You walked through town in your brown robe and sandals carrying a small bag filled with sunflower seeds you picked in the fields earlier today..
You spit the shells out while walking.
" how long have I been walking now...3 days...a week..."
You sighed.
Your village was on the outskirts of daigo's land which he thought..well probably thought that is.
'Hey why don't I just take that part too.'
Greedy bastard.
My village and people were known as the Hesperus.
We were known for our medicines and fortune telling.
But it's all gone now anyway..
I think daigo turned it into a market place...
I pouted remembering bad times until I tripped.
" gwa! What the..."
I looked down and saw a black and white dog.
I instantly stood up.
" oh my god I'm so, so sorry..."
I tried to hug the dog but it ran away from me.
" no wait! Come here, I promise I won't hurt you again!!"
I followed the dog which went out of the town and towards a grassy place.
I ran down the path with him until I looked up and noticed a kid near the water.
I panicked and stopped..
I was never to good with strangers as kids or adults.
I watched the dog walk up to the kid and I just stood there kinda strangely looking at him.
The kid looked up after he noticed the dog saying.
" hey sis is this your dog?"
I tensed up and shook my head no, walking over.
I walked over to the kid and Said.
" no I actually was trying to apologize to him.."
The kid smirked and said.
" how strange.."
I bent down to pet the dog.
The kid gasped and I saw the dog be ripped off the grown.
I quickly looked up and saw a bear like guy hold the puppy by the scruff.
I quickly realized these guys wanted to fight and fell on my butt scared.
I'm not a fighter and I'm quick to run... but there's this kid here...
Ugh what have I gotten myself into...
" you're mine now dororo.."
Oh the kids name is dororo.
" hey let go of him!"
I stood up and walked behind dororo grabbing his shoulders.
" hey now, let's just forget this happened and forgive one another...ok?"
I said smiling nervously...but let's be real that never works.
All he did was smirk at me.
" what? is the dog yours...then he'll pay for what dororo did..."
I saw him pull the dogs leg and I felt dororo shift out of my hands.
I quickly went in front of dororo and held onto the guys arm.
" stop.."
Then last thing I remember was two other guys showing up, tackling me then tying me to the brides legs...
This is why I used to stay home and do nothing...
I watched dororo get beaten up.
When they stopped I yelled out concerned.
" dororo are you o-"
Then I saw him throw a pebble at the guys head.
That made me laughed historically which made the guy look at me then back at dororo.
Oh man..did I make it worse..
I then struggled to get free.
" enough..."
He let go of dororo saying he'll let us go.
I stopped and looked at him..
Really they'll let us go?
Oh thank god..
" never show your face around here again..."
Then they started walking off..
I smirked and yelled at them.
" yeah you better run.. A few more seconds and I'd kick all your asses.."
They looked at me while they were walking away and I panicked scared they'd come to me.
" chill chill! I was joking..."
That made them smirk.
" no..."
We all looked at dororo.
Wait what?
Come on they were gonna leave!!
" you don't order me around...I choose where I live!!"
That made me stop for a minute..
Can you.. really choose..
I saw dororo throw a rock at him which made me groan...
Why...
" you wanna die!"
Then they started to drown dororo.. near the river.
" you guys stop he's just a ki-"
I stopped when I heard someone walk on the bridge.
I looked up the best I could to see someone with black hair looking in the distance.
What the...OH WAIT A MINUTE.
" HEY! can you help us!!"
I saw he had a sword.
The other two guys looked up when I shouted and noticed him.
Wait a minute...is he ignoring me?!
Rude...
" hey you up there...we're not bullies..we were the ones being bullied.."
I glared at them and pouted..
Yeah ok..
I saw the guy touch his sword.
Oh no wait..is he really gonna fight.
I don't want to be apart of that!
I attempted to get out again in a hurry.
But I stopped when I heard dororo say.
" no..I don't think he's looking at us.."
I looked at dororo and at the guy on the bridge..
Yeah.. what is he looking at..I looked down the way he should be looking at.
" he's looking behind us.."
" eh? I don't see anything.."
I tensed up and yelled at that guy.
" actually there's that garbage thing coming down...see it!?"
I said pointing with my head.
" yeah but it's just gar-"
Then all a sudden it stood up!
I screamed and turned my head.
Oh my god why do I always get caught into something!
The thing grabbed the guys face and I watched how it ate him.
I stood there now with a deadpan face.
Yeah...I'm gonna die here..
The other guys stated to run away and I yelled out.
" hey no wait! Let me out!"
But the monster got them and I instantly shut up..
I watched how it ate them and dororo stood up.
I yelled for dororo to get over here and away from it but the monster got him too.
" DORORO NO!"
He looked at the guy on the bridge.
The guy jumped down and cut him out.
I smiled and dororo fell " safely " with the help of the mysterious man.
" dororo I'm so happy you're ok!"
Dororo looked at me and ran over saying.
" sis! Hold still!"
He found the rock he threw at the guy and cut me out.
I instantly grabbed dororo and backed away quickly with him in my arms.
" ok we need to stay away!"
Dororo made me stop.
" we can't leave him here alone."
I stopped and looked at the guy then at dororo and then at the guy and groaned feeling sympathy for the guy.
" ugh! Fine! If I die though I'm haunting you sooooo bad..."
Then out of nowhere I got hit in the back of my head.
I quickly looked up and noticed the mysterious man had swords for hands..
" sis look!"
I looked down and saw two plastic arms in dororo s arms..
I was so confused and scared now..
I just put dororo behind me protecting him..
I watched as the guy gracefully avoided the attacks and cut the bridge down.
I blushed and watched amazed..
That's so beautiful...
Then the whole bridge collapses..
He stood " watching" it all fall and walked to grab his sword.
He put it in his mouth and turned to me and dororo I blushed and grabbed onto my robe and hid behind dororo.
So here's the thing...
I can't talk to boys if my life depended on it..
They just make me so nervous!
I felt dororo leave me and run to him with his plastic arms.
" wa-wait dororo!"
Without thinking I went after him and we both ended up in front of him.
I looked up when I made it to dororo and was face to face with the mysterious man.
I screamed and blushed.
I covered my mouth instantly thinking I just hurt his ears.
But..the closer I looked the more I realized how faked he looked.
Dororo put his arms back on and asked him a lot of questions.
The guy looked at dororo like he can see him, but..
isn't his eyes...fake..
I saw him turn to me and I blushed...dororo asked him more questions but he kept looking at me!
Why!
He then started shaking and put his hands on his face.
I panicked and thought he got hurt..
I mean I'm not that good looking but damn being a little dramatic no..
But then he fell forward I grabbed dororo and screamed while he fell on top of us.
I was a blushing mess but it instantly Turned into a frighten one when his face practically grew a new one.
What is this man..
He got off us and dororo spoke up.
" your...your face...are you human?!"
He touched his face lightly.
He looked down and reached for my hand.
I tensed up embarrassed.
" o-o-oh uh..."
He put it on his face then he tensed up.
He blanked at me like he was confused.
I couldn't handle it and I hyperventilated and passed out...
