Recap:

"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.

Note: Please read the italics, they are very important at the end since the last two pages goes to a song and the lyrics are in the italics. Please read the song to! It took me forever to find the right one!

My eyes sprung open. It seemed that I had been asleep some time for the air was colder and running over my forehead. Slowly, I moved my hand up to my face and felt a cloth soaking in water on my forehead.

"Oh you're up." I female voice said next to me. I slowly turned my head and saw a young girl dressed in pink and blue sitting next to me.

"Who…" I asked, trying to pull myself up. But I felt so heavy, like three tons of bricks.

"You…you don't remember?" The girl asked.

"It is alright, Sakura" Another boy said. I turned my head to the voice and saw a boy sitting at the desk with a laptop right in front of him. He was very good with the laptop, for his typing skills were incredibly fast.

"This antidote should return his memory." The boy said as he stood up and pulled a vile of purple liquid out of his pocket.

"No…." I said, struggling to sit up and he walked over and took my arm.

"Don't worry, after a second of pain you will fall asleep and when you wake up, you'll have your memories back." He said smiling as he injected the liquid into my arm.

There was a sharp jolt in my arm, and then everything became fuzzy. It was harder to move but I heard a slight sound and looked towards it. Though the fuzz, I saw a man standing there.

"Jub…" I managed to get out, then I fell asleep.

There was no telling when I woke up how long I was asleep. Everything earlier was a complete fuzz to me.

I swung my legs over the bed, my memories in tact and my body feeling extremely strong.

I walked around a bit. The room was not large, but not small either. It was a normal size. It held a desk, a window, and a cot. Through the window I could that it was almost morning but still dark outside.

"Am I in jail?" I thought looking at the door. It was made a pure steel and had bars in the small hole like a jail cell.

I heard foot steps.

I braced myself for whatever would enter the room. My fist tightly wrapped around my own and my feet in a sturdy stance.

The footsteps stopped and the door clicked. Slowly the door swung open. Taking this as my chance, I ran towards my attacker.

But he was quick. Like a flash of silver, he stepped to the side, making me completely miss him. With my self open, he grabbed my arm and twisted it behind me. Then, he slammed me into the wall.

"What have you done with Touzoku?" The man growled in my ear.

"I am Touzoku." I managed to get out with my face pressed against the wall.

The attacker released his grip and steps back. He pulled something out of his pocket and it made a "click" sound. A small blue flame danced around the tip.

Through the fire I could see his face. Someone I had never seen before. He had brown hair that flared backwards and was outlined with red. He was tall and slender and wore a long red and black coat and black pants. Also, just like Ban he wore a shirt that was pure white.

"I'm sorry!" The man said taking the flames and cupping his hand over it. He then raised his hand and the flame along with it.

I took his a sharp breath. The flame had surrounded his hand, consuming it whole.

"My name is Kasai Ishuu(1)." He said.

"I would shake your hand but as you can see." He said, showing me his fire inflamed hand.

"I understand." I said smiling.

"Who are you?" I asked as he ushered he forward.

"Oh I never did tell you who I was." He said, brushing some brown hair out of his eyes.

"I'm on of the Four kings." He said, smiling.

"In the new volts, I mean." He said, seeing that I was puzzled.

"Oh yeah!" I said, snapping my fingers.

"That's right, MakubeX founded a new volts after Ginji left." I said in my head.

"He must have also put together the four kings." I said, aloud.

"Yep, except to of them are girls. You'll meet them in a few seconds." He said, turning left.

We were now in the presence of a large steel door that on it was label, MakubeX. Next to the door was a small hand print scanner.

Kasai placed his hand on the scanner. It shot out a blue light and then it made a humming sound and a beep.

The large door slowly slid open.

"Well, go in, don't be afraid." He said, pushing me forward.

I staggered a bit, but walked forward. In front of me was a large, actually, many large super computers and one boy sitting, cross legged, typing away of a key board. His fingers were moving very quickly, from what I could hear. But also very gracefully, almost like a dance.

Standing next to him was Juubei his hand on a computer for steadiness, Emishi leaning against a wall, his Dance whip next to him, Sakura, who was sitting next to MakubeX, and a new person, someone I had never seen before.

She was short, and had long white hair that went down to her waste. She wore an interesting outfit, a traditional Kimono and wooden shoes. On her waist was a belt that held what seemed to be two cup like things with red orbs attached to strings.

