Blue Eyes
"stop hitting me." Jio rubs his head
"so stop making fuss" Yoka sit up in the bed,. Looking at Jio
"Did you sleep here last night?" Yoka fold his blanket and put it on the pillow, get down from his bed.
"Yes I did..." Jio remembered about last night, looking at Yoka blankly he didn't realized that right now Yoka is now staring back at him
"You came because you heard me crying? Did Mikan ask you to stay with me?" Yoka casually asks, he didn't seem embarrassed or wanting to hide his weakness
" Yes he did..." Jio just answer the questions without any intention to ask more questions, Mikan told him about this matter last night so nothing to ask, that's what's on Jio mind.
"But why did he ask you to stay with me? Usually, he is the one who stayed with me" Yoka fixing his clothes after changing them to the new one in the changing room that separated by a traditional partition, as usual he looks gorgeous with his slim, tall body
"He had to stay with Wellan..." Jio stood up to go down with Yoka too
"Ahh that girl. I forgot that we hear her with us"
They go downstairs, there's Mikan and Wellan in the kitchen cooking breakfast, Mikan is the best cooker in the house after Uncle Ho and Yoka is the worst.
"good morning..." Yoka greet them.
"Good morning you two... how are you Yoka?" Mikan knows that Yoka sometime got headache from crying in the night but today he looks fine
"I'm okay...oh, hi Wellan, how is your first night here?" Yoka continue
Uninteresting with the conversation, Jio just goes directly to join Uncle Ho watering the plants in the yard. Curious about his sword and Yoka's sword which have the same diamonds, he also thinks about his ability of seeing others diamond on their weapons, is it just to Yoka or to everyone?
"good morning uncle Ho"
"hi... good morning Jio, want to help?"Uncle Ho pointing at one more watering in the storage
Jio go to take it, fill it with water and joining Uncle Ho watering.
"Uncle Ho... do you know the colours of Yoka's diamond he had on his sword?"
"of course I know... why? You want to know?" they are having conversation while both busy moving their hands to spread the water
"Oh!! So you can see it too?" Jio is expecting.
"huh? No, I can't see it" Uncle Ho stopped a second, looking at Jio then put the watering can to the ground and place his hands on the waist, he is ready for another interesting story from Jio.
"But you say you know the colour" Jio disappointed.
"Ha ha ha ha.....of course I know, he told me about it...what do you expect?" Uncle Ho laughing,"Why asking such a question? Is something happened yesterday?"
Jio frowns from thinking hard
"He can see the diamond on my sword, and he both said him and mine is in similar shapes and colours" Yoka appears from behind.
Uncle Ho thinks a while then stretch his hand out, In flash his sword appears.
"How about mine? Can you see it too?"showing the sword to Jio, uncle Ho really expects something from Jio's ability. Nobody was able to see those diamonds on someone else's swords but now this kid coming with strange ability.
"uncle... I'm sorry, but I see nothing on your sword... I mean there is no diamond there, maybe I can only see yours and mine because they look the same!" Jio shakes Yoka shoulder.
"I think you really special, indeed there's no diamond on my sword at all..." Uncle Ho saves the sword then do the same movement again, this time another sword is showing.
"How about this?" uncle Ho just wanted to make sure that Jio is able to see everything's there
"This one...woaaahhhh uncle!! woahhhh I can't believe this!" Jio get excited by himself.
"what? What do you see?" Yoka is getting curious.
"That green diamond looks so beautiful... Goodness... I can't believe this, so what is special about this ability? Why just me?"
"We don't know either... we have to be more careful and watch everything throughout. There might be something about this" uncle Ho also wondering why only now this Jio comes with this ability
"Let's have breakfast" Mikan looks so beautiful today with his another pink modern kimono clothes.

"I swear I saw her at the market yesterday" an old lady confirming her answer to the cops.
"Are you sure that was this girl?" the cops show her the picture again, next to them is the mother of the missing girl, her face looks so tired and sad.
It's been 2 days since her daughter suddenly gone missing after her mom sent her to buy some foods ingredients to the shop next to their apartment location. The problem getting thick when the mom also found out about that news of one of their residence, a young man also gone missing few days before her daughter.
At the police station
"Do you think this is kidnapping case? But what is the relations between that girl and young man who was missing before?"one of the young cops asks his team investigation leader.
"We can't make a conclusion yet, after from the store there's no way she goes to somewhere else, she doesn't bring her phone and her clothes according to her mum...just those casual house clothes, if she goes somewhere...no...Wait!Is there any CCTV along the way she might be walked on her way home?" the team leader forgot to check those CCTV, they just check the apartment and the store CCTV
"Oh?! I think I can go to check it tomorrow" one more young cop with spiky hair passionately answers, he is a fresh graduated.
"Okay, Bin... you can go with him tomorrow" the leader wants two people to go.
"yes sir!"
*******"
After having their breakfast, Yoka once again preparing to go out this time he wants to go without companions
"Uncle Ho... I'm leaving again today" Yoka perfectly complete with the weapon and his backpack ready to go
"Going alone? Where is Jio?"Uncle Ho enjoying his tea
"I want to go alone today" Yoka softly speaking his persistent.
Uncle Ho smiles "Yoka...Do you remember that day? When did you meet met me in the empty building on the North side of the city? That day I refuse to bring Leio with me because I thought he would just be a burden to me but then he appears and saved me from the great monsters at the North, he just appears from nowhere jumped in front of me to protect me from the stabbing...That day is the worst for me, if I bring him along with me, if we both fight together with those monsters...Maybe he will be here with us or back to the real world," Uncle Ho tells the story that Yoka witnesses by himself.
Yoka from his hideout witnesses the rage of Uncle Ho made after seeing one of the friends, Leio died from protecting him. Uncle Ho took Leio sword, and he was using two swords to kill those monsters who took his friend life.
That's why Uncle Ho has two swords. The other one is Leio sword.
Yoka in silence, he just feels uncomfortable to be with Jio.
"we promise him that we will help him to get out from here, am I wrong?" looking at doubtful Yoka, uncle Ho sips his tea.
Only a sigh comes out from Yoka then he obediently go up to Jio room to bring him along.
Knock knock!!!
No answers from inside, no sign someone coming to answer the door
Knock Knock!!!
"Jio... can I come inside?"
still no answers, Yoka curiously push the door and there's Jio standing tall, looking outside the window
"hey... I'm going out again today... uncle Ho wants you to come with me" Yoka sits on the chair near the bed.
No answers from Jio, he still there unmoved
"dude...are you listening?" Yoka stood up, curiosity in his head about this guy keep arose, standing like that but don't want to speaks...what the heck!
Yoka gets closer then touch Jio on the shoulder " hey... if you don't want to come, I can tell uncle Ho" Yoka stands beside Jio and just continue speaking without looking at Jio
Still no answers...
Yoka turn his head to look at Jio....what the heck!!
"Hey...are you sleeping while standing?!" Yoka got to see Jio's eyes are closed but firmly standing "oh my goodness, you must a sleepwalker" Jio tries to bring him to his bed but his body just can't be moved, like his feet stuck on the floor.
"Goodness, what should I do to wake him..." Yoka stopped and focus on Jio's closed eyes.
Just then his eyes opened!!
And the colour of his eyes is flaming bluely!!!
Yoka steps back out of shocking "What's now?"
