LEGEND OF THE WHITE SKY
Chapter 2: On The Road
The night was dark and was lit by the moon and the stars above. Xiao Lang walks in the silence of the night, heading toward a nearby town, looking for a restaurant and maybe rests or eats before he continues. It was total quiet until Xiao Lang enters the town, heard screaming and yelling and the sound of someone fighting. He followed the noise and get closer to see what is going on. He saw a girl fighting against a group of males, she seems confident and was good at beating those guys up too. Next to her was a girl about her age, frightened, horrified. The girl who is fighting, she jumps up and do a high kick which hits a guy which falls back and hit another person from the group; she turn to the right and knock a different person up, unaware that there is someone sneaking behind her back. Xiao Lang jumps out from where he's hiding and hits the guy who is sneaking behind the girl, uncertain if he's helping the right side. "Thanks, but I can do this myself, I'm a big girl," the girl shouted to him
"You're welcome? I think," Xiao Lang bewildered, "would you tell me what's going on?"
"Later, busy," she is still fighting, "long story." The gang was defeated and left, crying for their masters. "Cowards! Don't do 'em again or you'll be facing me again!" and she turned to the frightened girl and said, "You should go back home, your parents musta be very worried. By the way, watch where you going at night."
"Thank you," the girl said softly and walks away. The young girl fixes her hair so that is presentable again and turn to the stranger and said, "You're new here right?"
"Yeah, just get here at the minute when I heard you um, yelling and shouting," he answered
"I'm new here too, it's a dangerous town, losta things occurs around here, especially at night," she told him
"So what's your name?" Xiao Lang asked, "I'm Xiao Lang Li."
"The name's Sakura Kinomoto," Sakura replied
"So, Kinomoto-chan, I've notice you don't use your sword when you fight earlier"
"Those freaks are not worth it, I can take 'em by hands," she told him, "well, I gotta go my way, nice meeting you."
"Like wise," Xiao Lang said, "maybe we'll meet again Kinomoto-chan." Sakura disappeared down the road, into the dark and Xiao Lang continues on his way.
The sun begins to rise to start another day. A morning in the city is so different from where he's from; there are clamors within the crowd, people shouting, trying to get customers to buy their merchandises and other goods; there were people of all ages wandering on the street, running, screaming, talking about this and that, thieves running wild across the streets stealing foods as well as other things they can get their hands on, and eyes, mysterious eyes filled with lies, glanced around; it was a total chaos. Xiao Lang has never experience this before, but it does not matters to him because he always expect the unexpected, always prepare for any actions; at least that's what he thought, a guy who has never live in the real, dangerous world before.
Xiao Lang enters a restaurant; it was small and old, but not completely bad. It filled with all kind of people, talking about all kinds of subjects; he heard chatters through out the restaurant, it was loud due to all the individuals that exited in the place. Xiao Lang found an empty table and sits down and calls, "Waiter?"
"Yes sir," a waiter responded, "what can I get you?"
"I'll take a bowl of noodle, thank you," Xiao Lang said. The waiter left and head toward the cooking room as Xiao Lang sits alone and observes the room and the atmosphere around him. The door opens and a young noble guy stepped in with his crew and sit at a table close to where Xiao Lang is sitting. "I'm so excited about finding the White Sky, my father will be please," the noble guy told his crew
'How do they know about the White Sky?' Xiao Lang wondered to himself
"But how do you know where it is?" one of the guy ask his master
"I've found it out from someone, I'll tell father as soon as we get home," the noble guy started, "he'll gonna let me go find it and I'll be the greatest sword fighter there is."
"Master Ling, how can you find the sword when you don't even bother train hard?" a guy from the group asked
"What the hell do you say?" Ling rise with anger, "You think I can't do it? Remember who is the greatest young fighter in this town?"
"Y -y -yes," the guy stuttered, "it's you master."
"But master Ling," a second guy start, "you are more have fun, chilling type of guy. Why do you want to be a serious sword fighter all the sudden?"
"Because girls want a good fighter you dumbass!" Ling yelled
"Oh! Smart master! You're brilliant!" the guys agreed
"Of course I am you nitwit!"
"Let's order some food!"
Xiao Lang listens to their conversation as he eats his food. 'How in the hell did they know about where the White Sky is?' he wondered in his head, 'But only Master Zao Long know about it.someone must have told them. Pei, he thought, must be the one.' Xiao Lang quietly devours his noodle, still wondering how a guy like that knows about the legend. A waitress brings out Ling's food as well as his guys; she set them on their table carefully. Ling glanced at her and lift his hands and grip her arms. "Lemme go," the girl cried, "I have work to do."
"Forget it, you're staying here with me!" Ling shouted and pulls her onto his lap. The girl was frightened and struggles to escape but she couldn't, she was too weak. Ling lays his hand on her legs and rubs it gently up toward her stomach. Xiao Lang hits his table with a force that creates one of the chopsticks flew up and hits Ling's hand, "Leave her alone, this isn't a prostitute house, it's a restaurant!" Xiao Lang demanded. Ling got up from the table and stepped to Xiao Lang's table, "Who the hell do you think you are?" Ling asked in disgust, "No one, I mean no one can do that to me and walk away with it!"
"Wanna bet?" Xiao Lang asked and stands up and head to the door. Ling's force blocks his ways with their swords; Xiao Lang gave Ling a glare and said, "You leave me no choice." Xiao Lang pulls out his sword and attacked Ling.
