Recap:
"But…but I have to," looking at the ceiling. The white lights made figures and shapes.
"Well… I don't think you have to go," Shido said, taking a definite stand.
I smiled, and turned in the covers.
"Maybe I don't." I said, slowly drifting off to sleep, with the white bandana in my hand.
A week had passed, and nothing had really happened. I was release from the hospital, I went back to living with Shido, and life went on. The only real thing is my hair. I never knew that hair dye was such an amazing thing.
I walked into the Honky Tonk, a bright smile just like Ginji's on my face.
The bell did a slight jingle like Kazuki's bells.
"Hi Touzoku…" Natsumi said, turning around with a smile on her face. But her smile slowly tuned into a astonished look as she looked at me.
"You like it?" I asked hopefully.
"Umm…" She said, staring at me.
What she was staring at was my hair. I had changed it in the past week from a Golden blonde, to a Envy green, and finally settled for a Midnight Black.
"Not the Touzoku I remember." Kazuki said as he walked out of the bathroom, looking at me.
I smiled and laughed a bit.
"I admit, my hair is very…different." I said, rubbing the back of my head as I walked over to the table. Paul slightly looked up from his paper, eyed me for a second, shook his head and then went back to this paper.
"One coffee pleases Paul." I said pulling out three hundred and ninety two yen.
"Coming right up." Paul said, walking over to the coffee maker.
I sat down, brushing the black hair from my eyes.
"So why did you change your hair?" Kazuki said, walking over and sitting next to me. He brought his coffee over with him.
"don't know, just felt like expressing my individuality." I said smiling and blushing.
Kazuki smiled and shifted his weight. He took his hand and brushed his brown hair out of his eyes and smiled.
"So, you didn't answer my question a week ago." He said, looking at me, a smirk on his face.
"What ever do you mean?" I said, trying to trick him that he was wrong.
But the thread wielder wasn't easily tricked.
"Don't kid with me, Touzoku." He said, smiling at me.
"So what did you mean?" He said, inching closer and smiling brightly.
"Here's your coffee." Paul said, handing me the cup. Nervously I took one gulp of the coffee. It was very tasty the hazelnut taste was very good.
Slowly I placed the coffee down and looked at him.
"I guess…. Um.." I said shifting my feet.
"Here's some advice." He said standing up.
"If you can't admit to someone else that you love someone." He said pulling out four hundred yen.
"Then how can you truly admit to yourself, that you do love that person?" He said, standing up to me.
"Just some food for thought." He said giggling and walking out.
"Wait what?" I said jumping off the stool and walking behind him. The thread master was fast though, and by the time I walked outside, he was gone.
"Hmm. Food for thought." I said walking back in and sitting down to drink the coffee.
"If I can't admit of someone else that you love someone, then how can you truly admit to yourself that you do love that person?" I thought drinking my coffee.
"You know, Touzoku." Natsumi said, washing the table.
"If you would like to show someone you like them, a present always works." She said, looking up at me flashing a smile.
I looked up at her. Get Shido a present? What does Shido like anyway?
"Thanks Natsumi." I said, drinking my last gulp of coffee and walking outside.
"A present." I said walking down the walk in the direction to the Mall.
"What would Shido like?" I asked myself looking up at the sky. It was a brilliant flashing sky blue that was a wonderful color. The clouds were also a white color that was a certain symbol of purity.
"Maybe he would like a new headband." I thought pulling out of my pocket Shido's white headband. Curiously I pulled the headband and tied it around my hair. I walked up to a window and looked at myself as I tied my headband.
"Strange." I said, smiling slightly.
I looked, with the black and headband, almost exactly like Shido. Just a little shorter and without the vest and brown shoes.
I made a mental note to get some color remover so that my hair could go back to being blonde.
I continued to walk until I reached the large looming mall.
"That's what I'll do." I said smiling walking into the mall.
"I'll get him a headband." I said nodding my head.
I walked around the mall, looking for the right store.
"What type of store would have headbands?" Thought wandering aimlessly.
"Maybe a hat store." Thought, looking at the map. The hat store was on the third floor.
I took the escalator up to the third store. Walking about twenty feet, I rounded the corner, just like the map said.
But, what I say then, changed my life.
Right next to the Hat store, was a Headband Store.
"A Head Band Store?" I said, mouth dropped.
"There is a store for headbands?" I yelled, attracting attention.
This world was stranger than I thought.
I walked in, amazed by all the headbands the store had. There had thousands of headbands for every size. There was all different types also, red ones, blue, orange, ones with designs. SO MANY TO CHOOSE FROM!
I looked all over the store, looking for the right one. After about fifty minutes, I had limited them to five different ones.
My first choose was a pure white one, just like the original one he had. The second one, was a baby blue that was kinda looked like the sky. It also had an outline a deep blue that was the color of the ocean. My third one was a deep green, like the forest with a yin-yang in the center and on the two tails. The fourth one was a black one with a pure white paw print of a dog like an inverted picture. The last headband was a headband with the Japanese characters "best friend". The characters were in black, but the background was the color red.
