Chapter 10

"Kaito, how far we are going to run? You just recovered so you really shouldn't press too hard on yourself." Looking at her guide worriedly, Gumi kept pressed on. The events in the Tenios ruins ended not too long ago, in fact it just hours ago, and both Len and Gumi felt a bit troll on their body for not having enough rest, and for Kaito, beads of sweat had been falling down. If this going on his fever that finally gone down might come back again. But he said nothing and kept on leading the way.

Finally, he slowed down after reaching a clearing, which had a big river beside. "Ok, we can get a rest here." He declared, with both of them let out a sigh of relieved. Walking towards a big tree, he sat down, and leaning against it, while Gumi made some woods to grow thicker and covered the path they had just passed through. Looking at the night, starry sky, Kaito muttered, "This is really nostologic….."

"Huh? Did you say something Kaito?" Walking towards him, Len asked. Turning his glance away and looked at Len, he just smiled, gently with a hint of sadness. "Nothing, so care to tell me what happen after I fainted?"

"Only if you can promise to answer our questions later." Gumi replied, sitting beside Len.

It took less than an hour to relay everything what happened after he was down, included the present he received from Forresta, which he was admiring it under the moonlight. "Aww….that's too bad…. I didn't get to see the wood spirit in the end….maybe I could thank him next time we met. So…..what questions you want to ask? I'm not sure if I can answer everything but… I shall try my best on them." He said.

Looking at each other, both of them decided to ask this first. After all, that problem had been bugging them for far too long. "Why everyone thinks that the village disappeared? Wasn't it strange that the whole village just declare 'non-exist' just because it was destroy?"

Looking troubled at their question, Kaito seemed to debate on how much truth he could tell them before Len decided he had enough. "Kaito, even if's just your theory, said it. I doubt there would be right or wrong answers right now."

Sighing, he said, "Well….what I'm going to say might be shocking, and added more mysteries than answers, so…." Looking at them, who had fierce determine look of 'you either tell us or we forced your mouth to talk', he could only sighed, again.

"Well…..of course it's impossible that everyone forgets the village that disappeared or destroy overnight….." Trailing off to wait for any interruption from either one of them, but surprisingly they just kept quiet, and waiting him to continue patiently.

Leaving with no choice, he continued where he left off. "But you see, if you truly believe a voice who told you something like 'There is no such thing as Kagami Village, and this child is an unwanted child.' Or something similar, then that child will become someone unwanted and that village becomes non-existence."

A voice…..suddenly, Len remember something. "That voice! It told me that the Knight had killed the monster, not mum! So if I gonna to believe that crap, mum is not….mum anymore? And she will turn into a monster? That's just too much!"

"So that's why there are people don't know the existence of Kagami Village…. I think I heard something like that when I was sleeping, but I think it sounds so wrong…."

"No, guys, you had got it all wrong. It's not that 'you think it's wrong' or 'you refused to believe' that simple. It was something greater, something in us, our hearts, our feelings…. We used them as a resist, a barrier towards its logic. That's why we do remember, the actual things that goes and by around us. However only selected few could do that, that's why I much more surprise than both of you that you remember things that should be or not to be around. Cos' till date I've seen countless of destroyed areas and villages, even families that had broken off with their members killed unjustified, in the next day, they could just…. It's like having their memories mortified like that."

Horrified by Kaito's explanation, Len finally knew why Kaito did not want, even hesitated to tell them. He must have been lonely, that there might be someone who had once shared the same view, but in the end…

"I'm sorry Kaito, maybe we really asked too much this time." Yeah, it must be hard on him too…

Shaking his head, Kaito just smiled, sadly. "No, it's all right. It's bound to be out sooner or later, and I also have a flavor to ask both of you." Staying attentive, both of them nodded, decided to hear his request. After all, this was a first time he had asked anything from them, especially Len.

"Please, really, do not tell anyone things I told you just now. It's considered a forbidden knowledge, and also please do not mention anything about Kagami Village, or any things we might came across in the future. Unless that someone who asked you is your familiar person or people you can really trust, you might find yourself in death rows if you just told anyone or everyone causally like that."

