Chapter Seven: To Kyoto and Back Again
Misao looked around, but she couldn't see anyone, so where was that voice coming from?
Shinya moved to another spot, as the one they previously were was no occupied with more knifes. She glared at the bush in front of them.
"Why don't you come out? I know your location already," Shinya said to the voice and suddenly about ten men came from around them
"Hmmm.you're a feisty one aren't you? No problem as long as you hand over the money and food you've got" A tall man said as they surrounded them
"The money and food I have are to feed the child, I will not be giving them to greedy men like yourselves." Shinya said in a threatening voice.
"Well, you'll have to find another way to provide her with food, now hand over the money!" Another man shouted as he moved to grab her.
Misao screamed and the next second the men was on the floor his air knocked out of him.
"Why you! We tried the easy way, if that won't work we'll take it forcefully! Get her," The leader shouted.
Shinya dodged some more knifes and jumped up on a tall tree, "Stay here Misao and be very quiet" Shinya said as she place Misao, their food and money on a tall branch.
"Oka-san?" Misao whispered as Shinya jumped back down.
"Are you going to fight us, lady?"
"We'll have to hurt you if you do"
Shinya's eyes flashed as they continued to taunt her, "Shut up you bunch of idiots"
The men looked at her and lunged; not bothering with any more warnings, and this was exactly what Shinya wanted.
Their leader watched in fear as he saw the woman, who seemed defenceless moments before, disappear and his men start falling one by one, dead on the ground. Minutes later the woman appeared again, a small sword on her hand dripping with blood.
"Idiots, you shouldn't have attacked me" Was the only thing she said before she turned to the leader.
"You may have beaten them, but lets see how you deal with me!" The leader shouted as he took out a long sword.
Shinya didn't even bother with him and put her small sword away, I just don't like to use swords, they just don't feel right Shinya thought as she took out her Hitami.
The leader charged at her, much better than his men, telling Shinya that he, at least, new some Kenjutsu. Shinya dodges three of his following attacks and kicked him in the stomach, the men tried yet again to hit her but she jumped, and using the impulse she got attacked the man from above.
Two seconds later blood spilled everywhere and Shinya stood facing ten dead bodies as she put her Hitami away.
'I won't have enough flowers for all of them' She thought as she went to get Misao who was still on the tree.
She realised how much she had scared Misao when she noticed how the young girl shifted away from her as she made to get her. The girl looked at her and Shinya instantly recognised fear in her eyes, she had seen it many times on her victims before they died.
"Misao." Shinya said but the young girl only shifted further away. Shinya signed, frankly, irritated.
She grabbed Misao in a quick movement making the girl start struggling and screaming.
"Misao, stop acting like I am about to kill you too. I only did that because they attacked me first, and they were going to robs us and later kills us too." Shinya explained as she made her way to a nearby bush and plucked some flowers.
Misao didn't seem to hear her though, but she noticed that she began to pick flowers and asked, "Why.why are you doing that?"
"I need flowers to put on their dead bodies.for respect to their souls." Shinya explained as she picked the last one in the bush, counting them she noticed that she really wouldn't have enough flowers and frowned.
To Misao it seemed as if that simple explanation chased away any and every thought she might have had about Shinya being a bad person.

That was about nine years ago . . .
Had it been that long since she became and Oni? For it certainly didn't seem so. But here she was - most of the Oniwabanshuu dismantled due to the New Meiji era, and now Misao was going to leave as well. . .
She didn't want to admit how much she had gotten used to the little girl - after all, she had been like a mother to her. She didn't really want to leave Misao there with Okina, but deep down she new it was the right thing to do. It would be much safer here with them, than with us, with most of the officials looking for them and all.
"Oka-san! Good-night!" Shinya turned just in time to catch a bouncing Misao in her arms, and for the first time in her life, Shinya felt a strange tightness in her throat and a sudden wetness in her eyes.
No! She wouldn't cry, Misao would worry, and an Oni can't demonstrate that many emotions. . .she wouldn't cry. . .she never cried. . . but even trough her persistent thinking, that night, a few stray tears leapt from Shinya's eyes - for it would be some many years until they would eventually meet again.
