Rain Began to fall before Aiko and Miharu Left the forest. After the forest there was a long stretch of grassy land with a few dirt paths. They stayed close enough to the paths to follow and walked at a normal pace. The trip was short lived as because they soon neared a city. But when going towards the city a large carriage being pulled by two horses came rolling out. Miharu fell into pace behind Aiko and kept quiet but Aiko kept moving on not stopping for it but it stopping for him.
When the wagon stopped so did he. He looked up at the man steering the horses. The wagon master said nothing and didn’t even look his way but the carriage door opened and a man’s head appeared at the door. The new man said nothing either but it seemed he didn’t have too. Aiko’s blood started to flow more quickly and his heart beat increased. He was becoming angry by seeing this man.
The man’s face showed calmness and no concern for Aiko’s sudden growing animosity. He had black hair like Aiko’s but much shorter. It came to his ears and appeared in no real design. His eyes were also the same blue color as Aiko’s and his facial features had a small resemblance as well. But the man shut the door and the wagon master cracked the whip making the horses move.
In only a minute or so, Aiko had gone into a silent rage. The rain covered his body but he could feel heat rising from him as he perspired. One of his hands had unknowingly gone to the hilt of his katana and was gripping it tightly. He felt the urge to rush after the carriage and kill the man inside as well as anyone else who might be near the man. But as his thoughts became bloodier Miharu’s hand gripped his shoulder. He turned around to her worried face.
“Are you okay master? That man seemed to recognize you…” She sounded concerned and Aiko’s anger couldn’t overpower his emotions for that concern. He gave her a halfhearted smile and said “I’m fine… It’s nothing…” He looked back at the carriage which was still close enough for him to catch, “Let’s go… We should find shelter”
