"Did you see him? " Asks Sinbad while holding a poster with a drawing of Kikiriku. Some women in the company drew them to help them. Rurumu was in no state to help them unfortunately. The lost of her son had mentally affected her to the point she refused to eat.

" He is so high." And he set his hand on his leg. To give the man he was asking to an overview of the height of Kikiriku

" No." Said the man to who he had asked. They had been placing posters on the walls and been asking the civilians if they had seen their missing Imuchack for the whole morning. And they had nothing. Not even a clue, nothing. They were loosing hope, they even went to the authorities to ask for help of if someone had brought him there in hope to be giving back to his parents. But no, it hadn't. The only option left was that he was still in the forest, and they hoped it wasn't. Because there were a lot of wild animals in there. And the beast Ja'far fought was a prove of it. They would have to go in the forest to look for him and for evidence that he might have missed.

~Meanwhile~

It hasn't been a whole day since she had found him and yet he had caused her so much trouble. He had been crying nearly the whole morning because he was hungry. And Asia refused to give him anything. The rest of meat was too precious to be eaten in one or two days time. Normally for her the meat she had hunted yesterday was mean to last at least one week. Asia was used to have a meal per day, not three like a normal being. But Blue was still a tolder, he needed to eat these three meals. And so to make him stop and go avoid making the animals go away. She had to make fire, cook a little part of meat and then chew it before to give him. And doing it made her hungry. She had the taste of the cooked meat on her tongue. But she would have to hold herself together. She would eat at nighttime and not before. She was about to go out and look for water but the smell of something burning and the beat being suddenly closer to her make her stop and look behind her. How he did it, she didn't know. But he did, he had in a way set the animals skin and the rest of meat on fire. Unfortunately for them, they didn't had water or something to set the fire off. She had grabbed Kikiriku and ran out of the cave. And not long after, a lot of smoke came out of the cave. Asia was now glaring at the blue haired tolder.

The said tolder only gave her a toothless smile. He had no idea what he had just done. Because of him she lost nearly all her belongings.

" Why me?" Thought Asia. How could fate be so cruel towards her. Didn't she suffers enough already? She couldn't go hunt now, Blue would only slow her down and her dagger was inside the cave, she had dropped it when she took Blue out. And now all she had left was the necklace of her mother and the clothes she had on, who consisted of animals skin she had attached to each other. She will have to wait for the fire to end, but in the mean time she would have to look after Blue. And she would have to look for food once again. But this time she is more than certain that all the animals ran away, not only because of Blue cries but the smoke must have definitely scared them. So, she had to go into the city. And this wasn't pleasing her a bit. Because she didn't had the usual clothes the 'normal' people wears. And what will she do of Blue. She can't let him on his own, he will only cause another accident. Either way she had to go in town and she is taking him with her. Hopefully she will find some granny to take care of him. So, Asia took Blue's tiny hand and began to walk direction the city. And fortunately for her, the travel went smoothly and without any troubles. She wasn't in town yet when she spotted an old hut. Curious Blue pulled her hand and started to walk to the hut. Asia followed him, she didn't let him guide her there. Like she would have someone guide her anywhere any way. Asia carefully opened the door, she knows by experience to be quiet to not awake , if there was someone or something, the habitant of the hut. She took a look inside, there was a crib, a wooden table and chair. The place was clearly abandoned, there was dust everywhere and the walls and roof didn't looked to be in a good shape. But it will do it for the mean time.After all they must wait for the fire and the smoke to go away. The fact that they found this abandoned house was playing in Asia favor, she could leave Blue in the crib and go without him slowing her down. And the fact that Blue was a tolder, mead he need to take naps some times and she would take advantage of it. So, she took Blue in her arms and set him in the crib. Asia hoped that it would last till she come back, she didn't wanted to look after a ran away Blue. She was about o exit the hut, but Blue's protesting made her stop.

"Sis...sis." And if there was a thing she didn't wanted to be called it was 'Sis'. It brought too many bad memories she only wanted to forget. And she only know him since yesterday, so she didn't saw for what reason he was calling her sister. They are strangers, not siblings related by blood.

"FOR THE LAST TIME, MY NAME IS ASIA !" She yelled at the blue haired tolder. Asia had learn to control her temper in order to survive. But Blue always, since she met him thus yesterday, found a way to push on the wrong button and making her mad to the point she was losing her temper. But then, once again, Blue's eyes became teary. Asia crushed her luck and herself. She know that he didn't liked to be shouted at and that it would mostly make him cry.

