Adventure Love Dream Island

Flower: Labyrinth (2)

[2 August 2011 - 15:38]

As free from the shackles of space and time, our joints returned to normal. Rei immediately pulled my hand. “We pursue, they!”

Has not been able to answer Rei's invitation, my body is still shaken because it has not reached full balance, immediately interested to come with him. I understand, and we do, want to immediately pursue women who claim to be goddesses. The chase is carried out while continuing to shout calling the names of Natsu and Kouga.

"Ah .. hah .. hah ...." I ducked in a breath. My left hand was propping up on the knee, while my right wrist was still held by Rei. I tried to balance his running speed. "Let's go ... we go after .. again."

"Enough, we'll just go back." Rei replied briefly as he took his eyes off the phone screen.

I stood up straight. "Eh? W-we lost them? You better follow it at full speed!" I said grabbing the handcuffs in Rei's hand to take them off. I was thinking of waiting, because I wasn't sure if I could run again at the same pace.

Rei stopped me. "no need. They cannot be achieved by just running. And ...." Rei looked at me seriously. "Don't think of taking off the handcuffs again."

"Hm." Let's just say you understand. "So then, I'll just wait."

Rei pulled me walking. "After all, I don't want to leave you. And don't be far from me." he said coldly, looking straight ahead.

We both decided to go back to see my other friends. Wanted to tell him we couldn't catch up. Yet again the awkwardness approached. My friends were nowhere, where Rei and I left them before. Rei was sure, that we didn't go the wrong way. Yukiko's thread roll was lying on the corner of the street. Could they be chasing too?

“Hah!” pekik Rei while staring at his radar. Enough to surprise me. I pulled her arm, followed her eyes because I wanted to see what made her scream.

“Friends disappeared ...” I said quietly almost whispering, staring at the radar Rei still held. I drew my radar that I put around ―'s neck hoping Rei's radar was damaged. But the small screen showed the same results.

“Even we are not detected.” I shake the radar in the air. “What's the radar broken?” I'm getting restless. Now even the words of the goddess are ringing in my head.

/Yukiko! Where are you guys?!/

No response from earphones. The phone also has no signal. Rei's index finger curled, but the stinging scream from me first sounded, because Rei managed to clamp my nose.

"It's too soon 10 years for you to be able to bite my finger."

"Hw." My cheeks bulged in annoyance. Rei can always read my mind. And his actions proved that I was not dreaming right now.

"Natsu ..." I whispered. "What should we do, Rei ...."

Fear, anxiety, panic, worry, confusion, and annoyance melted into one until it slowly undermined my expectations. Negative aura spreads throughout the body. Haunting thoughts that make me not know what to do. Rei grabbed my finger, then grasped it. Energy that I did not understand, flowed into my body through the grasp of his hand. Little by little, channeling calm and giving a sense of security.

"Basic fool. Don't put on that face. Radars can also be wrong. I'm actually here, right?"

Rei's right. Radar is wrong. I could see and feel Rei standing beside me. He picked up his little mouse robot, then stuffed it into a backpack. He opened the phone again. Not so much distance covered by his mouse in the second search. The annoying goddess caught it first, even damaged it.

"Save my phone. If anything happens, go where I've been." Rei gave me his phone.

I hug Rei's left arm. "W-what do you mean something happened? You said you didn't want to leave me, did you?! I won't leave you either!"

"Hmph-haha! Since when did you stick to me?" cut it while ruffling my hair.

I'm out, pulling my hair. "I-I'm not sticking to you! That's because you said something weird, you scared me on purpose, huh?!"

Rei smiled. The forced smile. "I memorized the labyrinth map recorded. Therefore, you use my phone."

"But, for ap– "

“Probable! You don't deserve to wear handcuffs with My Prince!” someone who suddenly enters the conversation.

Rei directly put up the body. Herding my body to immediately hide behind him. Yes, again a woman with a strange appearance, came to us. Long curly hair pink. Shades of cherry blossoms adorn his entire body and clothes. It is suitable if she is present in a flower festival, because her appearance will look more attractive and very supportive, when used at the right time.

