Adventure Love Dream Island

Flower: Labyrinth (1)

[2 August 2011 - 14:20]

I was hoping, there is a magnificent palace at the end of the road that divides this park. But in fact, the map led us to the entrance of a labyrinth, very large, like the palace gate in walt disney films. Two tightly closed door leaves, about 10 meters high with a total width of 4 meters. Made of wood, with carved roses on each side. The entire surface is almost covered in white climbing rose, a type of white rose that grows propagated. They are beautiful, welcoming us with a peaceful sacred atmosphere.

Natsu turned his head, staring at the top side of the big door in front of us. "Wahh .. I feel so small,"

Grandpa' grek!

(The sound of the door leaf starting to move)

"The door will open!" my cheers were enthusiastic with a widened smile.

Rei massaged his forehead with both fingers. "Basic, you seem to enjoy it, instead,"

"Let me see a gate this big and beautiful! We're going to get into it, aren't we? I can't wait!"

Akiko tapped gently on the back of my head with the back of her finger. "You need to be more alert."

Grays' kreeettt ...

The two door leaves opened slowly, accompanied by the sound of scraping old wood. Rei shifted his body quickly – standing right in front of me – until his wide back covered my view. Both of his hands slightly widened to the side, as if telling me to stay behind him.

"Rei, you're in the way!" my protesting while trying to shift his body, while peeking out from behind his arm.

"Hmph! My innocent sister won't understand the meaning of your actions." Natsu chuckled a glance at Rei who was on the right side behind him.

Huh, what do I not understand?

Rei turned his face away from Natsu. "Tch, noisy!"

"The second day of the love adventure, you are getting pro-tek-tif, yes .." whispered Akiko with the emphasis of the word that seemed to be mocking Rei.

"A door that big is suspect! I'm just a little on guard, because this fool is too excited!" rei looked annoyed.

Wuu~shh ...

A breath of fresh air mixed with the thick scent of roses, struck our bodies as the labyrinth door almost opened completely. Although Rei's body was blocking, I could still feel the cold greeting tickling the edge of my black mane.

"The olfactory in my nose caught a complicated and sweet smell, this .. musk rose." Akiko seemed to enjoy it.

"Natsu, apply the medicine again to your nose!" I cried out to see so many flowers blooming.

Natsu looked back, looking at me cheerfully. "My sister cares so much, come here." His hands bent calling me closer. He shifted his position to the left side, while continuing to display a strange smile. "Let's wake up brother-sister relationship in every moment of this journey, in order to be more dek–" (his words stopped, looking surprised to see Rei who suddenly pulled me)

Rei shifted back to his original position (on my right), then pulled my handcuffed arm with him. Just make a distance further with Natsu. "Shut up and watch" he said without caring about Natsu's words.

My left hand was clenching to hit Rei. "Yeah! You're this–"

"Want to see it, right?" cut Rei off while releasing my hand. Even hitting it was not so I did, my attention was shifted to the labyrinth door that had opened completely. Looking fancifully, on the inner side behind the big door. More than a beautiful word. Is this really just a labyrinth? My imagination's understated.

But not so long ago, Natsu's rant disfigured my beautiful mind. Makes me realize the real truth.

"Heee~ I didn't know you were so po-se-sif... separating the sister from her brother was not allowed, you know.." said Natsu sounding sneered because of the tone played.

I could see clearly the stifled growl of anger, and both eyebrows swooping on the furrowed forehead, of this person beside me. I breathed a rough breath, as soon as I finished imagining Rei in unmood mode. I don't want to be his impingement.

"Natsu, stop!" lontarku interrupted Natsu's lip movement that was about to continue his joke .

Everyone looked at me with shocked looks that I thought were excessive.

"K–kau ... defending ... her ...." Natsu's spirit seemed to dart away, leaving a petrified body stiff, as if it would crumble scattered if anyone touched it.

"Sst .. Don't make him mad! I don't want to fight and fall from the tree again. I want to learn to have a good relationship. You have to support me!" my whisper leads to Natsu with his hands covering the entire side of his mouth, not wanting Rei to hear it.

"M-make .. hu .. bungan ...." Natsu spelled weak. "Damkaakk!!! I'm not ready to lose a sister!!" natsu looked panicked. It seems he doesn't understand what I mean.

"Stupid." Rei dropped his little fist on top of my head.

My face looked fast. "Don't mind Nat– "

My words stopped the moment our gazes met.

Lothawat! Rei's face flushed! Did I say the wrong thing?!

We both turned our faces to each other. Both of my hands clenched at the chest. Panicked.

