Kinu put her hand in front of her eyes, shielding them from the sudden sunlight. She took her hands down from her face, getting used to the light. She kept walking, looking for an inn, or an abandoned house in good shape. She spotted a sign saying, "Welcome To Mountain-view."
~Huh. Well, i guess there should be an inn around here somewhere. She spotted the sign to the inn, saying "Mountain Palace." ~That seems safe enough...~ She walked in, and went over to the counter.
"Hey,"she said to the inn-keeper,"Can I get two rooms for some traveling adventurers?" "Sure, we give free rooms to travelers. Its the two at the end of the hall, up the staircase. If you need anything else, just give a holler" the inn-keeper. "Thank you!"Kinu said happily. She took the keys to the rooms, and walked out to get Seiun. "Hey, Seiun! I got us some rooms for the night! Come on,"she said happily.

Seiun gratefully followed, quite happy to be truly alive and safe at this point. She remembered the inn back at her town...
...She wondered how it was doing. Surely, they can't have destroyed everything, otherwise with the term of the contract broken, the demon would unseal immediately, whether it wanted to stay or not. They didn't seem like they were lying about that one...but even then, Seiun was not sure. In any case, she wasn't going to worry them until she gets back to normal. Then maybe she can go home and see everyone again...
But now, it was time to relax. However, this was an inn. There was a possibility that the demon side of Seiun could have been seen by at least one of them (and due to the demon side of Seiun being a mass murderer and town destroyer, this was all too possible. So relaxing only possible due to not knowing this.
So of course, relaxation. It was certainly something needed now, of all times.
"Coming~"
And she followed, almost tripping on her own dress as she went up the stairs.

"Be careful Seiun!"Kinu said quickly before taking Seiun's hand so she wouldn't trip. "Come on, the room's right upstairs. Our rooms are right next to each other, so if you need anything, feel free to ask, okay?" She led Seiun up the stairs, then gave her the room key. "Again, if you need anything, i'm going to keep my room door unlocked so just come in and ask," Kinu said happily. She unlocked her door and walked into the room.

(Elsewhere, close by but not at the inn)
(Honoo: Paper...NO, I will not burn the paper. Until I'm done reading it...it's a good thing I learned to do that. I hadn't even knew how to read until a small while ago.* Let's see...wanted...appearance, long silver hair...looks like a nice lady, maybe that's why someone wants her...oh, wanted for mass-murder...? No way. I think I'll check with her, if I can find her...** Now where would she be...hm...well everyone needs a place to sleep...oohh, I know~***)
Meanwhile, back at the ranch inn...
Seiun quickly took the hand, and managed to keep herself from tripping anymore, and a nod of understanding when Kinu said what she did. When she heard that their rooms would be next to each other, Seiun was once again happy. She also felt safer, despite that there was not much else to protect from. Perhaps she still felt insecure. The demon surely had gotten to her head, even though it can't function at the moment.
"Ok, thank you~"
And Seiun walked into her room as well, keeping the door unlocked just like Kinu did.
(Honoo: An inn~ I'm so smart~****)
Did the temperature just climb 5 degrees?
*(Most fairies can't read. This goes to show that she's a smart fairy...which still doesn't say much.)
**(Point exactly. That's it, speak with the mass-murderer.)
***(Because a mass-murderer would sleep there.)
****(No, just lucky.)

Wow. Did it just get warmer??? Kinu took off her jacket, setting it on the bed. She looked out her window, and over the many towns below. ~Great view...~she thought quickly, ~but something seems off....~ She opened her door and looked down the hall, seeing a strange spot of red...? ~Oh, that's someone's hair. Silly me,~ she thought, scolding herself. She noted the hair, it didn't look like it was dyed........ and her dress looked like lava. Kinu walked back into her room. She didn't want to seem suspicious, and wanted to be nice to everyone. She knocked on the door to Seiun's room. "Hey, I'm going down to get something to eat. Anything you want?"

Seiun was comfy at the moment, but almost felt like hurling when she mentioned food. Did she mention the demon was a carnivore? Seiun managed to respond without sounding like she was going to do exactly that. Which she wasn't, thankfully. As long as she didn't think about food.
"No, I'm fine~"
The fairy noticed the person inside the window, and continued to talk to herself.
"Silver hair...close, but it doesn't match, that looks more white. I never knew paper could be so useful~ But, I have to check everywhere, as I have to know what's going on~"
Did the fairy know that she had to pay to get in a room? Nope. She was mostly ignorant of civilization. Heck, she didn't have any money on her, as it would have melted or burned.
She eventually walked in the inn door, and if she wasn't met by anyone there, she would make her way upstairs and check the first door she saw. Of course, this would end up being the wrong door...
The temperature rose again. It certainly got hotter, due to the fact she was a fire fairy*.
*(Meaning yes, she's 'hot'.)

