"Kagura"

No...it can't be....

"Kagura."

Please, God, no!

"Kagura!"

Reluctantly, Kagura groaned drowsily and blinked open her eyes, taking no time at all to shift her gaze and glare daggers at the culprit who woke her. Zakuro was standing over her, blocking the sunlight from fall on Kagura's face. But even though her older sister was shrouded in shadow, she could tell she was annoyed. Just like Kagura was, but she was just grouchy. This was one aspect of traveling she could gladly live without. "Oh, come on, Zakuro!" She protested, rolling over onto her back and instantly having to lift her hand to shield her eyes from the sun. "Its still early morning! And we had a late night last night!" Zakuro only crossed her arms, she would say nothing more and Kagura knew she didn't need to. As the oldest, she was technically the 'leader' of sorts.

With a final groan of protest, Kagura rose to a sitting position, glaring still at Zakuro's back as she started packing up their small camp. Kagura sighed, and started stretching her arms to procrastinate having to physically get up any further. "What's the game plan today?" She asked nonchalantly, figuring that was as good a place to start as any. "The usual." Zakuro replied, making Kagura huff in protest. "I don't like this tactic, Zakuro. Having to travel separately and then regroup later on...its dangerous don't you think?" She said, though they both knew that wasn't the real problem. Kagura was used to having Zakuro and Monderno at her side, when they did this she had no one.

She could defend herself, that wasn't the problem. She just didn't particularly like talking to herself in public. But, despite her best efforts, they each packed up their stuff and went their separate ways. This time, they were to rendezvous near the entrance of the Tsuta Ruins, which she didn't have any particular issue with. Again, she just hated being alone. It was then that her mind wandered, and the only way to keep form going insane, was to make yourself look absolutely insane by talking to yourself or to the animals or plant life around you. She sighed, taking a break underneath a tree, a small family of horses grazing nearby. Technically, she could capture one and break it, train it to be her companion. But Kagura didn't have the heart to break apart a family so coldly and selfishly.

Kagura leaned her head back against the tree she was sitting against, sighing in a strange mixture of content and loneliness. Truly, this was the worst part of travel. She hated this new tactic, but it really was the best thing to do until all the members of The Syndicate were no longer trying to kill them. They drew less attention as lone travelers. She closed her eyes and sighed again, wondering how much longer she was going to have to put with this. How many more days would be like this.
