Chapter 4

Very hot water rushed down the black hair teen's body. He was scrubbing his hands cleans. Even though the blood was gone, Gau couldn't stop clean his hands. Gau couldn't even remember anything about what have happen. One minute he was asleep (do to the potion) next he was surrounded by blood. The curly hair teen didn't know what to do. The only thing he could do was to leave the scene before anyone could approach him. He ran all the way, and he even took the short way not wanting attention of the big crowed. Once he got home he quickly drop his bag in his room, and he dash to the bathroom. He removed his bloody shoes, clothes, and coat. He tossed them into the sink, and he jumped into the shower.

Outside of the Apartment

Raikou, Ramie, Yoite, Miharu, and Kouichi arrived at the apartment. While Raikou was busy to open they door, Kouichi and Ramie was talking at least that what they think.

"Come on Mr. Class President, why can't we use that spell to summon stars for the dance?"

"Let see the spell is not summon stars but to make a star and then it dies. Now tell me, what happen when a star dies?"

"It turn into a black hole," Miharu said in hopes to stop the fighting.

"Right, now what the next big idea you have."

"Fine, let see…" Ramie said as she open a note book.

"Hey guys the door is open." Raikou said to stop the fighting.

They stop fighting noticing that Raikou had open, and both Yoite and Miharu was already inside. The two teen walked inside that apartment. As the group walked pass Gau's room, Yoite stopped in his track. Miharu stooped and looked at his crush.

"Yoite, what is the matter?" The green eyes teen asked.

"Hey Raikou," the pink hair young adult looked at him, "is Gau here?"

"He should be."

"I think hear the shower running," said Ramie.

"See, so why do you ask?" Yoite didn't answer; instead, he was opening the door the leads the black hair teen's room. "Do you really think you should be going into his room?" Raikou asked not in a pleasant tone.

Yoite stopped, and looked at Raikou, "Normally I wouldn't, but," Yoite continued to open the door, "I think something is up." The door opened, and Yoite walked in.

"What do you mean something is up," Raikou said as he fallow in.

"I think," he saw Gau's bag, "I smell blood." He grab the bag.

"What do you mean blood," he said in a serious tone. Yoite showed him the bag. There it was blood cover Gau's school the bag. "How…" Raikou wasn't please.

"It not his," Yoite said to reassure him, but it didn't seem to help. As Yoite tired to explain, but Raikou was headed out of the room.

Raikou went pass the others who wondering what was happen. Gau was already out of the shower, changed into his pajamas, and now cleaning clothes the best he can. BANG! BANG! BANG! Those knocks made Gau jumped. "Gau," it was Raikou but his voice wasn't in a good tone. "Get out here right now!"

Gau know that if he tired Raikou would break the door. "Wh…why?" he stumbled over his words.

"Yoite found your school bag." Gau froze, for he knew that he forgotten something. He slowly walked to the door and opened it just as slow. He saw Raikou's face which wasn't pleasant. "Why is there blood on your bag?"

"It not blood,," Gau said as he moved Raikou to head to his room.

"Really, then what is it?"

"It nothing," they waked to the living room which the rest of the group was. Raikou grabbed Gau hand to stop him.

"Why can't you just tell me the truth."

"I am!" Gau didn't know why, but he was getting mad at Raikou.

"Yeah right, anyone can tell it is blood!" Raikou wanted to know why Gau would lie about something that was so obuslist.

"Why do you even care! I've been fine all by myself!"

"What do you mean by that? You was abuse by some damn teen, and you don't even tell anyone. How long you think until he was to show up here to cause something more dangerous."

"I don't care! Now would please leave me alone!" Gau gazed turned to Yoite. "Don't you every go into me room ever again!" Gau then stormed off into his room and slammed the door.

"Well that could have gone better." Miharu said, while Raikou let out a sigh.

"You think." The young adult walked toward them.

"Like I was going to tell you." Yoite said, "it not really human blood."

"Then tell me if it not Gau's or human then what is it. Animal's."

"No, not exactly." They all looked at the black straight hair teen. "What I mean I smell like human but fake human's blood."

"How can that be?" Ramie asked, "I mean what are fake human?"

"They human creatures that is made by high mage with alchemy knowledge." Kouichi answered, "It very hard to make and to control still they are very strong. I surprise though that Gau was able make without any injures."

"Why are you surprise?" Miharu asked.

"Because fake humans are not effect by potion, they have no sense of taste, hearing, touch, and specially smell. That why I any surprise, but" he looked over at the bag, "what did he do to beat them?"

"Who knows? Gau not willing to tell us the truth," Raikou said.

"Then why don't we find out our salves," they all looked Ramie, "We have Yoite with us. No doubt we can find the place."

They call looked at one another. Finally Yoite said something, "Let's do it. I have the sent, so it wouldn't take so long to find the place."

"Then it decided," Ramie said while the other agree.

