Chapter 30

'will you shut up!' yelled Yunie.

'awwww but Yunie why?' whined Alan.

'cause your a complete idiot.' she yelled back.

'awwww did i say something wrong?' he asked.

'of course you idiot.' Yunie yelled. 'i wouldn't be yelling at you for no reason.'

'are you sure about that Yunie.' came Kisho's voice. 'you yell for just about anything.'

'don't give me that you idiot.' Yunie shot at him. 'anyway. What's with the smile and whats with your new attitude?'

'huh?' Kisho smiled at her as he walked out some trees. 'have i done something wrong?'

'yeah am creeped out by your attitude thats what!.' Yunie moaned. 'you have been creepy since earlier today.'

'ah yes.' Kisho smiled. 'we need to talk about that in a while. Alone please.'

'umm...' Yunie began and nodded her head.

'oh the love birds are finally going to go all the way.' Alan cried happily.

'you know what?' Yunie yelled grabbing him. 'am going to break your neck.'

She began to strangle him. Alan tried to get free but Yunie wouldn't let him. Everyone looked up and sighed. Kisho went up behind Yunie and placed his arms around her and pulled her away from Alan. Yunie stood there frozen as Kisho pulled her close to him.

'calm down Yunie.' he muttered in her ear.

Alan walked over to Tai and they both nodded there heads with a serious looks on their faces. Kisa sat there playing the dirt not paying attention to anything. Alan and Tai began to whisper for a while until they both stood up and looked over at the two. Kisho was holding Yunie in a tight but gentle hug. Yunie stood there for a little longer until she elbowed Kisho and ran to Tai and Alan. Tai walked over to Kisho and dragged him away into the trees.

'so Kisho you want to tell me what's going on through your head?' Tai asked.

'what are you on about?' Kisho said looking at him.

'Alan what's wrong with you?' Yunie asked starring at him, noticing a very serious look on his face.

'umm...Yunie' Alan muttered. Yunie looked at him. 'i also think he knows.'

Yunie starred at him and then at the ground. 'seriously?'

'yes and he is putting on a act.' Alan muttered.

Yunie punched the floor. 'it aint time for him to know.'

Kisho leaned on the tree looking at Tai as they stood starring at one another. No words were exchanged and they remained quiet. Just then Yunie walked over and whispered into Tai's ear and he nodded and walked away. Yunie stopped and leaned onto a tree infront of Kisho and sighed.

'Kisho...' she began.

'Yunie.' Kisho said looking at her.

'i have something to tell you.' they both said at the same time.

'you first.' Yunie said.

'no you.' Kisho sighed.

'Kisho just go first or i'll hurt you.' she said forming a fist.

'fine.' he sighed. 'i just found this letter that my sister slipped into my bag. Shows that am useless at times. I found it jsut after we faced that beast eariler today. I went to get a drink and i found it. My sister said that she is scared for me and that she worries for me. She wants me to be more open and honest and just before we left her when we was in the village she asked me to make a promise and she wrote the promise down on the letter so i wont forget and i did until i read it again.'

'oh?' she quietly muttered. 'at least it aint what i thought.'

'Yunie.' he began. 'she asked me...umm...how to put this...' he began to go red in the face and put his hand into his pocket. 'look Yunie.' he grabbed her hand and pulled her close to him.

Yunie looked at him and giggled. 'are you trying to say you like me?' Kisho looked away. 'cause your useless at doing it.'

'shut up.' Kisho said quietly looking at her. Yunie giggled again. 'Yunie...for a while...' he took a deep breath. 'i like you okay.' he said quickly.

Yunie slightly went red. 'i like you too Kisho. Your so fun and a great friend.'

'ummm thats not what i mean.' Kisho sighed. 'when you get hurt. I get worried. Back at your home town i wanted to be the one who did the killing for what happened to you. Back when you saved me it made me realise that i really did like you. You saved me quiet a few times and now...' he hugged him tightly. 'i want to be able to protect you. I really do. You mean alot to me Yunie.' Kisho moved slightly and went to kiss her but Yunie moved away. Kisho let go of her and sighed. 'am sorry Yunie. I had to tell you...just incase...something happens.' Yunie became quiet and almost began to cry. 'Yunie...' he began but she turned and ran off.

