But she wasn't the only one who had this idea. Okame had also planned to make breakfast for Kohza and then bring it over to him.
While Tracey was still looking for something, Okame was already on her way to the rebel leader and speculated excitedly how he would react.
"Of course he will wonder why I make him breakfast, because I just say yesterday that I would make breakfast for him only on his birthday and that's in 5 months.", Okame remembered thoughtfully.
When she finally reached Kohza's house, she was hesitant first at the door and didn't dare to knock. But then she took up all her courage and knocked at last. After she had knocked a few times, she still heard nothing and assumed that Kohza was still asleep, so she just went inside. When she was in the house, she saw that he was still in bed and put her tray, on which was the breakfast, softly on the ground. The brown-haired simply had to take advantage of this opportunity. She had never seen the rebel leader asleep. Quietly, she crept to the bed and stared at him without taking a second the sight of him.
"He's so cute when he sleeps!", Okame gushed embarrassed.
Although she would never admit it, but she had fallen in love with Kohza. Yesterday it was aware of her when she had a conversation with him alone the first time. Earlier, when she was still in the rebel army, they never had the chance to have a talk with him alone because he had always plenty to do and there was also no reason to talk to him alone.
While Okame was still dreaming, Tracey suddenly came into the house, didn't see the tray with breakfast and then it happened. Tracey fell over the tray and landed with her tray rough on the floor. Now, both had no breakfast for Kohza anymore.
"Are you stupid or what? Can't you even better watch out? Look what you've done!", Okame bleated furiously.
"That wouldn't have happened if you hadn't put your stupid tray in the middle of the room!", Tracey argued angrily.
"Wait a minute! A tray? What are you doing here with a tray? But you didn't intend to...", the red-haired noticed stunned.
"Of course! I was actually going to serve Kohza a homemade breakfast. It would have worked if you hadn't come ! ", Okame accused Tracey.
But suddenly Okame also noticed something.
"There's another tray! Did you also intend to ", the young woman wanted to know curiously.
"Yes! So what! If you hadn't come, it would have worked too!", the little girl said confidently. Now both growled angrily and didn't notice that Kohza awoke cause of the whole spectacle.
Overslept, he stretched himself in bed and couldn't believe his eyes when he looked to the right. Anywhere in the room breads, rolls, meats, milk, broken plates and cups were laying around and in the middle of it Tracey and Okame were sitting and shouting at each other.
"Hey, you two! Stop this nonsense and finally tell me what's going on here!", Kohza bleated on the two angrily.
The both turned around and stared at him speechless.
"Kohza! You are already awake?", Okame wondered nervously.
"Yes, and how it looks, you would probably have been better if I hadn't even woken up!", the young man replied irritated.
"But that's not true, Kohza! I really wanted that you wake up...but not like this! Actually you should wake up in front of a breakfast buffet! But it has unfortunately become nothing...", the young woman tried to explain.
"Breakfast buffet? For me?", the brown-haired asked surprised.
"Yes! Especially for you!", Okame and Tracey replied with sparkling eyes at the same time. Kohza stared at the two with a surprised look and then he finally said:
"That's really cute of you!"
"What? Really?", the two said and turned red with embarrassment.
"Yes, I find it really nice of you, that you are so tried!", the brown-haired praised both.
"I'm just wondering why all the effort? I thought you wanted to make a breakfast buffet for me on my birthday only, Okame?", Kohza wanted to know.
Exactly before this question Okame had fear. Actually she should have known that he would ask her that question sooner or later, but somehow she didn't want to admit it. She was always been obsessed with bringing a breakfast buffet to him, in order to collect from him plus points.
"So...uh...well...I thought to myself...because you weren't on the celebration of the King, and so you couldn't come into the enjoyment of Terracotta's cooking skills, I thought to myself that I'll simply make a breakfast buffet for you!", the brown-haired explained him nervously.
"Well if that's true! I'm really sorry that it has now become nothing! But how does this mess happen?", the young man asked curiously.
The breath of Okame and Tracey stopped at the same time. Okame knew that if Tracey would tell her version, Kohza would ask why she had put her tray just to the ground. Okame wouldn't dare to explain to him that she had placed her tray on the floor just because she wanted to watch him sleep.
Tracey had similar concerns and didn't know how she should explain him why she made a breakfast buffet for him again. She just couldn't tell him that she, as a 7-year-old girl, had fallen in love with a 18-year-old aspiring man.
While Okame and Tracey stood like rooted in the room and couldn't say a single word, Kohza stared confused at them and wondered why they didn't answered him.
"Um... do you intend to answer me today or won't you?", the rebel leader asked them curiously.
Okame became increasingly nervous and kept it no longer. Without saying a word, she ran at once like a lightning out of the house. Kohza and Tracey looked after her in surprise.
