Sakuraba and Zakuro

Unlike the two groups who remained silent until the middle of the journey, Sakuraba and Zakuro even chatted non-stop.

Yes even though the one who dominates the conversation is Zakuro. And Sakuraba is just being a loyal listener.

"Morab-kun. You know Akiko-Chii justifies my uniform. And say 'Zakuro, if you're dressed in a model like that, you're actually thought to have never been cared for by your parents.come right first.' when it's just a shirt."Zakuro complains with Akiko's attitude of paying too much attention to her shirt problems.

"Hattchii"

Akiko sneezed while covering her nose and mouth.

"You why?." Ask Sasuke Curious.

"It's okay. My nose only itches." Akiko touched his nose.

"Together with Igarashi, he cares too much about the little things about Sasuke that make me think that he spoils Sasuke. " Reply Sakuraba.

"Hattchhii."

This time Igarashi had involuntarily sneezed. It made Hanada shocked.

"Igarashi-kun?." Hanada asked to make sure that Igarashi was okay.

"It's nothing. Sometimes my ice can make my nose a little clogged." Lying Igarashi.

'Either why do I have a feeling someone is talking about me now.' Inner Igarashi.

"But. Both Akiko and Igarashi are actually very attentive to you all. We're all grown up. It is time to become independent and mature. So we should pay more attention to ourselves." Sakuraba explained the meaning of Akiko and Igarashi's attitude.

'yeah. Although lately Igarashi more often pamper Sasuke than take care of him.' Sakuraba continues in the heart.

Every day, he finds Sasuke sleeping next to Igarashi, or Igarashi sewing a torn Sasuke suit, or a fussy Sasuke asking for his food to be cooked by Igarashi. Igarashi is like Mama to Sasuke.

"Enak, it's Sasuke-kun. He was spoiled by Igarashi-kun." Complain Zakuro who got Sakuraba's jewel.

"You must not be envious. That's not a good deed." Tegur Sakuraba's.

"And again. Sasuke is your cousin's brother. Call him Sasuke-san or Sasuke-niisan." Sakuraba.

"Let's go wee." Zakuro stuck out his tongue. He does not care about Sakuraba. Sakuraba can only resign. No cousin sister, no cousin sister, just the same. Equally stupid.

...****************...

Not long after, Sakuraba felt she was being watched.

"Zakuro let's go." Sakuraba's words dragged Zakuro out of their place.

Zakuro was shocked. What's with Sakuraba is there something that's bugging her.

"What's up?." Ask Zakuro.

"Some one's watching us." Sakuraba replied while running.

"Does Sakuraba-kun know where he is?." Zakuro asked again trying to keep up with Sakuraba's running speed.

"I'm not sure. But I felt his steps were huge" Sakuraba replied.

Sakuraba and Zakuro are deadlocked. They immediately turned around to look for a safe route.

But as they were about to enter the new Route, a giant ball of stone was thrown covering their path.

"Who threw this stone?." Zakuro asked after realizing that there was a large stone in front of him.

The sound of huge footsteps was heading towards them, making Sakuraba and Zakuro turn their heads back.

The sound of footsteps became more clear. Sounds like metal rubbing. The voice stopped right in front of Sakuraba and Zakuro.

The creature was made of bronze. His size was also very large and he was dressed like a soldier.

"TALLOS???!!!." Shouted Sakuraba and Zakuro could not hide themselves from the shock.

When Talos was about to reach them Sakuraba immediately took Zakuro and avoided Talos.

"Why are we avoiding?." Zakuro asked Sakuraba who was trying to keep her distance from Talos.

"You will melt if you are held by him" Sakuraba replied after a safe distance from Talos.

"Currently being careful and keeping your distance is the best path." Continue while taking down Zakuro.

"I think that's enough." Zakuro then took out his Scope Gun.

"Prepare. Clob ed nairud." Zakuro Attack. Then from the Scope gun Zakuro appears a lot of durian fruit that is getting bigger and bigger. The Durians are about Talos.

It seems, however, that the giant Durian alone was not enough to subvert the bronze creature.

"Dam. Failed." Zakuro Kesal.

"Once again. Eiulp ed sebmob sesirec." Zakuro is still not giving up, Zakuro again gave up by firing cherries that are ready to explode while near Talos.

"DUAR.DUAR.DUAR.DUAR."

Hundreds of cherries exploded right near Talos. Same with durian. Cherries do not seem to work against Talos. "I still don't want to give up."

"Zakuro calm yourself down. Or you just lured him here." Sakuraba tried to calm Zakuro down.

Sure enough, Talos who had been silent, was now moving towards them.

"Alright I'll try to beat him with this." Sakuraba said as she brought up her dagger.

"Pouc and uef." Sakuraba attacked towards both arms of Talos.

