Sango stood on the tree branch to stretch her legs. She had been sitting and using a weird looking light in a canister to read through at least one of the books about this world. She had found a lot of useful information about what plants were edible and which ones weren't. The yokai slayer laced her fingers together and raised her hands above her head with a decent amount of force, popping her back and arms in the process.

She released her grip and looked toward the horizon. Sango noticed a bright light just over the furthest hills that turned the sky above a glowing golden blue.

Sunrise. That's what she'd been waiting for. Kai still hadn't come back from wherever he had run off to yet, so it was time to look for him. Sango knelt down and placed the books and food into the bag, slung it over her shoulder along with the Hiraikotsu, and dropped to the branch below.

I have to be careful. The titans will be moving soon. She drew a length of chain from her waistline and readied it to make a leap to the next tree over. She twirled it around in one hand, and held on to it with the other. The woman released it and the chain flew across the distance. The metal wrapped around a branch of the next tree and Sango swung across after testing the grip was secure.

The trip was slow going but she eventually made it to the edge of the forest when she stopped for a break at high noon. The Sun flowed across the sky like a fish through the deep ocean, large and slow. It cast down rays of light that Sango could feel on her neck and back, the black armor she was wearing heating through as the sun beat down.

She removed her equipment and laid her back against the tree she had recently landed on. Sango opened her bag and pulled out a book and a can of meat. She gripped the can between her hands and crushed it open with the strength in her fingers. Despite always being what others would call scrawny and underweight, she was actually strong enough to rival even Inuyasha in hand to hand combat. The reason why anyone knew this was because he angered her one day, and they fought because Kagome hadn't been around at the time.

That thought aside, Sango pulled out a couple pieces of slightly smashed meat and ate it. It didn't have much of a flavor, but it was still impressive that food could come in metal cylinders like this and still be fresh after months had passed. She set the can aside after finishing off its contents and opened the book she pulled out. This one was about the geography of the landscape and the surrounding areas.

She studied the book intently to find anywhere Kai might have gone to. Sure they didn't know each other that well, but they had become friends in the short time they had known each other. Then there was the fact that he had decided to help her figure out whatever she was supposed to do here to get back, even if it meant losing his future in the military.

She hated to take that kind of opportunity from someone, but he was also allowed to make his own choices, and he chose. But where could he have gone to? He had the ODM Gear so he should be able to move around relatively freely if he kept a close watch on his amount of gas.

Boom.

Sango looked away from her book and saw something. A titan about twenty yards tall(I know they use metric in Japan, I'm just a stupid american) was walking towards her. Sango stood up, grabbed the Hiraikotsu and threw it at the titan, placing her hand on her sword in case she missed. Her primary weapon hit the mark of the nape, a little wobble in the spin to get it from both required angles. Kai had recommended that little trick.

The titan fell to the ground and started to steam away. The Hiraikotsu returned to its friend as Sango released her katana. She caught her weapon in her right hand and placed it firmly in the wood. Sango looked up in the sky, placing a hand over her eyes to avoid being blinded by the sun, she saw it was a full circle away from where it was when she stopped for rest and food. She picked up her book and replaced it in her bag, slung her things over her shoulders and once again, took off into the forest to find her friend.


Kai had been waiting for the moment to strike for sometime now. He was up in a tree with a few titans milling around below. He knew they could smell him, they always could, but that was what worried him. If they smelled him and knew he was there, than why didn't they attack? He had gone a little ways outside the forest to hunt for anything that would yield food other than canned.

Instead, he found titans walking around at night, which was not normal behaviour at all. He figured he could go off after Sango told him she was okay, but he did not expect to find this. Kai ascended to the next branch up after making the decision that the situation was to much for him to handle alone.

He got to the top of the tree and looked around for a way to escape. The Sun was coming over the horizon in the east. I should probably get back now. He activated one of the grappling hooks on the ODM Gear and swung to the next tree over. He would make it back by noon if he timed it right. In any case it would give him time to think over all the things Sango had told him.

Author's note: I am so sorry I haven't updated this one in a long time. I've been working vigorously on my RWBY stand-alone story. I decided that this story needed a bit more depth to it than it was getting, so I am now going to be putting it in there. I haven't really been working on the Invincible Destroyer series as of late, but I promise I will try to work on this one and the other one more frequently. End author's note.
