I'm really sorry for my bad grammar. I've fixed it now. Hope it's better now.

5 days had passed since Akira and Tokito arrived in Osaka. They were accepted by the villagers, and Tokito's behavior slowly changed. It was Saturday, so Akira did not go to work. A man with blonde hair and high geta came to the town. He has a sword on his weist. The end of the sword was covered with a cloth.
"Excuse me, have you seen Julian?" The man asked
"I'm sorry, I've never heard a man with that name in this town. Maybe you should ask Akira about it." The woman answered
"Who's Akira?" he asked
"Akira is a villager here too. He knows a lot about the outside. I'll show you his house. It's not far from here." She replied
"Oh, thanks" he said
They walked along the street and passed the shops. They reached a house and stopped in front of it.
"This is Akira's house. He's probably inside. I'm sorry, but I must go now. I hope that you find the man you're looking for." She said
"Thanks for all the trouble." He said
"No problem" she said and left the blonde.
"Akira? I think I've heard that name somewhere…." He thought and stared the house. He stood there for about five minutes. Eventually, a woman appeared behind him.
"Are you looking for someone?" the woman in pink kimono asked
"Is this Akira's house?" he asked
"Yes it is. Please come in, I'll take you to him." She said and led the way. She brought him to the backyard. A woman and a man were fighting there. Both of them used a double sword.
"Master Akira, forgive me for disturbing you. You have a guest." She said
Both of them stopped fighting and looked at the guest.
"Hotaru?" Akira asked
"Akira?" Hotaru asked back
"What are you doing here?" Akira asked
"This is your house?" Hotaru asked while gazing through the building
"Are you listening to me?" Akira asked
"It's big…" Hotaru said
"HOTARU!!" Akira shouted angrily
"What?" Hotaru asked and looked at Akira's angry face
"What are you doing here?" Akira asked, still in an angry voice
"I was looking for Julian." Hotaru replied
"Julian? What happened to him?" Akira asked, his voice went back normal now
"He went missing yesterday. Everyone went to look for him" Hotaru said
"I didn't see him in this town. None of the villagers have ever said about this thing" Akira said. "I'll go around and ask the villagers, then. Do you want to come, Hotaru, Tokito?"
"Sure" both of them replied.
They went out of the house and asked the villagers about it. None of them said yes. When they're just about to lose hope, they saw a place which was crowded. Because of their curiosity, they checked it out. They found out that the center of attraction was a man who sold weapons. He wore a strange outfit and he sang a strange song. He also played a shamisen.
"Ah, that's Julian" Hotaru said and pointed at the man.
"Julian? What are you doing here?" Akira asked
"Oh, Hotaru and Akira! Come and join me! Let's sing together" Julian answered
"No way!" Akira said
"Come on, I know you want to sing with me." Julian said as he approached Akira
"Stand back" Akira said. "Let's talk about this at my house, okay?" he said
"You? You have a house? Sure! I'll come" Julian said
Relieved, Akira led Julian and the others back to his house. Julian sang along the way and made the townspeople stared at him. He did not care, though. At the tatami room, they talked about this matter.
"Julian, why are you here? I thought you're in Kurama Mountains with your children and Hotaru" Akira asked
"Well, I got bored with the mountains, so I went out and eventually reached here." Julian replied
"Hotaru, what are you going to do now?" Akira asked the fire controller
"I don't know" Hotaru replied
"Why don't both of you go back to Kurama?" Tokito said
Hotaru paused and answered "I forget the way…"
"Oh god… Julian, do you still remember?" Akira asked
"Hmmm…. Yeah, I do. I am a master at digging, right? Julian said and laughed
"Then, will you take this guy back to Kurama, then?" Tokito asked
"Sure, sure. Oh yeah, Tokito. Let me see your sword." Julian said
"You mean this?" She said and gave him the swords
"Hm… I'll borrow this for a minute. Akira, do you have some forging equipment?" Julian asked
"Yeah, it's in the storehouse at the back." Akira replied
"Okay then. Oh, and give me your sword too, Akira." Julian said
"Here." Akira said and gave him his swords.
"Yap! I'll make these swords the best you've ever use!" Julian said and left
"Hey, give me …" Before Tokito can complete her words, Akira stopped her
"Don't worry. He's good at that." Akira said
"Yeah, even though he looks strange" Hotaru said
A few minutes later, Julian returned with the 4 swords. The swords looked stronger and had much greater aura.
"The aura's great, but it'll be easily recognized. Even a blind like me could know where it is. Can you somehow hide the aura?" Akira asked
"Sorry, but I'm not good at that stuff. Muramasa's good at it. I don't know how he did it…" Julian replied
"But, thanks anyway." Akira said
"No problem. Hotaru, let's go home." Julian said
"But…" Hotaru refused
"Come on, let's go." Julian said and pulled Hotaru until he got on his feet
"Those guys…" Akira said
"Can we continue our fight now?" Tokito asked
"Sure. Come." Akira said
Tokito and Akira fight again until night. A few days after Hotaru and Julian came to Osaka, the others also went there. Apparently, those two told the others about Akira and Tokito in Osaka. Almost all of them visited Tokito and Akira, but Kyo, Kyoshiro and Sakuya came there the most. Even though Tokito's cold at Sakuya at first, she actually got along well with the miko.
