" okay Diablo, the fog is getting thicker here and I'm gonna get really irritated if I run into another monster or tree for all that matters."

"woof"

"yes yes I know I'm crazy talking to a wolf but I can't do anything about it okay? I'm getting very lonely here."

"woof woof?"

" what are you talking about? of course there's nothing going on between me and Tengu, that's absurd ! the only thing happening is me going everyday asking her for a rematch that she's so afraid to accept!"

"woof"

"yes I know it's dumb to travel all the way here just to ask her for a rematch"

" woof woof?"

" what do you mean!? of course I'm not worried about her why would I be?"

"woof~"

"N-NO! I don't like her! that's crazy!"

Itto's face was flushing in red as he though about anything happening between him and Sara but that moment was cut short when he ran into a tree. "AGHH GOD DAMN IT, NOT AGAIN"

"woof woof woof"

" yeah yeah I'm okay don't worry" looking up at the tree he was amazed at it's size and it's shape.

"oooo~ what do we have here, this looks promising, why don't we check out that weird hole inside it"

"woof"

they slid into the hollow crevice in the mysterious red leafed tree, it's size was about eighteen meters tall and the hole in it leads to a cave underground.

it's been a few minutes since they began to wander in the cave under the tree, Diablo started to growl loudly, "hm? what is it buddy?" Itto looked to the direction the Wolf was growling in and saw a magnificent purple gem with white and hot pink on it's tips.

" oh my, that's an electro spinel gem, do you know how rare these things are? they say that it can become a big power source if used properly with the right tools." Itto picked up the gem and started admiring it. " I think we should get out of here, if we don't I bet that the cave will collapse on us or some monsters are gonna come out of nowhere and try to kill us"

"woof?"

"what do you mean I'm being paranoid ? I'm completely serious! that always happens to people that take something valuable in a creepy cave, I've read a lot of adventure books that can prove my point."

" woof, woof"

"what ? no! I can assure you that can happen in real life too! you're just too confident in your luck."

after they got out of the Tree Itto decided to take a little rest because it was getting dark outside "hey how about we sleep here for the night ?"

"woof!"

Arataki laid in a sleeping position, in a few minutes the fog started clearing out a bit so he gazed to the bright stars in the sky while getting sleepier each second, his eyelids started shutting completely and muttered a sentence before he fell in a deep sleep.

"where are you, Tengu?"
