Hidden Sister

Chapter 10: Bonds

Ever since the night, Hak keeps feeling the chill as they walk into the town to search for Ryokuryuu again except for Shin-Ah.

"I've had the chills since yesterday..." Hak thought.

"He made Shin-Ah hold down the fort alone again, so we need to hurry and find Ryokuryuu." Yona states.

"Strange enough he's able to stay put." Yoon says.

"Kija, where's Ryokuryuu?" Yona asks.

"I think... he's in this town." Kija replies. "But he is really fast. He moves around constantly."

Just as they walk by a store, a window shatters.

"Stop! Stop, please!"

"Shut up!"

"What?!" Yona asks.

"It sounds like some officers are trashing around the store." Hak says and when the officer punches a young man, Yona trembles in anger and moves forward to enter the store. However, Mana stops her by placing her hand on her shoulder.

"Don't Yona, I'll..." She says as she about to take a step forward, but Kija places his hand on Mana's shoulder.

"You must not go, Mana-sama. Let me..." He says and steps forward but, Hak places his hand on Kija's shoulder.

"You'll make a scene, stand back, I'll..." Hak says and about to step forward.

"You need to stay back too, Raijuu!" Yoon says, stopping the pattern. "Do you understand the situation you animals are in?!"

"But..." Kija says.

"Just a rumor amongst the townspeople, but Kum-Ji's boat was attacked by the pirates last night. The officers are angry right now! I understand how you feel, but right now we need to stay calm." Yoon finishes.

"Hey." Hak calls as he looks at the billboard behind him. "I have something to attend to. Look after hime-san." He says and runs off.

"What?! Wait! Raijuu?!" Yoon calls out but he's already gone. "What's he doing so suddenly?"

"AH!" Yona and Mana exclaim as they look at the 'wanted' list on the board. Both Yoon and Kija look at the wanted list and surprised at what they see.

Kija then senses Ryokuryuu's presence and tells the three that Ryokuryuu is near their area. When they are getting close to Ryokuryuu, they see Hak running up to them.

"Hak!" Yona calls.

"Hime-san, you shouldn't tag along with me in this town." Hak tells her.

"Ryokuryuu's presence was felt around here." Yoon says.

"What?!"

"I will try looking over there!" Kija exclaims before running off to find Ryokuryuu.

"Ah, hey!"

"Hak, what happened?" Yona asks.

"Oh, a pervert was chasing after me." Hak answers.

"Pervert?"

"It's all right. You don't need to know."

"He isn't chasing after me anymore. That was my first time I felt scared of a human being. I hope I don't have to deal with him again." Hak thought

"Let's go, hime-san."

"Okay."

The four go back and search for Kija. On their way, they stop at another billboard and Yona looks at Jae-Ha's poster as Hak rips his wanted poster.
