The bus shook slightly as it passed from Main Street onto 2nd avenue. Soft music played over the radio, muffling the silence of the strangers underneath the radio's words. There weren't may people on at the time- an old woman, a businessman, and four teenagers.
One of them, a pale girl in formal wear sat in the back, holding her bag in her arms. She stared out of the window, scanning the faces of the people they passed.
"You're never going to find the Youma that way," a small voice whispered from beside her. Claire glanced sharply down at Kowo, and shushed him. The small creature somehow rolled its beady eyes and froze again, trying to pass as a stuffed animal. He- it- looked like a stuffed lion with wings, complete with a tiny crown.
Kowo sighed and, glancing at Claire, stealthily poked his head out to look around. He grinned, revealing tiny needle sharp teeth.
Claire glanced down, followed his gaze, and grabbed her pendant with a gasp.
A man threw himself in front of the bus, slamming into the windshield and rolling off. Everyone inside lurched forward as the bus came to a screeching halt.
"Found it," Kowo said.
