Chapter 13 - I Still Didn’t Know Your Name Yet…

"Y-you can't be serious right?" Said Arashi with a pleading eye

Ayu just smiles over Arashi little rant

Arashi started to get shivers all over his body through Ayu smiles

"You won't get away with this you know!"

"My friends will find me and you'll be sorry!" Shout Arashi in pride

Ayu turns over toward Arashi with a creepy smile that seems soothing but still creepy

"That's actually good…"

"That way a lot more fools Gatekeeper would be the devil prey and it would become stronger in no time!"

"Isn't that exciting?" Said Ayu with thrilled over her eyes

Arashi just sat silent as he heard what Ayu just said

Deep down in his heart he felt the uneasiness by being taken hostages and will probably be the reason a lot of Gatekeeper being the meal for the devil

Just as Ayu is playfully playing with Arashi mind out of sudden her partner called her out

"Ayu…" said the big muscly guy calling out Ayu

Ayu turned over to look at the guy as he waves his hand calling her

"Excuse me for a bit, I need to attend to something." Said Ayu toward the devastated Arashi

Both of them then leaves the room immediately and leaves Arashi alone with the sleeping devil

"Why do you call me for?" Ask Ayu toward her partner

The big guy just turns over toward his back which is a table. On top of it is Arashi sword which the guy took of from him while he was unconscious

"What's wrong with that old rusty sword?" Said Ayu uninterested

"See the scribble on this sword?"

The big guy pointed his finger toward Arashi sword. Ayu then leaned herself toward the table to look over the sword

Just suddenly she had a look of shocked when she saw the scribbled on the sword

"Isn't this demon language?" Said Ayu

The big guy nodded

"How does a mere Gatekeeper get a hold of demon ancient treasure?" Ask Ayu curious

The big guy just shakes his head indicating that he had no idea

"That isn't all of it…" The big guy suddenly spoken

Ayu made a look of curious toward the big guy as to what he is about to show Ayu

The big guy then slowly reached out his hand to grab the sword but before he could do that the sword reacted violently as it suddenly put on a defensive system that hurts the big guy hand

Ayu is surprised by the sword reaction that she suddenly felt a feeling of excitement just by the mere sight of it

"It's alive…" said Ayu still impress

The big guy nodded

"I had a theory that the guy outside only managed to pull the ancient sword out but I didn't expect it to be awaken too…" Said the big guy holding his injured arm

"That means the only person who could use it…"

"Is him?" Ask Ayu curious

The big guy nodded

"That's amazing…"

"It seems he wasn't just any ordinary guy I expect…" said Ayu thrill

She then turned over toward the door as she wanted to quickly meet and see Arashi again

"Shit…"

"This rope just won't budge…" Said Arashi as he struggles to cuts the magical rope tied to him

In the end he just gave up and let out a heavy sight

"My sword could probably cut this rope though…"

"Unfortunately they took it away while I was unconscious…" Said Arashi under his breath

Arashi then took a deep breath and lay down on his back trying to calm his mind

Just then a thought of Eric came through his mind

"I wonder if that guy is safe?"

"I think right now he might be panicking over me being kidnapped…"

Arashi let out a chuckles

"I just can't seem to help myself from bringing trouble, aren't I?" Said Arashi blaming himself

Just when Arashi is having a thought of himself, He suddenly have a flashback about his past life…

And the girl…

"Arashi!!!"

"Come quick!!!" shouts the girl from afar

She also is waving over toward a small looking boy which appear to be the younger self Arashi

"Wait for me @*&^%" Shout Arashi

For some reason the girls name can't be heard at all…

Even by Arashi

"You're so slow!" Said the girl

"I'm sorry…" Arashi apologize toward the girl

She seems not to be angry at the Arashi just a bit worried

"Never mind that, we should go now!"

The girl quickly took Arashi by arms and pulled him over

"I don't think this is a good idea…."

Arashi had a look of scared not because of the place they are going but over the fact their parent might be looking for them

"Don't worry!"

"I'm here, aren't I?" Said the girl with a smile on her face

Arashi is a bit charm by the girl smile that he couldn't say no to it

"Let's go!"

The both of them then continued walking toward their destination with a smile on their face not knowing about the dangerous they are going to get themselves into

For some reason Arashi memories is a little bit fuzzy afterward. The only things he remembered is at the end of the day they both got into a bad situation

The girl was filled with a lot of injury while Arashi is leaving with just a scratch on his head

Both of their parents were having an argument over them, afterward the girl parent decided to leaves and move onto another city bringing the girl

That was the last day Arashi met her

Until one day…

"Arashi…"

"Arashi!"

"Arashi!!!"

Just as he was deep into his dream, Arashi suddenly were waken up over a familiar voice

He quickly looks around the place then the moment he looks under the vents he spotted Eric has come to rescued him

"Eric!" shout Arashi surprised

"Don't scream you idiot…" Eric scold Arashi in a whispered

Arashi quickly apologize by bowing over and over

"How is your situation?" Ask Eric concern

"As you can see…"

Arashi quickly showed Eric the magical rope that is tying him on this place

"That's the magical rope…"

"I don't have things to cut it…" said Eric uneasy

Arashi starts to look down when he heard Eric said that

But then he remembered something

"Search for my sword…"

Eric then gives Arashi a confused look

"I don't know if it will help, but it's better than nothing…" Said Arashi convincing Eric

Eric stopped for a bit to think it through and then he just scratched his head messing with his hair

"Fine…"

"Where is your sword?" Ask Eric

Arashi stop to think where those demon have taken his sword over but after a second, he stops thinking

"Just find a big looking guy…"

"He might be the one who have my sword…" Said Arashi over to Eric

Eric just put his hand over his face and signal and okay toward Arashi with his finger

He then quickly moves inside the vent to find Arashi sword

(I'm seriously gonna need a raise after this…) Thought Eric to himself

Just after Arashi and Eric exchanges plans, out of sudden Ayu slams the door opened surprising Arashi

The sounds of the slamming door too almost waken up the devil but it just continued to sleep which gives a relief toward Arashi

Arashi then took a deep breath and let it out relieves over the sleeping devil

"Wait did I scare you?"

"Sorry for that!" Said Ayu apologizing in a cute way

(Seriously if you weren't cute, I would have already killed you) Said Arashi toward himself

Just then when Arashi was about to turn his face over too Ayu he found that Ayu had already squat beside him

Their face is so closed to each other that Arashi almost could feel her breath over his face

For some reason Arashi face is a bit red over it

"You are blushing…"

"How cute." Said Ayu playful

Arashi quickly turn his face away in embarrassment

Ayu just chuckled when she saw Arashi reaction

"I still didn't know your name yet…"

Out of sudden Ayu spoken out to Arashi

"Can you tell me your name?" Ayu asks in a polite way

Arashi stops for a bit before telling Ayu his name as he still feels her as his enemies but somehow, he is feeling bad for her

"It's Arashi…"

"Hirota Arashi…"

Arashi stated his name which Ayu felt a bit shocked to hear at first

"Arashi…" Ayu called out to Arashi name

"That's a nice name…" said the girl with a distant smile

Feeling weird for some reason Arashi felt a feeling of loneliness inside Ayu as he stared at her for quite awhile

Just as he feel like she wasn't looking both of them found themselves looking into each other eyes

And for some reason it gives a familiar feeling inside them that they been longing before

The feeling that could might be the answer to their loneliness

What is this feeling…

But neither of them could get an answer about it…

Nor understand what are they feeling right now…
