Burned youkai on a dusty trail...

Nozomi nodded and turned the direction she thought the village was. The dark haired miko didn't correct her, so she figured she was starting off on the right foot. Walking down the path she found, she wondered if that man would really be all right. She had seen a couple of people who looked like that and her mother was only able to save one of them...for only about six months. During that time, the man was in excruciating pain and would cry out over the simplest of things.

She took in a deep breath and decided it would be her life's work never to be burned. She knew she wouldn't have the power to live for six months, let alone six minutes. She might look strong, but she was the one of the weakest people when it came to healing the hurt and sick.

Before she made it to the village, she came across another smell of burnt flesh and soon found the owner of that smell lying on the ground in front of a human girl. She slowed down as she passed the two people and soon realized that one wasn't a person at all, but a youkai. She thought about running away, since it looked like that girl had been the one to kill the youkai, but at the same time she didn't know if she was on the right path to the village and she needed someone to tell her she was...or not.

"Uh..um...exuse me?" she asked timidly. "Is the village down this path? Am I going the right way? I was asked by this miko to get help and a stretcher for this badly burned man back there and I was wondering if I was headed in the right direction."

After asking the question she felt better, but was still a little antsy to get out of there. Who knew what this girl could do to her if she took down that thing.