The typing stopped.

MakubeX stood up and turned around to me, a smile on his face.

"I see you are better, Touzoku." He said walking over to me.

"I'm glad, for my sake and yours. Who knows what Shido would do to me if something happened to you?" He said, chuckling. I laughed along.

"I would like to introduce you to Akisaka, the fourth king." He said, looking at her.

She glared at him.

"I mean, Queen. Sorry, Akisaka." He said, a sweat drop at the side of his face.

"Nice to met you." She said, cheerfully.

I smiled but didn't stick out my hand.

"I cant touch you, sorry, I'll steal you powers." I said, blushing. She was so cute!

"Oh." She said, retracting her hand.

"What can you do anyway?" I asked, curious if it had something to do with those things on her waist.

"Oh, I can use these." She said, pulling out the toys I saw.

"And twirl them around, kinda like Thread Master Kazuki." She said, putting them back.

"Oh." I said, satisfied.

"I am very sorry to break up this occasion, but something else is more important." MakubeX said, ushering me over to his computer.

He sat down typed a few codes, and them stood up.

"As you can see." He said, pointing to the screen.

"Mass turmoil is in Lowertown, and I haven't been able to do anything but try and stabilize what was happening." He said, sadness in his voice.

"I have even been forced to call in some police officers." He said, looking up at me.

"What I am getting to is that is is urgent that we get you out of her as son as possible." He said, sternly.

"But maybe I can help." I protested, but he shook his head and cut me off.

"You have nothing to do with this. What is happing outside is more of a concern to you, especially I haven't been able to contact anyone from the outside. " He said rubbing his chin.

"So, I'll will teleport you out of here." He said taking a few steps back.

"What?" I asked.

"I'll teleport you. Don't worry, its not that much effort for me, since I have these Amplification Gloves." He said, tapping his wrist.

He then shot out his hands and closed his eyes. A humming sound filled the room. A soft wind shot up around me, like a gust.

"Touzoku!" I heard Juubei yell over the wind.

"Yeah?" I yelled back, the wind getting louder.

"Tell Kazuki I'll be alright!" He yelled, but before I could yell back, the wind kicked into a roaring twirl, and I was tossed in the air.

Well, not actually, but it felt like I was. In a second, I was standing in front of Shido's apartment.

"Wow." I said, blinking.

"MakubeX is pretty amazing." I said as I fished out my keys.

I stuck them in the door knob, and stopped.

"I wonder what Shido will do when I come home." I said to my self, smiling. Think about him taking a bat and slamming it over my head.

"Well that wouldn't be good." I said, silently laughing.

I turned the knob and walking in smiling.

"I'm home!" I yelled.

I opened my eyes and looked. Something wasn't right. Something in the room was wrong. It was the smell of sadness, and morbid ness. Something was defiantly wrong.

Also, the blinds were closed, and the lights off. The only light that came through, was the shredded lights from the closed blinds.

I turned and saw Shido on the couch well, at least his back. He looked sad, his posture was horrible and he was kind of just there.

"Shido?" I asked curiously

I slowly walked over.

"Shido is something wrong?" I asked, not knowing exactly what to do.

"We can talk about it." I said, putting my hand on his shoulder. If it wasn't for my quick reflexes, I would probably be missing an arm right now. Instead, I only got a scratch from Shido's claws that came ripping at me hand.

I pulled back, sucking my finger.

Slowly, Shido stood up.

"Go away." I heard him say.

"Shido…" I said, looking at my cut. It was small, but hurt.

"I said go away!" He yelled, turning around.

I took a step back.

"You think you can just come here and expect me to tell you everything!" He yelled, taking a step closer.

I was afraid.

"Shi…" I said, but he cut me off.

"You don't even understand! This isn't even where you belong! You belong back in your world!" He yelled, throwing his arm.

Your nothing special, just an accident that jus that just happened to happen! And I'm sick of trying to take care of the accident! You're just as bad as a sick dog! No, that is an insult to the dog!" He barked at me.

Even though the blinds were closed, I could tell that it was getting dark and ready to storm.

"I want you out of here! I don't ever want to see or hear you again! You make me sick!" He spat at me.

I just stood there. Why was Shido acting like this?

"I SAID LEAVE!" He yelled.

And then, for some strange reason, I just belted and ran out, slamming the door behind me.

Half way down the hall, Kazuki was walking down the hall.

