Find Me in 1000 Years

Hollowly

Ken's other friends followed. They could only see what was happening, except for Mira who covered her mouth while holding back tears. Yumi is gone. The Chinese girl never thought it would end like this.

"Yumi, he was killed by Lord Z" said Lucille, who was there.

Gojo raised one eyebrow at the woman's words. He looked again at the two bodies until they frowned.

"Lord Z scared me by taking Yumi hostage. Yumi for the sake of freeing me to kill the man, she killed herself with Lord Z's knife." The woman was crouching to clean Lord Z's face. He was curious about the man's real face.

Back the wavy-haired man furrowed his eyebrows. He went back to examining the two bodies. There's something strange about Lucille.

"Lucille, what are you doing?" ask Ejiro. He saw the woman was engrossed in what she was doing.

"Look at the real face of Lord Z" said the woman after cleaning the man's face.

The curious Ken looked over and was surprised. "Ah, this man is still alive!"

Ejiro, Mira and Gojo immediately turned their heads towards Ken as well as the corpse of Lord Z.

Lucille is shocked to hear Ken's statement and re-examine the body. Gojo noticed the woman's panicked face. But Lord Z had indeed stopped breathing. "But I checked, he's dead!"

"No, not that. I mean, he was declared dead by the current while on the beach but his body was never found" the Japanese man continued.

The woman was a little relieved. He was certainly surprised not to play for fear of his lies being exposed.

"You know him?" ask Ejiro.

"No."

"Then, how do you know the story about it?" That Mira brother frowned.

"My father told me a story. I once found a picture of this guy with Dad in his desk drawer. He said it's his brother's picture." Although the man's corpse's face shifted a little older, Ken still recognized him. "But as far as I'm concerned he died when I was 2."

"Oh, it's been a while. Why did he fake his death all this time? Uh, that means he's your uncle, dong," Ejiro said.

"Eh, yes." Ken realized. "Why did my uncle do all this to me?"

"Of course."

Ken breathed heavily. "Why do the people closest to me all go one-on-one" he said sadly as he bowed deeply. That word no one dared to answer. The man's face looked gloomy.

Lucille then stood up. He thrust the crystal ball at Ken. "This is the crystal ball I gave back. Then my job is done."

The Japanese man was surprised. Now, unsolicited, the woman returns the crystal ball she stole. Does that mean he's given up and won't go after Ken anymore? "Eh, thank you." The man took it. He handed the ball to Mira.

"Then I say goodbye."

"Can I come?" ejiro Goda.

The red-haired lady looked pouted and immediately left the place.

Ejiro smiled obliquely.

Ken, in time I'll find you. I will heal your heart until you come back, Lucille promised in her heart.

Gojo sniffed Yumi's body and the dagger stuck in the chest of the girl. Also the body of Lord Z. His animal instincts are so sharp that they are able to separate the human body odor that attaches to other humans.

"Gojo, what are you doing?" ejiro asked half laughing.

"Why is there a smell of Lucille on these two bodies?" asked the burly man confused.

"Is that important now?" ledek's Mira's sister again. "What's important now is that we take these two bodies."

They then carried the two bodies using a small wagon found at the site. Gojo pulls him while Mira accompanies him while staring at Yumi's corpse. Mira is deeply saddened to see the girl's tragic death, but even sadder to see the man she likes lose his spirit of life.

Ken who accompanied Ejiro along the way, much silent. He was like a dazed person who, when asked, did not hear. Brother Mira gave him a lot of spirit but it was not that easy he got up. It was like losing hope.

As they were about to enter the forest, they saw a door that opened. The mysterious man came out and asked Ken for his crystal ball back.

"It." The Japanese man returned the crystal ball taken from inside the bag on his waist.

"That body, let me take it. I'll give it to your father" said the mysterious man.

"I'm coming" the Japanese man asked.

"Not now, it's not yet time for you to meet your father."

"But ...." Ken thought for a moment. "alright. Then say my regards to him. Sorry, I can't save Yumi," Ken said. He fell down and almost cried.

" ... I understand." The man was pampering. He pulled the cart behind the door. After passing through, he closed the door. The door disappeared.

Ejiro turned to the Japanese man. "Well, how, Chief? How should we?"

"You can go. I still want to be here alone." Ken then pulled over and came to a large rock and sat on it.

Gojo, Ejiro and Mira look at each other.

"Eh, I'll take care of him. You don't have to worry" said the wavy-haired man then pulled over and sat not far from the leader.

"I want to accompany him, Brother." The girl pulled over and sat not far from Ken.

"Well!" Want to not want Ejiro to stay because he wants to take care of Mira.

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

Every day Ken's friends try to raise the man's spirit. Reminds her of eating and invites her to chat, but it's hard. It is like losing a passion for life. The girl could only shut up and accompany him by his side.

"Huh, how is this? He put too much feelings on a woman," Ejiro complained to Gojo who was pulling the dried grass leaves in front of him.

"He knew her from childhood, it was like family. It's only natural that he feels so lost" the Chinese man explained.

"He's too sentimental."

Gojo turned to look at the older brother Mira, and snorted with a smile. "Sister, he's young, he's only 21. It was natural that he felt the tragic of his life. Unlike you who have lived on earth for hundreds of years."

Ejiro looked at the man sitting next to him. "Not really. My age may actually be the same as yours, only the difference is that I jumped over a dimension far too far, hundreds of years ago."

The Chinese man laughed. "That's right Mira dong said, I don't need to call you brother."

Ejiro even pouted. "Well, it's up to you!" he said he was upset and turned his face to the side. Gojo smiled broadly.

Elsewhere, Mira begins to persuade Ken. "Sister, let's go somewhere else, yuk! Visiting a place we haven't been."

The man still looks grim. He tried to swallow his saliva with great difficulty before answering the girl's question. "Mira, sorry. Leave me alone. I want to be alone. I don't want you to waste your time with me."
