By the night wraps
And the sun drowns

The Queen and the King argues
Light flickering by the bays

Baby laying upon the silk space
Crying slowly with deafening screeches
Purple tints wetting the blanket of tears

Throw the baby

Or let Kouka fell

To the deathly sea of crawling dissapointment.

THROW HER!

Hana felt a slight buzz budging her throtting vague dream.Blurs taking over her mind--retaking the dream realm as she started feeling her hands.

What caught her first was the sound of nature , drizzle of the wild river ,noises of wood cracks , birds flying around right in the corner , vague activities outside--and a snore.

Two snores.

Hana started recovering back from thr fremland , black vision fading to a warmth orange as the first thing she saw was the tent , which is a good news too.

Second , is the enveloping strange warmth on her right side , and a vague warmth encircling with her left arm.

Took her a few seconds to turn to her sides , breath hitched as the green haired flirt sticked to her right side , arms around her shoulders--fingers meeting on the left side of her shoulder.

While to the left side , the oh so tsundere white head's arms tangled around her left arm , pressed to his torso loosely.

Hana carefully pulled her arm away from Kija's grip as well slipped away from Jaeha's embrace, sitting upright in the tent.There's Shina , Yoon , and Zeno too at the corner , limbs tangling with each others.

Last night , Yona was finally--forced to sleep with Haku.They seemed to be pretty close already,  except for the fact that Yona seemed to be...

"Uuum..." Yona dashed out of the nearest tent while pouting , clasping her hands over her cheeks as Hana stepped out of her tent.

Speak of the devil.

"O-Oh hi , Hana! Good morning!"

...nervous.

And that's why , Hana finally had to sleep with the others , claiming that she's fine as long as she slept on the corner.But somehow , she woke up in the middle of the two.

What the hell.

"Should i wake up the others?" Hana offered , earning an agreement nod from Yona who proposed that she'll reheat the breakfast and wake Haku up.

Not that Hana actually wanted to wake a bunch of snoring boys up , but she prefered to reach their destination faster.So with determined steps like usual , she ducked in the tent and immediately knew who pretended to sleep under her smelling ability.

"Jaeha , Zeno.Get up , i know y'all awake," Hana's scrutinized gaze burn holes to their head--which slowly turned to her figre standing by the exit of the tent.

Jaeha groaned as he smirked , while Zeno stretched."Heheh! You caught me!"

Jaeha stared at her in suspicion.

"How did she know?"

Hana snapped her head to the green head , smelling a nose pricking smell flowing from him gradually as the rosy smell fades away.

It could change?

"Jaeha.What are you thinking about?" She knitted her brows , caught off guard when Jaeha stretched his limbs out like a cat."hmm...maybe about why you slip away from my grasp this morning,"

Hana raised an eyebrow.

I didn't smell any roses this morning.He surely is still asleep---liar.

"Don't ask yourself why , it has always been like that and will always be like that," Hana rolled her eyes , hollering to the messy tangling limbs at other corner.

"Mom Yoon , Shina , please wake up.Mister White head , wake your ass up , before i throw a bug in your blanket,"

"WHAT'S WITH THE DIFFERENCE OF BEHAVIOR?!! AND GET THAT BUG AWAY FROM ME I SWEAR TO----"

Yeah , so the morning went great.

If you count out the incident when Haku 'accidentally' splashed water on her as she was kicking him on the shin.(for being dense)

••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••

"It's visible! The Kai Empire!" Yona's gaze glimmered as she peeks around the bushes , sand hills peeking back warmly.Yona turned back from the beautiful view to the sight of Haku and Hana , elbowing each other's ribs with sparks exploding between them.

"What the hell's with you today , salt bread?" Haku clenched his fist , sending another nudge.Hana wasn't really left behind either , sending bigger nudge.

"I should ask the same , also why the hell were you pouring a bucket water on me?" Hana glimpsed behind her still wet hair strands , purple orbs staring back at him like peircing to his soul.

Haku fell to a deep silence for a few seconds , confusing Hana.

That eyes are familiar.

"I--Oh dear.Yona , i think i broke your man--" Hana was about to go off , telling Yona--when Haku snapped back to reality and headlocked Hana , stopping her before she could even look at Yona in the eyes.

"This little shit's annoying , she shouldn't have been here," Haku said as a joke , punching less harsh fists to her wriggling head.

"Shut your trap , yall need me," Hana put up a faint smirk before twirling Haku's arm , and slipped away.That move earned a groan."Also , poor Yona's getting confused.Let's go," Hana folded her arms , noticing how Jaeha , Kija , and Zeno shared snacks as they watched us merely killing each other just now.

"This early? Do we need to pay to make you continue?" Kija asked absentmindedly , hushed by Yoon.

"Depends," Hana shrugged , taking her bag back with her."Ten is enough,"

"Ten what?" Jaeha raised an eyebrow seductively.

Hana wants to gag.

Can this old man stop being horny for at least 3 minutes?

"Ten fingers."

"Hana Fujino , i know you're a weird ass woman , but what the fu--

"Guys , there's a woman collapsing in the middle of the road!" Kija pointed out to indeed--a figure sprawled on the ground under the bare sun.

Haku dashed off and reached the woman first followed by Yona and the others.

A black silky haired young lady with a bandana carrying two skewed buckets.Haku lifted her head up , luckily managing to make the woman regain consciousness of the contact, her half lidded eye snapping to a big widened eyes in a spare of two seconds.

"Are you okay?"

Hana raised an eyebrow when the miss stuttered.

"Eh! Oh no! Yes , I'm fine! You're so nice!!" She has literal sparkles around her dark orbs , glimmering under Haku's gaze.

