Troop Of Monkeys

“ It's impossible for a kid like you ! How do you...?Who are you?” Rao coughed out.

Takeshi raised his katana and replied,“I am your fucking death,”and he slashed down Rao's head from his body.Blood dashed out from his neck like a fountain.Some blood got splashed in Takeshi's body and face.

Takeshi suddenly began laughing,“ How I did it to him?I don't know,but I know that he was a fool.A fool ! Just a fool !”

Ryan opened his eyes and lifted his head.His face totally became pale.He saw his calm, innocent,modest friend turned into a violent killer machine.The man was laughing with a imbrued katana and body.A headless body was lying in the ground.A head with a open mouth was sprawling in the bloody soil.

“ Is he Takeshi,whom I knew five years back ?”Ryan thought.

Ryan got up on his feet, slowly.He dragged himself towards Takeshi and put his hand on Takeshi's shoulder.

“ Huh..Oh, it's you.Sorry for dragging you into this...”Takeshi turned back.

“ Hell nah ! If you weren't there,then both of us would not be here—standing and observing this bright daylight.”Ryan insisted.

“ I didn't save you.I saved myself and my dreams.”Takeshi glared.

Takeshi and Ryan rested under the tree.They ate apples as their lunch meal.They dived and swam in Kaimon river.Later on,they sat near the bank and gossiped whole day about their life.The water flowed in the river struck on the rocks at the bank.Hamdfuls of pink petals of blossoms fell on the bank like snow.

“ You were saying that some people helped you when you came in this forest for some time,” asked Ryan.

“ They were not people,they were monkeys.”Takeshi said.

“ What ? Monkeys ! How can monkeys help you ?”

“ When I was traveling hungry and weary through the forest,...”

Takeshi kept his hands on his abdomen.He threw himself under the tree.He noticed a guava tree with full of fruits.He climbed up on the tree and plucked one guava.Takeshi was about to bite the guava when he bit his fingers.The guava disappeared.

Takeshi looked here and there .He learnt that the guava was in hands of a monkey.Takeshi's mouth started watering,when he saw the guava in that monkey's hands.Takeshi crawled to that monkey and snatched the guava.The monkey slapped him down from the tree.Takeshi fell down with his guava.The monkey jumped on him too.

“ How dare you snatch my food ! ” The monkey spoke out.

“ First of all,it was my guava.Wait...How did you say that?How a monkey can speak ?”Takeshi asked.

“ We are special monkeys of this jungle. We belong from Zhuang race.”The monkey replied.

“ So, Zhuang monkeys can talk.”

“ Yes.”

“ What is your name?”

“ My name is Fuji Zhuang ,and yours ?”

“ Takeshi Hikari.”

“ Hmm—It's quite a dense forest and very dangerous for a small human boy—Why you came here ?”

“ Actually,I was kicked out of my village by our village head.”

“ Why ?”

“ The thing is that he burnt my house,killed my dad and kidnapped my mom and sister in his house to fulfill his...lust.And to prove his supremacy and ego,he banished me.”

“Uhh...the thing that happened to you...was very bad and I feel..sorry for it.”

“ Don't feel sorry ! Cause one day all my hardships will over and Shinori's end will begin!”

“ Do you know what's the bad habit of my bloodline ?”

“ So,you tell me..what is it ?”

“ It is that we Zhuangs help others with hoping nothing in return from them.So I have decided to help you out.”

“ I can't do these things,but...I can make you capable of doing it.”

“ Oh, now I have to believe a monkey.”

“ If a monkey can talk, then you can imagine that what a monkey can do more than it. Think about it.”

“ You are technically right then okay I am relying on you.But don't think that I am on you completely.”

“ First tell me what is your goal ?”

“ My goal is to kill Shinori.”

“ Is that really so ?”

“ Yes.”

“ What will happen to this world,if you kill him ?”

“ I least care about that,I don't care whatever happens to this world,if it's not affecting me.”

“ Have you ever thought that what will be your ultimate choice after your dreams and desires are fulfilled?”

Takeshi looked down and rubbed his chin.He thought,“ If all my struggles and desires are over,then my last option for a long rest will be—death.”He looked up and replied,“death.”

“ You are right.Now you tell me that do the people will remember you, after you die.”

“ No,I don't care about it,both before death and after my death.”

“ Then let your fire of revenge be rise,but that much that it will burn you from inside and make you hollow.”

Takeshi looked sharply at Ryan,“ Then Fuji and his troop trained me for three years as a brave ,hard,strong and skillful guy. He was the only one who made me feel my destiny clearly like mirror.”

“ You are enough strong then why don't you go and kill Makyo ? ” Ryan asked.

“ Ok let me tell you about an incident,then you will understand why I didn't challenge him till now,” Takeshi remarked.

One day ,when Takeshi was training along the river bank.A crowd came running towards the river. A boo and yoo scream was coming from the crowd.Takeshi's mind got curious and he asked one of the crowd person,“ What happened? Why you all are running?”

The man just huffed,“ fire!..fire!..”,and he fled.

Takeshi couldn't understand anything,but he looked at the sky and saw a huge ball of fire was coming down and was literally coming into the forest !
