By Bluestar076

Hey,guys! Bluestar here. This is the second part of the Dual Heat Attack arc,if we want to call it that way. And i've noticed that since this story talks about the sons and daughters of the Chosen Children,maybe these ones needed to have more space. So the introduction of this chapter will be dedicated to them. With this said,as always,enjoy!

Chapter 8: Dual Heat Attack Part II

A park,the perfect place to spend time,play or talk with friends or just have a moment of peace. The fresh air that passes though the body,the enjoyable perfume of the grass and the sunlight that passes through leaves. Some people even goes to the park to think of the past,like 12 persons who have dived into adventures many times,and now they have a peaceful life.

Mimi was walking around in a park of San Francisco along with her Digimon partner Palmon and his husband,since they had a date with some friends. "Come on,Taichi! You are starting to get slow!" She said,calling for her Taichi,who was behind him with Agumon. "Or maybe you are too fast for me! Can you just wait for a moment?" He answered. "No way! You know that i never go late to a date! So speed up!" Mimi didn't want to hear complaints and continued to walk at her normal speed. Taichi sighed. "She's very stubborn. No wonder why i married her." He said with a smile,trying to follow her. Meanwhile Agumon and Palmon were doing the same game. "And you Agumon? Are you slowing down because you want to stay with Taichi or because you too are slow?" The plant Digimon asked. "No,the truth is that i'm very hungry. Do you know if there's a bar around here?" Agumon asked. "What!? But you only ate 5 minutes ago!" Taichi complained. "Sorry!" His partner excused.

When they arrived at the point where they were supposed to meet with the others,they noticed that there was no one there. "It looks like we are the first one here…" Mimi said. "Well,if that's so,we shall be the one who will fix the stuff!" She was then going to take the basket and the cloth but Taichi stopped her. "Wait! Let me do this." He said. So he started to do all the work while Mimi and the two Digimon were watching him. "It's really incredible the fact that despite having almost 50 years,he manages to do all the work!" Palmon said. Mimi couldn't not smile. "Taichi is like that,he never changes. All that he cares is help his loving ones. That is what made me fall in love with him!"

After doing the work,Taichi rubbed his forehead. "Phew,done. Now what do we do?" He then asked.

"Not much,we just wait." Mimi simply answered. The couple started to look at the other people who were doing other stuff in the park,like playing some games or having a sweet walk. But Agumon was different. He was looking at the basket with the food while drooling. "Maybe if i only take a little piece of a sandwich before the others arrive…" He attempted to put an hand on it,but Palmon blocked him with her Poison Ivy attack. "No way!" You are going to wait just like the others." She said. The only thing that Agumon could do was sighing and accepting it.

Then someone came to break the silence. Some familiar figures came near Taichi and Mimi. "Well,it looks like someone came before us." The couple turned around to be happy to see that they were Yamato,Sora and their Digimon,Gabumon and Biyomon. "Hey. You're early." Yamato said. Just like the old times,Taichi looked him with a joking smile. "No,you are just late."

So the other couple sat on the picnic cloth with their Digimon. "How are you Gabumon?" Agumon asked. "I'm fine. As always!" The horned Digimon answered.

"You look so well,Sora! You know you seem younger?" Mimi asked,making a compliment. Sora could not blush. "Really? T-thanks. Everybody tells me." Sora answered. Immediately Piyomon got on her head. "It's because it's true,Sora!" She said. Then Gabumon looked around. "So…there is really no one else?" "Yes. We were the first ones." Taichi answered. But just a few seconds later,another couple came in. "Don't worry! We are going to be six soon!" A voice said. He was Daisuke with his partner Veemon and her wife Hikari with Tailmon. "Daisuke! Sister!" Taichi greeted them. "Sorry if we kept you waiting." Hikari said. The two Digimon jumped in order to reach the others. "Agumon!" Veemon exclaimed. While Veemon saluted in an excited way,Tailmon simply bowed her head. "It's good to see you." Seeing that act,Gabumon made a little laugh. "What formality!"

Now there were six of them. Half of the team,more or less. "I really hope that Daisuke is treating you well." Taichi said to her sister,while looking at Daisuke with a menacing stare. "Come on! We had been marred for 20 years,and you still don't trust me!?" Daisuke asked. "Since it's you,i always want to be sure." Taichi simply answered.

"Woah,Taichi looks like Kasai at this moment…" Veemon noticed. "Well,she is his daughter." Tailmon said. The blue dragon remained in silence.

"Don't worry! I'm really fine with Daisuke. After all he is my husband!" Hikari said with a laugh. "Some things never change…"

"We agree" Mimi and Sora said together. Then one person reached them by looking a map. "Excuse me…did you know where the trees zone are?" He was Jou. When he took off the map to see who was asking for information,he noticed that he found who he was searching. "Oh…hi there!" He said.

"Jou,you lived here for almost 20 years and yet you don't know where are you going?" Yamato asked.

"Sorry guys,but when you have a lot of stuff in your head,it's hard to remember things…" Jou answered. His Digimon partner Gomamon was on his shoulder. "Don't worry Jou. Stay chill!" He said,as he jumped from his shoulder to reach the other Digimon. "I hope you brought lot of fish!" "Don't worry! We took it!" Palmon answered.

Then it was the turn of Takeru,Koushiro and Meiko to show up with their Digimon Tentomon and Patamon. "Hey guys!" Takeru called their attention and waved his hand. "Hey,it's my brother." Yamato said with a smile.

"Sorry if we are so late,but a work of mine hold me." Koushiro excused. "I told you that you need a break." Tentomon commented. "No way! It's important!" Koushiro countered. Takeru of course laughed. "Come on guys,let's not think of it. How are you Yamato?" He then asked. "Yes,i'm fine,thanks."