“Stay with me,” whispered Rei without taking off his eyes from the strange woman who was slowly walking closer and closer.

I held backpacks. "Hm!" Let's just say you understand. My feeling is getting bad. Like danger is approaching.

“My Prince, don't look at me like a bad woman ...”

“Tch!”

Not wanting to continue the chat, there was no intention to just say hello, Rei immediately grabbed my finger – grasped tightly. Turning around, went running leaving the strange woman.

“What is she crown princess of flowers?” ask me while aligning the breath and movement steps.

“Forget it. We focus on that place.” said Rei while paying attention to the road.

"The place you marked? .... What place?" My breath began to puff.

Rei's speed slowed down. He adjusted my steps. "Eitherway. The formation of the labyrinth wall around the place was always changing. As if it was intentionally hidden. We'll know once we get there."

We keep running. Tracing the path with Rei's memory as a guideline. Rei's phone I put in my little sling bag, along with mine. Just in case, according to his request.

Silent. Not a single breeze passed by. Only our footsteps sounded simple. The towering walls with many choices of road directions, plus the smell of musk that increasingly clogs the respiratory cavity, this labyrinth successfully makes me nauseous and depressed.

Zreesshh! Cetekks!

Something hit the handcuffs when we were about to turn the other way. The steps stopped suddenly. We stared at each other's handcuffs in our hands.

“Patah ..” my whisper slowly sounds shaky.

What kind of thing could travel as fast as lightning, and be able to break metal?

Rei's grip was getting stronger. My chest is tight, because my heart is beating randomly. The danger kept approaching. Nope. We are the ones who approached intentionally.

“Do not worry. Another bit. Come on." His fingers pulled my steps. Running slower than before. I know, at least we can't stop. And I know, he tried to look calm, so as not to upset me.

Swuussh!!

Suddenly something shot right in front of us as it was about to turn. It was shocking, forcing us to stop suddenly. I made the kneecap as a left-handed pedestal, intending to remove the fatigue. As for my right hand, Rei had no intention of taking it off.

Slowly Rei stepped forward, then turned his head to the left. Looking for 'something' that darted in that direction. I also peeked out of curiosity. Apparently, a golden tulip flower was stuck on the wall. And,

Zrsbh ...

The flower turned into a golden powder that slowly faded away, disappearing.

Rei instantly pulled me, “We turn the direction!”

“It's enough to play it.” says someone with a heavy voice – right behind us. My eardrum caught a different foreign sound. The fine feathers all over my body were in unison thorn. Really, shocking! The friction between the grass and his footwear, enough to make my heart beat faster. We immediately turned the body. The man stopped his steps, just as we faced each other.

There are a lot of strange looking strangers. This time a man in front of me, holding a golden arrow bow, looked very beautiful with tulip patterns on the surface of his bow. Smooth skin with face falls into the category of handsome men. His shoulders were broad and dashing, like an archer athlete. He's probably 2 or 3 years above me.

"Tch."

Rei looked annoyed. He pulled my hand until this body was attached to him. A sweat slid on the edge of Rei's face. The question was like a mind-blowing one, “You know Zeroichi-sama, right?! What is your real purpose?!”

“Don't rush, we don't know each other yet. Or maybe .…” The strange man's gaze shifted to look at me. “You already know me, My Princess?” softly while smiling at me.

I hid behind Rei's shoulder. I feel uncomfortable with his smile. “The story of the sun goddess …. Are you crown prince of flowers?”

The man rolled his eyes while sighing. “Again him, I hate him so much.” Then smile back at me. “Slightly inexact. I'm the Crown Prince of Tulip Flowers. My Princess, come with me.” invite him while reaching out the hand of a prince.

“Ng? Is the crown's son there much? Does each flower have its own crown son?” askaku.

“Your questions are good too. Now you're getting smart, yeah!” Rei ruffled my hair with his right hand.

