Chapter 23 - Finding Kagura (1/2)

Later at night they stopped to rest but they still didn't find Kagura. Jin hunted food for the children and let them rest. Before they leave the village Jin, Erza, and Simon picked up some extra clothes in the houses for the children to use. Of course let them carry it. All the things they need were carried by children. Jin doesn't to carry a bunch of objects.

Jin stood up after the children fell asleep.

He looked back and thought, 'I'm pretty sure Kagura is in this area. She wouldn't be able to leave this place in just a day or two.'

He started running around the forest searching for Kagura. In the entire night all he did was to find clues about her whereabouts. Of course he did find some clues but the sun will soon rise.

He hunted some food and went back to the children. He cook the meat and woke them up. After they finished eating their breakfast he lead them to where he found the clues.

'We're getting near' Jin thought.

After a few more hours Jin heard a young girl's scream. He looked over and immediately dashed towards that direction.

He saw a lion was chasing after a purple haired girl.

'That's her' Jin thought as he increased his speed and took out the Organon.

”Help me!!” Kagura shouted as she run as fast as she could.

She suddenly heard the wail of the lion that was chasing her. She felt that the lion stopped chasing and she also stopped on her tracks. She slowly turned around and the lion was cut in half beside the body of the lion was a black haired young boy looking at her with a smile on his face.

Jin looked at the pitiful appearance of Kagura. There's many bruise around her body and she's thin. It's obviously that she didn't eat in these two days.

Jin smile at her and asked, ”Are you Kagura-chan?” He slowly walked towards her.

”W-who are you?” Kagura asked as she became nervous. She didn't know this boy but he know her.

”Your Brother Simon and Sister-in-l... Ahem.. Sister Erza is looking for you” Jin said while maintaining the smile on his face.

”Really?” Kagura lowered her guard when she heard this.
