"Hwang. You're here?.." Mina said with joyous tone

"WHAT MAKES YOU HAPPY ABOUT IT!...I'M TAKING YOU BACK" He shot back at her, he didn't sound pleased when he found Mina, it made quiet , he was in a bad mood and at a wrong time.

" YOU TALK LIKE YOU CAN TAKE ME OUT THAT EASILY INTRUDER!" Kilik gave him an insulting smirked as he clenched his fist twirled his Kali-yuga, keeping his state of balance completely under his control on a pole he was standing on a pole.

"..YOU TALK TO MUCH BOY! CALL ME WHATEVER YOU WANT..YOU'RE NOT MY CONCERN" Hwang answered back while clutching Mina in his arms. Currently mina was in no state to say anything shocked not even a word, to see Hwang followed her all the way to China? But in the middle of an unlikely confrontation, she was glad but Hwang didn't seemed to be at all.

"LET HER GO!" Kilik warned him as Hwang turn his back away from him.

"Don't turn your back on me!" Kilik warned him. But Hwang ignored him.

Then kilik began to make his move towards hwang, Just then Hwang managed to leap to his side ,away from him charging attack, still holding Mina

"stop this! You're going to get us killed." Mina yelped

Instantly Kilik swoops up into the air behind Hwang with his approaching vertical strike, But Hwang draw his blue thunder even he was still clutching mina with one arm, and blocked his powerful slash with is sword. Then kilik leaped back away and was charging again towards them.

"Damn't stop it you two!. Kilik no!" Mina continued to scream at them, trying to break free from hwang's arms. "Let me go!"

, As kilik was near his reach, He Dodge his another strike and Hwang grabbed his arm , knocked his chest with his knee taking an upper slash of his sword causing his rod to threw out his opponent's hand. He kicked him off from his reach. Luckily it was a close call for kilik unable to caught Hwang's slash or it would have sliced his arm off. He then, was able to grab hold to a cliff meters away from his Kali yuga which was tossed aside

"STOP IT!!!!STOP IT!!!!!!!!! " Mina yelped , Hwang took back his sword and shifted his carry over mina above his shoulder, "Put me down!" she struggled hittinh her hands on his back. as hwang took off leaping his way out of the bamboo poles, mina saw kilik charging towards them

"Kilik It's a misunderstanding!!" Mina yelped but kilik threw out his rod hitting towards the pole, which Hwang was about to land on, causing Hwang to lose his balance.

"AHHHHHH!!!!!!!!" Mina screamed as they fell but instinctively hwang was able to nail his sword plunging on a boulder that saved them from falling from the collapsing pole.

"Mina Hold on!" Hwang pulled Mina's hand back up to his level.

"It's not going to hold that long..! It's crumbling!" She gasped.

"IT BETTER BE!" Kilik appeared from the cliff above them as he swoop down and caught Mina from Hwang.

"Mina!" Hwang tried to reach a bamboo pole behind him as he did, he quickly pulled out his Blue thunder and swing his weight from the pole as he made his back up to the higher ground, he chased Kilik who nabbed Mina from his arm.

"Kilik! Let me go!.. You don't understand!" Mina struggled from Kilik's grip

"That stranger is going after you!"

"YES! I . KNOW!!! HE's no stranger!" Mina exclaimed

"Huh!" just then Kilik stopped from running, but Hwang caught Kilik , it alarmed him he tripped over , Mina flew across from Kilik's arm , she caught the edge of the cliff side high above from the river current

"MINA!" They both shout in unison. But mina wasn't able to hold on

"AAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!" her voice trailed off as she plunged into the water.

The two men dive into the river to her rescue, Hwang was the faster one who was able to dive into the river first. Hwang and Kilik swam into the strong current and back in the surface a couple of times. "MINA!!!!!" each of them called worried.

*Mina.don't die on me! * Hwang's worry were beginning to cloud his mind as he continued searching in the river, he continued swimming, fighting against the strong current of the river and went towards the rocks, and saw a sight of her hand trying to grab on the rocks hitting against the strong current almost lost her grip climbing up to the rocks but she fainted, Hwang got there closer just in time before she almost drown.

