The air was still. Time seemed almost frozen as Kami laid under a tall tree, farther from his enemy. The sun was just beginning to set over the mountains as small amounts of light came from the tree tops. Kami had made a small bed from the leaves and grass around him and laid in a clearing with his head facing the sky. He could feel his head throbbing again as he held his head. ‘I…I…think that, that…guy gave me…some type of…infection…I feel as though I’m going to pop!’ He could feel as though he had a fever and said to himself:” One day I’m going to kill that guy! But until I cure this infection I may as well just dig my grave.” Kami continued to watch the sky. ‘If only…if only Lily were still with me…them maybe…I would live to see her again…’ he thought as he pulled his sword from his side and placed it not too far away from him, in case He came back or another enemy came to kill him. Kami could see the stars just begin to show themselves as he lay there.

Yumi was skipping merrily down a path made over time by human, demons and anything else that could make it through here. It was sunset, no sounds were to be heard besides those of squirrels climbing up and down the trees. She continued down the path, until she saw someone laying down on the ground. Yumi walked ever so slowly over to him, being cautious as if he were going to attack.
When she reached him she keeled down to his level and asked "What happened to you?"

Kami grabbed his sword and held it. When he noticed he quickly pulled it away and said: “Excuse my rudeness…I thought you were a demon…”he said as more blood came from his wounds. The gash on his arm bled the most but the other wounds were still open, causing more and more pain for him. Kami laid back down as he winced in pain. “I was attacked…by a very powerful enemy…”

Yumi watched as more blood that already had surrounded him came out of his wounds. "That's not good. Would you like me to bandage them for you?" She spoke referring to his last comment. She took out some bandages and other stuff from a small pouch that was on her sash.

He winced in pain as he nodded.He sat up a bit as a small amount of blood came out again. "I think I've been infected by something...I have no idea but I know that it causes fever and my blood to boil. There was a sudden hissing. As if something was burning. Kami yelped in more pain as he held his right arm. He removed it only for a split second to see that his flesh was burning. "If we don't clear this infection up in the next couple of days or a week I'll be toast!" He winced in pain again as the hissing stopped. His flesh was safe...but for how long...

"Okay, This might sting a little. It's something I came across during my travels. It disinfects things," She said taking the liquid that was in a small bottle. She poured some in each of his wounds, then wiping off the blood surrounding the wounds. Next she bandaged them all of the wounds. "You should find somewhere safe to stay, I'm sure demons will smell your blood and surely attack you. Do you think you could walk a short distance?" Yumi stated first and then asked.

More blood seemed to start coming out. "Yeah...yeah I'll be able to walk for a while..." he said as he stood up. He would have fell if it wasn't for a near by tree. 'If my blood won't clot, then I'm sure demons will try and kill me and this miko...and since my arms are getting worse I can't use my sword...its been a while since I haven’t needed to use my sword and I’m rusty...but this girl has a sword and maybe some experience with it...maybe I can practice with her for a while and get my mind in order...of course once my infection is gone and I've healed completely.

"Let me help you, You don't seem that your stable enough to walk by yourself," She said putting her arm around his waist, and his arm around her neck. Yumi didn't care about getting blood on her kimono seeing as she could get a new one in the village that she was going to take him to. "Are you ready to go?" She asked him.

"Yeah...I guess...but tell me something…”he said then continued: “Why did you choose to help me…most humans would have left a ha—demon for dead…” he said quickly covering the word “half” demon. If he had said that then there would possibly be more and more questions…

"Because I choose not to be prejudice. I choose not to assume that all demons are bad, though I did in the past." Her voice trailed off on the last part of her second sentence. She began to walk slowly carefully trying not to make any of the demons wounds open again. "Tell me, what is your name?"

"My name is Kami..." he said as they continued down the path."And what is your name?"

"My name is Yumi," She said as they continued. In the distance you could see a small village, luckily they'd made it in time before the sun set. "I'm going to take you to see my friend, she's a healer. She'll see what's wrong with you"

"Thank you Yumi...unlike most humans they would have tried and killed me...even if I was injured..." he said. Some how the night seemed to go faster. Kami looked to the moon. 'The moon...it's almost gone...I can't let them see me when there is a new moon...'

"If you would've met me in the past you might've had that fate, but not now I've changed." She spoke with confidence in her voice. They were nearing her friends home, it wouldn't be much longer now. They made their way over to her friends house. Yumi knocked politely, before entering. "I need your help," She said to her friend.

"Really...I would have never expected you to be kind to demons..." Kami said as he took one more look at the moon before thinking to himself: 'Maybe I need to change a bit too...'
