Himitsu no Kyu (Secret Sphere) [On HIATUS]

Chapter 5

                         The shouts went on as it came closer. 

"How many are coming Saki?" Yuki asked.

 Murasaki closed her eyes, concentrating at the direction where they hear the voices, she then opened her eyes again, "There are four of them." she said. 

"Maybe she knows them?" Kuroshi said while pointing at the white-haired girl. Murasaki nodded then turned her gaze to the girl, "So, do you? Are they your friends?" she asked. 

The girl answered her with a shy nod. "Let's meet them later. But for now, what's your name?" Yuki asked her with a smile. 

"A-ah yes! I'm sorry for not introducing myself earlier," she finally spoke "M-my name is Angela, nice to meet you." she introduced herself with a smile. "Nice to meet you too Angela. So now, it's our turn to introduce ourselves." Murasaki said. Mido and the others nodded.

 But the white-haired girl shook her head "There's no need, I already know who you are and the others." The four teens gave Angela questioning looks but the girl just smiled innocently  at them.

               But then, the sound of a sword being unsheathed from its scabbard was heard, and a low, and masculine voice was heard next, "Leave her alone.." the voice was serious and threatening, and it came just behind Yuki. The brunette turned around and she faced the sharp point of a claymore.  Yuki stared at the sword with an emotionless face then she averted her gaze to the guy who was pointing the sword at her. She examined the serious looking stranger thoroughly, he has midnight blue hair,  the same color for his eyes, and fair skin.

 "What do you want from her?" he asked, giving her a suspicious look and he held his sword dangerously close to Yuki, the blade is inches away from her. 

A grin slowly formed on her lips, "This is such a nice sword. I like it."  Yuki grinned mischievously.

 The guy was pissed because she didn't answer his question, "Why you--!" he was about to say something but he was cut off by another guy who was with him who patted him on the shoulder "Calm down, we don't know what actually happened.." the guy said, he has vermilion colored hair, with the same color for his eyes. 

There are two more guys at the back, one with ebony colored hair who was pointing a crossbow at them and the other has prussian green hair who was holding a dagger, so there are four of them. Mido who was just beside Angela and Kuroshi looked frightened, Kuroshi looked surprised, Murasaki has a serious face on, Yuki still had her mischievous grin on, while Angela  had a worried look but deep inside she was actually..panicking very much.

 The guy who was pissed with Yuki gestured for Angela to walk towards them, but she didn't move, she stayed beside the crimson-haired teen. "Let me ask then, just as what this guy here asked," the guy with vermilion hair started "what do you want from the girl?" he asked. 

 "How rude, we don't know you, you're a stranger, so we won't answer that." Murasaki said, raising her hands up in defense, but that made the midnight blue haired guy point his sword at her.

 "Don't.. even try to move from where you're standing on.." he threatened.

 "Hey, hey, she's not going to do anything to you dude. And can you lower that sword of yours? It's annoying that you are pointing that at my friend." Yuki said, she's now dead serious.

 "This is fine, because we don't know what you and your friends really are." the guy said in response.

 "Excuse me? And what do you mean by 'we don't know what you and your friends really are'?" Murasaki said while furrowing her brows. 

"Hah, oh c'mon that's what they always say, but the truth is that they really are not what we expect them to be, take you four as an example. Maybe you're just hiding your true forms." the vermilion haired guy said in a matter of fact tone.

 "What the hell do you mean by that? You're not making sense!" Yuki said, she was slowly getting annoyed with the situation.

 The four exchanged death glares.

 "U-um!" a small and somewhat nervous voice was heard, the four people who were about to argue some more averted their attention to the person who spoke, and it was Angela. "P-please, stop arguing with each other. U-um, let me explain.." she said. Angela told the four girls to wait for her as she explain to the guys what actually happened.

                                  And after a minute or so, Angela came back with the four guys and they had apologetic looks on their faces especially the two who argued with Yuki and Murasaki, but they turned it back to their normal faces when they saw that the two are glaring at them. 

"Sorry about that, they just misunderstood.." Angela said with an apologetic smile on her lips. "It's alright." Kuroshi said with a bright smile. "Yeah, as long as no one got hurt." Mido said. While Yuki and Murasaki just nodded. 

"Now, I know that you have a lot of questions to ask, but first let me say this," Angela started as a smile crept into her lips,

 "Welcome... to our world named, Zenka!"
