It's about 8 o'clock in the morning and we've been walking for 3 hours since we want to make up ground and get this stupid game over with. We also have to find food since I kinda ate it all when on watch last night.
"Meh!" I pull down my lower eyelid in Aito's direction since he's frowning at me.
"Why you-" Aito hisses quietly and steps forward.
"Nope" Ren grabs Aito by the waist and pulls him away. (I taught him that since I have to tackle many children in Mura castle)
"Stop messing around and look for something to eat" Daniel scolds Aito.
"There's a bear" Quasar points in between the trees.
I whip my head around at bear. I look through the trees and see brown fur. "Yass" I whisper/yell. "Stay here." I tell the others and start to creep towards it. I take out the pocket knife which I stashed in my back pocket. I lower myself closer to the ground so that the bear doesn't notice me. I'm a few meters away from it when it turns around. It notices me and tenses. I slowly stand up and get ready to take action. 'Here we go' I excitedly say inwardly.
I shift my foot forward in which the bear starts to run at me. I take off while smiling. I run towards a huge tree and when I'm a few feet away I jump and run up the tree. I push off, doing a clean backflip and hold the pocket knife with both hands. I land on the bears' back and stab the bear. It reacts viciously for a few seconds before becoming weak and falling.
I jump off the brown bear which seems to be only a teenager. Meh. Foods food.
"Great job" Daniel pats my back and looks at the brown bear.
"Of course. I'm always great" I flaunt passing him the pocket knife.
"Fine" Daniel whines taking the knife and skins the bear.
"What are you doing?" Aito asks stunned.
"Eating it" I respond with a sweet smile.
"But aren't they protected?"
"Who knows? I'll just get Daniel to pay for the losses."
"But still they're bears!"
"Stop acting like a spoilt rich brat Aito." I tell him walking away to wask my pocket knife. "A butterfly knife would be better." I mutter.
[Well it's a glad thing that you have one in your shoe] Astrid says.
'It is. It is indeed' I say back.
I pull out my cooking equipment from my diamond black ring. "Table, pots, knifes, seasoning, sauces. Well I think that's all" I scratch the back of my head to see if I forgot anything. Nope I haven't.
"You-!" Aito exclaims pointing at the table.
"Me what?"
"You have a black diamond spatial ring!" Aito exclaims looking at my ring. "I heard that they're extremely rare that even the royal family can't get them."
"What royal family?" I ask acting ignorant.
"The royal family of Renata another dimension."
"And how would you know about this other dimension?"
"Because my mother is from Renata." Aito answers.
"Who's your mother?" I ask.
"Kakichimo."
"The water goddess Kakichimo?"
"Yes."
"And who's your father?" I ask getting suspicious of his identity once again.
"Taichi Abe."
"What?" Daniel and I shout.
"My father is Taichi Abe." Aito repeats.
"You-" Daniel and I look at each other.
"Why what's wrong?" Ren asks not getting whe we're so worked up.
"Taichi Abe was a glitch that died 17 years ago." I whisper to him.
"And so?" Ren asks.
"My family killed him" I say.
"What!?" Ren steps back.
"Ah shut up. I wasn't even born then."
"Okay" Ren chuckles seeing that I don't want anything that Aito will hate me for.
"You know, you have really changed since we first met, Ren Yamashita or should I say Kitamura? Well Yamashita-Kitamura would be better since you have both names."
"If you had to be called your father surname what would it be?" Ren asks.
"Huh?" I'm stunned. I did not suspect anyone to ask me this question. "It would be Adira Lobo."
"What surname is that?"
"It's a surname found in galician, spainish and portuguese which means wolf."
"Since they're wolves?" Ren asks.
"Yup and have been since the beginning but lately there has been more hybrids." I reply.
"What are you two whispering about?" Quasar asks raising an eyebrow in suspcion. "Are you perhaps having a secret affair?" He asks curiously.
"No" Ren and I say without any hesitation.
"Okay well have some food." Quasar says.
Only then does Ren and I notice that our stoamchs are rumbling. We go and have some of the bear meat.
"What were you talking about?" Quantum asks.
"I liked it better when you only spoke a few words" I point my fork at him.
"Well they're both as chatty as the other" Daniel says.
"We were talking about surnames" I answer Quantums' question.
"Why?"
"I don't know" I shrug my shoulders. "I just wanted to find out what is Ren going to be called, Yamashita or Kitamura."
"He could always have both" Quantum suggests.
"That's what I said" Quantum and I high five out of similar thinking.
"Ahhh!" A scream echoes throughout the forest.
"What the f*ck?" I say throwing my fork down in annoyance. "Which b*stard dares disturb my eating?" I stand up and put everything into my ring before walking in the direction of the voice.
"Yo wait up!" Ren shouts following me with my plate of food in one hand and his paintball gun in the other.
"Good thinking" I praise him and take my plate of food. "Let's go."
We walk for a few minutes since the boy who screamed had serious pipes but we manage to find an odd scene. A lanky boy is crawling away from a small red squirrel who looks at him with curiousity.
"Are you a Shonaru student?" I ask noticing his clothes.
"Y-yes" The boy answers. His voice stutters in fear. He crawls in our direction and hides from the squirrel.
"Did he scare you?" I ask.
"Yes I'm terrified of squirrels."
I bend over and pat the red squirrel.
"..." Toshio Ikeda is speechless.
"Do I shoot him?" Ren asks.
"Not yet" I tell him. "What happened to the rest of your school mates?"
"I went to go toilet at night and when I came back they were all dead" Toshio Ikeda says.
"How did they die?"
"They were all shot and hung from the trees."
"You can join us since it's dangerous to be in the forest at night but I'm taking you gun and pocket knife" I grab the things and throw them into the stream nearby and grind the paintballs into a tree completely wasting them. "There let's go."
We go back to our small camp with the newly added member.