"What's wrong with her?", the brown-haired asked innocently. Tracey knew exactly what was going with Okame. She probably would have reacted the same way but you would never suspect that a little girl might fall in love with a boy twice her age. That's why she didn't had run away.
"Well, now she's gone! You can't change it! Then I have to clean this uo on my own. ", the young man said as he slowly rose from his bed.
"You want to clean this up alone? Are you crazy? You've got nothing to do with it! I'll do it! You should run after Okame and talk with her!", the red-haired suggested. Kohza looked in amazement at her but then he agreed:
"Ok! As you want!"
Before the rebel leader left the house, he stopped again and said to Tracey:
"Thank you, Tracey! I owe you something!"
With these words Kohza left the house and went in search of Okame. Tracey was flattered that he owed her something now. But on the other hand, she was angry, why she told him that he should run after Okame. And then she was still so stupid and offered herself to him as a cleaning woman. Although she collected now many plus points by her willingness to help, she could slap it anyway because she admitted that Okame was now alone with the rebel leader and that could have dire consequences for her if that happened, what she feared most.
While Tracey cared about preparing properly the house again, Kohza was still trying to find unsuccessfully Okame. Although Yuba wasn't particularly large, but there were many ways to hide. Shortly before he almost wanted to quit the search, he recalled earlier than he had built with his family and many other people here in the desert the oasis of Yuba. At that time the children couldn't help much, so they had played all day. Although the Desert Kids were now separated, as some had come to Yuba and the other part remained in Arbana, they still had a lot of fun. Kebi and Okame belonged to the Desert Kids members who had followed their leader Kohza. At that time there were many small hiding place were in Yuba, because the houses weren't completed yet, and therefore they could hide it in them perfectly. Kohza could still remember exactly which was Okame's favorite hiding place. This hiding place still existed, because it had fallen down constantly and the working men had then abandoned it, build it up again and again. Therefore, the building became the headquarters of the Desert Kids, which was later also a kind of youth meeting place, because the members of the Desert Kids soon felt too old for such a band broke it up. Okame could just be in this place, why Kohza went right on track.
After a while he arrived at that, in itself collapsed, house and couldn't even discover Okame. He immediately went into the house, although this was forbidden, because the danger was that the house would collapse completely. As the brown-haired was then in the house, he immediately discovered Okame.
"Okame! There you are!", the young man called after her. The brown-haired woman reacted completely surprised and afraid because she hadn't expected that he was even searching for her.
"What are you doing here?", Okame wanted to know and she asked this with a very soft, uncertain voice.
"Well, isn't that clear? I was looking for you and now I found you!", Kohza explained.
"And why did you search for me?", she asked him just as uncertain as the first time.
"It's quite clear! I want to know what's wrong with you!", he replied and came slowly toward her.
Okame was now very uncomfortable at ease and would prefer to be dissolved into thin air.
But unlike Okame Kohza was confident in this situation and sat down beside her. The young woman realized that she probably already turned red and tried to hide her face as she laid it on her knees and folded her arms in front. The rebel leader knew that she didn't like to talk about her feelings and it was very uncomfortable when something embarrassing happened to her. Therefore he tried to tackle it slowly and struck up a conversation with her:
"Why were you running away? I mean, the same thing happened to Tracey and after all she still stayed there! I'm not angry! You have it only meant well!"
It was nice of Kohza how he was talking to her but unfortunately it was hard for her to give him an answer. She also found it nice that he sat that close to her, but she just couldn't say what she felt for him. The brown-haired woman had no other choice but to play the sensitive bitch, who wanto to pitied by anyone and just wanted to have her rest. After she had well considered this, she got up to go towards the exit, until Kohza suddenly asked her: "Okame, where are you going?"
"Well, I get out of here!", the young woman answered in a bitchy, annoyed tone this time.
At the very moment when she wanted to leave the house, a voice called out:
"Attention, the ball!"
Okame looked puzzled out the window when she realized suddenly, that a ball at breakneck speed flew towards her. Since she noticed it quickly enough, she could still escape in time. The ball, however, slammed full force into a wall in the house and has been stopped. Okame and Kohza looked at each other confused, but were quickly brought back into reality when she suddenly realized that the house was threatening to collapse.
"That can't be true! The walls and the ceiling are shaking! The house is about...", Okame said stunned and was unable to finish her sentence, because Kohza had already gripped her hand and pulled her towards the exit. When they were only a few meters away from the output, he suddenly noticed that a boulder from the ceiling, fell towards the exit. Without having inaugurated Okame in his deliberations, he pushed her through the exit to the outside. While the young woman tried not to lose her balance while balancing through the exit, she turned the rebel leader and just saw how he was buried slowly under the rocks.
"Kohza!", she yelled desperately after him.
Okame fell roughly to the ground, but it didn't matter at the moment, because she had huge fear for Kohza, who was now buried under probably an infinite number of rocks.