"I'll get them all!" I said, coming up with a revolutionary idea.
I walked over to the cash register and placed the five bandanas on the counter.
The man looked at me puzzled, most likely wondering why I was buying all of those bandana's.
"For a friend." I said. He nodded and rang them up.
"That will be 1000 yen, sir." He said, clicking the enter button.
I fished in my pocket and pulled out my wallet. I opened it up and pulled out some of the money Shido gave me.
He told me not to use my money foolishly, but it seems that I slightly forgot about that when I spent 1000 of the 1500 yen he gave me on him…
"Thank you very much sir, have a nice day." The clerk said, bowing.
I walked out of the room happy even though I only had about 200 yen left. Not even enough to buy a cup of coffee.
Then I remember! In the back that Ban gave me, was 1000 yen. Also a little present. He said it was my birthday present.
I arrived at the apartment after about twenty minutes of walking. It was now about five thirty and get dark.
I walked up to the apartment and pulled out my keys. Unlocking the door I kicked it open with my foot. I walked in and threw the bag on the couch.
"I'm home!" I yelled, expecting to see Shido in front of the TV. But instead, the only reminisce of Shido was a note on the fridge that said that he and Emishi had gone to visit MakubeX at the Limitless Fortress and that he would be back late.
"I haven't seen MaukeX yet." I said, think about that.
"Nor Sakura." I thought again as I fished in the bag for some wrapping paper and tape.
I searched around, but didn't feel it.
"That's right!" I said, snapping my fingers.
"I didn't get it! I forgot all about it!" I said grabbing the keys from the table and my coat. How can you give a present without wrapping paper.
I checked the clock and say that it was now six o' clock.
"I better hurry." I said as I slammed the door and went running down the steps.
"I still have to wrap the present and make dinner." I said, pulling on my jacket as I ran. I reached the base of the whole complex in about ten seconds. I swung the door wide open.
I ran down the streets of Japan, breathing in the cold air, but not caring. I wasn't really running at a fast pace, but I was running at a steady one.
Forgetfulness would now be my downfall.
As I ran, not noticing the crowd around me, I bumped shoulders with someone. I bumped shoulders hard enough with them for me to trip and fall to the ground.
"Oh!" I yelled as I feel. The ground was hard and cold.
"I'm very sorry." I head a voice say as I closed my eyes as the pain came.
"I was looking for someone and I didn't even notice you." The man's voice said.
"Its okay." I said opening my eyes and looking into my talker. He stuck his hand out to me. He was wearing gloves.
But it wasn't ok.
Standing in front of me was a young man, no older than the age nineteen. He had a slender body and brown hair that came down to his shoulder. He also had very thin glasses that he adjusted once or twice. He was smiling, a smile of pure evil. The man was Yukihiko; one of the two brothers in the Muroku protection service.
"Its….its….Yukihiko." I said, shaking and turning very quickly.
"I'm sorry, but did you just say my name?" The man said, his smiling disappearing and his face turning serious.
"If Yukihiko was looking for some, it had to be pretty important since in the series they weren't cheap Protection people. But what could be so important that he would have to look for them…" I thought contemplating who he was looking for.
"I didn't tell you my name, so how did you know it?" He asked, very politely.
"And he is wearing gloves. He didn't wear gloves in the series." I thought again
"The only way…" He said, placing his hand on his chin thinking.
"The only way I could have known is if I was from another world, which I am." I thought in my head. He's figuring it out.
"And the only person he could be looking for is…" I thought, the answer almost visible.
"…Is if you…" he said, also his answer very close to being finished.
"Is me." I whispered under my breath.
"Are Touzoku." He said, looking at me, his eyes wide.
For a second neither of us moved.
I was the first. Like a tiger, I sprung up and started running. Then a fraction of a second later, Yukihiko brought out his Moonlight Blade; a circle blade that could cut through anything, and threw it at me.
"You won't get away! You will be my redemption sacrifice for losing to Ginji Amano!" He yelled as the blade soared.
People screamed as the blade cut people next to them.
I turned around, looking directly at a spinning metal blade that flew straight towards me.
"Oh no!" I yelled as I jumped to the side, bumping into a crowd of people.
The blade nearly missed me, only cutting my arm.
Quickly I recovered from the large fall and commotion that filled the streets. I instantly ran, not really knowing where to go or really what to do but knowing that I had to get away from Yukihiko.
"Moonlight Blade, Flash Cut!" He yelled behind me. Instantly the blade shot again, this time, cutting my arm in a larger gash.
"Agh." I said as I grabbed my arm and continued to run. The pain was becoming stronger and stronger by the minute and making me dizzy.
"Shido." I said in my head. I need you.
I continued to run though, knowing that even if Shido did come, that I would have to survive for at least the next ten minutes or so.
"You will not escape!" Yukihiko said, this time, his voice closer.
