> Grip tightly to Kouyoshi's shoulders, and try to not tremble at the sight of the bat. Listen to its response.

> You tighten your grip on Kouyoshi's shoulders as you listen to the bat's response, trying not to quiver at the meer sight.
> "Many of us are here."  Its voice is gravely and raspy, and slightly choppy, as if it is having a great deal of trouble speaking.  "Four to each human in this village."
> "And what did you do with them?  Eat them?"  Kouyoshi's tail swishes back and forth.  "If you wanted Mayohiga back, the mere sight of you would've been enough to scare them off," she adds with a bitter chuckle.
> The bat's laugh is joined by a chorus of animalistic shrieks from the sidelines, but there is nothing to be seen.
> "One must not waste valuable resources...or potential tribe members."
> "We're not hoodlums!"  Kouyoshi stamps her foot on the ground and snarls.  "Surely you could've had a better approach than starting a fire in the middle of the forest!  How do we know the next time it's going to rain?!"

> Using the conversation as a distraction, you shrink behind Kouyoshi and pray that the bat doesn't see you.
> "More importantly, who was it that goaded you into this?"
> At this question, there is a wave of uproarious laughter.  When it calms down, you hear the bat answer:
> "A nine-tailed fox."
> Kouyoshi is dead silent.  Even her tail has gone still.
> "...Yeah, right.  A kitsune isn't going to get involved in someone else's territorial disputes," she finally hisses.
> "Neither would your kind!" a thousand voices call out.  You hear many flapping sounds and scraping against stone.  The sound of the fire is overridden by screeching.

> You cling to Kouyoshi even tighter.  There can't possibly be a thousand of those?!
> You've heard all sorts of stories about them: they're tricksters, both malicious and benevolent, servants of the god Inari, the lone woman you see at dusk, ancient and wise, shapeshifters, able to possess people, and extremely powerful on the youkai ladder, right up there with the likes of oni.  They're also known to be very, very rare: you don't think you've even seen a normal fox, let alone a youkai version of one.  To you, they're like some imaginary creature that could only really exist in your head.

> You steal a glance back at the well, and immediately regret it when you see all the youkai--not just bats--that have gathered.  Wolf-like youkai, monkey-like youkai, but just from a glance you can see they are not like those animals at all.  None of them are coming after you, however.

> Kouyoshi keeps walking until you can't feel the heat on your back anymore.  Instead, there's a cool wind.

> You take a look at your surroundings to find that you're back in the fields outside the village.  The fire seems to already be spreading out past the village itself.
> Kouyoshi sets you down on the grass and turns back to face the village.

> Kouyoshi claps her hands together, and sparks emit from between her fingers.  The sparks intensify as she rubs her hands together, but then she hesitates, and lets the lights die out.  Kouyoshi heaves a sigh and looks back at you.
> "What are we going to do with this one, now?" she muses.

> Aside from Mayohiga, you know of Youkai Mountain, a place crawling with youkai like tengu and kappa.  There's also the Forest of Magic, which is rumored to be popular amongst witches, even if there are youkai there, too.  Those are both places you know exist.
> As for more fairytale-like places, you've heard that the Sanzu River runs straight through Gensokyo, but it'd just take you straight to the afterlife.

> "Where?! Th-those youkai will just burn there, too!"
> What did our family ever do to them? We just lived there and protected the village, and they...

> What did your family ever do to them, anyway?  You were all just living peacefully and defending yourselves...
> "I'm not sure, but not all youkai are uncivilized like them.  A lot of us really do have humanlike forms, you know."  Kouyoshi ruffles your hair a little.
