Kiyomi dashed through the forest as the demonic auras got closer behind her. She jumped over large roots and rocks, avoiding every obstacle in her way. She was running for a long time. She was trying her very hardest to not run past any villages. She didn't want to harm anyone in the demons rampage. She had to find a place where she could deal with them and not have to worry about anyone's safety.
Soon she came to a large river with a heavy flow and without thinking followed its stream. She hopped rock to rock hoping it would distort her trail from the demons following her. Although she was trying every trick in the book to get rid of them she could still sense their presence behind her. She was starting to get very annoyed with their reluctant persistence.
Those demons had chased her away from her lake and all she could do was continue to run. Kiyomi made her way down the river until a familiar presence was felt and she made her way down the river faster out of curiosity. Suddenly she heard a loud smash behind her but ignored it.
The demons had caught up to her and were right behind her. She saw a large boulder coming up in view and she hopped on it. The boulder just happened to be above a large waterfall and down below she saw a tiny girl in the river. It was the little girl from a few days ago, what were the odds.
Kiyomi gasped when she felt a heavy impact at her back, knocking her off the cliff of the waterfall. A large boulder was thrown, hitting her in the back, and sent her toppling to what would be the death of any ordinary human, instead she submerged under the water at the bottom of the waterfall. Although her back was aching a little.
Kiyomi quickly regained her strength and resurfaced to the top. She swam to a more shallow area of the river then moved to the shore and knelt on the ground. She had to hurry and catch her breath. An upcoming battle was imminent. But as she did so she heard a voice. A voice that she had heard before.
"It's you!" Kiyomi turned her head to see the little girl she had seen at the bottom of the waterfall. She was standing a few feet away from her down stream with her kimono hiked up. She looked as if she was catching fish. She smiled at her but the little reunion would have to wait because she felt something land right behind her, shaking the ground. She knew what it was, two large ogres specifically. Kiyomi quickly stood and turned to face the two.
Kiyomi cursed to herself when she realized how large they were. She could handle one of them but two? This was going to be very difficult. One was a dark purple, larger, and stronger than the one next to him. The other one was a bright red but he seemed faster than the larger one. Kiyomi stood to get into a fighting stance but a distracting loud scream was heard. Unfortunately she already knew who it was without looking.
The scream not only caught the attention of her but the two demons in front of her as well and the two demons looked at the little girl with blood lust in their eyes.