"Blue please, now it's not the time."She tried to calm him down, but it didn't looked to work. And Asia didn't know what to do, she had never took care of a child, may it be a baby or a three year old, she didn't know what she must do. Maybe he wanted her to stay with him, but that was something she couldn't do. She must go in town and steal something to eat for both of them. It wasn't the first time she had to go and steal, but she would rather avoid it. But she could give him something that would make like she had her presence with him without being with him. After all the newborn animals felt in security when they could feel or smell their mother's scent, so she took one of the animal skin on her. It was her cape made of a wolf's skin. It was big enough to cover him entirely.

"Aa gaa?"He didn't seem to understand why she did it, but took the cape in his little arms and hug it thing against him and was rubbing his face against the soft fur.

"Now I want you to stay here till I come back, okay? You don't move from here." Asia told Blue while she had her hands in front of her in a passive manner while taking steps back and nodding her head slowly, hoping he would understand and do like she told him. Blue nodded and she took it as a sing of understanding. But only did she knows that he was only doing like her. Asia slowly exit the hut before to close the door and let out a sigh. She started to walk to the city. She knows she will draw attention dressed like that, but she didn't had other clothes and what she could have used had been burned in the cave. But she will only to have to steal clothes then,at least she won't draw attention if she is dressed like everyone and it wouldn't hurt to something else on than the animals skin she had on. And so she could use them as blanket for the night. When she saw the town from far she took notice that there weren't guards, good it will make it easier for her then. She enter the town quite easily, but just like she though, she drew attention. She could feel the gaze of the people on her. And it made her uncomfortable, she wasn't used to be in crowed places. And the fact that everyone was looking at her would make her task more difficult. So, she decided to go steal clothes first. That way she will change her clothing and she could melt in the crow easier, making her look like a normal civilian. But first she needed to be in a crowed place and have a clothing shop. And she found it quite easily, there was a shop who had taken some of clothes outside for the costumer to look at. But it was also an easier way to steal it. When she came to the shop, the other women gave her surprised and disgusting looks and low messes between the women began. Asia wasn't deaf, she knew that it was about her they were talking. She tried to ignore them the best she could, but some words were hurting her, she tried to look like she hadn't heard it or that it didn't affect her. And she wanted to yell at these women hurtfulwords too, but it would draw more attention on her than she already has. She saw a short dress that would make it, it was white, had a small belt that was going around the waist and it didn't had sleeves.Now the only thing she need is a distraction. She looked at each of her sides, there wasn't any guards. She pushed the stand and the clothes fell on the ground. She quickly took the dress and started to walkaway fast, not running or she would have been directly caught. When she was far enough from the crow she turned around a corner, she took a good look to see if there was someone looking before to change in the dress. Normally take her clothes off if someone was looking didn't bother her, but here it would draw all the attention on her. Naturallyshe hadn't took everything off in one time, she had first take the upper skins of and then put the dress before to take the rest off. Then she walked out of the corner and now fully dressed. Asia felt lighter in her new outfit, the animals skin were a bit heavy because there were attached to each other and not stitched together. But now she could use one of these as a bag to put the food she was about to steal. And so Asia purchase her walk in the city, she didn't noticed the posters of a blue haired tolder on the walls of the houses and shops. She had only one objective and it was to find food, take it and go back to Blue. She didn't know what she felt toward him, it was confusing. Was she worried ? Did she felt pity for him ? She didn't know, after having spending ten years thinking only about her survival and running she didn't know what kind of feeling she must have for people anymore. But who could blame her ? She was only five at the time when everything was token from her. She didn't had to walk for long before to walk in a market. There were a lot of different fruits she never saw before and she couldn't help but wonder how they taste. But she had to do fast this time and ran away. She went to the nearest stand which was a fruit stand. There were big round yellow fruit that looked tasty. The owner wasn't looking her way and she still had the skins in her hand. She took the largest and biggest one and began to take some of the fruits in front of her and set them in what she was now using as a bag. She was about to take another fruit when..

" Hey you!" It was the owner of the stand that was talking to her. "Put that down." She looked at the fruit and then at the owner. She didn't think twice before to set the fruit in the animal skin and to run for it.

"THIEF." Was yelled grabbing everyone's attention. She was running through the crow and everyone was looking at her. She took the risk to look back and saw guards running through the crow. She began to ran faster and when the crow wasn't too crowed anymore. The guards that were purchasing her weren't out of the crowed crow and couldn't accelerate. But Asia didn't slowed down, it was the opposite. She tried to find a way out, but she didn't remember which way he took and at this rate she will be caught. And this was something she couldn't let happen. Blue was still waiting for her to come back. Once again she took a look back and when she turned her head around she only saw was long strands of purple hair before to crash.

