A Promise [Akatsuki No Yona Fan-Fic] (ON HOLD!!!)

Chapter 12: Our New Group

        Yona, Hak, Yun, Kija, Shin-Ah, Ao, and Mee-Yon all traveled together and left the village of Seiryuu which is Shin-Ah's village. On their way now, is a big journey ahead of them. Right now, they were about to walk near to a forest.   

Yun: Kija. Do you know where the next dragon is? 

Kija: (looks ill?) That's... right... The next... of the four... dra...gons.... (collapsed on the ground)

Yona: Kija? Kija?! 

        The gang decided to rest for while especially Kija, who looked like he was beaten. All of them gathered around. Mee-Yon use a white cloth in her bag to wipe Kija's sweats away. Shin-Ah sits beside her, but not too close while Ao plays with her hair. 

Mee-Yon: It... must be fatigue. What happen to him anyway? O.O

Yun: Well... it's because he was digging with all his strength earlier. You know... the rocks from Shin-Ah's village? 

Mee-Yon: Oh...  

Yona: Kija... 

Hak: (looked at Mee-Yon) Can I borrow that? (looks at the white cloth) 

Mee-Yon: Sure...? (hands it to Hak) [thinking] What for? O.O

Hak: (clears his throat and puts the cloth on Kija's face) Rest in peace... 

Kija: (hissed and angry at Hak) I'm alive!!

Yona: (stops Kija) Kija! You need to rest! Lie down! 

Mee-Yon: Is that really necessary, Hak?! O____O

Kija: (lies down) I... I apologize. My body feels heavy... The location of the next dragon is more hazy than usual... 

Yona: Don't push yourself! OoO

Yun: Well... we have one other person who can sense the location of the four dragons, but... (looks at Shin-Ah and Mee-Yon, who were sitting beside each other) 

        The two looked at Yona, Hak, and Yun. Mee-Yon blinked her eyes while Shin-Ah stands still. Ao is still playing her hair. 

Mee-Yon: Is there anything the matter? 

Yun: Ummm... How should I put this? Well... ^_^'

Yona: Shin-Ah, do you know the location of the other dragons? 

        Shin-Ah looked at Mee-Yon while she looked at him back, at the same time. For few seconds, they looked at the three and tilted their heads at the same direction and time. 

Shin-Ah: Gomen... I... really don't know. [thinking] I remember hearing words such as Hiryuu and the dragons, but... I can't really understand things clearly. Because.... it was all a dream... and I was a kid too. 

Mee-Yon: .... [thinking] I really can't blame Shin-Ah. I kind of feel bad for him though... *sighs* That reminds me that time... The voices of the ninetails told me to protect Hiryuu and the four dragons, but I really... really can't understand. They have to repeat the same things over and over until Dad had to explain things simpler. Well... Dad's advice and info is a lot better than... I guess the other ninetails. I hate to admit, but it's true. ^_^'

Kija: (gets up) Ohhh, this is painful. (puts his hands are on Shin-Ah's hand) Don't worry. It is not your fault that you did not know. Nobody has taught you about it until now. (huffs a bit) From now on, I will tell you everything you need to know about the four dragons. You may call me your big brother.
