Episode Two

He’s crazy!! Imagine living here with zombies and the undead, then soon die as one because of no food!! I haven’t eaten anything!! The one golden rule, FOOD!! Clenching her teeth together, with this angry expression; “I don’t like you!! Remember the golden rule--!!” Zhu shouts with raging fire throughout her turquoise eyes and the background itself. Sudden scent was flowing around, ceremonial sensation that was so poisonous sort. What’s going on? I feel so dizzy.. like I’m going to faint.. She was wavering; in the intension of death, the hesitation of fate’s choice. “Yun.. what’s.. going.. on..?” Zhu lightly coughs, her eyes were beginning to close. What is going to happen to me?

“Ceremony, royal family, someone died recently.” Yun whispers, then looks towards Zhu, she was turning pale and quite whitish. His heart was shot, beaten littler and littler. Such shock was some confusion to him, but he was resisting enough to save Zhu. Rapidly rushes towards her, then having Zhu into his grasp; hastily kisses her lips and forcing the mouth of hers to widen. His heart rate slows down, breathing normally into hers. Yun..? Is he saving me..? Gradually parting away, from their savior’s kiss, his eyes were offended and nervously sadness filling the emptiness of the offense. “Shall I must, breathe slowly, the poison will disappear soon in some long minutes.” Yun mentions before he went towards course, then turns his neck, giving some glimpse once more. “Please, don’t die Zhu.”

Yun was showing some expression; sadness was covering his feelings, which she couldn’t tell. Zhu’s eyes widen, she was going to have more fits than ever! How’s dare he say that! He thinks there’s a chance I’ll die?! He’s stupid! Constant fitting and angriness she was having, became the worst nightmare. Lacking much oxygen, she must’ve breathe too much poison at once. With watery eyes, coughing and suffocating in combination; Zhu was needing something to cure herself before she becomes more reckless, then near death. This poison is.. spellbound? Or normal? Maybe handmade? Zhu was trembling with frighten fingers, the poison was handmade of course.

“Toy flower.. they’re rare.. only exists.. in deep.. caves and.. blooms when.. moon arrives..” There was a blue moon today, meaning there must be some flowers here. Somewhere. She could establish this, preventing her early grave as well. Covering her mouth shut, preventing too much poison coming in and the coughing she had been having. Slowly, shiftily and swiftly walking in sneaky form, Zhu’s eyes were viewing her range. Traditional happening was going on the center of the undead village of royalty, look from right to left, and there lies her cure. The toy flower was white, puffy, dust-like appearance plant; the stem was lightly green with a few leaves sticking out in such magical way. Toy flower right next to Yuu House, I’m safe, Yun’s house is covering my steal. Just three feet away!

Yuu House was recognizable, since there were such fancy wooden board with golden writing with their surnames, but quite filthy and ancient that usually harder to examine. Yun’s house did not have such fancy wooden board with golden writing, there was pieces everywhere of it around the house now that she taken notice of it. Although her thoughts went right back towards the toy flower, she was hungering over such object. Her first expression was cheeriness and happiness, she quickly dashes away to obtain the toy flower. “Tada! Huh?” The toy flower, settle in position in some old wooden bowl with poor soil and dirty water. “Manage to stay alive, such bravery and faith. I have to do the same too, but it won’t hurt okay?” Zhu’s fingers were wrapping tightly with steady movement, when she reaches back to home-base there was chanting heard.

Zhu slips back into Yun’s house, settling the plant onto the wooden plank and lastly figuring what her sisters said. They said that curing poison is different for everyone, but for handmade is usually to smell until the coughing was over. Zhu grew near, nearer to the nearest to breathe much. The fragrance was fresh, romantic sort feeling. Inside, her heart was no longer contain by poison, the airways were clear and the coughing finally stop. Soon the poison spreading was over, while Zhu lay on the uncomfortable bed in silence. She was continual thinking about the past, before everything gone insane, worst and odd. I wonder what they’re doing? Maybe they’re looking for me? But they can’t be, they have jobs to do than look for me. The squads with army and the usually experimenting---

“Zhu.. Zhu’s well, I’m glad.” His voice, it was Yun’s and her attention was focusing on him. He’s glad I’m alive? You said I could’ve died you--!!! Zhu’s expressions were shyness, angriness to curious. “Emperor Jun, my father was the dead man. Crestfallen too, he’ll be reborn and live here, being undead like us.” Yun said, being reckless now. He was tripping, crashing and with no expression. Soon he was crashing into Zhu, both of them were on the bed now with nothing to be said. “Sorry.. I.. I..” He was wearing such sheepish face, Zhu was blushing quite a bit too. Emperor Jun, Shen Jun? Yun, Shen Yun? Yun’s a prince! She was flushing so deeply, redden like blood that she scampers away from him. I was planning to take Emperor Shen Jun’s son with me?! That’s like kidnapping! Yun was eyeing Zhu, being quite enlighten again with her constant feverishly reactions and blushing was cuteness of Zhu. “I am glad to be with Zhu, she’s very cute.”

“WHA!!” Zhu was blushing redder, she was taking too much doses of his. He said I was cute!? This is cruel!! The milky quartz lantern stood upon the wooden plank along with the toy flower, suddenly her thoughts clashes with Zhu. Gates Of Kaijitsu! Must go there! Aethelthryth! “Yun! Let’s get out of here! We have to go to the Gates Of Kaijitsu!” Zhu exclaims, but although Yun sensitize her with his reaction; his expression, filling up with this unknown vibe, shielding him from showing the true feelings. “Yun? What’s wrong? Don’t you want to get out of here?” Both of them were glancing upwards the ceiling, which was either thatch or fancy stone pattern. Absolutely something was wrong, peculiarly his world was dripping away somewhere else.

