Ch11 Voyage

Jungkook reported at Master V quarters after he said good bye to the baby reapers. He got hugs and kisses from all of them. Jimin helped in packing his bag neatly. Bam bam gave him tips on what to do and what not to do.
"Baby koo koo, you forgot your scythe"  the Grimm noticed on first glance.
"Huh? Ohh no! I forgot my scythe" Jungkook ran back to weapons room and got it quickly.
"I got the scythe" he told exasperated.
"Let's go?"
Jungkook nodded as he followed the Grimm with his scythe.
Master V took him to a shop. He got Jungkook new shoes and coat. He also got him a cap and water bottle. They set out east and traversed through the town to the outskirt. The Grimm led Jungkook out into forest.
"Baby koo koo?"
"Y-Yes Master V"
"The place we are going is uncharted. It is very dangerous and a small mistake can cost you your spirit. Stick by me always, listen to me always, stay attentive and tell me about anything you think is important"
"Yes, Sure Master"
"Good now follow me" they continued deep into forest.
They went to a more darker part of forest where everything is burned down. The Grimm put his bag down stretching his back.
"That's for you to carry"
"B-But I already have my bag.."
"Koo koo, do as Master says" he started walking. Jungkook picked up the  Grimm's bag too and started walking behind him. The place looked eerie. Jungkook would've felt scared but  the Grimm walking before him made him feel safe.
They walked for a long time. Jungkook struggled to keep up with the Grimm.
The Grimm stopped for him and looked back. Jungkook wanted to hurry but his body is really tired and spent. He panted for every step.
His knees buckled and he hit the ground. Jungkook looked down at the dirt as V slowly approached him.
"Are you tired baby reaper?"
"Y-Yes Master V.." he pouted still looking at the ground.
"Hmm.." the reaper sighed.
"The sun is setting..I can hear a stream nearby. Let's camp near it this night"
"Yes Master V" Jungkook bowed.
"Then get up and follow me" he moved away. Jungkook got up on his legs that ached badly. He picked up the bags and hurried behind the Grimm.
His legs felt like jelly, he could feel the ache with each step. He panted badly as the bags felt like they weighed a ton.
"M-Master wait..please" he looked at the Grimm who seemed to be disappearing before him.
Jungkook heard the stream nearby and felt relieved.
"Finally" he dropped his bag and dragged it across the ground.
The Grimm sat under a tree observing the surroundings. Jungkook took his bag and put it near him.
The Grimm opened the bag and took out  four fulcrums.
He put them around under the tree, opened a book and cast a spell.
A tent formed around them, Jungkook looked at it in awe.
He collapsed on the ground in tiredness.
"Baby kook, this is master's tent"
Jungkook looked at him with wide eyes.
"P-Please..let me stay inside. It's scary outside" he asked in a small voice.
The Grimm sighed looking at him.
"Go, get your bag and scythe"
Jungkook nodded and brought his bag in.
The Grimm removed his veil. Jungkook stared at his face.
"Reaper, come here"
Jungkook went near him cautiously.
"Closer"
Jungkook moved closer.
"Here" he gave Jungkook two capsules. 
"It's energy" he explained when Jungkook looked at him confused.
"Oh Thank you" Jungkook took them with water.
Jungkook felt better after consuming the capsules. His aches reduced a lot, he doesn't feel tired anymore too.
The reaper slept on a small mat.
Jungkook felt scared after the reaper slept. There were eerie sounds from outside. He slowly moved towards the reaper's legs and lay down hugging the reaper's left leg to his chest.
The reaper got up and gave Jungkook a serious look. Jungkook looked back timidly.
I can't help it..
"I'm c-cold.." he replied back shrugging his shoulders, adjusting himself a little.
The reaper clenched his jaw. He stared at Jungkook for a little while before giving up and laying back. Jungkook sighed as he closed his eyes.
Jungkook felt cold, he pulled the reapers robes little by little and covered himself with them rubbing his face on the reaper's leg.
He pulled the reaper's robes more as they are not covering him completely. He felt annoyed and gave a tug. The reaper kicked him away with his leg.
Jungkook stumbled away confused.
He looked angrily, with a pout and frown as he found himself a few feet away from the Grimm.
"I-I f-feel cold!!" he said stubbornly and came forward staring angrily at the reaper.
You can do this Jungkook. Don't be scared..don't be scared..don't look away...

He carefully laid down beside the Grimm's leg and put a hand around it still staring at him angrily.
"Careful  before I throw you out" the reaper said angrily.
Jungkook whined a little.
"I-I'm just cold .." he complained in small voice.
He didn't dare cover himself with the reaper's robes. He is scared the reaper would kick him away again. He shivered a little gripping the reaper's pant as he slept.
The reaper sighed giving up and laid backdown.
So, that's how it's done..oof
Jungkook relaxed, slipping into sleep.
