Anyway, before Leon and Kira started their day, we see a completely different site unlike the places we have seen before. This scenery was filled with rocks, stones, and surrounded by the ocean. It also contained a man standing In the bare ground. The man was very old-aged, staring towards the ocean, having a smirk across his face.

"Very rare for us to meet here Kakuzawa..." An unknown voice spoked out behind the now known old man named Kakuzawa. Another man approached, wearing black all over, A trench coat per say, even wearing a hat. Grinning like a mad-man, he walked up to Kakuzawa, hands inside his pockets.

"I see you have arrived, how is the dissemination of the virus going?" The old man asked.

"Very smooth, however reconsider using rockets like those in the recent operations. Thanks to Arakawa's work, the virus itself is developing rather fast, infection rate has increased ever since the rockets have launched." The unknown man reported, grinning as ever.

"Yes, one-tenth of mankind infected, far too late for them. After Lucy's capture it seems we have the upper advantage against humanity." Kakuzawa said.

"Ahh, Lucy... How has it gone on her capture?"

"A success, however she has changed..."

"Like?" Kakuzawa finally turned to see the Unknown Man, his smirk disappeared a while ago, hands behind his back, eyes looking towards the man's glasses.

"Her horns are now gone, her personality has changed, almost becoming an annoyance..." Kakuzawa explained.

"Any reason?"

"No."

Behind them once again was a woman, wearing slippers, nerd glasses, lab coat, and spew wee does she smell like shit, not really. The men noticed the woman approaching, turning to her. "Has the virus production quota set?" Kakuzawa asked

"Hm, I guess so." The woman answered, scratching the back of her head not because of itchiness but more of a nervous habit or whatever you call it.

"Good, now that it is done Arakawa, I need you to find someone for me." Kakuzawa said.

"Uh.. sure" Arakawa simply said.

"Do you still remember the witness that has seen my son's death?" Kakuzawa asked, in a gentle tone.

Arakawa didn't like where did was going, soon her anxiety was going to rise up the charts. "Yes I have.. I-" Suddenly Kakuzawa pulled a sheet out of his pocket, Uncrumbling it to reveal some kid that looks a lot like Kouta, Oh wait it is...

Arakawa's eyes widened to see Kouta on the sheet, she could have sworn she hid it. Perhaps she didn't hid well enough. "Is this him Arakawa?" Kakuzawa asked, holding it for the smelly woman to see. Arakawa had nowhere to run, she has to tell the truth, it can save her life

"...Yes." Arakawa said

"Good, I'm sending you back to the university tomorrow, find him and tell me where he is located." Kakuzawa said, looking at Arakawa with a cold glare, surely that Arakawa can do this simple job.

"Okay, I guess." Once Kakuzawa had no need of the smelly girl as of now, she went to her – honestly I don't know where she goes but she's probably packing up.

"Why find a boy that's just a witness? Surely there are other important things."

"It's better to tie up all loose ends before they start to become a major problem, besides there is nothing to worry about, soon the day will fall upon humanity... A new era will be created... Just you wait...

The door opened steady and slow, revealing to be Kouta, he wasn't very excited nor happy to see Leon on his property. Kouta was still upset about what happened yesterday. "I told you to leave us alone." He said with a cold tone, following by his facial expression.

"Listen... I might be able to find out where your friend is, the only problem that's blocking me are clues. Those clues involve you and your family." Leon said.

Kouta had a thought that he shouldn't help the fellow creep, although, he did said that he could find Lucy. Well 'could' didn't exactly convince Kouta.

"Forget it." Kouta began to close the front door on Leon, leaving him all alone.

"Wait!"

Yup, door closed. Now Leon had to think up something else, Kouta and that older girl who looked to be eighteen didn't seem to trust him, he had to talk to someone who had hope for him. Then again, no one in the family didn't seem to have Leon's back.

"How it go?" A genki like girly voice came behind Leon, He was annoyed to hear that voice. "I thought I told you to stay behind?" Leon urged to look back, hoping to see it wasn't- oh wait it was Kira...

"Hey just because I'm following you doesn't me I take commands you know!" Kira said, still holding the cute doggy Puppy on her hands. The lone creep wandered around outside, pacing back and fourth, Kira looked to be confused to what he's doing.

Inside her room, Nana was laying on her futon, staring at the ceiling. She doesn't do this routine that often, she usually does chores around the house or play with Mayu most of the time. But when she has time alone for herself, she thinks about a very special person throughout her life. She got up and headed straight to the kitchen.

Nana noticed Kouta and Yuka at the hallway, hearing something about that man yesterday. She would hear the conversation while they couldn't see her.

"Maybe we should call the police."

"No, we'll deal with this after class today. We are already late as it is." Kouta replied.

Both of the young adults walked outside, Kouta stuck his head inside the door to tell Nana that they were leaving. Now Nana was the only one that occupied the house. All alone... Alone...

Once the young adults saw no one near their door or around their house, they proceeded to walk to their destination. I realized I said 'their' three times. A couple of hours later Leon visited the Maple Inn again, wanting to convince Kouta to show him clues about finding Lucy. What they got instead was Mayu heading inside. Also they were outside, hiding in bushes. "Who's that?" Kira asked.

"Her name's Mayu, I've seen her before, come on let's go inside the house." Leon fought his way outta the bushes, sweeping some loose leafs off of his jacket. Barely surviving.

"Isn't that trespassing!?" Kira got out of the bushes too, leaving a minor tear on her coat.

"It isn't trespassing if you ask politely to enter the house." Leon said, they both stand near the door side-by-side, Leon knocked on the door, hoping someone will answer it.

The door began to open, revealing both of the girls that Leon saw during yesterday.

Funny how this ended similar to chapter 7...