When Meiko sat with the others,Mimi,of course,immediately came near her. "Mei Mei! How are you? It's a beautiful day,wouldn't you agree?" She asked. Meiko blushed,like always. "Oh! U-uhm,yes. I agree…" "Good! And i suppose that Koushiro is a beautiful husband!" Mimi continued. "Well,he's quite clumsy,but that is the best part of him!" Meiko answered. This time was Koushiro the one who blushed. "Come on,Meiko!"

While Patamon laughed. "Everything became very funny since many of you got married!" He said. "I know right?" Gomamon added,but Koushiro became even more embarassed. "IT'S NOT FUNNY!" But alas,everyone laughed.

Then he came even Iori with Armadimon. "What's so funny?" He asked curious. "Nothing,Iori. Absolutely nothing…" Koushiro answered.

"Oh,well,is there still room?" Armadimon asked. "Of course! Come in!" Sora answered. Then Daisuke looked around. "So the only ones left are…"

"Hey guys!" Another woman shouted. When Daisuke heard that voice he smiled. "Speaking of the devil." She was Miyako with Ken,Hawkmon and Wormmon.

"Aw,we are the last ones! Ken,You're slow!" Miyako said.

"Well,at least we are here!" Ken answered. During all of these years,Ken became way more optimistic. The story of the Digimon Kaiser was only a page of a very far past. Now he is surrounded by some very friends and a lovable family.

"The fact that he's slow reminds me of someone…" Mimi jokingly said. "Not now,Mimi…" Taichi sighed.

"Hey,guys! I'm here too!" Wormmon said. "Me too!" Hawkmon added. "Well,i've noticed it! With this said,we are complete. Hey Ken! Since you are here,why don't you sit next to me?" Daiskue asked to his friend.

"You are very kind,Daisuke! Thanks!" Ken accepted the offer. In fact,Daisuke and Ken became very good friends. All of the Chosen Children,after defeating so many evil Digimon had their chance to know each other better. Some of them even decided to stay together in love. Some bonds just never disappear. And now,this group was toghether for 38 years now. But before they could start eating,another unexpected couple appear.

"Look,dear! They look like Aria's friends!" One of them said. The Chosen Children turned around. Those two were Duke and Catherine Artorias. "Excuse me. I suppose that you are the parents of the members of the Chesire Cat Agency." Duke asked.

"Yes,we are. How did you know them?" Sora answered. "You see,our daughter Aria had joined them." Duke said. Then Catherine noticed two familiar faces in that group. "Wait…Taichi,Takeru is that you?"

Of course,Taichi and Takeru looked confused. "Wait,did you know us?" Taichi asked. Katherine smiled and answered. "Of course! I'm Catherine! We fought together in Christmas 2002!" At those words,a far off memory came back in the head of those two. "Wait! So…you are that cute girl we met in France?" Taichi asked surpirsed.

"Yes! It's me! I'm glad that you remembered!" Catherine said with a smile. "Well,if you are a Chosen Child like the others,why won't you join us?" Miyako asked,offering a seat for them.

"Really? Oh,you are so kind. Thank you!" Duke answered. So even Duke and Katherine joined them. After all,they made thrty,they could make thirty-one.

"Now that we are complete,Enjoy your meal!" Mimi exclaimed. As they started eating. Some of them ate in large quantities,while others were eating slowly. Of course,the Digimon were eating tons of food,but luckly,their partners knew that,that's why there was so many food. The first compliments were stating to arrive. "This is delicious! Who made the food?" Tentomon asked. "Each one of us did his part. But mostly,i did the job." Mimi answered.

"Hey! What about me?" Daisuke complained. "Well,you only made ramen." Hikari answered. "So what!? Even ramen requires time!"

"Well,at least there is someone who likes it very much!" Takeru said,while watching at Patamon,who was devouring those noodles. "Yes! Moremoremoremoremoremoremoremoremore!" He exclaimed.

"Patamon,you look like one of our children when they are doing their fight shout!" Hikari notcied with a smile.

"If there is one thing that i wonder is where did they took that thing?" Jou asked. "Maybe they took it from some anime. It's actually quite a thing today." Yamato answered.

"Speaking of which,how are your children?" Iori asked.

"Well,if you ask,Kasai looks much better since she joined the agency. Even if she is still a thug." Taichi answered.

"I seriously don't understand her behaviour. How did she change like that!?" Yamato exclaimed.

"Don't worry Yamato. Despite her ways,she remained a lovely and right girl. Also,having some of her relatives helped her a lot." Mimi added.

"Well,we all are a big family! Don't you agree?" Daisuke asked. The others nodded with a smile.

"And you Yamato? How is Kumo doing?" Taichi asked. But when Yamato heard that name his face became edgy and turned around. "I rather not answer."

"Sorry,he still hasn't managed to forget that day." Sora apologised,mentioning something that changed both Yamato and his son. "I see. Don't worry. Is not that easy. " Taichi said.

"Even i have still one thing that i can't understand. How did his and the other Digimon of your children evolved differently from us? Like Rina's Poromon. How did he evolved into a Tentomon and then into a Kabuterimon?" Hawkmon asked.

"That's simple. It's based on a thing that can be never changed: The case. Even if you and the other Digimon managed to follow your evolution line,there was still a good percentage that,even with the crest or the Digimentals,you could evolve into a completely different Digimon. There is even that case that if a Digimon doesn't grow well,he evolves into a Numemon." Koushiro explained. "But still remains a mystery to me the fact that Rikka's Digimon and the others never got beyond the Adult-Level."

"I still remember Mimi's face when she saw Kasai's Tanemon becoming a Gumdramon! It was so funny!" Taichi said with a laugh. It was the classic funny moment in a family to be quoted. "Of course! Would you have expected a plant to become a dragon!?" Mimi exclaimed.

"Even i was surprised when i saw Kouta's Tokomon becoming an Hackmon!" Takeru said.

