Year 4014- Mist Kingdom Main Castle (West)

At precisely 8:00 PM, the plan starts .

Like Rhys however, Kazuya could not concentrate solely on the plan . His thoughts drifted to the image of Lyn's retreating and lonely figure, as she walked away with Rhys . A dinner with her family, even though this whole day Lyn had to sneak around . Kazuya clenched his fist; he shouldn't have let her go .

Before he could turn and go back though, f.u.kami grabbed hold of his shoulder, "Kazuya, what are you doing?"

"Uh, taking the shortcut . "

f.u.kami rolled his eyes, "There is no shortcut . Let's get going . Rhys has already started . "

He has? That was fast, didn't Rhys have to part with Lyn first? Didn't Rhys feel bad at all for leaving Lyn be? Kazuya shook his head . Rhys doesn't have any reason to feel attached to Lyn; there's no connection between them whatsoever . He recalled his friend's words in the market, Rhys is brutal, but he's a good leader . Kazuya understands why the Sound Kingdom Elders have so much faith in him . In the beginning, Kazuya used to think Rhys was annoying . Just like the others who feigned kindness around him, those who said empty words to make him feel better . However, that person is not like that at all .

When Kazuya thinks about it, "Reminds me of Lyn," Kazuya murmured as he followed f.u.kami down the hall . Lyn and Rhys have a lot more in common than he thought . The Elder said this mission used to be somebody else's before but never disclosed details who . Is it possible that the person was Rhys? Kazuya sighed, don't think about this now . Focus on the mission, the mission .

But whether it was Rhys or Lyn, the two are both important people in his life . That's why Kazuya wants to make sure that the two of them are happy .

So what exactly is the plan one may ask? It's not exactly an organized one despite all the meetings they held . Then again the word organized does not suit the people of his Kingdom . Kazuya was one of the few who was against making a move so early . Only a few weeks have pa.s.sed since they arrived here . Due to their unusual hair colors and eyes, they already stand out enough as it is . Plenty of watchful eyes are on them every time they go anywhere . But because of the security needed towards the royal family and guests for this event . Those watchful eyes have shrunk .

"The location of the item is a bit unclear . "

Kazuya raised his eyebrows, "Unclear?"

"Yes," f.u.kami paused, "I'm unsure whether or not it's just a coincidence . But the item is moving . "

Kazuya halted in his tracks, "Moving?"

"Yes, sir . "

If it's like that then, "f.u.kami go ahead of me . "

. . . . .

When he was younger, Kazuya noticed there was something different about himself in contrast to other people his age . Though the people in the Sound Kingdom had extraordinary powers and everybody could use powers relating to sound . There weren't many who could actually see sound - as in seeing what colors, each song had . Usually, people could measure the wavelength and know the frequency of the sound .

But not many people could see sound the way he did, with the colors swirling around, each and every single rhythm being different . At first, Kazuya wasn't sure exactly what he was seeing . It started from when he was a young child; he always saw the world surrounded by various different colors . Kazuya always thought the world was a bright place but after a conversation with other children . Kazuya realized he was different .

Several years pa.s.s and here he is, still amazed at his own powers . During the battle he had with the Second Prince Of The Mist Kingdom, Kazuya realized something different about his abilities . When he's around Lyn, the colors don't vanish and dissolve into nothing like bubbles . The colors from the surrounding buildings become apart of him, and the weapon he is carrying if he's in the battle .

When he isn't, and it's just them two . Sometimes it feels like the colors wrap around Lyn too and he hopes that's the case . These colors have always kept him safe, so it would be nice if that were the case for Lyn as well .

The reason he separated from f.u.kami was because he believed it would be better for him to search alone, considering the nature of his powers . Sure enough, it didn't take him long to find the place they were searching for .

"I found it at last," Kazuya murmured .

Part of the mission was not only to obtain a particular item but certain information that would lead to the whereabouts of something that will help control the item .

On a 'building' disguised as a government office building in the corner of the Mist Kingdom . Despite the effort, they took to conceal the building, upon approaching Kazuya saw clear signs of it being suspicious . He briefly closed his eyes and used a little magic to remove the restriction . On his way inside though, there were traps in all areas . His sweat fell, and a deep sigh pa.s.sed his lips . This situation is a pain; he scanned the traps - invisible magic lasers from the sides but none on the ground . One usually doesn't leave the field without any traps though . Kazuya closed his eyes again, the stream of colors wrapped around him .

Though he could not identify the trap on the ground, it looked similar to Magic smoke bombs . But once he used his Sound waves on the ground, it vanished in an instance . Contrary to the grand design of the door and outside, Kazuya noticed that the place showed signs of being abandoned for a long time . The smell of wood mixed with stale air .

Kazuya looks for the information in prominent places . Cabinets, drawers - the desk . Eventually on the counter, after picking the lock, he finds several encrypted notebooks . Kazuya frowned, a bit too obvious .

He scanned the room again before walking over to the grand clock hanging in the center of the room . It was one of those old grandfather clocks - but Kazuya immediately noted something off . He carefully moved the clock away .

A hidden pa.s.sageway .

. . . .

On his way down, he made sure to inform the others on his whereabouts and eventually he arrived at the end of the steps . The entire way down there was no shred of light, but that was fine with him . Rather than darkness, all he saw was the usual colors swirling around .

Unlike the door from earlier, Kazuya saw no signs of age or unnecessary decorations . Hesitantly he opened the doork.n.o.b and was greeted by an unexpected sight . He blinked a few times to make sure he was in the same place . Contrary to the irie pa.s.sageway one had to take to get here; the actual location was hardly scary . It looked like a mini forest, giant trees - not too overcrowded surrounded by different plants lined up together . Roses were growing on one side of the wall, decorated, so they are falling like waterfalls . A large cherry tree in the center bloomed beautifully, surrounded by many different flower bushes .

"Now then," Kazuya murmured .

This room should be the right place, though the place was pretty and he usually would take his time to look around . Kazuya didn't have the luxury to do so . But, maybe he can take Lyn back here another time . This is the type of place a girl like her will like . His lips curve to a smile as the image of the girl's face appeared in his mind .

Kazuya extended his hand out and brushed his hand against one of the cherry blossoms . He carefully plucks one that was falling out, just in case Lyn can't come here . Though he somehow managed to wager a deal with Queen Orthez regarding where she can and can't go . All of that comes with a price .

He exhaled deeply, f.u.kami and Rhys will scold him later when they find out what he did . But it would be difficult even for him to keep sneaking Lyn out . Besides sneaking her out is hardly what one would call safe . Even if he believes he can protect her, he's still just one person . There will come a time where there's a situation where he is backed into a corner . He may be reliable, but strength has its limits .

'Limits? What is that? If you want to protect someone important, then screw all limitations . '

Thinking about Rhys a frown appeared on his He hates to admit it, but that guy can probably protect her even if it was just him .
