It had been a long day, and Anya fell asleep easily after they’d eaten the hearty stew that Sakura had brought for them. She resolved that in the coming days she’d learn how to cook in the small kitchen in the house, however – she didn’t want Sakura to feel like she had to do everything for her, even if the kitsune matriarch seemed to very much enjoy being a good hostess.

Kiba had offered to keep guard outside the house while she slept, but she’d assured him that she felt completely safe in the village, and besides, how long had it been since he had slept himself? He had therefore said he would sleep in the next room, but that she was to wake him if anything at all was bothering her, even if it was just the blanket being too light.

When the light streaming in through the window pressed on her eyelids, Anya woke, feeling well rested – a thought which surprised her when all things were considered. She tried to count back and see what day this would be back in her own world, wondering what she’d normally be doing right now, but with no idea how the timezones compared she gave up quite quickly.

She wondered what yokai clan leaders dreamt of, and what anxieties his mind was working through right now, while his body rested.

She dressed in her blue kimono, making a note to herself to find out how people washed their clothes here later. Then, realizing she didn’t have anything in particular that she had to do, Anya decided to revert to doing the thing she loved most – something she hadn’t been able to devote a single second to since arriving here. Taking the brushes, ink and papers she had taken from Shiro’s room just as the yokai attack had started, she stepped outside into the dappled morning light of the clearing where the house was set. She sat down cross-legged on the soft ground opposite it, and began to do an ink drawing of the little house – just as she’d told Kiba she’d been itching to do.

She had been at this for some time, lost in the focused yet serene act of trying to recreate something beautiful on paper (reveling in using
