Chapter 29

THE NEXT DAY
IN HAMANO HOUSEHOLD

Hamano Hikari wipes her mouth with the napkin before standing up from the dining table.

Hikari: jaa, ittekimassu, otousan, okaasan.
Hikari's mom: e? Where r u going, hikari? Ur father is not done eating yet.
Hikari: im going to school with a friend. Otousan, u dont have to drive me to school anymore.

Hikari closes the door of her house. She stops in front of the mirror which hangs on the wall of the outer part of the house. She brushes her hair neatly with her fingers. She walks through the garden of her house, heading towards the side gate. There she could see a shadow of a person leaning on the wall outside. She blushes.

Hikari: o..ohayou, kitayama kun.
Tsuyoshi: un, ohayou hamano.
Hikari: gomen nasai, have u waited for long?
Tsuyoshi: iie, zenzen, i just got here too (looks away)
Hikari: (chuckles)
Tsuyoshi: saa, ikimashou.
Hikari: hai.

Hikari walks beside Kitayama Tsuyoshi, heading towards the school. It was a bright sunny day indeed.

Once theyve reach the school.

Tsuyoshi halts as Hikari continues walking ahead. She sensed it and turns to Tsuyoshi, whos blushing.

Hikari: Kitayama kun?
Tsuyoshi: ano.. go ahead.. i need to go to the cafeteria.. jaa na (runs away)
Hikari: ?? (confused face)

Tsuyoshi: [geeh... i cant let the other know about this or theyll make fun of me]

After a lap of running aimlessly in thr school building, Kitayama Tsuyoshi finally comes in their classroom. There, he sees an irritated Kiryuu Shori sitting in his place. He felt chills down his spine.

Shori: oi, where the hell have u been, aho? The assignment!
Tsuyoshi: (takes out the assignment papers)
Shori: baka!
Tsuyoshi: (fumes) nanda yo sore !! After i finished if off nicely yesterday!!
Shori: hai, hai wakatta ze. Urusei na..
Tsuyoshi: kora!! Wheres my thanks!!
Shori: haa? Is tht something i should give?
Tsuyoshi: kono yaro!
Shori: (smiles) arigatou na.
Tsuyoshi: (smug) heh! Thts more like it.

AFTER SCHOOL

Shinichi: do u have meeting after this?
Shori: no, i dont. Why? Do u want to stop by somewhere today?
Shinichi: yeah, to reject shop.
Shori: now u mention abt that. I need something from there too.

Tsuyoshi: matte matte matte

Shori and Shinichi glanced towards Tsuyoshi who's struggling with his bag. And when finally he settled himself, his phone rang. The three boys jolted. Tsuyoshi rummage through his bag, searching for his phone. Shinichi frowned as he is now irritated with the loud continuous ringing tone. Shori sighed.
Finally Tsuyoshi found his phone and answered it.

Tsuyoshi: hai?

Tsuyoshi's face expression changed. His face turns into a serious expression which grab the two boys' attention. He taps end call and drops his arm. He looks straightly into Shori's eyes then into Shinichi's eyes.

Tsuyoshi: she ran away.. Sabaku Natsuki ...

AT THE GUILD

The group arrives at the guild.

Mai: yo

Cheng Mai Hao suddenly appeared from the front door of the guild, with the usual smiling face. Kitayama Tsuyoshi rushes towards her.

Tsuyoshi: where is she?
Mai: aiya.. like i told u before, she ran away when noone is here to look after her.
Tsuyoshi: and u didnt stop her?
Mai: she was already gone when i came back. Shoganai deshou
Tsuyoshi: so why dont u go after her!!?

Tsuyoshi grabs Mai Hao's collar and lifts her slightly. He has this rage expression and the usual smiling Mai Hao draws a serious glare at him. Hamano Hikari comes forward and calms Tsuyoshi down. He let go of her and clicked his tongue.

Hikari: ano, gomen nasai desu kedo, why did u let her go, Mai Hao san?
Mai: mou, guys r so impatient. Listen here, even if we keep her here, it doesnt mean tht she'll open her mouth to tell us anything.
Shori: so u let her go back to where she want to go?
Mai: sou yo.
Tsuyoshi: thts just like wasting the effort of keeping her here then!!

Shori hits Tsuyoshi's head.

Tsuyoshi: itte!! Nanda yo kora!
Shori: calm down baka.
Tsuyoshi: demo, shori!
Mai: have u forgotten who am i? Im the earth emperor, basically i can sense people from the surface of the earth. The earth is like my sensory organ, touch.
Yuu: so you can get natsuki san's whereabout?
Mai: fufu, u cant get the cat if its in the bag right? If we want her to spill the milk, it has to be in the cats house. SO lets go!!. Let me lead you guys on!!

