The lush valley below the small village seemed peaceful enough from the edge of the cliff face, but to the trained eye all would not be as it appeared. One such trained eye sat upon a high tree branch of a grand tree that leant ever so daringly over the edge of said cliff face. Kicking her feet gently before her, Ai sat there with her gaze trained upon the area knowingly. She was waiting patiently for the movement she was expecting; for the demon to emerge from the forest.

Taking another bite of the cooked chicken that was held on a small stick, she let herself relax a bit. It seemed whatever lesser demon that had been making its way to the village was lying low for now so she should have plenty of time to at least finish the food she had purchased. She didn't often trust the human merchants of towns like this, but she had to eat something to keep her human form in shape. This thoughts in mind, she shifted the neckline of her kimono, paranoid of the gills she knew protruded from her neck on either side. She was alone for now, but if a human were to see them-- she shook her head and sighed, throwing down the wooden stick she'd been eating from as she took the last bite of the chicken. Another riot was the last thing she wished for from this town. Besides, it would be a bit troublesome seeing that one of her precious katana was still in the room she had rented at the village inn.

Her thoughts were cut short as an enormous form leapt from the trees of the valley suddenly, an over-sized beetle demon flying overheard of her now as it lunged aimed to land at the village. Frowning, eye stood to watch the beast fly over her head with a mixture of excitement and disgust. This would give her a reason to exercise no doubt, for while she didn't particularly have an aptitude for defending humans, she hadn't had a bit of action for a while. That, and her thoughts again went to the katana she had left at the hotel. "If that thing so much as scratches it..." she murmurs, leaping gracefully down from the tree and beginning to run towards the village, where a few screams were now heard.
