There was an eery darkness surrounding Shizuru. She tried to get up but found herself unable to move. Soon the memories of her fight with Ambrose came flooding back.
"Am I dead," Shizuru asked out loud even if there was no one around to answer her.
"You are," a womans voice said.
Shizuru tried to sit up to see who it was, but she still couldn't move, "Who are you?"
"I'm you, or you were me," the voice said confused, "No wait, I'm who you once were. Make sence?"
"No," Shizuru said point blank, still trying to get up.
"Your soul is still a little bit too weak," the woman said now standing above Shizuru. The young girls eyes widen when she saw an older version of herself. "I know you have a lot of questions, but nows not the time."
"Okay, but where am I," Shizuru asked.
"Your in the spirt world," the older Shizuru said, "Well part of it any ways."
"So I really did die," Shizuru said sadly.
"Don't worry, you won't stay dead for long," the woman said, "And when you go back your be even stronger."
Shizuru closed her eyes, "Strong enough to kill Ambrose?"
The woman sighed, "That's going to be up to you." Then she left.
"Wait don't leave," Shizuru shouted, "Come back."
"Shizuru..."
"Shizuru..."
"Wait," the girl shouted.
"SHIZURU!"
The young girl woke up and the first thing she saw was Aglaia, Haneul, and Michi standing over her, "Hey guys," she said weakly.
"SHIZURU," they all shouted hugging her.
She winced in pain abit, then remembered the hole in her gut. When they let her go, Shizuru looked down but her belly was completely healed, even the bruise from before was gone.
"In case your wondering why your guts better, it's because Haneul healed you," Michi said softly.
Shizuru turned to look at Haneul, "You have healing powers," she asked.
Haneul nodded, "Once I saw you, I went to heal you in hopes of saving your life. I guessed it worked."
"But I was dead," Shizuru said, "I know I was."
"We thought you were too," Aglaia said, "But I don't think you could be alive now unless..."
"Wait," Shizuru interrupted, "What about Ambrose?"
"Who's he," Haneul asked.
"He must have been the one who did this to her," Michi said.
Remembering his plan, Shizuru spoke up, "What time is it," she asked.
"It's almost nine, why," Aglaia asked.
"We have to stop Ambrose," Shizuru said trying to sit up, but the pain in her gut stoped her.
"You might have to wait till tomorrow Shizuru," Haneul said, "You're still not at a hundred percent yet."
"But we don't have that long," Shizuru shouted, "We have to stop him before midnight.":
Shizuru quickly told them about Ambrose plan to unleash demons from Hell, and let the world be ruled by 1,000 years of darkness.
"Okay, so we can't wait until tomorrow," Haneul said, "But how do we even find him?"
"I think I know someone who can help us," Aglaia said. She and Michi left, and moments later they came back with the lizard demon from earlier that morning.
"We found him in a cave across town," Michi said, "We figured we could try and get some answers about why you were attacked."
"She was attacked because we needed her to die," the lizard hissed.
Aglaia punched him in the face, sending him flying, "You have two choices; you can tell us where this Ambrose guy is, or I can finish what Shizuru started," she said pointing at his arm that was no longer there.
"I'm not scared of you," the lizard said, "It's going to take more then death treats to get me to talk."
Aglaia glared angerily at him, and was about to say something, but then she looked at Shizuru. She thought about something for a moment then started to say something in a different langauce.
All of a sudden the demon started freaking out," I'LL TALK, I'LL TELL YOU EVERY THING!"
"What did she say," Shizuru asked turning to Michi and Haneul.
"You don't want to know," they both said.
"If you want to find Ambrose, you'll need to go to the old temple on the out skirts of town," he said, "Now please let me go!"
"Fine," Aglaia said, "But if I ever see you near Shizuru again I'll... Well you already know what I'll do."
The lizard demon nodded his head, and when he was released he made a run for it.
"Should we go after him," Michi asked.