“I don't like to wait long.” said the Tulip Flower Crown Prince who seemed to be getting upset. Feeling the special treatment when extending a prince's hand, I ignored it. “My Princess, come here. I will introduce you, another crown prince of flowers.” he continued while extending a hand.

“No I will let you take it from me.” interrupted Rei.

Crown Prince of Tulip Flowers – I call Son of Tulip – pulls back his hand that hangs empty in the air. The shape of his face slowly changed. His eyes lifted. “Really? You better pull those words.”

“Come on, I'll hold him, and I'll make sure to catch up with you soon.” whispered Rei without letting go of the sight of Son of Tulip.

I shook my head, resisting quickly. “No! I'm not leaving without you!”

“Remember what I said, now is the time. Go!” Rei slightly pushed my body, to stay away.

"But, Rei– "

"Trust me."

No. gabe. It's not your serious face with a thousand plans. All I see is a full look. But I have to trust you, right.

The son of Tulip walked over, “Hope." he said with a sharp eye. He pulled his bow.

“Quick go!” snapped Rei.

“Please promise to catch up soon!” I asked before I actually left it.

"Hm."

I ran away leaving him too. Using Rei's phone, run towards our previous destination location. My hands tremble. I clutched his phone firmly, afraid if it slipped just like that. Rei could kill me!

Sometimes I look back, hoping he'll catch up with me. As I continued to run, I tried to digest all the information the two goddesses gave me. Natsu and Kouga, how are they doing? Akiko, Yukiko, Toru, and Justin, where are they now?

BOMM!!

"Huh? What's going on?!" I stopped my step, then looked back. "That ought .. the sound of the explosion."

Where did the explosion come from? Why is Rei so long?! It is impossible ... Rei must be okay, right?

Unbeknownst to me, tears flowed and fell on the fine grass near my feet. I'm worried. It feels so cramped. I shouldn't have left. Rei always took care of me, I should have done the same thing, not left. I almost had tears falling. Then back to running in a direction. Pick Rei up.

Gubrakh!

I fell down because I tripped on a rope. When in a hurry, one might be able to see such a thin rope. Am I going the wrong way? There were no ropes on the road before.

The rope that stuck to my shoes. “Eh? Yarn?”

Reminds me of Yukiko. The color is red, different from the previous thread rolls that are blue. Yukiko does carry 3 rolls of yarn with different colors. Red, blue, and yellow.

I traced the thread hoping to meet Yukiko. But a few meters later, my hopes were dashed. I found a thread roll lying around without Yukiko or Toru. If it is true that the crown prince and princess are more than one flower, then the other friends, must have experienced the same thing as me.

. . Take care of each of your partners.

Trying to believe the words of the goddesses. I have to be with Rei!

Bukh!

“There is nothing special about you.”

My forehead crinkled as soon as I heard his voice. I looked up directly. I stared at the figure in front of me from the bottom up. Cherry blossom shades. No doubt, she's a strange woman who calls Rei My Prince. I prefer to call her a strange woman, rather than the crown princess of flowers – sakura (?).

“A-there need what with me?!”

“Nothing, just .…” He walked over. His look scared me.

“Ma-mau what .…” My steps are starting to get cornered.

“Just want to see you closer.” whispered grabbed a few strands of hair near my face. Too close. I could hear his regular breathing. He looked at me so deeply, what did he see?! Makes me more uncomfortable. Cut his hand. I can't stand it. It's weird, because she's a woman.

“Hm ... easy once.” He smiles.

“You ... female, right?” many ensure.

His facial expression changed immediately. “Stupid. I'm normal, you know! So men won't even look at you!” He walked slowly away from me. “But thanks to you, I can get it easily.”

By the time I chased her, the strange woman was gone. Whatdoes thatmean? What's he gonna do? Come on, Karin .. think ... think ... !

. . Is she the crown princess of flowers?

. . The crown prince and princess of flowers will come and seize someone who is beside you.

. . You don't deserve to wear handcuffs with My Prince.

