(the man in the red cloak continued)
"What! I couldn’t have slept all day!" I gazed around, it was dark. "Darn, already dark." I sat cross legged and wiped my cheeks where the now dry tears were. It was starting to get hot, hotter and hotter. "Huh?" I sniffed “That’s a lot of smoke for a simple fire.” I stood up ‘the only time there’s a really big fire is… the ceremony!!’ “I couldn’t have slept for three days!” I dashed out side so quickly that when my feet hit the dirt I slipped and fell “Ow!” I squeaked, and sat up. I opened my eyes, only to be horrified.
Every tent was on fire, excluding mine. “W-wha-“ I jumped up and ran through the village, looking around I found that everyone was dead. Tears streamed down my face and I soon slowed to a stop. I wiped my eyes, ‘How could this have happened?’ I heard a scream, my mom’s scream. I ran, faster than ever in that direction, and just when I reached the outskirts of the village when I saw it. My father being slain…. By a man in a red cloak. My dad’s bloody body landed on my moms. “No.” I took a step forward. About 50 yards away the man in the red cloak turned his gaze to me. “You-“ I started, but he…. Disappeared. I ran toward my parents but was soon stopped. The man in the red cloak appeared in front of me when I was only a few yards from my deceased family, I fell backwards. He squatted next to me and smiled, it annoyed me, ‘How can he be smiling!!’ I jumped up and looked him straight in the eye.
“You have much courage to confidently face me when everyone else is dead.” He didn’t sound the type to sleigh a whole village.
He wiped my tears, “Crying will get you nothing in this world and neither will depending on others. Trust only yourself, and you will always end up as the one… alive.”
I backed up a step, and he stood up. “You never liked this life, this village. Now that there all gone you won’t have to deal with naive adults and rude misunderstanding kids
‘how did he kno-‘ my gaw dropped slightly.
“I did this for you Kiko.” He pated me on the head and disappeared leaving a pice of paper behind. I picked up the paper and walked over to my parents. I knelt there and remembered how my mom denied me reading lessons ‘Your too young’ she said ‘maybe when you a five.’ I tried to think of all the good times my family and I shared, I couldn’t think of a single one. “My whole life I haven’t liked them, could he be right? No, I mean my whole life isn’t much I’m only three.” I stood up and clutched the paper, ‘how did he know so much about me?’ I thought as the last of my village burned to a crisp. Only my tent stood. “Heh, I guess I’m officially leader of the Kohaku tribe”