Is he angry?! Is he going to take off the handcuffs first?!

"Hmphh-hahahha!" Suddenly Akiko, Yukiko, and Justin laughed in partially restrained voices, as palms covered their mouths.

Eehh?? Please don't laugh anymore! Rei could be even more angry!

My inner scream.

"Are you ready?" Kouga spoke up.

"Ahh, thank goodness. I feel saved." I whispered relieved.

Kouga's facial lines are full of seriousness. Makes us – especially myself – aware of the situation we have to face. The maze. Imagining that one word again, while looking straight at the inner side of the labyrinth from afar, made my salivary swallowed with great difficulty.

"Come on. We just need to find a way out." take Kouga cold.

I would rather try to enjoy this adventure than worry about the uncertainties. But it seems, I was too relaxed to be less vigilant and put safety aside. Akiko, Rei, Kouga, and the others always remind me.

I twirled my fingers, and somehow I felt so sorry. "Sorry ...." Suddenly the word came out faintly from my mouth.

"Just watch your steps" Rei said, focusing on looking ahead.

"Hm!" I nodded my head quickly. Scroll Rei's face, and I'm happy too. No more blushing, he was no longer angry.

***

Really, the smell of roses burst into my sense of smell, giving a fresh sensation as I set foot through the labyrinth door. The inside is dominated by white climbing rose. However, tucked in a soft pink-peach musk rose, warm and seductive, creeping along until it reaches the top side of the wall. There is also a chevy chase rose that propagates not so high, giving a luxurious touch with pink fuchsia. The whole decorates the walls that make up the labyrinth to be very adorable, sweet and romantic. Wow, again a flash of my imagination expects the figure of the prince to come welcome.

"Keep away from musk rose, if you do not want to be exposed to skin irritation." said Akiko.

"Iritations? This beautiful flower??" I just can't believe it.

"Yes, make sure you don't touch the hair on the seed area under the flesh. That hair causes skin irritation, as well as indigestion if you eat it." Akiko explained.

"Whether it's musk rose or something else, I've warned you not to touch anything that comes from this island. Remember that!" sahut Rei was impressed to judge me.

"Hugh, I know!" reply me while turning my face back.

Loaded green grass like a natural carpet, making the footing feel more comfortable. The blue sky was bright and warm like the sky at 9am, whereas Rei's watch showed the time almost at 3pm.

Carefully Rei put away some of the propagating rods, knocked on the maze wall, and said that it was a concrete wall. Has the same height as the entrance – 10 meters – with one foot thick. Coupled with the presence of creeping roses, accompanied by thorns and irritation problems, it is enough to conclude that the only way out is to explore the labyrinth in search of an exit.

Kreeet's Grekk!!

We simultaneously stepped in shock, knowing that the entrance to the labyrinth was closing quickly. My heart was like jumping out. The reason is, we are focused on staring at the conditions in the labyrinth, and pay less attention to the entrance. Now the big door is locked.

"We can't go back," I said still harmonizing the heartbeat that had raced suddenly.

"Indeed not to return" said Rei. "And ... When will you hold my hand?"

"Eh?! I-I was just surprised!" kilah I quickly took off his left hand which I unconsciously held tightly. I switched to grasping the shoulder straps of my backpack. Why does it feel like entering a haunted house? What kind of feeling is this?! Suddenly the mood was quiet. This labyrinth too .. is too quiet. Where was the wind that blew before?

Rei reached into the backpack. "Are you impatient to get out?" rei asked, turning to look at me. His right hand was still looking for something he had not found from inside the backpack.

"Hm! Can we get out soon??" my question really wants to know. That's Rei, he can always guess what I think.

"Hmmm!"

Rei held back a laugh.

Akiko punched Rei on the left shoulder. "Don't tease her." Then Akiko's gaze turned to something Rei was grasping. "What's your plan? Yukiko was already preparing with the rope roll as a road marker."

Rei ducking. "Let this creature do its job."

Rei activated the prepared path-traveling rat 5 days ago. A small robot in the shape of a white mouse. Designed with Doppler effect system, in order to know the condition behind the wall. Plus the memory to remember the road, sensors on the outer surface to avoid and turn, floodlights in both eyes that can be used when dark, and, as well as a camera on the nose that will convey a visual image to Rei's phone. The rover's signal has been connected to his cell phone.

Rei looked seriously at the mobile phone screen. "The labyrinth's end has not been detected. Too wide a range."

"How far?" ask Kouga.

“Why not an eagle with a surveillance camera in the air?” natsu is like that.

