Chapter 2

"Come on, I know you can do better." the person with blue hair and orange uniform said, to the other boy who was much younger, "Show me your what you have studied." the person said again protecting himself with his glove from the trident of the younger one.

"Torch, it's not fair, you're more skillful in it!" the younger one exclaimed, the boy tried to attack his opponent again, this time he decided to do some feints with his trident. However they all were failed as Torch could dodge the all.

"Try to find a moment to attack me." Torch said to his opponent.

"I'm trying!" the boy exclaimed, however it was incredibly difficult for him to find a moment when to attack Torch. Suddenly, while he tried to get his right leg the boy noticed that the man in the orange uniform did a strange move with his left leg. The boy decided to use it and directed his trident at Torch's leg. But suddenly Torch jumped and with one kick stroke the trident of the boy's hands. And in the next moment put his give to his face.

"Sorry, but it was just a feint." Torch said and did a slight flick at his forehead.

"Man, I'll never be able to get you." the boy sighed rubbing his forehead.

"Never say never." Torch said to the boy, "Your skills really are becoming better and better, one day you'll be able to protect my back." Torch put his head onto the head of the boy.

"Really?!" the face of the boy bucked up.

"Yeah!" Torch smiled in the answer, "However you must try to be better in reading yours opponent moves, it's one of the most import clues in fighting." Torch started to teach the boy, "As, if you won't do this you won't be able to defeat your opponent and will lose easily."

"By the way." the boy said picking up his trident, "When you will use your flame, during our trainings? I want to try to fight you using it."

"Hey, drag your heels, it a bit early for you, however I was thinking about it too." Torch pondered, "Maybe next time."

"I heard you!" the boy said joyfully.

Suddenly they heard some steps, and after a second they heard a voice behind them, "Having fun?"

When both of them heard it the boy flinched like needles touched his back, however Torch felt nothing, "It's you Mister Walter, I thought you were supposed to look for allies who could help us to distract Taimanin from us."

"I have just done it." Walter said, "I found someone who would bring me to some gang soon."

"Well, nice to hear that." Torch said, "But how he will contact you?" he asked the Demon Lord then.

"Don't worry it's my task no yours." Walter responded him, and then turned to his head to the boy, "So, is it really true that you're doing better in trainings?"

"I think so." the boy muttered, Torch noticed that the boy's mood changed quickly as the man with golden eyes came, so he decided to aid the boy.

"Yes, he is doing really, well!" Torch said with a raised voice, "He will become a really good hunter before you know!"

"I see." Walter responded, "Now, follow me." he said to the boy, but it sounded like an order, the boy nodded, and followed the man with the tunic, Torch wanted to say something, about the boy, but Walter was faster, "I have almost forgotten to tell you, that Mystic is looking for you."

"Have something happened?"

"I don't know. He said something about Russia and told to tell if II see you." Walter said and after a second covered himself and the boy with his tunic, what made them both to disappear.

'It seems that he want to give me instructions, before I go to Russia.' Torch said. He was standing for several minutes, and like he pondered about something really deeply.

Torch was standing in a pretty big room; it was absolutely empty even benches or chairs were in lack. The room was created for common trainings one-on-one just to refine your own skills nothing more. He decided to leave the room and go to find Mystic who wanted to have a talk with him, however, right now his thought was about that boy.

'I hope Walter will do nothing bad to him. I wonder why he reacts in such way at Walter, as I saw him; he always tries to seem non-hostile towards others. May be there's something in their trainings?' Torch was thinking a lot, but his ponderings were stopped when he bumped with something.

"Watch where you're going!" he heard a rude voice.

"Ah, sorry!" Torch raised his head and saw a man in dark and purple uniform, his face was blunt and rude, and it was also possible to see scars on it.

"It not like you're from those who ponder about something really hard." he said to Torch.

"Just pondered a bit nothing special." Torch responded rubbing his head, "By the way Archon, do you know where is Mystic now; I was told that he called me." Torch decided to change the theme of their talk, and escape it as fast as it was only possible.

"He was in the conference hall with our new guest." Archon said.

"You mean the woman from 'Black Wing'?" Torch was surprised.

