3 months later. It was a hot day and Umi and Hemac were swimming in a lake while Buka was checking is pack-back "Food...check,Water...check,Clothes...Check," He continued though the list . "Come on Buka!" yelled Umi from the water and slashing Hemac "Your missing the fun."
"I'll be in there in a minute." He replied back. Umi looked at Hemac "why did sensei ask us to meet him here?" she asked , Hemac shrug "Mission,probably." He then swam back to the edge of the lake and climb out leaving Umi in the water , "Come on Buka!" she yelled again , she waited in the water for a bit longer and then she climbed out and walked over to Buka "Why are you taking so long?" she mumbled. Buka looked at her and then went back to packing. She sighed and went into the changing room ,just as she went in Hemac came out fully dressed. Seconds later Umi came out "When is sensei?" she asked as she tided her headband around her neck. "I'm not sure but his probably a big mission if he taking ages." Buka excitedly said.
"Don't get your hopes up." Sighed Hemac. "It's sound lame, like the others
"I agree with Buka, sensei never takes this long." Umi agreed. "Maybe It's a B rank mission, Or a A Rank!" She squealed. As they waited for about half an hour , Hotomo finally came with a huge grin on his face, "What's up with you?"Hemac said as he step back
"I've got you a special mission" Hotomo grinned , Umi and Buka eyes glowed. "Is it a big mission!" Buka jumped up and down with joy "It's an B rank" Hotomo smiled "An B rank!" the group shouted "Are we going to save a princess!" Umi squealed
"Nope." Hotomo said still smiling
"Are we going to fight a bad guy, and send he crying back to his to his village."
"Nope."
"er...beat up someone?"
"Maybe."
"It must be boring then..." Hemac yawned , Buka frowned "What is this big mission then?".Hotomo smiled "Were going to escort a boy back to his village." Buka and Umi's face drops "Told you it was going to be boring." Hemac sniggered "But, this boy is no ordinary boy he is the prince of the Strom village." Hotomo continued , Buka and Umi's face lifted a bit "At least he royal." Buka smiled "and if he royal there must be danger!" Umi and Buka started to squeal again. "Ok, then meet your mission." Hotomo step aside and a young boy with pale skin and royal clothes on was waiting behind Hotomo
"Wow..he hot" Umi blushes, Buka growled and pushed his elbow into Umi's rips "Ow, what was that for!" She shouted.
"Nothing." Frowned Buka . The boy laughed , Umi walked over to him, and put her hand out "Hello , I'm Umi ." The boy took her hand "I'm Yusha Koitowa." He gently kissed Umi's hand, She blushed , Buka stormed over and growled "I'm Buka, and who the hell are you?" Umi whacked Buka over the head,she glared at Buka and frowned "Be nice to your royals Buka." Yusha laughed
and Umi laughed with him , Then Hemac walked over and lifted a quick smile "Hello...I'm Hemac"
Yusha smiled and put his hand out "I'm Yusha." Hemac looked at his hand and looked back up at Yusha "I don't do hand shakes, there a symbol of trust, and I don't trust you yet." Yusha lowed his hand , "Sorry." Hemac then walked off "Is he always like this?" Yusha asked "Yes...we think he as a emotion problem, Just before he was smiling and playing in the lake, and then he all miserable." Yusha Laughed , Buka looked at Yusha and glared "I see you all got to know each other." Smiled Hotomo, He walked off and then appeared with 4 horses "We all have a horse each, To ride on."
Umi and Buka both ran to a horse Umi had a black horse, Buka Had a dark brown horse, Hemac had a light brown horse, Hotomo had a Whit horse with dark brown spots, and , They all jumped on and Yusha Jumped onto Hemac's Horse and the grouped walk off, "I've haven't ridden a horse Before" Buka said anxiously. "It's mostly because you kept falling asleep in lessons." Hemac laughed
"I was tried." Buka innocently smiled , Hemac and Umi laughed.
As they travelled toward the storm village 3 suns and 3 moons went by and the 4 sun rose , Buka and Umi were asleep on the horses with ropes attach to Hotomo Horse "They must be tried." Hemac yawned
"You look tried,Do you want a rest?" Hotomo asked
"I'm ok, I don't need to rest." Yusha fell asleep on Hemac's back , and Hotomo and Hemac carried on. 3 hours pasted and they finally arrived at the storm village "Buka, Umi were here." Hotomo shouted to wake them up, But he shouted to loud and Buka jumped and fell off his horse, Umi woke up and yawn. She looked at Buka and laughed "Are we down in the dumps?" Buka looked at Umi and frowned "Oh ha ha ha." He got up and brushed the mud off and got back onto his horse. They headed towards to the village "We haven't been attack yet." Buka sighed
"Do you want to be attacked?" Hemac asked .
"If it involves fighting , then yes." The grouped stopped at the gates and let the prince get off "Thank you very much." Yusha smiled
"No problem." Hotomo smiled. The group turned around the prince waved "Oh, I forgotten something!" The Yusha ran back over and gave Buka a necklace "What's this?" Buka Asked "It's a storm necklace, It can tell you, when a storm is coming." Smiled Yusha
"Oh...Thanks, I guess" Buka slightly smiled. The group walked away from the village as Yusha waved and then entered the gates.
"I'm still tried..." Buka yawned.
"There's a hotel we can sleep in." said Hotomo, Buka woke up a little and carried on.
