CHAPTER 3: HARUTO, THE MISSING HIMEJIMA
Well… I will admit something…
It's seems that I have difficulty when started making a new chapter… I actually have the idea… but, when I started writing in blank document on Microsoft word, I'm just stared blankly and confused about what sentences to write in the first paragraphs. Don't get me wrong, I already have the main point I that I should write, I am just having difficulty about what to write at the start of opening of the each new chapter. Just that.
I don't know about you guys. Maybe most amazing and professional writer can write it easily. But, I am just an amateur and I certainly found it not easy.
Well then, let's start with the story alright!

After the little blonde girl fall unconscious, Azazel takes a look to the injury of the black haired teen named Haruto, which Azazel found that his name and characteristic quite similar to Baraqiel's son that supposed to be missing. 'It couldn't be… right?' he thought with a frown, 'But, if what I'm thinking is true, then… no, I probably overthinking it. Maybe it's just a coincidence and he is Haruto from another world or another universe. I need to check his injury first, that thought can come later'.
When Azazel and Shemhazai looked at the unconscious young man clearly, they feel horrified. The injury this Haruto person sustained is quite severe. His entire left arm is gone, his chest is full of deep slash wounds and many of his ribs are damaged and could be seen, even both of them can nearly see his weak beating heart. His stomach has a hole that one thinks that he has been impaled by a huge lance which is penetrated until his back. His right leg from knee down is missing while his left leg bones are almost shattered considering the look of the amount of injury in it. His injury is really gruesome to watch.
"I will apply some healing magic to slow down his injury first! Shemhazai, get the little girl with you to the medical facility and call the healer paramedics to come here! Quick!" Shaking of his horrified stare, Azazel ordered Shemhazai, which the latter nodded and quickly left the lab while carrying the unconscious little blonde haired girl and go to calling their medic team from medical facility in hospital section on Grigori.
.
.
.
Azazel and Shemhazai were sitting outside of a room, on a bench. This room was an OR, stands for Operating Room, where one of the most proficient healers amongst the Fallen Angels doing their damned best to save the life of the black haired boy. Tamiel, one of the Fallen Angel leaders whose position is the Head of Business Department, is the one who trying his best to save the boy's life, as he also the best healer among the other cadre.
While sitting there, Azazel thought were running a few miles per second, 'Is he really Baraqiel son who went missing ten years ago? The description is almost matched. If that true, then it solved why we never find him, because for some unknown reason, he ended up in another world in another universe. Of course this might be just a conjecture. It can also that he is another Haruto with the same given name and share the same characteristic from parallel world with different background life, beside the little girl also calling him nii-sama, which means that she is his little sister. But then again, that is also another possibility. *sigh* this is confusing'. He also thought of more of some other theory and conjecture or possibility, but that only make him feeling a headache. The only answer he can get is when the little blonde girl is wake up, or if this Haruto can survive with his amount of injury.
The hours is almost midnight in a few minutes when the door of operation room opened, revealing a man which has blond hair, wears a robe with many ornaments, and wears a circlet. This man is Tamiel. He then comes over to both Azazel and Shemhazai, who's immediately stood up when they saw him.
"The little lady is going to be fine, she only have minor injury which is already healed, so her live is not in grave danger. She just overly exhausted herself." Tamiel told them.
"…And what about Haru- I mean the boy?" Azazel asked.
Tamiel expression suddenly turned grave, "To tell you the truth, he might not be able to survive until past midnight. His injury is fatal and far really worse. It's only a miracle he can survive until now." He explained.
Azazel then slumped on his seat, "I'm sorry little girl… it seems we can't save your brother's life…" he muttered while looking to the floor, his expression is bitter.
And that's when a middle-aged, gruff-looking man with black hair, matching beard and a muscular body entered inside, "Azazel , why do you call me to come here?" he asked.
"Baraqiel…" Shemhazai started to speak, but then stopped. Not entirely sure about what to say.
