Kenchi awoke in a dark small room with one window.
~Kenchi~
(Where the hell am I, and why does my hands feel heavy)?
Kenchi looked down and saw a gold gauntlets.
~Kenchi~
Where did these come from...
Snores echoed through the room. Kenchi turned to the origin of the snoring. His eyes were set upon Maki. She was sitting in the corner of the room this entire time.
~Kenchi~
I didn't notice her till now. I should go before she awakes up.
Kenchi forced his half healed body toward the window. As he opened it, he was going climb down to the ground but he was stop by a hand firmly gripping his shoulder.
~Kenchi~
(Shit!)
Kenchi had a nervous smile on his face as he turned.
~Maki~
Where do you think you're going?
~Kenchi~
Uh, no where.
~Maki~
You're not going anywhere till I get the Amulet, so have a seat...
Kenchi and Making sat in the room staring at each other.
~Kenchi~
Am, could you explain what to my hands?
~Maki~
Your body merged with the amulet. Then again, it can't really be called an item, because it's alive. It's known as the Astral Core. Every soul eventually finds their way back to it.