"Oh, okay." Kinu walked towards the counter, walking right past the person with the orange-ish hair. She walked up to the inn-keeper. "Can I have some water please?" she asked politely. "Oh, sure. Water's always on the house," the inn-keeper finished. "Thank you! Thank you for everything." she finished politely. She walked up the stairs and into her room just before the faerie (she seemed like a faerie) started to walk up the stairs. She took her hair out of its pony tail, and opened the water bottle before starting to brush her hair. She took a sip of water after she finished (very quick brushing) and with her hair still down walked over to her door. She looked out through the door to see the fae at the door across the hall. She backed up so she was back at her bed, and sat down drinking her water and thinking.

As Kinu passed Honoo, it got incredibly hot. If it wasn't obvious before, it was certainly certain that Honoo was the source of it. It was amazing the newspaper she had* didn't burst into flames.
And up Honoo went, moving fast enough to see an open door. Now how was she going to speak to a...non-fairy?
...
By talking to them. Duh. **
Honoo walked in the room Kinu was in (ignoring the fact she was busy thinking or otherwise) with the piece of paper in her hands, and held it up to show a picture of Seiun, eyes glowing like they were when she was a demon. Then, Honoo spoke.
"Have you seen this person? I was wondering where I would be able to find her...***"
Yep, this was going to be awkward. She seemed curious**** enough when asking, but still, awkward.
In the room, Seiun finally got the sleep that had escaped her for so long. It was certainly hard to get to the ponit she could sleep, but when she did, she was out like a light. She would even probably get up like a normal human being when she woke up, giving no one else wakes her.
*(More serious than a tengu newspaper, or so everyone but the tengu say.)
**(Of course.)
***(Where IS the mass-murderer?)
****(Typical of faeries.)

"Yes, I have, but you probably shouldn't disturb her right now. She's getting her first real night of sleep in months. What do you want to see her for?" Kinu asked. She thought of the eyes in the picture of Seiun the fairy had. They were the eyes of the demon. "Is this about the demon inside of her?" she asked worried.

Honoo knew nothing. When she said that, Honoo became even more curious, but managed to keep quiet long enough to hear the rest.
She certainly knew nothing about a demon. Heck, she thought there was some other reason her eyes looked weird.
"Huh? Demon?"
Yep, she was clueless.*
"All I know is that some people wanted her for mass-murder, and I wanted to talk to her.**"
...Yep, clueless.
*(Typical of faeries.)
**(Sigh...)

~Yup, that would be the demon,~ Kinu thought, annoyed at the fact people didn't tell this fairy that it was all the demons fault. "Yes, that would be the demon. It isn't her fault though. It was sealed inside of her," she said sadly. It probably ruined her life. She looked up at the fairy. "I really don't think that Seiun is a mass murderer, at least not consciously. The demon in her used to raze towns from what I heard when I first met her."

...!
Hey, this reminded Honoo of the stone that was kept inside her. It was sort of like the demon inside her, only it didn't have a personality, but it was still destructive at heart. The fact Honoo knew what Kinu meant was another sign of being a smart faerie.
"...Oh. I knew there was something odd going around here...But, if she looks like one to everyone else, and there's a wanted poster of her on the newspaper, doesn't that mean...*"
Oh boy, things just got more complicated. Certainly, some people were dumb and brash and/or blinded by justice to listen to reason, and things would take a rather bad turn.
Speaking of all that, the people here might not have read the newspaper. Oh boy.
*(Yep. But how did you figure that one out?)

Jeez. Some people! "Okay, two things. One, I didn't read the news and neither did Seiun. Two, she doesn't usually look like that. The people who wrote that don't know how nice she is when she isn't possessed, She really is a nice person, but if you want to get rid of the real problem you could help us unseal the demon inside of her." Kinu put the water on the bedside table, and walked back to sit on the bed.

On the first subject, Honoo could only say one thing, really. The second one seemed to require some more explaining*, but she would be glad to help them out if only because she was curious enough to give it a shot.**
"Ok, though other people that read the news might think differently. And as for helping...sure, why not~"
She still sounded curious.
*(Yep, faeries explaining things. Not typical of faeries.)
**(But this is.)

~Yay,~Kinu thought happily. She knew that though they still probably couldn't do much now with Seiun being asleep, and knowing they probably couldn't do anything to unseal the demon while she was asleep, there really wasn't that much they could do at the moment.
"Well, with Seiun being asleep and all, there really isn't much we can do, so for now I guess we can just relax. Did you know they give free rooms to travelers?"
