Chereads / Under the cherry blossom tree / Chapter 13 - The Kidnapping.

Chapter 13 - The Kidnapping.

Several days passed but there was no sign of the enemy attacking. Ae Rin thought it was in their best interest to get started with their plan as soon as possible.

Kyou prepared himself mentally and went to a park called Blue Sky Park with Ae Rin's clone. It was an abandoned park, far away from their town but it had it's charms. There were cherry blossom trees all over the park since it was spring season.

Ae Rin's clone ability enables her to contact and watch others through the clone as well as control it which makes it more human-like.

Kyou and the clone reached the park at 10:00 pm in the night. It was pitch black out there, with only the moon illuminating light and nobody was around; not even a single bird. The area was very chilly and quiet.

They cautiously entered the park, continuously looking out for any attackers.

They decided to walk around the park for sometime.

15 minutes...30 minutes....40 minutes...still no sign of them.

"Do we keep walking like this? I don't think so they are gonna come after us anytime soon.." Kyou sighed hopelessly.

All of a sudden, Ae Rin stopped in her tracks and places a finger on her lips, "Shh... Someone's coming. Be prepared!"

Kyou gasped and braced himself for the impact when he heard the footsteps getting closer and closer each second.

"FOUND YOU!!!" A tall and masculine man wearing a black hood charged at Ae Rin from the bushes next to her with an axe and a maniacal smile plastered on his face.

He reached out to grab her by the hair, but as soon as he did it, the body disappeared into thin air.

"That lousy little...!!" His eyes were wide in shock and anger as he realised that he was tricked.

Now it was all upto Kyou. He knew what to do.

"AAAAHH!!" He purposefully let out a scream to catch the man's attention.

When the man noticed him, Kyou pretended to run away but in fact, he was running slower than ever so that the man would catch up to him.

"You're not going anywhere!!" As expected, the man charged at him and caught him by the hand.

"P-please, leave me! I won't say anyone about what I saw! Just let me go!" He pretended to be miserable.

"Oh? Aren't you the one who's always around that demon girl? Maybe we will have some use of you. You're coming with me!" The man said as he knocked him down, grabbed and tossed him over his shoulder and went into a black car parked at the side.

The man tied him with a rope and taped his mouth while he was unconscious.
