Luna nimbly scaled the tree in which she had hidden, taking care not to make a sound. Inching out to the edge of the branch, she studied the next tree to find one strong enough to hold her before finally leaping onto it. Repeating this process thousands of times, she found that she wasn't making much progress. 'Eh, screw it. If i'm going to find my way back, I'm gonna have to move faster than this...' Throwing caution to the wind, she leaped from branch to branch. There was a snap under her feet after several minutes of this, however. A sharp squeak slipped from her as she found herself eating dirt at the tree's roots. 'I need to lay off the ramen...'

She felt the aura approaching before she could hear its source. With a jolt, she realized there was no place to hide from it. 'Shit... Demon stampede!'

The stampede of demons rushed in on her, surrounding her and giving her the look a predator gives its prey. She could feel the evil from their auras and knew that she wasn't getting away easily. Drawing her sword, she glanced around wildly, searching for a place to run, trying to figure out which one would move first.

The first one lunged for her, causing her to whip around to face it and slash with the blade, leaving it split in half on the ground. To her horror, they devoured the corpse of their former member. 'Damn... They're so hungry they're eating their own! I don't want to be lunch! Wait a second... This may work in my favor...' Focusing, she spun the sword in a figure-eight pattern, bending her wrists so that the loop curved around her body slightly. Calmly, she walked through the crowd, decapitating and slicing up any demon in the way, distracting those left living with a meal of freshly slain demons. Once clear, she sprang up into the air, quietly landing in a tree. Putting up her sword, she decided to continue traveling.

After a few seconds of leaping from tree to tree, Luna froze. There was a silver-haired demon traveling with a small human girl, a two-headed dragon, and a reptilian demon which Luna could not entirely figure out the species of... and they were heading straight for the stampede. 'With that few people, someone could get hurt... but that man looks like royalty...' Pressing up to the tree and using it to hide from him she deepened her voice slightly. "I wouldn't go that way if I were you..."

A second later, she was pressed to the tree and a katana was pointed at her throat. The silver-haired demon was glaring at her viciously.

"I was just giving advice... sheesh..." Luna kicked suddenly, knocking the blade from the demon's hands. "Don't you know it's impolite to threaten girls?"

"No one speaks to Sesshomaru-sama like that! You better be thankful he hasn't sliced your head off, you filthy mutt!"

Luna only grinned before lifting her head from her body. "Surprisingly, it wouldn't kill me. I've been beheaded so many times that I can do this painlessly." Effortlessly, she blocked another attack from the demon as he attempted to use his claws on her. "You think I wasn't expecting that, sir?"

'So much skill... This Sesshomaru should not kill her... Why the hell is this Sesshomaru thinking this?'

"Either way, my offer of advice stands. There's a stampede of demons up ahead," Luna placed her head neatly on her body, "and they're pretty damn hungry... They ate one of their own earlier... and that human girl's as good as a snack for them. Possibly that reptile thing with you, too. Good luck..." Luna turned her head to look straight at the demon who attacked her, "...and farewell, Sesshomaru-sama. It was fun." She smiled and leaped away before he could figure out what happened.

Stopping a few seconds later, she couldn't help but giggle. 'Damn he's cute... If only he didn't want to kill me...'

'"Cute" my ass... He's hot. Admit it.'

'Ugh... Shut up, Instinct...'

'Admit it! He'd make a good mate...'

'Just leave me alone, damn it!' To her relief, her instinct obeyed her command, though she had a feeling that the man hadn't taken her advice. 'Well... maybe I should go back and kill the demons... or at least make a distraction... Don't want anything sentient to get hurt...' With that, she turned back towards the stampede and rushed towards it, preparing herself for a battle she wasn't sure she could win.
