Blinded

[Sunoaki Maunten]

Of course she looked odd. She was wearing a mini skirt in ten below weather with a sucker in her mouth. pineapple if you were wondering. Sunoaki only swirled her tongue around the sweet pineapple taste as she walked through the snow. There were lights in the distance and she was sure to be coming up on a small town. Maybe this was where he was. Maybe Hisakata would be here waiting for her completely unharmed. Maybe he would be a little battered from abuse and just need a few days of healing after she takes out the bad guys. Or maybe...

Don't think about that! Don't! She physically shook her head as her steps slowed. The snow spirit was still in her human guise but the temperature did not faze her for obvious reasons. Her hair blew with the command of the wind as the snowflakes swirled around her. She drew closer to the town but did not know what she would do for lodgings. She had little money left and really didn't want to ask someone. They would want her life story or just throw her out and then she would have to force her way in. It would just be messy.

Sunoaki could start to hear the sounds coming from the village as she closed the distance. Sounds of people closing up shops or driving home to a warm-cooked meal or of people going out for the night. Apparently it was a Friday. But this information was irrelevant to her. Her cold gaze scanning for any who that might know something or look different. But she wasn't having much luck. She was suppose to be keeping her eye open for a man that hunted monsters but her informant could not give details as to what he looked liked.

She was getting no where fast till she heard something behind her. Sunoaki stopped in her tracks and ran her hands through her hair. She hated fighting of any kind and wanted to appear as invisible and uninteresting as possible and hoped they just passed her by as she moved to the side of the road, taking her pack off and pretended to rummage in it. Then again she was a girl in a mini skirt in the middle of a snow storm somewhere in Russia...
