Chapter 10: Reveal

Time past by slowly as we looked at each other face. I was rather terrified from the words that Aisetsuya omitted a few minutes before…..

"Katsuragi-san, if what you told me is true….then Neuro will be in grave danger!"

I'm losing myself again. What was this heavy feeling? I didn't understand it and if I would. Neuro…. Is he will be alright? Will he be hurt just like when he was fighting with Sick? Or may be wounded past his body acceptance like when he confronting HAL after defeating Higuchi-san? No, I could not bear to see him wounded like last time (even though he was securing me from disturbing his rest like chaining me or simply put me on top of unstable barrel with a kitten on my head and also with all the trap he could set up in order to make me feel reluctant of moving from my position).

But still I'm concerned about him, about his wound and about his decreasing power. Never had I let him be alone at the time of his weakness, even if I'm, I will make sure that I arrived at the office early to check on him. It was not easy for me to do that, believe me. But still, whenever I felt lonely, he will always be there for me. Always tried to support me in anyway he can (of course by using his threatening skill or may be a daemon's style of comforting) and also always tried to protect me in anyway he could (he considered me as his belonging, nothing else). Now I was staggered again on what I should be doing. Could I force myself to be at Neuro's side when he was dealing with danger? Or could I simply walk away like nothing had happen between us?

No, I must not felt reluctant. I am who I am and he is what he is. No matter how people looked at him in different way, he is still the Neuro that I have known the first time. I will go to him and tried my best of supporting him even though that I didn't have any fighting skill like he does. I was about to leave my sit when suddenly Aisetsuya grabbed hold of my hand. I turned my face back to her rather felt a little surprised.

"Katsuragi-san…. Don't go! You will hurt yourselves badly. As for Neuro…. There's nothing I could do to stop this. It is his destiny to end like this. I ….. I couldn't force myself to see you are hurting yourselves any longer. If you go and see him right now… I'm sure that your heart will fill with agony…"

Aisetsutya was crying in front of me. I couldn't let go of my hand even though I tried so much to let go. She wouldn't let my hand go. She resisted to the very end until all my energy was used up. I couldn't bear to fight any longer and ended up collapsing in front of her. I was gasping for air as I looked closely into her eyes. Now, I had noticed that her eyes glowing magnificently reddish. It was more like a crimson color. Normal human eyes are not crimson. She is also isn't human. But what is she? Is she another Underworld being just like Neuro? Or mutations of cells like Sai? I'm beginning to felt dizzy at the moment and my eyes were harder to open. The more I resisted opening it, the more it becoming heavy. At the last moment before I lost my consciousness, I heard her saying something…

"Katsuragi-san, I'm sorry that I have to do this to you…. You see, the truth is I'm what you call as Agile. My brother and I were summoned to do someone's bidding…. The bidding of eliminating every single one of Neuro until none was left. This is our job for now. I don't want you to witness the death of someone that you cared about even though he is a majin. I'm sorry…. There's nothing I could do. I hope you will understand about my actions and will continue to live as happy as you want to. I'm sorry again and farewell, Katsuragi-san. If only we met earlier, I hope that you and I can be friends."

Then she vanished into thin air without leaving a single clue where she had headed to. I was forcing myself to regain my consciousness and only had the chance to call Godai-san. The sound of the phone being picked up at the end of the line could be heard.

"Shit! What do you want me to do at this time of hour, little brat?! It's 3.45 am in the morning! I will fucking kill you this time!" Godai-san's voice could be heard in the cell phone.

"Ne….. Godai-san…. Neuro…. Neuro…. He….. He …." I tried to remain conscious as I beginning to explain to Godai-san.

"Hey, brat. What's happen to your voice? Are you catching a cold or something? Where are you? You sounded like you are in a park or something with a sound of a fountain, I presume. What's wrong? Is that monster forcing you doing something late at night again?"

Godai-san sounded very anxious about my condition. But neither could he do anything by the phone. I felt very tired. I wanted to close my eyes so badly. But I could not do that. Not in the million of years. I remained still for a moment and beginning to talk slowly to Godai-san.

"Godai-san…. Can we meet at Sengokudo Park? I …. I have something important to tell you. Meet me there click"

The last of my strength was used for that purpose. My eyes were heavier than ever and the last thing I knew, I fell down and hit my head. I couldn't feel any longer my limbs and I couldn't feel anymore the coldness of the night. My eyes were closed so tight and my mouth omitted a word at that time the most important for me.

"Neuro….."
