Chapter thirteen: Inside the cave
Keitaro entered the cave. It was very dark and he couldn't see anything.
-I better ask Kame to make some light-
But before Keitaro could say anything a white orb appeared floating over them. The orb emitted a light that let Keitaro see clearly.
"Thanks Kame, I really needed that"
"You're welcome"
"Well, let's continue"
They continued walking inside the cave. Keitaro was surprised because he had expected to find some drawings or traps, but so far it looked like a normal cave. So he stopped to ask Kame.
"I had expected to find something unusual in this cave, but I don't see anything weird here"
"That's because we haven't reached the temple of the black vase"
"But you said this was the cave"
"Yes and this is the cave. What I mean is that this cave will take us to the entrance of the temple… later you will see what I mean"
"If you say so"
Keitaro didn't understand what Kame meant, but he was sure he was going to find out. So he decided to keep walking.
They kept walking until they decided to take a break.
"We should rest; this cave is longer that what it looks"
-I wonder what the girls are doing. I'm sure they'll be fine… But I forgot to leave a note-
"Kame can you do me a favor?"
"Sure Keitaro, what do you need?"
"I need to send the girls a note to tell them I'm fine"
Kame moved his flipper and a piece of paper and a pen appeared.
"You can write what you need here and I'll send it to the girls"
"Thank you, Kame"
After writing the note, Keitaro handed it to Kame who moved his flipper again and the note disappeared.
"Well it's done"
"Thank you again"
Meanwhile back at the inn.
"Have any of you seen Keitaro?"
"No, I haven't"
"Me neither Naru-sempai"
"He usually is on time for breakfast"
"Maybe he just wanted to sleep a bit more"
"Yeah, I'm sure that's it"
"I better go check"
Naru walked to Keitaro's room. Once there she slide the door carefully and looked in.
-He isn't here. But nobody saw him left the inn. Maybe he is in the hot springs-
Naru was going to leave when she saw the note on Keitaro's desk. She picked it up and read it.
"Dear Naru
I'm fine; I just have to leave to do some errands. I went out very early and I didn't want to wake you up so I left this note. I'll be back about dinner time.
With love.
Keitaro"
-Well at least he left a note. I'll make him a special dinner-
With that Naru left the room smiling.
Back at the cave they start walking again and they continued until they got to what looked like the end of the cave.
"This looks like the end. And I don't see any entrance"
"Do you see that pond over there?"
Keitaro turned around and looked at what look like a pond; it was made by the drops that fell from the ceiling of the cave.
"Yes, I see it, but it's just a pond"
"Actually it's a secret passage"
"No way"
"It's deeper than it looks like, Tama can you show him"
"Yes"
Tama crawled to the pond, entered it and then disappeared. A couple of seconds she reappeared.
"This goes to the other side of the wall, and is deep enough for you to pass trough"
"I told you"
"Ok, ok I'm sorry"
Kame joined Tama in the pond and together they go trough it. Keitaro entered and crossed the passage too. Once in the other side he got out of the water.
"Now I'm all wet. I'm going to get sick"
"Don't worry"
Kame raised a flipper and Keitaro's clothes and hair were dry again.
"That's better"
Keitaro looked around he could see a set of stairs that left to two big pillars carved with strange symbols. Behind the pillars there was a big stone door with a drawing of a vase on top of a turtle shell.
"That Keitaro is the entrance to the temple"
"How do we open the door?"
"That's easy just push it"
"But isn't it very heavy, I mean look at the door's size and it's made of stone"
"Ok, Ok I'll help you out"
Kame flied to the door and gave it a push. The door opened and Keitaro was shocked.
"It wasn't so heavy"
"Ye…yeah"
Keitaro looked inside the door and saw a big corridor. He wasn't sure if he wanted to enter or not. Tama and Kame entered the corridor.
"Come on Keitaro. You're not afraid, are you?"
"Of course not"
"Then come in"
"Ok"
-I didn't get this far to give up now-
"I'm coming"
