207 6.1 Leap...! Leap...!! Leap...!!! Why Am I Leaping Like A Damn Toad?

The last moment that I saw that etched on my mind forever was Hiko-sama, Sango, Kikyo and Inuyasha, were talking in the garden right after they had left me in the living room. I was standing by the doorway looking at them and sort of putting my hand out to wave and bade them farewell as the blue light started to envelop me from my centre mass.

The blue light had a warm and fuzzy feeling as it spreads out to my fingers and toes. I closed my eyes in anticipation as I would not know where I would end up after this. As the feeling died down, I slowly opened up my eyes and slowly adjusted to the light and blurry figures in front of me.

When everything had focused, I was shocked...! Here I was... Back in the Edo period...! In the doorway of the house belonging to Hiko Seijuro...! "Eeeehhh...?!? What happened right now...?!? I am supposed to Leap to another era, but why am I still here...?!?"

I looked at my hands and feet and it still remained like a kid. I looked at my clothes and it was still fitting for a child. I subconsciously grope for my crotch and found that I still have my Odachi and nuggets...!

"Why...?! Max...! Where the fuck are you...?! Why am I still here...?! I thought the leap would take me elsewhere... Where are you, Max...?! Goddammit...!!!"

"Oi... Kid!! What the hell are you mumbling and talking to yourself about...? You are still here... So why are you asking 'Why am I still here?'... You didn't go anywhere and you were standing at the doorway like for a few minutes already... Come here and sit here and have a cup with me... "

I was stupified and shocked. I really don't know how to explain these things, even to the readers out there. It never happened before and once I Leap, I would end up somewhere else in another body.

But now... I'm back in Himura Kenshin's body... There was a leap but why did I come back here again? Is there a bug in the system? Normally Max would be here to explain or maybe in chapters to come. But right now there's no other explanation but I was already now on the first chapter of volume two of this novel again.

Would there be another close to 100 chapters for this series alone before I make a successful Leap? I walked slowly and plopped down on the stool next to Hiko-sama.

"Hey, kid... What were you mumbling about just now? You didn't go anywhere... You were just standing at the doorway looking at us and somehow said you were here again? What actually happened?"

"Errr... I don't know Sensei...! I was supposed to Leap and leave this place and to go to another dimension, but yet I still ended up here in this era. Is there I need to do more in order to make a successful Leap?"

I explained as I was virtually scratching the top of my head as well as my face as if I had sudden itchiness that needs to be scratched out viciously.

"You were scratching like a monkey, right now. Leap? You mean you were supposed to leave this body and travel to another place, is that what you were trying to say to us?"

"Yeah, Sensei... It is supposed to be like that but I ended back in this body again... Errr... Did anything changed in that few minutes when I'm 'gone'?"

"Keh...this kiddo must be dreaming...! He just brought us to the Realm of Mind and then back here again and he ends up like a cuckoo...! Hey kid, are you alright up there?"

Inuyasha was pointing at his own head with one of his long fingernails and was gesturing and looking at me. I looked at him with a rather comical look as I was sitting there and not knowing what to explain. The whole Leap just now was unexplainable and unfathomable.

Hiko-sama poured me a cup of yumeshu and I took a sip, hoping to clear my mind and plan ahead. If I am still stuck in this body, means there are things that I need to accomplish, right? Thinking back I think there are three issues that I need to address right now.

One issue is the building of the warehouses and Deployment of new employees, the next is the drawings that I promised to Shippo to make it as a gift, and the next is Izumi. Urrrghhh... My head is splitting right now thinking of all these things that just happened after my Leap. "Must be a bug in the system that causes this." I thought to myself as I reflect back on what I need to do in this fresh chapter.

"Himura, you looked troubled. Is there you wanted to share? Your secrets are safe with us. The Shikon no Tama is safe where it belonged there in the Realm of Mind." Sango asked as she looked at me quizzically and was wondering why I looked so glum after leaving the Realm of Mind.

"Yes, Himura. You can share with us what's troubling you." Kikyo remarked as she looked worried at me, which was lively the moment before and now had turned glum all of a sudden.

"It is this Leap. When the system or my guardian thinks that I had accomplished a certain set of tasks, I would immediately leave this body and jump to the next, God knows where and the era that I would be transmigrated."

"But after I made the Leap, I ended up in the same body and era and as though its a continuity of a Leap, that I myself can't explain, at this moment. Whatever is the matter, I think I just continue what I am supposed to do right now."

"Oh... I myself don't know what to say but the light on your forehead seems to be a bit diminished, not like the first time I saw it." Sango advised me as she saw the five-pointed star that represents my Third Eye seems to be a bit dim after the leap. I guessed I worried too much though.

"Let me wash up and return, be right back..." I excused myself and went to the kitchen area which was now bare without the rocket stove that I had it removed for the outdoor kitchen to use. I reached for the Karada Soap and washed my face at the sink. The invigorating and refreshed feelings came back after a while and I felt rejuvenated after I had rinsed my face

I reached for a face towel and was handed to me and when I looked, it was Max. "Goddamit Max...! What happened back there? Why was I still here after making the leap?"

"Well, Sam... This IS your current Leap. Seems you have to carry on what you were supposed to do and then make another Leap when everything is accomplished. I guessed the system needs you to be here to ensure everything is smooth."

"Gawwwwdddd... Luckily I didn't Leap before the time and got stuck in the snow again. Sheeesh Max...! I could have a heart attack thinking that I have to restart all over again."

"That's all to it now. I'd be catching up with you soon or you could come over to my trailer right after this and grab a Starbucks Frappuccino if you wished to. Toddles Doo my friend..."

With that, Max disintegrated into particles before he totally vanished on the kitchen area. I replaced the towel and joined the rest.

"You looked much better now, Himura. Your light seems brighter than just now." Kikyo mentioned to me as she saw a dramatic change from my gloomy appearance earlier.

"Well, it seems so right? Hmm... Anyone hungry at this moment?"

I looked at the one and it showed close to midday and I saw Shippo and a Kohaku walking towards us with a huge sketchpad that the latter was carrying. "Himura, we're back...! Look at what we got from the stationery shop...! This is the biggest sketchpad that was sold there..."

Kohaku placed the sketchpad aside and the duo joined us at the garden. I glanced back and saw the 'aunties' preparing lunch and was bringing them over for us as we anticipated what's for lunch today.