"Let's be honest,we were all surprised at the time. Even i remember a funny episode! My wife wished that Aria's Gigimon would have evolved into a cute and fluffy Digimon,but when she saw Guilmon she fainted! I'm serious!" Duke added,making everyone laugh,but making Katherine blush. "That's not funny!" Katherine exclaimed. "Speaking of which,how did the idea of the Chesire Cat Agency came out?" She asked curious.

"Well,that agency became reality thanks to me." Ken answered with a smile. "I still remember it like it was yesterday…It happened one year ago. Since i work as a police officer,i was going on a case,until i met Kyoko during the journey. After we talked a bit,i said to her that i had to go on a case. It was in that moment that something in her surprised me. She asked if she could come with me. Of course,at first i denied it,but she insisted so much,so in the end i've accepted it. Let's be honest,at first i thought that she would have slowed me down,but some moments later...i realized that i was wrong. She was literally stoling my job! She was able to solve the case in a quarter of an hour. It was both incredible and bizarre! I'm actually smart,but i had to take some year of training in order to solve a normal case,while she managed to solve it in so little time. At first,i could not believe it. But then…i was happy to see that a young girl like her had so much talent and excitement,some things that today's youth lacks a lot. So i talked with Wormmon and my superiors about this and then i've decided that i had to give her a chance. So i've offered her the job as a police officer. While she was there,she gained the attention of everyone,so my boss was curious to see how she would work as a leader,since she showed great capacities of leading the way to her colleagues. So my boss and i found an abbandoned building and gave it to Kyoko. In a short time she found the others and that's how the Chesire Cat Agency was born." He explained. "Of course we got worried at first,since we did not know what direction the agency would take,but we were relieved to see that it became a big success! Of course,the fact that our children are leading the agency is a complete case." He added.

"So…it was born thanks to a…recommandation. And where did you get the money for it?" Duke asked.

"The three of us payed for that. Luckily,since it was a small building it didn't cost much. And yes…i admit that it's a recommandation. I know that's a bad thing,but i really wanted to see what she was made of." Ken answered.

"Oh Ken…" Wormmon was moved by those words.

"You don't have to worry. We accept that. And if we have to be honest…we are grateful to you. If it wasn't for those guys,our family would have been ripped apart by now,and our daughter would have a heart full of sadness. So,with all ourselves…thank you." Catherine said.

"Don't worry! They simply had done their duty! Also…even i don't hate the idea. I wish that they would have started in a few years…but i'm still fine with it. I'm very happy that they are all together after all of these years…" Hikari added.

"Plus,they have their Digimon on their side! Like we protect our partners,even they have someone on which they can count on!" Gomamon said.

"This idea might be stupid or foolish,but hey! We too,have dived into dangerous situation even if we were just kids. So i don't find it wrong with this,i trust both Tsuna and Sasuke. Just i said to them on their first journey 10 years ago. No matter what is going on,be a man!" Daisuke said.

"And one last thing…i think that they just dived into a new adventure. And i believe that theri adventure will be even more violent than ours. But…i'm not afraid at all. Because i can trust my daughters and the others. They are moved by a strong will that blows on them like a golden wind. We had our indipendence very soon. So i suppose that this time they have to be independent." Taichi concluded.

"You really never change. You still have that behaviour of a leader." Mimi said.

"Well,thanks!" Taichi blushed.

"Also,have you heard last night that someone is after them?" Miyako asked.

"Yes…but it's natural,Miyako. They are detectives. I think that they will have the strength to stop him. After all,a girl like you managed to defeat a Digimon like BelialVamdemon!" Sora answered.

"Hey! What do you mean by that!?" Miyako exclaimed. Everyone laughed.

There are some things that never change. Some things that someone had as a kid and still remains as an adult. Those words were representing all the experience they had. And their bond that never disappeared through the time.

They were a unique group. They were the Chosen Children. And now their sons and daughters inherited that bond. Although in a most different way.


Meanwhile,on the other side of the city,the second part of the Drake case was getting act. Kasai,Yatsura and their Digimon Veedramon and ExVeemon slowed down,since they were getting near the port. Kasai was holding her phone,since she was talking with someone. "They did it? Good…ok. We'll inform you on the updates." She closed the call. "It seems that Aria and Rina captured that hitman. Let's keep going."

"Oh! Ok…" Yatsura simply answered. So they continued to walk. But Yatsura thought that walk was getting weirder and embarassing. She felt the need to break the ice. "For all this journey,we didn't talk. Does she do that with everyone? Or is she shy? Aaah! I don't know! The only thing that i know is that every time i look at her face,she puts me a ton of pression…come on Yatsura…you actually know her for a long time. Maybe since you are colleagues now,you can be a little bit more confident. Wouldn't you agree? Maybe i should start with something simple." Yatsura though. This was actually one of Yatsura's normal thoughts. She really wanted to talk to Kasai,but she couldn't find an argument. Until something in her mind came. "Hey! Those are pretty nice clothes!" She said. Only an ankward silence followed. Kasai simply looked at her and then she looked back straight. "Thanks." That was all she said. Yatsura was starting to sweat. "Dammit! It didn't worked! Did i made her piss off? Or she thinks that i'm not a girl with whom is not worth talking? I'm starting to feel sick…" She thought. Veedramon behind the two girls noticed her and made a worried face. "Hey,Veedramon,Yatsura doesn't feel so good. Should we worry?" He asked,whispering. "No,it's normal. This is what happens when the master thinks too much." ExVeemon answered. "Oh. I see." Veedramon said.

