Jenrya's POV:

The streets were crowded when we reached the city. I tried to keep my eyes on Ruki, but I always seemed to lose her. She found me though each time, a smirk on her face. Finally, she just grabbed my arm and dragged me along. I could feel people watching us. Why, I didn't know. Our clothes fit in, the city was huge so we couldn't look like outsiders, but we did. One boy actually yelled when we past. He clung to his mother, who let out a scream.

"Makino, go over there."

I pointed to an alley way. We made our way over and faced each other.

"What is it Lee?"

"Haven't you noticed? The people here seem scared of us!"

Her violet eyes gazed out over the crowds. I could tell she knew I was right.

"Why?" she asked. "We don't even know where we are! How can they know us?" Her voice was full of rage. She waved her hand around swearing heavily. I put my hands on her shoulders.

"Calm down. Getting angry isn't going to help. We need to find someone to talk to. Someone to tell us why we're here, and why people are scared."

Ruki shrugged off my hands in annoyance. "I thought I told you not to touch me?"

I bit my tongue to keep from replying. She let out an irratated sigh.

"Come on Lee. Let's go find us a 'friend'."

Once more she grabbed my arm and dragged me through the crowds. There had to be someone who would talk to us! And sure enough there was.

"Makino, there."

Ruki's eyes flickered to where I was pointing. Our 'friend' from before stood there, grinning. Ruki's grip tightened on my arm. I tried not to wince.

"Well, look who I found." The boy sneered, coming to a stop in front of us.

"What do you want?!" Ruki demanded.

"I bet you and your little boyfriend here have some questions, right? Like why everyone's terrified of you?"

We gaped at him.

"First of all," I said as calmly as possible. "I'm not her boyfriend. Yes, we do have questions and I'll start with. . ."

"WHO ARE YOU?!" Ruki screeched.

"Exactly what I want to know." I finished.

"Come to my house. We can talk there, lovebirds."

Ruki's nails dug into my arm as she followed the stranger through the streets. His house was a small building in the center of the city. It was simply furnished and seemed empty of other people. He led us inside and had us sit at a round table.

"Call me Kaze lovebirds." The boy said.

Ruki glared. "Stop calling us that."

"Kaze?" I questioned, ignoring Ruki's rudness. "Why are people scared of us?"

He leaned back thoughtfully for a few minutes. "Because, you are the ones."

"The ones?" Ruki and I echoed blankly.

"The ones." Kaze confirmed.

"What does that mean?!" demanded Ruki.

"You're chosen. I can't tell you much more. But, lovebirds, head my warning. Learn to work together or else."

I stood up. "Or else what? Are you threatening us?"

Kaze looked at me. He had deep green eyes, which seemed full of sorrow.

"No, but others will. Jenrya Lee, Ruki Makino, be on guard."

I felt a chill pass through me. Be on guard, work together. That's what Kaze wanted us to do. I glanced over at Ruki. Her lips were pressed together. She didn't appear to be thrilled about Kaze's instructions.

"Can you prepare us?" I asked.

Kaze nodded. "I can give you food and blankets. Also, I give you this advice. Stay out of cities and keep to the mountains. They won't find you there." He handed over two bags. "Go now, and be careful. We will meet again."

When Ruki and I were back in the streets she turned to me.

"You don't actually buy all that do you?"

"I don't know. We're totally lost Ruki, we need to take whatever advice we can get."

Her eyes widened slightly. I realized why. Never before had I called her Ruki.

"The mountains are that way." I said quickly, feeling uncomfortable.

She gave a nod and we walked in silence again.

Be on guard, work together.

Kaze's words rang through my mind. What was going to happen? Who wanted to find us? I hated not knowing the answers. My gaze returned to the girl ahead of me and for once I was glad she was with me. Ruki was a fighter, we'd get home. Eventually.



A/N: sorry if that was really boring! I'm trying to get some sort of action in this story, really. Thanks again for reviewing. Ja!