Mai Hao walks confidently towards a direction. Kitayama Tsuyoshi, concerned about Sabaku Natsuki, blindly follows behind her. Hamano Hikari too tag along him.

Yuu: (whisper)... ne, kiryuu kun.... does the cat has anything to do with bag or milk..?
Shori: ..... saa... chinese proverbs maybe....
Yuu: ah.. sou ne..
Shori: dont just agree to it.

AN HOUR LATER (in the middle of the forest-like)

Hikari: (sighed) mou konna jikan da wa....
Yuu: sou ne, its already so late. Oniichan will get worried.
Hikari: ne, mai hao san, is there any vending machine or stalls around here...?
Mai: Im not a map or a compass, you know...

Fukushima Shinichi suddenly stops walking. His movement alerts everyone else. The 2 girls put on a worried expression. Tsuyoshi moves slightly in front of Hikari.

Hikari: doshita no, Fukushima kun?
Shori: shh!

Yuu's sight fell on something. She shivers and tugs on Shori's shirt.
Yuu: i...i...is.. it.. tht thing...?

Everyone turns towards where Yuu's finger points and they saw an angered, no, two angry wild boar infront of them. The two boars stares at the group. All of them froze out of fright, except for one person. Cheng mai Hao, further away from the boar, tries to peek at the animals from btween Shori and Tsuyoshi shoulder. When she saw them, her eyes gleams.

Mai: wow! That would be a great dinner if we are camping.

It is as if the boars could understand what Cheng Mai Hao said. The two animals dashes towards the group which makes them scream out of fear and they run as fast as they could to save themselves.

Tsuyoshi: (while running) ba.. baka!! Why did u have to say that, mai Hao!!
Mai: nani yo, im being serious.
Tsuyoshi: but u had just triggered a taboo button on them!!
Hikari: yamate yo!! Keep on running!! Its coming nearer.

Shinichi turns left leaving the others to continue running forward. He focuses his Emperor and stretches his shadow towards the running boar, who are passing infront of him. The boars halt in a suprise as their shadow combine to Shinichi's stretched shadow. The boars, being a creation tht has no brain, unable to understand why did they suddenly stop running. They force their body to go forward and catch their prey. That makes Fukushima Shinichi to stagger. Yuu grasps the current situation, turns and lets out her Emperor magic from both her palms towards the boars, freezing the boars to ice. Kitayama Tsuyoshi then suddenly dashes from the opposite direction, running towards the boars while persevering his clenched right hand.

As he is near the boars,

"Kitayama puuuunchhh!!"

he punches them both with all his might, making them fly towards the sky and vanish from their sight. Everyone are amazed at Tsuyoshi's strength. He smugs and laughes idiotically. Cheng Mai Hao steps forward and smacks behind his head.

Tsuyoshi: (spurts) itteee!!!
Hikari: Kitayama kun!!
Mai: why did u throw our dinner away, kono baka !!
Tsuyoshi: haaa!? Youre the only one who's gonna eat that thing!

While the two are arguing, both Hikari and Yuu imagine themselves eating the boar. They cover their mouth, disgusted with their own imagination. Yuu takes a step back and fell on her back.

Yuu: kyaa!
Hikari: yuu chan? Daijoubu?

Shori rushes towards the fallen Yuu and helps her get up. As he bends down, something caught his eyesight and he stops moving, staring.

Tsuyoshi: what r u peeking at, Shori? Girls bathing?
Hikari: (blushes) baka! What r u saying!?
Shori: mite yo sore.

Shori points forwards, still slightly bending. Everyone comes towards him and bends down, peeking through the branches n bushes. In front of them, they saw a big old house. Everyone gulps. Tsuyoshi flinches. Shori took a slight step forward but he was stopped by Tsuyoshi who grabbed his shirt.

Tsuyoshi: iya iya iya iya.. dont even think about it, Shori.. (frightened)
Shori: (smirks) heeeh. Does this reminds u of something, Shin?
Shinichi: maa na.
Tsuyoshi :aaahhh!! Stoopppu! Its almost late, l..lets go home!
Shori: eh? Demo....
Mai: sou yo! (sternly) its better if we go home now. Ive lost contact of her kehai, so its no use continuing now.

Everyone silently agrees to Cheng Mai Hao. They return back to the guild and part ways at the Helencia Central Town.