"Missy , eat a loquat!" Zeno offered."Are you okay?" Yona joined , kneeling by her side."Do you get a heatwave? Feeling dehydrated? Zeno , give her more loquat." Hana reprimanded.

"If you want i can carry you , young lady~" but his offer got avoided aside , as she tried standing up.

"Oh my goodness , much lookers! But it's weird!" She laughed , while both Yoon and Hana sweatdropped.

Here's why i didn't want to take them.. / So much for trying to not get noticed...

"Oh , could it be , you guys are entertainers!?" She chimed , and before anyone could defy including Kija whose mouth now got slammed shut by Yoon , Yoon replied wih a loud yes.

Wow , entertainers with a glaive and weapons? Cool , totally normal.

"Are you still dizzy? I have medicines," Hana crouched down by her side.She politely rejected , not before slightly staring way too long at Hana.

"..miss?"

"O-Oh ya! I'm fine , just..i've been doing heavy labor since this morning.The men were sent to the Sen Capital to enter military , so..." her voice trailed off.

"But it's been a long time..since such good loocking entertainers pass this way! My village won't throw this away!" She squealed , somehow looking as healthy as normal person looks.

She's still energetic...

"Say , would you please come to our village today? Today's a special day!" She clasped her hands over Hana's , suprising her.

"Special?"

She nodded vigorously.

"We're holding the fire festival today!"

Hana glanced to take a sight of the others.

Visiting a village won't hurt , right?

●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●

Or no.

Hana squished her way out of the crowds with the remaining power she could muster.

"You're so gorgeous! I have never seen someone looking so pretty , mature , and cool in the same time!" The girls chimed around Hana , surpisingly.Hana stole a glance to the others , noticing how other girls crowds around Haku and thr others , except Yona in her hood and Yoon.

"Err sure , thank you, now please excuse me," Hana mutered up a quick excuse before slipping away to Yona and Yoon."Never knew how it feels to be Jaeha.Must be sucks to be him,"

"Hana , language."

"Shh..I'm older than you."

"Really now?"

Yoon rolled his eyes as he slipped away , to  who-knows-where.Hana and Yona steal a glance of him before looking at each other , Yona deciding to wait there as Hana followed Yoon.

Yoon seemed to observe everything.

Right.About the crops.

"Ah.Yoon," Hana tapped on Yoon's shoulder , collectively pointing at the  bucket of what she assumed--the whatever seed.

"Now i remember...it's iz--" before Hana could say what she was thinking, a yell erupted behind them , making them flinch like cats and turn around.

"THIEF!" An old man appeared.

Yoon stuttered.He doesn't look like he's experienced in facing stubborn pressures.

"U-Um...you're mistaken... we- We were taken by um..." he choked on his own words.

Hana sighed.

"Old man , you're mistaken.We were brought by the girls , they said there's a festival today.And we are entertainers." She explained calmly.

The man reminisced.

"So you're dancers?"

Yoon and Hana looked at each other.

"Uh , yes," yoon muttered out.

What...so we are dancers now? Amazing.

Hana looked around as the two conversed.Seems like the man was obsessed with dancers or something.By her twitching nose , Hana could smell the others.

The girls are already off them now , huh? They are straying away , waiting by the south part of where we arrived first time.

"But i can treat you to dumplings made of iza seeds! You can eat it!" The male exclaimed out of nowhere , maybe because Hana didn't really cope up with the convo.

Oh crap?

"Really? Thank you!!" Yoon gasped , clasping his hands.

"But i have a condition for the exchange!" He chuckled.

Hana stared at Yoon in disbelieving deadpan.

What have you gotten yourself in a few seconds im looking away , Yoon!

●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●

"This way," Hana muttered quickly , guiding Yoon to the crowds of the familiar people , following the rosy smell by her nose.

"How did you know they're around here?" Yoon raised an eyebrow as he ran behind her.

"Babysitter instinct."

Jaeha and Yona's chatting , turning to us when we called for them.

"Yona," Hana stopped , appearing before them.

Yona and Jaeha stood up , processing the sight before their eyes.Yoon's wearing a cute dancing outfit , the same one as the one slumped on Hana's arms.

"What's the deal with the cute clothes?" Yona gasped.

"We found out about the crop called Iza seeds.." Yoon informed , Yona praised him for the quick-go."but , the iza crop manager said he'll treat us to iza cooking if we wore this outfit and dance for the festival!"

"Oh , great! I want to see you too!" Yona clapped.

Hana facepalmed , earning a pat pat from Jaeha.

"No use , except if you want to wear this and dance in my stead," Hana hissed.

Jaeha pulled away his arms.

"Oh you too?"

Hana looked away.

"Sadly."

"Anyway Yona!" Yoon grapped Yona by her shoulders."Harp and dancing is your forte , right?! I can't dance , Yona! Please dance for my stead!" Yoon begged.

"But the man wants you because he wants to see cute ones danci--" Yona politely rejected , but--

"YOU'RE THE CUTE ONE HERE , YONA!"/"You are the cute one here , Yona."

Yoon and Hana yelled/muttered.

Awkward silence.

"Thank you...but," Yona backed up again , but halted when Haku sneered.

"Oh? Are you going to do it? With that little wiggle chicken dance?" He snorted.

Something seemed to snap in Yona's mind.

"I'LL DO IT."

Hana sighed as she turned to the other males.

"Does anyone want to sub in for me?"

Silence.

"Oy , Kija , come'ere,"

"I DIDN'T EVEN AGREE!"

dammit.

I'm not in mood to dance.
