the next day, the three woke up to find kenji cooking breakfast "good morning " kenji greeted as he finished frying the meat
"wow that smells delicious " kaito saidbas he sat down and took a plate "yeah, they really are" akari replied as she began eating the fried meat
"I'm glad you liked it" kenji replied as he began handing out the plates filled with rice, fried meat and vegetables while amaya akari and kaito began eating
after breakfast amaya and kaito began tidying up while kenji and akari began washing the dishes , after they finished cleaning up , they begin to pack up and head on their way to the cave
after a few hours of walking and hiding from guards , they finally managed to see the entrance of the cave from where they were standing though there were many guards watching near it
the four of them began to hide under the snow and slowly creep up to the entrance . inch by inch they get closer and closer until amaya suddenly sneezes loudly , catching the attention of the guards as they see them
"there they are!!!" one guard shouts as they all began to run after kaito , akari ,amaya and kenji who were also running while dodging the attacks of the guards
while running , akari suddenly had an idea "hey kenji" akari called out to kenji who was dodging the guards attacks "what is it" kenji asked , dodging a fire ball
"I need you to blast me high in the air" akari replied "what ?why ?" kenji asked , dodging anther attack "just trust me ,I have a plan" akari replied
"well fine , if you say so" kenji replied as he used wind manipulation to launch akari high into the . after being launched , akari used the snow and with the help of ice manipulation , turned them into ice shard that he then blasted like arrows to the guards , pinning many of them to the trees
"Wow that was incredible akari!" Amaya said as she gasped, in awe "thats my girl" kaito mumbled quitely as he prepared to catch her
Kaito caught akari with ease "where did you learn that akari?" Amaya asked as akari stood up
"I learnt it from a friend i met" akari said while kaito's hand was still on her waist as she got up
Akari blushed slightly before she snapped back into reality and began helping kenji attack the remaining guards
Kaito and amaya also joined in attacking the guards, fire and water blasting as they all fought together
Akari used her wind manipulation to launch herself into the air again as she threw ice shurikens at the guards, pinning the rest of them to the trees
The four of them immediately ran to the cave together to get away and hide from the guards
As they entered the cave, they saw it was dark as they went further inside
"Its so dark here" amaya said as she bumped into akari, unable to see in the dark cave
"Don't worry i got it" kaito said as his palms light up and produced fire which became their source of light
"Good thinking kaito" kenji said, now able to see clearly with the light
Akari copied the technique and also made a fire to use as a second source of light
"We'll need to get some wood so me and amaya will also have a light of our own in case we get lost" kenji said as he picked up a dry piece of wood that was long and perfect to use as a torch
"That's a great idea" akari said as she used the her fire to light up the stick which became a torch
"I found one too" amaya said as she held up a stick which kaito lit up for her with his fire
"Now let's get going" kenji said as they all began to make their way deeper into the cave
After a while, a low rumble shook the whole cave. "What's happening?!" Amaya asked, startled
"I don't know" akari said as the rumble grew louder as the cave shook. The four of them immediately ran to find an exit
Suddenly a pile of rocks caused them to get seperated, akari on the left, kaito on the right, amaya in another tunnel and kenji in a different tunnel
"Hello?!! Are you guys still there?!!!" Akari shouted as she got up and tried to find a way out
There was no response and she decided to find her way out and venture into this mysterious cave