"Yes, they are discussing something about our further act. But, in my opinion, I wouldn't cooperate with them." Archon crossed his arms on his chest.

"Why do you think so?" Torch asked him.

"I don't belive them, I feel something fishy about them too." Archon said his point of view.

"In my opinion, they're pretty good allies, the twins are pretty strong too." Archon turned his head towards the person with blue hair, "I and Etienne fought side by side with them." Torch pondered and after a moment he smiled.

"I see." Archon said returning Torch back, "Well, go and see Mystic I have to rest, before another sortie." Archon waved with his hand to his comrade and went farther by the corridors.

"Yeah, later." Torch said and went to the opposite side to Archon, 'Man I've totally forgotten to ask Azumi, to go to the Russia with me!' he hit himself at his forehead, 'And at the same time, I wanted to know how her sister was doing.' the boy remembered as he was going by the corridors, 'I think Izumi must be well since she is under doc's supervision. However it was just a day since our returning, I don't think that she became well too much.'

He continued his ponderings until he found the needed door. The corridors he was walking were lit well and it was easy to orientate in them, he was surprised to see another two people who also were standing by the door, both of them were similar in appearance, however one of them had a green scarf and another one had a blue one, "Azumi, Izumi how are you?" he said as he came close enough to them.

"Torch!" the girl with the blue scarf was a bit surprised, while the girl with the green one didn't show any sign of surprising, "Pretty fine, and you?"

"Me too." Torch said with a smile, "And turned to the girl with the green scarf this time, "How do you feel yourself Izumi? You made us to worry." Torch said.

"Whom I made to worry except Azumi?" Izumi asked him.

"I was worried for you too." Torch said sincerely. He didn't want to seem hostile to the girl a decided to be frank with her.

"How could I make you worry if you know nothing about me?" Izumi asked him again with the serious expression, suddenly Izumi was hit at her hip with Azumi's elbow, "Yeah, thank you for asking, I feel myself, much better." Izumi said rolling her eyes.

"At least you could say it putting more emotions in it." Azumi lectured her sister.

"Yes, yes." Izumi said with the same voice.

"Don't worry she will be fine." Torch turned to Azumi this time, "If doc is the one who supervise over her there's absolutely nothing to worry about."

"I see." Azumi said, she was watching at Torch wanting to say something, but the boy decided to distract this awkward silence.

"Is Mystic here?" he saw puzzled expressions on their faces and decided to describe the person he was asking for, "I mean the man with a cloak and a hood that closes his head completely.

"Yes, he is talking with 'Mistress' right now." Azumi responded, "Do you want to talk with him?"

"Yes, I was told he wants to talk with me." the boy came to the door, and knocked at it, he slightly opened it, and said, "Mystic have you called me?"

"Yes, come in Torch." the man who was standing by the table said the boy with the orange uniform, "Everything was settled and tomorrow, you will be able to go to Russia." Mystic stopped for a while and then added, "You will have only two days of days off so don't be long." Mystic said and when he wanted to say that Torch could be free, Torch suddenly said.

"Mystic, I wanted to ask you…" the boy wasn't sure how to say it, he knew that the door wasn't thick and there was no doubt that the twins wouldn't hear him, however he decided to be straight, "I wanted to let Azumi to go with me."

"You mean one of the twins?" Mystic said with wondered voice.

"Yes, the one with the blue scarf." he detailed.

"Well, it doesn't depend on me." Mystic started, "She is our ally, not a member of our organization, so if you want to know this, you must ask her." the man nodded at the woman who was sitting in the chair from the left of Mystic, the woman had black hair and brown eyes. She had rouge on her lips. She also was wearing a uniform of demon hunters, its color was blue. Her stomach was exposed, however all other part were closed.

"Mistress." Torch turned to the woman, "Can you let Azumi be free for two days?"

"It depends on what you are going to do." Mistress said coldly.

Torch wanted to say something about his aim of the short vacation, but couldn't as he understood what the woman was going to reject in his offer. Mystic noticed that disarray and decided to help him.

"Naomi, let him take this girl with him." Naomi wasn't ready to hear such things from the man in the cloak and the hood, "After all, they will leave only for two days, I think nothing bad will happen to us."

