"That is if you would. Good for nothing prodigy!"

Tasuku looked around and saw no one in particular. "I must be dreaming!" Tasuku thought. By that time Hanako woke up. "Ah! Hanako you are wake already?" Tasuku said putting the little girl down. "Yes I am but are we there yet?" Hanako asked. "No.. not yet but I think that in another five or ten minutes we would be down the mountain. We can go from the train a bit further to the nearest airport. We would go from the airplane back home… " Tasuku replied. "Um..okay"

Back at the Mikado Residence

"Mom I am telling you that they would be alright!" Yota stood up and comforted her mother. "Do you think so?" Suzumi had tears in her eyes. "Auh… u .. umm" Yota lied. He was not even sure himself what happened to those two. "But… I am telling you that I would bring them back!" Yota hugged her mother. Yota had grown taller but his looks and personality were the same from the time of his death.

"Thanks Yota… I am so glad to have you back! But I have learned a thing. When one happiness comes to me the other one disappears" Suzumi sounded sad. "Mom! If you say these things then more tragedies will lay on you!" Yota cried. "But don't you think it is right? First when Tasuku came to live with us I was so happy but then Gao didn't get along. When things were getting a bit better, Takashi and Gao left the house. Then you came but now Tasuku and Hanako are taken away." Suzumi smiled but a smile of pain. "Um.. It.. I know! It is true but…" Yota looked the other way.

He could not negate this as it is was true.

"But still! Okay fine. Mom please… please come back to your senses! I also feel sad but it doesn't mean that I forget who I am and what I am doing!"Yota shook Suzumi a bit who was almost out of the world. "Please mom! I promise you that no matter what I would find them!"

"Yota?" Suzumi looked at Yota with worry and then hugged him. Yota was a bit uneasy at first as it had been 7 years since he last hugged anyone but after a while he smiled. "Please Yota!" Suzumi cried.

Tasuku and Hanako

"Onii-chan? I think that is the train station!" Hanako jumped with excitement. "Yeah that's it Hanako. We have finally made it" Tasuku smiled. "Thank goodness!" Hanako sighed a sigh of relief. "Um.. is there any train going to Sapporo?" Tasuku asked at the front counter. "Yes… one is… How many tickets?" The lady sitting at the counter asked. "2 please" Tasuku replied. "There you go" the lady said very rudely. Tasuku understood the sign and sighed. "I'm getting a bit used to this now"

"Onii-chan…" "Um… are you going to Chou-Tokyo Ryuenji?" The women who had once helped Tasuku in her store (chapter 2). "Yes I am but what are you doing here?" Tasuku asked kindly. "Some work…"

"Oh I see"

"Ryuenji you must hurry back. I don't know why but it is very important! If not you will be in great trouble… please follow my instructions as they are always true!" the old lady alleged. "Uh… thank you very much! I really appreciate this. Hanako! Let's go! We need to get back after all right?" Tasuku smiled.

In the train

"So Onii-chan who was that old lady?" Hanako asked. "Just someone I met a while ago. I was kicked out of the force at that time and I had to leave my house as well. I wondered around and came in her shop. Her sons were very mean to me but she stopped them and she was proved kind by me an-"

"When you came to our house?" Hanako interrupted. "Well just before that. On the same evening. I took some food and went over to your place but the surprise I got was…." Tasuku looked sad as well as Hanako. They were sad at losing Gao. "Do you think he would come back Onii-chan? I really miss him" Hanako cried. "Uh.. well… As he was behaving it is rare…" Tasuku looked at Hanako who had lost hope. "But he may come back… some things are unpredictable…" Tasuku make a fake smile. "You really think so?" Hanako regained her hope. "Uh.. well… y …yes?" Tasuku said reluctantly.

"Yippee! I knew it!" Hanako cheered. Tasuku was happy to see Hanako smile but deep in his heart he was guilty and depressed to tell her something which was near impossible. "Then I w-" the train stopped. As it was a maglev train and was going as fast as lighting the break was very sharp and dangerous. Hanako almost fell off her seat but Tasuku caught her.

"What was that?" Tasuku wondered. Suddenly he saw a monster which looked familiar to him but the monster alone looked as though something bad had happened with it so he started tearing the areas nearby and destroyed it.

The monster was black in colour and had red eyes, a sign he was manipulated. The monster was a dragon. The dragon looked familiar to Tasuku. When he strained his eyes a bit and looked at it he saw his buddy 'Jackknife Dragon!'. Tasuku looked in disbelief then he ran towards Jack. His buddy, his partner and his only family!

"Jack… Jack… Jack! I knew you would come back!" Tasuku cried and as he was about to approach his buddy a voice shouted to get back. It appeared that Utsonomiya Toramaru who had once met him. "Toramaru!" Tasuku yelled. "I have met him after a very long time! The buddypo-" Jack had hit Tasuku with his claw and he had gone flying in the air. "Ryuenji-senpai! Ryuenji-senpai! Are you okay!" Toramaru ran towards the cop. "Y..yes I'm alright… but what happened to him?" Tasuku asked getting up. "I don't know exactly but what I can guess is that he has been mani-" "Onii-chan! Onii-chan! Are you hurt?" Hanako ran towards Tasuku. "No… thankfully I'm not hurt except for the bruise. But…. Hanako! Get back! Don't come near!" Tasuku yelled. "It's dangerous!"

"Yes Onii-chan." Hanako went back. "As I was saying… Jack might be manipulated by the buddypolice and if he is then only they can control this." Toramaru suggested. "How do you know it's true!" Tasuku yelled in shock.

"Auh.. well… Ryuenji-senpai you see the colour of Jack? It's dark but his actual colour is green his eyes are even red… a very important sign for it. You told me that the buddypolice hates you know right? Plus they took Jack away from you and captured him. Well then this is something to.. in a way torture you. If you see your beloved one fighting and doing wrong… even going to the extent of even hitting their own buddy. That is a pain! It must be to make you so downgraded in their visions. And later own they would say that even your own buddy hates you and hits you, making fun of you in a way. I don't know if it is true or not, maybe I am just making you more depressed" Toramaru sighed. Tasuku smiled. "No you are not… your explanation is tooooo good to be ignored. In fact the way you told me it all makes sense. Jack is maybe really mani-"

"Onii-chan! Look out!"

Sorry guys for the delay! Actually when the horrendous thing known as 'PAPERS' and 'RESEARCH' started I have no time… I am so sorry. Please be patient if the chapters come out a bit late. Thanks a lot guys!