"Umm… we actually found… someone who… went missing several years ago." Azazel tried explaining to Baraqiel, which make the latter frowned and making the former to sweat profusely, "…But please don't get your hopes up… because…" he trailed off.
As Azazel tried to explaining to Baraqiel about what they have found, all the clockwise in the clock facing number twelve. Indicating that the time is already midnight.
And that's when something happened inside the operating room where the boy is tended, making the medical staff and the other paramedics yelled in surprise. Hearing the sudden commotion inside, the four cadre hurriedly enter the operating room.
"What happened?" Tamiel asked to one of the female medical staff.
"S-sir! L-look at the boy!" she answered nervously.
The four of them turned their head toward where the medical staff pointed her finger at.
What they see is surely making Azazel, Shemhazai, and Tamiel widen their eyes in astonishment while Baraqiel only stared in confusion, not understanding the situation.
The heavily injured boy that not long ago nearly at the death's door is surrounded by many formations of magical circles on his body. The shape of the magic circles is somewhat similar to clock in various sizes and colours whether it's small or big but with the clockwise rotating backward.
This happened for a several seconds before the magic circles disappear from the boy's body. The sight of the black haired boy now making them gaped in surprised again. Gone were the several wounds in his body, his left arm that supposed missing is replaced with a new arm with normal flesh, the many slash wounds on his chest is gone leaving a healthy normal skin, the hole on his stomach is closed as if there's no hole in the first place, his knee down from his right leg is also like his left arm condition, completely replaced with a new flesh and bone with the shape of a leg, and also his left leg that completely shattered is restored to normal condition.
The black haired boy right now is the picture of perfectly healthy teenager in his eighteen with athletic body! His injuries are all gone. Unlike his wounded appearance when he first arrive with the little blonde girl.
The room of the OR fell into silence. Azazel, Shemhazai, Tamiel, the medical staff and others paramedics just stood in their place, too shocked that made them cannot move after witnessing that abnormal occurrence from the unconscious boy. Only Baraqiel who's wearing a confused expression while looking back and forth between the boy and his fellow Fallen Angels.
They're just standing there for a several second until …
"Can someone tell me what is going on?" Baraqiel asked/yelled.
The others snapped off from their shocked state because of Baraqiel loud voice/question.
Instead of answering him, Azazel gestured Tamiel to check on how is the teen's condition which the latter replied with a nod.
As Tamiel begin check the condition of the teen, Azazel turned to random medical staff, "What just happened actually?"
"Well… after Tamiel-sama left the OR room to tell you regarding of the boy, but, when the boy actually going to die he suddenly enveloped by that many magic formations which origin is unknown for us… at first, we thought it would be making some attack magic out from the magic circle and harm us, but it just only surrounded the boys all over his body." The random medical staff answered him with somewhat puzzled expression which shared by the every person inside the room.
Azazel continues to listened the random medical staff explanation while Tamiel examine the teen. A while later, Tamiel returned to them.
"How is his condition?" The governor asked him.
"All of his injuries are healed. He is in perfect condition. The picture of health itself." Tamiel said with half amazed and half awed expressions, "It's as if he never gets injured before! Usually with grave injury like that any other person will instantly dead, but the boy himself survives until past midnight! And not only that! His injuries are healed so quickly before our eyes!"
Azazel fell into a deep thought, "Is the cause is that many unknown magic circle that surrounded his body?"
"Possibly… But I'm curious. Where did you find him? I don't remember that there a person much likes him here in Grigori… "
At that question Azazel begun getting nervous, "W-well… you know that me and Shemhazai working on something in the lab for a few months right?"
"Yes I know but I never ask about it." Then Tamiel eyes widened, "Don't tell me, you're working on human experiment?!"
"What?! Of course not!"
"Then where did you find him and how he get injuries like that!?"
Azazel fell silent, not sure how to bring over his Another World Gate Mk.4 invention to the talk.
And that when Shemhazai decided to tell Tamiel and Baraqiel.
