Xiao Nai was sitting behind her, staring at the fire, his hand calmingly running through her hair.  Weiwei leaned against his legs, her gaze on the flames.  Yu banshan placed another log, in the fireplace, quickly glancing around the abandoned house.  A quick shelter for the night before they had to leave again.  Yu Banshan gazed at the two, his eyes catching the tattoo markings behind her ear.  

 “What is the half for?”  He finally asked.  Weiwei lifted her head.  She reached up to touched the slightly raised scars, giving a soft smile.  The images of her parents flashing before her eyes.  

 “Fox spirit.  My Father was a shaman, and my mother was a nine tailed fox.  He taught me magic, while she passed on her tails.”  Xiao Nai leaned over, placing a gentle kiss on her forehead.  

 “How did you escape?”  Xiao Nai gave him a warning look, but Weiwei slimpled, threaded her hand through his.  

 “Your General, the one you knocked out.  He was the reason I was able to.  He tried to...he attacked me, and I got away. A few moments passed.  Both men read into what she was saying.  Yu Banshan, reached up his left sleeve and grabbed his pocket knife.  Quickly tearing away the sewn on symbol of the government.  He took one last look at it before throwing it in the fire.  He turned to her smiling.  He hand reaching out.  

 “They’re monsters.”  He indicated to the burning patch.  

 “Not all of them.”  Weiwei grabbed his hand, smiling.  The enjoyed the moment of peace, knowing that tomorrow they were facing the bad together.
