Crimson Fire Pt.1

Word count: 2997-- 1) sorry for the long wait 2) ENJOY~!

Somewhere within the armory storage huts, one hut, in particular, had a scavenger cluttering around inside. Weapons were tossed left and right, causing a loud ruckus and fairly large mess.

Hak grunted out with slight frustration, "I need a weapon that's smaller." He tossed another dagger over his shoulder.

"Ah! Lord Hak!?" A merchant yelled in surprise upon seeing the young man, "What are you thinking, going through my merchandise in the middle of the night?!"

Hak barely batted an eyelash at the civilian, "Oh, hi, sorry old man." Just as he gave his insincere apology, he grabbed a long sword. "I woke you up, huh?"

Deadpanning, "No, that's not the problem. My doors are broken!" The man thrust his hands at the broken doors he knew he had securely locked.

Ignoring the irritated outburst, "I want a dagger and a bow."

Anything the merchant felt vanished, "Huh? Are you going hunting?"

Hiding his sad smile, "Something like that." He grabbed a decently sized dagger, "I'm leaving. I may be out for a while."

After taking the weapons he wanted, Hak tossed the old man a bag of Ling, "Sorry for the trouble."

"You're actually paying for it?!" This caused the man to exclaimed, completely muddled.

"Old man, " Hak began again, "Thanks for all you've done. Live a long life."

And that, Hak, exited the storage hut in silence.

The old man watched the man disappear. With a grimace of despair and worry, "You seem...to have calmed down a bit...stupid Raijuu." The man muttered.

"Han Dae has returned!"

The shout shot me from my light sleep. A gasp escaped me. I sit up from my futon.

-a few minutes later-

Tae-Yun sipped on a small cup with medicine mixed with the drink.  Yona sitting on the boy's right side, Tae-Woo at his feet, Han Dae exhaustly moaning on the floor.

"Are you alright, Tae-Yun?" Yona asked, carefully watching the small child.

I yawn, holding my palm over my mouth as I do so.

"Han Dae, you were super fast", Tae-Woo gave his exhausted friend a thumbs up with blunt approval.

"Leave it Han Dae!" 

"Does it hurt?" I ask softly, crawling toward the Tae-Yun's futon. 

"Is there anything you want?" Yona finished the question I was about to ask.

Suddenly, Tae-Yun's eyes slanted, gleaming happily. His smile melts anyone who saw it, their hearts melted like ice. "Thank you, " Yona, Tae-Woo, and the now conscious Han Dae suddenly sprang, blushing at Tae-Yun's cuteness and let out high-pitched squeals, "But I'm okay."

"Ahh! You're the cutest wittle thing ever!!" Yona gushed, going in for a hug.

"Let me squeeze you~!" 

"Let me hug you~!"

"Han Dae, live!" Tae-Woo said just his friend faints. Grabbing Han Dae, Tae-Woo begins, "Okay, I'm going to express my sympathy to the merchants...and then bury this corpse."

I watch as Tae-Woo walks off with Han-Dae.