Sinbad was distributing posters of Kikiriku in hope people would have see him when he saw a pretty girl with a bag running his way. They couldn't do anything to prevent to crash in each other. Sinbad fell on the ground and Asia was on top of him and the posters wee slowly falling around them. Her red like eyes met Sinbad pure golden eyes. Her bag fell and the fruits were rolling on the ground. They're faces were at a few inches of each other. Asia long hair was falling of her shoulder , letting some sunlight past. And her necklace was hanging. It was the first time Asia stared at a man, his features was in her opinion perfectly matched with each other making him a beautiful man. And for Sinbad, she wasn't like the woman he had met until now. She wasn't like the girls in Tisson village or the womanin Reim and Imuchack. Her eyes were like ruby's, a precious stone that was shining like a wild fire. But there was something else in her eyes, Sinbad had already saw it but could not remember what it was nor when. Her necklace had an oval red stone that was matching here eyes. Her little lips looked soft and Sinbad wonder how they felt. In other words, she was beautiful. They felt like hours had passed, but they came back to reality when a poster fell next to Sinbad face. Asia took her eyes off of Sinbad and looked at the piece of paper. Her eyes grew wide when she saw who it was.

"But it's..." Asia began and it immediately took Sinbad attention, she was the first person who looked to have see Kikiriku or took him in, but Asia couldn't finish her sentence that shout cut her off.

" THERE! THE THIEF!" One of the guards that was purchasing her shouted.

"Crap." She thought. She quickly took the fruit on the ground and put them quickly back in the animal skin she was using as a bag and ran. She hadn't bother to take the other animals skin, she was in a hurry.

"Wait, I-" Sinbad tried to stop the girl, wanting to ask her for Kikiriku. But she was already gone and guards were passing him.

"SIN!" Yelled Ja'far when he saw him. Hinahoho, Vittel and Mahad were with him. They had heard the guards yell and saw Sinbad fell. Ja'far was worried that the girl had stolen one of Sinbad djinns.

Sinbad was now on his two feet looking in the direction Asia ran off.

" Guys we will follow this girl." He said. Sinbad was about to take a step, they had to hurry if they didn't wanted to lose her, but was punched on the head by Hinahoho.

" What the hell Sinbad!? Kikiriku is missing and all you're thinking about is to run after some random girl!" Said the furious Imuchack. His son was somewhere in the nature probably scared and his friend thinks about girls. So, Hinahoho had more than one reason to be mad at Sinbad.

" It is about Kikiriku. She looked like she knew him, I saw her expression when she looked at it and she was about to say something when the guards interrupt her." Exclaimed Sinbad a bit angry, he didn't liked to be punched on the head. And he found Rurumu's slams on the head painful, it was nothing in comparison to her husband. Just after he had said his sentence Sinbad began to run in the direction the girl took off.

The other began to catch up with him.

" Are you sure Sinbad? What if she know nothing about Kikiriku location?" Asks Vittel. That was something Sinbad hadn't thought about, but what had he to loose?

"I don't know, but it is the only clue we have right now." Sinbad answers Vittel. Their pace had to slow down because of the crow, there were a lot of people and they must make a domino fall down by making one of them fall. At this moment Sinbad thought they had definitely lost her, there was no chance that they could find her between all these people. But then he saw her.

"COME DOWN, YOU THIEF!" Was yelled and the group had to lift their heads up and saw a girl climbing on a house wall and end up on the roof. They wanted to go there, but by the time they would get there it would be already too late, because Asia didn't wasted any time and jumped from roof to roof. Hinahoho didn't wanted to let her go so easily, after all she might know where his son is. So, he took Sinbad and threw him in the air, Sinbad crashed on a rooftop. And not long after Vittel, Ja'far and Mahad joined him.

" GO, I WILL CATCH UP." Yelled Hinahoho who was still prisoner of the crow of people. They nodded at him and began to run after the girl who knew maybe where their missing companion was. They were amazed at the girls speed, she could even compete with Hinahoho who could run faster with his Imuchack strength in his legs.

" You won't get rid of us so easily." Said Ja'far when he took his blades out. And fortunately for Sinbad and Asia he did used his house vessel. Sinbad because it would be a pity to harm a beautiful girl and also if she died from it they wouldn't know anything. And for Asia because she would have to feel pain in this. And Ja'far aimed for her legs. It was supposed to catch her legs, but she avoided it easily.

Asia who was jumping from roof to roof had lost the guards, they were too heavy to climb without falling. Suddenly she felt the hair in her neck going up. Her instincts were kicking in and they never failed her. So she followed her instinct to jump and jumped. She looked beneath her and saw two blades in the ground where her feet were supposed to be. She took a look back, it couldn't be the city guards, they didn't had that kind of weapons. She saw four men in the distance, she remembers one of them. The one with purple hair, the one on who she crashed in and ended fell on him.

