Banshi slightly looked confused as he pushed her hand away. She shrugged and pocketed it. she sighed then perked up her ears, trying to hear if the humans caught her trail. Thankfully not. The kistune nearly jumped when Yoshi spoke again. "Don't be. I've been in much worse situations then that before. And to tell you the truth, I didn't really much notice you were there in the first place." She said.
She caught a voice of one man, ordering the troops. It was about a mile away so she could barely hear it. She then heard dogs barking and echoing through the trees. The only word she could make out well from the man was 'Ambush'. "Son of a..." She sighed. "They got dogs tracking us down." Banshi stood, offering a hand to help Yoshi up.

He took the hand easily and stood. He suddenly grabbed Banshi's shoulder, his leg almost giving out. He still had the arrow wound in his own leg, and he was a human. Human's couldn't take as much punishment as a demon. He managed to balance himself, and begin walking, picking up his gauntlets as he did. "Lead the way.." He hoped he hadn't grabbed her wounded shoulder.

Banshi thought for a moment. She gave a slight smile, then shifted to her demon form. "Get on and don't worry about my wounds, just hold on tight." She said. After she was sure that he was on her back, and holding on tightly, she darted through the trees quickly darting through the trees. The troops' dogs found them because of the scent left behind on the ground.
Once finding a big enough clearing, the kistune lunged diagonally upwards, soaring a good distance before running atop the branched of the high trees again. One more leap and they would be safe from the scent being found by the dogs. Banshi landed roughly in a clearing, but was sure not to harm her friend in any way possible.

Yoshi didn't like the idea of riding Banshi, but with dire conditions and all that, he got on her back and held onto her as tight as he could, while trying not to touch her wounds. The troops would give up their search for now, but they wouldn't forget about the assassin. They'd find him one day.
He got off gently when they reached the clearing, and he winced, his back hurting. He shook his head some, saying to her. "I'm really sorry, Banshi. For what happened to you." He wasn't talking about the fight with the troops. Whenever Yoshi was near someone.. he could feel their emotions, and even worse. When he touched someone, he could see their past, dark evils in their heart, many things. It was a curse and gift of the Leech's touch. A trait passed down through his bloodline. He stepped away from her. "Humans aren't all bad... " Yoshi didn't have much room to talk.. he'd been doing some pretty nasty things for the past four years.

Banshi looked at him. She returned to her human form, slightly confused. "What do you mean?" She wanted to know what Yoshi was talking about. The kistune looked around, looking to see if the area was safe or not. So far it did. Nothing or no one was scented other then just a few animals roaming the area. Ooc// Braindead ;;

He thought about explaining, but he stopped. He really shouldn't prod into people's pasts. He grimaced, and replied. "Um.. nothing. Just sorry you got hurt because of me. " He lied. But eh.. better than having her mad at him for accidentally reading her mind. He usually didn't mean to, but sometimes it just happened. He sat down in the grass, and sighed. Where did he go from here? His village was destroyed, he had no friends, and he was wounded and probably sought after by a great many soldiers who wanted him killed or imprisoned for the rest of his life.

Banshi shrugged. She could tell that he was lying, but simply ignored it for as long as she can. She spun on they heel of her foot and fell onto her back arms outstretched. She only fliched at the pain from her shoulder. Yoshi lying wouldn't ease off her mind and she sighed. "If you were truely a friend, you wouldn't lie" Banshi paused. "Lying only leads to more troublesome circumstances if you are caught." Another pause. Long pause. "Then again, lying only means you have something to hide, so I won't bother to ask"

He wasn't sure why he was considered a true friend. He hadn't done much to show any strong loyalty to her. It was only a while ago he learned her name. But really.. he could use a helping hand with how deep he was in trouble. He grimaced and said to her. "I'm young... but I know principles.. 'Never lie to deceive or hurt'. I lie because I'm not sure if I'll offend you." He paused for a moment, then said to her. "I saw your past when you touched me, and I'm saying sorry for what your village did to you.. But, not all of us humans are weak like them.."

Banshi slightly frowned then laughed at a detail he got wrong. "You're wrong about something. They were all demons. I was the strongest one of them for some reason." She shrugged. Maybe that one saying was true. The strong survive... Banshi slightly froze for a moment. And the smart ones. The kistune lightly chuckled. "What's done is done."

He'd figured something was weird about it. That was the problem with memories. He wasn't actually there to feel it. To feel the demonic auras or see any vibrant details. He would feel the wound on his leg, and he would ask her. "Why'd you help me anyways..? You'd have came out with no wounds."

"I only helped you because you were there." Banshi said. "Those damn troops woke me up with their shouting. And actually, I'm glad they did." She added. Her eyes looked up at the starry sky, seeing a few stars shoot by. "Start making wishes." She joked.

"..Why?" He asked, turning his head towards her. He couldn't see the stars passing overhead. He frowned some, not sure what she was talking about. He was blind as a bat. He grabbed one of his gauntlets, and began to scrape of the dried blood off of them.

"Meteor shower" Banshi said. She didn't know what else there was to say. The kistune didn't make any wishes. One because she really didn't beleive in them, and two; she just didn't have any wishes to make. She twitched, hearing a song from her childhood play within her head. She shook her head, trying to rid of the memory.

"I wish.. I could go back to when I was a kid." Before all he'd been controlled by the jewel shard, and before all the raiders had slaughtered his village. He didn't hear Banshi make a wish, but he didn't ask why. He continued picking off dried blood, feeling a great feeling of loss now. This emotion would stretch out and even hit Banshi. She'd know this was coming from him, but as soon as it came, it left. Yoshi had restrained the curse again, knowing what he'd accidently done.

Banshi ignored Yoshi's emotion. The song continued to play over in Banshi's head. Eventually she bagan falling asleep because of it. She sat up, shooing her tiredness away. As she sat up, she felt something pricking her skin, and quickly she pulled the tainted shard from her skin. "Little prick.." she muttered. And laid back down on her back, holding the shard to the sky. She wondered what was so great about it. "Sorry if I upset you, but what is this thing supposed to do anyways?"
