"Hey, Kaede, let's go back to the village, first we need to heal up, then we can go back to the temple, how about this" Kaito said in a low tone.
"Let's go, but please help me, I can't walk well," she said, slowly losing her last strength.
Walking through the forest, they reached an abandoned cottage at the edge of the forest, where they stopped to rest a little.
"Kaede, let's take turns, since you are more injured, you rest first, then me. The village is close, we don't have to hurry".
"well, then I trust you that you won't leave me alone".
Kaede fell asleep.
"Hey kid doesn't the girl seem mysterious to you, we don't know anything about her. Where is she from, what is she doing here, how did she get here ? "
"I understand that she is not from here, but I could not leave her injured in the forest, if I had passed by her, I wouldn't have been in my waters, it wasn't to feel good, it was to think only of her, and to be sorry that I didn't help her." said kaido holding the katana in his hand.
"I understood it kid, I understood" said Kagekiri annoyed.
While kaito spoke with kagekiri, Kaede also woke up.
"you also sleep a little, Kaito, I'm on guard"
"I don't want to sleep, I'm not that tired. let's go to the church, to my friend, Ayame"
After resting, the two continued walking towards the church where was Kaito's friend, Ayame.
Ayame ran to them worried, to help them. Invited them inside where he bandaged the two and offered them a quiet place where they could rest in peace and quiet without fear.
"Ahh, how good is home" said Kaito happily.
"STOOOOOP! why are you so happy, better explain what happened to you, who is she?!" Ayame shouted angrily. Her face showed that she wanted to cry.
"Hey, hey, don't cry, everything is fine, don't worry, see, I'm here now, but who she is, I don't know."
"WHAT, HOW DO YOU NOT KNOW WHO SHE IS! If you don't know who she is, why did you bring her to us?"
"But what was I supposed to do?, I couldn't leave her alone in the forest, if she died?, I will feel guilty." said Kaito angrily.
"I understand, then let's wait for her to wake up, then we'll find out more from her".
"Then I'm leaving, I want to sleep too".
Also at that time, a rupture occurred in the temple between the two realms, it predict the coming of evil. In that temple, one of the 3 most powerful shadowborn was sealed away. But, he was the weakest of the 3.
1 Day passed
After a day of sleeping, Kaede woke up scared, her screams were heard outside by Kaito.
Hi ran inside, "what happened, why are you screaming ?"
"I'm sorry, I had a nightmare, but now i have a question or a few, where am I? How did I get here? And most importantly where are my clothes?!"
After a short explication
"So, You want me to believe you, that you brought me here all by yourself." Kaede said in a quiet tone.
"Yes!"
"Aha, then who undressed and bandaged me? And please don't tell me you did this."
"No, no, no, I didn't do anything! Ayame did everything. Who do you think I am, I have my honor too!"
At that moment Ayame entered the room with a bowl of water and a towel to wipe off the sweat.
"Oh, you woke up, welcome to our village, I'm Ayame."
"Now you see, it's my sister, she bandaged you and undressed."
"I'm Kaede, thanks for your help Ayame"
"Then if everything is fine, let's have dinner"
"Yes, but, can i have some clothes please"
"Oops, my mistake, wait a sec. Take this clothes."
"Thank you".