. . Thanks to you, I can get it easily.

. . You will die.

“He's after Rei!” thought concluded. I went back to look for Rei, hoping to find him first than that strange woman. He's in danger, I have to protect him.

“Reeii! Where are you, manaaa?! Reeii~! Answer meu!!”

I hope, by continuing to shout, that he might be able to hear my voice.

Where are you, Rei ….

No matter if the night comes, it doesn't matter to what extent I have to run, no matter how many strange figures I'll meet. I ... I just want to find you right now.

“Reii~! Hahh - hah ..” My breath began to puff. I'm looking at Rei's phone screen. "I don't know where it's headed. There's only one sign to go to. As for the last position when parting with Rei, I don't know ...."

I almost had tears falling. “Please ... answer me, Rei.”

“Karin!”

That's Rei's voice! My mind guesses.

“Re..emmph!” Someone shut my mouth. I did not realize his presence. I quickly put Rei's phone into a small sling bag – where my phone is.

“Karin! Where are you?!” Rei shouted back.

“Emph! Mmhh!” I can't answer correctly. This guy keeps pulling me ― keeps me away from Rei. I tried to escape. But his big hands, flanking my body firmly.

“Karin!” rei's voice was getting away.

“I told you. You must come with me.” the whisper is ear-shaking. He's the Crown Prince of Tulip Flowers!

"Ermph!! Mmph!!!" I keep on making strong fights.

“In a moment ... You'll be mine, My Princess.” whispers satisfied.

Nah! I don't want to! My mind is struggling.

Dukh! Bukh! Dukh!

I stepped on his foot three times. Hand loosening. My body is a little free. I hit the sensitive part as a man. First time I've done it in my life! That was the last style Akiko taught, when it came to dealing with men.

"Arm!!" his screeches. Clenching his legs and ducking looked in pain.

A powerful move. I feel proud, because Akiko taught me. I used that opportunity to escape. Run back to find Rei.

“Reii! I'm here, Reeiii!”

The shit in front of me was a dead end. I turned my body to find another way. However it seems, the goddess of luck was less on my side.

Yes, the Son of Tulip is standing right in front of me! The labyrinth and the path of the mountain successfully trap. The heart is not beating. The pace of his steps that continued to walk closer, adding to the rhythm of my heart until the pulsating faster. I think my breath is starting to sting. My feet are also starting to limp. Can only move back slowly.

“No need to bother, this maze is quite helpful.” Her smile was fluffy, creepy. Implied the most frustration in – that he wants to tell me.

“R-rei is fine, right? What did you do to him?”

“Yang patut dikhawatirkan saat ini adalah kau, My Princess.” jawabnya lembut seraya terus mendekat ― menyudutkanku.

“What did Zeroichi-sama promise you? Why do you want to play this stupid game?!” just pissed.

“You want to die quickly, yes. If you don't shut up, I'll keep your mouth shut!”

The son of Tulip really wanted to pounce on me, snatch my first kiss! He really seriously did it!

“Hentikaaa~n!! Huh, huh!” I shouted while pushing him. But the power from both hands was too weak. Not giving me enough space to escape. But luckily, the back of my hand managed to block his deadly kiss.

Of course I won't give her a single piece of convenience. My body went limp for a moment. My breath choked, almost dead. He made a bad impression on my first kiss.

“My land can be used, but it doesn't make me happy. I like your expression now.” he said as he stroked his lips.

“The basics are not sane! Tulips are not suitable for you! And it's not worth it to lay down as your name!” I said I couldn't stand his attitude. And now the look in his eyes is changing, creepy.

“Good. Still got the last words you want to say?”

The look on his face showed that he was really angry. So natural. I'd rather see it like this, than have a fake smile. But ... can I avoid it a second time? What am I supposed to do?!

. . Each one of you, has one chance to ask for our help,

. . Calling the word water or light.

. . Choose and use it appropriately,

. . The story of the Sun Goddess ...

. . Again, he, I hate him so much.

