Izumo was behind his bar cleaning the counter when Yata and the rest came in. "Where here!" Yata shouted.

"Yes. I hear you loud and clear Yata." Izumo said.

"Did you shout only because you think Izumo's old and can't hear?" Kamamoto said.

"Old?" Izumo said with a smile on his face.

"I never said that! He's lying !" Yata said getting nervous.

"But you said so yourself, Yata-san. You told me that Izumo is old." Kamamoto said sitting next to Anna who was sipping her morning juice.

"I never said that! I said that whenever I enter the bar I see it how it was back then. The bar doesn't look old. I never said Kusanagi was old!You tubby!" Yata said going over to Kamamoto and hitting him behind the head.

"Well thank you Yata. But I'm not old." Izumo said with still the same smile.

"I-I understand." Yata said frightened.

"Mr. Kusanagi can we take Anna out today to play in the Arcade." Yata asked.

"No." Izumo said.

"Why not?" Bando asked.

"The weather said that it's going to snow today later on. And I don't want you guys to get lost." Izumo said sitting down in the couch.

"But it rained yesterday." Yata said.

"The weather's crazy Yata." Izumo said.

A costumer came in. Izumo quickly got up and went behind the counter. "Welcome!" He greeted. "What can I help you with?"

"Actually I'm here only for a few questions." The young man said. He looked like he was around his twenties. The man had green hair, brown eyes, he wore simply black pants, a wristband that was brown and gray, a black and gray striped shirt with a black coat.

"And those are?" Izumo said knowing that this guy was either going to ask about how he kept his bar so clean and beautiful or about something serious. Well his bar is serious to him but of something else instead of his bar.

"Whose the strongest from all of you?" The man asked.

"Excuse me?" Izumo said.

"Oh sorry I haven't introduced myself. My name is Haruto Datta. Nice to meet you." Haruto said.

"I'm-" Izumo was about to say his name when he got cut off.

"Izumo Kusanagi. Yes I know." Haruto said.

"How do you know that?" Izumo said getting serious now.

"Not important so who's the strongest?" He asked again.

"What's it up to you?" Izumo said.

"Don't make me ask again." Haruto said getting serious as well.

"Miko- I mean Izumo." Yata said. "Why?"

"I was just wondering if you would like to become a clan with me." Haruto said taking a seat across from Izumo from the bar.

"Who exactly are you?" Izumo asked.

"My name is Haruto Datta like I said. I'm the Green king."

"The Green King? What do you do? Trying to help the planet? Don't worry we recycle and we don't litter." Yata said laughing.

"No thank you." Izumo said smiling at Yata's comment.

"You guys are weak without powers." Haruto said getting mad now.

"No were not." Yata said.

"Then I challenge you, Izumo to a fight." Haruto said.

"Hey I'm the one who said that were not! challenge me!" Yata said getting up but sitting right back down when Kamamoto placed his hand on his shoulder and pulled him down.

"Yata don't cause more trouble than it is." Kamamoto whispered.

"Oh yeah I forgot. You don't have any powers now do you. Not after what happened to Mikoto." Haruto said staring at Izumo. "Never really met the guy. I heard he was the scariest and the strongest guy. Even when it came to being king. I also saw that he died with a smile in his face. How cool for a guy right?"

"I don't know what your talking about." Izumo said with a serious face.

"Yes you do. That day you went back to where he was fighting Munakata and started to look for him. There was a pile of blood but no sign of the Red King. You assumed that he vanished. Well we all did. But we might be wrong."

"What do you mean?" Izumo said remembering that he saw the red fire healing Anna's hand.

"No Blood. No Bone. No ash." Haruto said smirking. "At the end it came to that didn't it?"

Izumo then started to roll up his sleeves.

"So you changed your mind. You do want to fight me now." Haruto said laughing. "But how are you going to so that?"

"Like any other normal guy." Izumo said now rolling up the left side.

"You where once normal, Izumo. But ever since you had powers from the king...you'll never be a normal guy again." Haruto said.

"What are you going to do?" Fujishima whispered to Izumo.

"I'm going to fight fist with fist with this guy. Like how I used to when I was in middle school, and high school." Izumo said.

Haruto then got up. "You ready?" Izumo gave a nod.

"I don't allow fighting in my bar so if you don't mind we could fight outside." Izumo said.

Haruto just sighed. "So that's one of the reasons why this bar is so clean and unscratched. By the way I've been meaning to ask you. Who's that little girl that looks like a pretty doll." Haruto then pointed at Anna.

"Someone who is very important to me and I would never let anything happen bad to her." Izumo said smiling at Anna.

"So your her dad." Haruto said with a bored face.

"You could say that." Izumo said opening the door so they could fight outside. "Yata get Anna and go upstairs."

"But Mr-" Yata began.

"Now Yata." Izumo said.

"Yes sir." Yata then grabbed Anna's hand. "Let's go Anna." But Anna wouldn't move. "Anna?" Yata said. "Izumo told me to take you upstairs. Now."

"To make it a fair fight I won't use my powers against you." Haruto said. Everyone was inside the bar except for Izumo and Haruto who where outside preparing to fight.

"Don't you have a clan already?" Izumo asked.

"A few people actually." Haruto answered. "Let's make a bet...If you land at least 5 punches on me then you don't have to join me. But if you don't and I end up beating you then I take the little girl with me."

"Don't bring Anna into this." Izumo said with fierce eyes.