Yatsura was a really complicated girl. She couldn't have a normal day without thinking a negative thing. The simple answer of Kasai already put her in panic. So she needed something else. Then Yatsura noticed something: Kasai with a cigarette in her mouth. "Wait. Do you smoke? You know that it's not healty. Think of it! You could have the lungs all black in 20 years,you can have a tongue cancer or even more-" Yatsura made the error of making a normal speech of hers,so before she could end… "URUSEI YATSURA!" Kasai shouted out. Yatsura cried,of course. "Waaah! I'm sorry!"

Kasai calmed down and looked at her. "You seem to have a problem. What is it?" She asked. Yatsura looked up and thought "Wait. Did she asked me something? That means that i'm not that pathetic! Thank God…ok…now i can talk." And started to talk. "Sorry if i have this mood. But the fact is…we have been walking for a while and…we haven't talk during this time. I..only wanted to know you better,even if i know you since we were two little girls…what i mean is…since you joined us recently i thought that maybe it would be easier to talk to you…since the others they do nothing but silence me..,"

Kasai blinked. "Good grief. From what you told me i assume that you have trouble socializing. My sister too,has that kind of problem. But there is a difference between you two."

"What is it?" Yatsura asked. Kasai looked at her with a menacing stare. "You think and talk too much. That's why you are silenced." She answered.

"But…what can i do!? I usually talk like this because i'm worried that maybe a case won't go well or that maybe one of you is sick or that maybe-" Yatsura was trying to give an explanation to her behaviour but…

"URUSEI YATSURA!" Kasai exclaimed again. "Sorry!" Yatsura cried out.

"See? That is your problem. But…i can understand you. If you really want to talk let's do it." Kasai added. Yatsura was feeling less sick and more happy. "Thank you Kasai! At least you are a person i can rely on!" She said,but she couldn't know that Kasai would have started with an embarassing question. "Single or girlfriend?"

Yatsura blushed. "W-what!? But no one says!" But Kasai was unpredictable so she asked again. "Single or girlfriend?" Yatsura didn't know what to say at this point. "U-uhm…" Kasai looked at her in silence and then… "Single or Girlfriend?"

"I suppose she won't leave me alone until i don't answer…" Yatsura thought. After all she knew that Kasai was very stubborn. So she sighed. "I'm single…but i have a crush." This was her answer.

"You're in love?" Kasai asked. "Very much indeed…" Yatsura answered. So Kasai started to walk again. Yatsura was confused. "What!? She asks me if i'm single or not and then she didn't ask who is my crush!?" She thought. But she then made a smile,since she at least understood what made Kasai speak. "Well…if you have to ask embarassing question to talk to her,i can do this too!" She thought. Meanwhile the two blue dragons were still watching the scene,and this time was ExVeemon the one to ask a question to the other. "Hey,Veedramon. It's normal the fact that Kasai asks things like this without thinking twice?" "Yes,it's completely normal. She's a thug. She doesn't worry about the consequences." Veedramon answered.

"Ok,now it's my turn! Thong or Babydoll?" Yatsura asked. Kasai looked at her. "Why won't you ask me Slip or Boxer?" she asked.

"B-because you are a girl…" Yatsura answered,but Kasai's stare was scaring her so she had to change the question. "Ok! Ok! Slip or Boxer?" Kasai looked at her and then she looked back straight. "Slip." Yatsura could take a breath of relief "Thank goodness…i'm safe." Veedramon and ExVeemon were simply confused and didn't want to add something to make the situation worse.

While walking,they were reached by a guy with blonde and curly hair and grey eyes,wearing a white and green shirt and simple jeans. "Hey! It's Kasai! Long time no see!" He said.

Yatsura got curious. "Did you know him?" She asked. "I can't believe is this idiot again…" Kasai thought. "Yes. He's Kevin Barton. His father is Michael Barton. In other words…My mother's ex." She said. Yatsura and ExVeemon exclaimed in surprise "What!?"

Michael Barton was a Chosen Child of the United States. In 2002,He met Mimi,who was living in America,but at first,it was a simple realtion of friendship. But then,when all of the Chosen Children came to America some time after Meicoomon's death,Mimi met him again,and after some dates,they became a couple. But you know,it happens often that when two people of the oppsite gender stay together for a long time,one of them falls in love with the other. But after two years,Mimi found out that Michael was cheating on her. So he left him. One year later,Mimi felt in love with Taichi,married him and had Kasai and Aisu.

Kevin came closer to Kasai,without knowing that she was getting angry. "You know,my father was really low when it comes to relationships. Cheating on your own girlfriend is a terrible sin! But i'm different. Kasai,if you are going to stay with me,i promise you that i will make you the happiest girl on this planet! What do you say,will you give me a-" Kevin was trying to flirt with Kasai,but as everyone knew,the girl really hated those who were trying to make her fall in love. So before he could finish or get even closer to her,Kasai grabbed Kevin's head and banged it against the wall at least five times. Kevin yelled out of pain and felt to the ground,bleeding. "Are you fucking mad!? You should have fallen into my a-" He was trying to complain but…"SHUT UP! I CAN'T STAND YOU FOR ANY LONGER! GO TO FUCK OFF!" Kasai shouted. Hopeless and scared Kevin ran away.

"She still scares me…well…some things just never change for generations…" Yatsura said. And they walked again.

"Say,Kasai,why do you hate when someone flirts with you?" ExVeemon asked curious.

Kasai hesitated to answer. "You see…many people say that i'm a beautiful girl…and that is the main problem. Since they say i have this beauty many boys try to make me fall in love with them. And that is what makes me angry about. Just because i have this gift of the beauty doesn't mean that they all have to be my boyfriend. I know that i'm a terrible person,but…i just want to be seen as a normal person. It's not that i don't like boys. This is the reason."

Yatsura was surprised by those words. "That's…actually a fair motivation…i wouldn't even stand this idea. But i think there's more about this…maybe…you rarely show your feelings to someone?"

"…Urusei Yatsura." Kasai simply answered. Yatsura smiled. "I think i hit the mark. Even with that behaviour she still is a lovely person." She thought. Even Veedramon smiled. "You never change." He said.