'Please succeed.' Sakuraba please. It was unexpected that a deadly attack like Pouc ed uef should be able to injure Talos It seemed like it was useless.

Talos is getting closer to them. Sakuraba has no other choice but to take Zakuro's run to a safer distance.

"Is there no way to escape this iron creature?." Zakuro asked as he watched Talos getting closer to them.

Sakuraba suddenly remembered something. Yeah, something about Talos.

...****************...

Flashbacks.

Eight-year-old Sakuraba is helping her mother clean up her scattered books. Soon Sakuraba's sister will be born. And Sakuraba wants her sister to be comfortable. He was unable to bear the weight he was under. Sakuraba fell while carrying her mother's books.

"Aren't you okay?." Ask Sakuraba's mother named Mika.

Mika often calls Sakuraba with the name of brother so that when the second child is born, then the second child will be used to call Sakuraba with the name of Brother.

"I'm fine. " Reply Sakuraba while standing up. When he was about to tidy up the book, Sakuraba saw a book with a bronze knight image.

"What book is this mom?." Sakuraba asked while looking at the book.

Mika smiles. Then he took his son, "This book is titled Jason and the Argonaut." Bright Mika.

"This book recounts Jason's struggle in the search for golden feathers. So persistent is he, he uses a way so that he can get it even though life is at stake. But the opponent is very difficult. He is Talos. He was created by a god to guard the island. Although Talos is made of bronze, Talos has blood vessels that extend from the neck to the ankles covered by nails. In their fight against Talos, Medea ordered Jason to pull out the nail so that Talos could be defeated. Jason then pulled out the nail that covered Talos' blood vessels. Then blood flowed out of the nail hole. Talos was finally defeated." Mika's story is long.

Then, Mika positioned her son to stand up. "Let's just keep cleaning up." The Mika queen reminded her son.

"Mother." Calling Sakuraba made Mika turn her head.

"Can I read it after I'm done helping you." Sakuraba asked expectantly.

Mika smiled and nodded in response.

Flashback End.

...****************...

"That's it." Shouted Sakuraba startlingly

Zakuro's.

"Eh?. What's?." Zakuro asked still a little surprised.

"I remember. Talos has blood vessels running from the neck to the ankles." Sakuraba is still running.

A gigantic stone was thrown towards them but they were able to dodge it by running in another direction.

Sakuraba and Zakuro stopped after they were quite a distance away from Talos.

"You see that?." Point Sakuraba at Talos' feet.

"Yes I see what you mean." Reply Zakuro.

"It was a nail used to cover his veins." Sakuraba.

"Then?." Zakuro still doesn't seem to understand Sakuraba's intentions.

"If we could pull out his nails. Talos is going to die. And he'll be smashed to pieces." Sakuraba.

Zakuro widened his eyes. He does not believe that Sakuraba intends to do so.

"How can we get there?." Ask Zakuro. Sakuraba began to show her cynical smile.

"Morab-kun. You're scary."

"Come on. We're attacking him." Sakuraba is now running towards Talos.

As Talos gets closer to them, Sakuraba asks Zakuro to do something.

"Zor." Call Sakuraba.

"Use Repus xion ed ococ to divert the movement of his hand. Then for his feet, leave it to me." Sakuraba's orders were already prepared with a dagger in her hand.

Zakuro looked at Sakuraba for a while then he also prepared with his scope gun.

"Let's start." Zakuro.

"Repus xion and ococ." A coconut that was getting bigger and bigger hit Talos.

Talos manages to catch him but Zakuro launches the Repus xion ed ococ once again until Talos has trouble. While Zakuro was still attacking, Sakuraba was already preparing with her magic.

"I beg your help. Eurg eidnecni'd." From Sakuraba's dagger, a blaze emerged forming like a crane. Which then stuck right on Talos' nail.

Then Sakuraba immediately pulled and pulled the nail out of her hole. True guess of Sakuraba. A liquid came out of there. Stopping Talos's movement, Talos was smashed to pieces.

"IT WORKED!!." Shouted Zakuro in excitement. But not so long because Sakuraba pulled Zakuro to leave the place.

...****************...

Azuna smiled the three couples made it through the obstacles. Not long after, he saw the three couples managed to get out of his Maze.

"We're finally here." Zakuro said a little tired.

"This time it's six on one." Said Hanada preparing his Magic Staff.

"Quite exhausting. But not bad either." Sakuraba prepared her dagger in the attacking position.

"We make the most of our numbers." Said Igarashi who chose to use the Bowgun instead of the Arrow Bow.

"I'm really impatient." Sasuke was apparently getting ready with a needle on the sidelines of his finger.

Akiko was seen taking out her morning star gun. "Let's start, Miss Azuna." Said preparing.

"Your steps will ended here. So be prepared." Azuna took out her Jousting Lance.

"Strike me from anywhere." Azuna's orders.

TBC.
