A Perfect Leader Couple

Chapter 10

As the night came, Ayame and Yuki went back to the cave along with Shinta.

When they took a couple steps into the entrance of the cave, they saw Koga coming up to them. Ayame and Yuki stopped to see if Koga needed to talk or something.

When he stopped in front of them, Koga just asked a question. "Have you guys seen Ginta or Hakkaku?" Ayame thought about it for a moment, then she shook her head, meaning no. Koga understood, then he turned to Yuki.

Yuki thought about it, she closed her eyes to think harder. Koga and Ayame just stood there waiting and watching her as she think.

Yuki finally opened her eyes, she looked like she knew, but at the same time she didn't. It was all confusing for them.

Yuki looked like she wanted to answer, but somehow she kept it inside her. Like she was worry about something.

"So?" Koga asked, waiting to hear Yuki say something. Yuki didn't answer, she just stood there majorly lost in thought. "Yuki?" Ayame said, worried about her friend.

"Maybe... they came back. No, what happens if they fell down in a river. No, that can't be. Awe, I shouldn't have left them!" Yuki said out loud, not knowing it herself.

Ayame was about to say something to help calm Yuki down, but Koga stepped in first.

"What happen?" Koga demand, not to nicely. Koga wanted to know what exactly happen to them. They were his comrades.

"D–Did I say that out loud?" Yuki said quietly, getting scare of what's gonna happen next. "Yuki? What happen?" Ayame asked, hoping that Yuki would just say something they want to hear.

"Well, I–I did see them. But it was a while ago. Maybe they came ba–" Yuki said for a little while, but Koga cut her off.

"They didn't come back." Koga said, staring at one side of the wall in the cave. Yuki didn't know what to say now, so she stand quiet for the time being.

"May–" Ayame started, but Koga wouldn't hear anymore of this "maybe" talk, so he cut her off. "Just forget it. I'll go look for them myself." Koga said with a sigh.

Before Ayame could say anything else, Koga just jumped out of the cave and started running through the forest's trees searching for Ginta and Hakkaku.

When Koga was out of Ayame's eyes. Ayame turn straight to Yuki with a serious face, she put hands on her hips and said, "What did happen?".

Yuki explained to Ayame about what happen with her and the two idiots when she was fighting with the Bird of Paradise.

"Yuki!" Ayame almost yelled, making Yuki step back a little. "Sorry, I couldn't stand them." Yuki complained, hoping that Ayame could stop scaring her with her mad voice.

Time has passed and still no Koga, not even a sound of footsteps. It's already midnight, but Ayame couldn't sleep. Her worries for them outside just haunts her.

Luckily Yuki and the tribes were sleeping okay, but not Ayame. Ayame stood up from the ground she was laying on and sat against the wall. 'Where are they, maybe I should go searching too' Ayame thought worriedly.

Ayame thought about it for another moment, then she stood up and walked to the entrance of the cave.

Ayame took another flew steps, then she was about to start running, but didn't because she saw shadows. She didn't run or panic, instead she walked slowly towards it.

When Ayame got close enough to see who the shadows were, she saw Koga. 'If Koga is there, then maybe he found them' Ayame thought gladly.

Ayame felt like she should just go back to the cave, but when Koga, Ginta, and Hakkaku walked close enough that Ayame was able to hear what they were saying, she chose to stay a while.


"Be more careful next time." Koga said out loud to Ginta and Hakkaku with his arms folded across his chest.

"Sor–" Hakkaku started to said, but Ginta cut him off with a loud scream. Koga and Hakkaku jumped a little, then they turn to look at Ginta who was freaking out, while pointing at something.

Koga and Hakkaku followed Ginta's pointing direction and saw a dark shadow. After they saw the shadow too, Hakkaku started to panic as well, but Koga stand calm.

The shadow walked closer to them, making Ginta and Hakkaku get even scarer. But Koga stand put, cracking his knuckles with a smirk.

When the shadow got even closer, Koga finally chose to attack it. Koga ran up to it so that he would be able to punch it's face.

The shadow dodged the attack, making Koga punch the ground. "Hey!" Something yelled, when Koga hear the sound of that voice, he knew it wasn't some kind of demon trying to kill them.

Koga stand up straight and turn to face the shadow. "Who's there?" Koga asked, feeling like he should walk closer to see the shadow. But he didn't need to, because it was the one who walked closer.

It walked out of the darkness, letting Koga see who it was; Ayame.

"Ayame?" Koga said in a confused way. "Yes?" Ayame said back, glad he finally knew who she was before he could attack her again.

When Ginta and Hakkaku heard Koga say Ayame, they replaced their panicked face with a confuse one.
