On the road (Open, mainly for Naku and myself)

Even with all of the pain Kouhei could still manage to talk like he normally does. "How was I supposed to know that you were going to pee behind this tree at this exact moment?!" Damn it hurts.... But if she had gotten her own sleeping bag thing probably could've been avoided... Kouhei thinks to himself.

"I-if you just asked I would have let you!"

This really did turn the table on Kouhei. "I..." Kouhei pulls up his underwear and pants as he stands up. Unsure of really what to do he just asks on thing. "This never happened, okay?"

Naku quickly grabs him. "I'm sorry. I shouldn't have reacted that way; can you please forgive me?"

Instead of what Kouhei would normally do, saying something like 'Yeah or 'Yes', Kouhei quickly kisses Naku. It seemed uncharacteristic of him but then again so did Naku apologizing.

Naku's eyes go extremely wide as she was not in the least bit prepared for that. "Eh-what was that for?!"

"It seemed like you were being uncharacteristic, so I didn't want it to end weirdly." Despite what Kouhei said that did seem weird, even to himself. Kouhei was always a person who never really changed the way he acted, so that was really something for him to do.

All Naku could do is kiss him back. "You're very daring you know that?"

Kouhei laughs a little bit, though it seems more like the circumstance of it that he was laughing at. "That's a first."

"Well shall we be going?"

"Yeah. From here it's only a while away." Kouhei says trying to be optimistic as he heads into the tent and soon comes out with his sleeping bag in one roll.

Naku takes down the tent and packs it into her backpack. "Well let's shove off!"

"Right." Kouhei says leading the way through the forest. It's about another two to three hours of walking before the village is in sight. From far away the village looks calm and peaceful.

"Oh wow! It's beautiful! How did you know it was here?!"

"I was wandering this forest a few months ago when I found this village. It's... well you should see for yourself." Kouhei says walking towards the village stopping just before the forest ends. From here the village looks completely deserted.

Naku follows behind. "Why did we come here when nobody is here?"

Kouhei grins, like he's enjoying a joke. When Kouhei walks into the village he disappears from view. A simple look at one of the trees near by reveals a paper talisman on the bark of the tree, most likely for protection.

Wah! Kouhei! Where did you go?!

Kouhei sticks his head out of seemingly thin air. His head is where the forest is completely cut off, like it just... disappears into nothing, some outgoing tree branches seem to just totally cut off at a certain point. "Yes?" Kouhei says still smiling enjoying Naku's confusion.

"Ehhh?! What the hell?! How are you floating like that? It's unnatural!"

Kouhei laughs a bit. "You see the protection charms on the trees? There's a barrier around the town that keeps the people hidden." That helped a bit but it was still fairly vague to the question.

"So I can just walk in then?" Naku was still heavily confused because she doesn' t know much about magic and such. the only magic she had encountered and understood was the magical jewl that granted him his gender swaping power.

"Yes. The barrier is only meant to keep demons out, nekos are acceptable in the barrier." In some place's nekos are or were considered demons, though it has more become a matter of opinion.

Naku then walks in not knowing what he's in for.

Inside the barrier it looks like it did on the out side of it, but with people. The villages population seems mostly human. The way the that people seem to be dressing makes it seem more like a medieval Japan. "I know that it seems old fashion but it is a pretty nice village.
