Where is the peace (15)
It took Klein quite awhile to finally reach that small room. By that time he had already put most of the people in this place to sleep, while that small room was rather quiet.
Klein pushed the door open, he paused his step and look at the eeriely dark room, he cover his nose for a bit, trying to get used to the strong smell of blood coming from the inside of the room.
After a long time, Klein can faintly see the figure of a person, sitting at the corner most of the room.
Klein put down his hand, took a deep breath, and walked in, slowly and steady toward that figure. He avoided the bodies on the floor and he stopped just infront the person.
He seemed to be trembling as he stared at the floor, with both his hands were covering his ear. Ran were floating not far from him, he seemed to be stunned in shock too.
Sighing, Klein can guess what had just happened, seeing how the wig that Miran wore had fallen off, his dress were in a mess, those guys probably had tried to do something immoral toward Miran.
"Miran, come, let's go." Klein squatted Infront Miran, put his hands on Miran trembling hands, and said that softly. "Let's go" He repeated.
Miran looked at Klein after he heard the second time, "Klein...?" He seemed bewildered and also confused.
"Yes, it's me Klein" He gently take Miran hand, put them together to warm them up. "I'm here to take you back, to our school." He said, he changed his mind in bringing Miran to the castle after seeing how affected Miran is.
"No more to the castle?" Miran asked, "but won't you be punished if you don't complete your mission?"
"I'll be fine." Klein stood up, and pulled Miran up, and he also take the stunned Ran and put inside his pocket.
Though he was still trembling, he held into Klein hand firmly and stood up. He feel that Klein would not try to force him to do something he does not want to, so he follow Klein to return to town.

Back at the inn, Miran was hugged by Shina when he is back, while Ryan asked Klein what happened, though his eyes shows that he did not really believe Klein.
Nevertheless Klein adjusted the story for a bit, and told them that Miran was kidnapped and coincidentally he saw that incident happening. So he followed them and struggled to save Miran when he had to face a lot of people.
Also he explained that he was late because he lost sight of them when they were going through the forest.
Ryan was skeptical and stare at Klein, and then went to Miran. He check Miran with a worried face, and seeing that Miran was not injured, he sighed a relieved sigh.
Miran looked at the floor after they finish inspecting him. He understands why Klein did not explain about what he did in that small room, and he feel grateful to Klein.
----
That night, Miran was unable to sleep as he lay in the bed, looking at both his hand in a daze. He felt as if this situation has happened to him before, and the action that he did in that room is giving him a very familiar feeling.
Ran sat by the pillow and watched Miran, he had something he wanted to ask, but then he feels that it was unnecessary to ask. But the blank eyes when Miran attacked those guys were making Ran feel as if there will be something wrong that are going to happen.
----
The next day, as Klein promised before, he had told Ryan and Shiba that he will bring Miran back to school. He also promised them that he will watch over Miran.
Though reluctant, they agreed but will still follow Klein in bringing Miran back to school. And thus the went back to the previous town, and it took them quite a few days until they arrive there.
Miran had to go see their classroom teacher, and he explained to the teacher that he got a sudden family emergency and had to promptly took a sudden leave.
With the confirmation from Ryan and Shina as his guardian, the teacher let it go about Miran missing so many days if the classes. He only advice Miran to try his best to catch up to the class by reading more book.
As for Klein, after he safely bring Miran back to the school, he went out for a few days and only returned after 3 days.
Shina and Ryan went back to the the house that they stayed at, and will take their time off to once awhile come to check on Miran.
----
On one night during the full moon, Miran went out, he leave Ran in his room and jumped out of the school fence. He wore black cloak and plain clothes as he went to the town.
He walked and walked around, watching the lively people during the night time. He paused his step when he saw some unruly man harrassing the women.
He walked towards the men, and stood behind them, a few second later, he walked away.
"Mn~ this feeling, it's such a satisfying feeling. How nice." Miran muttered while walking to the next street. While where those men and women are, the woman screamed, catching the attention of the surrounding people.
The men who was harassing her earlier, were now on the floor in a pool of blood, they had become a dead man.
The patrol soldier of this town ran over and checked the body, they found that they all was missing one organ, which is their heart. As for that blood, they seem to bleed to death, probably their body was in chaos with the missing heart, thus unable to function properly.
----
Laying on bed, he stare at the ceiling while the light from the full moon came through the window. His eyes seemed empty, but his expression seemed peaceful.
Ran hugged himself into a ball while trembling, he did not dare to look at Miran, and he stayed as quietly as he could. Looking at the empty bed opposite of him, he wished for Klein to come back soon.
