Oh no! What is Muraki going to do to them boys" He better not hurt them!

The Dangerous Encounter
(Part Three)
"Well, Where's the fire boys?" Muraki asked as he was staring down at the two kids that were now sitting dumb founded on the ground. "Is there a reason that you two are following me?" Muraki asked.
"Ummm well …" Yuri was trying to think. He was starting to sweat.
"My friend here isn't feeling to well." Yuu said.
"He isn't?" Muraki asked.
"I'm not?" Yuri asked.
"Yes he was just in a basketball game and started to feel dizzy." Yuu said. "I know we were supposed to have an appointment but I feared that it could be something worse. But when we got to your office we seen you closed early and I didn't want to have him wait even though he tries to lie and say he is fine." Yuu said.
Yuri finally caught on but he wished Yuu would have used a better subject. "I see." Muraki said. "Well, guess I have no choice but to open back up long enough to look you over." Muraki said. He picked up Yuri and started walking back to His office. Yuu followed him.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
"Okay now why don't you wait in the waiting room and I will take care of your friend." Muraki said. Yuu gave a nod and sat down in the chair. He waited at least a few minutes after Muraki closed the door. Then Yuu got up and started to look around. He was pulling out files and looking over them but could not find anything.
"Dang must be something." Yuu said and he continued his search. It was then that he found a door. Yuu slowly opened the door. He peered down the dark steps that must lead to the basement.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
"Now open wide." Muraki said as he had the thermometer. Yuri had his mouth almost completely open when they heard a crash. "What was that?" Muraki said as he looked back at the closed door. "I'll be right back okay?" Muraki said and he was almost to the door when he heard a thud. Looking behind him Yuri was laying on the cold floor face down and looked at have passed out. Muraki gave a sigh and went back to Yuri.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
"Ow that hurt." Yuu said as he found himself on the ground. "Honestly for a doctor he sure has a messy basement." Yuu said. "The mess was trailing up the steps." He added as it was a shoe he tripped on and came crashing down the steps.
"Now let see what there is down here." Yuu said. So not to run a risk of being caught Yuu used his mini flashlight pen to look around. Looking around trying to peer through the caked on dust Yuu found and old cabinet. He went over to try and open it but it was locked.
"Good thing I always have my Swiss army knife with me." Yuu said. 'I am always more prepared then Yuri. Speaking of Yuri I hope he is handling things. I know he doesn't like it when I use him as a distraction.' Yuu started to work on the locked doors of the file cabinet. He had to hold his breath at times since there was a lot of dust. 'I should report him for all this dust. It can endanger a patient's health after all.' Yuu thought to himself.
"Got it." Yuu said as each of the cabinet's file drawers were now unlocked and opened. Yuu picked up one file and started reading it.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
"Yuri?" Muraki asked as he was picking Yuri up off the floor for the tenth time.
"Yes?" Yuri said as all this purposely fainting was starting to give him a head ache.
"These fainting spells, do they happen a lot?" Muraki asked. Yuri gave a nod. Even nodding his head gave him a head ache.
"Yes mom they do." Yuri said. He said that on purpose but Muraki wouldn't guess that. Yuri tried to stand up but Muraki forced him back down and this time Yuri did fall on accident because as Muraki was pushing him back down Yuri slipped off the table. As he was going down he hit his head on the table. This really hurt and he winced. Lucky Muraki caught him and got him to lie on the table.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
"Wow … a guy that was a live for eight years and did not eat, sleep, or drink for those eight years. I wonder why he chose that." Yuu said. Just then a picture fell out of the file. "Huh?" Yuu said as he bent down to get it.
"What?" He said as he was staring at an old photo. Yuu's hand started to shake as the person in the photo looked exactly like the temporary scout leader Tsuzuki. "No way. Maybe it was his great great great great how ever many great grandpa" Yuu said. "Well, onto the next file." Yuu said as he started to stand back up but struck his head on the file draw above his head. "OW!" Yuu said as he grabbed the back of his head and winced.
It took a lot to not yell out. Yuu stood straight up and spotted a hidden compartment in the file drawer. He only saw this because a file was sticking out of it. As he opened the file his eyes grew really wide and fear was starting to set in.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
One hour later:
"I am going to prescribe something that should help with those fainting spells." Muraki said. Yuri was about to plan another faint when Yuu walked in.
"I got worried when you didn't come to tell me anything." Yuu said. "Is my friend alright?" Yuu asked.
"He'll need to take something for those fainting spells." Muraki said as he tore off a piece of paper. "But make sure you have his mother or father get this." He said as he handed the paper to Yuu.
"Yes sir." Yuu said as he put the paper in his pocket. Muraki looked at him and then frowned. He reached a hand towards Yuu who cringed.
"I must dust better." Muraki said as he picked off a piece of dust from Yuu's shirt.
"Oh dust? I haven't noticed any dust." Yuu said. "But is it okay for me to get my friend home? We don't live to far." Yuu said. Muraki gave a nod. "Thank you doctor." Yuu then got Yuri off the table and Yuri pretended or at least partly pretended to be dizzy. With as many bumps head had gotten on his head he wasn't sure of what part of his swaying was he faking.