"Kohza!", she screamed again and began to cry uncontrollably.
Slowly, the residents of Yuba were attentive to the situation and rushed to the brown-haired who was sitting distraught on the ground in front of the collapsing building. Kebi was the first who start talking to her.
"Okame, what happened?", Kebi asked curiously.
"Kohza Kohza is...", Okame tried to explain to him sobbing while she struggled with her tears, which didn't want to stop the flow.
"What's wrong with Kohza? Where is he?", Kebi asked again because he didn't understand what Okame wanted to tell him at all.
The young woman also noted that it didn't work like she wanted. So she pointed her finger at collapsing house inf ront of her. Not only Kebi, but also all other people who stood around him and Okame, it was freezing cold down their spine. You could hardly imagine that anyone could survive it, if countless boulders would fall on him. They wanted to try it anyway, to free Kohza, why some of the people ran to the house, whose condition was now stable, because it had collapsed completely. The other part of the people ran to their homes to fetch shovels so they could dig better for Kohza. While they did this, Okame was still sitting stunned on the floor and couldn't defend herself against her rebellious tears, which were still running randomly her cheeks down. Since Kebi noticed that there were enough people for digging, he went to the brown-haired and tried to figure out what had happened.
"Okame, what's happened at all? Why did Kohza go into this house?", Kebi asked curiously. It was hard for Okame to give him an answer, because she knew that it was her fault. But the black-haired didn't stop asking and he pressed her until she finally tried to explain it to him.
"I...I was first in the house...I wanted to be alone, but Kohza has searched me and then came to me...", Okame said sobbing.
"But why then the house collapsed?", Kebi wanted to know about it.
"...Because there came all at once a flying a ball that then banged hard against a wall in the house.", she explained sobbing.
"A ball? Strange!", Kebi murmured thoughtfully to himself.
At the same time at the palace of Arbana, just all sat around the table and ate their lunch.
"I just wonder how Kohza is! Let's see if he has such a delicious food on the table as we do. But I think rather not, because no one in Yuba cook as good as you can, Terracotta!", Toto speculated while he enjoyed Terracotta's delicious food.
"Don't exaggerate!", the blond-haired said embarrassed.
Vivi didn't like that now they were talking about Kohza at once and so she stared pensively at her food. Terracotta noticed this and she said to her:
"What did you do, Vivi? Do you have some fear that Kohza couldn't have enough to eat? "
"What? No! Of course not! Why should that be! He definitely goes brilliantly!", Vivi replied surprised.
Terracotta knew that she would respond like that, because she didn't want to admit that she was in love with Kohza. Since she had this conversation with Vivi, that wasn't serious at all, Terracotta pursued a strategy. She wanted to talk to Vivi always about Kohza, so she wouldn't even forget him. But the blue-haired realized what was going on and tried as good as she could, not responding her. However, the men dropped to nothing and continue to eat their food.
After eating, Vivi immediately went to Terracotta in the kitchen and put her to task.
"Why did you do that?", the young woman asked with an irritated voice.
"What do you mean?", the female cook wondered with a grin as she was washing the dishes.
"You know what I mean! Finally, understand that the Kohza and I are just good friends and that there will be no more!", Vivi tried to explain to her desperately. Terracotta stared at her in silence, while Vivi waited in vain for a response from her. But as the blond-haired turned back and went on with her work, the princess was very angry at her and said only:
"You'll probably never understand it!"
With these words she ran from the kitchen and barricaded herself in her room again. But Terracotta didn't cease to believe that Vivi and Kohza would come together someday.
Meanwhile, the people in Yuba were still desperately trying to rescue Kohza. Some of them knew that it was too late anyway, because he had already been buried for 20minutes under the heavy rocks. But they all dug further, because they found it difficult to hand over such a horrible message to Okame. Still less they could imagine to tell Kohza's father that his only child, had died during his absence. That would deprive him of the hope to continue building Yuba. And also all the people in Yuba really liked the rebel leader and could hardly imagine that Yuba existed without him. While all people made their thoughts, suddenly one of them noticed something.
"Hey! I think I've found him!", one of the people shouted at once.
Everyone stared at him in amazement and then finally walked up to him. Okame who noticed it, stood up and ran uncertainly toward the scene. When she fought her way through the crowd to the front, she suddenly saw him in front of them. Kohza was actually rescued after nearly half an hour. A man, who was a doctor pushed his way through the crowd and felt a precaution after Kohza's pulse. Everyone was very relieved when the doctor told them:
"All right! His pulse was indeed not the most normal, but he isn't in any life-threatening situation!"
Of course Okame was very relieved in this moment and a huge stone fell from her heart. She would never forgive herself if Kohza had lost his life because of her. Because she was so happy that he survived, she thought seriously about telling him that she felt in love with him.
