His jacket was carried to each side by the wind. His hands were tucked in each other, behind his frame. His spiky hair refused to be disturbed by the air that breathed profusely.Suke turned to face the feet that brushed through the ground toward him. "Welcome. I was hoping to see you soon.""Why would you want to see us? Is the punishment not for a day?" Kakashi peered at Suke."Yes. It was. I suppose you have not forgotten what I told you?" Suke faced back to watch what he was observing."You told me many things. Which of those words do you want me to remember?" Kakashi folded his hands across his chest."You remember what happened yesterday?" Suke asked with a smile."What… what happened?" Kakashi stuttered. His face grew pale, doing a bad job of feigning his concern."What else happened? It had to be the attack." Jay answered the concerned looks that plastered over Kakashi's face.Suke smirked. He turned back to face them, "More of what happened yesterday will keep on happening. Y
The standing cones and moving scarecrows played around Kakashi. His breath remained stable among the shards of glass and electric currents that buzzed around him. His figure remained a shadow in the vacuum tube that fitted him. His stability in the chaos was a renaissance; his body a silhouette in the caving sides.Kakashi gasped. His shoulders had been tapped."Are you fine?" Tanya asked him with concern showing on her face.Kakashi was present on the training ground, but he was oblivious to everything that was happening. He was far off in his own realm."Yes. I just, I just fell into a deep thought" Kakashi rubbed his palms on his lap.Tanya looked at him thoroughly, a stare that was aimed at uncovering truths without torture."Um, are you good?" Kakashi broke the silence. He was never the best at keeping secrets.He readjusted his uniform using his finger to find space between his neck and his uniform's collar. The collar was not the tightest thing in the world, but the look Tanya
"Your friends looked pleased to let you go" Suke strolled ahead of Kakashi and Jay."What do you mean? Are we not here for the training?"The night was cold and the sky was adorned by pretty little lights that shone from thousands of miles."What does it mean to you? I don't think it has more than the same meaning we both think of it." Suke shrugged"Yeah? What is the meaning then?" Kakashi moved closer. He hadn't eaten at the table. The previous event had filled his head with so many thoughts, that he had forgotten about his training."Come on, tell me," he stretched his neck to hold Suke's gaze."Well, they did not look like they wanted your company." Suke shrugged."They just let you go, just like that. They didn't even bother to know why.""Maybe they have respect for authority?" Kakashi raised an eyebrow.Suke scoffed, "Authority. Authority, you say? What authority do I have here? I don't think I know anything."Kakashi's feet were walking but it was not intentional. With each s
The emperor's head felt heavy. His body ached as he tried to get up with the help of his hands against the tree. He groaned in pain, drawing the attention of everyone around."You have to remain at rest, John. Don't get up so fast," Oz walked in zigzag like he was choosing the right cheques to land on, moving toward the emperor."What are we doing here?" The emperor neglected the medical advice, standing tall although not at full length as he struggled to numb the sharp pains he felt."You need to take a seat, my lo-" The emperor's stern gaze was enough reminder to cut him short from using the last words he wanted to use.Kokohashi stepped in, "Sit down.""You." The emperor dragged his feet, a hand over his chest."You are a raider!"The sound of metals clanking echoed in the air. The soldiers were prepared to go into battle. The emperor smiled stretching his arms by his sides to show the dominance surrounding him, "You see, you are not wanted here. You have brought yourself… oh no,
"Hey!" Doctor Haishi bent over as he raced after his breath."What is it?" Kokohashi demanded.Doctor Haishi took an extra second to put his breath under control. His hands lifted him with the help of his lap. He drew a long, deep breath of the beautiful fresh air straight into his head. He enjoyed that."What happened?!" Kokohashi's roar had run out of patience.Doctor Haishi lifted his head to the showing frame of Kokohashi. "What happened to you?" his eyes darted to his neck.To be fair, it was an easy sight to pick.Kokohashi wiped the sneaking blood off. "Nothing," he responded. His tone was hushed.Doctor Haishi would believe anything other than what he had just seen right now, but he made no case of it."Your brother. Your brother is awake.""What? Are you sure?" Kokohashi's eyes lit up with encouragement. He had no idea he had grabbed onto the doctor's shoulders."Yes." Doctor Haishi was brushed to the side by Kokohashi's excited lunge past him.He snickered."Hey! Leave me. L
"Why don't you check for the wizard, mm? He might know a few tricks to pull.""I searched for him. I could not find him. Him and the master, I could not find them.""Mm," the emperor shook his head, showing the ineffectiveness of Doctor Haishi's words."Please!" Doctor Haishi drummed his plea in the emperor's ears.The emperor stopped peeling his banana halfway. He sighed. He looked at the doctor, squinting his eyes."I was asking you something before he came. Maybe when you have a good response, I will consider saving him."Doctor Haishi looked lost."What does he know about my wife and the prime minister!?" The emperor's voice thundered."I don't know. I don't know." Doctor Haishi moanedThe emperor spat out. He watched Doctor Haishi keenly.He was telling the truth."Where is he?"The emperor's tone filled Doctor Haishi's mind with uncertainty.Was he joking? Was he serious?"Where is he?" The emperor repeated calmly. His calm tone failed to hide his irritation."In the carriage."
Kakashi's cough gave away his position, Jay replaced his eyes with his hands as he searched for Kakashi.Kakashi held his throat with one hand stretching the other hand toward the path of Jay."Oh, Kakashi. We have to go. We have to go now."Kakashi nodded, picking himself up with the help of his friend. They dragged their feet toward their room.A blinding light flashed at their faces, stinging their eyes. Jay halted, Kakashi's body resting on his shoulders. "Stop there!"***"They are here," the man called out to other people."Why did you leave them here?"Oh, it's just one person. Jiro."That is the punishment for students who stay out late. They are all expected to be in their rooms by lights out.""Hm," Jiro grunted.He walked toward us."You both know better than to stay out this late, do you not?" Jiro gave us no room to speak for ourselves as he continued almost immediately as he was done with his last words. "You have violated rules meant for your safety. You have been du
Kakashi was not sure what he had in mind as he watched Suke walk to the dueling arena to join the tutors.What did he mean that he liked her? Why did he show so much interest in her weapon?Kakashi shrugged. He didn't know it all, but he also had an interest in the choice of Tanya's weapon. It was easy to catch the eye. Not only was it attractive by its pretty colors, but it was also effective."Hey, man. You left without saying a word. Why are you here?""I'm sorry. You were deeply asleep and I didn't want to wake you up. You should still be asleep, why are you here?""I asked you first. Don't try to do that with me. Are you trying to avoid the question?""By your logic, you just did the same thing." Kakashi shrugged.Jay hit Kakashi's shoulders playfully."Ouch," Kakashi faked a pain. He hung his shoulder down as he took it in his other hand like an uneven scale."Oh sorry, you want mummy?" Jay rolled his fists under his eyes. Kakashi paused his act. His eyes fixed their gaze in
