36 2.13- Raise the Flicker of Hope, Kagome...!!!

Kagome was wandering in the forest when she heard Kenzo's name being mentioned through the loudspeaker. Hearing the dull boom sounded earlier when she came to and later she heard that one player had been assassinated, she was close to losing hope.

She was wandering aimlessly through the forest, no idea where she was heading and just hoping to find signs of life besides her trampling through the forest.

Dead leaves and twigs were in her hair and made it look like a wretched witch rather the girl next door kind of look. With stains of tears that had run down her face earlier, she looked like a cute little fluffy puppy that had lost its way and was whimpering to look for its owner. The director made me skip the whitish, yellowish and greenish snot on Kagome's face as it was really unbecoming of a cute girl. So we decided on the snot part to be skipped. Anyways, the Director seemed to take part in this exciting part of the story as well. "Haiyoo... Don't be so kaypoh* la..."

(La = is used as an expression)

The moment Kagome heard about Kenzo's name mentioned through the loudspeaker... (am I repeating myself here?) she felt a glimmer of hope but wasn't too sure of where to locate the whereabouts of Kenzo; even for her own whereabouts too. She had no idea how to place markers or even to make distinguished signs to make others aware that there is someone searching or waiting to be found throughout this jungle.

Moreover, she had a flint and magnesium striker that could be used to light fires. As it is still daytime, she guessed that making smoke would be the next best thing to be located. So she gathered some tinder and kindling from the ground and make a small mound. She used the flint and magnesium striker and a few sparks flew from it and ignited the tinder and kindling. She then picked a few twigs and small sticks and then some other woods and stacked into a teepee kind of design.

A fire was quickly underway and due to the wood underneath, it emitted a lot of smoke and little fire. Judging from the smoke that trailed through the forest and since its daytime, she decided to move away from the smoke as it indicates an incoming sea breeze that blows inland.

In other words, if it's late in the evening or night, the breeze would be changed from blowing outwards to sea and called Land breeze. Hey, at least we learned a survival tip in case we got lost in the jungle if we were in a PUBG kind of scenario right?

Judging from the direction of the smoke, other than letting others of her current location as well as exposing herself to be found by assassins, she took the risk no matter how since hearing Kenzo's name being mentioned through the loudspeaker. And hearing that the voice had sent an assassin to seek Kenzo out, her heart skipped several beats and cold sweat seemed to stream from her back.

Calculating from the smoke, she walked away from it for about 100 paces or so and lighted another similar to the one she had made earlier.

"Hey, little girl... Or should I call you Kagome Kuwahara...! Are you trying to smoke out my vision so that you can hide away?! Are you trying to burn the forest down?! Do you not scared of the Green peace corps running after your sorry ass?! Hey Little Kagome... Where are you going? Where are you hiding? What are you doing? Come back to papa Little Kagome girl... Let me hold you, touch you and give you pleasure as I pressed the buttons that will excite you... "

The voice was literally spewing out lewd intentions to poor Kagome as her eyes wildly looked around her and half expecting an old fat man with bulging stomach and balding head, breath stinking of unwashed mouths with yellow stained cigarette smoking teeth and short grubby hands; clad in a short and stained unwashed underwear while beckoning her to come towards him while holding out candies on one hand.

Kagome squirmed at the wild thoughts that played in her mind and a sudden burst of goosebumps appeared on her body. This Director has however depicted a horrid felon next door type of character that would scare the wits out of anybody that comes in contact! Ewwwww...

Unknowingly to Kagome, those who heard the loudspeaker also turned into making small fires and soon a blanket of smoke covered the jungle and partly covered the visions of the PTZIR cameras.

"Look at what you had done Kagome!!! Now everybody was burning up the forest because of you!?!" bellowed the electronic voice through the loudspeakers.

Kagome then realized that making smoke right now is like screening the cameras from viewing and all she could do was to make as many little fires for every 100 paces so that she can use it as a signal or use it as a guide heading towards the sea at the edge of the island.

However, signs of seagull didn't exist yet during this period and she was far inland than she thought. After making numerous little fires, the labour she undertook finally took a toll as thirst began to rear its ugly head. However, the Director was kind enough to materialize some low coconut trees that Kagome could pluck.

So as Kagome trudged on she saw a few low coconut trees in the distant and almost stumbled her way across there. She managed to pluck a few of the overhanging coconuts and with her folding pocket knife, she bored a hole at the top of a coconut shell. Reaching the core, she hit the inner shell a few times before the coconut juice ejected in a stream. She gulped the juice down and drained every single drop. Once the coconut was drained, she hit the coconut against some rocks and managed to crack it.

The sight of the white meaty flesh of the coconut was so inviting the moment it met her sights as she used her folding pocket knife to cut and scrape the contents. She ate the contents noisily despite the likes of a civilized city girl. Well, this is one of a scene she remembered when she watched a documentary show on YouTube called "How to survive a shipwreck"... Or else how she going to crack open a coconut to drink its liquid and eat the flesh?

She decided to open another coconut to satiate her thirst and hunger first before cracking a few to remove the husk while leaving the core intact.

After feeling full and bloated at the moment, she decided to make a small fire next to her as dusk was soon approaching. She soon heard the electronic voice on the loudspeakers that announced Kenzo had managed to cut down the assassin assigned by the voice. It was congratulating Kenzo for the fact that he managed to annihilate a top tier assassin and at the same time cursing him in return for reducing the number of assassins.

Kagome let a smile drawn on her lips as she thought of her Kenzo had not been a letdown at all. She hurriedly gathered about 3 coconut cores, stuffed it in her satchel bag and began her journey against the billowing trail of smoke.

Two steps forward, one step back... A song suddenly came into Kagome's mind as she hummed and paced 100 steps before making another small fire.....
