KINO HOUSE & MR. YUK MINI RESTAURANT.

Kino woke up from his sleep. Wherever he went, he always felt like it had happened before. He shook his head. Today he's got a plan to do his part-time job after napping for an hour after school. He steps into a mini restaurant after he puts his bike outside. He greets the owner who has already prepared a lot of food to be delivered to houses. The place looks crowded with people. The owner told him to take it to the nearby house.

KINO : “Good evening, Mr. Yuk!”

MR. YUK : “Hey boy! Hurry, take this to the houses.”

KINO : “Has it been busy the whole day again?”

MR. YUK : “I don't have enough hands for all this.”

Kino took the foods into his bag after counting the foods. He then put the bag across his shoulder and once again greeted the owner.

Kino : “Alright Mr. Yuk, I’m heading now.”

He then turns around to step out from there. After one second, there was a big sound coming from the rooftop. For a second, the place is soundless. Kino had a weird feeling about it. Before he turns back to see what that sound is, screams appear everywhere. Kino looks up at something in the air. It passed 7 o’clock. It was like a foggy mist in the air but his eyes caught something at the corner of his eyes. The waiter who looks up at the broken roof suddenly moves in the air with his scream. His arm suddenly ripped off and blood scattered everywhere. It shocked everyone in the restaurant. Kino is stunned to see it. Not long after that, the waiter's neck is ripped. He couldn’t move watching it. His eyes were fixed on that shock. He felt numb out of the blue. Everyone was screaming and running. The body of that waiter was still in the air with blood all over the place.

Even though he had no arms, his neck almost fell to the ground, he was still asking for help with that weird sound. Kino can see how the waiter's flesh is on the air like something chewing it. But he couldn’t see anything. It’s just the mist and flesh. Kino’s ears heard something. The mist is just like grunting and laughing at the same time. He thought he was dreaming!

Kino has total trauma from the incident until he feels suffocated, and he can't move his body. He heard the sound of crunch when he saw the waiter being torn up alive, but he couldn't see the thing that ripped the waiter. He's shaking. His body can sense it. Something. After watching it like a horror show for 1 minute, the remaining flesh of the waiter suddenly paused in the air, and it made Kino's heartbeat faster because he could sense it. He can sense something could be danger that is coming. Close...and closer. Before he could move and say something, something hard pierced his heart. He trembles in stiff. He could hear it. Buzzing in the air. A buzz like laughter until he heard a clank from above him. There's a shadow from above him.

SHADOW: "Ah...another weaker..."

He could hear it clearly. The shadow is talking when he lifts his sight to look at it. It was so unreal, but he could see it was a man with a big torso holding some kind of big rapier, and he was pointing it at the demon. He jumps from above Kino to kick the thing in front of Kino. That was the moment Kino caught a glimpse of a demon on his opposite with a big scratchy mouth smirking. Just when Kino realizes the blood on his chest is from the talon of the demon. It was ready to hold him. Luckily, the shadow appears out of nowhere from above him. He could hear the clank in the air before it was all blanked.

Kino woke up in some place he never went before. With confusion, he walked, and he meet some stranger with black and white clothes. Just when he realized, he ended up wearing the same clothes too. Someone grabs his shoulder. He turns around to see the man is gazing into his eyes. Kino felt a shiver runs down to his nerves.

MAN 1 : “Hey,kiddo!”

The man glare at him with his big smirking smile.

KINO : “Who…”

The man squinting at Kino.

Man 1 : “Ah… he looks newbie here.”

The man laughs and looking at his grinning friends on his back.

MAN 1 : “What’s your name, kiddo?”

Kino stuttered.

KINO : “Ki…Kino.”

MAN 1 : “Do you know the rules when you get here?”

Kino shook his head innocently. He looks around and finds that the place is unfamiliar.

Everything looks so misty and dry. He felt cold.

KINO : “Where… where am I? What is this place?”

MAN 1 : “Eh?? You don’t know?”

MAN 2 : “Don’t tell me that you forgot how you die?”

They laughed. Kino is taken aback for what the man said. He can feel his body is

shaking.

KINO : “You must be joking…”

They stopped laughing. Those men started to get serious.

MAN 1 : “So, you really don’t know you are dead?”

Kino shudder but trying to suppress the feeling by making a little laugh.

KINO : “That’s funny…”

The moment he said that, the memory of what happened in Mr. Yuk’s restaurant flashed through his mind. He’s shocked. It felt real and he was confused again. He, then, looked at those men. Starting to doubt if it’s real. They seemed wonder. Suddenly, Kino was knock to the ground and that makes him scream.

KINO : “Arghh!!!”

MAN 1 : “Is that your excuses, so you can run from us?”

The man grips his hands onto Kino’s collar. One of his foot, steps on Kino’s belly and one more on the ground.

KINO : “What… what are you trying to say?”

MAN 1 : “Huh… all the dead goes to this place to wait for the judgement. But I couldn’t wait and you… you will be one of my followers. Now, go catch the soulless and give me the credit.”

Kino gritted his teeth. He clenched his knuckles, but he couldn’t do anything when he glanced to the men.

MAN 2 : “Ah… we got a little rebeller here…”

Man 2 glanced at Kino’s knuckles with his sluggish face. He laughs again. Kino grabs on the man 1’s foot and throw it away from his body. He gets up in his uncontrollable breathing. The man 1 almost fall, but then he catches Kino with his ‘armer (weapon)’, and it wraps up on Kino’s leg until he falls again. He shivers. Breathless looking at him.

MAN 1 : “How dare you…”

Man 1’s face fell into darkness. He seemed mad. His ‘armer’ moving like a snake to

Kino’s legs, and it sucks up Kino’s blood. He screamed.

KINO : “Arghhhhhhhhhhh!!!”

MAN 2 : “Now that you have anger Tousi’s ‘armer’, you have to die.”

The man 2 with his sluggish face covered his mouth. Smiling. The man 1 raise his arm to punch Kino. It makes Kino cover his body with his hug while his foot being sucked by the snake armer. He thought those people are crazy when they said they are in another realm where it will determine the next place for their life. But the pain is real. Before the man 1 could throw his punch, something struck his chest from behind. He stunned. An armer get through his chest? Kino remember about the moment that waiter’s flesh scattered on the air. He vomits.

OKY : “How about you being my follower?”

OKY appeared behind the man 1. He grinned. He slowly pulls out his armer from the

man 1 chest from behind.

MAN 1 : “Who…”

The man 1 cough a blood. He fell on his knees. Man 2 and Man 3 gritted their teeth, but they are too coward to come forward. Oky glared at Kino.

OKY : “Hey… you okay, dude?”

Kino startled. His eyes fell to Oky, the boy around his age but full of aura. In his hand, there’s this small armer that he used to stab on the man 1’s chest just now. He chuckled, looking at Kino. He put the armer to its place on his arm. He come forward, but Kino seems to crawl back.

OKY : “Hmm…?”

Oky lifted his brows. Realizing that there’s an attack coming from behind Kino. He grabs Kino collar. Kino once again startled. Oky throw Kino to the other side.He grinned looking at the Man 1 with his armer on. Man 1 is standing up unsteady.

MAN 1 : “Don’t be selfish, Oky. How about you become my follower?”

OKY : “Heh… with your state now? Dream on!”

Man 1 throw another attack to Oky, but he managed to prevent it, until Man 1 become

exhausted for another rounds.

OKY : “Well… well… I have another business than wasting my time fighting with you.

But now, I must take him to that person.”

He grinned again while glancing at Kino. Kino swallow his saliva. In a flash, Oky grabs Kino’s collar again and take him away from that place.
