The river of time waits for no one and as much as you may wish to continue living in a singular moment you can't. The beauty of the moment is that it is fleeting and for those on a mission where they have to work with long-term goals in mind, rushing things wasn't an option.
Sakura, Hakai and Susa would find their mission to sink into the community of the northern territory to take longer than they would've hoped.
To blend in with humans and become trusted took some getting used to for both Sakura and Hakai but Susa was used to doing this although working with others was new to him.
Their transition from being youkai to disguising as humans took some adjusting and they all needed to figure out what their cover would be when it came to occupation.
Susa took up fishing and worked for those who planned on selling fish to the other villagers.