"Oh hi…" He said, but I just ran into him, my body latterly shoving him into the wall.

I didn't care anymore, I just wanted to run.

"..Touzoku!" I heard behind me, but I just blocked it off and continued to run. I threw open the main door downstairs and ran into the newly born rain.

In the hall

Kazuki stood, astonished.

"Why was he running like that?" He thought to himself as he continued to walk down the hall to Shido's room.

"I'll ask Shido." Kazuki decided.

Kazuki walked up to room 413 and looked at the slip of paper.

"This is the right room." He said, knocking.

But, he didn't have to wait for long, the door slowly creped open giving way to let Kazuki see Shido sitting on the couch, just like Touzoku had.

"Shido?" He asked, walking in. but unlike Touzoku, he instantly walked in and sat next to the chair across from him.

"How foolish." Shido said, shaking his head.

"What?" Kazuki asked.

"Treating Touzoku like that…no reason." Shido said, looking up at Kazuki. He was crying.

"Shido, why are you crying?" Kazuki asked, leaning forward.

"Modaka…..Modaka….she…she's dead." He said, under his breath, but Kazuki heard him.

"She's dead?" He asked, hoping he heard wrong.

"Yeah, she died in a car crash in Italy going to the airport." He said ,s lamming his fist on the table.

"There was no reason for me to treat Touzoku like that!" He said. The rain was getting harder.

"I'm sorry…Shido." Kazuki said, not knowing if he should say anything else.

"I…I loved her Kazuki." He said, looking up, crying again.

"Do …do you think I was stupid for not telling her." He said wiping his face.

"Stupid? For that? Oh no!" Kazuki said, friendly like.

"For turning Touzoku away like that? Yes. You were very stupid there." He said, turning serious.

"What?" Shido asked.

Kazuki sighed.

"Shido, I and very sorry for the death of Modaka, and I know you are. But if you treat people around like you did Touzoku….well let me just say you cant dwell you love on the dead." He said, giving a faint smile.

Shido cocked his head to the side, he didn't understand.

Kazuki signed once more.

"I'll tell you this. If you dwell on the death of Modaka, then you'll surely kill the love that you have right in front of you." Kazuki said, hopping that was enough of a hint.

"Do you mean…." Shido said after a few seconds passed.

The rain was know a storm.

"…Are you saying.." He asked standing up.

"Touzoku…" He said looking at Kazuki.

Kazuki nodded.

Shido instantly ran out of the apartment, Kazuki at his heels.

"Touzoku." He whispered running outside into the storm

In the storm

I had been running for many minutes and was actually pretty far. I had passed the docks from before, and was now farther than I had every been. It was a pretty run down neighborhood, not the richest but not the poorest.

My legs were tried, and so was his heart.

I collapsed in the middle of the street, not looking for cars or anything. There weren't any people on the sidewalks, just me and the rain. I sat on the back of his heels, looking up at the sky.

The only thing he felt was Shido's yelled.

It was playing in my head over and over again, not stopping.

I screamed.

"Why did he hate me?" I said, after I was done screaming. I looked down at the ground and saw my reflection in the rain and puddles.

I was crying, at least I thought I was. It was hard to distinguish between the rain and tears.

I was so concerned and absorbed with my own thoughts, that I didn't notice the men walking forward to me, and hovering over me.

"Hey." I heard the say. Slowly I looked up.

But, before I could even respond or act, the man brought his leg up , kicking me straight in the chin.

I flew in the air from the powerful blow and landed on the ground.

"You richies thing you can just come in here when ever you feel like it because your rich?" The man who kicked me said.

I slowly opened my eyes and saw that there were five men.

"Well think again!' He said a she grabbed my collar and threw me into the stone wall.

It hurt, it hurt a lot actually. The pain was more than I thought I would be.

I tried to stand, but the ground was to slippery and I didn't have enough energy to fight of even stand.

The men walked over. Two of them came over and grabbed my arms, and helped me p, white the other shot direct punches at me in my stomach.

The pain was too much and I spat out blood into the leaders face. Not on purpose.

"You little!" He said, wiping the blood of his face.

He then took his hand and sent a powerful hook into my jaw.

I staggered about ten feet before dropping to the ground. Everything hurt and I couldn't even defend my self. It was like I didn't have the urge.

The men walked over, and the leader grabbed my collar again.

"The finishing blow." He said as he brought his fist up.

