Imagine two children huddled up behind some rocks and bushes at the edge of a camp in which several perhaps-not-exactly-humans are wandering around. Heavily armed as well. The children? Not so much. The red-headed girl with the tail has a simple staff, though both ends are weighted down with bands of iron and capped at each end with a solid metal clump as well.
"Okay." It's surprisingly quiet, for a whisper coming from a child trying to be sneaky. " We need to get him and then he can help you get back to Nanashi, which's the important thing, and then Xuanzang can have his horse back." Huashi huffs slightly, shaking strands of red hair out of her eyes to peer at the camp and the regal, white stallion tied in the center of it.
They'd been told to stay put along with the monk, of course. But then the demons hit and they had to scatter and when daddy and the other two came back without Xuanzang's horse, the kids were present but not the monk. So they'd been told to stay put, again, as the three left to save Xuanzang.
Again.
But Kotarou needed to get home, and the Goddess of Mercy had said only the Prince could take him home... and Huashi knew that meant Xuanzang's horse. Therefore, they needed to save him.
The boy, on the other hand, had nothing by way of weapons. He clutched a medium-sized rock in one hand that would probably just end up crushed to powder after even one blow against their armour, and he had a dog.
If he was honest, which he wasn't but let's pretend, he'd admit that the dog was going to be doing most of the work.
"How are we meant to do that?" He demanded, under his breath. He really didn't like the look of the camp guards. "Why can't someone else do it?"
"Well, they don't have bows, so we'll be fine there! We're just gonna run in, and you go for him and I'm gonna distract the guards! Though I suppose a distraction would be useful... daddy usually uses distractions..." Huashi frowned thoughtfully as she glanced around considering it.
There wasn't much, just half-open scrubland and a forest further behind them, a river winding past the camp down the incline beyond it.
"'Cause daddy, Bajie and Wujing have to rescue Xuanzang, and that can take a while. I really like that you're here, but you gotta get home, so we need to borrow Xuanzang's horse." All this was said in a hushed, excited whisper as she pointed to the white stallion in the camp.
It looked like a pretty normal horse, all told, if with a slight blue shine to its white coat and huge, limpid dark eyes. It was also chained to a boulder which had a ring struck through it which the chain was attached to. Curious thing to do to a horse, really.
Kotarou thought so too. "Why's it chained up like that?" He squinted at it, unable to tell if it really was glowing or not at this distance. Tobimaru whined as he leant a little too far forward from the shelter of the boulders, and he ducked his head back down. "If you want a distraction, Tobimaru can do that."
"Otherwise he'd stomp them silly and leave, of course! So they need that stupid chain, but I should be able to destroy it." Huashi squinted at the chain and hoped most of the obviousy magical chain had the magic in containing, not being too strong to break. Looking closely, one could barely see some shimmering kanji set around the manacle and down the links themselves every time the light fell just right or the horse shifted.
Looking over and down at Tobimaru, Huashi grinned and managed to soundlessly clap her hands.
"Oh, yes! I was gonna do something else, but I can save it in that case! Basically..." Another squint-eyed look at the camp and the guards and then turned to Kotarou and Tobimaru, brown eyes sparkling.
"You're probably hungry, Tobimaru, and they've got a nice bird cooking right there!" She grinned and then nodded to Kotarou. "I'm gonna circle around and use the tree over there," Huashi said and pointed to the large willow tree that stood halfway up the bank between camp and river. "I'm gonna do that right after Tobimaru starts running around, so they don't do anything if they get lucky, and when I do that you get to the horse, okay?" Huashi was crouched over, looking as serious as a usually very cheery, excitable girl could, scribbling a near-unintegible "plan" in the dirt between them.