After a long walk based on knowing the other,they finally arrived at the port. In that moment,the cruise where Drake was moving. So the plan was to rent a little boat and reach the cruise. After they talked with one of the assistants of the port they managed to take a small speedboat,but big enough for two.

"Wait! If we are gonna stay on this speedboat,how will Veedramon follow us?" Yatusra asked. But Veedramon seemed very calm. "No need to worry" He said,as he dived into the water and started to swim like the reptile he was.

"Oh! Veedramon,you never told us you could swim!" ExVeemon said. He was flying above the speedboat in the mean time.

"Turn the engine on." Kasai simply said. Yatsura nodded and did it. The speedboat went to a modest speed. "The cruise left Los Angeles five minutes ago,so they aren't distant from the city. At this point i twill take us at least 10 or 15 minutes to reach the ship." Kasai said.

"But there isn't many distance from here to Los Angeles. Why is a cruise coming this way?" Veedramon asked.

"Simple. The ship where that Drake is standing is an MSC. A famous type of cruise that goes to many famous places of the world. What we saw was the departure time from Los Angeles to San Francisco. The cruise,probably departed some day ago from another country. It seems that our gangster really likes luxury places." Kasai answered.

"I see….oh,speaking of which…ExVeemon! If you see something in the distance,advise us!" Yatsura warned his partner,who gave a thumb up.

After a while,there was total piece and silence. A blue sky,a pure sea and a shining sun accompained the scene. This view looked like a beautiful summer sunshine,although it was still January.

"Aaaah! This is so charming…i wonder if there will be a sea like this in June…i can immagine it…me at the beach chairs,with a pair of sunglasses taking the sunscreen. Do you agree,Kasai?" Yatsura was caught by the view and asked to her friend,but she noticed that Kasai was turned around and distracted by something. "Kasai?" She asked. She came closer and saw that the edgy girl had a very big smile and seemed very happy. "I never seen her smile like that. What did she see?" Yatsura thought. When she turned to the see to follow the direction where Kasai was looking she felt completely confused.

A group of dolphins were swimming in the water. "She saw them…" Veedramon said. Yatsura…was speechless. At this point,she didn't know what to think about Kasai.

"Aaaah…man,i really love dolphins." Kasai said happily but still with her hardening.

ExVeemon too was watching the scene. "She really have strange tastes…" He thought. "Hey! They are running away!" He then said,looking at the dolphins,who were getting further.

"Hey! That's true! But why? They seemed so relaxed now." Yatsura wondered. Kasai came back to her usual expression,like nothing happened and immediately understood the situation. "There is only one answer to this. Something that scared them appeared. It's actually strange since the dolphins are very smart and know how to defend themselves,so it must have been something very dangerous. Every animal runs away when they see something more bigger than them…" She answered.

"Really? If that's so…i may be able to see it from here…" ExVeemon said,as he started to look more carefully. And after a while he actually noticed something: two pointed horns who were going towards the speedboat. "Master! Be careful!" He exclaimed.

"What!?" Yatsura asked. In that moment came out what looked like a fish with a diving suit. "Ah! What is that!?" Yatsura exclaimed. The being was going to attack them,but fortunately,Veedramon jumped out from the water and attacked him with a punch. "ORA!" The being felt in the water.

Kasai took her Digivice and scanned what she just saw. "Depthmon. An Armor-Level Digimon who's very quick in water and can resist to the water pressure." She said.

"So it's a Digimon! But why did he attacked us?" Yatsura asked. "Maybe he's working for Drake. Ok,let's not waste any time. Let's beat him down." Kasai answered.

Yatsura understood the situation and nodded. "ExVeemon!" Her partner flew down,approaching them. "Understood" He said.

Meanwhile Depthmon stood up,turned back into the surface and started to swim towards Veedramon. The blue dragon tried to stop him by slicing the air and attack him with blades of air. "Cutter Shoot!" But Depthmon moved fast and avoided the blades.

"What?" Veedramon said. Depthmon was in front of him and started to punch him. But he didn't know that Veedramon was better when it came to punches. "Ok! You've asked for this! Magnum Punch!" He started to punch against Depthmon,and of course,his punches were faster. "ORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORA!"

Depthmon flew away,but before he felt again ,he threw a bomb against Veedramon,which exploded at his contact. Veedramon yelled of pain and flew away under water.

"Veedramon!" Yatsura exclaimed,worried. Kasai of course,cringed a little but stayed calm. She took her Digivice again and saw the truth. "That was Depthmon's attack,Bubble bomb. It consists of a bomb which explodes at contact." She explained. "Maybe he has others of them. Be careful" She added.

"Dammit! What if while ExVeemon attacks him,he accidentally touches one fo the bomb and exploses! I don't want to lose my partner and-" Yatsura was getting worried as always but…

"URUSEI YATSURA!" Kasai shouted.

"Ok! I'm sorry!" Yatsura cried out. Depthmon jumped back again towards the seaboat,but ExVeemon grabbed him and flew high. "Didn't you noticed that we are two? Strong Crunch!" He bit Depthmon again and threw him into the water,making him clash against the rocks. But after that he noticed a bomb near him,which exploded,making ExVeemon fall.

"Not you too!" Yatsura exclaimed. "He must have dropped the bomb when he got bitten. If we want to defeat him,we have to take those bombs off first." Kasai said. "But how?" Yatsura fairly asked.

Meanwhile Veedramon regained consciousness. When he opened his eyes he looked ExVeemon going down. He swam fastly,grabbed him and took him back to the surface. "Hey! Are you ok?" He asked.

Fortunately the other dragon woke up. "Yes. Thank you." He answered. "Veedramon,look! Kasai and Yatsura are going to get attacked!"

