Kidnapped to Another World Chapter 22

Dreamweaver chapter 22

Meeting Akira...

"Well this is it," Ranger kid said. He pointed to a small lean to shack in front of us about a dozen meters after we'd finished traveling.

"Eh? Are you sure this is the right one?" Yumi asked carefully.

This hut didn't look that good but was built pretty sturdy at least. It looked like the design was a bit different than the others.

Instead of using a conical round mud and stick hut design like the others, this one was more like a lean to against a huge boulder as tall as a man, with a sort of design that was a three dimensional triangle with parallel lines of longer heavier branches making a wall and ceiling. Then with lots of leaves and coverings over the top, it was made to look as if it might keep out most of the rain and wind. It must be a good find to find a boulder like that though, since it was pretty solid and making up a whole wall by itself.

There were a lot of coverings over the entrance and the back too, which surprised me as it seemed very secretive. It's clear they wanted privacy and now there was only a very small opening in the front that was about two feet high. Because of the way it was shaped you had to bend over in order to go through by crawling in over a bed of the larger palm leaves. It was also positioned so the sun would dry fairly quickly outside and inside the hut if any night moisture or rain came.

Overall it was also very clean and dry looking as far as we could tell.

"Ahh that's not a bad hut!" Rina said, smiling and fascinated. She was moving forward but was suddenly grabbed by Yumi.

"Stop Rina NO!" She was very stressed out in her voice, like there was danger.

Yumi had grabbed Rina from behind and wrapped her arms around Rina's waist pulling her back.

"W-what are you doing? Let me go!" Rina said sullenly. After all it was something curious, so naturally she would be attracted to it.

"Whew! Thanks Yumi," I was so tired I didn't make it in time. After all I'd just done two sneak heals on Rina's back about ten minutes ago when the ranger kid wasn't looking. It had made me fatigued and I was still trying to recover.

"Rina, we think there's a sickness of some kind here. You are weaker than we are already. With your condition we don't want you exposed. So stay back a bit and don't get close to the others," I said apologetically.

"Boooh!" she stuck her tongue out but listened.

Yumi pulled her to a safe distance that wasn't near us or the other huts, but also not next to the ranger kid. After all he was a threat potentially as well.

"Hey ranger, can you keep a lookout for us near here...say over there?" Asakura asked, smiling. She pointed to a high spot, which would give us some privacy for checking Akira.

Ranger was smiling cheekily, after all Sensei was very beautiful and hard to say no to.

"Ahh, OK, but please wave to me soon to keep my morale up sensei!" he smiled big, trying really hard. He had a spring in his step as he marched over. After all it wasn't every day that someone as pretty as Asakura gave you attention. As he walked away I heard sensei under her breath.

"Hehe, fufu, ...sucker..."

"Err, what was that sensei?" I asked surprised.

"Uh, -err, nothing. Nothing at all," she portrayed an innocent smile but my eyes narrowed suspiciously. "Don't worry Shun!" she added.
