Chapter Two

Solitary Wolf

Transylvania, Romania

Walking around the tedious city of Transylvania through the premature morning hours are two youthful gentlemen that have their heads bowed to the ever-increasing intenseness of the sunshine.

"Why do we always have to go and purchase the groceries?" Kenichiro's hands are in his pants pockets. The gentle breeze is blowing Kenichiro's short white hair.

Lennox's thoughts: Kenichiro's closest acquaintances, who reside in other kingdoms, always convey the paramount of his individuality, however at the moment, Kenichiro only has his family to stay with and they tend to get on his very last nerve with their everyday tribulations. That is excludingme, his twin brother. "Kenichiro, we are the eldest, so naturally Mother will send us out to go get the groceries." Lennox's hands are in his pants pockets, and being fairly hunched at the shoulders he appears shorter than his twin Kenichiro looks at his brother thoughtfully. Lennox delicately takes out a chocolate bar from his pants pocket and starts to unwrap it.

"I suppose you are correct…" Kenichiro said with a sigh. Lennox starts to eat the candy bar for breakfast.

"I know! Though you will not acknowledge it, Kenichiro, I know you miss your friends."

"I miss all of my friends, with the exception of for Alba's brother, Costner. I detest that boy so much that I cannot even stand it."

"Why is that? Do please enlighten me."

"The reason why I hate Costner is that he always got on my nerves with his smartass responses and interpretations."

"That is no explanation to hate the man."

"Essentially, yes it is, Lennox."

"In my opinion I believe it has to deal with some other issue."

"I, on the other hand, think different."

"Not really, I mean, I have smartass answers to all questions that people request of me."

"That is different. You are my brother, so I can deal with it. Nevertheless, I do not have to take it from someone else's brother." Lennox shrugs his shoulders indifferently.

"Whatever you say, brother, it is you that must deal with your decision later in life." Kenichiro and Lennox walk into the grocery store on their right so they can get the needed groceries.

"Lennox, do you think there is a better future out there for us?" Kenichiro asked with a sigh.

"Maybe you are right to hope that something better can be out there." Kenichiro looks through the supply of apples. Lennox looks through the supply of sweets. Not far from where the brothers are standing, a mysterious man dressed in a blue and white cloak looks at them with profound significance.

Atsushi's thoughts: For all you know, your future is already upon you, Kenichiro Hawthorne.
