3 Escape Plan

"So Alex, tell me something about yourself. How did you get captured?"

The young lady with red hair asked Alex while having her meal in the evening.

A couple of days had passed after female trio joined as prisoners and in the meantime, the only one that interacted with Alex, among the trio was the beautiful lady before her.

"To be honest, even I myself don't know that well. It was just that I happened to sleep at my house one night, and when I woke up, I found myself in 'Thorpes Village' and got myself captured.

The young lady laughed out when she heard that Alex willingly followed the Boss and became a prisoner out of his own choice.

"You really amuse me, Alex."

"Well, I thought that he was joking around but…" Alex sighed and his expression turned dim.

"You can call me, Kiko."

"Hm?"

"Kiko! That's my name."

"Oh, sure Kiko-san."

"Good, now let me introduce you to my daughters," said Kiko as she beckoned her right hand, calling the two girls having their meals.

'She is their mother, damn, no one could guess that such an attractive body belongs to that of a mother,' thought Alex as he saw the two girls - the red haired and black haired one coming over. He could not help but feel that he knew them - both the lady and the girl with red hair, but could not recall exactly where.

Pointing to the red hair girl, the lady said, "She is Karin, my daughter. Karin, this is Alex."

"Hi Alex, nice to meet you. You know my mother doesn't get along with others that well, so you must consider yourself lucky," said the red haired cutie with a smile on her face, trying to tease her Mom.

"Haha, well, guess I am very lucky then. It's nice to meet you too, Karin."

"And the black hair beauty is my another daughter, Akemi."

"Hi, Akemi."

"Hi, Alex," the black haired girl politely greeter him politely and turned her face towards the lady, "Aunty, I…"

Kiko interjected her in an angry tone, "What aunty? I have said already that you are my daughter and this is final. Could it be that you don't see me qualified enough to take care of you?"

With her watery eyes, she shook her shakily and could not help but give Kiko a tight hug around her waist.

Both Karin and Akemi were around 5 feet tall and Kiko was quite close to 6. Kenji seemed to be in the middle with about 5 and half feet in height.

"Okay, okay. Don't cry when you meet someone new," Kiko said as she rubbed her tears off of her face.

"Um"

"Right, Alex, I have a good news for you. Before we arrive at the city, we will leave this prisonment and free ourselves. Do you want to join us?"

"You can free yourself? Then why did you get caught in the first place?"

"This you don't need to know right now. I only want to know whether you would like to join us or not?"

"Well, you are literally asking me, whether I want to live my life as a slave or gain freedom. I don't think it's that hard to choose."

"Good," Kiko nodded and continued, "Tomorrow evening, when we arrive near the top of the mountain peak, we will escape."

"Um, Kiko-san," Alex hesitated but seeing Kiko nod, he continued, "Well, Taki-san, the guy which is usually around me, is a good friend of mine. Can he also escape along with us?"

Kiko looked over in the direction of Taki, and thought for a moment.

Alex was quite tensed. He formed a good friendly pact with Taki, even though he was ordered to do so, yet Alex could not help but try to return back his favor.

"Okay"

"Thank You, Kiko-san."

"No need, I might need your help with something in the future. Just see this as investing in your future. That's it. And your performance till now, was satisfactory."

"Hey, how come you get acquainted with the beauties out of nowhere?"

Taki held onto Alex's shoulder and asked with a sly expression.

"No it's nowhere close to what you think it is. I guess, she wants something from me and you can say that we were discussing how to proced up ahead. As for the specifics time will tell."

"Fine, fine. Well, whatever it is. By the way, you can atleast tell me the names of those, right?"

"Yeah, I guess. Well, the young lady is Kiko-san, the red haired girl is Karin, and the black hair cutie is Akemi."

Taki looked over in the direction of the ladies. Unknown to Kenji, a perverted expression formed on his face, but was quickly hidden when Kenji looked over at him, "You know, um, just be along side me for the couple of days till we reach the mountain's top. I can't tell you why, but just be there."

Taki saw the hesitation in Kenji voice, telling him not to ask the reason. He just nodded and the two continued on.

Late at night, Alex could not sleep and stared at the moon shining brightly in the night sky.

I keep thinking that about those girls… but where have I seen them…

Just by then, his sight fell on a shooting star in the sky and a thought striked him.

"Karin… the red haired… - fuck - I'm in Naruto World."
