Chapter 3: Chapter 3
While they're walking on the streets, heading to an inn. Kuro glances at her and asked, "Kagemia are you tired?"
"Yes mister... Just a little bit tired" Kagemia said.
Kuro sat down in the middle of the road and says,"Sit on my back... I'll carry you till we get there!"
"Mister... I can still walk on my own!" Kagemia said.
"No!" Kuro said.
"But, Mister-" Kagemia said.
"No, means... No!!" Kuro kept annoying her till she finally sat on his back.
Kagemia couldn't stop blushing as they walk down the streets in that position, "Mister... This is kinda embrassing, would you put me down.. please??"
Kuro was thinking of something that time, (I look like a father whose carrying his daughter... It's kinda embrassing but, she's really tired... Guess I can't help it.) But soon he realized that Kagemia is saying something, although because of thinking about how he looks like while carrying Kagemia. That's why he didn't heard what she said, "Kagemia! Wait, did you just said something..??"
"Nothing" Kagemia said, while pouting.
"Oh, well..."
They were walking for about 20 minutes while asking everyone in the streets they've gone, and realized that they're halfway from the inn, "We're a little bit closer to the inn... Hang in there"
... That being said, when he looked at her she's already sleeping on his back peacefully, "AaAAaH!... She fell asleep" Kuro glance at her, (she must be really tired from what happened... Guess I'll just wake her up, once I get there.)
Kuro continues to walk down the streets, and saw a store shop which is filled with souvenirs. "Hmmm... Guess I'll just buy some souvenirs for her.." as he stares at the shop.
In front of the shop. a young woman, wave her hand at Kuro as she says, "Welcome!?"
Kuro ignores her and head inside the shop, knowing that he's in a hurry.
That shop was filled with a bunch of items like, toys, plushie, souvenirs, and etc.
As he walked inside, a bunch of workers welcomed him with a smiles on their faces, "Welcome"
Kuro ignores them as he went to look for a souvenirs, then he found a hair clip that has a different styles, (it's hard to choose one... What should I get for her... Damn, I can't just wake her up just to ask if what she likes.)
Types of clips Kuro saw in that shop are- [Bobby Pin, Claw Clip, Snap Clip, Classic Hinged Barrettes, Banana Clip, Double Prong Curl, Alligator Clip, Duckbill Clip, Bobby Pin]
"Hmmm, there's so many of them... I can't choose what to get... Hmmm, maybe that will do?!" Kuro grabbed the Classic Hinged Barrettes- Black colored clip, And said.
After that, he went to the owner and brought it. And walked outside.
After 20 minutes of walking, he soon reached the inn which is beside the Pet shop. And wake her up, "Kagemia... We're here! Wake up!"
"Oh... It's you, Mister! Good morning" as she yawn like a cat in a middle of day.
(That's so fucking adorableee?!?!) Kuro blushes as he found her sound really cute.
"Ummm... You can now put me down, Mister?!" Kagemia face turns bright red as she said.
...
"Oh... Sorry" Kuro gently put her down, as he prevent looking directly at her eyes and said. As they avoid any direct eye contact with each other.
Kuro changed the subject by saying, "This inn was really big isn't it... Kagemia??" As he smile.
Kagemia did what Kuro have done as well, "you're right... Mister, hehe"
(This is awkward...) As he glances sideways.
"Well then, how about we head inside?-
"Let's head inside... Mister?-
...
Both of them couldn't stop their selves from getting embarrass, by speaking at the same time. and what's inside their minds after knowing they spoked at the same time is nothing but them saying, (ehh!!!) In their minds in a loud voice.
As they stares at each other, Everyone walks in the streets and see them. Couldn't stop their selves from laughing.
[Hahahaha!... What the hell is that, A comedians!?]
[You're right! Hahahha!]
Kuro and Kagemia starts to sweath as they stare at each other, "We should head inside... Now, Kagemia"
"You're right... Mister" Kagemia said, as her face turns bright red.
Everyone in that streets where they're standing earlier, Keeps laughing as Kagemia and Kuro went inside the inn.
After they walked inside. An old man, greets them with a smile on his face and says, "Oh... Customers!... Would you like to get a room..? It'll be only 27 copper!"
