Summary:
Hitomi wonders how a unicorn is in the middle of this forest. Why is there no other animals around it that it could have got hurt from? Why is there no human around it that might have injured it?

Van goes to the dining hall…

Hitomi looked at the animal in wonder. She never thought that they were even real and here is one, right in front of her!
"A unicorn…" She whispered again. She walked over to it carefully, it keeping it's gaze on her the full time. It was then Hitomi saw a strange liquid coming out of it. It looked like pure silver silk lying on the ground. She touched it lightly making sure that it was liquid. The unicorn neighed with annoyance. Hitomi was frightened when she saw it's horn, it seemed to be pointing to the sky. It was around two feet tall. Hitomi thought. It was all white, it didn't even look like it was dirty.
The unicorn kicked it's leg again and Hitomi went over to it. 'An arrow!' Hitomi thought. There was an arrow in the unicorn and it seemed to go very deep. Hitomi saw the silver liquid rushing out of the horses leg . 'Oh my God!' She thought. 'It's blood!'

Van was putting on his best suit, to him, for no reason at all. He tries to avoid wearing it at all costs. Not because he wants to keep it clean, but because he plain can't stand wearing it. 'It feels starched up as ever…' He thought. 'I need to find Merle…'
"Mer-"
"Here lord Van."
"How'd you do that so fast?"
"I knew you were going to have troubles with that suit! You ALWAYS do!"
"Gee, don't I feel special." Van said sarcastically.
''You should now turn around! It's the only way to get the dang collar on right!"
"Now I feel like a dog." Van said shaking his head sadly.
"Now don't worry Van! You aren't as bad as one of them!" Van turned his head around.
"A war that doesn't end for the two different origins so to speak?"
"Pretty much, it's lasted centuries!"

I wonder where she is… Jin thought while putting the dishes in the sink. 'Zat didn't bring enough water…I swear, if he doesn't bring enough water next time, it'll be HIM who does the dishes!'

Hitomi carefully went over to the unicorns cut. She started whispering words to make it less afraid of her, though she thought they seemed more for her than the unicorn. The unicorn looked at her the whole time, scaring her a little bit more. 'Calm down to Hitomi,' She thought to herself, 'It's just a different kind of horse! A different kind of horse of horse that looks like it's about two feet long and a very sharp tip! EEP!' She thought. She made sure though, that it was not apparent on the outside of her. Hitomi put her hands around the arrow but stopped herself. 'If I take the arrow out, it'll just bleed more, so then what do I do?' She thought. She then got an idea and looked at the unicorn that was under her.
"You hang in there for a while alright?" She whispered to him. The unicorn neighed in response.
"I'll take that as a yes." She whispered. She stood up and ran to the cabin.
~*~
"Hitomi! Hey! Um, what's wrong?" Jin asked.
"Jin! I-I need a towel! A very long towel that you don't need anymore! Or a sheet, either will do fine!" Hitomi gasped quickly. Jin looked at her. She though wasn't one really to ask questions. She just shrugged.
"I have a quilt in the back room that I despise, would that work?"
"Only if it's sort of large…" Hitomi said quickly, gaining her breath.
"Yeah, it is, let me go get it." Jin left the kitchen and went straight to her room and opened up another door from there that linked her and Zatera's rooms. She grabbed a quilt that had patches made of handkerchief pieces. She walked back into the kitchen through Zatera's room and handed it to Hitomi.
"Thanks!" Hitomi said quickly. Jin looked at the girl who was running ahead. 'I wonder what she's up to…' She thought. She just shook it off quickly. 'I'm not going to spy on her.' She thought. She went back into the cabin thinking that Zatera better get back to the cabin soon or 'he's very ears are going to fall to the ground!' She thought, remembering how he sometimes spoke.
