~Myeong-Jun~
"It's going to be late soon." Ken'ichi muttered quietly, without knowing that Myeong-Jun could hear him.
"Well, then should we head back?" Myeong-Jun asked him. Ken'ichi nodded in response.

The halls of the palace had that small scent of the rancid tang of blood. An alcoholic whiff blew over the throne room.
The room was all but empty; save for a young pretty girl with long braided pigtails and bright deep blue colored eyes. She quickly scurried off, too, though. Not before she signaled to Myeong-Jun and Ken'ichi farther down the hall. Possibly for some sort of 'dangers' ahead which left this place so desolate.
Off to the distance, Edge bashed in the king's head with some empty bottle. Her hand was all cut up, but she did not seem to have a care about that. Her sole focus was on the king.
From time to time, he would let out a small groan. He barely seemed conscious. Those were the only sounds, followed by Edge cursing at him for all of his wrong-doings.
"Wow..." Ken'ichi's mumbled; his voice trailing off. He looked so scared.
"You..." The pretty blue-eyed girl suddenly appeared behind them. She took in every inch of them; as if trying to decide whether the two in front of her were real or not.
She quickly shook her head to release herself from her daze.
"You both should get out of here."
"I'm fine--" Myeong-Jun started. Then she hesitated for a moment. She may've been fine but-- She looked over at Ken'ichi--He may not be.
"Fine." Myeong-Jun huffed out. "We'll go. For now."
Myeong-Jun hated the idea of leaving, but if it was for Ken'ichi-- Myeong-Jun shook her head. She was losing it.
The girl gave a small confused smile, before she added in a small tone, "Follow me; Hidden set up a, uh, thingy farther down here,"
Ken'ichi and Myeong-Jun nodded. They both began to follow her.
She weaved in and out through dark, and unfamiliar halls. Her eyes were glued onto the floor. Trained, and experienced, from years work in this hell hole.
Eventually, their guide led them to a plain wall. There was nothing special about this wall. It was stupid and boring. Was this some sort of foul trap?
"Wow! A wall!" Myeong-Jun exclaimed sarcastically, "Amazing!"
The young girl looked up to her. Her mesmerizing eyes, which now looked darker than a starless night sky, peered at Myeong-Jun. She smirked at her, and bit her lip to keep back a giggle.
She fiddled with something in her hand, before she snatched her head back up. "Sidetracked," She mumbled to herself.
The girl placed both hands onto the wall. A smaller hum, like the one from Wisp's little brother, omitted from her hands. She quickly gave it a small push, and then shook her hands out quickly by her sides.
A small hole spun around once she was done. The girl gave a loud yawn, and then vanished again. Only a small "You're welcome!" Followed after her.
After one crawled through, it was like a new world. Out opened a whole room. Soft red haze filled the air. Tall sections of books seemed to read into the sky. A few sleeping bags lay scattered across the floor. Hung on one of the seemingly endless bookshelves, was a small painting of an elderly Leaf Tribe couple.
Off to the side, on one of the sleeping bags, Wisp had Hidden sat on her lap. She slowly rocked back and forth, and rubbed her back in a soothing manner. Even from farther away, her small, meek sobs could be heard.
