Slowly, Oshira-sama loosened her grip but didn’t let go. She looked down, trying to hide the fact that she was on the verge of tears.
“You…you won’t stay with me, will you?” she said, and it was more of a statement then a question. She knew he’d say no… they all said no. She was always alone.

'I... might..' He sighed. 'I might stay with you.'
But how could he?.. He had a home to go back to, a girlfriend and a dog. But then.. here, if things were fixe up.. who knew?.. He did always love his fathers stories he told him while practicing Shintoism... who knew..

She let him go and sadly shook her head, because "might" wasn't good enough and her tears would have fallen if they hadn’t dried up decades ago.
She slid down from the railing and walked back to where Komitori waited.
“Chitori,” she said, “Come with me. Now.”
Chitori looked at her, at his poor friend, and he knew that she needed him. He obediently followed her back through the gate.
Silently, she looked at the rest of them and then looked at Taichiji.
“If you survive,” she said to him, “Come walk with me again.”
She turned to her fellow demon.
“Don’t let them back into our city,” Oshira-sama said to Komitori, and then she slowly walked away, back into the child’s graveyard.

'NO! Wait! You can't do this!!'
But she'd left already. He heard his friends coming up to them.
'We... we have to free them guys. We have to free them all.'

Inmu and Yanku nodded. They had seen how sad Oshira-sama had been, how vulnerable she could be... It wasn't a matter of getting in and out or even saving the children who would play Otokoyo anymore, it was about stopping all of the pain, fear, and loneliness in this horribly despondent place.
"We will do whatever it takes to help you, Taichiji," Inmu said and Yanku nodded, adding, "To help them."

"Yaimao.. you .. you know alot of protectors yes?,' He looked to Yaimao sadly for a moment.
'If so, I'm going to need your help on this one. How much do you know about Sakata no Kintoki? Because we'll need to help remind him to get back into the city and help everyone, including him and oshira-sama....' But why did Oshira tell him to forget Sorincha, when she looked EXACTLY like her?

Yaimao tried to think when he ended up explaining to him, 'It is a folk hero about a child of superhuman strength, he was raised by a mountain hag on Mount Ashigara. he became friedly with the animals of the mountain, and leter, after catching shutendouji, the terror of the region around Mount Ooe, he became a loyal follower of Minamoto no Yorimitsu..."
Then he paused for a second when he thought about the poster containing the five demons with their names in the room. He got a headache that was all he could remember.

'Thank you Yaiao!' Taichiji smiled at him a hug him happily.
'I thought as much. Most of these poor souls aren't really demons at all after all! Look at Chitori for example. He probably did guard the gates.. and maybe why 'he' had decided on smashing it in the first place even before we told him to. It's likely he wants his proper place back!I wonder if the others would be so keen though..' He thought, worrying how Kimotori may take things.

Yaimao didn't know what to say when he was hugged by Taichiji and patted Taichiji on the back.
"But we have to be careful next time...'

Taichiji noded. 'You're right Yaimao. It's going to be FAR harder this time araound. And last time we had Chitori's aid as well. I'll have to make due with a limp; now I see what Oshira meant by 'if you survive.' if we ARE caught this time.. it's more then likely that they'll show no mercy.'
He looekd to the others. 'Anyone whom wishes to leave, do so now.'

Yaimao said, "I am not leaving at all!"

The twins looked at each other and then looked back to Taichiji.
"We shall stay," Inmu said and Yanku finished, "We can't let you go alone."
Standing in the entrance way, Kimotori grunted and adjusted the wheel on his back. The names that Taichiji and Yaimao had been speaking amongst themselves meant little too him. It had been so long since the city was built, so long since he had seen the sky, the forest, the field. He sighed and adjusted his stance.
Oshira-sama did not want these young men in the city so he would not let them pass, for her sake.

Yaimao said, "What's the plan?"

"We should let Taichiji talk to Komitori," Yanku said, "He seems to have a way with the demons."
Inmu nodded.

Taichiji sighed at this. 'Nothing yet. Nothing at all.. I have no idea how to speak to an emmesary who doesn't even remember who he really is.. and I'm sure he'd more than likely skin a tanuki then speak with one...' His tail lowered at this thought.
