Kouta and Yuka were at the hospital, talking to the doctors in charge of the silver-haired guy. They had rushed him off to the hospital as quickly as they could. They had to bring Mayu along with them, but Kouta was afraid to bring Nyu to the hospital. He was afraid that someone might recognize her.
"Is he going to be okay?"
"Well, he somehow acquired a chest wound from a sword. What's perturbing to me is that why he has a sword wound in the first place. That's the only wound he has though, and it not life threatening. Fortunately it avoided hitting any vital organs, so he is going to recover soon. Now could you excuse me for a while? I have to file a report that some Weirdo is maiming people with a sword." He turned to go.
"Can we see him now?"
"Sure. He has made a splendid recovery, quicker than it should have been actually. We are letting him go soon. He's in room 113.
"Thank you." Kouta, Yuka and Mayu walked out of the doctor's office and walked through the blindingly white hallways of the hospital. They stopped when they came to 113 and entered. The sliver-haired person was at the end of the room, with bandages around his chest. He looked up when they came in.
"I guess I owe you guys."
"How are you feeling?" Yuka asked, concerned for his well-being.
"Good considering that I've been slashed by a sword-wielding psycho. I don't know why he did it; I was minding my own business when this guy walks up and slashes at me. I managed to land a blow on the guy and then I ran as fast as I could. Then I collapsed on your front door. Then when I woke up, I was here."
Kouta frowned. "Do you even know that guy who attacked you?"
"No, it was just a random guy. It turns out though I'm not out of the woods yet. The hospital started asking questions, like where I live and stuff. I didn't know how to answer them."
Yuka was the one who frowned this time. "You don't have a home?"
The silver-haired kid smiled sadly. "Not anymore. It's been like that for a long time. I've been living life the best I can; it's all I can do just to live."
"Where are you going to go once you get out of the hospital?"
"I'll manage somehow."
The doctor came in. "Well, you can leave now um..."
"My name is Raigon."
"Yeah Raigon, you can leave whenever you want to now."
"I think I will stay here for a while thanks. I'll leave soon, but I need some rest."
"Okay then, but you have to get back on your feet soon. That's enough visiting for one day; he seems to want his rest."
"We will make it brief. Just give us another minute."
Yuka turned to Kouta. "What will we do about Raigon? We can't just leave him here?"
"Yuka, we can't take this guy home! We aren't a boarding house."
"I think he should stay with us" Mayu piped in "he really likes him."
"I know he doesn't have a home, but we will help him out a bit. I won't abandon him, but we can't really afford to become a boarding house."
"You don't seem to have a problem when it's a girl."
Kouta opened his mouth, and then closed it as he realized that he could not say anything more without looking like a pervert. Yuka had pulled a good one on him. He let out a defeated sigh. "Alright then, he stays."

Helen was going walking out of the hideout when Incendo spoke up.
"Where are you going?"
"I'm going to check on Raigon. See if he has successfully infiltrated Lucy's family yet."
Incendo snorted. "You and I both know that not why you are going out. You don't particularly care about Raigon anyway, and besides, I always set up Marco for these kinds of jobs. You've been with us long enough to know the routine. So where are you going?"
"I'm just going out for a walk. There's nothing wrong with a little fresh air." She turned towards the entrance, only to find Incendo standing in front of the door. A flash of anger showed on her face. She really hated him when he did that.
"A little walk that might have you killed. You know it's that kind of attitude that gets us into situations like what happened with Marco."
"I can take care of myself Incendo. I'm not an infant you know."
"It's not just you I'm worried about. You're actions could jeopardize the entire-"
"Don't you let out this crap about the entire team? You don't care about the team as a whole. You didn't exactly hesitate to send Raigon on that mission."
"It's different with him. As far as I know, he does not have..."
"What about it? You're telling me that because of it, it makes me going out for a walk and Raigon going for a walk so vastly different? I can fight as well as he can if I'm missing an arm!"
"I really don't want you to test that theory, Helen, not could you please stay inside?"
"I don't want to!"
"I'm telling you to stay." Incendo threatened.
"I want to go out!" At the end of this shriek, a flash of light sped towards Incendo, who did not have time to dodge the oncoming missile.