Depthmon threw a bomb towards the speedboat. In panic,Yatsura threw it back. "Stay away!" She exclaimed. The result was that the bomb came back to Depthmon,exploding in front of him. Without even knowing it,Yatsura had found the solution. "Wait…that's simple! We just have to reject the bomb until he runs out of them!"

"I see…that's interesting…" Kasai said. Meanwhile both Veedramon and ExVeemon reached the boat. "Did you hear? In order to attack him,reject those bombs!" Kasai said.

"Got it!" Veedramon exclaimed,as he swam towards the enemy. "You go too!" Yatsura ordered to her partner. "Yes,Master!" ExVeemon exclaimed too and started to follow Veedramon.

Noticing the two dragons getting closer,Depthmon threw another bomb at them,but Veedramon with a punch,rejected it with a punch "ORA!" The bomb came back to Depthmon and exploded. Even if he didn't talk,the fish Digimon started to be afraid,judging by his action threw another two bombs. But once a trick is discovered,it doesn't affect anymore who gets it. Veedramon cut one of them,preventing it to explode,while ExVeemon threw it high,made a jump and destroyed it with a punch. He then looked at the enemy,who was starting to sweat. "I'll defeat anyone who will try to hurt my master! BEEEEEETCH! X-Laser!" ExVeemon shoot a laser in the shape of an X from his chest,which hit Depthmon,making him explode into data.

Yatsura could take a sigh of relief. "We did it." "What a disappointment. I wished for a better fight." Veedramon commented. "You will get a better fight. We have arrived." ExVeemon answered. When the others looked up they saw that they were at the right of the cruise.

"Good grief. It looks like while we were fighting him,we were unconsciously moving." Kasai said. After moving the speedboat in front of the Cruise,Kasai took two flags and used the sailor's language to ask the sailors on the cruise if they could enter the cruise.


The two detectives met the captain at his room,accompained by two other sailors. The captain was an old man with a white beard. The classic model of a captain. His name was Joseph Jackson.

The first thing Kasai did when they entered in the captain's room was greet him with the military pose. "Good morning captain. Nice to meet you." Yatsura,to be kind,did the same

The old man gave a smile. "What polite girls. Now,may i know who you are?" the Captain asked.

"My name is Kasai Yagami. This is my partner Yatsura Hida. We're from the Chesire Cat Agency." Kasai answered,showing the license. "Detectives." Yatsura added.

"Two detectives? Is there something wrong?" Joseph asked.

"Actually yes. There is a mafia boss from Los Angeles here in this ship who is trying to wipe out our agency." Kasai answered. "His name is Drake Ivan!" Yatsura added.

"Really?" The captain asked worried.

"Yes. We humbly ask you to let us move in the ship in order to find him. Once we have done,we shall leave the cruise." Kasai answered for the third time,but still with patience. "Just for this case!" Yatsura added. At this time Kasai was starting to get annoyed. "Could you please shut up? Oh wait,i was wrong. Urusei Yatsura."

"…Sorry." Yatsura apologized.

The captain softly scratched his long beard and decided. "Ok. You can go. It's my primal duty of a captain to protect passengers. If you want more information about the ship you can ask to the sailors."

Kasai and Yatsura bowed their heads. "Thank you. We appreciate that." Kasai said.

Joseph then turned on the megaphone in every part of the ship. "Attention to all passengers. The captain's here. We inform you that if you see two young girls walking around through the ship,you have to know that they are two detectives who are searching for a gangster who is in this ship. But please don't panic. These girls and the members of the staff will take care of him. If they ask you something please cooperate. I close."

Rumors passed between the passengers.

"Really? A gangster?"

"Why can't we have a normal vacation!?"

"Well,if they are going to handle it,we can stay chill,right?"

But one of them had a very particular reaction to the message. It was a man with short hair,short beard wearing a gallant white dress. He seemed very afraid and scared,judging by the trembling skin,the sweat on his body and the visible vein on his head. After the captain's message he hid behind a wall in order to not make clear his fears. "G-Gangster!? Are they after me!? This cannot be! I left a Depthmon,who was under my service near the ship! Are you telling me that they have defeated him!? At this point there is no other way…" He thought. He then grabbed his phone and tried to have a contact with one of his men. But only the voice mail answered. "Dammit! Guliver! Answer the fucking phone! How can you be so retarded!?" But then he realized a possible answer,which was the actual truth. "Wait…if he doesn't answer…could it be…Could it be that he,too,got defeated!? DAMMIT!" He exclaimed. Luckily the other passengers were doing some other stuff,so they didn't hear him. "Ok…calm down." He then grabbed a little bottle of alcohol and drank it. But then he threw it on the ground. "FUCKING DAMMIT! How could it happen that two members of my organization got beaten up by some detectives!? And judging by their appereances they must be 18 years old or something! THEY ARE FRICKING KIDS!" He added. "Fine…you little brats have crossed the line…crushing my honour by defeating my men at your age is a sin that can only be cleaned with your lives…My Digimon really likes to make quick and painless deaths…" He then went away.

Before Kasai and Yatsura could leave,Joseph stopped them. "Oh! By the way,you know that my grandson works for the police? So he has a work similar to yours!" He said,laughing. Kasai had a smile but she was actually nervous,because she knew that story wasn't going to end there. "Oh no…this is one of those geezers that like to talk too much…" She thought.

After a very long chat,Kasai and Yatsura came to the outside of the cruise. Yatsura had yet to recover from the infinite words of the captain. "Please…air…" ExVeemon rightly remembered that they were on a public place. "Master,you may give a bad reputation of yourself." So his partner shaked her head and came back to a normal face. "Ok. I'm fine. Let's find this Gangster!" She exclaimed,but then she realized something. "…but…where do we start?"

"Good grief…If you really are a detective,you should always know how to start an investigation. Am i right?" Kasai said,complaining about the naivety of her friend.