Kuro stares at him while Kagemia is still bothered of what happened to them, outside the inn, (hmm, 27 copper, I never though I would find a nice room that has cheap prize... Too bad we're only staying here for a night...)
The inn was a 2nd floor house, and has a tough looking walls and good looking decorations as well yet the rent is only 27 copper for a night.
"Then... Give us one room!" Kuro said.
"Thank you!" As the owner gently gave the key to Kuro and said.
(Hmmm... Room 10, huh..??), "Let's go, Kagemia!" Kuro calls her and said.
"Okay" Kagemia said, while still being confused from what happened earlier.
The owner suddenly called them out and says, "Oh... I forget to mention, your room was upstairs!"
"Thank you" Kuro said, as he puts the key on his pocket.
...
They both went upstairs to find the room they rented. As they walk around the second floor, Kuro saw a lots of rooms upstairs as they went to the very end of the 2nd floor, (room 7, room 8, room and lastly room 10... Damn our room is in the end of the 2nd floor...)
They both stares on the door called 'room 10'
...
After that, Kuro grabbed the key in his pocket and opened the door of their room.
What they saw behind that door was.
"What the hell is this... Impossible" Kuro saw is a room that is looks like a high prize room in a 5 star inn, as he said.
Although seeing a beautiful room, Kagemia didn't react to it, just like what Kuro did.
(Well, this is quite good... A large bed, table and a sofa beside the table.) Kuro glances all over the place and said.
Kuro glances at Kagemia and says, "Take a sit" as he pointed his hands on the bed.
The moment she sat on the bed, Kuro began asking some questions, "I've never asked this since we've met but... Any way, where's your family..?? Kagemia?"
"Sorry but I can't tell you... Mister" Kagemia said.
Kuro grabs her left and right shoulder and says, "tell me!"
Kagemia stared at him with a cold stares as she quickly looked away.
"Well, if you're not gonna tell me... Then you'll have to stay in this place without me... I'll be heading out tomorrow to another empire!" Kuro said.
Her body began to shakes as she yells on him, "Even if I'll tell you... What the hell can you do to help me!!" And started crying.
Kuro stares on her with a cold eyes and says, "I don't want to bring a person that has a secret that she has been hiding from me!"
Kagemia stares directly on his eyes with a gloomy looks on her eyes and says, "Them? Those cowards! They sold me! Because they ran out of money, that they can use for gambling!" As she yells at him and continues sobbing.
"Calm down..." Kuro said.
"How do I supposed to calm down... It's really painful... I've loved them, but they never showed or let me feel that they loved me even once!" Kagemia said, as she continues sobbing.
"Well I know what you feel!" Kuro said.
"How can you say that?! Have you've been sold by your parents!!??" Kagemia said, as she continues sobbing.
"Back then... My family got slaughtered by an unknown person... That even me couldn't remember his face, all I know is how his tattoo in his right hand looks like!" Kuro said, with a sorrow looks on his eyes.
She weep as she lean on him and says, "Then what the hell is the difference!! Mister!!"
Kuro started telling her about his past, " remember what I told you earlier? About my parents getting slaughtered..?? I was with them that time! They beg on that killer to spare me, that's why I manage to live... Despite not having relatives in that empire!"
Kagemia listened to him as she continues sobbing on Kuro's shoulder.
While Kuro continued to tell her about his dark past.
...
*A flashback about what happened to Kuro After that incident*
Kuro's house burns along with his family, as he run to the streets in Latteria empire.
A day after that day, Nobody helped Kuro nor give him food to eat since yesterday. As he almost starved to death in the streets corner that led him to learn to steal food from the food stores in their empire.
...
After living like that in a whole 4 months, he realized that he became a well known thief in their empire.
That their own king, considered him as a threat to other shops.
One day, while running on the streets, carrying foods that he stole from the food stores.
Kuro bumped into a famous person in their nation. Known as the strongest swordsman in their empire.
"Owww! That hurts! Old man!" Not knowing that it is the strongest swordsman in their empire, Kuro thought that, that person is just an ordinary old man, as he said.
That person suddenly lifted Kuro and says, "from your looks... And the colored of your hair, and that looks like a dead fish eyes... Are you the famous, Black cat?!"
Kuro stares at that person eyes and says, "Put me down!" As he struggles.