“Zhu.. only needed items are required, indeed I want to go, but only during the revival of Emperor Jun‘s.” Zhu instinctively smiles, while starting to repack the requiring supplies, the handsome undead boy was gathering her packing. Yun.. he’s acting sort of strange, yet still happy? Similarly panicking inside, the two were shilly-shally at first, but somehow regain courage to walk further. We’re going home, back home to Aethelthryth.. Yun was lifeless when getting out of the undead village, Zhu finally taken sight that Yun was enable to float and touches the dirty ground up and down. He was holding her right hand, leading farther and darker into the two-pathways. Here again, we really need light! Yun’s left hand was tightening her right hand, his right hand slips into his funeral clothes and brought out this bright, fire feather that lighten like glow. “Your lantern please, Zhu.”

Her left hand swings the lantern into his right hand, both the lantern and fire feather was in Yun’s hands; releasing grips from each other, he was managing and dealing with lightening the lantern. Yun left the needed items onto the ground, which reactively Zhu went to gather them. He could’ve hand me the stuff instead dropping them there! Both companions were handling their own business, something filthy, disgusting scent was filling into range. When Yun had the milky quartz lantern lit; there, was this handsome, lofty devil with demon sort bat wings behind Zhu. His shoulder-length raven hair was quite glossy, blood red eyes with tinting blackness was mentally dangerous towards Zhu. What do we do!? He’s good-looking, cool and all, but will he attack us!? The monster, demon sort appearing with white snow skin, his left hand was holding such devilish mask along with clothing that clothes his bottom part of the body.

“Zhu! Run to the Gates Of Kaijitsu!” Yun shouts his commands, she fastens her grip with their bags and slide under the creature of hell. Hellishly the demon was smirking, then turns facing the girl, running with after the almighty doors to freedom. “Zhu’s mine!” Handsome young, undead, boy who yells from behind the demon with secretly stabbing with his unknown blade that he wield out. Demon left with chuckles, moving forward with his mask rising towards his face. The creature with hellish personality, appearance and sounds budges Yun’s weapon out of the wound. Then flapping the demon’s wings, such monster flies away towards Zhu. Everything was dark, nothing was normal or safe. Finally the demon snatches the arms around her into the demon’s grasp. Yun?! Help!! What’s going on!?

“Virginity already taken. Need sadness, inexperience and early memories, good ones.” the demon mutters, he face was caressing the neck, face and hair of Zhu’s. Searching for her lips, she wasn’t struggling or afraid of such creature. She was demanding for his name in whispering tone, he answers back, “Loki, had me named by master.” and was drawn to her voice, then finally found her lips. My virginity was taken already? Why does he need my sadness, inexperience and early memories? The good ones too? Confusion, yet the embracement was taking Zhu’s mind completely. Loki, the demon, such creature, damn monster was making such sucking ability that was stealing the parts of her, he said. Where’s Yun? I don’t feel sad, worry or scare. What’s wrong with me? Loki was finishing off the last vitalizing. Zhu was growing weaken, trusting such beast with her missing parts.

“What are you going to do with me?” Zhu curiously asks, although she saw a glistening coming closer. Loki whispers back, that he has nothing else from her that was required. So I’m wasted? Loki---! Impulsive event, Yun was there with the milky quartz lantern with such huge anger rising. “Yun! I’m okay!” Apparently, Yun was already rushing towards Loki, ready to thrust the blade into Loki when the demon vanishes into thin air while dropping Zhu down. She quickly pulls out some wooden chopping board and protects herself from getting slice from Yun’s attack during the fall. The clasp was something, but everything was calming down. They both were silent towards each other, Zhu was having that sheepish grin again. “Loki, the demon, he didn’t do anything.”

“But.. Zhu.. you’re lying..” Yun said with sadness toning through, she was staring beneath herself. Yun.. His right hand was reach for Zhu’s left hand, in notice she realizes that she was still sitting upon the ground with the chop up wooden chopping board. “Zhu.. very strong and good. Zhu never lies, she knows what best..” He was letting out some smile while Zhu fingers were crawling into his hand’s grasp. Holding hands, we’re like connected, such happy feeling.. just like being with.. Her thought was never finish; Yun pulls her from the dirty floor and escort away towards the Gates Of Kaijitsu which supposedly close. Hand to hand, nothing was more relaxing. But she was more focus about Loki, his words, his reasons and why. I don’t understand him, what possibly he would need my sadness, inexperience and.. my good early memories?

Loki, I’ll meet him again, I’m sure of it.. Lurking of the evilness of Loki’s, were eating her thoughts. Soon though, the Gates Of Kaijitsu was right in front of them. This, this is the Gates Of Kaijitsu, I can return home again! Both of their eyes widen, turquoise and aquamarine were too shock to blink. “Wow, I’ve been here for at least two years and I can’t believe I didn’t take the chances earlier!” Yun exclaims, the hands were tighten, being squeeze very hard that encourages Zhu; pushing her way into the new world, away from the darken hells and the losses, soon to be regain once more. I can’t wait to see my sisters, Yun will be with me too. I won’t be scare, I won’t have to worry, I’ll be proud and do my best. That’s all I can do for now. Please, sisters, be alright, I’m coming home.
