go. Right though his left eye. He stumbles forward and lands on his face. He doesn't get back up, but the Daihatsu was hot on my tail. I run as hard as I can but I know it's in vain. It's has stamina, and I don't. He can go twice as long as I can. If I could climb a tree…. no. That won't work. If I could get up in a tree, the others will catch up, then what? One could climb up the tree and push me down and… I can't think of what they would do next. Would I end up like that little girl? Who knows? But I don't want to think about it. I just have to make up a plan to get to Inuyasha and the others. Just then, I feel something on my leg. I look down to meet the Daihatsu eyes. He's about to break my leg with those ragged teeth. I have good enough sense to punch him in the mouth. He howls as he stumbles to the ground. I fumble but regain my feet. I start for north. Maybe I can get them off course then circle my way back west. That way I can confuse the enemy and make my way back to Kaede's village. But will it work? There not the brightest demons I have encountered so far but the plan maybe simple enough that they might figure it out. But what else can I do at this point! Right now, there probably still feeding on the corpses of the villagers. They will gain staining power and I will be at a lost. If only I had somebody watching my back, like Inuyasha. That would be of help right now, give me some comfort, but I'm on my own. I don't even know if I'm going on the right direction. I just have to run. But i'm running alone.