"Tamiel, please calm down. We're not doing human experiment or something like that." He said with calm tone, now that the teen life was not in any danger, "We actually working on dimensional transfer machine."
Tamiel raised an eyebrow, "Why you guys make that? I believe our own magic circle is enough to teleport to any other pantheon dimension."
"It's actually not something like that…" Shemhazai rubbed the back of his head while sighed, "The purpose of the invention that we working on is actually different from any normal dimension gate…" he awkwardly explained the purpose, "It's called A.W.G. Mk.4 or 'Another World Gate Mk.4'…"
At that Tamiel and Baraqiel, who's understand a bit better about the situation, went wide eyed and gaped.
Seeing their dumbfounded expression, Azazel couldn't help but laugh, "Yeah, I know that's ridiculous, but it's actually worked."
"You mean that the teen and that little blond haired girl are from another world different from ours?!" Tamiel exclaimed in disbelief
"Or another universe, we're not certain." Shemhazai added.
"You guys heard an explosion a while ago, right?" Azazel tell them, "It seem both of them fleeing from something that attacked them which make them also opened a portal to our world while we opened portal to their world which somehow connected our portal and making it overload of magic power and causing an explosion, and then both of them appeared in our destroyed lab looking injured. With giant robot of all thing…" he muttered that last part quietly.
"What?"
"Nothing. Anyways, Baraqiel?"
"Yes?"
"Can you look at the teen, his face and appearance I mean, but don't get yours hope up. Because maybe or not, he is a different person." Azazel told Baraqiel.
"Okay…?" he answered with a puzzled expression because Azazel word. But decided to do it.
When Baraqiel arrived at the teen side, he somehoh got a familiar feeling while looking at his face. He noticed his face resemblance a bit similar to Shuri, his wife and Akeno, his daughter, his hair style also felt familiar minus the silver streak on his left bang. He felt like he know him. Then something that long ago he buried within his heart beginning to coming back. Hope begin to build up inside him.
And that's when the teen regained consciousness. His eyes opened slowly, revealing mismatched pair of eyes, his right eye's iris is blue while the left eye's iris is red. Fueling Baraqiel's hopes
"Ughh…" The teen let out a groan and then blinked slowly.
At first what he saw is a silhouette of a man, his figure is rather blurry, of course it's blurry, he is just recovered from near death injuries and miraculously healed within a few second after.
"-===_*_=*?" the teen said to Baraqiel, with similar unknown language like the blond girl before.
But Baraqiel whose don't know that, raised an eyebrow and decided to asked anyways, despite the language that he don't knows, "Are you alright? Can you tell me your name?"
The teen, which his vision started to return to normal frowned.
"*-_-_==***=-_?" he said again.
"I'm sorry. I don't know your language. But… my name is Baraqiel. Do you know who am I?"
The teen looked at Baraqiel, his eyes widened and looked stunned at the moment. He knows the language that Baraqiel used and of course he knows who Baraqiel was, but in his past. Ten years ago in fact. The teen decided speaking again, and with known language that almost he forgot ten years lately,
"Baraqiel… is my… Otou-sama… my father…" he said in broken Japanese sentences.
That confirmed it, this teen which is laying down on the bed is his missing son! But for to be sure, he asked again, "Then… is your name is… Haruto Himejima…?"
"Yes." The teen nodded, "My name is Haruto… are you Baraqiel? My first otou-sama?"
Baraqiel nodded. Tears flowed down from both his eyes to his cheeks. His emotion and feeling is exploded in joy, he suddenly went to hug the Haruto's body. Not caring about everybody that watching or knowing about what he is mean by first otou-sama.
Haruto, whose being hugged, also letting tears streaming down his face and he also hugging him back.
"It's you! It's really you! You went missing for several years that I thought you were gone forever from my entire life! Waaaaaaaaggghhhh!" Baraqiel cried loudly.
