Venture the woods to save life!

~*~

The last bell for the day rung throughout the corridor. Like a wave, students startes to crowd tha hallways of the building. A series of laughter echoed, sound of lockers opening and closing could be heard and hundreds of footsteps tapped the concrete floors. Students had also started to crowd the ground as they head out to go home.

Among the crowd of students rushing to get home, one person was just standing there. His youthful and beautiful face was looking ahead of him which made the girls that walked passed him giggle in happiness from seeing their crush.

Meanwhile, James was also walking out of the building when he saw a familliar silhoutte standing a few meters from him. James looked at him with a confused look and decided to approach this guy.

"Hey Hiro? What're you doing just standing around here?" James inquired as he slung his arms over Hiro's shoulder.

When these ladies walked passed by them, they immediately ran off screaming in happiness. James looked at those female students in confusion. 'What just happened? Did they eat something bad?'

Hiro was still planted on his spot on the ground like it was the most natural thing to do. Annoyed due from the lack of response, James playfully smiled and extended one of his index finger then licked it before inserting it inside Hiro's earlobe.

James could see how Hiro's hair on his skin rose in alarm which made him clutched his stomach and laughed.

"Oh my god! That was so gross!" Hiro yelled and went to fished his handkerchief from his pockets and angrily wiped his ear. "Fuck you James! Fuck you! You know I hate it when you do that!"

James was almost at his wits end from laughing. His voice was so loud that it made the other students started to raises their head to see what was going on. Chester and Maycee had just emerged from the building when they saw these two. Hiro was fuming in anger while James was almost about to die from laughing.

"Hey! hey! hey! What just happened? Are you having fun without us?"

Chester asked as he looked at James who was now on the ground laughing while clutching his stomach. Rage with anger, Hiro raised his hand and slapped Chester on the head.

"Having fun your ass! Go home you bastard!" Hiro yelled in anger.

He quickly walked away and went to the direction of the schools parking lot where Morel should be awaiting for him but when he got there, that familiar balck audi that he recognizes wasn't even in there.

"What the hell happened to Morel?" Hiro asked himself.

He quickly pulled his phone out from his pockets and turned around to make a phone call but suddenly, his phone dropped to ground with a loud thud. Hiro's eyes widened in surprise as he looked around.

The suppose to be ground where his school building stood was nowhere to be seen, it was replaced with tall skinned bamboo trees! He turmed around but there were all bamboo trees everywhere!

'What the fuck just happened?!' Hiro's brain begun to panic as he tried to assess the situation he was in. 'Did I became one of those X-Men people who knew teleportation? Fuck! I don't wanna be blue!'

The sound of footsteps sounded from different directions which made Hiro frantically looked around in panic. His eyes were as wide as saucers as he tried to find what was making that noise. The wind had also became strong making the bamboo leaves rustle, creating a sinister music playing along his ears. Hiro remembered he had a phone and quickly searched for it on the ground. When he managed to find it, he quickly dialed the emergency hotline.

"Fuck! help! Someone tried to kill or abduct me! Help! Help!" Hiro screamed over and over again but there was no response on the other line.

Hiro looked at his phone then smack it againts his hand to see if it was broken or not. Beads of sweat started to race down on his forehead as his hands started to shake. He dialed the emergency number again and gladly someone had managed to get in touch with him! 'Finally bitch! Come help me!'

"H-hello? Please help me..."

"Hiro... I'm go-"

Before the speaker on the other side could finished what he was about to say, Hiro had threw his phone back to the ground and stepped on it heavily. The voice sounded ghostly and spine chilling. Hiro might appear to be a scareless person because of his vile mouth but horror thingy are totally not his forte.

Hiro had decided to venture the woods to save his life! He dragged his shivering form into the thick forest of bamboo trees and begun searching for his way out. But after searching for how long, he felt like he was being put in a maze. Hiro stood up on his ground again observing his surroundings that he didn't even felt the presence of another being behind him. Before Hiro could react, his body lifelessly dropped to the ground. His vision soon turned black.

"Yes... I'm sorry my lord."

When Darius' was talking to someone, Hiro had managed to regain his consciousness. A light pain was bursting at the back of his head which made him cringed and clutch his head.

"Aww!"

"Young master?"