"Well if you think so." Naomi pondered, "Well, if she agree I'll let her go, but I hope that nothing bad will happen with one of my faithful servants."

"I promise you that everything will be just fine!" Torch said with a raised voice, "I think if everything is good, I'll be able to depart straight tomorrow."

"Yes, you should prepare yourself." Mystic nodded, "When you're ready, tell me and Walter will transfer you to Russia."

"Walter?" Torch was surprised to hear this.

"Yes, right now we must save our time, and not let be noticed, that's why Walter will transfer you."

"I see." Torch said pondering, and then added, "May I be free?"

"Yes, I told you everything what I wanted." the mysterious man said and after some seconds Torch left the room.

"Why have you let him go to Russia?" Naomi asked him, when they left alone in the hall, "I thought that all your members are important right now."

"Torch is a unique member, I let him do this, because he has specific circumstances, and I fully understand him."

"And what are these circumstances?"

"I'm not the one who must tell about them." Mystic wasn't interested in telling secrets of his comrades in crimes.

"Well then, let's return to our discussion then." Naomi decided to change their talk and smiled with a strange voice.

"What do you mean?" Mystic said.

"I mean the second condition, which you haven't even started to do." Naomi got up and came to her interlocutor.

"But we haven't caught Yatsu Kuro yet, I thought the first condition was primal." Mystic said her.

"Yes, but now the primal one is to obey me." the woman put her hand onto his shoulder and with another one lifted his hood up, and kissed him in his lips." she pushed him to the wall and said, "I hope you remember how to pleasure me."

"How I can forget it." Mystic chuckled and kissed the woman again.


When Torch left the conference hall, he saw the girls again. They were still standing in the same places in the same positions, thinking or waiting for something. He became enlightened when his eyes met the girl with the blue scarf. He quickly remembered the words of Naomi and came up to her.

"Azumi." he started a bit hesitantly, "I wanted to ask you to go with me to Russia." he stopped he wanted to add something, but was a bit worried and didn't know how to say it right.

"Is it a date?" the girl asked him.

"Well, if you want to call it so, then it really could be a date." Torch said, "But it's rather a business trip, than a date."

"I see." the girl was a bit surprised hearing such words, "But I don't think that mistress, will let me go." Azumi said with a lowered voice.

"There's nothing to worry about." Torch said with a merry voice, he was glad to hear the last statement; Azumi became more surprised from these words, "Mystic could convince Naomi, so it's up to you to go there or not."

'What is he up to?' Azumi thought, 'Haven't I told him that in our state it's pointless to start relations?' Azumi wanted to say something, but she wasn't able to start as Izumi was faster.

"I haven't known that you have such relations, sis." Izumi chuckled.

"We are not in what you're meaning." Azumi referred calmly, she wasn't even wondered that Izumi was interrupting in what had absolutely nothing towards her.

"Since when have you started your lovey-dovey thing?" Izumi came closer to him and brought her face close to Torch's one, Torch responded nothing, "Don't tell me that it began when I was sprawling out."

"Well…" Torch started.

"Really?" Izumi laughed, "Sis, you used your time well." Izumi said through laughing, "And you have a good taste." the girl started to explore the boy more thoroughly, "By the way, if you saying that you're not in such relations, how about I go with instead of my sister?"

"What?" Torch was amused to hear that.

"Don't what." Izumi answered immediately, "I think there won't be many differences if you take me instead of our stubborn Azumi, after all we are similar." the girl hugged his arm pressing towards him and watching at Azumi's reaction.

"I won't say so." Torch pondered with a smile and attracted attention of the sisters, "Your appearance is same, it's not a discovery, but what you have inside is entirely different. Indeed I know nothing about you and I can't tell you what I think about you. But still, I'll say you what I can see, and in my eyes the situation will be absolutely different."

"So that's how you see it." Azumi was breathless, "Well if you really think so, I'll think about your offer." Azumi said with lowered voice, 'Maybe he wants to visit his sister?' Azumi thought, 'As he told me she is very ill.'

"Of course, I'm not insisting, but I leave tomorrow in the morning, as I must prepare myself first and then our man will deliver me there."

"Got it, I'll tell in two hour the decision I think." the girl said covering her face with her scarf.

