"Despierta..."

"Despierta..."

Her brows furrow at this, groaning. She felt something warm over her body...making her snuggle even more at the source.

"So warm---"

Wait...

She quickly snaps her eyes open at this, bolting from her laid position she was in. She looks around the room where she was, blinking in confusion until another body came in view from outside. She saw a young man, perhaps around the same age as her. His hair was spiky brown, his clothes made out of what she assumed animal skin as he wore a wide grin. He quickly approaches her, beaming.

"Boss....!! You're awake!!"

The emerald eye girl deadpans at this, being that it has been a while since someone called out her title like that. If that was the case, then he must have been in the same school as she was...even so...she had no idea who he was.

"Who are you?" She asked, now peering at the room she was currently in, almost looking like some sort of cabin or hut, "And...what happened...?"

He seems to beam at her response, totally ignoring her questions, "SO YOU REALLY ARE THE BOSS!! I KNEW IT!" The male the turns around and peeks outside the cabin, "SENKU--!! IT REALLY IS THE BOSS FROM OUR SCHOOL--!! I TOLD YOU SO!"

Then, an startled yet annoyed voice responded to the male's loud outburst, "Don't yell so suddenly ya big oaf--!!"

But the male didn't seem to be offended by the other guy's insult...seeing as he turned around and faced her again with a smile. He ushers to go outside, perhaps to meet the other male. The emerald eye girl hesitates for a bit before standing from her place...she noticed that the stone in her face was long gone...except the one in her forearm. She wondered if it fell by itself.

"My name is Taiju Oki! Nice to meet you!!" He says once she got closer, making her bow slightly by his introduction. Seeing that he knew her title, he must have known her name...so she didn't bother in introducing herself. Taiju was kind enough to open the curtain in the doorway, making her emerald eyes shut tight by the bright light.

"C'mon...! Let's go meet Senku...!"

Without gaining her vision, the girl was guided down to what seem like a wooden ladder...Taiju already going down as she followed above with her squinted eyes. Once she reached the bottom, she was then dragged by her wrist again towards to another male she saw from afar. She silently flinched at the rocks from underneath...hurting her bare feet.

She halts when the male stops in front of the other....she assumed he was the one who responded to Taiju's outburst.

"Can't you keep your energy to yourself ya big oaf??" She heard the other scoff, making her emerald orbs peer over to the other male. Her eyes widen at the sight...

On the other hand...when Senku peered over the girl whom they helped out last night...he almost dropped the clay pot he was busing himself with earlier when he saw the said girl.

'W-Wha---"

He was shocked, breathe hitch as his crimson eyes shake frankly at the sight. It couldn't be--? Those emerald orbs that sparkle his way only reminded him much of the little girl who saved him a few years ago. There was no doubt about it, even after many years have pass...he couldn't forget those eyes. It was definitely her---

'What's his problem...?' The said emerald girl thought, blinking in confusion as the leek haired male gaps at her. There was something familiar about the boy, but she really couldn't point her finger to it. Maybe it was the fact that his hair reminded her so much of a leek...maybe that was it.
