> "Uh..." Kouyoshi lifts her arm about an inch, and then grimaces.
> "About that much.."

> "It's fine if...you go for help..." Kouyoshi tries lifting her arm again, but it doesn't go very far before twitching and falling back.

> You retrieve your hakama from your bag, not wanting to use your bloodsoaked skirt. Kouyoshi shakes her head.
> "No, what I'm wearing is fine..."
> She then closes her eyes, and in a puff of smoke, she's gone. Or rather, she has turned into a small raccoon dog. It should be easier to carry her like this.

> Make sure we have everything before floating up. How far away is the Human Village?

> Yes, she's sort of underneath the shrine maiden clothes. Those will need repairs, too.
> You make sure you've gotten everything, including Kouyoshi's hat, and then wrap up Kouyoshi herself and pick her up. You float up and try to look for the Human Village from here, but you'll probably have to travel farther to get to it. The load you're carrying won't make it a quick trip, either, but the sun doesn't look like it's about to set.

Fly fly and then fly some more.

Tired.

Try not to get lost.

Try not to get lost.

> You start flying, flying away from the clearing, over the small lake and the shrine, and then over the forest.
> You fly until you really start to feel the burden of all of your items and Kouyoshi, and start to descend slowly into the trees. You don't want to get lost, and you can at least still see the shrine from here, but you don't remember how to get back to the Human Village.

> The shrine might be your best bet for now.
> Ok.
> Kouyoshi is still somehow able to speak to you, despite not being in her human form.
> You float back to the shrine, slowly. Fortunately, you get back without incident, and find yourself standing on the cobblestone pathway again.

> You limp to the shrine, your legs burning with each step. You finally get through the doors, and then try to remember if there was a futon here.
> You honestly can't remember, but if there were clothes, there would have to be a futon somewhere.

> Stumble our way to that room where we found the clothes and look for a futon.

> You trudge on into the room where the clothes and the photo were, and deposit Kouyoshi on the floor. You then start poking around for a futon, eventually reaching another drawer in the wall.
> You do find futons here, although they're dusty; it's obvious they haven't been used in a very long time.

> Dusty's better than nothing. Try to dust it off as best as we can, lay it out, and put Kouyoshi inside.
> "Maybe... maybe if I rest, I can find the village..." Lay down next to tanuki-Kouyoshi.

> You'd rather sleep in a dusty futon than no futon at all. You set it up nevertheless, tucking Kouyoshi between the covers.
> You lay down, feeling the immense relief of taking pressure off your legs. You can find the village after resting, definitely.
> Yeah. Kouyoshi, still bundled up, stares up at the ceiling.

Not yet. Plus, we're not trying to sleep. We're just going to "rest our eyes" for now.

> You must have fallen asleep.
> You take a look around. The sun is lower in the sky, probably starting to set. Kouyoshi is still in tanuki form and fast asleep. She looks rather silly.
> You think you hear some chattering coming from outside the shrine, as well as footsteps coming from other rooms.