"I'll wait your answer." Torch smiled and ran ahead by the corridor.

"Hey sis, can I ask you something?" Izumi asked her sister, "Do you like this guy?"

"I don't know myself." Azumi said not understanding how she should answer this question.

"Huh?" Izumi didn't understood how evaluate the answer of her sister, "What have happened to you while I was out of duties?"

"Nothing." Azumi said, but still her chicks became red, as she remembered their pleasure time together.

"Don't lie I know you as well as you know me, and there's really happened something." Izumi came closer to Azumi and get her face closer to Izumi's, "Had you got something that only some pleasure time?"

"There was nothing like that." Azumi became much redder, but still she could suppress her indignation.

"If you say so." Izumi grinned playfully, "Well if you are going to wait for Mistress, tell her that I decided to go and rest for a little." Azumi nodded, and left standing alone waiting for Naomi, 'It's a good question, what am I feeling towards him?' Azumi dived in ponders about Torch.


"So kid, how are your trainings with Torch are going?" Walter asked the boy that was walking by him with lowered head.

"I think so." the boy answered, "But still I can't hold long against him."

"I hope you'll be able to do it." Walter said with a cold voice like he didn't like what he heard from the boy, "Maybe trident doesn't suit you?"

"No! It suits me a lot!" the boy protested of such idea, "I'll do my best with it."

"However two handed sword would be better for you." Walter referred to the boy, "After all this weapon is much better than tridents or spears."

"I promise you that I'll do my best with my trident, after all…" boy stumbled for a second and watched at Walter who was watching ahead not paying attention at boy's words, 'After all Torch gave offered me to use it.' the boy thought.

'Interesting, how long will his skills be developing?' Walter thought, 'Physical abilities are important, but I won't to see his own abilities. However, I can't hasten with it.' Walter looked at the boy, he knew that the boy was scared of Walter, and self-proclaimed Demon Lord liked that he instilled this sense the boy.

Their way wasn't long, after a little they found themselves in somewhat of a laboratory. The laboratory was pretty wide and had two surgical tables in the middle there was lots of tables with different bulbs, test-tubes syringes, there was a computer, in the right farthest corner of it. There also was somewhat of chemical stations for creating new substances. They could see only one man in the laboratory, he was wearing a white robe and with black trousers. The man had glasses on his eyes, and also he had grey hair. When the door was opened the man turned his head and saw the boy and Walter.

"Oh Walter, nice to see you." the man said, when he saw the man in the armor, and then he saw a boy with a lowered voice, "So, you decided to train him again?" he asked the newcomer in the armor.

"Yes, I wasn't able to train his abilities in recent time, but now I have some free time." Walter said with smile.

The man got up and came closer to the two, "I'm going to bring you, the instances." he said and was about to leave the laboratory, when Walter suddenly stopped him.

"By the way Etienne, don't be in a rush after our training. I want you to do something for me." the man in the armor said to the French, Etienne nodded and left them in the laboratory alone.

"Now boy…" Walter turned to the boy this time, "Do you remember what I taught you?" the boy slightly nodded, "Good, now I want you to focus. Close your use and concentrate your mind on the images that you see." the boy closed his eyes and then screwed up. Walter was watching at the boy. The boy squeezed his fists, "What do you see?" Walter asked him.

The boy started to tremble, "Blood." he responded, his voice was trembling along with his shoulder, "Corps." he continued.

"Anything else?" Walter asked him, "Or maybe someone else?" he added then.

"No." the boy mumbled, his voice was trembling, the boy turned his head away, he didn't want to show that tears were about to appear on his eyes, he wanted to open his eyes, but the main problem why he couldn't do this was in front of him.

'Why should I do this?' the boy thought, 'What are all these images? Why do they appear?' he asked himself in his head. But suddenly he opened his eyes as he couldn't keep them closed anymore.

"Did you see something else?" Walter asked him again.

"No." the boy said his head still was turned away; he didn't want to show his tears to the man ahead.

