Chapter Two
"That damn bastard! I can't believe what he's done to me! I feel like killing him again!" an angry ,now blue eyed, Yuri paced back and forth in the room. The group had decided to settle down after the battle and rented rooms at a cheap Inn to spend the night and plan their next move.
" Calm down Yuri. Getting angry won't solve anything." Alice tried to comfort him.
"Yeah, besides it's not like you can't live without your weird monsters." Halley gave a nervous laugh. Yuri stopped on his tracks and glanced at the group. He then sighed.
"Hum guys, I think you don't really understand what is going on. You know, I haven't really told everything about being an Harmonixer." He hesitated.
"What is it then?" asked Margaret. Zhuzhen and Halley sat down on a nearby bed, while Keith was still standing, against a wall. The girls also accommodated to hear Yuri's story. It was the first time he looked so serious.
" You know that an Harmonixer is born with various monster souls inside him right?" the others nodded. " Well they aren't just there to be used in battle. They are part of me. Putting it simple our lives are connected. If they leave the Harmonixer's soul, which I didn't think it was possible, then both my life and theirs is in danger."
"What do you mean" asked Alice, anxiously.
Yuri sighed, exasperated. " I mean that if I don't find them quickly I don't know how much longer I will live. Right now my seven monsters are out there, probably causing a hell of a mess in many places, especially those with a hot temper. Eventually the people will feel threatened. Question: What do scared people do when freaking looking monsters are messing with their lives?"
" Oh my God!" Alice suddenly realized.
" They will probably hunt the monsters down." Zhuzhen answered. For the first time he realized that there was real danger for Yuri in the situation.
" Yep, that's right. The only solution is to find them and see if I can "convince" them to return to me, although I don't know if that's possible."
" But I don't get it." Halley interrupted. " Why is that so important? I mean they now have a body of their own and it's important that we stop them before they cause chaos. But why do you have to reabsorb them?"
" It's very simple, dimwit." Yuri was getting desperate with his friends "Because our fates are linked. If they die I die. If I die, They die too. Get it now?"
" This is really serious, then" said Keith.
"Exactly! Why do you think I've been so stressed out!" Yuri's patience had long worn out.
" Then, it's settled." Alice had a resolute look on her face. " We're going after those creatures and they will be part of Yuri again."
" You make that sound simple" answered Margarete. " But how do you plan on finding them?"
" Did you forget that you have an exorcist with you?" Zhuzhen interrupted.
" So what? We're not hunting any freakin' ghost!" said a bad humored Yuri. Zhuzhen hit him with his staff.
" Don't be so rude kid. Exorcists are known to feel the souls of all beings. That's how I know where to go when I'm looking for job. Because I can feel the spirits living or dead. That means I might be able to feel the souls of you monsters."
" Wow, can you really do that?" Yuri was regaining his hopes.
" Well it's not really accurate. But at least we will know which way to go."
" Besides, I can help too, you know?" offered Alice " After all I'm a Demon's Eyes. Although I can only feel souls when they are close, unlike Master Zhuzhen."
" Well,. Then it's settled. Tomorrow will begin our pursue to your souls Yuri." Said Keith. " Until then we should get some sleep"
Everyone agreed and went off to bed. A new journey was about to begin.