"Hahahaha!! Ohh... I see... So you're him! I never though I'll bump into a famous person..." That person said.
As he struggles on getting that person's hand away from him, he brings out a knife and tried to stab that person.
...
But that person gets his hand off from Kuro and jumps backwards, "Oi! That's dangerous!!"
Kuro tried to escapes from him but unfortunately his speed was not enough to get away from him... In the end, after that person catched up with Kuro. He immediately grabs Kuro's knife and immobilized him, "Oi! Oi! Stealing is bad you know!?"
Kuro glares at him with a murderous eyes and says, "Hell if I care!"
(It might be better if I hand him over the capital...) That person thinks.
"Oi! Let me go!!"Kuro said.
"You're a annoying!! Shut up!" That person said.
Kuro glances side ways as he kept being silent.
"What's your name, young boy!?"that person said.
Kuro glares at him and says, "It's none of your business!"
That person smiled in front of him as he immobilized Kuro from running and says, "well... I'm Ken.. Ken Puena... Ken for short!"
"Do I look like I care?" Kuro said.
"AaaaaAaAAaAh!!" That person said with a shock on his face.
"So... Are you going to hand me over to the capital!?" Kuro said, As he glares on him.
"Hmmm... Well, I'm still thinking about it!?" Ken said.
"Do as you please..." Kuro said, as he stops trying to escapes from him.
Ken smiles at him and says, "hahaha! You're intereting... hey... Do you want to come with me??"
When Kuro was about to close his eyes, in order to fall asleep so he wouldn't feel that he's being carry. He suddenly opened his eyes after he hears what Ken said.
"You... You like swords didn't you..??" Ken said, as he smiles.
"I don't like swords..." Kuro said.
"Then why are you holding a knife..??" Ken said.
"To protect myself!" Kuro said, as he stares on him.
"Swords that are used to protect ones selves should be thrown away..." Ken said, as he let go of Kuro and turned away from him.
"Oi! Why did you let me go..." Kuro said.
"Who knows" Ken said, as he acted dumb.
"Even though you know I can run off any time I wanted... Why did you let me go?" Kuro said, as he stares at him.
"You're free to go whenever you wanted... But there's one thing I have to tell you before I go" Ken said, as he turned away from Kuro.
"What is it!?' Kuro said
"If you wanted to learn how to use sword... Come with me" Ken said, as he started walking away from him.
Kuro looks up on him that time, and followed him.
...
*End of flash back*
...
"He trained me on how to use a sword, and let me join the royal guards...
And a weeks after I became a royal guards, we royal guards... Fought in war, and when we came back... Instead of seeing people's welcoming us from our battle... What we saw is, an empire that is in fire and corpses lying around the ground... The only survivor in that war was the five of us, after that day... All of us parted ways... After days of walking heading to this empire... I walked around the Empire, trying to find an inn. And that's when I met you! Kagemia..." Kuro said.
Kagemia wiped her tears and says, "please let me lean on your shoulders, for a little bit longer..."
Kuro patted her head and says, "Yeah... Take your time"
Kagemia suddenly hug him and says, "Mister... I promise, from now on... I'll stop crying!... No, I mean... I'll never cry again!" As she blushes with a bright looks on her eyes.
(Crap... I said to much!) Kuro thinks as his face turns bright red.
Kagemia glances at him for a second and saw him blushing and she suddenly laughed at him while she's blushing.
"Oi! Kagemia!! Is there something on my face?! Why are you laughing!" Kuro said, as he tries to hide his embarrassment.
She kept laughing as she says, "It's nothing mister... Pffttttttt... By the way mister... May I ask your name?"
"Huh?!... Okay... My name huh?... Kurogami Takehisa, Kuro for short!" Kuro said.
"Oh... I see... Pffftttt.. then may I call you Mister Kuro from now on?" Kagemia said, as she tries to stop her laughter.
"Call me whatever you wanted... By the way, Kagemia! How old are you??" Kuro said.
"Umm... 14 years old... Mister Kuro"Kagemia said, as she blushes.
"I'm older than you, huh?!... I'm 18 years old, just to let you know!" Kuro said, With a blank stare.
"I look forward on working with you on the future... Mister Kuro" Kagemia said, as she smiles.