"Within 5 days, I could only modify the remote control car to become a land mouse, not a flying mouse" Rei replied visibly withholding himself. Not long after that the white rat Rei arrived.

Rei took the mouse. "I have an idea ...” He glanced at Kouga, then his head looked up at the sky, then his gaze ended at the white mouse in his hand.

"I understand," Kouga replied briefly, as if understanding what Rei was thinking.

Then Rei and Kouga walked away from each other. Natsu and I were forced to follow because of the handcuffs that bind. About 8 meters away, they stopped and stared at each other. Rei glanced at the white mouse in his right hand, then prepared in the position of wanting to throw the object he was holding.

"Wait, Rei! What are you gonna do?" manya curious.

"Experience in a land rat, the sense of flying in the air,"

Swuuu~shhh!!!

Rei threw his mouse robot up. Darting high past the top side of the labyrinth wall.

"Wow .. Are you not interested in baseball?" I asked while looking up at the sky. He can be a great pitcher (ball pitcher), I thought.

Rei looked towards me. "There's more interesting than all the things you think."

I looked at his face and our eyes met. "What's that?"

Rei switched quickly to staring at the phone. "Prepare to land."

"Eh, really?!" I follow his view. "Np? What's up?" I saw Rei rewind the tape.

"I'm late. The robot has already dived down." Rei looked up. Then his gaze turned to Kouga. "Almost arrived!!" shout Rei.

"Send me!!" Kouga prepared in position to catch the object falling towards him.

Hap!!

"I got! Still on! How'd it go?" Kouga's path approached, followed by all who were also curious about Rei's answer.

Rei looked back at the phone, looking at the footage his mouse robot had delivered as it shot through the air. The time around him stopped. Rei's body was sculpting, his eyes were unblinking, his eyeballs were focused at one point, even his breathing seemed to be choking in a short moment, before his time was again running.

"Rey," I said just to make sure. I may be wrong to understand the contents of the footage.

Akiko grabbed Rei's phone fast. "Are we not close to the entrance? Then where's the entrance? I just saw the arrangement of the bulkhead walls that make up the labyrinth."

Kouga gives Rei a white robot rat. "When your pitch is high enough, but the end of the labyrinth is still not visible,"

Rei took his phone from Akiko. "We're trapped."

The shirt on Rei's arm. "caught? Are we in danger?" Suddenly the anxiety stopped, and began to spread slowly.

"From the beginning, it's been intent on getting in danger." Rei. "Therefore, much preparation was made. I'll make sure we get out of here."

Talk too much. I know his mind is working. Rei hasn't found the answer yet.

"Yes! Let's get started!" Natsu excited. "Your face says I want to hug." whispered Natsu beside my left ear.

Both of my hands pushed Natsu away. "I don't want to be hugged!!"

Again all the views point quickly to Natsu.

"Well, I'm just kidding, he .. he .. he ..." Natsu defends himself once he finds a ready-to-kill look from Akiko.

"Back in each position." Kouga drags Natsu's cuff rope.

"E-ehh .. Even you too! Wait, I can walk by myself!" natsu Protest.

"Hmph haha!" I unconsciously laughed at him. My feelings feel much better. Natsu seems to realize that. He just comforts me.

***

Natsu-Kouga-Rei, they walk in front row. My position was on the rear left incline of Rei, right behind between Rei's left shoulder and Kouga's right shoulder. Rei is in charge of showing the way, which was previously recorded by his mouse robot. Even now, the robot is continuing its search again.

Every now and then Kouga glanced at Rei's phone, to ascertain the direction of the road. It was because Rei's gaze was only focused on staring at the phone screen, and dissolved in his mind. He did not look ahead at all. But because his brain is above average, we do not have to worry about going the wrong way, the possibility of his steps tripping is zero percent.

Akiko was on my left, along with Justin on Akiko's left. Just in case, in the back row there are Toru and Yukiko who are in charge of stalling the thread, marking the road. Not entirely thread is stretched, about 1 meter cut each we turn, then inserted between the tendrils of the plant.

After 200 meters of walking from the entrance, we were surprised by the presence of two female figures. She looks like a cosplay participant. Strange, complicated, and not a fitting outfit for an adventurer.

Kouga's right hand closed the screen of Rei's phone. "My gut feeling is bad about this." whispered Kouga without removing her gaze from the two figures. He pushed Rei's body back two steps. "Protect Kari-" (Kouga's words stopped, as suddenly the figure of the woman covered her mouth)

Quick, very fast!

