It Wasn't What It Seemed To Be

Chapter 24 -Home-

"Heading somewhere?"

Senra's eyes widened, "Shonen?!"

Soraru sighed in annoyment, "You've got to be kidding me..." The ravenette starting walking up to the male before smacking him on the head.

"One, what are you doing here alone, and almost scaring us to death. Two, where the hell is Un:c?!" He exclaimed. But Shonen only shook his head before giving a nervous smile, "The thing is.. Im actually wondering where U:nc is as well, that's why I was alone so, sorry for scaring you guys."

Soraru scratched the back of his neck, "It's fine. Just go try to look for Un:c and go home. Amatsuki might start getting worried since the time limit of coming back home was six days. And you guys still haven't came home yet from your expedition so go, since we're trying to get these three behind us back to their home." He explained. The male gave a nodd as he started to smile, "Well then, take care! I'll try to find Un:c as fast as I can!"

The swordsman smiled back before gently taking the albino's wrist gently, "C'mon, let's keep going."

As the group went along well, the trail was still clear. No enemies, no fights, No arguments. And once and a while, Eve would even give the group a cookie or two.

"Hey.. Soraru-san?"

"Yes?"

"Since in our side, Luz is our lord who rules our side. Who rules yours?" He asked. He was curious to know who exactly leads the ravenette's group. Who was the ruler of their side? Did they have a palace like they do? He didn't know, but he was curious.

"Hm.. Our leader is named Lon. She's always traveling, making sure everyone in our side of the land is okay." He explained. He trusted the angel and his friends enough to tell him who it was. So it didn't matter to who had heard.

Shima smiled, "Then, we'll make sure not to tell anyone about Lon then. As long you guys dont cause harm to Luz." He said. But even so, he knew that they wouldn't harm their friend.

Once an hour or two had passed, they sat to rest near a few trees. They were close to their destination anyways, so taking a bit of rest wouldn't hurt them. When they each sat down, the group started talking about some things to prepare in case if an attack happens. Mafu had even warned them that it was best if he Shima, and Eve would head into the gates instead of them. It was mostly for their friend's safety.

"Jeez.. Im actually going to miss you three a bit." Senra spoke out as he stared at the ground. Sou could only agree as well. It was rare to meet anyone new other than villagers or their other friends. So having new company felt great to them.

Shima playfully ruffled Senra's hair as he started giving a soft smile, "Don't worry, we'll try to visit you guys from time to time okay?"

The male smiled back as he responded, "Alright then, we'll be waiting."

They spent a few more minutes there talking to each other. But, the more time they had talked, the more they started to not want to return the three males back home. And it was the same for the other half.

The ravenette then gave a sigh as he started standing up, "Let's keep going." They gave a nodd as they stood up, follwing behind the swordsman. Ad they kept on walking though, closer and closer to their destination, Soraru had noticed a few footprints on the ground. He crouched down as he started examining the footprints carefully.

"Someone's here."

They each took out their weapons as the stayed close together, not wanting to seperate. The group each looked around their surroundings while they were still together. They heard nothing but silence, so they began to wonder if anyone was even there anymore.