"Why was he following me?" And not long after she thought about it she found the answer.

" Blue." He was distributing posters of him, she would have loved to give them Blue if it wasn't for the guards trying to catch her. Because it wasn't because she didn't saw them that they weren't looking for her. She jumped to another roof, she was in mid air when she found herself going on the right. She had to turn her feet to her right side so that her body could do the same. And she did the right thing because the blades came right were she was a second ago. But then she was grabbed by arms, but these arms were unnaturally long. And the thing was that she still in the air was. One of her hands had the bag and couldn't take this one out. But her other arms easily entire out of these arms that were holding her. But what she hadn't except was that the arms were taking her to them. So she punched the man's arm hard, mostly breaking it. And be instantly let her go. Because she was stronger than normal being she could make more damage.

"VITTEL. Are you okay?!" Shouted a worried big guy with tan skin and bandages on his face. The man with purple hair whose name must be Vittel merely nodded at him while grabbing his broken arm. Asia know that she could keep up on the rooftops with these kind of men purchasing her. So she jumped off the roof and ended up in crow one again and this time she didn't cared if she was pushing people hard, not that she cared in the first place. Sinbad and the ex-assassins were looking from the roof to were she was running, but they soon lost sing of her.

" Damn it, fucking damn it." Crushed a more than furious and frustrated Ja'far. " We nearly caught her. " And he was giving the roof kick's. They had just lost the only person who could possibly help them. How were they going to say it to Hinahoho? But for now they will have to find their blue haired friend and tell him. But for Sinbad the face of this girl was graved in his mind and he will search for her, because for some reasons he wanted to meet her again.

In the mean time Asia was running and trying to go out of the city. She had found the way she took to come and was trying to out before the guards or the men that were looking for Blue caught her. She couldn't let either of them catch her, because either way she would end chained up and that was something she didn't wanted to happen. She saw the forest and began to take a sprint from there. She felt her feet sink in the earth. Since when was there mud? It would leave footprints but right now she didn't cared. She was in front of the hut she was not reassured, she was certain that she had closed the door. Asia didn't wasted one second and ran inside. Nobody was inside, the crib was broken and the cape she gave blue and his headband were lying on the ground. She let her loot fall. The fruits were rolling on the ground and she turned around and exit the hut.

"BLUE! BLUE!" She called his name as loud as she could. Fuck the guards, fuck the animals she had to find blue as fast as possible. She had to bring him to that purple haired man with these beautiful golden eyes, he was looking for Blue. He and the other men with him must have been really worried.

She looked all around her and cried his name once again.

"BLUE!" But she didn't get any answer. And then her eyes went on the ground, there was mud on her way back. So, there is a chance he left traces. And she found some, it were long trail on the ground and big enough for it being Blue. Asia ran as fast as she could following the trails. She didn't wanted what happened ten years ago to happen again, she couldn't let that man feel the pain she once, she still felt to this day. When she had looked in his eyes, he looked so kind and she didn't want him to feel this pain. She didn't cared about her surrounding anymore, even if it was getting trouble by the speed she was using, she was following the trails. And she came into a clearing, there weren't any trees but there was something else. A high and big tower made of black stones. From where Asia was it was imposing, but all her senses were telling her to turn back and run. That this tower was dangerous. But then she saw Blue, he was walking towards the tower. At this rate she won't be fast enough to prevent him to enter the tower, and she was right. She was only five steps away from him when he enter the tower. And now that she was in front of the tower, she felt a big amount of danger amain from it.

Couldn't Blue feel it? She didn't wanted to go in , but Blue was inside. She went against all her senses and enter the tower. She didn't looked around her, but could feel the heat coming from the ground. It wasn't hurting in the least and she found Blue near a red River, that was magma, he was about to touch it when Asia took him and lift him in the air.

" Got you." She let a tired sigh out, she is certain that she never ran that fast before. She hadn't except him to walk this far.

"Sis..sis." He let out happily while he was clapping hands together. Asia brow twitched. He nearly hurt and possibly kill himself just now and he was all happy.

" What the hell was wrong with this brat?" That was the very question she was asking herself.

" I TOLD YOU NOT TO MOVE BLUE. WHAT DON'T YOU UNDERSTAND?" She let her anger out on the less than one year old. She had been worrying about him when she didn't saw him in the hut and she had his family purchasing her on the roofs. On the fucking roofs. He was about to cry and this time Asia won't do anything to prevent him. He got what he deserved. But then the magma began to take a humanoid form. Asia who was still holding Blue was following the monster grown.

" And shit." In what kind of trouble did that little trouble magnet take her in.
