Find Me in 1000 Years

Imprisoned

"Eh, what's your name? Oya, Ken huh? I heard your friend call your name." The man in shabby clothes, rubbed the body of the white cat, slowly. "I'm Odagiri. Odagiri Minamoto's. Your name is Ken, Ken what?"

Ken remembered something. "Ken Tachibana's. Oya, my friend is also Japanese, his name is Ejiro."

"I'm not interested" said the shabby-clothed man briefly. Then he glanced at his cat. "Suchan." He rubbed the cat's head.

The young man scowled. "Maybe, he wants to study with me. He's my teacher ...."

Not finished talking, the man went to bring his cat, upsetting Ken while biting Bakpao in the hand. Shortly, the man returned. He brought a long bamboo container to Ken. "There's mineral water dripping down here so I'm just holding it. This drink."

The young man who was thirsty, drank it. "I can't eat much in the morning. I haven't touched the name."

"Save it." The man dressed in shabbiness then went to another room.

That's when Ken came out. He checked the place. The place was perfect for seclusion. There is no blame for a place out. The walls in that place were almost flat and there was nowhere to climb. He even examined the trees that were high there but still lost far from the hole above where they entered.

Ken fell to the ground from drowning. He punched the ground in annoyance. I really can't get out without his help. How'this?

Odagiri peeked at the man from the door of the house. He smiled seeing Ken lose his mind because he could not get out of the place. I'm sorry, Ken, but this is the only way you can learn from me. You're a good man and I hope you can be one of the world leaders who can make this world a better place.

Ken then spent his time by the lake and sat there until the afternoon. Not even moving, the man dressed shabby then fishing in the lake.

The man has now changed his clothes and is wearing a kimono. He threw the end of his hook into the water and stuck the fountain into the ground. He sat on the ground not far from Ken.

The young man only caught a glimpse of it, then gazed towards the lake. The white cat came out from under the clothes of Odagiri. He looked at Ken. Then he swiped his body at the short-haired man.

Ken grabbed the cat, and grabbed it. He rubbed the cat gently.

"You just sit here, don't you want to eat?" ask Odagiri slowly.

The short-haired man did not answer.

"You haven't had lunch yet, but soon it's night."

Ken stood up and left the place.

"Ken! Don't you want to be strong, so invincible? Do you want your life to be so-so? By your nature, you will continue to intersect with others and the quarrel will not be inevitable. I am here to give you a solution, so that you can keep your principles up and will not be humbled by others. Do you still feel aggrieved by my offer?"

The young man stopped stepping in order to hear Odagiri's words. Although he was still upset at the man but what the man said was true. He does want to be strong so as not to always be considered a weak man where often he is labeled as such. And he is weak. He hesitated to step up.

"How about you wait for this lure. I want to see my silkworms first, maybe they've run out of food."

Ken according. He turned around and sat down beside the man while the man stood up. Odagiri smiled at the young man even though Ken still did not want to talk.

Half an hour later Odagiri came back and got a surprise when the young man shouted to him.

"Sensei, Sensei, I got a fish!!" Ken lifted the fishing line whose end was tethered by a fairly large fish. The fish was eager to escape because his mouth was caught in a hook.

"Oh, let's bake it." Odagiri was happy, the young man was able to forget his heart.

The days passed. Ken began to learn with breathing exercises. At the edge of the lake he sat cross-legged while regulating breathing by closing his eyes. He often does it in the morning when the air is still fresh.

Then science lightens the body. He was taught how to relieve the body from its original weight by walking on water.

"Where can you, Sensei," the young man complained.

"That's see." Odagiri shows pieces of wood floating above the lake. "You just have to walk on it and you can't fall." The man then exemplified. He walked on the floating logs without ever falling. Even he stood on the last piece of wood and stayed there. "How's it?"

"Let's try it first." Odagiri returned to the lake.

The young man tried to set his foot on the piece of wood.

"wait. The breathing exercise was used first yesterday. It helps make your body lighter."

Ken tried to practice breathing before setting foot on the wood, but when he tried to tread it, his foot sank into the water. "Can't, Sensei."

Odagiri laughs. "Yes already. Keep training. You can do it." The man then left Ken alone.

The young man began to practice. At the beginning, he practiced breathing first even though he was not sure his body could be light. Then he thought about running on the wood. It turned out that he could run on the floating wood even though he eventually drowned on the last footing.

Ken swam back upstairs and cheered in joy. "Yelie!"

------------+++------------

Ken was feeding the silk snake with mulberry leaves he had just brought when the martial master came to the place to see Ken working.

"Mh, sensei's going to town. What do you need?"

"Mmd? Sensei, I'd like to come along" exclaimed the short-haired man.

"Can't."

"Lho, why?"

"You may go out but you must be able to with the science of lightening your own body. If not, you can't get out of here."

"Sensei!" sue Ken.

"That was the rule from the beginning, so .. try it yourself."

"Sensei .. why do you keep imprisoning me here." The young man scowled.

"Practice the diligent. You're gonna get out of here." Odagiri ruffled the man's bangs. Then he left her alone.

"Ck!"

"Don't forget, tipped Suchan." said the long-haired man behind without turning his head.

-----------+++----------

Ejiro had been looking for Ken for a month but he couldn't find him. He was sure the man had not moved dimensions.

He did not understand why the man was swallowed by the earth, there was no trace of him at all, but he had looked for him to the middle of the forest. Should he look for her in another city? If Ken is really taken to another city, it means he must leave his business at the inn to find the whereabouts of the man.

He accidentally saw his employee Li Nuo was watching someone. He tried to see what he was watching. "Li Nuo, who are you looking at?"

"That guy, sir. Who does that guy look like? I think I know him." The clerk pointed to a man in Japanese clothes who was shopping in the same store as them.

Mmh .. if you say relatives it is impossible. The man was Japanese while Li Nuo was Chinese.

"Ah, I know. Fake beggar!"