"Mina..!" Hwang lay her on the soil, shaking her face to regain her consciousness back, she opened her eyes and rolled over to her side, hwang percussed her back as she coughed out the water she engulfed that almost drowned her

Mina sat and stood up from her knees hwang accompanied her as she regain her stance, but mina shoved his arm

"You're stupid!.. You almost got me killed!" Mina yelled at him "awww.." She kneeled down and saw her leg was badly wounded, including the lacerated wound yesterday was very inflamed. Hwang kneeled beside her and inspected her wound

"You heard me!" Mina yelled at him , but He didn't paid attention to mina's blabbering , instead he removed his head scarf and unfolded it causing his bangs to fall over before before his eyes, Mina paused and watched him , as he bandaged it around her wound to stop the bleeding and loosened her shoe just to make it easy for her to walk.

"Hmph!" Mina moved away from him and trying to hide her pain she stood up but shaky.. Hwang held her over her shoulders. Hwang smiled at her , to her surprise Hwang bent over and kissed her on the forehead

"See.. You can't look out for yourself. I must bring you home." Hwang said.

Mina blushed and took a step back " You're trying to trick me again.. You heard me that's a NO!" She stubbornly remarked.

Hwang held her arm " I'M TAKING YOU BACK.. YOU'VE CAUSED ME A LOT OF TROUBLE THESE DAYS!" a change in the tone of his voice, causing mina shook of his hand on her arm and took a further step

"Mina! You're Okay!." Kilik appeared from behind the bushes and went to her, he noticed Mina's quarrel with Hwang

"Don't interfere boy, my quarrel is not with you' Hwang answered him blantly and he turned to Mina.

Mina clutched into Kilik's arm "I'm Staying with Him!. instead of going home!" She yelled at Hwang

"hmph." hwang gave them a smirk and folded his arms "You're pretty stubborn. You'll get yourself to trouble again."

"Look she doesn't want you following her, you heard what she said!' Kilik exclaimed

"What would you do?.. If you get yourself caught by authorities. you'll get Mina involved too, even stealing poultry last night" Hwang laughed

"How did you know! Just leave us alaone.. I'll be fine with my journey!" Mina said

"I heard A Thief with a wandering woman happened to steal crops from the farm supplies of The Emperor's army, news were in the village.it is so pathethic , I know Mina you'll getinvolved like that!" Hwang shot back.

"Emperor's farm crops!. Kilik of all the places!" Mina poked him on the shoulder

"I Didn't knew about that, If I did I don't have the guts to go over their fences!" He explained

"...Mina, Come with me..Now!" hwang exclaimed

Mina's Mind

* He's being to harsh on me.. He doesn't believe I can do these things, But Why did he bothered to find me here, all the way to china?... which means. he left the Coastal defense force. why?...Am I that important..to . him.. Huh!.. what am I saying. Maybe I was being to hash on him.

All my life I grew up with Hwang, He was like a brother to me. even during my childhood days, he would accompany me wherever I go.. to my sensei who teaches me how to draw. "LOOK MINA IS ALREADY BETRODE, MINA IS BETRODE, MINA IS BETRODE !" some group of kids would say it at school, I cry..as my toys fell across the street, Hwang would pick them up for me and smile, He would pull out a frog from his pocket and threw it to my playmates to scare them away. and just laughed at them and brushed my tears away. .. Time passed between us.. Somehow..Things never changed the way he was there for me. when I'm in trouble" *

Mina opened her eyes she was in a nice cozy room and saw a pair of lovely eyes looked at her and smiled, A girl sat beside her, she was about a couple of years younger than her, her short hair was clipped behind her ears, she wears a pretty floral Chinese top, but a sword hung aound her waistbelt, identifying that's she's is one of the Chinese officials that caught them.

Patting her forehead his a warm towel and removes the aromatic incense on the bed beside where she lays.. "You feel fine already?. you fainted.. The guards were supposed to took you in. Instead I took you here.. you're wounded pretty badly" The girl said.

"What's you name?. you must be Korean? The way you dressed?" She asked

"Huh... Mina" She answered as trying to get up from her recumbent position

"Don't sit just yet, rest for a while. I'm Chai, Xianghua.." The girl smiled at her.
