The ugliest demon I've ever seen is the one who's currently rooting through my supplies, which I have spread around my fire. It's also one of the largest one I've ever seen. As its horrible odor is blown my way by the breeze, I have to force myself to keep from gagging. Because if I make a sound, the demon will find me. Yes, Kaede, a priestess, is hiding from a demon. I didn't even have the decency to find a good hiding place: I'm simply crouched behind a boulder which happened to be nearby the place I was bedding down for the night. In my defense, the demon surprised me. I barely had time to leap behind the rock, let alone grab any of my few possessions.
This leaves me with a bit of a problem. I don't have my bow, because it's currently being stepped on by a demon that's at least twelve feet tall. If I try to run out and grab it, I'll probably be killed. And even if I could somehow get hold of my bow and arrows, my powers are nowhere near strong enough to kill a demon that size.
I close my eyes. Think, Kaede, think! But after several more minutes of listening to that huge lump of a demon cram my remaining food down his throat, I have to admit that there's nothing that I can do. This demon can do whatever he wants, and I'm powerless to stop him. As that realization hits me, I pull my legs closer into my chest, trying to become even tinier. I can't let the demon find me.
As I sit there, hiding, I pray. I pray to all the saints, and to every holy thing that I can think of. Please, don't let this demon find me. I can't let him kill me. And as I sit there, scared, cold, and alone, I pray to Kikyo. Please, sister.
Help me.
