CHAPTER 62: RESCUE MISSION

I stop in front of a landscape similar to the one I was a few moments ago.  I sneak behind the trees and look for what might've caused such a scream, some clue, or some person.

I don't see anything, just calm, as if nothing had happened. I'd think it was just my imagination, but I rather check, and make sure it was nothing.

I walk towards the trees and hide behind them to look around, with all those rumors about me, it's better if they don't see me if that scream turns out to be what I imagined. 

Maybe I'm just paranoid and that scream was just part of my imagination, but to me it sounded quite real. I have to make sure everything's fine.

I sneak from tree to tree, keeping my ears up to hear some other detail, any sound that can tell me what happened or where to go.  However, I don't see anything unusual, I don't hear anything strange either. 

As I walk through a tree, I feel my foot kicking something when I take a step, might've been a stone or something, I look down, but I find something that makes me stop instantly.

A shoe... a black shoe, one of those that buckles, looks like one from our school uniform. I bend down to take a closer look at it.

It's a classmate shoe with no doubt. It's a girl's shoe, boys wear a different kind of shoes.  Has anyone dropped it? I move my gaze towards the shoe to see every detail of it better.

Now that I see it, it's a small shoe... a quite small one.  There's only one person I know who can have such a small foot.. But, no.. n-no no, it can't be her. She must be at her garden stall.

How much I wish I could have a good sense of smell to recognize if it's her.  I take the shoe with my hand and pick it up...

Who am I kidding, it IS hers.  This is from Haru... So that scream I heard... was hers too. 

Anguished, I look up, and look around, trying to find her.  Maybe she just dropped it? No, that's just stupid.

Where is she?  Why's her shoe here?  From experience, I'm afraid I can say I know what happened...

Haru got kidnapped.

???: Do you think she's around here?

I look up as I hear some guys talk from afar.

???: I guess, she's not at her stall.

I see some boys walking over here, a rabbit, an antelope and Kibi.  They seem to be looking for someone, are they looking for Haru too? 

Kibi: We need to find her, we have to ask for permission to take some of her flowers for the festival.

Damn it, they're talking about Haru, that confirms everything.  She's not in her stall, her shoe is lying here, people is looking for her and a few minutes ago I heard a muffled scream, BESIDES I was almost kidnapped yesterday!!  OH MY GOD!!  WHAT DO I DO?!

They stop abruptly when they look at me.  They seem scared.  Great, everyone knows about my rumors.  I get up to walk away, but as soon as I do, they startle.

Antelope: What is that?

Rabbit: Th-That.. is that her shoe?

Y/N: ..What?

I see they're looking at my hand, more precisely, they're looking at Haru's shoe I'm holding.

Rabbit: Oh God, it can't be...

Oh shit, not again.

Antelope: She ate Haru!!!

Y/N: No-Guys, I didn't-!

The rabbit and the antelope scream panicked and run around bumping into each other, while Kibi stares at them just like I do. 

They trip over themselves and finally run away, followed by Kibi turning to see me. He remains quiet and alert, sweating and not even blinking, as if he was waiting for me to make any movement or something.

Y/N: ..... What?

The gray anteater startles and runs away.  Seriously?  Although I'd like to stop them to explain what happened, it's already too late. I don't have time for this.

I grunt and out of anger I clench my fists and make an abrupt move down and I stomp on the ground.  As I do this, I hear a light thud on the grass. 

I look down again and see something that seems to be a black card, from the place it fell, I can intuit it fell from Haru's shoe. 

I bend down again to pick up the black card and turn it over to analyze it.  There's a kind of drawing, I can't define what it means.  Whatever it is, it must be a clue. 

I have to do something.. If I go with Legoshi-No.. He hates me, and in cases like these, I have to go to the police.. Yes!  I'll do that! 

I get up and run quickly, to find a policeman or someone who can help me.  I have to find a way to save Haru.

Whether she sees me as my friend or not.. I must save her.