"Then why did you open them?" Walter's voice was cold, he demanded the boy to answer his question, the boy was keeping silence and when Walter wanted to ask him something again, the door of the lab was suddenly opened. Walter turned his head and saw Etienne who had two men behind him; the men were wearing T-shirts and shorts. They were barefooted; their mouths were shut with gags. The expressions on their face were suppressed, also they had some bruises on their arms likewise they were fighting someone. However one of these two tried to be brave, while another one lost all his will to resist.

Etienne said nothing but only led them to the tables; Walter was keeping silence too and was watching how the French scientist was doing his work. His skillfully place them on the tables and then strapped them tightly. However it was possible to see that Etienne hadn't many problems with them, like they were on drugs or drunk. When everything was done Etienne returned to his place and started to watch at the boy and the man.

"Now boy, I hope you remember what to do." Walter said coldly, and watched at the boy.

The boy nodded and came to one man, 'Why should I do this?' the boy thought, first seconds the boy did absolutely nothing only watching at the victim that was in front of him.

"Yes, examine him perfectly; try to imagine what you're going to do with him." Walter said him, "Do not hurry."

"I'm sorry." the boy whispered, and put his hands onto the arm of the man that was scared more. The eyes of the man became a bit wider, he lowed something and tried to move with his arms, but everything was useless. There happened absolutely nothing for several minutes, but suddenly the man widened his eyes and started to scream, but the gag was refracted it. Etienne who decided to work at his computer looked at what was happening behind him, 'I'm sorry! I'm sorry!' the boy repeated in his head. Suddenly the arm of the man started to deform, the nails started to grow, and it started to become a bit more muscled.

"Carefully, try to understand what you're going to do imagine the picture, and try to create it." Walter gave orders to the boys, "Pour your energy carefully and gradually, don't do extra moves that could harm him." the man was continuing to scream tear started to form in the boy's eyes, he wanted to release the arm of the man, but he hadn't enough courage to do this because he had the man that scared him a lot, "Don't distract yourself, focus on the energy you're pouring into him." Walter saw how the boy's shoulders started to tremble, and he didn't like such attitude.

Etienne who was silently watching at training was eager to see what was going to happen to the man, the man watched their trainings before, but still he knew that the boy was never able to deform limbs, but now he really could see how the arm of the man was changing, it's started to become bigger and bigger a little by little, and the nails became more sharpen and started to remind a demon's ones, 'Interesting, very interesting. Intriguing I must admit.' the scientist thought putting palm on his chin.

The boy's hands suddenly trembled he gritted his teeth, and then suddenly pulled his hand out of the man's arms and even fall down onto the floor.

"What is the meaning of this?" Walter came to the boy.

"Voice." the boy said being scared, he put his hand onto his head and tightened his fingers, "Please, let it be everything! I can bear it anymore!" the boy shouted.

"What voice did you hear?" Walter asked the boy, 'Another poor excuse?' Walter thought squeezing his palm in a fist, but then he heard the boy again.

"I don't know! It was telling something illegible, I even couldn't understand a single word!"

"Try to remember, maybe there was something that you could understand." Walter insisted.

The boy squeezed his arms and said "At syugbatn!" the boy shouted.

"Do you know what does it mean?" Etienne asked Walter.

"No." Walter responded, "Just a set of letters." Walter turned his head towards the man that was an instance, the hand of the man started to return to normal, 'Quite interesting…' Walter thought, 'It seems my expectation wasn't complete failure.' "Etienne..." the man turned to the French, "You will finish his training today."

"Huh?" Etienne didn't understand why Walter decided to such strange thing, "What it supposed to mean?" he asked him, "Does that thing that he said have some relation to your change of interests?" Walter asked him

"No." Walter said him with a smile, "I just want to see how my partner is doing, after all we were ordered to find you some allies."

"I remember this." Etienne said, "But still, I belive that you know what he said." Etienne wanted to know what the boy said him, he looked at the boy and saw that he still was squeezing his head with his hands, 'It seems that he saw something really fearful.' Etienne thought, but suddenly was returned to Earth with Walter's voice.

"By the way I want you to do something for me." the French watched at him and was interested what Walter was going to ask him, "Are you not too busy right now?"

"It depends on what you want from me." Etienne crossed his arms on his chest; the French was intrigued, but still added, "If you want me to help you in some of yours sorties, then no."

