Takuya strolled through the forest of bamboo as he looked around. He then sarcastically remarked to himself "Brown, brown, and oh... A little Tan! How marvelous." Takuya continued his walk when he suddenly heard a loud growl. Swiftly drawing one of his blades he looked around for the source of the noise. Hearing it again he realized it was his stomach. Sighing, Takuya sheathed his blade and started to scout for food. Not liking the presentation and taste of the raw bamboo around him he sat down in the middle of the road and sighed again. Takuya then realized he was truly lost with no dinner in sight...

Kyr walked without paying much attention to her surroundings. Her pocket was full of coins from her most recent job, and the weight was starting to annoy her. She wanted to find a place to bury it, like she did with all of her reward money. Though, sometimes she forgets where she hides her money and just ends up leaving it. But, she did not care much for wealth, so it did not matter to her. She never really needed it, anyway. She was a youkai, and could take care of her own needs without the use of coins.
She proceeded through the bamboo grove with caution. She did not feel the need to remove her blindfold, so she had to navigate using only her nose and ears, which was a somewhat difficult task in a place full of bamboo trees. She really needed to find the path...
Kyr paused, the wind bringing her a new scent. Human? Here? Whatever for? Curious, Kyr followed the scent until she could sense another’s presence. She stopped and noticed that she had managed to find the path, as well. How lucky.

Takuya heard a rustling in the distance. Everything in his mind was telling him to flee or hide but he was simply to hungry. He began to think Is this where it all ends? Done in by someone when I'm to hungry to fight? How Lame!" It was then when he noticed his potential assailant. It appeared to be a young woman. He noticed she was blindfolded and he remained silent. Hoping she would pass by him. He wondered to himself Why would a woman be out here? Unless, there's a village nearby. Score! He still remained cautious however. Anyone that would come into a bamboo grove blindfolded can't be a simple village woman.

She brushed a few leaves from her hair as she stepped onto the main path. She turned her face toward the human, wondering why he was not reacting to her presence.
Perhaps he was wounded. Then again, Kyr could not smell any blood, so that could not be right. Lost, then? Not like she could help him there. She barely ever knew where she was going, herself.
Kyr decided to test it, she was too curious and interested not to. "Are you lost?" she asked, not voicing any concern.
Then, she was reminded of the weight in her pocket. Ugh. She did not want to bury it in the presence of another, just in case she actually did remember where she hid it when she needed some coin.

Takuya was stunned. How could this girl see him? He decided to chance it. He was dead no matter what happened. Takuya replied "Nope, just resting." suddenly his stomach growled loudly. He tried to ignore it but his hunger was to great. He would not ask this women for help as he still did not trust her. Takuya waited for her to reply.

"Resting?" Kyr repeated. "Hm." What an odd place to rest, in the middle of the path of a bamboo grove. And what was that sound? She vaguely connected it with hunger. She wanted to know why a human was out here, on an empty stomach. She looked in the human's direction for a moment before becoming distracted again. She would just have to find some other place to hide her money.
She turned her head, listening, attempting to figure out her location using the sound of the wind. ...Which way was out?

Takuya thought This one is odd He cleared his thought and said "Yeah. Do you know of any villages near by?" He didn't like the feeling she was giving off though. It seemed like there was more to her than she was letting on. Still he had no energy and was not inclined to fight at this time. Who was he kidding? He couldn't harm a woman anyway. It would make him no better than "them". He sat and waited for an answer.

Kyr returned her attention to the human. Is that what he was doing out here, in the middle of practically nowhere, looking for a village?
"A village? I don't remember passing one," she replied. Although she could have not been paying any attention. But, then again, it was hard to pass and forget about a village smelling strongly of humans -- or youkai for that matter. "Why?" she asked, too curious not to.

This woman was too inquisitive for Takuya's liking. Why should he have to disclose himself to her? He lied and said "I've got a brother who's village was supposed to be near here. I got lost on the way." He waited for her response. He didn't like that he couldn't see her eyes either. He could guess motives way better if he could see her eyes. He took a chance and asked "Why do you have a blindfold on?"

"So you're lost," she pointed out, "Or lying." Kyr shrugged, not caring either way. It was just another thing humans did that she did not understand. What was the point of lying if they eventually get found out, anyway? She only did it herself when she was paid to.
"The blindfold is for protection," she answered, using the same vague reply she had once before. She was not going to explain her power to a human, it was not worth her time. Besides, he did not need to know, unless he wanted to die.

Takuya was surprised that he had been found out so easy. He was usually a better liar than that. Her answer intrigued him. Protection? From what? He wondered to himself. Drawing one of his blades and sticking it into the ground,Takuya used it to get up. He then asked the strange woman "Protection huh? From what?" He could tell she didn't want to answer but his curiosity got the better of him.

"It's best you don't know," Kyr said, listening to his movements. She folded her arms across her chest. This human seemed odd. He was cautious, but not very defensive, which is what she was used to. Then again, the human she usually dealt with were either aware of what she truly was, or were about to die by her hand.
"In case you're wondering, I'm not human," she said, wondering what kind of reaction she would get. Perhaps then, he would not be so calm around her. What was it she was doing again? Oh, right. Her coins. Oh, well. She would find some place to put them, eventually.

This woman's last statement did not phase Takuya. He plied "Its not hard to tell. Most human women don't frolic in bamboo groves with blindfolds on." He continued to act confidently even though he knew in his mind he was in no condition to fight. Betting against her bloodlust Takuya asked "You wouldn't happen to have any food on ya?" He began thinking I hope she at least eats human food. Daring to get closer he sheathed his blade and closed the distance between he and the strange woman a little. They were now only about 5 feet away from each other.

Frolic? She had definitely not been frolicking anywhere. No reaction. Oh well, so much for her entertainment.
"I don't eat much," Kyr replied, indirectly saying 'no.' It was not that she was never hungry, it was just that she had become numb to hunger pains, so she could never tell if she was or not. It was only until she noticed her sluggish movements and low energy did she take the hint to find some food. But, right now, she had no need for it.
"Why not just go hunt for something?" she asked, still not understanding the human and his odd ways.

Takuya's spirit deflated a little upon receiving the news that this woman did not have any food. In response to her question he replied "I've grow tired of eating crow. Literally. Besides, there's not much to catch in this grove." He continued to size her up. She was a good size and seemed very strong. She'd make a good mate. Takuya caught himself thinking but he quickly dismissed this thought from his mind. The mystery of the blindfold was still nagging at him too. He repeated any earlier question by asking her "So, do you know the way out of here?"
