I was thinking about how to make the 3rd chapter more dramatic. I adapted it to a drama series that I watched. Here it is, the 3rd chapter of "Protector", a Blade of the Immortal Fanfic.

3rd Chapter: finding you

Why am I thinking like this? I'm confused…

Manji thought as he took another shot of sake. He replayed the thing Rin said earlier. He has been in the café for so long now. It was afternoon.

Flashback

"So you think that I still act like a child? Well I'll tell you. I'm no baby and I do things by myself…"

"Dumb ol' Honored Brother!"

End of flashback

The waitress approached Manji, grasping the tray in her arms. "Sir? Is there something bothering you? If there is, it has something to do with your female friend of yours." She sat down beside him. "I think she was quite affected on what you did there earlier."

Manji faced the waitress. "What did I do wrong?"

" Maybe because you treated her like a child or your little sister. Look I don't want to join in your problem with your friend, but you know, what I observed earlier, she is willing to help you. In my opinion, she has grown up so fast. She is not a child anymore. You should not treat her like a baby anymore. She is grown up and she knows how to make her decisions in her life." The waitress stood up and picked up her tray beside her. "Think about it. And I think she still needs you at this time."

"Can I get my order now? I'm starving now." One customer ordered. "Coming up sir. I'm very sorry."

Manji thought about what she said. He noticed some of Rin's ogonchus still stuck up on the ground. She didn't get to gather all of them because of her mood.

"And I think she needs you at this time…"

Manji watched the sun go down. The sky was turning bright orange.

"Yeah. Maybe the waitress was right. Rin has grown up. I can see it in her. She has improved a little. I understand now…" He stood up and left 2 ryo on the table and left the café.

"I'm gonna find you Rin. I'm sorry…" he whispered to himself as he left the café with the bloody corpse, all diced up and already infested with flies.

Ryo – gold coin of high value.

Yeah it's kinda short but I made this to make you eager to read the next chapter. Give me some comments. I'm waiting…