Kisho stood there and punched the tree. He felt his whole hand shattered from the punch and pain shot through his hand. He headed back to everyone who was joking and playing around but Yunie wasnt there. Kisho stood there holding his hand and Kisa saw him and ran to him. She touched his hand and saw him in pain and began to heal him. Tai and Alan looked up at him.

'where' mummy?' Kisa asked as she just finsihed healing him.

'yes Kisho. Where is Yunie?' asked Tai.

'i told her how i felt about her and she ran.' Kisho sighed sadly. 'maybe i shouldnt of. It seemed to of scared her.'

Tai and Alan looked at one another and nodded. Alan looked at him. 'so chase after her Kisho. If you love her then go after her. We'll come.'

'yes if you love someone you should go after them and tell them.' Tai cried.

'yes love is the most beautifulest thing in the world. If we can tell the one we love them then it shouldn't be hard for you.' Alan smiled.

Kisho stopped and looked at the ground. 'very well. There is something i want to give to her.'

'alright.' Alan yelled jumping up. 'we are on a mission of love.'

'yes we are my Alan.' Tai yelled too.

'oh Tai.' smiled Alan grabbing his hand. 'i love you.'

'ah and i love you too.' Tai smiled. Kisho and Kisa starred at them as they held hands then they broke away.

'it ain the same without little Yun Yun attacking us.' cried Alan.

ah that is so true.' cried Tai. 'we need little Yun Yun to hurt us.'

'Yun Yun?' Kisho muttered.

'i can easily see why Yunie gets so mad with you two.' Kisa muttered looking at them.

All of them climbed onto their horses and began to ride in search of Yunie. Kisa sat with Kisho and held onto him as they rode fast. Kisho sighed as he stopped.

'how can Yunie get so far in such a short time.' growled Kisho.

'it's Yunie.' Tai said. 'she has a habit of disappearing.'

'oh right.' sighed Kisho.

'we will find her daddy.' Kisa smiled looking at him.

Kisho looked down at her and smiled. 'yeah we will.'

As the trees began to thinner, they noticed a town not to far from them. 'i bet she is there.' smiled Alan.

'what makes you say that?' Kisho asked looking at him.

'that.' he smiled pointing over to Yunie who was sat within the town looking up at the sky.

Kisa jumped from her horse and ran over to Yunie. 'mummy.' she yelled running to her. Yunie looked up as Kisa jumped into her arms. 'mummy. We found you.'

'huh?' Yunie looked down at Kisa and then up at the three.

'Yunie.' Tai said. 'there was no need to run off was there?'

'am sorry.' Yunie muttered. 'i...' she looked at Kisho. 'i...i got scared.'

'scared?' Kisho muttered jumping from his horse. 'am sorry. I didn't mean to scare you.'

'let the love birds talk Kisa.' smiled Alan. 'oh just before you do. Goodbye.'

'ah yes.' Tai smiled climbing onto his horse. 'its time to say goodbye.'

'what?' Yunie yelled looking up at Tai.

'yes we are too leave.' Tai smiled.

'what? Why?' Yunie asked looking at him.

'because we are in search of the one thing that can help.' Alan smiled.

'to help?' muttered Kisho.

'do you have too. You already know it.' Yunie said.

'ah Yunie, my child.' Tai said climbing from his horse and hugging her. 'you need to be on your own to finish this. With me around, you will seek my advice and comfort but you cant have it. You need to tell the truth eventually and you need to be strong. If you fear it then you will be like this for the rest of your life my child. I will seek you out soon. I promise.' He kissed Yunie on the head and climbed onto his horse.

'Goodbye grandaddy. Bye Uncle Al Al.' waved Kisa.

'bye you two.' Kisho sighed. 'going to miss having you about old man.'

'Kisho. Please just look after her and tell her how you feel.' Tai said looking at him.

'i will.'

'so Alan what do you wanna sing?' Tai asked as they began to leave.

'ah. i dunno.' smiled Alan.

'lets sing...I dunno the words to this song, to this song, to this song...' Tai began to sing.

'I dunno the words to this song, to this song, to this song...' Alan began to sing too.

The two began to sing the same words over and over as the three stood there waving goodbye. 'they are idiots.' sighed Yunie.

'yes they are.' smiled Kisho.

'me sleepy.' Kisa whined cuddling Yunie's leg.

'okay lets go and rest somewhere.' Yunie smiled looking down at her.