"HOLD IT!" I heard someone yell from behind.

The men look up, and consequently dropped me to the ground. Using what little effort I hat, I turned myself over to see who it was.

There, drenched in the rain, was Shido.

I smiled.

"Who the hell are you?' The leader asked, a shock sent through the air.

"Doesn't matter. Just leave Touzoku alone and I'll spare you." Shido said, taking a step forward.

"This brat? No way! My boys will kill you first and then him. How do you like that, punk?" The leader yelled.

Normally Shido would have smiled and laughed, then attacked them. But his blood was no longer blood, it was pure rage.

"I warned you." He said, taking a Japanese fighting stance.

"Hundred beast semblance; Cheetah semblance!' He yelled.

I knew what would happen. His nails would extend to sharp claws and he would become very fast and skillful with his movements, but I still had to see what would happen.

Shido jumped forward in a flash before anyone, even I could see.

In a fraction of second, he was in front of the leader, and he slashed with his nails.

The leader grabbed his throat as blood poured out.

"Hundred beast semblance." He said a she jumped back to take a stance.

"Rabid wolf semblance!" H yelled as two more ran forward. With the same speed he flew and attacked both men, cutting three large gashes in there chest.

They collapsed to the ground in intense pain.

Shido then locked his feet together and jumped high in the air.

"Hundred beast Semblance" I heard him yell over the sky.

"Elephant semblance!" He yelled as he came crashing down on one of the men. His elephant weight was so much that the man was crushed to death.

There was only one more man left, but he, being the clever one, had slipped past Shido, and was now holding me in his arms and a gun at my head.

"Touzoku!' Shido yelled, taking a step forward.

"Back away!" The man yelled, cocking the gun.

Shido stopped moving.

"Can I make it in time?" He wondered.

"Then. Thin strands of light shot around the man, wrapping him in a cocoon.

"What?" He yelled as his hands moved involuntary and he dropped his gun.

I fell forward.

"Fuchoin school technique, Lotus wrappings" I heard Kazuki say from behind.

I feel to my knees.

Shido slowly walked forward. He must have taken another form because his claws were back.

The man stood shaking with fear as Shido walked forward.

"Die." Shido said as he raised his hand.

The man screamed.

Let's go back

"Shido.."

Back to the beginning

"Shido wait…" I said, standing up.

Back to when the earth, the sun, the stars the all aligned

"Touzoku!" Shido yelled, turning around.

The man ran.

Cuz perfect

"Shido….make me a promise." I said using up a lot of energy.

Isn't always perfect

"Touzoku…I have." But I put a hand up, telling him to stop.

Trying to fit a square into a circle

"Make me a promise."
Is no life

"Promise me you will never kill again." I said, giving a faint smile.

I defy…

He stared at me for a few seconds. "I promise."

"Good." I said as I smiled.

Let the rain fall down and break my dreams

"Cuz you know."

Let it wash away, my sanity

"Killing never does truly anything."

Cuz I wanna hear the thunder I wanna scream

"Except cause more pain." I said, smiling again.

Let the rain fall down, I'm coming clean

"Your right." He said, smiling back.

I'm shedding,

"Are you alright?" Shido asked me.
Shedding every color,

"Im fine." I said, waving his hand away. I coughed and some blood came out.
Trying to find a pigment of truth beneath my skin..

"Touzoku your not fine! We have to get you to a hospital!" He yelled over the roaring winds.

Oh...

"Yeah." I said, wearily
'Cause different, doesn't feel so different,

"Come on." He said, extending his arms to embrace me in a hug.
And going out is better, than always staying in,

But my eyes rolled in the back of my head, and gravity pulled me down.
Feel the wind.

"He brought his hands in, only to take in nothing."

Let the rain fall down and wake my dreams

"Touzoku?" He asked as I laid in the rain
Let it wash away my sanity

"TOUZOKU!" He yelled as he collapsed to his knees by my side.
Cause I wanna feel the thunder

"Don't die Touzoku!" he yelled as he grabbed my arm.
I wanna scream

"Don't leave me!" He yelled, tears pouring down his face.
Let the rain fall down

"I never got to say it, but." He whispered as Kazuki ran over
I'm coming clean

"I love you."
I'm coming clean

Chapter 9: Complete!

Wow, that was a sad chapter, at leas to me it was! Well, Shido expressed his love for Touzoku. We saw the new volts. And who knows what will happen next?
