Miki was still wondering in her mind what the key was related to, when out of the blue, Sayuri was seen on the corridor of Kaori's room. "What's the matter? Is everything all right?" she asked. Saeko was about to give the answer, when her eyes fell on Ryo. Ryo sat on the edge of the tub, deeply lost in thoughts. His brow was dark but his eyes were gleaming with hope and revenge. Never had Saeko seen him like that. In fact the great City Hunter was never normally seen to be thinking about anything except mokkori hotties on the streets of Shinjuku, no one had ever seen him to think, not even Umibozu. Just then the grumpy voice of Umibozu was heard "Hey you imbecile! Do you intend to take a bath with your clothes on? Or do you want to be left alone you moron! Lazy swine!! Get up." Ryo didn't waste a single moment and straightaway went towards the only large cupboard on the eastern wall of the room. By the time the Old Doc came up to the first floor too. He was passing puzzled glances with Sayuri and Saeko, both of whom didn't have the slightest idea what Ryo was up to. Just then Ryo was heard to murmur something. Umibozu, Saeko and Sayuri stopped the whisper to hear "Fujimaki Masashi let's see who you are! Let's see your true identity. After that I promise, you'll repent the day you were born. I will make you repent for that. I will make you understand why I am called the City Hunter!" With the murmur Ryo put the key in the lock, and turned it. Luckily the lock opened with a faint metallic clang and inside it was a mess seen. Lots of Kaori's dresses were piled up in a heap, with her underwear too. There was a rusty handjar, which was stained with dry blood on the topmost shelf of the cupboard and beside it was a picture of Ryo and Kaori smiling together. Ryo picked up the picture, and gazed intently at it, all the while murmuring to himself "I pray you're alright, wherever you are, Kaori! Stay alive while I come for you, my sugar boy! Stay alive." With this murmur, he took the picture and went towards Saeko. Without a single word, he pulled one of her hairpins off her head and then went towards the bed and sat on it with the two equipments. Saeko, Sayuri and the Old Doc were looking at him with large astonished eyes, but Ryo didn't have time to meet their gazes, he was cut off from the outside world. It seemed he didn't even remember that he wasn't alone and that there were more people with him. Umibozu came in the room and stood beside the door such that no one must have a problem for him. Ryo was busy in his work in one corner of the city.
In another corner of the city, someone else was having a hazy look out from a window of an unknown building. She was Kaori. Kaori could see some people doing something, but everything was hazy. Nothing was prominent. "What's happened to me?" she thought while gazing at the men, having their own way. Just then her gaze fell on the window. She parted the flaps to see the surroundings. "Wow! The view is so nice." She thought to herself. Just then she saw a figure, more appropriately, a face before her. The face alone was enough to burst off her pulse to a high rate. It's that face, the reason she's away from the only person she loved in this entire world: Ryo! It all happened due to that one face. No matter how much she hated him, it so seemed that she couldn't bring out her emotions whenever she's with him. Moment ago she could open the flaps of the window out of her own free will, and look at her now! She can't even think straight! Her emotions, her thoughts seem to strangle whenever she's with him. Anyway, the face was just seen for a few seconds, and then he again disappeared amongst the men that were working. Kaori again turned her gaze and her concentration towards the open window. She doesn't know why, but this open window brought back lots of memories for her. She couldn't remember the memories then, but deep inside, her heart knew that there were feelings that wanted to break free. She can't remember her past anymore. She is a new person now, but at times, her heart pounds a bit faster whenever she thinks of a hazy shadow of a person with blue overcoat on a red t-shirt and black trousers. She can't remember his name, but she knows it deep inside her heart that she is somehow linked with him. She wanted to meet him just for once, but in this unknown city? That seemed to be impossible as a thought itself! And above all, this peculiar man she was staying with! Every time he touches her, she feels disgusted for some reason. She isn't sure about the reason. Just then someone called out her name; it was that eerie, peculiar man! She can't remember his name at all, or so it seemed. He was calling her. Kaori stood up. Although she had a smile on her face, she knew in her heart that the smile was a fake. It was as if she was forced to smile by an unknown identity. She proceeded towards the man! "Hello my love! Come closer to me dear! After all, you are the only one who is the closest to my heart, Kaori!" Kaori went towards the person and embraced him without a further word! The person's looks was more peculiar than his behavior. He had shoulder-long hair that was artificially coloured, perhaps from a gent's salon, his eyes were something a normal person would never have; the eyes were snake-like, the owner of which always seemed to be a cold-blooded murderer. He even wore rectangular spectacles on them. No sane person would probably make friends with someone with such eyes. His dressing sense was the only thing to take a heed at! He was truly a fashionist when it comes to dressing! After a short hug, the person separated himself from her. "Friends, enough practice for today! Let's take a rest for now! After all, the big show is just tomorrow; so no practice for these two days. ENJOY GUYS! So I'll meet you people at the venue itself. Till then BYE!!!" he said before lending out his left hand before Kaori all the while looking at her eyes, who without even thinking for a moment kept her right palm on his hand. "Bye Kuromahou! And best of luck for the marriage! Hope you two have a great life together!" said all of the people with whom the person was practicing so hard for the past few hours. The person gave a wide smile and then proceeded towards the lift.