"I was going to say that you would join me and do whatever I say you know to make you guys miserable, but you guys need something more important like something dear to your lives. And that little girl is the key." Haruto explained.

"Fine deal" Izumo said.

"Mr. Kusanagi! What are you saying? What if he cheats and uses his powers?" Shohei shouted.

"I was getting to that. In the deal you have to mention that you can't use any powers. And if you do then the deals off and Kamamoto will go up to the phone and call the Blues." Izumo said putting his glasses in position.

"Fine." Haruto said.

"Anna. Let's go upstairs." Yata said.

"I want to see Izumo." Anna said quietly.

Yata just looked down at Anna and back to Izumo. "OK well watch him. But if things get out of control then we have to go upstairs." Anna just simply nodded. Everyone focused on Izumo and Haruto.

"Let's get started." Haruto said.

Izumo ran up to Haruto and landed a punch right in his left cheek. "Alright that's one." Yata said smiling. Izumo then punched Haruto's right cheek. "Two punched. This guy is going down."

"Yata don't you think somethings up?" Kamamoto said.

"What do you mean?" Yata asked letting go of of Anna's hand.

"What I mean is maybe this guy has something up his sleeve." Kamamoto said.

"No!" Yata said punching Kamamoto's right shoulder. But right when Kamamoto said that, Yata wasn't so sure that Izumo was going to win now.

Haruto then grabbed Izumo's both hands and his knee hits Izumo's stomach. Haruto then kicks him making Izumo almost loose his balance but doesn't fall. "That's all your going to get." Haruto tells Izumo walking towards him. Haruto makes a fist with his right hand and punches Izumo in his right cheek. Then again in his right cheek. And again. He does it five times in a row and let's go, leaving Izumo's right cheek very red.

Izumo starts walking towards Haruto and was about to punch him when Haruto catches his fist. "Your only going to land those two punches on me and thats it." Haruto said softly. Haruto then gets Izumo's collar and hold him up but then lets go but is now punching Izumo with both fists in the face. Haruto then starts to laugh. He stops punching Izumo and throws him in front of the bar where everyone is shocked. "Guess I win huh?" Haruto said.

"Mr... ?" Kamamoto says shocked.

"Hey ..get up." Yata says with tearful eyes. "Get up! You don't them to take Anna do you?"

"He's not getting up. He's done for." Haruto says with a smirk on his face.

"No. Mr. Kusanagi. Hey can you hear me?" Yata asks keeping his eyes on Izumo.

"Yata...I don't think he can hear you." Dewa said sadly.

"What? No your wrong he can. No time for games!" Yata tries one more time.

"Yata." Eric says looking over to Yata then back at Izumo.

"Hey!Come on get up! Stop playing around. Is this a joke? Haha. There I laughed now get up." Yata keeps saying.

"Yata." Eric says again a little louder.

"No! He's going to get up! I know he is!" Yata yells at Eric.

"Look at him." Kamamoto says. "He's all beat up."

Yata then looks at Izumo and his eyes widen a little. "Hey come on get up! your not going to leave us are you! Your the only person we have! Tatara's not here. Mikoto's not here. Your not gonna leave...are you?"

Izumo then lifts his head but struggles. He then looks at Anna and sees that Yata didn't take her upstairs. He sees Anna do something that shocks him. Even though Anna doesn't show expression on her face Izumo saw it. And no one else did. They where all too focused on him. Anna was scared. She had the same expression on her when they where at Ashinaka High School and there was unexpected explosions and he remembers her sitting in a chair frightened. He remembers her trembling and he didn't want to see her like that again. She was scared that he might not get up and was too injured. And how there going to take her away. No way he's going to let anyone do that!Especially Haruto and Scepter 4.

"Izumo please get up." Anna says softly. No one heard her say that except Izumo.

Izumo starts to get up and stand up. He starts to run after Haruto. He then punches Haruto in the right cheek. "No Blood." He punches Haruto in the left cheek this time. "No Bone." Finally he punched him on the stomach. "No Ash!"

"Damn." Haruto says kneeling sown. "That was unexpected. You get to keep the girl."

"Yata's right. I'm not leaving." Izumo said.

"Alright!" Yata says and the rest cheer for Izumo.

"Mark my word though...I will come back stronger. When you get your powers back." Haruto says. Izumo was the only one who heard him because everyone was too busy cheering inside the bar.

"Yata close the bar." Izumo says giving a smile to Yata. Yata goes to the door and changes the sign 'Open' to 'Close'.

"Are you hurt ?" Kamamoto asks.

"I'll be okay. Don't worry." Izumo says going to Anna and carrying her. "Thanks Anna. You made me win." He whispers.

"Look its snowing." Yata says pointing outside.

Izumo then puts Anna down. "All right I'll make hot chocolate." Izumo says going to the kitchen. Five minutes later Izumo comes back with a cup of hot chocolate for everyone but of course he had to go back and get the rest since he couldn't carry all of them. He also gave everyone a cup coaster. They sat down and started to talk when a shadow of a person was coming inside the bar.

"Sorry where closed." Izumo said putting the cup down in the cup coaster. The man opened the door anyways and walked in. He took three steps in and the door slowly closed. They saw that the man was bloody and the blood was dripping onto the floor and then everyone saw who it was and everyone was shocked.

"Sorry for all the mess..Izumo." The man said.

"Mikoto?"
