Aeria quickly stopped once she heard her name and looked over at Koza with bright red eyes. "Hey! Back off! Yeah, don't try to help her! She's a monster and will kill us all! No matter what!" A few people from the crowd yelled at Koza. Aeria took her gaze away from Koza once one person swung at her with a sword, dodging it. She then walked over to Koza, ignoring the angry people who all glared. Aeria looked like she recognized Koza, but then suddenly that look disappeared and she pinned Koza to a wall with a growl. "I don't know you, back off." She then let go of him immediately when an arrow hit her in the leg. Aeria limped backwards a few steps before falling to the ground. The crowd didn't hesitate to flock around her in both pride and anger.
Yuko couldn't stand to watch this. It reminded him too much of his friend. Quietly, he turned and sneaked away. He returned to Koza's house, picking up the basket he had hidden from saya in the bushes near her house. Yuko then went to where the accident happened not too long ago and sat down on an empty dock by the water. He held the basket in his lap and stared out at the water, tears streaming steadily down his face. He had told her he wanted to protect her...and he had failed.
