14 Take Me Home

"...Leo...?"

"The one and only! It's Sole now though. And not the foot sole, it means sun in Italian." He still had the same playful grin as always.

Kanna thought it to be funny. She tried to die as fast as possible to get away from him only to meet him again in her next life. A mocking smile crept up on her still pale skin.

"So it was you who ordered these people to kidnap me?"

"As expected of my Kanna-chan! You're so smart!"

He said it in a cutesy voice and it made him look cute instead of cool because he even had a little canine sticking out of his mouth.

"But how did you know I would somehow teleport to Pheonix?"

"The power of Lov--"

Before he could finish what he was about to say, a black tentacle gagged his mouth with another grabbing his right ankle and hoisting him upside down.

"MFMMFMFMFMMF!!" Leo could only make muffled noises and squirm about. After Kanna had done this, she immediately vomited in front of herself again. She glued herself even more to the metal chair in fear of stepping on her puke.

Leo took this chance and a burst of flame spawned out of his hand which he used to cut the black tentacle. He did a mid-air backflip before landing with his arms outstretched and his feet firmly planted on the concrete floor.

"Safe!" After that, another burst of flame came out of his hand before burning all the vomit that had previously surrounded her.

"Now may we go."

"Take me home."

"And where would that be?"

"Somewhere in Japan."

"Where in Japan?"

Kanna pondered for a bit. She then put on a mortified face when she realized something really, really, really important. She said 'really' three times which meant that it was really important. She had no idea where in Japan her house was located.

Leo noticed the change of expression on her face and already had an idea on the situation.

"You don't know?"

"Nope."

"Not at all?"

"..."

The two stared at each other for a while. If anyone were to come across this scene they would be extremely confused as to why 2 foreign children were in an abandoned warehouse with two dead bodies behind them.

A silence ensued between and was quickly broken when a boy seemingly 11 years old, appeared in a child-sized tuxedo and a vintage bottle of wine in his right hand and a wine glass in his left. He had a flushed face probably from the alcohol that a child his age should obviously not be drinking and was stumbling a bit.

"Ooh... There you are, Kanna..." After he said that, instead of fainting or saying that he would take Kanna home. He squatted down and poured himself some wine from his bottle.
