It was some time later that Kyo returned to the lake, apprehension clear on her face. Meke had explained his plan to her, and it wasn't entirely to her liking.

The kashitarō kappa were known to be lecherous. Their plan was to use her as the bait to lure it near the shore. And so she had changed into clothes that would be less restrictive in the water, and left her bow on the shore. A knife was concealed underneath her shirt for safety.

She had let her hair down and waded out into the shallows of the lake, praying to the spirits that the kappa lured to her wouldn't be the kind as likely to bite her leg off as anything else.
