The days felt long in this place. Though it was a large settlement, complete with little dwellings outside the Manor where the Kuze family lived, there had always been few places to hide from Nyomi. Miyako had no doubt her wolf side gave her an advantage to finding her sister and, at first, she had always ran away and avoided confrontation with the orange mare. Nyomi had never given chase often, not seeing someone Miyako's young age as much of a threat she supposed. Now that she was fully mature, that was a different story.
Nyomi had been the only girl for a long time. Miyako understood why she felt like she was the best candidate to take care of the place and the two mares who lived there. Miyako had no desires to fight for control of that. She didn't want to lead a life dedicated to the shrine and dodging the malice of her sister. And since their mother was a ghost, that would be her entire life. She wanted to leave. To see what was out there. To get away from this craziness.
The white mare was picking her way through the walkways of the Manor, red eyes searching. She had some unfinished business before she left.