As they arrived at the Hotel a huge rain cloud appeared over the hotel "I don't like this place..." Umi shivered
"It looks ok to me." Hemac grinned. The storm necklace Yusha gave Buka started to change colour. Buka looked at it "I'm guessing that means a storms coming" Sighed Buka ,
"I hate storms." Umi moaned
" The hotel will have to do." Sighed Hotomo, They tried their horses to a tree outside and walked inside "Wait here" Commanded Hotomo , he walked walked to the reception. "I really don't like this place, it's to cold and creepy." Shivered Umi. She looked around
"At least there's somewhere to sleep." Yawned Buka. Hotomo walked backed "Were on the 5th floor." Hotomo sighed
"How many floors is there?" Hemac asked
"7 floors, I think." He thought to himself."Come lets go." he lead the group up 5 sets of stairs and into their room. "Right, 508" Hotomo said to himself as he opened the door. The door made a horrible noise it echo though Hotomo's mind. The group walked in. "It's better than I thought." Umi Smiled, They room had a golden theme, The beds were made from silk and sea shells craved into the woods ,the bathrooms had marble around the sinks , The floor was made from wood also.
"It's beautiful!" Squealed Umi , she ran into the room and laid on the bed , Buka joined her as he also laid on his bed. "This is way better than I thought." Smiled Buka. Hotomo laughed "I'm glad you like it." Umi and Buka rolled on there beds laughing , Hemac walked in and sat on his bed and glared "Hey, what's with you face." Buka laughed . Hemac glared more before facing the other way and falling sleep , "I'm going to sleep as well,I'm so tried." Yawned Buka and he to went to bed. Umi smiled "Ok." She looked at Hotomo who was in his bed and she smiled. "Life doesn't get better than this." she said to her self and she too closed her eyes and enter the dream land.
As minutes went buy, and minutes turned to hours, The group stayed fasts asleep, sounds of footsteps walked past the beds and out the door as it creak open but it didn't wake anyone up. As more minutes went by , suddenly , a huge explosion went off 2 floors down that woke up the group
"What was that!" Umi shouted with fright. Hotomo ran out the room and then ran back in. "The hotel is on fire!" he shouted. Umi and Buka looked at each other and then went to look at Hemac to see he had gone "Where's Hemac!" Hotomo Shouted
"I don't know!" Buka shouted back. "Wait here,I'll get help from the ground floor" Hotomo commanded Umi and Buka " But the floor block!" Umi cried. The Hotel shook. "I won't be long." Hotomo smiled and he ran back out he jumped out the window and walked down the side of the building,Umi and Buka looked at each other , The Hotel shook again. Umi screamed , Buka ran out and checked , he ran back out "The fire spreading, We have to go up!" he grabbed Umi's hand and ran out the room. The fire was on the same floor as them, getting closer and closer. Buka ran up the stairs keeping tight hold of Umi's hand. He went up the other stairs and then the next ones. To see he was in the attic,The building shook again. "Buka!" Umi screamed. Buka hugged Umi and tries to keep her calm "It's ok, we'll be fine." He smiled, She smiled back. Then a huge explosion came from the floor below them and the attic caught fire and huge plank of wood blocked Umi and Buka from exiting. "What do we do!" Umi screamed, Buka looked at Umi with a tear running down his cheek "Umi..." Buka looked at her sad
"What..."
"Do you promise." he stopped
"Promise what?" Umi asked
"Do you promise you'll never forget me." More tears ran down his cheeks , Umi froze "What do you mean?" Tears ran downs Umi's cheeks. "For god sake Umi, I love you!" He grabbed onto Umi and kissed her. He pushed her away and lifted her up and put her into his arms. "What are you doing!" Umi screamed. "We'll be best friends forever." Buka put a necklace around Umi's neck saying best friend. "Goodbye Umi." Buka cried. Umi looked at Buka "Your not going anywhere!" She screamed. Buka kicked open the window, Umi looked at the window and then back at Buka "No...no...no...no." She begged "Buka I want stay with you!"
"I do too,But I don't want to you to get hurt." He kissed her on the cheek and walked towards the window "No,no,no,no,no!" Umi screamed begging. .Buka cried ,he lets go of Umi and threw her out the window "BUKA!" she scream as she took her last glimpse of Buka's face. She fell on to soft gazebo, and bounce of it,The Building shook. Umi grabbed tight hold of the grass . Floor by floor the building collapse, a huge cloud of dust covered Umi and survives. As it disappeared , the was a horrible groan from the crowd , the dust cleared and the building wasn't standing up,it was in the floor in rubble "Buka!" Umi screamed again , she ran over to the rubble and started to dig though it, tear ran down her cheeks one by one. Someone from the crowd pulled Umi away from the rubble. "I'm sorry, but the person your properly looking for is dead." The person told Umi. Umi fell on the floor and started to cry, as it started to rain. She looked up and looked around "Where's Hotomo sensei?"she asked, Hemac walked over "He went back in, I think he dead." Hemac sighed . Umi looked at Hemac and then stood up. "I'm going home." Mumbled Umi
"It's going to take you 3 days on foot." Hemac mentioned
"I'm not going to walk." She did hands signs "Light angel justu." Her black wings hung from her back. She jumped up and flew away into the grey dull sky, As the memories of Buka echoed in her head.
