16 Part 11: In the depths of his right eye ... I saw a bakemono ! (1/2)

The two left the town … and Maya was carrying a lot of bags after the residents of the town honored them for what koja did for their sake !

Maya was so happy about that … she was so happy for what koja did … but not as the town's inhabitants of course who have suffered for a long time … they finally can back to their old life...

” Oh ! look how much of bags we have got? I can make many kinds of foods with this ! ”

With a cold tone:

” Shut up … who told you that you can get into my house again? You said you had come to treat my injuries ... I look better now so you can return from where you came ”

” Mo~ Why did you suddenly become angry? you are really moody - with a smile - you just saved a whole town by your self ! so try to be happy~~ be happy~~ ”

After the two were walking taking that forest road that takes to koja's house !

Suddenly koja…

Stopped walking … then he turned around to look at Maya's face and said:

” This is enough ! What I did would be done by anyone belongs to the special organization… ”

Then … he pressed his fist … as if he felt kind of deep anger.

” The real me…. Would kill Adar …. and.... why you are acting like that? You belong to the criminals' hunters corps ... you are supposed to be a member of the extremists ”

..!!

Those words that koja just say … he had not to say them...

Some words that are said unintentionally ... or even purposefully ... may sometimes be offensive…

And Koja's sudden emotion ... made him say some words affected negatively on Maya .... and made her want to show to Koja how wrong he was in what he tried to say…

*Steps …. Steps *

And after she stepped some steps toward koja … and after she let the bags that she was carrying fell down in the ground…

” So why you are acting like you are happy for the inhabitants of the town? Whatever what you are planning to do I will.......! ”

..

*Slap*

..

..

..

..!!

That was a sound of a strong slap…

After she felt anger … after Maya got so angry…

With a serious and upset face, she broke the silence and said:

” Is that all that you can say? Is that all that you can think about? Why you are always seeing things from one side? Did you ever think that …. That the organization is wrong on what it is doing? Did you ever try to see things from this perspective? ”

With wide eyes….

” The organization … might be wrong? ”

( this is really delightful …. To see the kind of person like you in the organization ! I know that I can't say this but ... the organization was always doing bad things to the citizens )

With a very loud voice…

Koja … couldn't say anything … he didn't know what to say ! all he could do was … stare at Maya with wide eyes … and with confusion looks….

He made a silence … a silence after Maya was waiting for his answer … after Maya was waiting for his reply with an angry face … but even though … that made her look cute as usual ! yes, there is nothing cute as her angry face for sure !

..

..

” D-Do … whatever you want ! It's not like I care … me too … I will show you how wrong you are ”

” Okey … deal ! ”

An answer like this from koja … made Maya kind of happy deep inside … even she tried to hide that in a moment like this….

But this is really how she felt !

A new achievement by this Baka girl...!?

I can change this person since he gave me a chance ! No, this person is just lost … so I just have to show him the right path…

So this the new goal of Maya…!!

Right?

Suddenly … after the two returned to walk again … they felt a strong presence on the left side ! From the side that overlooked a vast forest !

Without turning their necks to the side where they felt that ! koja first said with himself:

” This presence ! someone is following us? At exactly seven o'clock ”

Then Maya said:

” This presence I just felt … it must be a fighter presence ! someone is spying on us .. my intuition makes no mistakes ”

Without making the presence-owner feel any doubt ... Koja turned towards Maya ... then he made a sign to her with his head … and Maya understood what koja was trying to do !

” Hey ! you … didn't we forget to buy the bandages? We have come all this way to buy medical equipment ... and we forget about them after all ! ”

” A-Ah you mean medical bandages? yes yes, you are right ! do you want me to back to the town so I can get some of them? ”

” Okey … I will back alone then … ”

Then the two start walking in reverse ways….

Fx: Slow Motion

And after

1…

2…

3…

Koja screamed...…!!!

” Now !!!!!! ”

Suddenly …. The two ran with a super high speed !! after they made a large distance between them … of course they did that ... so they can besiege the presence-owner !

And after a long chase ... Maya glimpsed a shadow of someone ... so she knew that her intuition was in Its place...

” I knew it …. Hey you ! just stop there ! you have no place you can escape to ! You are completely besieged  ”

..

..

..!!

Maya was right … this person has nowhere to escape … especially that the road was blocked by an abyss its down is a river…

Until that moment came…

” K-Kuso … an … Impasse? ”

..

..

” Ha ! I told you … konayaro !! who sent you to us? Why you were following us? ”

” W-What is this? ” said koja…

After … he found that the look of presence-owner was kind of weird…!!

He was covered with medical bandages … he looked exactly like a mummy ! koja didn't understand what was going on with that person … but of course, he didn't care about that at a time like that … he just wanted to know why that person was following them..!

So he moved forward … koja moved some steps toward the mummy guy … and with cold looks he said :

” Who sent you to me? ”

Suddenly Maya stepped some steps too…

” Or maybe they sent you to me? Are you from the organization? ”

Koja said with himself:

” I-Its right … this girl is the naitkor … could it be that this person is from…! If that's what is going on here … I would be in real trouble if I let him run away ! the organization will not tolerate me ... if it knows that I was hanging out with an important member of the criminals' hunters forces and if we talk about that … This person's presence is not strange to me … but for some reason, I couldn't recognize it !! no … I can tell that I never saw a sharp presence like this before … but why I feel like I know its owner? ”

After the spy turned to all directions and knew that there was no place to escape ... he replied Koja saying:

” Do I have to answer you? ”

Koja said with confident tone:

” So I am your target here ! although I cannot be sure of that through the reaction of your face ( he meant that even the spy's face was covered with medical bandages ) ... but since you meant me in your words ... that means I'm your target here ... isn't it?

After a silence … the spy laughed then said with himself:

” As always, as always … this guy can adapt to things around him very fast… ”

The mummy guy felt a kind of nervous ! so he stepped two steps backward … and once he did that ... in less than a second … Koja blew the raym randomly … and that made a  very intense pressure…

” I'm not laughing here … don't do any strange move … if you want to keep your life ! now tell me … who sent you to me? And.... do I know you before? ”

” Kuso … I'm in trouble … I didn't expect that this person can sense the presence of my new energy … No, I was the one who was so neglected ... I did not think that my new energy's presence would mature this fast ! W-What should I do now? As my energy growth is not yet complete ... I cannot blow up the raym ! ” said the spy with himself in nervous

Koja turned around toward Maya...

With those scary looks … as if he wanted to warn her…

” You there ! stay away … you will see my serious side now ! ”

...….!!!!

” This my chance !!! ”

Suddenly the spy took advantage of Koja's oversight for a moment … and took out a small whistle that he was hiding ... it was a bit like a dog whistle !

Then he blew on it….

Even he did that but no sounds came out of it…

Yes, even though we as humans cannot hear anything can come out from that whistle … but the worst animals of the forest can hear it clearly … as if it had been made specifically to provoke them…

In less than two seconds….

*Heavy steps … Heavy steps *

The forest started to shake under the feet of Koja and Maya … as if something was getting close…
