Chapter 1: The Wind Has Gone North
In some place, that was unknown, Neuro was sitting with his hand crossed over his lanky body. He was thinking about the time that had passed from the day he left the underworld to the upper world to search for the "ultimate mystery" that will permanently satisfies his mental hunger. But after meeting with all sort of opponents such as X or Sai, Denjin HAL, all the Sicks man and even Sick himself, make him realize that human are beyond his perceptions. He sitting stiffly and another thought came to his mind. What Yako, Godai and Akane actually meant to him? Godai is his useful servant number 2 for doing job that Yako could not accomplish. Akane is a braid of hair that is attached to the wall in his office and helps him with the work meaning his own personal secretary. While Yako, he didn't know what the girl really meant to him. Is it his loyal servant, a rag doll, or his own possession that no one could took it away from him or it is a different perspective where he also didn't sure what going on. But he quickly snapped the idea and concluded that Yako was truly his slave and toy. He then stared into the open sky where the rain kept falling onto his face.
"It is cold isn't it? This rain…" he thought himself. For the first time, he ever stayed in the rain. It kinda comforts his soul. He got up and suddenly his strand of black hair that was attached with a triangular figure swiftly moving around as if there was a strong wind blowing it.
"Oh, a sense of mystery nearby. It looks like I will be able to ease a little of my hunger for today." He grins. He then looked around to find some spot where he could just easily jumped from the roof of the 10th storey abandoned apartment. But he didn't care much that someone might had saw him performing the act because he thought that human tends to consider it as an active illusion.
He then jumped from the building and landed perfectly on the grey pavement of a dark alley. He closed his eyes and walked towards the direction where his hair had pointed to. But he had forgotten something. Someone had been watching him from the dark shade of the alley. A smile crossed at the figure face.
"Nougami Neuro… I tend to see what you capable of doing something beyond your own imagination are. And then I will take what is left from you." Then the shade disappeared.
Neuro felt something behind him a while ago and the feeling disappeared from his sight. He could have heard someone's voice just for a split second. But who was it? He could felt a pretense of huge negative feeling from the voice. Although it kinda bothering him, he had to let it go and if he didn't do so, he will be missing a nice feast of mystery. So he quickly walked away from the dark alley and got out only to bump with a brunet girl age between 16 to 18 years old.
"Ouch, it's hurt." The girl complained and looked into Neuro's face. Neuro was still motionless and then make his stupid face. He didn't say any sorry and just walked away from the girl. Surely, the girl was totally angry with Neuro and went chasing down him.