"No, I'm sure he's going back to the demon realm now," Aglaia said, "Haenul, can you take us to the temple he was telling us about?"
"Way ahead of you," Haenul said, who was standing in front of a worm hole he had opened up.
Not wanting to waste any time, the four of them jumped into the worm hole.

Ambrose was standing at the temples gate, putting skulls, crytals, stardust,frankincense,calamus,bergamot around it.
"At the stoke of midnight, my plan will be complete," Ambrose said before doing an evil laugh.
"Do you always talk to yourself," Shizuru asked walking up behind Ambrose.
Ambrose turned around, his eyes wide in shock, "How can you be alive?"
"If I didn't know any better, I would think you weren't happy to see me," Shizuru said with a smirk.
"Don't be so smug child," Ambrose growled, "I killed you once I'll kill you again."
"What makes you think we'll give you the chance," Aglaia asked walking next to Shizuru along with Haenul and Michi.
"I see you brought friends with you this time," Ambrose said, "Looks like I'll have some corpes to feed the demons once they arrive."
"Just so you know we plan to kill you before that happens," Michi said taking a swing of sake.
Ambrose laughed, "Like I'm really going to be scared of some drunk." He started laughing again, only stopping when he was hit by a fire blast.
Huffing out some smoke, Michi said with a smug smirk, "Not bad for some drunk huh?"
Getting up Abrose glared angerily at Michi, "You will be the first to die,"
He appeared behind Michi and let his hand ripped through her only for a log to appear in her place. Ambrose was then dropped kicked by the fire demon.
"Your going to have to do better then that," Michi said taking another drink of sake.
"But I won't give you the chance," Haenul said bringing his scythe to Ambrose neck and cutting his head off.
"You guys took him down that fast," Shizuru said, " I feel kind of weak seeing how easy he was able to kill me."
"Don't worry about it sweetie, your still learning," Aglaia said hugging her.
"Yeah, but I wasn't even able to defend myself," Shizuru said sadly.
"Shizuru, your still a child, you don't have to be the perfect warrior just yet," Haenul said, "And you know if you ever need anything, we'll be there for you."
Shizuru felt a little better at her friends words, but she remembered how Ambrose said that she was the one that he considered a threat, And that woman from before said she would be even more powerful now, but she didn't even get the chance to fight Ambrose! The whole thing didn't seem fair.
"Come on kid, lets get you home," Michi said patting her on the back.
Shizuru nodded slowly, then remembered the events from earier that day, "Hey do you remember how Haenul said that child service was at my house?"
"Yeah," the three adults said.
"Well my teacher saw my bruise, and she thought my parents gave it to me. And the whole time my parents were worried about what people would think of them, and weather they would keep their jobs, rather then if they would get to keep me," Shizuru said with clenched fist.
"Is that why I found a bag filled with some your clothes and your favorite stuff animals," Haenul asked pulling a bag from behind him.
"Yes," Shizuru admitted, not seeing a reason to lie at this point.
Aglaia sighed, "Well we need to find a way to get child services off your parents back. If they find your parents quilty you might have to move away to a foster home."
At the thought of never seeing her friends again, Shizuru felt a rush of panic go through her. "What do we have to do?"
--
"So you guys saved the world," Ayame asked, his eyes wide.
"I didn't do anything," Shizuru said," Michi and Haenul are the one's who killed him, and it didn't take them much effort." Shizuru thought about telling her Madubachi Trio that she died, but she didn't want them to worry.
"But what about the whole child service thing," Hatori asked.
"Aglaia put some kind of spell on them, so none of them remember anything," Shizuru said, "Not even my parents."
"I'm glad your not going to be sent away," Shigure said, "We'd miss you too much."
Shizuru gave them a soft smile, "I would miss you guys too."
She may not have been the one to kill Ambrose, but Shizuru thought that with the friends she had, she was just happy to have been able to see them again.
