[i]"We should probably find shelter for the next day. I'm not demanding that we do...that's just what I would suggest. That's all."[/i]

[i]"Yes... It'd be a good idea to find somewhere we can rest,... And talk. I'm feeling abit exhausted myself at the moment, and my head could use a breather. What about you two? I'm sure you've seen or gone through something horrible too..."[/i]

"Just another day in nightmare land," Reiko agreed. Between seeing all the crap she'd seen today, learning that the group's guide and greatest hope for salvation was a vampire, and just altogether having a very not-good day, Reiko was about as done here as done could get. Still, she didn't know how to escape. That was why Shizune was here; why she didn't kill the vampire back when she found discovered what Shizune really was. That, and weighing a shinai - even in the hands of an expert - against a vampire assuming the legends of their speed and might were true, and Reiko's odds of winning that fight would be dangerously low. Give her an actual katana on the other hand, with a blade...

But there was nothing that could be done about it. Here was a quartet of girls who once was a group numbering at about eight or so. The fact that two days was all it took for half of them to die was something Reiko would need time to wrap her head around. Then how much longer would the remaining girls be able to survive? How long would be take before there was any chance of escape? Did their chances of survival and their chances of escape have different lifespans? "Nightmare land" indeed