I had run pretty far, and from my guess, since the temperature dropped a lot in the past minute. I was close to the docks.
Sure enough, I was right.
I ran to the left, and into a labyrinth of crates. I jetted right and left, hopping to lost Yukihiko.
After a minute or so of jetting, I sat down relaxing.
"Maybe he gave up." I said, looking at me hand. It was soaked in a cool red liquid.
"Muroku Beautiful Blade technique, Sand Slash!" A voice said behind me. I turned just in time to see the wave hit the crate, sending me and many shards flying in the air.
"Ahhh!" I yelled as I skipped across the ground.
With much effort, I stood up. I had only gotten small scratches through the whole battle, since it seemed I was able to put a shield up just before the crate was hit.
Standing in front of me, was my new opponent Natsuhiko, Yukihiko's other half. He was tall and had green hair instead of brown. He also possessed a sword instead of a blade.
"Your death, shall taste sweet on my sword." He said, walking over slowly.
I stood, my vision slightly blurry. If I was going to win this battle, I would have to touch him somehow. Make skin contact was the only way.
"Now taste the true power of the Muroku Beautiful sword!" He said, lunging towards me with the sword in his hand.
"Muroku Beautiful Sword, book of Techniques, Tiger Fang!" He yelled, bearing the sword in his left hand and his right hand, in the form of a "snake bite".
Then it flashed.
"That's it." I said
Instantly, I placed up a shield. His sword hit, and curved downwards as he lost control over the blade. Then, I took down the shield, and lunged forward the same way he did. Or hands clasped together, distracting him. Then, using this time my advantage, I twirled him around, and let go. He stepped and staggered.
My chance was now.
Then I lunged forward, and stealing Ban's words I said.
"Snake Bite!"
Granted, my technique was neither quick nor strong, but with him being distracted, it was enough for me to clasp his face, and steal his power.
It was a shock, like it always was when I stole someone's power. But this time, it was different. Something, new was inside me.
Then, as soon as I stole Natsuhiko's power, a new power came, Yukihiko's power. I tried to let go, but it just cycled through me. His skills in the arts of speed his use of the Moonlight Blade. Everything.
It was to much power, to much for one person to handle and I was blown back twenty feet long and five feet in the air.
I laid there for many seconds, not thinking of anything, actually nothing at all. Everything hurt, everything had pain.
I slowly stood up, and my body felt like a ton of bricks, but was managed to stand.
But what I saw right then, should have killed me.
The two Muroku brothers stood, each with their own body.
"Brother." Yukihiko said, slowly.
"Yukihiko." Natsuhiko spoke with a touch of emotion in his voice.
They hugged each other, Yukihiko crying a lot and Natsuhiko not making a sound, just holding his brother.
I took a step back. Maybe this was my chance to escape.
"Not so fast." Natsuhiko said, staring straight at me. Him and Yukihiko separated from one another's embrace and were ready for battle.
"For separating us we are grateful." Yukihiko said.
"And we don't know how to repay you." Natsuhiko said.
"But we have a job to do." Yukihiko spoke.
"And we have to finish it." Natsuhiko said, taking a step forward.
"And so the only way we know how to repay you." Yukihiko said, taking a step also.
"Is to make your death quick and painless!" Natsuhiko said reaching for his sword.
I closed my eyes and put up my arms as I guard. I tried to make a shield, but I was completely out of energy. Something about them drained my power.
I waited for the strike, the pain, but it never came. Instead, I heard a muffled scream and a "what?" from Natsuhiko.
Slowly I opened my eyes and saw Yukihiko tied in a pink cloth, its ropes constricting his body and Natsuhiko trapped within what seemed to be a bubble.
"But…that means." I said. Then I turned around.
There standing on the top of a truck, was Sakura and MakubeX.
Sakura was dressed in her usual blue and pink scarf wrapped around her head and MakubeX was dressed in his normal brown and printed scarf.
"Kakei school technique, Peacock engagement." She said, looking at Yukihiko.
"Amplification technique, Security Bubble." MakubeX said, looking at Natsuhiko. They were both trapped and not able to get out.
"Kakei school technique, Peacock twirl!" He yelled, raising her hands. The cloth spun, sending Yukihiko is a frenzy of twirls.
MakubeX then raised his hand and threw Natsuhiko, into Yukihiko. While they were both laying in a heap he said;
"Amplification technique, Search and Destroy!"
Small orbs appeared around MakubeX. He raised his hand and brought it down, sending the orbs towards the Muroku brothers.
There was a pile a smoke and when the smoke cleared, Yukihiko and Natsuhiko both stood, buy very injured.
Natsuhiko glared but said nothing. He threw his hand up, and released a capsule which let out a flash of purple light. When I opened my eyes, they were gone and Sakura and MakubeX were standing next to me.
"Why hello, Touzoku." Sakura said smiling.
"Shido and the others told us so much about you…" MakubeX said, but the rest I couldn't hear, because…well you know me….I fainted.
