"Who are you?" Inosuke stared down at the boy. "You need to follow me if you want to be safe." The ginger haired boy with onyx eyes stared back at the two "Why should we believe you?" Inosuke barked."Do you have a choice?" Inosuke growled at his words. "If I was with the prince, I would have come with the Imperial Guards." He was hooded, blending perfectly with the underground. "Where will you take us?" Elizabeth questioned. "Follow me," he turned and ran. His Cape flew in the air after him.The two had no choice but to follow the kid into the labyrinth. "Find them!" An Imperial Guard was heard. The light from the flame of their torches, grew as the guards approached."Follow me," the kid ran further down the dark corridor. "Oi, if you try to betray us, I will smash your skull!" Inosuke slammed his knuckles together.They waited. "Over there!" A guard shouted. The guard was confused when he scanned an empty corridor. He thought he'd heard a sound. Suddenly, he was overshadowed by a boar-headed figure looming over his head. He could not remember what happened next."Nice one," the kid praised Inosuke. "This way," he pointed to the other end of the hall. Elizabeta peered to look at the body which had gone out cold, hoping it stayed that way for a while. There was a rusty ladder along the length of the wall. The ceiling wasn't in sight."Up here," the kid beckoned with his hand."I heard a voice this way!" Another guard was heard. A few pair of feet were trotting closer. "Move, move!" Elizabeta whispered, shoving Inosuke in front of her. The kid paced up the ladder followed by Inosuke and Elizabeta.The kid waited for a bit as he saw the lights and footsteps loom near the foot of the ladder. The three of them held their breath and waited. The guards paced back and forth near the area. "It's a dead end," one said. Inosuke clawed the kid's foot above him, making the kid flinch. "That way," one guard said.

The kid waited for a bit so the torchlights and footsteps dimmed into the distance. He shoved the kid of the sewer above his head to reveal broad daylight. They climbed out of the smelly gunk into the busy bazaar. The kid and Elizabeta pulled the hood over their heads to shadow their features. Inosuke wore his mask anyway as usual. The kid dropped the kid back on the mouth of the manhole.The three were weaving into the crowd to avoid the inquisitive gazes for wives, mothers and children. After a few turns into the labyrinth of the bazaar, the kid stopped in front of a wooden door. A pale gloved hand extended from beneath his Cape and knocked on the small door. The peephole on the door slid open and a pair of eyes appeared from within. Elizabeta gulped.The pair of eyes frowned as it scanned the faces of all three guests. It took in the appearance of the boy as he dropped his hood. The peephole slid shut before the door opened.A broad make with a red hair tied in a pigtail opened the door and ushered us in. He had a scar across one eye. It looked more of a symbol of strength and Inosuke was instantly starstruck."Welcome back Daichi," an old lady standing atop a stool, hunching over and stirring a pot of boiling curry in the kitchen said.