With a concerned voice, Darius slowly made his way unto Hiro's bed. Seeing that this young master of his wasn't feeling right just from the pained expression he had, Darius could guess that his head was hurting. He quickly grabbed the glass of water and some painkillers on the bedside drawer and handed it over to Hiro. Hiro, on the other hand was as stubborn a bull. He gave his butler a menacing glare.

"You... you know I don't take medicines!" Hiro gritted his teeth in anger.

"If you won't take it then you'll have to endure the pain for the next few minutes."

"Then let it be! Just get out of my room for while!" Hiro shouted.

Darius' concerned face was immediately replaced with a cold look. His hands that were reaching out to hand the medicines retracted. Hiro was now rocking back and forth on the bed from the pain. He felt like his brain was about to crack open from the pain he was feeling.

"Just leave me alone!" Hiro yelled again when he felt that the figure of this man hasn't move from his spot.

'Fuck! Did this man loose his ears already or is he just trying  to anger me to death!' Hiro scowled.
Suddenly, faint sounds of cracks could be heard which made Hiro frown in confusion. 'What was that sound?' Hiro asked himself. He slowly paid a glance at Darius' direction but was startled when a large hand landed on his mouth, squeezing it tight before a warm pair of lips landed right into his own.

'Fuuuuuck! Darius is raping meeee!! Daaaad! The butler you left with me raped your soooon!' Hiro was screaming in his head.

The bitter taste of medicine accompanied with water was being pushed into his mouth forcefully as Darius squeezed Hiro's mouth. Hiro tried to fight back but Darius was so strong that he was able to handle bothbof his hands and had subdue his legs from thrashing around.

When Hiro managed to drink all of those bitter medicines was Darius able to let go of him. Hiro coughed up and wanted to vomit the medicine but cannot. Darius gave him a glass of water and he quickly took it, engulfing a couple of mouthfuls to erase the bitter taste of medicine that lingered around the inside of his mouth. Hiro was trying to catch his breath and with a menacing glare directed to Darius he shouted.

"Get out of my face you fucking piece of shit!"

Darius was startled and hurt but he didn't show it outside his firm and stoic face. He casually grabbed the glass of water by the bedside drawer and left without a single glance. Hiro looked at Darius' retreating back with a glare that if it could stab Darius, he would have been dead before he could set his foot outside his room.

The door closed which left Hiro in a quiet state. He heaved a sigh of relief and decided to lay back down on his bed. What had happened to him left his mind in confusion. He swear he was standing by the school parking lot but suddenly, he seemed to be teleported to another place. The more Hiro think, the more his head would ache. So he shook those questions and simply closed his eyes to sleep.

He didn't need to worry, at least he was back alive and unscathed, nothing more.

Darius was standing by the window of his quarters. It was already twelve in the evening and the outside world was already covered in darkness. The heavy downpour of the rain covered the earth and the sound of it was like a lullaby to sleep.

"I had to do that my lord... I didn't mean to harrass him."

"I understand your reason Darius. You don't have to apologize."

Darius was silent for awhile before he lifted his head to look out the darkness outside.

"So the portal had started to open?"

"Yes... and I want you to look out for him in every way possible. He can't come here yet."

"Is it still not finished?" Darius questioned with a tired voice.

"The King is doing his best to finish the job. Hopefully it would be done by the time he finds the portal."

Darius heaved a tired sigh. "I hope so. I can't stay here a little longer or else His Majesty's power will grow more weaker as time passes by. Please help him in any way possible My Lord."

"Yes Darius, your brother will be fine. I can assure you that."

Darius and that voice kept on talking for another minute before they decided to cut off the conversation for the cost of energy being used is too great. Darius sat down on his bed with a tired sigh. Clearly, Darius was like an alien. He came from another world sent out by their King to look out for someone, and that is Hiro.

Instead of helping his brother in eradicating the threats in their own world, there was no other option for him to do but to babysit Hiro.

At first, he couldn't understand why his brother had developed an affection with this man known as the executioner in their world, but later on he realized why after he witnessed the great war that took place centuries ago.

He could vividly remember the words that those lips of his muttered despite the hopelessness they were facing. With a smile, he said...

"I guess I have to save the world and execute those bastards who tries to ruin our home."
