Love that is hunted
Chapter one
By KellyQ
The bartender looked up from what he was doing, and stopped rubbing the glass to see a young man walking toward him. He had dark blue slanted eyes, gray and midnight-blue hair, and triangle shaped painted blue on either side of his cheeks. His clothes was gray and black, including a white scarf around his neck.
"How may I help you?"
"A glass of water," he said sitting down. "And the directions to the old forest."
"You're going there?" came a voice.
The young man turned his head slightly to see a young boy a little younger than he, thus he had bushy red hair and his white clothing was really no different.
"If you're going to hunt in the great forest, I should warn you that many people tried, but they would come back saying that it's haunted - are you listening to me?" The boy asked, noticing that the new customer had tuned him out.
"You should listen to him," came another voice, causing the boy to turn again to see another boy sitting next to the red hair boy. He had black hair that was pulled back, yellow-cat like eyes, and gadget teeth. He went by the name of Rei. "The spirit may look innocent, but he's the most deadliest thing ..."
"How do you know all this - Have you seen it?" The teen asked rudely.
"Yes we have." the blonde boy who was sitting next to the dark-haired boy put a hand on his shoulder. "That's why Rei looks the way he does - you might get cursed too - if you try to do anything that will threaten it."
The blonde boy paused, noticing that the grayish- midnight-haired boy had stopped paying attention what he was saying. Why wasn't he taking their warning in consideration? The spirit of the forest was not to be taken likely.
"If you're still willing to go there," the bartender said with a sigh. "Take the road to the East, and it should lead you there ..."
The boy nodded his head as he put money on the table got up, and walked out when he felt a hand on his shoulder. Kai stopped and turned his head, and his eyes met with cold yellow eyes.
"If you go in there, you'll never come back the same again!" Rei exclaimed.
Kai's eyes flashed dangerously. He took hold of Rei's hand and brushed it off, warning him not to touch him.
"Great," the blonde sighed, watching Kai walk out of the bar. "Now what are we going to do?"
"Keep an eye on him," Rei said sternly.
What type of fool did they take me for, the teen thought with a sneer. He wasn't a kid who needed to be babysat.
"Hey, wait!" a voice called out to him.
Kai stopped, and closed his eyes. He opened them again and turned around, looking very annoyed. When will these kids stop following me around?
"Since you have no interest in the spirit of the forest, what is it that you're really after?" the red-haired boy said.
"The power called ... Dranzer."
"You can't be serious ..." the red-haired boy paled.
"I'm dead serious. Now out of my way."
Rei gave one last hard look before giving his final choice. "We're still coming with you - you don't know where you're going ..."
"Oh, and I suppose you guys do?" the cold boy said in a mocking manor. Rei and Kai glared at each other, but Rei won. "Okay, whatever - just stay out of my way."
"That's great," the blonde cheered. "I'm Max, this is Kenny, and Rei. You are ..."
"Kai," he said simply.
