The girl and the endless time

chapter 5

It was evening already and they then walked towards the barrier as Saito and Ren got inside. A bright light then surrounds them. They then opened their eyes and saw someone standing there. “Not you again, why are you here?” said Saito. (It's almost as if he planned this) as Saito then looked at him standing by the entrance looking at them. Well, of course, I live here, why else would I be here? as he let out a small laugh. (She seems to have seen through my plans of her coming here) He then approached her. He then grabbed my hand gently and kissed it, I turned red from him kissing my hand out of nowhere. Why is your face so red he said in a calming voice. “It's not red you just imagined that it is,'' said Saito as she pouted. She then took a deep breath and got closer to Ren as she spoke into her ear. “I suppose you can say he possesses charisma as I lowered my voice to tell Ren. “Yeah, I could say without a doubt, I never met anyone like him,'' said Ren. I then cleared my voice, why did you kiss my hand? As she stepped back a little. I did that because it was trying to show you I mean no harm as he had a gentle expression towards them. “Since you explained that to me, I forgive you but you still haven't told me who you are yet?” said Saito as she cleared her throat. “My apologies, let me introduce myself, my name is Kurogane, I am a werewolf mix with a wizard and vampire and my specialty is curing curses. I will also introduce myself, I am Saito, I'm a half-vampire mix with rabbit and human/mermaid. Nice to meet you, Saito. Nice to meet you Kurogane as they shake hands with each other. Hello, my name is Ren, nice to meet you Kurogane,” said Ren as she waved to him. You to Ren as he smiles back at her. “This is a nice place to relax and not be bothered by troublesome hunters, you don't need to worry about them, it's safe here,'' said Kurogane. “Is this what you meant before that, we would come here?” said Saito. “There's lots to talk about, I expected you to come, that is why I came to visit you, It seems you already ran into them as I predicted,” said Kurogane. They were so troublesome, as Saito sighs to Kurogane. "Yeah and I can tell it was difficult, they were cunning though, they also knew too much," said Kurogane. Me and Ren were annoyed by those dumb hunters they were a pain in the neck but we manage to kill them all except for the leader he was tricky” said Saito “Yes I heard the leader was crafty but who knew it was to that extent” said Kurogane. (Xue that bastard a long time ago we met while I was on my journey we were best friends we help each other but in the end you betray me and then you got rid of your good side to turn evil and become a hunter and kill every supernatural for their bounty and glory if we ever face each other again I will kill you, Xue). “What's wrong, Kurogane? You were deep in thought for a while” said Saito. “It's nothing for you to be concerned and worried about, I was just thinking of something, don't mind me at all. But now that we are done with the introduction. “What are you two going to do now, since you're here?" said Kurogane. “We are not sure yet”, said Saito. "Why don't you two stay here to think of it and what to do next," said Kurogane. "What do you think, Ren? should we stay here," said Saito. "Yes we should stay here and think of what to do next, there is still danger out there the hunter leader might look for us,” said Ren. (I want to protect my master as she protects me and to be happy and not sad, I can feel that she is sad even if she is calm and collected on the outside but inside her heart is something lingering around her heart). “Ren what's wrong as I shake her, are you feeling sick let me check as light pulsed from my hands and shined on Ren. Your heart is okay and your eyes are in good health and everything else is fine as she sighs in relief. “I’m good, I wasn't sick, I'm perfectly fine,'' said Ren. “That's good and it settled Kurogane, we will stay here for time being said", Saito. "I will show you around here just follow me and everyone here is either a hybrid and pure supernatural, humans are not allowed to enter. As they walk around, but since you are half-human and it's okay since you're a hybrid, but we're against humans and hunters and dark supernatural beings, said Kurogane. (In the past, after the millions of years after the war hunter’s started raising and killing supernatural beings whether they were good or bad, most parish by the hands of hunters we vowed to protect our own kind from them). “Kurogane, you went quiet again,” said Saito. “If you're not feeling well you can always give us the tour later,” said Ren. “I was just remembering what I heard from my parents a long time ago and let me show you around, don't be so concerned about it,” said Kurogane. Okay then as Saito and Ren looked at each other. “Here is where we can compete with one another to get stronger and to boost our skills you can win prizes like amulets that enter anyone's mind. The actual spell belongs to dark shadow users; only they can cast that spell without damaging themselves. There is a powerful curse on that spell but someone found a way so that we can use it. This is basically our method of the spell in the form of an amulet and there are power crystals 8 of them and they also give you special wands that grant you the ability you want to use in different weathers and there are 8 kinds as well. They all then looked at the stadium. There are many things here but there are many more, then what you see there are magic antique shops and potion shops, they're even restaurants and a carnival there are even more places to explore, said Kurogane. Is there anywhere you want to go, said Kurogane. “I want to go to a lake,'' said Saito as she looked around. “Alright let's go there then,” said Kurogane as he closed his eyes. “When you think of the place, you really want to go, you will appear there fast but it only works here,” said Kurogane. They all closed their eyes and concentrated and once they opened their eyes they were at the lake. "It