"Hi Zel-kun!"
"What was that shadow?"
He walked to the left hall, not knowing what lies ahead.
Kotaro walked through the left hall. There was nothing much to see there. Only a few frames hanging on the walls. Also, the shadow he was following was no longer in sight. "Maybe it was just my imagination…?" He thought.
He continued walking, hoping to catch another glimpse of the shadow. But he saw nothing but an empty hall. He closed his eyes and sighed in slight disappointment. "Maybe it was my imagination. I could've stayed in the room and draw something like a bear or a-" He was pulled from his thoughts when he bumped into something and fell down.
'Itai…' He muttered as he rubbed his head. He looked up and saw a man with raven black hair and blood-red eyes.
'Ah! I-I'm sorry! I wasn't being careful.' Kotaro apologized to the man who merely stared at him. Kotaro locked eyes with the man. There was something in this man that he really didn't like.
"Listen Kotaro, never talk or even go near strangers unless you know that you can actually trust them."
That reminder of Jiro's kept on ringing in Kotaro's mind. "Run, you idiot! Run!!" He reminded himself. He pushed himself off the floor and ran back to the room.
Unknown to him, though, the man was smiling at his retreating form. Though you can't say it was a pleasant smile.
Kotaro got back to his room and locked the door at once. He leaned backwards from the door and slid downwards. "What in the world was that?!" Kotaro asked himself. "His eyes… I could've swear I saw his eyes in… slits. Like a cat's. Nope, not cat, a snake's." He frowned, then shook his head violently. "Just quit thinking about it, Kota!" He told himself.
He stood up and took his bag. He took his notebook and pen out and drew for the rest of the trip.
When they got to the port, Mimiko and Kotaro had a hard time on waking Jiro and Zelman up. When the two did wake up, Mimiko, then, started complaining. 'Why do you guys always torture me like this?! I'm getting sick just wakin' the both of you up!'
The two vampires just walked out of the room, leaving their things for the two other occupants of the room to carry. Zelman, though, was still pretty wobbly. Jiro yawned and almost hit the door in doing so. Kotaro sweat-dropped at this and Mimiko groaned. 'Jeez! Vampires!' She took a glance at Kotaro who took it the wrong way.
'Well don't look at me! It's not like I'm gonna be like them when I grow up!' He reasoned to Mimiko who had a sweat-drop.
Mimiko shook her head and said, 'Of course! You don't wanna grow up to be as lazy as them, do you?!'
Kotaro crossed his arms and shook his head. Then they stared at each other for a second before giggling. Then they heard Jiro's voice from outside.
'Hey! You two! Get outta there will yah!' He sounded very serious. That made Mimiko and Kotaro grab the bags and quickly go out of the ship.
When they got out, they quickly realized the problem. 'Where are the people out here?' Asked Kotaro, who was looking at every direction.
Zelman turned to Kotaro. 'No idea. No one's at the hall ways when we went out and no one's here when there should be a stampede goin' on just about right now.' Zelman said
'But, how could that be?' Said Mimiko. 'How could the people disappear like that in an instant without us noticing?' Once again, the four observed their surroundings. There was an eerie atmosphere around the place, sort of like a haunted place.
'I have a bad feeling about this place.' Jiro said, more to himself that to the others. Jiro walked away to check if there are someone else beside them in the port. Kotaro ran to his brother and Mimiko followed. Zelman stayed behind.
'Hello?' the compromiser called. 'Is anybody there? Hello?' No one answered her calls. Kotaro called out as well, yet no one answered him.
Zelman was just standing by the waiting area of the port. He was looking at the trio when he thought he saw something shadowy pass by behind him. "What the heck..?" He started walking towards Jiro and the others to tell them what he saw.
Jiro, on the other hand, was helping Mimiko stand up. She tripped because she stepped on a banana peel which, no one noticed, was on the ground. 'Are you always this clumsy?' Jiro teased.
Mimiko pouted at his remark and Kotaro giggled.
'GUYS!' They heard Zelman's voice from behind. But then, when they turned around, he was no where in sight.
'Where's Zel-kun?' Kotaro blinked. The trio looked around for him but he wasn't there.
Then, a black void suddenly appeared out of no where and started pulling them in. By instinct, Jiro quickly took Kotaro and Mimiko beside him and held them tightly. They were pulled in the void and it started to change colors from black to dark blue.
As the void disappeared, a man with light blue hair stood by the waiting area where Zelman once stood before disappearing. He smirked, then said, 'Our plans are going perfectly.' Then he disappeared from thin air as well.
Kotaro looked around. 'I don't like this, onii-sama.' He told his brother.
The void started to change colors again. This time, it looked exactly like the deep sea.
Jiro felt uncomfortable with the color. And, before they knew it…
SPLASH!
The trio had splashed into real water. With that, Jiro winced in pain and started smoking at once.
