Tamako found that the earth was coming towards her. She was simply falling. She had tripped over a rope that was laid out to stop her from chasing her competitor. Tamako rolled across the ground. The strap that held the spear to her back fell off and her spear laid meters from her. She felt a groan escape her lips as she was slammed against a log. Staggering to get onto her knees, Tamako rubbed the back of her head. She felt her chest to make sure the whistle was still around her neck. Feeling that it was still safe between her breast inside her shirt. She let out a sigh of relief. The leaves started to crack around her. Tamako got to her feet hearing the feet of others. She found herself surrounded by males.They weren’t very tough, or lanky. They seemed more like a joke than thugs. However, their personalities did reflect how they wanted to be treated.

“Looks like we got here a keeper.”

“Do you see what she is wearing?”

“Oh look she is bleeding a little.”

Tamako felt her forehead, and sure enough she was bleeding from her forehead. She looked at her where her blood was. Looking at her new found friends, Tamako reached for her spear and took ahold of it. They just laughed at the girl. She had no threat to them. All of them just seemed to sneer and think about inappropriate thoughts. Until she began to speak,

“Oh my! Oh my! What have we got here? It seems that I have company. Hey-o! My name is Tamako!”

As she talked she did a little wave and a cute smile. Her eyes were filled with love and admiration. There was no killing intent, there was no blood lust. There was only this pink, fluffy kindness around her. The men couldn’t help, but find the girl like a child. She certainly acted like a child. They let down their guard, the closest one to the female, was stabbed through the chest with the spear. She had done a thrust straight for the chest.

“Ahhh. I am so sorry, but I am a bit in a hurry.”

The men felt something weird inside of them. That cute, pink atmosphere had disappeared. A deep black and red feeling aroused through the clearing. It was like they were seeing things. Bloodlust filled the air like a plague. She had her whistle in her mouth and she blew on it. Suddenly, something came behind one of the men. Ripping out its throat and eating its vocal cords and esophagus. Loki had been following Tamako, but far enough to just observe its love. Tamako took her spear from the man's chest and splattered the blood on the leaves.

There was only three men left. Fear shook their bodies, but that did not mean they weren’t going to not fight. They would fight. It was how this world was now. Either be killed or kill, however, they never believed that until they met this girl. Their whole philosophy one the world changed. One male reached in his pocket pulling out a pistol, only to find that the wolf had its mouth over his arm right when he pulled it out. He let out a terrible scream, as the wolf chewed on his wrist.

Another male pulled out his cleaver. He ran straight at the wolf, making Tamako intervene. She clicked her tongue and let out a “tsk, tsk.” Tamako swirled around and slashed the man's side. He felt the blood come from his wound. The wolf left go of the man's hand when he dropped the gun. Tamako then picked up the gun and aimed it at the last remain looking male. He seemed perfectly fine other than the wet spot between his legs. Tamako fired 3 shots at the man missing him each time.

“I’m not very good at shooting a gun. You must forgive me.”

This was the beginning of Tamako.

With another shot she got him in the leg. With this she felt that she did enough damage. Tamako looked at her competitors. They didn’t want to get back up. “Loki lets go get my change bag back.” She rewrapped her spear head in the brown sack. She began to walk away from the fallen men.

Tamako was finding this trip tiring. Loki was losing the smell of the thief. finding it harder to hold on to reality due to the hunger in her stomach. Her vision was getting blurry due to the hunger. "It doesn't help that I didn't eat yesterday either." They were climbing over the mountains looking for that thief. He was fast, but not as fast as Tamako. She was high on his trail. The moon started to get high above the sky and the smell was fading. Tamako relaxed besides a tree. She looked at her companion, who was now fading into the trees. He would go search for food for them.

Tamako laid down on the ground and huddled herself up. She wasn't worried about animals. The smell of Loki would drive most of them away. She smelt of wolf, and most animals were afraid of wolves. There were no dreams, just darkness as she slept. Around the crickets chirped. Loki came moments later. He had a small bunny in his mouth. He put it down on the forest ground. He nudged Tamako to wake up. 'Tamako.. I have food. You need to eat. Wake up please.' When she wasn't waking up Loki felt an intense fear raise up in his stomach. He flipped the girl over and listened to her breathing is was getting shallow. He picked Tamako up by her dress and looked around. He would need to find someone to help him.

Loki got her on his back and began to ran along the forest, not even caring for the thief’s smell. He just needed to find someone. He got to the edge of the mountain. By now it was dawn. She let out a howl. At the door. The door opened and there was a small girl. She looked at the wolf. Loki set down Tamako in front of the house. Tamako’s stomach growled, the little girl shut the door. Making Loki panic just ever so slightly. Then came out a grown woman. When she saw Tamako, she admittedly picked up the hungry female. With that, they were inside and Loki was outside. Too big for the house.

Loki looked around finding that he had gone to the ground part of the island. He could smell foul scent of garbage, bodies. It was a place that someone shouldn’t live in. However, this small house was on the rim of it all. Where they going to treat Tamako okay? He wasn’t sure, but he needed to have Tamako eat something.
