Chapter 6
* * * * *
"Ok Van, where am I?" "Gaea" "Then going to Tokyo is out of the question" "Where?" "Oh, a city in Japan." They stumble over some broken twigs. "I guess almost being dead didn't affect you're ability to walk then." "Not really, but it does hurt a lot." "Good the trees are thinning out, there should be some kind of an end to the forest soon." What am I going to do? We have no means of transportation and I can't carry on like this. I'm going to faint it's so hot. Why didn't I just leave him?
"OH, oh a road! A road thank god!" "What are you cheering about we still have to walk down the road." In the distance there was a wagon clattering loudly coming towards them. "Maybe not" Yukari muttered "What did you say?" "MAYBE NOT!" She shouted into his ear. "Look there's a wagon coming down the road Van" "No, don't stop it" "Why not? We won't have to walk" "I don't want my people to see me like this" "Your what?" "People, I'm the king of Fanalia" "Sorry King Van, but I don't care. We are getting on that wagon, and you are not going to just walk away. Because like it or not you are severely injured, would your people like a dead king? What good would that do?" "Fine"
"Oh, here it comes" she gently helps Van sit down. Yukari quickly steps into the middle of the road and starts shouting "STOP, STOP! PLEASE! HELP ME!" The horses and wagon starts to slow down, when it finally stops the horses nose is two inches away from her face. "Phew! That was close" The leader jumps down from the wagon and Yukari runs around to speak to him. "Thank you for stopping. I found a boy in the woods covered in blood. He said his name is Van; he needs medical attention right away. He is conscious, but I half carried him all the way to the road and if you could just give us a ride into Errr… Fanalia? Yeah, that would be so kind of you. Please?" "My name is Jack and it would be an honor to bring Lord Van into the city" "Thank you sooo much Jack. You have no idea how grateful I am."
A/N: Ok I know that Jack isn't exactly what you'd call a Japanese name but I had nothing. As always I hope you enjoyed the chapter and sorry it's so short again but I had a bit of trouble. I actually wrote something different in my notebook but I changed where I was going with the story while typing. ^_^
