chapter 2

When he reached the village he was shocked and was filled with anger on seeing the village completely destroyed to small bits. He was full of anger. He saw a lady hugging her small kid and both were dead with their hands and arms tore into pieces. It was a horrible site. He just sat there blank full of anger and sadness until he saw something moving under some rocks. He ran towards them as fast as he can, he removed the rocks. He was surprised to see what is laying there. It was aoki the same little kid who he had a chat with before he left the village. The boy was covered with dust and had few small injuries. Shiki quickly take him beside a tree and laid him down. He tore a piece from his shirt and covered the wounds with it. He opened his mouth and poured some water in it. He then just sat beside him still in thought and full of anger.

The boy woke up after half a day. He was in shock from the attack and on seeing the village completely destroyed. He then looked up and saw shiki and started crying. Shiki hugged him and comforted him. He then asked what happened here. Aoki then started telling him what happened,

"after you left the village some men came. One men who looked as if he had a high position started destroying houses and was asking for the village elder" Aoki explained. The village elder came out from his house and came in front of that man. It came to know that he was one of the three executives of Leona mercenary group named jaye. He asked the elder about shiki. Upon hearing this, Shiki himself was shocked that what business do the executive of Leona had with him. Aoki continued that jaye asked the elder for shiki. The elder told him that he left the village 3 days ago and don't know about him. On hearing this jaye became more furious and ordered his subordinates to kill everyone in here. Luckily aoki heard all this from far away so he quickly went in a underground tunnel which was in his room. But from all the destruction the rock fell on the tunnel and destroyed it. And he was injured cause of it and when aoki woke up he was here lying under the tree with Shiki beside him. Shiki was full of thoughts, he is well aware about why leona's mercenary is looking for him.

"Vader, that bastard. I'll crash you to bits" Shiki said angrily.

Morning came with a bright sun setting up.

Aoki detailed everything.

The guy leading those bastards is named Jaye, he's under the leona organization and was ordered to finish Shiki

"Do you want to be stronger? Shiki asked to aoki. "I do" he replied as fast as light.

They walked quite far and the sun strated to set.

we sat and called it a night, once again witnessing the beautiful creation around us, NATURE.

aoki, starting today you'll be called aki.

"pardon?" Aoki asked while confused.

"we'll be headed back to my house, I'll train you there to be a fine assassin, you can eat everything and you can do everything you like. Just obey me, never betray me and I'll bring you to the top with me. From now on don't call me chief"

"yes che.........what should I call you Mr.?"

"shiki's my name"

we walked until we reached the nearer kingdom. We stopped by and earned some money as many as we can.

We rented a lodge in the certain kingdom

"shit, why am I doing this" I spouted.

I bought a pigeon to be our messenger bird.

I tied the message at the pigeon's feet and threw it to the air gently

"deliver it properly Mr. pigeon, you can't fail"

week later the pigeon came back along with a carriage.

a tall man came out wearing a blue shirt and black shoes. The pigeon is in his shoulder resting as if it's his long lost pet.

"nice pigeon you picked shiki, it's my pigeon. it got stolen from me months before" the man talked.

aki was staring at him like crazy, Shiki covered his eyes for 2 seconds and he stared at him for 3 seconds, he then came back to his senses.

the tall guy was an acquaintance of Shiki.

long time no see Holmes how's the others? Shiki asked.

"they're fine, and was expecting to welcome you back asap".

"you didn't come back home since you joined the assassin organization until it's attacked by some bastards, how are you?"

"what do you think?" Shiki replied boldly.

*sigh*

"aki, go pack our things"

"I've already packed our things shiki-san"

Holmes turned his head to Aki's direction and asked,

"ohooo who's this little guy? why's he calling you like that shiki?

wow once again you gave someone a consent in calling you "Shiki-san"?...how come you ain't angry?" Holmes teased...

"enough" Shiki said before Holmes could say onother word.

aki stared at Holmes confused as hell. He was wondering why Shiki's personality changed a bit.

"let us go" shiki said and walked towards the carriage.

Holmes patted Aki's head and whispered "you'll have to know him more young buddy"

They traveled day and night.

it's raining cats and dogs at a time, aki was tired as hell that he could sleep a year. while he was fast asleep, Holmes and Shiki talked about things. he asked Shiki what happened but Shiki didn't spill the beans. not even a little thing.

"things is how things are" says Shiki. the atmosphere changed, somehow it got cold. Shiki's expression changed in a flash from bright to dark. As they got closer to their destination. At the same time Shiki's appearance changed.

"His hair grew for about two inch longer, Eyes from grey to red as ruby. clothes from normal shirt to a fancy set of clothes designed by a famous designer personally made for nobles to wear."

"finally you're back Shiki-sama, welcome back your eminence" Holmes applied.

We finally reached the ruin. We stopped and we got out of the carriage. The hidden village of Alpha lay Infront of then. it's a village and is Shiki's territory.