Muraki walked them out and watched them go down the street. "What took so long?" Yuri asked in a low whisper. "You know how big of a head ache I got now because pf you?" Yuri added.
"Sorry, but I found something important." Yuu said. "Now when we turn the corner run." Yuu added.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
It was nearly five thirty when Yuu and Yuri came running in. "Wow you two must have had a lot of fun." Haruka said as the two boys entered the living room.
"Mother is Jacob still here?" Yuri asked as he was rubbing his head.
"Yes but why are you rubbing your head?" Haruka asked.
"Oh it is nothing just got hit with a basketball. Love you mom." Yuri said and the two boys ran up stairs to find Jacob who was just getting up when Yuu and Yuri both were knocking on his door.
"Hey boys. What's wrong?" Jacob asked as he let the boys in. The two boys entered in and sat on Jacob's bed.
"Here." Yuu said as he pulled the old file out of his shirt. He handed Jacob the old file. Jacob read over it and his heart sunk faster then the Titanic did.
"Boys, this is amazing how did you get it?" Jacob asked. Yuri and Yuu went into great detail of what they did right down to leaving the doctor office. Jacob smiled. "Boys I am proud of you but don't do that again." Jacob said. "I don't think no amount of flowers would help your parents out if you two were dead." Jacob said. "But for now I need to think on this and you two must promise to never go doing that again alight?" Jacob asked.
"Don't worry I think after this head ache I won't do it again." Yuri said. "I'm going to go take an aspirin." Yuri said. Yuri then left the room. Yuu was going to but stopped when he reached the door.
"Jacob what are you going to do?" Yuu asked. It was like Yuu almost felt that they would never see Jacob again.
"Nothing right. Don't worry Yuu." Jacob said as he knew what Yuu might be thinking. Yuu smiled and left the room. When the door was shut Jacob bunched his hands into fists. 'Muraki … So this is your sick plans. You have used me for the last time. There is no way I am going to let you hurt them or her again.' Jacob thought to himself.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
"Hmmm." Muraki said was he was looking in his basement at the footprints in the dust that were not his own. He walked over to the file cabinet which looked normal and would have looked un touched had it not been for the child size finger prints. "It seems that it is time for me to go." Muraki said.
He somehow knew that something was missing but he didn't seem discouraged by this. 'Your friend had gotten so many bumps on his head with all those fainting spells he had planned. No matter I was leaving anyways.' Muraki thought to himself.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
The next morning proved to have much on the news. "Hey Maggie listen." Haruka said.
"It's Michiru and what is it?" Michiru said.
"The doctor's office had caught fire late last night." Haruka said.
"What!" Both boys said as they almost choked on their cereal.
"Yeah and it was his home to." Haruka said. "But lucky Muraki was already gone on his way to the next town when this happened." Haruka said. "Well, you to should hurry up and finish because you got … chores." Haruka said. "Where'd they go?" Haruka asked.
"Maybe they wanted to get changed." Michiru said. "Anyways does it say where Muraki was heading next?" Michiru asked as she took out the clothes from the dryer and began folding them.
"Hai." Haruka said as she read down the paper. "Nagasaki." Haruka said.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
"He left." Yuri said as they looked and saw an empty room where Jacob had once stayed.
"Hey look a note." Yuu said as he spotted a note on the bed. They went over and read it.
To Yuri and Yuu:
Sorry that I had to leave. What you boys found was too important to ignore. Not to mention it was too dangerous for me to stay any longer. So I left I am in search of Muraki but now if what the people on the streets said are true then I must go back because I fear that they are in danger. Thank you guys for everything and tell your parents that I will find some way to pay for my stay here. If they ask questions I trust you boys will handle that part.
Your Friend
Jacob Kagegason
Yuri folded up the note and put it in his pocket. "I hope he will be okay." Yuu said as he went over to the open window.
Yuri could tell that Yuu was concerned. "Don't worry Yuu." Yuri said as he went over and placed a hand on Yuu's shoulder. "He is after all a night guy." Yuri said.
"Boys! What's this prescription for!" Michiru called up the steps. Yuu and Yuri just looked at each other.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
The sun was casting its golden glow over the fields as a train was passing by. It was headed to another town and right when the sun was no longer in the sky. A figure with wings come flying right out of one of the cargo area on the train. The figure flew up into the night sky. It was now more determined then ever in its mission. 'You thought you could get away from me Muraki? But you were wrong. I may not be able to catch you but I can save them.' Jacob thought to himself.
'As promised I am coming back to you.' Jacob thought to himself as a smile came across his pale face. His lips parted and only spoke one word.
"Saya."
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Alright you all know the drill now. I give you a taste of what happens in the neck chapter and I get some reviews on this story.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
"Look he probably is waiting for things to be safe before coming to find you." Yuma said.
"Yeah … but …" Saya said.
"But nothing! Look you and I are both Shinigami and with all the ways to find out who died we would have known if Jacob has died because he would be in the records." Yuma said.
