stage 1

the ninja & sakura flower

✩ Luna slid into an side alley as she bent over her knees as she could heard the knightmares in the background. She couldn't keep running. She couldn't keep hiding until was safe. She looked down to the scrape that she had got sliding under that metal rubble as she sighed. She had to find a safe place to be for now. She kept walking just hearing a voice. She pressed her back against the cold brick as she closed her eyes and held her breath. She opened her eyes to see a girl not much older than her staring back at her. 

"Are you hurt?" Taehyun questioned her as himself and Hwieul were in their uniforms. "They royal army already left." He said as he added 

"At least she's not dead." Was all Hwieul said as she walked off

Luna studied the girl's outfit as she stepped around Taehyun. "How did you get that outfit?" Luna accent twinged out as she glared at the other girl

"It was a gift." Hwieul responded, looking at her phone. 

"From who?" Luna forcely turned Hwieul around. 

"Who do you think?" Hwieul shoved Luna to the ground as she bent down. She looked at Luna as she tilted her head to the left. "Zero gave me this." Hwieul blankly nodded 

"Ah christ, Hwieul. Don't scare her." Taehyun pulled Luna to her feet. "Come on with us. You should know who we are." He looked back at Luna

"I'm fine. I just, she just, he just - it has been a long time since i've heard that name." Luna responded as she slowly followed them. She found herself in a large abandoned building as she looked around. She watched the girl being called Hwieul slip into a room where she could see the back the famous Zero helmet speaking to another male as the door shut. She took the gauze and items from Taehyun as she was left on her own to patch herself up. She heard the voices in the other room talking as she was sitting around. She looked up when another male walked in with a Korean army jacket, but Luna didn't recongize it well. Luna noticed that he had brought food and other supplies. 

"Ardyn, bring Luna." Taekyoon poked his head out of the door as he left it open. 

The other male nodded as he picked up the take out as he didn't say anything to Luna as she just looked at him. "Come on." He spoke through his face mask as he entered the room. Ardyn set down the food in the middle of the talbe as he took a seat inbetween Hwieul and the Zero. 

"Welcome." Daemin looked at Luna through his mask. 

"Yeah. You guys are Cheonsa." Luna answered 

"Yes." Hwieul rolled her eyes. "Any other wasteful questions." She asked 

"Oh sorry, I didn't know I was wasting your time when you guys are the ones who brought me not the other way around. I didn't exactly want to be brought to the most wanted's lair." Luna snapped 

"She is just cranky." Daemin eyed Hwieul through his mask as she got up from the table. Daemin pulled her back down in her chair just reaching his arm across Ardyn who just leaned back in his chair.

"You can leave at any point, but if you speak of us then I'll have to kill you." Ardyn finally spoke a full sentence. 

"Oh that helps you guys out." Luna responded, crossing her arms. "I know all the stories about you." Luna looked at Zero. 

"I understand that. By having you on our team then we can do things better this time around and you can teach us more than we already know. You possibly don't want what happened to Japan to happen to Korea?" Daemin said 

"It already has." Hwieul sighed "He's knew at this." She added 

"Why do you do that? LIke I am doing a pretty good here and you have, Eul just sorry okay." The Zero turned back to Luna. "Anyway we would be honored to have your help." He said 

"Oh I can tell that you are going to need it." Luna answered as she wasn't sure if he was putting on an act to get her to join. It worked though. "Okay. How do I sign up?" She asked 

"You just did. I'll have an uniform for you soon." Hwieul said as she grabbed a bag of food as she walked off with Zero. 

"You aren't going to let me see you." Luna said 

"Of course not, the only people that have seen me are Hwieul and Taekyoon. They only deserve to. What have you done to deserve to see my face?" Daemin asked as he left the room with Hwieul. 

"Don't take it personally." Taekyoon said as he grabbed a couple take out boxes. "It is to protect us all." He added 

"Not you." Luna said

"I am founder. I don't need it." He countered back. 

Luna watched the black night catch a couple boxes from Adryn as he walked off with the guren. "Why are you here? You're an military person. You should be on the other side." Luna said 

"Incorrect. What do you want?" He asked 

"You aren't going to tell me why I am wrong?" She asked as she grabbed some food. 

"I am Korean military officer and special force task member. I am not a royal guard or whatever they are called. Hwieul found me, well I found her and helped her get away from royal guards. I was tired of running and hoping not to die. Zero offered me a position a few days after I got here to be their body guard and to help with military tactics." Adryn stood up 

"Why would you help her though? She is one of them." Luna said 

"I am not a monster. I wouldn't let someone innocent person die by their hands. Besides she isn't like the others you meet. She act just like one of us. I wasn't kidding earlier." He started to walk off to his room. 

"On what? Killing me?" Luna asked 

"Yes. I'll make sure you don't suffer." Ardyn walked down the hall just into a room. 

Luna heard the door shut as he wasn't kidding. She thought it was just something to scare her. She walked out of the room as she found a spot to eat just on a old couch in the living room type area right outside the room she had been in previously. She broke the chopsticks she had and started eatting.
