K/N: So she'll finally-?

A/N: Yes, Kogasa - now stop almost spoiling things!

K/N: Sorry...

Sunset, Moriya shrine, Suwako's PoV:

...That girl is still in there...?

The day prior, Sanae had a little... run-in with the lunar rabbit. And when I say run-in, I mean that Sanae tried to exterminate her. Well, that rabbit wasn't about to let herself be killed off, so she used her best defense mechanism.

And Sanae has been unconcious ever since, while her apparant savior has been mostly tight-lipped...

However, for that whole time, the one who seemed to have saved her has been by her side. I don't know what's going through that Karakasa's head, but Kogasa has never left her side... She hasn't even tried to surprise anyone in an attempt for food...

It's not my place to tell her off, but... Isn't she afraid? Sanae constantly has made an effort to end her life, even if she never did finish her off. She always left the broken body of the umbrella in a safe location so that she could regenerate, instead of doing what she does to every other youkai she manages to subdue.

At the thought of the exact specifics, I couldn't help but to feel a slight chill run down my spine.

From the other room I heard something enough to make my heart skip a beat, as I had been distracted by my concern for the youkai, instead of my worry as to if Sanae would be okay.

Kogasa's PoV:

"...Kogasa...?" Upon hearing the voice of the one I fear most, I couldn't help but to tense up.

I looked down at Sanae, who was lacking that usual sadistic grin I was so used to - she actually seemed confused, instead. "Y-y-yes, Sanae?" I couldn't help the tremble of my voice. Why had I stayed? I could have left, after bringing her here.

Heck, why didn't I just leave her in the forest? I could have left her to be eaten by youkai...

"...Where... where is Sanae...? What happened to her...?" Sanae had a worried expression on her face that looked... almost cute. If it wasn't Sanae, I'd say she looked addora- Wait, did she just reffer to herself in the third person?

"W-well..." I laughed nervously a bit, and continued. "You're Sanae, and I brought you back to your home..."

Sanae sat up, and tilted her head. "Sanae already knows that Sanae is Sanae. But... why is Kogasa watching over Sanae?"

"I... What do you mean?" Was it wrong of me to? Was she... was she going to exterminate me for real, for an act of kindness, of all things...?

"Well... Sanae is scary, isn't she...? A-aren't you afraid of her...?" Player two seemed a bit distraut by the whole thing.

I pulled her into a hug, not wanting to see that look on her face. Why did I hug her? I should be running from her, before she can bring out that knife of hers!

That impossibly sharp, roughly edged, knife...

"I'm not." That's a lie; I'm terrified.

Sanae returned the embrace, not sure if she should say that I'm shaking. "...Sanae thinks you're a terrible, terrible liar, Kogasa..."

I flinched at the completely correct accusation. How did she know?

I gulped hard enough that it had enough that were I human, my uvula would have been ripped clean off. "I... I'm sorry, Sanae... It's just... well, you've done so much to me before..." I was surprised to find her ruffling my hair, upon confessing this. "...S-sanae...?"

"Sanae won't do that anymore; she's a good girl now!" Just like that? She's not going to hunt down youkai, such as my self, like a psychopath? Hell, not like a psychopath - she is a psychopath...

...Well, was a psychopath, if I can trust her word...

"Are you... are you sure?" Why did I have to ask that? Am I seriously trying to change her mind?!

Sanae made a thoughtful expression. "Now that you mention it..." As soon as she saw my face pale, she gave me a teasing grin. "Sanae was just kidding, Kogasa! Eheh, jeez, you're so easy to fool..."

I let out a sigh of relief at that. So helping her worked out after all, huh? That's good... I'm glad...

The day before, early night, Bamboo Forest of the Lost, Sanae's PoV:

Ahh, that was a good one...

I had just finished my most recent extermination, and let out a happy little sigh. His love was so tasty...

"Ahh! Another bamboo shoot!" In the distance a certain rabbit was busy gathering food for the week, and had collected a great many shoots, weighting in at more than her entire body in total.

I grinned hungrily, and changed course, heading for the Bamboo Forest. Looks like I'd get some more tasty, tasty love, and some rabbit meat, too!

Lady Yasaka does enjoy her rabbit meat...

The ears upon the head of the lunar rabbit twitched in my direction. "Ehh? Who's there?" She began to pivot her ears like satalite dishes, and listened closely. She heard a giggle behind her, and shot forward, just in time to avoid my blade.

I couldn't help but grin at her. "Hey, bunny, will you be my lover~?"

The rabbit blushed at the sudden question, and then paled at the worn, yet sharped kitchen knife in my hand.

The knife that was stained red with blood.

As she was silent, I continued. "I would love eat the love in your chest; may I exterminate you?"

"W-w-what?!" The rabbit youkai backed away. "B-but I'm doing nothing wrong! I never have! I was just gathering food, a-and..." She drifted off as I slowly began to walk towards her.

She began to back-track faster.

I kept my steady pace, un-nerving the poor girl.

She spun around and began to run into the dark forest.

And I simply walked after her, as I knew she would miraculously fall down.

And fall she did, followed by flipping around, and began to crawl away, still facing me, my knife glinting in the light of the nearly full moon.

The rabbit quivered, and her back eventually met a dense section of bamboo, halting her retreat.

Eventually, I had reached her, and rose my knife into the air with a wide grin. "Love me lots, okay?"

Before I could plunge my knife into her soft yet tough flesh, her red eyes flared briliantly, and the world quickly went crazy.

The ground looked like it was trying to eat me, so I left it, before it could bite my legs off.

The bamboo that the forest was so well known for looked like they were snakes, who were trying to constrict me.

And in my insanity, they were trying to constrict me.

First one coiled around my knife hand, and then my other hand, followed by my ankles, waist, and finally my throat.

Little did I know, that she had simply begun to choke me out, as I was likely to continue my persuit upon regaining conciousness.

She had to fight for survival.

As my world darkened, I saw a figure with a purple umbrella land behind her, and whack her over the head, causing the two of us to back-out.

I know not that I had been saved by the one I was both the highest and lowest threat to, nor do I remember it very well.

While I regularly stabbed kogasa to the point of being near death for a youkai, I never would kill her. Would I ever know why?

Sanae doesn't know, but she will never be a bad girl ever again...