"Sorry…man,this is so embarassing…" Yatsura excused.

"Anyways…this is a very big ship. So,interrogate everyone would be a terrible waste of time. Since we have the access to every room of the cruise,we shall go to all of them and act like normal passengers." Kasai already had a plan to use. Like her father in the past,she had the ability to lead her comrades.

"What do you mean?" Veedramon asked. "Probably the man we are looking for is in disguise and he's trying his best to not seem strange. We'll have to use his own game,we'll just look around the ship like normal tourists. Sometimes we can also have a chat with the passengers." Kasai explained. "Ok. Let's go." She then startet to walk towards the inside of the cruise.

Yatsura followed her and smiled while looking at her. She felt a big appreciation for the resolve of her friend. "Wow,Kasai acts like a true leader…in fact,everyone has more or less a strong will that let them go beyond every expectations. People like Kasai,Kyoko or Kumo are so full of determination that they hardly know how to give up or think to negative things. But i'm not like them…that makes me feel ashamed. Is it really because i think and talk too much? I really want to try to be a positive person…that's why i joined the agency in the first place. But…how can i do this?" Thoughts of inferiority and a little bit of jealousy were passing through her head. While she was looking at Kasai,she felt a bit useless. Until now,the other girl did all the job,while she was only following her words. Maybe because she actually didn't know how to move for fear. But if she couldn't do much,then why she was still there?

ExVeemon noticed that Yatsura was smiling,but he knew that she was actually suffering for something. "Master,are you ok?" He said,trying to get her attention. Yatsura woke up from her thoughts. "What? Oh! Yes,i'm fine! Don't worry." She said.

But her Digimon partner immediately knew what was going on,but in order to not make her even sadder,he only said one thing. "Master,if you are feeling bad,don't worry. I'll always be there to help you."

By those words,Yatsura understood that ExVeemon noticed that she was sad. She really didn't what to say. But she still appreciated what he said to her "Thanks ExVeemon…come on,let's go." And they reached the others.

At the superior floor there were only some seats and a reception. So they used the stairs to go to the lower floor,which it looked like a shopping center. There was everything: A bar,a dress shop,a game room,a grocery shop and even more. Yatsura was surprised to see all of that stuff in a ship.

"Well,i guess that this is the perfect means of travel for honeymoons…and for rich people." Kasai said.

"I really want to see all of these places…" Yatsura said with hoping stars,but she also knew that she had to focus on the mission. But this did not prevent her from peeking at the shops. The first place they headed was a bar. When Kasai entered the bar she immediately looked every person inside of it. She knew that the first thing to do when you are searching a criminal among thousands or even milions of people is never trust anyone. She then murmured at her partner. "If you see someone suspicious,don't hesitate to attack him." Veedramon nodded. "You can count of it"

They went to the reception for drink something. Then they would have checked every table. The barman came to talk to him. "What do you wish?" He asked.

"For me an organic juice fruit,please." Yatsura ordered. She was the kind of girl that liked to keeping fit. "Me,too." ExVeemon added.

The barman then looked at Kasai. "And for you,young lady?" He asked. Kasai simply put some coins on the table to pay. "A glass of iced tea." She simply said. "Me too." Veedramon added. It looked like the humans and Digimon had similar tastes to their partners.

After paying,they drank. Yatsura drank her juice with a face that even unintentionally looked very cute,like a loli girl. ExVeemon drank in a normal way. But the most interesting cases were Kasai and Veedramon. Their experssions were the most serious you could ever find. It looked like their eyes were tinted,as they drank the tea with a few sips. When they ran out of tea they put the glasses on the table with strenght,but still without breaking them or leave a crack on them. The barman looked at them in a weird way and went to serve other costumers.

"Even in a break,they keep their serious mood…" ExVeemon thought. After their little break they cheked the other tables to see if there was a suspicious person. The method of Kasai was looking at a singular person and judging by his or her expression she could see if he or she was a bad person.

"Too stupid. Too innocent. Too fat. Too naive." These were some of the comments she had in mind.

Yatsura actually understood what Kasai was doing and tried to do the same. "Too young. Too sleepy. Too slow. Too poor in reflexes. Hey,it actually works! Well,the fact that i'm helping her in the case makes me feel better…but doesn't that mean that i'm copying her? …Never mind." She thought.

"Ok. It seems that there is no one dangerous here. Let's go." Veedramon said.

"I agree. I watched most of the people inside here and they looked normal." Yatsura added. Kasai heard those words and motioned a smile. "Well done." She then moved towards the game room. "Good grief…"

Yatsura showed a little smile but she was feeling great on the inside. The few times she took a compliment she felt pure enthiusasm on her heart,since she was a girl with a not so great self-esteem.

Although it was inside a cruise,the game room was pretty big,with all classic games like the mini basket or the rodeo.

"There are lots of guys of your age here. Are you sure that a mafia boss could be among them?" ExVeemon asked,looking around.

"You can never be sure when it comes about criminals,especially gangsters. I've read somewhere that many years ago a 15 years old boy became a mafia boss. Although it is a legend,this could be used as a reference,since things like these can happen in this world. So let's check it out." Kasai answered.

While they checked the room,Yatsura had another of her thoughts. "There are so many games here…" She then looked at Kasai. "I wonder…hey,Kasai! I know that we are in a case and we shouldn't waste time,but…since we are here…would it bother you if we tried any games?" She then asked. Yatsura knew what was right,but she didn't want to miss an opportunity to know better her colleague.

Kasai looked at her with a stare that could make everyone's blood freeze. "Why are you asking me?" She then asked. Yatsura trembled a little for that stare but she answered anyway. "W-well…it's because i wanted to have a normal moment to you…and since the chat from before was embarassing…"

Kasai had still that stare but then she answered. "You know what? Why not?" Yatsura smiled. "I can't believe i did it!" "But only a few games." Kasai added.

