13 Chapter 13: Trip To Kyoto (1/2)

Stepping out of the train at Kyoto station Alex looked around, ”Quite lively isn't it” Alex asked as he watched the crowd moving about. Aura standing by his side looked around curiously, nodding her head.

Exiting the station Alex stepped onto the streets of Kyoto, choosing a random direction he started walking. Aura quietly followed Alex, looking around with curious eyes. ”Where are we going, Master?” Aura asked not able to contain her curiosity anymore.

”To where my feet take me,” Alex said as he kept walking

...

Walking past numerous building Alex had a slight smile as he explored the city, he never stopped just kept walking while looking at the sights along the way. On multiple times Aura wanted to stop, but to her dismay, Alex just kept walking.

Alex finally stopped after the two entered a giant bamboo forest. He had moved off the designated path and found a little clearing within the bamboo forest, there he quietly lied down on the ground using his hands as pillows.

...

Aura had been watching Alex for the whole time since he exited the station, she had seen him walk randomly directions, she had seen him merely glance at the beautiful buildings and temple's and now she saw him lie down in the middle of a bamboo forest not uttering a word. Aura was beyond confused, she didn't understand what her master was doing, thou that was nothing new because most of the things he did had always escaped her sense, but this time was special because she was totally clueless, there was no hints or anything to explain what she could only call madness that had taken over her Master.

Still, deep in thought, Alex's voice drifted into her ears causing her to snap back in attention, ”Figured it out yet?” he asked not even making the effort to look at her as he took a deep breath through his nose and released it out his mouth. Aura watched on as he kept repeating this action.

Aura sat down by his side as she watched him closely, her Master was never one to make things easy on her, he would leave her to figure out most things by herself saying something like, ”You can't always depend on me” or ”There will come time's when I won't be there to help you, at which point you can only depend on yourself”, Aura understood this, of course, she had experienced such situations before but it didn't mean she liked what he was doing.

Calming her thought's Aura watched Alex closely, trying to figure out what his goal was why she was just lying there breathing in and out. She kept watching him looking as closely as possible for anything, but to her agony, she didn't find anything useful from his actions. This didn't mean she would give up, but it was a foreboding event that will cause her ahead ache to try to figure everything out.”

Aura was scratching her head while looking at Alex mumbling, ”Each breath is exactly the same as the last everything is exactly the same, but why?....”
