It was an early afternoon, bright yellow sunlight filtering down from a sky spotted with clouds, and slipping through in spades throughout the forest canopy. A beautiful sight, but one that was common and often taken for granted by those who have always seen it.<br/><br/>Yet, today was a day not like others--and under ordinary circumstances, the difference would be minor, trivial, not worth noting. Under Sakurai's past "employment", ordinary days would pretty much suck...and this is due to the life she was essentially forced to lead, as the servant of a perverted man with minor redeeming values. In her eyes, those values are tiny and pointless; there was almost no limit of things he'd do, or order to be done. Still, defiance allowed her to keep from breaking, to keep that will and press onward. Which leads to today, the not-so-similar day--because right now she was free. Her master grew complacent, and with his lack of vigilance, she took a big chance and bailed right the hell out of his house in that one moment of inattention.<br/><br/>She intends to stay free, as well, of course, but it won't be easy; it's not a secret exactly how possessive the master can get, and probably nothing would quite irritate him more than losing a favorite toy (read: slave) of his. Keeping as much distance between him and herself as possible is her absolute best bet, but it won't be enough on its own. No doubt, he has plenty of ideas for bringing her back to him...and he may not even have to lift a finger.<br/><br/>For now, The road that the succubus travels is heading towards the east, and this leaves Sakurai between cities--the one to the west is significantly larger, and as a main point of traffic for the region, has already received news of the fresh bounty. The east...well, that city was much smaller, but it might give her a fair chance, provided it doesn't have more of the same.
