I really never cared

Chapter 10

Rushed footsteps resounded through the golden corridors of Fei-Fuego. A small group of sixteen children consisting of ten males and six females huffed and puffed as they hurried along, one destination in mind shared amongst each other.

"SENSEI!" Their voices echoed as the doors flew open with a loud bang and quickly following up was a soft thud-like sound.

Naruto spun around, golden locks fluttering in a non-existent wind as his eyes fell upon the forms of his students.

"Wha..." before he could speak, he was cut off by a red-haired boy upfront.

Rising up to his knee, the oldest student brought his eyes up to that of his teacher and said "Teacher, Kinoe and Masu are missing."

"Missing?" he asked, giving them all his unwavering attention. "Are they missing or are they playing runaway?" his leveled gaze took in all their body language, the quiver of the hands, the bitting of the lips, and then he finally asked, "Or Taku, have my students been kidnaped?"

Shina heavily flinched as she fell in at her teacher's feet, quivering and sniffing heavily as she begged for forgiveness.

His beautiful eyes fell upon her, devoid of pity and anger yet it held onto no sympathy and warmth as he eyed her, "Speak Shina, What happened to your youngest siblings?" 

She sniffed as she stammered through her words "I-I took, Sensei I wa-was the one - the one who took them to the mortal realm of Prem-sama, we were ambushed by the Ghost King, he took them away."

"How dear you touch my students Tadao?' he seethed in his mind as warmth flooded back into his eyes as he gazed over his students, "Take care of Shina and under no circumstance is anyone to leave Fei-Fuego. Taku, you are to inform Fuka of my decision.

"Where are you going Sensei?" the oldest female student stood and asked while her maroon hair bobbed on her shoulders.

"I'm going to have a political discussion." he declared as he stepped out of the room.

'You insult me Tadao by taking my students, stepping on my authority as you like. it is one thing for the gods to insult me, but it is unignorable when nobodies like you decide they are big enough to test my anger. This time, there is no feigning ignorance, it's going to be carnage.'  he gathered such thoughts as he disappeared in a weave of vines.

"TADAO!"

The Ghost king flinched for the seventh time as the blasted god of music thundered his name once again, he never signed up for this, "The god of music is supposed to be weak! How is this happening?!" Tadao screamed, pulling his hair as he paced in front of the throne.

"Calm down Tadao-Sama." His wife grabbed his hands, in a fit of rage, he threw her to the ground. "Shilu-Sama!" Her maids shirked in surprise.

"Leave me Woman, don't you understand the situation." He bellowed.

"Of course I do Tadao-Sama, but you have to understand that there is no reason to fret, the god of music must be playing tricks on us while he sneaks about trying to save his disciples. he must be used to this type of treatment in heaven so he picked up illustrious tricks to save his skin." She declared quite certain in a moment of diplomacy.

The Ghost king thought about what his wife said, he began to calm down finding some truth in the words when the doors to the throne room were thrown open. four men fell at the king's feet. 

"Report from the North my Lord..." he was cut off by another "TADAO!" this time the four reporters flinched the hardest.

Before the first could start his drama again, the one from the east stood, looked the king in the eyes, and spilled his words, "From the east to the west, south to the north my lord we have been cocooned  in the ghost wilderness, golden vines are killing everyone my lord, from child to beast, he is killing us relentlessly."