Gau waited until he heard the front door closed to go to the bathroom. He grabbed his clothes and toss them into the washing machine. He then started to looked for his bag, but he didn't find. "They must have took it," he said aloud. He walked back to his room filling completely drain both physically and mentally. He landed on the bed even though was tired Gau felt his heart beating heart fast. Since Gau got back he felt different, it wasn't like him to just yell or even tell such a awful lie. He was just to tired to think about anything.

Others

"Are you sure this is way?" Ramie asked as they fallowed Yoite who seem to know the way.

"Yes, for the fortieth time," Yoite said his tone every so irritated by the question. "You should know that I am always right." Ramie just crossed her arm and let turned her head. Every else, expect Raikou, knew what Yoite meant.

"Sorry, Mr. Top Score of School." Ramie said, "Still, how do you know it was fake human's blood?"

"Blood smell like iron. Right?" They group nodded their head, "Well fake human's blood smell of iron and a mixture of something else."

"I think it is cause by the alchemy," Kouichi stated, "but not so many people know enough about alchemy."

"Well tell that who ever made this fake human."

They all stay quiet knowing how dangerous this could become. Yoite stopped in his tracks, and the others fallow his action. They was at the clearing. To their surprised the clearing was clean. No blood, no body, and nothing seem untouched. As they walked into the clearing, they notice that the clearing was just normal.

"Are you sure this is the place?" Raikou asked slowly moving forward.

"Yes, the scent is all over this place." Yoite said as he pulled out his gloves.

Kouichi stopped and look at the place. "You know what," they all looked at the sliver hair teen, "I think this must be a spell."

"What do you mean?"

"I mean I can fill something not right here."

"It could be an illusion," Miharu thought at aloud, "Can you break it?" He looked at the glasses wearing teen.

"I think I could, but I haven't been able to try it."

"Then I would help," the green eyes teen offered his help.

"Okay let give it a try."

The two made a spell circle though they not even sure it was right. They stood in they middle, their backs was against another, and they slowly took a deep breath. They extended their rods and closed their eyes. Everyone watched as light appeared where the circle was. Suddenly Miharu and Kouichi started to moved their rod around them and moved to the sides. Miharu fallowed Kouichi and Kouichi fallowed Miharu. Crack. Crack. Crack. Ramie looked around and noticed that the scenery was breaking. A big crack was forming other cracks. Suddenly the whole clearing was breaking apart. Miharu and Kouichi was moving faster. Finally all the cracks brook of the clearing; instead of falling the pieces disappeared. Miharu and Kouichi stopped. The clearing wasn't the same as before, for it had blood.

"So this is the true clearing." Raikou said while walking towards one of the body. He closely examine on of the body. He noticed that the blood had turn into sludge. Then he walked over to where his sister was examining some slash marks. "What do you think?" he said while bending down to her level.

"There not sword or even any weapon slash mark. It seems more like claws marks." She place her hand on the marks that was indented on the wall. "What did you find?"

"Well Yoite is right. The bodies are not human the blood already sludge. Still the wound look like that done by a animal then a human. So I wonder what on earth happen here."

"Hey guys?" The two turned their head to look at Miharu who was with Yoite. "Look at this." They gather around where the two were. They saw the blood on the ground, that didn't belong to the fake human, with pieces of glass. "Yoite told me that this is Gau's blood. You can always tell the glasses belong to Gau."

"Yeah, those are the same glass that Gau use for his vial of potions." Ramie pointed out. "It looks like they are all broke. For them to be in the same spot then they broke all at once. Then the side effect must had been bad."

"You mean," Kouichi started off, "that if Gau was here when all the vials broke he must have suffer the effects of all his potions."

"If he was here with the effects of the potion," Raikou said, "then who or what saved him?"

"Argh this is more confusing," Ramie said while placing her hand on her head. "Well lets go back. I think there not more we can do here."

"What about the clearing?" Yoite asked, "We can just leave it like this, or people would see this."

"Kouichi, Miharu can you take care of this." The two nodded their head.

Apartment

Raikou opened the door, and he quickly went to Gau's bedroom. He slam the door opened, but the black hair teen didn't wake up from his sleep. Raikou noticed the that was covering blankets the teen whole body. He went closer and place his hand on Gau's body.

"Hey Gau time to get up," he careful shook him, "If you sleep any longer you won't be able to sleep tonight."

"No." Raikou heard the teen's voice answer him, "my head hurts."

"Is that why you under the covers?" Raikou decided to sit on the bed.

"Yes, the light hurts my head."

"But the sun is going down, so it won't hurt you. Get out of bed. We have to talk about what happen to you today."

"No, beside I don't even remember what happen."

"I don't care. You still have to tell me what you do remember." Raikou grabbed the covers and pulled them towards him."

"Fine," Raikou eyes widen as he saw the teen getting up, "but like I told you I don't remember much."

Raikou raised his hands towards Gau, and touched the topsides of Gau's head. He then started to rub it carefully. Gau was kind of nervous when he saw Raikou's hand moving toward him, but once Raikou started to rub Gau felt his pain going away. "That feels good." Gau said. Raikou didn't say anything, for the only reason why he even touch the younger teen was because Gau had horns coming from the sides. Not any type of horns, but demon horns.