Azazel, Shemhazai, Tamiel and the medical staff not saying anything, but giving them time for their own reunion moment. At that moment, Azazel and Shemhazai thinking the same thing. They glad that they build the Another World Gate Mk.4. Because it's giving back what their friend precious person that went missing for several years, even if it just a coincidence.
They staying in that position and cried almost for an hour before calming down, then they fell silent. Not knowing what to say. But that silence broken by Haruto when he's looking around.
"Are we… in Earth Federation…?" he asked.
His father raised an eyebrow, "Earth Federation?"
Haruto looked at his father for a moment then recalled that he is in his home universe, regarding how he travelled to his home universe, he didn't remember how or why it happened, "Umm… I'm forgotten that… this is not universe 10. But my home universe… and yes, is this earth?"
"Actually we are in underworld. In Grigori, also in different dimension on Earth to be exact." Azazel, whose remain silent until now, decided to answer his question.
Haruto shifted his gaze to him, recognition showed on his face, "Uncle Azazel…? Is that you?"
Azazel grinned, "The one and only, kid. It's been a long time." Then his face turned serious, "I don't mean to be rude, but where have you been from until now? You said about universe 10 before, so I assumed you're from there since ten years ago? And there others universe beside the two?"
Haruto hesitated about what will he is going to say to them, considering the differences of universe 10 ages' is septillion years and his home universe age is still really young from what he could recall, but he decided to answers anyway, "Yes, I have been in universe 10 since ten years ago and yeah, there is many other universe in the plane of existence, and we called it multiverse."
Haruto beginning to explain about multiverse. There is many young universe, which age is a few billion years and oldest universe, which the age is reached over more septillion years. Normaly, one cannot travel to the other universe easily. But the oldest universe is can but difficult in doing so and some other thing like the technology and other things.
"That's about what I know about multiverse, but I'm curious… how am I arrive to my home universe after what happened to me?" Haruto asked.
Azazel decided to explain to him about his invention, Another World Gate that he succeed activating it, and when suddenly there is also another unknown energy inside the portal that he opened, the explosion when the other portal that connected to his A.W.G. Mk.4's portal, "And that's when a huge robot appeared inside of our lab and bringing you with it to lab after the explosion happened."
Haruto have a confused expression, "A giant robot…? You mean Ragna Frame?"
"I don't know what it's called, but yes a giant robot and It's body armour colours are overall white with red stripes with some part being gold and black." Azazel descripted, "The pilot of that robot is… at first I thought she was a twenty years old woman but then she suddenly turned into nine years old blonde haired girl wearing gothic Lolita outfit, I believe she said something about Heiliger Kaiser or something and then-"
"You mean Strea?!" Haruto interrupt him, his expression turned into surprise, "She is alive?! Where is she!? Is she alright?!"
Taken aback by Haruto sudden expression and worried tone, Azazel told him her condition.
"Calm down, kid. She is unconscious, but mostly fine, she just exhausted her energy and had minor wound, which is already healed by our healer."
Hearing that, Haruto let out relief sigh, "Thank goodness… she still alive…"
"Strea? Who is she?" Baraqiel asked his son.
"She is my adopted younger sister from universe 10." He told him honestly, "After I adopted her, we joined a famous family. And that's mean my family name is no longer Himejima anymore." His expression suddenly turned sad, "And she is the last family member I have from universe 10…"
"Whose your name now?" Baraqiel asked, noticing his sad tone when he mentioned his family, he decided to ask other question, "What happened to them?"
Haruto lowered his head down, his expression turned into sorrowful one, "My full name now is Haruto Layous Fatra Veltlion nox Forthorthe. And she is Strea Clarriosa Relius Daora rue Forthorthe." He told them, and tears started appear in both of his eyes again, "The Forthorthe family now with my other my precious friend, comrade and person which I loved and every other living being, is wiped out, by Anti-Existence after they destroyed the other oldest universe…" Haruto said as his heart grieving from the loss of his family and his loved one in universe 10, "And the survivor of universe 10 now is only me and Strea."
To be continued…