"I remember that Mystic told about your project, but I need another help." Walter put his hand into the pocket that was in the inner side of his tunic and took out something small out of it, "Here." he threw it to the scientist, while it was in the air it was easy to understand that there were two objects that reminded stones. Etienne caught them, and heard next, "I want to ask you to examine these things and know is it possible to replicate them."

"What? To replicate?" Etienne was sure that he heard things right.

"Yes, I belive you can do this." Walter said, and then explained, "If you do everything right you'll get perfect allies in the future."

"But these things were petrified well. I think that it will be even impossible to get any DNA data out of it." Etienne twisted the stones in his fingers.

"I belive you'll be able to this." Walter smile, "I heard many times that there's absolutely nothing impossible for Etienne Richar in science."

"You know how to cajole me." Etienne gave a hum of approbations, "I'll try to do something, but still I want something in exchange." Etienne narrowed his eyes.

"And that will be…?" Walter asked with the same smile narrowing his eyes.

"I would like to work with your blood." Etienne said him putting the stones in the pockets of his robe, "I would like to see how I can improve myself with it."

"Not a bad exchange." Walter smirked, "I agree. However I want you to start the project, and when you're able to start it I'll give some of my blood." Etienne smiled and came closer to Walter and stretched his arm to the self-proclaimed Demon Lord. Walter accepted his handshaking.

"By the way, do you know where Wojciechowski is?" the French asked suddenly, "I haven't seen him since our return."

"I don't know, right now I don't need him so there's no need for me to know for me where he wanders." Walter referred, "So, can I count on you?" Walter asked him remembering his ask.

"I will try, but promise nothing." Etienne nodded and then Walter covered himself with his tunic and disappeared again, Etienne took out the objects and looked at them again, 'Interesting what has he got on his mind? Definitely he is playing his ow game, but still what is he pursuing?' he squeezed the stones in his fist, and continued his pondering, 'However it's intriguing what conceal these things if Walter asked me personally to do this, doesn't he want Mystic to know about it. Well I'll play along to you for a moment my demonic friend.' Etienne chuckled and then remembered that the boy still was in the laboratory with him. The French scientist turned his head to the boy and saw that the boy still was sitting on the floor, somehow he calmed down and tears were stopped to pour, however he continued to sob, "Boy, have you really heard the voice? Or it was just a stupid elusion?"

"Yes…" the boy said, "I heard it." but it was similar to whispering rather a normal answering.

"Can you tell these words again?" Etienne took the paper and the pen from his working place, and prepared to put down boys words.

"At syugbatn." the boy repeated the words. Etienne put it down then he rolled the paper up and put in his robe, 'I'll think about it later.' and then returned to the boy, "As I understand you are to practice the transformation from one form to another one." the boy nodded, "Let's do this in that way, try to change their arms, but do it in a manner you can do this, if you need something I'll try to help you." the boy nodded, and got up from the floor, then he slowly came to the man and returned his hands on the same place where they some minutes ago. The arm started to deform again, the tears appeared in his eyes again, but still this time was a bit calmer.

Azumi decided not to wait her Mistress and started to wander by the base of their allies, 'Why did he ask me to go to Russia?' Azumi thought as she was walking by the corridors of their allies farther and farther, 'Is he going to visit his sister? And why did he decide to take me with himself?' Azumi wasn't walking quickly, she hurried nowhere, and wasn't going to sleep or rest right now too, 'Didn't I tell him that it's absolutely impossible for us to start such relations? However, Mistress allowed me to go with him so it will be a really waste of time if I don't use it. And that Izumi!' suddenly she stopped and remembered Torch's words, when Izumi offered him to go with the blue haired boy, 'And in my eyes the situation will be absolutely different.' Azumi's chicks became red, 'What am I thinking about?' she put her hands onto her chest, 'Do I really like him?' Azumi continued her way, 'Or is it just because of a moment of my weakness?' she asked herself again, 'I should control my emotions, but I only let them go! What an idiot I am!' she reproved herself, 'I even didn't notice how I started to give him pleasure. Why the hell I did it?!' suddenly she hit with something, but still she could remain her balance.

"Have you ganged up to hit at me?" an irritated voice asked Azumi, the girl raised her head and so a man with a blunt face, the man had black and purple uniform, she also saw that the man also had several scars on his face, his face was irritated too.