Marco was outside looking at the ocean when he heard a huge explosion come from inside the abandoned Whorf. He rushed through the back door, terrified that they had been finally found out.
"Incendo, we've got to get out of here..." He stopped his sentence short as he looked upon the scene. Incendo was standing unharmed in the middle of some rubble. A clear circular hole was echoed in the roof. Around the hole, scorches were seen clearly around the areas that did not get directly hit. Marco cursed himself for forgetting Helen's temper. Now he would have to fix the hole in the roof. He always ended up being the janitor of Helen's rage-filled rampages; he was sort of the "unofficial cleaner". That really made him mad when he thought about it, so he tried not to. Incendo looked up at Marco. He had one arm on the right wrist of Helen, who was bursting with rage. Incendo then turned to look at Helen directly in the face. After staring at his mask for what seemed like an eternity, she yelled at him again. "Fine, have it your way!" She walked off into a corner, pouting. Incendo walked over to where she was and started talking to her. Eager to hear what was transpiring, Marco turned into his gas form and snaked until he was a couple of feet away. Incendo was talking to Helen, apparently apologizing. "I know how you feel, but can't you at least understand how I feel everyone once and a while. I..." He stiffened. "Do you really want her to get pissed again? I suggest you stop spying on us and fix the roof, otherwise, I won't calm her down next time." Everyone knew that Incendo was the only one capable of calming Helen down.
"Okay, okay! I'll fix the damn roof!" Marco went off to get some wood, muttering under his breath as he did so. Incendo turned back to Helen.
"Anyway, you know how I feel about you walking around for no good reason like that. It makes me feel nervous."
Helen scoffed. "Only, you don't get nervous Incendo. Unless..."
"It's not him, if that what you're thinking. He's dead and gone."
"Do you honestly believe that he died so easily? I've only came across two people who could calm me down so easily. Only you and that man could do it. He's still alive, although I don't know what he's up to. You know just as well as I do that if he had died, you would know about it."
Incendo sighed. "I know. It's just easier to hope that he is dead. They never found his body, and they did not really want to pursue the matter. It was easier for them to hope he was dead; it always is."
"Thinking of him takes me back. I remember when we first met."
"Your face looked almost as bad as mine when I found you."
Helen smiled sadly. "Yeah, I looked pretty bad when you found me."
"That's why I can't blame you for killing those kinds of people."
********************************************
Marco was carrying his wooden boards back from the city. He hated walking to the city. It was a good amount of miles from the wharf, and he did not have a car. Incendo could not have done anything better to get Marco out of eavesdropping range. Marco could not have helped listening in to their conversation; to tell the truth, he was jealous of those two. He really liked, and still liked, Helen a lot. Although he found out the hard way that he could not deal with her temper. He still had scars from that occasion, and after the incident, his hair would not come down for a long time. Still, he knew how Incendo felt about her. He had known her long before Marco had met either of them. He tried to stop thinking about her. She was one of the few things that pissed him off. Well actually, it would be more precise to say that thinking of Incendo and Helen at the same time pissed him off. He trudged along, hoping he would get back before nightfall.

"And this is the kitchen..." Yuka was showing Raigon around the house. Raigon was pretty happy to learn that his living quarters were quite spacious. Kouta had then suggested showing him around the rest of the house. Kouta had to clean the bathrooms, so Yuka was the one who ended up showing him around. "And there are the bathrooms. Can you find your way around now?"
"I think so." Raigon said charmingly.
"Now living here, you will have to do your part and help clean the house. I know it's a bit soon, but could you help out tomorrow?"
"Sure. I'm a bit tired right now. I guess I'll just go to bed."
"Alright, But wake up for dinner though."
"I will." Raigon went to his room and closed the door. Yuka smiled at him as he left. She really liked him: He seemed like a really nice guy. "It's good to have another male in the house; he can help me keep Kouta in line." Yuka went to help Mayu with preparing dinner.
********************************************
Raigon went into his room and flopped down onto his [Bed]. He was really angry with having to be here. He wants some action. Incendo took that away very quickly. Not only that, but he set it up so that he would have to stay with humans he could not kill. Sure, they didn't seem like the normal people he encountered. But they were human like the rest of them. Some hid it better than others, but deep down, all humans were greedy and wanted power and would do anything to curb their hunger for those things. Even that girl, Yuka was a human. He shook his head to clear the thought. "What is with me? Snap out of it! I'm Raigon! A bitomix! I will not think of a human being on equal terms with me! I'm the true human!" Raigon lay under the blankets and tried to calm the turmoil in his mind.

Nana washed up on the beach. She was puzzled. She did not know why she was here. After the battle with Lucy, they brought her back to facility, where Kurama had outfitted her with makeshift arms and legs. She still had some trouble controlling theme; sometimes she tripped or they feel off. She looked inside the pod that had carried her away from the island. Inside she found a pack of green paper and a note from Kurama. "Nana, I'm sorry it has to be like this, but things have come to this. After your failure at apprehend Lucy, he ordered you to be killed. Worse yet, he has sent out replacements to apprehend Lucy. I don't know who they are, but apparently they have insane abilities of their own. I could not allow you to die like that, so I snuck you out against his wishes. I have included a substantial amount of money in the pod. I hope you are able to live out your life in peace, even though I suspect you won't.
"Papa..." She stood there shocked for a moment. Then she heard a voice behind her.
"Those horns; are with like her?"
Nana turned around shocked. Standing 2 meters away was a man that had brown hair and wearing a scowl. He was holding a gun.
"I'm not going to ask you again: are you with her?"