Nodding their heads, they promised to keep the secret knowledge. And just like Kaito had said, it deepens the mystery. "So…since you had seen and know more than us, do you have any idea who did that? And out of what?" Gumi asked, but Kaito had ignored her. His face full of worries and he was focusing on something else.

"Len, Gumi, both of you hide somewhere, be it top of the trees or in the brushes or anything you like. Just hide, and don't make any noise. Someone is coming." Kaito said, while concerting of making a dense mist using the water stone he had. "I will stay here to divert away the attention. Do not come out from hiding place unless I approved it. And don't ask any more questions, we have no time."

Having no room to protest, Len decided to climb up to trees, to get a better view than ground, and Gumi chose to do the same thing on another tree, next and near to Len's. Kaito, on the other hand, sat back down, waiting in alert.

Waiting for a few minutes, Len thought Kaito was pulling a joke on them when suddenly, someone walked in from the path they had just come…..it seems that intruder was a highly accomplish wood user, to be able to find the covered route from Gumi. Carefully to move some branches from view, he saw it was a brown armored, wearing a red cape Knight, together with his white horse. He was an Earth Knight who served under the King of Terra and Grand Church of Hamonia.

Despite the mist Kaito had created, the Knight still found him. "Hey, have you seen anyone passing here?" Walking towards him cautiously, he asked.

Kaito, with his hands at the back of his head like he was resting, answered causally, "Nope, I doubt so sir. You see, I just reached this area when the mist thickens, so I was just resting for a moment before continuing towards Karakura Village."

Lair….Gumi thought. Who knew he could do that, seeing him acting so decent around Lily? Looking at Len, who had shook his head. It seems like he had shared the same thought with her.

The Knight, too, didn't seem to believe him, or only half believing him. "So…..where are you from, traveler? You don't seem to be our country men or someone who lived near. And what's your business to Karakura Village when you only just out from there?"

Crap…..he knows…. Len thought, and continue to look at Kaito, hoping he could counter back or else, he might need to help him. After all, he's still a patient. But Kaito didn't seem to be surprised from the Knights words.

"I just out from there…..? Did you found my Twin? Actually I'm on my way looking for him too." Standing up, he patted the dust on his pants. Both Gumi and the Knight looked shocked by his words, while Len had his face….looking screwed. The way Kaito spoke had really remind him the times when he was teasing him, light and un-serious.

"…..That's your twin? Serious? I pity you, kid. That man had abducted two children from Karakura Village that I was sent to protect. Now I'm on my way to look for them. Would you like to come along so that you could ask him not to do any stupid things, and maybe I can ask for a lighter punishment for him." The Knight said, patting his back trying to comfort him for his 'misfortune'.

"Well….." Hesitating, Kaito looked troubled. "Maybe it just a mistake? My brother is a kind hearted man, and he couldn't do something like this…"

However, his sentence broke off by another intruder, with this time a knight with similar dressing except it was Dark Blue- A general knight from Aqua country, and with his appearance greatly shocked Len and Gumi. Even Len couldn't see Kaito expressions he knew he must had been shocked too. What does an Aquarian Knight doing here? Len thought. Without any warning, a huge wind blowing off the mist Kaito had created, and nearly blowing the both youngsters from the tree down, too.

Once the mist was cleared, the blue Knight that just arrived looked like he seen a ghost. "You!" He said, pointing at Kaito, who had narrowed his eyes. "Grab hold of him, Matin, he is one of our wanted man!"

"But Chris, he said he has a twin and he was looking for him…." The Earth Knight, Matin, replied. But the Aquarian just cut off his words. "Fools! He has no twin, and he's Luc-"

Suddenly, roots grown from nowhere, tied his mouth to prevent him from speaking, and a few more grabbed him from moving. The brown knight shared the same fate as the newcomer. As soon as they were tied, a thick mist rolled in, preventing Len to see anything happening below. A blue light and a soft cried, it just happening too fast to register what was happening when the mist and the light died away in the same time, with both knights missing from the burned ground they had stand, and only the white horse left, drinking water.


Oh. well. Let's hope that everyone really don't have to wait too long for Rin-rin & Gaku to show up... ops, did i said something for the next chap? *gasp*
