Chapter 4:Red The Bandit
Back in Japan,Yanagi settled into the guest room.
"I'm sorry but what is your name again?"Kurisu asked.
"Yanagi."
"Would you like something to eat?"
"Some tea please. Oh also get me a piece of chocolate cake."She said.
"No problem,wait here for 10 minutes while I get you your tea and your chocolate cake."Kurisu left the building to go down to get some cake.
Yanagi stood up and wandered into another room.It was Kurisu's bedroom.The room was quite dull,not many colors.
It had a wooden table with all sorts of patterns and fancy chairs.
There was a bed with a green cover on top of it and a desk of draws.
On the desk was a picture of his family.Yanagi shredded a tear then placed the picture down.
Meanwhile,Irai and Aizakku were bonding with eachother.
They went to see a shakespeare play,they went to the park,played tennis,had some ice cream and got to know each other very well.
After all of those activities,the two were sitting on a bench outside the park.
"What a day,am I right?"Aizakku said in a tired tone.
"Yes,we've had a fantastic day,what do we do now?"
"We could go buy a book at the local library just 2 minutes away from here."
"Yes,that would be a good way to end the day."Irai stood up and stretched his body.
Aizakku stood up with him and the two strolled down to their destination.Aizakku led the way into the building.As the two walked in,they could see the shop owner waving to them,
"It's nice to see you again, Aizakku.How have you been?"The shop owner asked.
"I've been fine,how about you?"
"I'm doing fine as well,who is this young man?"
"Irai,this is my friend Debiddo."Hello,Debiddo."
"Hello Irai,what brings you two here today?"
"I'd like to buy my nephew a book."Aizakku replied
"Which one?"Debiddo took out a pen and paper.
"Any of the fantasy books."
Debiddo looked down at the list of books people have bought.
"I'm afraid fantasy books are not in stock anymore."
"Since when?!"
"Well fantasy books are really popular so when they went on sale 3 weeks ago,everybody collected one in 2 days.
"That's crazy."Irai said.
"We'll have a look around,thanks for your help."
Aizakku turned around and looked at everyone in the other sections.
"Here's an interesting one."
"What is it called?"Just as Aizakku was about to say the name of the book,a loud BANG went off near the bank.
"What the hell was that?"Debiddo looked confused,he went up to the doors of the library and opened them.Irai and Aizakku rushed to join him.Ash covered the bank on the outside.
A small fire could be smelt from the distance.
"Debbido,stay right here with Irai,something is not right."And off he went.A silhouette could be seen coming out of the smoke.A bandit came out.
He was wearing all black with a hood and a cloak along with red stripes around his body.The bandit looked up at Aizakku slowly.
"Who are you supposed to be?"Aizakku smirked.
"I am,wait…you don't know who I am?"
"I have never seen you in my life."
"I am…Red."
"That isn't a good name."
"No,it's-"
Aizakku stopped him from talking by throwing an ice shard towards him,creating him to have a bruise on his face.
"Ice wielding..interesting.."He muttered under his warm breath.
"You don't look so tough now do you?"Aizakku walked up to Red,just as he was about to pick him up,Red pull out a pair of katanas,clashing them into Aizakku's fist.
Red pushed him back and quickly got up,dashing towards him,using the swords.
"You think some swords can beat me?"
"We will see."With only a small cut,Aizakku blocked his attack,punching him at full speed.
Red kept getting beat down left and right.Aizzaku then kicked him in the stomach and sent him flying to land with a broken arm.
"OUCH!"CRACK.Red grunted,he used his counter with his sword to prevent being damaged more use.
Metal clashes constantly swung at each other.Red jumped back and clutched his chest desperately. He was literally fighting for his life.
"Listen listen,I'm poor which is the only reason why I was robbing this bank."
"That's still no good reason to steal, is it?"Aizakku rushed towards Red,uppercutting him.He fell to the ground,as if he was dead.The police had just arrived and jumped off their horses.
They arrived at the scene to see the beaten up bandit.Chief Lenny,head of the police inspected the state of Red careful.
They were a bit shocked but couldn't disrespect upper royals,let alone the emperor that created the land they're living on.
"We're going to put some bandages around the parts where he is hurt so he doesn't die."
Aizakku started walking back to Irai and Debiddo.Red shouted across the street.
"I'LL GET YOU BACK FOR THIS JUST YOU WAIT!IF I FAIL ONCE I'LL TRY AGAIN.I'LL GIVE YOU A MEMORY YOU'LL NEVER FORGET AIZAKKU!MARK MY WORDS!"
"Come on Irai,let's go look at the book I was
talking to you about it."
"Alright then!"The two wandered back into the library.
"So,what book was it again?"
"The Secrets of the World."
"Well alright,I will give it a try."
Irai ran back up to the counter to purchase the book.
"Hello again,have you found a book you would like to buy?"
"Yes,The Secrets of the World"
"Alright,let me just write it down…"While they were waiting,Kurisu came into the library.
"I've been looking for you two."
"Hello Father,I'm just buying a book with Uncle."
"We're leaving soon to go back to the palace in 20 minutes,say goodbye to your Cousin and Uncle and be quick with the book."Kurisu then left after saying that.
"OK."Irai shouted.
"600 shillings please,"Debbido stated.
"Here you go."
Aizakku gave him the money.
"That's everything,have a good day!"
"You too Debbido."Aizakku exclaimed.The two left."Well,let's open the book."Irai said
"I suppose so."
Aizakku replied.
Irai opened the book to see some unusual things.There were these weird symbols and pictures.Below them was fancy handwriting.
"This looks weird."Irai stared at the book,flipping through the pages.
"Let me see this."Aizakku said,Irai gave the book to Aizakku and he turned through the pages.
"Oh,this isn't an ordinary book."
"Then what is it?"
"This is a way to get all the power in the world.We need to hide this."
Rida crossed over the fence to get to the other side.Beyond the fence was an ocean that stretched to Japan.
"I'm getting closer and closer each mile I saunter."Rida muttered.He was right at the edge of South Korea,all he had to do was swim.
Halting to be prepared for the sea,Rida jumped into the water,swimming with all his might.
Below him,were fishes and sea animals of all kinds.The coral beneath had beautiful colours as well.Whales screamed as Orca's bit into their flesh.
The wind started to get intense.Dirt started to cover Rida's vision.
"Oh god,why does this have to happen now?"Drops of water turned into rain which resulted to hailing.Annoyed,Rida picked up the pace and swam faster and faster.
The weather got worse and worse.The hail felt like stones.The shallow water went frozen cold.Rida kept on swimming despite the terrible temperatures.
Four men were on a small wooden boat.They looked american and not asian.The men were all finely dressed,each one wearing a suit with a bow tie and a hat.
All of the men looked at Rida as he stared at them.He kept on swimming.
As Rida went by them,the men strangely nodded at each other and attempted to throw a net a Rida.
Unfortunately,(for them)they missed.Rida stopped swimming and turned around slowly.
"Start rowing,START ROWING."All of the men looked frightened,they picked up their paddles and rowed away.
Rida followed them at insane speed,eventually he caught up to them.Rida jumped on the boat,throwing each of the men off.
"Hey,hey,that's government property,you can't steal our-"He smashed a bottle of wine(which he found in the boat)into the man's face.Glass shattered all over his body.
He started bleeding in many places.The other men swam away,fearing the same would happen.
Rida then grabbed the man by the neck,bashing him repeatedly into the side of the boat,causing his neck to obtain splinters.
"You go back to where you came from and forget anything happened,tell whoever you serve,you are lucky I let you live."
Rida released his grip and the man swam away without turning back.Rida took the paddles and started paddling to Japan.
