Chapter 5: Some Things are Better Left Untold
"Damn, I could have grabbed the guy while I had the chance!" Dark cursed as the two travelers walked on the city path.
"Dark, instead of cursing yourself to oblivion why don't you calm down and try to put it behind for now, you can try and catch him, or her, again later."
"Fine, let's head into the city for some food and maybe some art, if they have any…" Dark grinned when he said this.
"Now that's sounds like the Dark I know," Kimi said in a cheerful voice as they turned around the path corner. "Now, speaking of food I have some money." She showed Dark her little velvet blue bag.
"What, you call that little?" Dark was heard throughout the forest.
As Dark wandered around the market place in search of food, water, and good art hints he stopped and thought of his past. His origin, his name, the battle with Krad…He stopped in front of an alleyway and looked in it. There sat a pretty girl and five tough looking men who had already started sending a barrage of pain towards the girl. Dark, seeing that the girl was in need of help placed the food he was carrying in a safe spot and tackled the first man he saw.
"Hey, this puny runt's trying to fight us!"
"Let's beat the crap out of him!" another said
"Okay then, try and fight me!" Dark said.
"Fine then, die!" In an instant Dark ducked under and elbowed the charging man. He toppled like a card tower making his buddies even angrier; now they charged full-force and Dark, but soon they retreated with bruises and some blood on them. The girl now stood up and walked over to Dark and placed a hand on his own.
"Thank you, mister, you are my savior, I shall never forget this moment."
"Um, you're welcome?" He hesitated staring at the girl who somehow reminded him of…Kimi, and Kimi reminded Dark of…
"Sir, are you alright? Did you receive a blow from those men?"
"Yeah, I'm okay, I was just thinking of some things." At that moment Dark's stomach growled in anticipation of food. He looked at the money that Kimi had given him and then spoke in a whisper. "Damn, I don't have enough money for food in a restaurant, and I can't eat the food we have here because I need to save it…" The girl, who mysteriously heard Dark, answered as Dark's miracle.
"Mister, I have enough money to give you a decent meal in the finest restaurant in this city, it's the least I can do for saving me." Dark grabbed the food he bought and followed the girl out of the alley, wondering if he really could trust the girl.

Kimi, who had now finished her shopping, was looking for Dark in the city plaza, the place they said they would meet each other. She sighed as she remembered their last adventure where Dark was controlled by Kamayu. She remembered the girl peering into her thoughts, opening her mind to the outside world, revealing her secrets… Kimi shook her head to chase away this thought and started to walk around. The same men who had bothered Dark and the girl swiftly appeared out of nowhere and knocked Kimi down. Three of them laughed as Kimi knelt down to collect her things but kept on running for fear that Dark was still after them. A boy about Dark's age appeared and started to help gather the items on the ground before they got smashed by anybody's foot. After both of them were done Kimi stood up and looked at the boy's clear blue eyes.
"Thank you," Kimi said.
"You're welcome." He was about to turn when suddenly he asked, "Hey, what's your name?"
"Kimi, why?" The girl asked in wonder.
"I just wanted to know, if um, you would like to spend some time together." He noticed the inquiring eyes of Kimi and answered. "I just wanted to have a friendly talk that's all!" He then leaned towards Kimi's ear and whispered his name and the time and place they were supposed to meet, after that he sped off into the distance.
"Sukimaru…"
