Chương 3: Encounter

"What happened.. How did everything get this way?" Haruki frowns, "They made everything my fault. Is this my fault too?" He looks at the sky, "I'll pack everything I need then leave. I think it's for the best." He starts to walk away.

Haruki packs everything that is necessary to take from his home, then walks on his journey...

He walks down the mountain and through trails with beautiful flowers and big trees. The scent of fresh air fill his lungs. The sense of peace, but exhaustion hit him all at once.

*Sun beaming* "It is a beautiful day today." Haruki smiles wide while looking up.

"Maybe I should take a break, I am exhausted..." Haruki slows down and finds a place to rest and put his things down.

*Sighs* "This is the best, I get to travel and see new things. I wonder what I will come across."

Suddenly his peace gets disrupted.

*Woman screaming* "AHH! SOMEONE HELP ME! PLEASE HELP ME!"

Haruki rushes to find the woman, "I'M HERE!" Haruki yells with his deep husky yet gentle voice.

The woman gets a glimpse of Haruki running to her, she becomes speechless. A man with white and slightly yellow hair, light grey deep eyes, and pure pale light skin. such beautiful skin you think it could break by touching it. Yet muscular 'Just my type.' She thinks to herself.

"Are you okay? Let me help you." Haruki lifts her out of the steel trap, then breaks the metal that is clinging on to her leg. "It's okay to be afraid, but I won't hurt you, I promise."

As Haruki is speaking, she is in bliss. 'Wow please take care of me anytime.' She thinks while smirking.

Haruki looks at her with a pure bright smile, "It's okay, I will treat you." Haruki takes out bandages and starts to clean her wound. 'I wonder how she can smile at a time like this?' Haruki thinks with a concerned look.

"I haven't seen you before. Are you new to town?" She says.

"No I lived on the mountain, but my village was burnt when I was 'busy'. It seems everyone is gone where I used to live. I am on a journey now to find a new home. I know I will find it when I feel it." Haruki smiles. 'I'm glad shes not in much pain anymore.' he sighs in relief.

She looks at him with sorrow, "Oh.. I'm sorry to hear that. Everything will get better soon. I trust that for you."

"Thank you." Haruki nods.

Once Haruki finished he stood up, "Let me help you up." He gently touches her waist as he lifts her to stand.

"I'm not gonna break you know. You don't have to be so gentle." She scoffs.

"I'm used to being gentle, It's not in my nature to be rough." He smiles at her.

"I'm okay now, I'm sorry if I disturbed you." The woman looks worried.

"It's okay, you didn't do anything wrong. I'm just glad I came in time. If I came any sooner you wouldn't have made it." Haruki smiles at her with a gentle smile.

He starts walking away slowly, "I don't know what the future brings, but I hope I will see you again one day. Goodbye!" He waves

"I hope we do. Goodbye!" She smiles wide while waving back. 'I pray the future will give you lucky honey.'

Haruki then walks back to his things, "Finally I can rest.." He lays down on the grass as the wind is going through his hair, *sigh* "So relaxing."
