Chapter 2: Red clothed Guy

"What are you thinking?!"

Winds are blowing wildly, this young man have his heated eyes. "Help me please"

He easily lifted me up and to my surprise, my brows crunched. Where on Earth am I? No more catacombs are surrounded in this same box.

We're on the middle of tall tress. "You're such a waste of time" says this man who helped me.

"Hey watch out!" We both fell on land, a huge bark of rotten trees are flying over us. " Why are you in it?" Asked the man. I was about to answer but to my surprise, Ms. Fea is burning up to her madness.

She's the one who throw the barks! "You know her?" I can't answer, I am shaking in fear. "She's turning to monster!" I urgently warn him. "Shut up! You're too noisy!" He shouted back.

He pushed me to the corner of the huge music box, I hitted my shoulder because of his force. The man pulled out a thin shiny sword. How can he fight with it?

I can't find the possibility of this man to win against the monster so I tried to reach for the top of the box.

"No one is coming back in that!" The monster flickered its tail and got me injured in my arms. "Give me your Orbit!"

My tears are starting to fall. Aren't that guy's here to help me? "Help me please" I asked the almighty.

The monster started crawling and I got nowhere to go. "Help me!" I cried once more.

"Please!" The man won't come to me, I think he'll never gonna help me. He's just staring at the thin sword waiting I guess I'll be facing it alone.

The monster keeps on growling, my tears are continuisly flowing. "Have mercy" I prayed.

*Shrrikkk*

My whole uniform was teared apart, revealing my underwear. I closed my eyes in shock, lights are coming from my chest! An old numbered clock was embroidered in my skin, glowing.

"HAHAHAHA" the monster laughed, slowly moving its nails to touch my skin. "AAHH!" I shouted because of unidentified pain.

*Pshingg*

An Intense red light flashed behind the monster, she turned herself to look for it. It was the guy's forehead that is shining with the written old alphabet in it.

His eyes are mad, his sword was changed.

"Don't dare to touch that lady" he's madly looking at my direction.

Blood sprinkled in my face, in just one moment, trees are dancing with wind , the figure in front of me fell into the ground, how disgusting! Later on it turned into ashes.

"What happened?" I asked to myself, I couldn't get up because of the scratches that I received.

The red lights disappeared and he's walking towards me. Lending his hands, my brows raised. " I'm Eloily" I said.

"Nah, I'm not asking for your name, your charge is five pieces of gold. Killing monsters aren't that easy, especially when this stupid dumb ass sword isn't working"

Wow. He's cool. Wait what?! Gold. "What? You don't have any golds?" His eyes are sticked to mine. I am breathing fast and deep, what is he thinking?

"Here, take my cloak, cover that please or maybe you'll want to pay me not with gold but other" he said. He made an annoying face while keeping his eyes on me.

"Pervert!" I slapped him as I slowly realized what he said. I run through the lights. While running, I didn't help but to think. Is this a dream? How could he carry such a big sword, it is ticker than me.

I soon stared at this place beyond the light. It is a paradise, many stalls are opened with foods.

"Kanji! There he goes!" Someone shouted pointing me his finger. Kanji who? The guy who saved me?

I knew it! He looks like a wanted criminal. I made my way to hide from those guy's who looks like vilains.

"Kanji! Hide here" I immediately run towards an old man who showed me a closed tent. I can hear the loud noice of armors outside, it is coming from the persons who's running for me.

I felt relieved and I got hungry for an old man gave me a bowl of noodles. "Don't look at me please" he's creeping beside me now.

I have to get out! "I saw him here!" Armed men came to me but I couldn't find my will to run. "Argh!"

"Don't try to run away, the emperor must be glad" one of them grabbed my hands and he's too strong. "Wait! I am not kanji!" They won't listen to me.

"I am not that Kanji you're searching for!"

"Be quiet criminal! The emperor wants yout head chopped" they easily lifted me up to carry me.

I also couldn't speak, the other guy covered my mouth with his dirty palm.

I calmed down as whe entered a big fences. My eyes got attracted to those men practicing their swords synchronizedly. While on our way, I felt a sudden release on my arms.

This is my time to escape! "Huh!" I kick to their stomachs and run away again. To the stalls with many people. I found my confidence here that I won't be easily catched again.

Their clothes are more llikely to have pigment than the place earlier outside. Do they have a laundry here? They are wearing ancient clothes, maybe a Chinese old clothes.

"Want to buy some?"

"Is this 5 gold value?"

"7 gold fixed"

So it's true? They use gold to buy and pay here. *Kru kru kru* I heard my stomach. I'm really hungry. "Kanji?" I stepped backwards, another old man touched my arms.

"Oh, it's you Kanji, come here my boy. You don't need to pay for this, eat" He's kind compared to the old man I met earlier.

I gulped and took a seat facing a bowl of rice dish. "Is that his name? The guy who's wearing a tinted red clothes and carrying a thin sword?" I asked and urged myself to eat.

"Yes, it is you Kanji, You're wearing a powerful tinred red clothes" he answered, how come? I am almost finished with the bowl and the old man gave me another bowl.

"You'll not run away again!" I got startled again by the two armed men. They are gripping on my arms. But it seems that they got their palm burned by touching my clothes.

Run Eloily! I hurriedly run away again through the palace. "Uhm, hi? Can you tell me the location of the Emperor?" I asked a beautiful girl, she's sitting beside a large tree.

She softly pointed her fingers in her right side. It is a small passage way to a door. I peeked first before entering, I couldn't see any armed men there.

"The emperor will kill us all if he'd find out that Kanji is missing" a man is walking away from me, I am now inside the Emperor's Palace? I took it as a chance to enter another room.

The room gave me chills as soon as I entered the door. "What the hell?" I immediately covered my own mouth. It is so dark.

There's a big tall hourglass here, surrounded by different weapons used in old times. Am I in the late years? Did I teleported from present to past?

They are all glowing, the first weapon is a sword, it looks exactly like kanji's, and a old character is written in front of it.

A Bow and arrow follows the sword, it has so much more weapons following it but I couldn't recognize it. While the hourglass has a crown with it.

I peeked again to check the armed men. Luckily, 3 men are marching they're going through a big hall.
