Yuki Miyako

Yuki misplaced things often. Which is why no one would quite be able to comprehend why it came as such a shock when she couldn't find any of her items. Each time she visited some place, she would take some thing and leave it at the next. She called it convenient. Others would call it a reason for her to feel proud whenever she re-found it. But when she began to retrace her steps she realized she could not find ANYTHING. Chip's feather she had plucked from him the night they met, a rose she had stolen from a woman's grave at the cemetery.. Every thing was missing. She waited for the tears that did not come, even though she had nothing to account for her many travels. In her hollow head, only one explanation was logical. Some one had stolen them. There were only two reasons why she didn't stay up all night plotting revenge: One, her paws could not hold a pen to keep track of her ideas. And two, she needed to gather up more items before the thief took all the ones that were worthy. This is why she ended up in Millstone.

In her opinion, destinations were not worthy of names. They could all be identified with a simple "That place with the water every where" or "The cave with bat guano everywhere". She followed the rocky trail, her paws on the verge of bleeding in protest to her over working of them. She barely noticed as she got a splinter in the bottom of her foot, and didn't even turn her head to check on the bee sting she had just gotten on her behind. She was on a mission. The cool air nipped at her nose when the sky had darkened and the squirrels looked at her strangely when she passed by them for the third time, just now realizing she had been walking in a circle. Eventually she found her way to Millstone. It wasn't exactly what she was looking for, but she knew that the humans had probably left some thing valuable here, just as they had in the city. "Only one item is worthy.." She quickly became aggravated when she searched four houses only to find nothing. She had passed beautiful vases, diamond rings, and other things humans would find valuable. But they meant nothing to her. Finally, when she passed the chapel; she could feel a special item calling to her.

A statue of a woman that had once been worshipped by humans laid face down on the floor, "Heck I'd push her over if she allowed my species to die out, too." She joked dryly. Underneath one of the benches some thing caught her eye. It was a small cross, only about two times the size of her paw. The mice under the seat scattered as she reached her paws under to drag pull the cross closer to her. It seemed to be made of teak, the letters "J E S U S" could barely be made out on the back, obviously carved in by an armature. She picked up the object with her teeth, trying to hold it carefully so she would not penetrate her new treasure. "Should I ever need to slay Vampires.. I will be prepared" She said proudly. And sadly enough, she believed one day, it could happen.
