[b] [u] Orion/kaji and Sunōrirī - right outside the village [/u] [/b]

"well this is a crap sandwich without the bread" Kaji commented on the sheer lack of defense. the lack of properly constructed defenses indicated to kaji that there probably weren't any men in the village. Most likely drafted and forced into the war, away from their homes. that left women, small children and elders. While women could become fully capable of tackling dangerous situations, a made evident by the woman in front of kaji, these women clearly were not. the fence, if you can call it that, was bound loosely and barely set deep enough not to be blown over by the wind. it was pretty sad but Sunōrirī did have a point. Nature was singing, but not a lovely tune. there was no sign of fauna and only a few soft singing birds. He glanced upward and noticed a Murder of crows flying above away from the village. Probably to eat the dead oni. 

Kaji placed his hands back behind his head, content in his belief that there was no danger. His training told him that most of the village members would have moved to the center of the village after the men left, to be near each other while the outer huts, buildings and structures offer a shabby defense. only the women, who were the most able bodied of the remaining population, moved around the entire village and only during the day time. At night fall all gathered together usually but since the sun was still in the sky it was only a matter of time before someone took notice of a tall beautiful white haired woman, and a well built handsome warrior such as himself.
