~ Last Chapter ~

Once at home he called "I'm home!" and felt a fury coming from the kitchen, "Welcome home!" shouted Tino happily but with a dark aura behind him. 'Crabapples' was all Emil had time to think before getting hit with a cooking spoon. "Where have you been?" asked Tino very darkly. 'This is going to be troublesome...' thought Emil.

"I see," Tino started after Emil's explanation, "So let me get this straight..." Tino took a breath in and said in one breath, "you were searching on the computer, then Lukas woke up so you cooked him breakfast, then you warned him about going away for a long time so you decided to go to Kaoru's house. In there you found Kaoru and Yong Soo playing video games so you got jealous and wanted to play too so you forgot what you can there for. After in was late so Yao and Kiku invited you for dinner and you refused so you came back home all late," Tino said in one breath and was suffocating by the end. Emil waited from Tino to recover and then nodded. "Do you know how worried we had been? Do you?" Tino asked loudly. Emil never heard him raise his voice that loud before so he was clearly surprised but he was determined to keep the poker face. Tino sighed and just said, "Go and have your dinner and next time don't scare us again. We were worried sick." Emil just nodded and felt guilty.

He should have just left a note. But he told Lukas didn't he? Maybe he wasn't awake when Tino and them came home so they were worried sick and they didn't bother Lukas because he must be asleep. He went to the kitchen and ate his dinner. Mr. Puffin flew down the stair and fell onto Emil's lap which surprised him. Mr. Puffin nudged Emil's stomach and look up at Emil. Emil smiled and was grateful for him so he gave him a fish. Mr. Puffin ate it happily as Emil stroked Mr. Puffin.

"I should train you, shouldn't I? So then we can do missions together and be partners," Emil smiled at Mr. Puffin as Mr. Puffin squawked as if agreeing to Emil. Unnoticed to Emil, Lukas was watching from the stairs. "You're not him, are you?" he whispered. Then he smiled to himself, "I must verify that..." and then Lukas ran upstairs.

The next day Lukas intervened with Emil when he was going out of the washroom. "Ice," Lukas started, gaining Emil's attention, "Do nations exist?" Lukas asked. Emil stared at Lukas blankly, "What? Of course they exist, I mean they are countries, different ones or where did we come from?" Lukas raised an eyebrow, "So you're not a nation?" Lukas asked. "Lukas, you're not making any sense," Emil stated, confused. Lukas looked down and sighed, "Do you know who I am?" he asked. "Um... You're Lukas?" asked Emil. "And..?" Lukas waited for Emil to go on, "And you're human?" Emil guessed. Lukas just nodded and grabbed Emil's wrist. "Come, I'll you something..." Lukas dragged Emil unwilling towards the door. "Lukas! Let go, you're hurting me!" Emil tried to tug away but Lukas kept on going with an iron grip.

Suddenly a black blur passed Emil and stopped in front of Lukas spreading its wings wide as if to stop Lukas. It was Mr. Puffin. "Mr. Puffin!" cried Emil. Lukas just stared at the puffin for a long time and then said in a dangerous voice, "No, he must find me, I cannot wait any longer!" Lukas shouted with a deeper voice. 'No, not a deeper voice,' thought Emil, 'A different person?' Emil had no idea how he knew but he just did, instincts maybe?

Mr. Puffin started flapping his wings, trying to stay afloat and started squawking in a loud puffin voice. Behind them Emil tilted his head. 'Is Mr. Puffin angry? Is it even possible?' Emil thought in wonder. Finally Lukas growled and turned to Emil, "Please, continue your search for Jewel of Dysutopia," Lukas' voice softened and his eyes looked pleading. "Please," was all he said as his grip on Emil's arm loosened and his original voice that Emil knew came back.

"Ice? What are you doing here? You're up already?" asked Lukas, blinking.

"Um... Yeah..." Emil blinked, recovering from the sudden change.

"What happened to your wrist!" said Lukas looking at Emil's wrist, worry shone through his eyes but none shone on his face. There was a purple mark on it from where Lukas previously grabbed. Mr. Puffin flew towards Emil, after sensing no danger towards his owner, and nested in the boy's messy morning hair. "I-I don't really know..." Emil looked aside, blushing as Lukas checked the bruise on his wrist.

"You don't really know?" asked Lukas curious. Emil just nodded and Lukas seemed to take the answer and not push deeper into the subject.

Then Lukas seemed to notice that he was standing by the doorway. Lukas was confused and then shook his head as if he was getting something off his mind. "How did I get here?" he wondered as Emil just stared at him. 'He doesn't know?' thought Emil confused, 'Through it didn't seem like him either... Should I tell?' He pondered at the thought.

"So... You had breakfast?" asked Lukas, his voice penetrated through Emil's thoughts. Emil shook his head. Lukas nodded, turning towards the kitchen, "What do you want to eat?" asked Lukas walking to the kitchen, picking up an apron, and prepared to cook. "Anything, I don't really mind..." replied Emil, trailing behind Lukas, regaining his train of thoughts. "Then what about some ham sandwich with eggs and orange juice?" asked Lukas. Emil just replied a simple, "Sure...," still weighing the pros and cons of telling.

That when Mathias barged in.