“Layaa~! I choose light!!” I shouted very loudly, hoping that the Sun Goddess would hear my voice.

Tulip's son became agitated and panicked. He dropped down, kneeling before me while rubbing both his arms and face.

“Be-how dare you! I will not forgive! Aaarggh!!” he looked very painful.

It deteriorated. He kept shouting with horrible eyes. Skin peeling. His body began to dry up. It looks very fragile and slowly becomes ash, some of which begin to vanish by the wind.

“Remember that My Princess!!” the son of Tulip shouted, before the wind blew away the ashes of his last body. Like Tulip flowers (Churippu) that will wither and dry as summer approaches.

Without wanting to dig deeper into the ‘things strange’ that just happened, my feet were already impatient, my mind kept demanding to go back to look for Rei. No yelling, because that's one of my faults. Not just Rei, anyone can easily find me. I need to find him calmly.

. . If anything happens, go to the place I've been.

. . Karim! Where are you?!

"I'm sure, Rei must be fine. Right, I have to be sure!" I reopen Rei's phone. Look carefully at the labyrinth. Then start running, fast, and get faster, without wanting to stop.

Please ... wait for me, Rei!!

Another bit. There are two turns left, and I'll be there. What an impatient! I've given you a boost of maximum power, but my speed even feels slowed down. I'm telling you one thing, I was never selected to join a relay race on a sports week. So this time, I gave myself a sense of pride. Forget it, just trying to encourage.

My breath hunts through my mouth. Like floating, my feet are numb. I don't know how far I've run. I definitely don't want to stop before I get there. Because if I stop now, I'll make sure I can't get back to running.

"Ah - hah - hah ...!"

The movement of the steps stops automatically after successfully passing the last turn. Haven't had time to wipe away the fatigue, both my eyes even widened. The wide back I knew, was about 8 meters from my position. Yes, Rei Takahashi! I managed to find him! But for a moment .. I forgot my purpose.

Rei walked slowly further away. Completely unaware of my presence still standing as if losing my identity. Am I hallucinating? I really don't understand the situation before me.

Rei is there! And he's approaching me?! Ah, I'm going crazy. But Rei really came up to me! More precisely someone who looks like me, is very similar. It's just, I don't like seeing it. Too much blood all over the body. Makes me tremble to embrace myself. A little to make sure, that the condition seen on my body is fine. As for me who was there unconscious, sitting limply leaning against the wall. Ah, yes ... wall without roses. I just realized this place is different.

. . I want to see you closer.

. . it's easy.

. . Thanks to you, I can get it easily.

I dropped the backpack on my feet. Out of nowhere came the energy boost that made my legs swing back. Run as hard as you can while shouting, “Reiiii~ ! Stay away!!! He's not me!”

Rei looked back, his countenance chaotic. It was the same with me when I saw my own body covered in blood.

“No, Kariiiin!!! Awaaa~s!!” Rei yelled at me.

Wuu~shh .. jleb!

Zrssshhhh ~ !

My feet stopped moving. Not because I don't want to. It's just that my energy is being robbed. Out of nowhere the sakura petals came along with the gust of wind. It slowly formed a whirlpool of wind that surrounded Rei's body. Trapping Rei in it.

Someone ― who looks like me who ― is covered in blood, change his form. My mind turned out to be usable, because once again my guess was right. Crown Princess of Sakura Flowers.

Rei's cry earlier which seemed to warn me, I don't understand. My head is getting heavy. Let alone running towards Rei, my standing balance just started to waver. My vision also began to blur. Something cold broke through my back – through the skin.

If only I could avoid. Ah, no! If I dodge .. most likely Rei will be hit by – arrows. A person who made me tremble with just the clattering of his steps, whipped out a rough arrow that stuck in my back.

. . That help is only valid for 10 minutes.

Stupid, I just remembered it. It was only natural that he came back full of vengeance. It turns out .. a sprig of tulips is quite painful. Golden tulips, I'll remember. So ... allow me .. to go back .. open my eyes.