feels so nice and relaxing and the sun feels nice but I thought it was evening before we went in here?” said Saito. “Since there is a barrier in this area, the time outside is different from here but humans still find this place even though this hidden realm is separate from their world,'' said Kurogane. “So that's why it's sunny here, I already know about the times that flows in the hidden realm but it's my first time seeing it since I did not need to leave to get anything, I usually find what I need and make it but I'm gonna go for a swim,'' said Saito. “Have fun then,'' said Kurogane. She then jumped in the water. "It's so pure as she swims backward,” said Saito. “Your tail is still as pretty as ever," said Ren. “Thanks, Ren and why don't you come in? It's really nice,” said Saito. Here's a water pill as I handed it to Ren. I'm okay, you should enjoy it (Ren is afraid of the water; she never had a problem before, I will have to ask her later about it). “Look over there I see other mermaids in the water,” said Ren. “Oh those two girls, there are mermaid/shapeshifters,'' said Kurogane. They both swam closer to where they were at. “Hey is that you Kurogane? How long has it been like a million years or so since we last met?” said the mermaids. Yes it's me and we last saw each other when we were kids?'' said Kurogane. “It's really been that long, Kurogane?” said the mermaids. “How are you two doing this afternoon,'' said Kurogane. It’s great as they both smiled at him. "Hey Kurogane's friend, let's race," said the mermaids. “Saito, those two are really competitive at winning,” said Kurogane. “I'm also competitive, I won't lose that easily,” said Saito as she took a deep breath. Sure thing I won't lose you two, Ren and Kurogane cheer for me,” said Saito. They both nodded at her. Kurogane clears his throat and counts down 1, 2, 3 go. Come here Ren and he showed her how the race was going. They swam so fast it was hard to see them on Kurogane's staff plus they were determined to win to even stop swimming for a moment. “Who's in the lead?'' said Ren as she looked at his staff. “They're coming back”, said Kurogane. “Who's winning do you see?” said Ren. “I think it's Saito,'' said Kurogane. As he zooms in on the video it seems they almost caught up to Saito as he looks closely at the staff. Saito then swims even faster than them. I win as I swim up to the surface. “That was a good race, you two,” said Saito. “It was a good race, we should race another time,” said the mermaids. “You two, they're new here, this is Saito and her familiar Ren,” said Kurogane. Nice to meet you, two and Kurogane, is she your girlfriend?'' said the mermaids. “You two it isn't like that, she's not, don't say that,” said Kurogane. “Why would you two say that we only met twice?” said Saito as she started blushing. If you say so, let me introduce myself, my name is Kyuki and my name is Miyuki. We're twins, we make ourselves look different from each other to fool others so they won't know we're twins. Then they change back to their original mermaid look. “You two do look alike but the difference is your tail color, hair, and marking,” said Saito. “Yep, that's what makes us look different,'' said Kyuki. “But don't let that fool you were masters of disguise but I and Kyuki have an interesting story to tell you, even if he doesn't like it?” said Miyuki. “That's my privacy and it was a secret, you two,'' said Kurogane as he was sobbing quietly. They're just silly, they don't even know what they're talking about?'' said Kurogane. Hey don't call us silly but we know they will enjoy hearing the story. “We are gonna tell her the story of that time,'' said Kyuki. Saito was so confused about what they were talking about. “I will tell the story, Saito and Ren,'' said Miyuki and Kiyuki. “We have a story about when he was little, we were all young and Kurogane barely moved here. He was only 4 years old and he said these plants have a nice scent. “They must taste good,'' said young Kurogane. “Hey, kid, don't eat those,” said Kiyuki and Miyuki. “Why can't I eat them?” said young Kurogane. If you want to you can, we won't stop you but just now it won't end well and we warned him. But in the end, I guess he didn't want to listen to us so he ate it not realizing it can do something to his face which made his pucker for a whole week he ate a special plant meant for potions that witches use to fight off humans. He came back the next day and asked us what it was and when we told him what it was he fainted and he then got up and said why isn't it healing. “Well witches use these plants for potions and spells, anyone who eats it will have their face looking like that for a while, supernatural or not,” said Kiyuki. “You're just going to have to wait until it's completely gone, what is your name?” said Miyuki. My name is Kurogane and who are you two? My name is Kiyuki and my name is Miyuki. We then enjoyed the whole day playing and after we played with each other, having fun when he left to go back home and his face got worse, boy did he have the funniest face when it happened. We also heard he didn't want to eat until it healed, do you want to know what his face looked like? Yes, as they nodded. No, don't do that as he tries to stop them. They then cast a spell to make him stand still. They all got out of the water and sat down in front of the lake Kyuki and Miyuki, then reached into their magic space bags to look for the picture. We have two different kinds; they handed it to Saito and Ren. That's so funny and aw look at Kurogane as a young boy as she showed Ren the picture. He then blushes from the embarrassment. “You can have it, Saito, we must get going now,'' said Kiyuki. They Then snap their fingers to remove their spell from Kurogane. How on earth did you get that picture as he yells at them as they swim off. “We have ways and had fun, you two,” said Kyuki and Miyuki. As they swam off really far before they got scolded by Kurogane. They were blushing at each other and then they looked away. Saito then went out of the water and dried off her tail and turned back to normal.
