Just as my brother had granted, I have prepared everything very early this Wednesday morning to do that hiking and sniping session.

I didn't want a whole group of men surrounding and following me. It was unnecessary to say the very least and I would be too stressed thinking about them, for me to concentrate on my aim or where I am stepping when hiking up there in the first place.

So with a bit of convincing I was able to go with just Kaito. He was more than capable of protecting me if that was necessary, which I doubt would happen, but he was also good company. Having a ranting slash dissing session about my brother was always fun. I love my brother, but we were siblings and like all siblings, there were something things that gets on our nerves.

Don't worry, I still love you Ryo.

Anyhow, after a nice calming two hour driving towards the hidden hiking range that bordered a few other organization's territories we arrived at the site.

There was an official hiking course and sure it led to beautiful sceneries and was the safest route, but public courses meant there would actually have public present. I couldn't really use my rifle in plain sight, even if I was only shooting at a few ceramic pieces that were either old, fragile, or just plain too ugly for my father's collection.

So, Kaito had planned a course for us. He was good at that kind of stuff. If my brother was good at putting things into place and taking the action, Kaito was good at planning how to put those said things in place. That was the reason why they worked very well.

The course should take us two hours if we walked constantly but knowing me I probably would take three hours to walk leisurely. Sorry Kaito, I'm going to take my time.

"I'll walk behind you. If you see anything that's odd, let me know." Kaito says as he gets out our things from the trunk of our vehicle.

"Okay. You tell me too." I reply as I take the rifle bag from his hold as he hands them over to me.

"Since when did you grow up?" He jokes or I at least hope he was (I am absolutely not a seven year old child) before he pats my head, good thing I was wearing a hat, but he would never touch my head if I wasn't comfortable with it. The head patting, I mean, he does that all the time. Probably because I was also a younger sister figure to him too.

"Since I turned 18 almost three years ago. Come on, let's get this going." I retort back before turning around and start our hike. He gives a shrug and a smirk that I wanted to get rid of before he follows me along.

It was now ten in the morning and was by no means early anymore and so all the diurnal animals were scurrying about, going with their own day while all kinds of birds chirped to a melody of their own.

The smell of nature, the earthy scent and clean air filters through my nose to my lungs and I sigh in contentment as I feel as though I am being refreshed. It was this that I liked. Being surrounded by nature that was created mostly on its own with a few extra help here and there so that they can continue to thrive on their own.

Each botanical and animal life had its purpose and none where forced to do what they had to do or wanted to do. They were so free.

If I were to reborn into this world, I prayed to be an animal or plant of some kind. I for one did not want to be a human being.