My eyes haven't blinked yet. Aggressively, the two women kissed Natsu and Kouga's lips in the front row, right in front of me and Rei, without rejection and resistance. Even until the woman finished landing her kiss, they were still standing pecking. Could it be that the two women were acquaintances of those who also followed this adventure? But I memorized all of Natsu's friends, and there was no one like them. Natsu and Kouga are also not the type of people who receive easily, like special treatment from strangers. Before, Kouga looked so panicked.

Whoareyou?

Oh, naw! My voice can't come out?! My body can't be moved either?! What's wrong with me??! Reiii~!! My eyeballs shifted rapidly, glancing strongly at this man to my right.

Ah, even Rei too. The look on his shocked face, clearly imprinted caught a foreign figure before Kouga. His left hand, which seemed to want to grab me, hung in the air just like that, as if the time around him was stopping.

Are you friends also ... ? Yeah, looks like we're all petrified on the spot! What the hell is going on?! Who is that woman?!! My mind was struggling in panic at the worsening premonition.

The splash!

Surprise increases. My eyes are round, my breath is choked. Seeing Natsu and Kouga's bodies turn into luminous water droplets, and slowly evaporate in the air! What other illusion? I could only watch without extending a hand. There's no way that woman could change that! Are there witches in this era? Am I imagining too much? Or maybe I was dreaming? Rei, I don't understand! My inner screams are restless.

The woman with the sun on her forehead, holding the tail of the white mouse, the robot of the road-tripper belongs to Rei. Showing his catch in front of us, then throwing the rat to hit the wall. Make it a little scattered with stomach contents that come out. Rei growled, it seemed like he was angry. I was upset, too, and was convinced that Akiko was eager to hit the woman. But no matter how great our frustration and anger, with this shackled body, there was nothing we could do but hold ourselves on our own footing.

The woman walked over to me. “You don't need it. We will answer all your questions,” he said as he pointed at poor little robot Rei.

“You are handsome too,” said the woman who had a water emblem on her forehead, while continuing to stare at Rei. “But baby, I can't have you.”

Sun Goddess and Water Goddess ― both women open their identities. They are in charge of welcoming immigrants who enter the labyrinth. I thought that they were other participants following this adventure.

Why Goddess? Isn't the prince much more interesting?

I thought of continuing my previous imagination.

Uh, but that doesn't mean I want the prince to do something .. s-like what happened to Natsu and Kouga!!! Absolutely not! Not like that!

My consciousness brushed off all imagination.

“If you want to go through the labyrinth and save your two friends, face the crown prince and princess of flowers,” said the woman who claimed to be the Goddess of the Sun.

Natsu and Kouga?! Where are they? Are they in danger? Wait, the crown prince and princess of flowers .. then the Water Goddess and the Sun Goddess, is this a fairyland?!

My mind's raging.

“Son and the crown princess of flowers will come and seize someone who is beside you.” continued the woman who claimed to be the Water Goddess.

My body jerks. I was really pecking in the middle of my shackled condition. My eyeball shifted quickly, glancing at Rei who was also staring at me through the tail of the eye. At least our eyeballs can still move. Rei's body shook, as if he was trying to escape.

The sun goddess walked slowly around me. “If you are caught, they will land a kiss of death as a gift, and you will ... die,” he whispered near my ear.

As fast as lightning, the fine feathers all over my body were thorny due to the suppression of the word he gave while saying the word dead. My blood flowed quickly, along with the rhythm of my heart beating chaotically.

K-dye of death ...?! What's the difference with the kiss Natsu and Kouga got? But ... It's the same as being kissed, right??! Not just death threats, they turned it into something beyond reason! And one more ... I don't want to give up my kiss!!

The two goddesses took turns to explain. It is said that Natsu and Kouga are hanging on a large tree. They are entwined with plant tendrils that can easily make their bodies crumble, crumble, and die. Only if, the people they love so much among us ― either Akiko, Yukiko, Rei, Justin, Toru, or I ― anyone is injured or dead.

Too many dead words! What kind of stupid game is this?! It was as if playing with people's lives! My mind keeps protesting.

“As hostages, your two friends can only watch your struggle through this labyrinth,” continued Dewi Air.

“Each of you, have one chance to ask for our help, by calling the word water or light. Choose and use it appropriately, the help is only valid for 10 minutes. The rest, protect your destiny and destiny, with a new destiny.” continued Goddess of the Sun.

“Share each of you a partner. Try to stay alive,” they said simultaneously as they walked away from us.

Puffs!

Freer. Our bodies can be moved again.