"Please forgive me." Izumi asked for forgiveness, and even bowed to the man.

"Skip it." he exhaled, and was about to continue his way, when Azumi asked him.

"I'm sorry, but do you know where Torch's room is?"

"Why do you need it?" Archon asked her.

"Well I…" the girl stumbled for a second, "We had a mission together, so I wanted to discuss something with him." she found how a way how to answer to Archon.

"Are you from 'Black Wing'?" Archon asked her again, the girl only nodded, the man was a bit scaring and she didn't knew how to talk with him, so she decided to speak less with him, the man went again and then added, "Follow me." and then the girl followed him.

'They have pretty scaring members.' Azumi thought watching at Archon, 'This man, the man with glasses and even the man with that cloak and hood, they all are so terrifying, 'I wonder, how Torch fits well with them? Don't know how Izumi, but it would be a really big problem to work with them; however Miyata-san and Mistress are from such kind of persons.'

They were walking by the corridor pretty fast and it didn't take long for them to get to the place of their destination, "Well, I'll go there." Archon pointed to the left, but then started to explain, "Go straight by this corridor, then turn right and then go to the second room, and there you'll find Torch's room."

"Got it." Izumi responded and hastened a bit.

Archon was watching her go and then he gave a lurch, but still he could take purchase onto the wall, "Damn bitch with the flute! If not her music…" after a while he continued his way left.


Azumi was thinking what to talk about with the boy, she didn't know him at all like he didn't know her, but still she felt that something was really common between them and that common thing was family ties. Azumi decided not to think a lot about it and just let their talk to develop by itself. She finally turned right and reached the second door; she took a deep breath and knocked at the door.

"Opened!" she heard a voice behind it, she opened it and then entered it.

"Hi again." Azumi said him.

"Oh, hi." Torch quickly turned as he heard the voice of one of the twins, when she entered Azumi noticed that Troch was packing a knapsack.

"Have you finished your preparations?" she asked him.

"Yeah, I haven't got too much things so it was pretty fast." he said with a smile, he put the knapsack by the bad where he was. The room wasn't big, it was pretty small, but still cosy, it had a table and a bed and several shelves for books plants and other stuff.

"Are you going to visit your sister?" she asked him suddenly.

"Yes." the boy's voice trembled, "By the way how could you find the way here?" he decided to hide his worries.

"A man with a black and dark purple suit helped." Azumi understood that it was a bad idea to ask him about his sister, and decided to talk about everything that hadn't any relation to his sister.

"Ah, Archon was the one who helped you?" the boy quickly understood who Azumi was talking about, "I'm surprised that he helped you, he always prefers to fuck off."

"I wanted to know." Azumi came to the chair that was near with the table and sat onto it, "How do you work with such scaring people, I don't mean that Mistress and Miyata-san are not the same, but still to have so much of them around you."

"You know, it was what I was asking myself a lot when only started to work with them!" Torch laughed, he sat onto his bed and their face finally met, "I found them scary and strange too."

"Have you worked with all of them?" she continued their talk about the members of 'The Third Law'.

"No, the man that helped you has never worked with me. However I'm not eager to work with him."

"Why so decisively?"

"I heard some rumors that he is cruel and if the ally is in danger he will never help him, however I don't know was it truth or not, but still his face scares me too."

"It seems that you work perfectly with that funny man."

"Funny man?" Torch didn't understood, "Ah! You mean doc!" the boy understood that she meant Wojciechowski, "Kinda, he was the first one with whom I was working, and the one who taught me everything in this organization."

"I wanted to ask you something." she said him after a brief pause, "Was it really true that it would be absolutely different with Izumi?"

The boy wasn't surprised to hear this question and was ready to answer it, "I'm definitely sure in it."

"I see." she smiled, and then said, "If you still don't mind I would like to join you then."

"Glad to hear this." Torch said and then saw how the girl was about to leave, "Please, wait!" he grabbed her arm, "Sit, for some more time." Azumi was astonished, she didn't know what got in his mind, "I feel myself warm and comfortable near with you."

The girl nodded and decided to stay with him for some more time, as she should prepare herself too.