Some minutes later Kasai was in front of the basket game,ready to throw her ball. When she did,the ball immediately entered the 100 points hole. Veedramon,too got 100 points at the first attempt.

"Such precision! How can you do that?" Yatsura asked,surpirsed.

"We are specialized in the fight,and since that,we have to know how to hit the target with the best precision." Veedramon answered. "Plus,Veedramon has a good precision and speed himself,especially when it comes,of course to punches. I wonder what levels he could reach if he can evolve." Kasai added. "You should try a game like this too."

"Of course!" Yatsura answered with a smile. She then looked around to see other games of the same type and saw the opportunity. "How about the rifle game?"

When they went to the rifle game,they saw Drake,but they didn't know that he was the man they were looking for. When Drake saw them he opened his eyes a little because he thought that if some people came near him it could have been trouble,maybe because he was showing his behaviour as a gangster. The worries for him were becoming even bigger when he saw that the people approaching them were two young girls,so the memory of the words of the captain came immediately. "Two young girls!? Judging by their look,they are 18 years old…just like what i thought before! If they discover that i am the boss of the mafia they are gonna KILL ME! OK OK OK calm down,Drake,calm down…if i act like nothing is happening,it'll be fine." He then looked at the game near to him and had an idea to end his problems. "Yes…if i challenge them and win they will be distracted by the fact that they lost,even if it is only for a few seconds...i'll use that opportunity to finish both them and their Digimon in one strike."

"Hm? Excuse me sir,are you playing at the moment?" Yatsura asked when he saw the man. Drake did his best to not look suspicious and greeted them. "Well,i was going to play,but since we are here…how about a challenge?" He asked.

"A challenge?" ExVeemon asked. Drake gave a big smile and answered. "Of course! You know,the coincidence! After all,everyone in the cruise likes to talk with the other passengers! Let's see…the one who hits the most bottles wins and gets the tickets of the other! What do you think?" He asked. But pression was going to take over him again since the two girls looked at him in a suspicious way. Did they hit the mark or not? Despite the pressure,Drake kept the smile.

"Very well. You'll play with my friend. Right,Yatsura?" Kasai asked. "Of course." Yatsura simply answered. "But i'm generous,i want you to be the first one." She added.

"What the hell are they thinking? I don't like how this is going…" Drake thought. "W-well,if you insist…" He then took one of the fake arms: a rifle,of course. "This will go!" He then started to point at one of the bottles. "What is this sense of fear that i'm feeling? I am a boss of the mafia…how can i tremble while holding a gun? But still it happens…is it because i think of the possibility that those two girls have found me? No…i cannot let myself drown into anxiety. Ok…look at the bottle…then shoot!" This was his thought. The shoot hit perfectly the bottle,making it fall. "Phew. Well! Sure i have been lucky! Ok…next one!" He shoot to another bottle,but this time he missed. He shoot a third time,but the bottle didn't fall. After two other mistakes,he ended the shots.

"Ok. You made only one bottle fall,you get only one ticket." The asisstant said. Drake grabbed it in silence. His not saying a word,made the two Chosen Children even more suspicious. "Ok,now it's my turn. I'll use the gun instead." After grabbing it she aimed at the first bottle. "If you want a perfect hit…don't think to anything else. Only the target…" Yatsura thought. She had some experiences back with guns,since she was a detective. She could feel herself at home about the topic. Indeed,all of her shoots made five bottles fall.

Drake was speechless,while the assistent complimented with Yatsura. "Good job,young lady! You have got 200 tickets!" The girl smiled and grabbed them.

"W-well…that was unexcpected! How can you be so good?" Drake asked. But Kasai was the one to answer. "It may be strange or bizarre for you,but we are detectives."

"Detectives?" Drake asked in a calm way,but inside he was freaking out. "Dammit! It's them!"

"Yes. We come from the Chesire Cat Agency of San Francisco,the city where this cruise is headed to." Veedramon answered.

"Oh,what a surprise!" Drake exclaimed,but this time it was obvious his state of anxiety.

"You might have heard of us from the advise that the captian made before." ExVeemon said.

"Who knows,maybe you might help us. We are searching for a ganster,a mafia boss. If you see someone suspicious,can you tell us?" Kasai asked. But then she added something that made their research end. "But actually it would be useless to ask you such a thing,since you are the person we are looking for. Am i right…Drake Ivan?"

In a moment,Drake turned white. The detectives made his mask of a good person fade away. "The fact that you are not saying things like 'what are you saying?' or 'i think that you are wrong' makes your identity even more evident." Yatsura said. "We knew from the beginning that you weren't a normal one,by one reason: No one is so happy and available." Veedramon added.

Drake was starting to get some steps backwards for the fear. But when he turned around a little he grinned as he saw the chance to escape. And after that he ran away.

"Hey! Come back here!" Yatsura exclaimed. They tried to chase him,but they lost him immediately. "Where did he go?" ExVeemon asked.

"Good grief. He used the perfect moment to escape. He saw all of these people walking around and ran through them,making sure that we couldn't see him." Kasai answered.

Veedramon beat his fists. "I was ready to give him a punch in the face. I can say that this time,he turned out to be very clever." Kasai silenced for some seconds and then she explained her next plan. "At this rate we don't have any choice. He could have escaped anywhere in this cruise. Let's split up. Me and Veedramon will go in the lower floors,while you Yatsura and ExVeemon will go in the upper floors." Yatsura disagreed with that plan,and got afraid as always. "What!? No way! You too know that splitting up when it comes to a dangerous man is always a bad idea! Have you ever seen an horror movie!? What if this was his plan from the beginning and he had forseen your plan? What if he's going to attack us when we last expe-"

"URUSEI YATSURA! There is no time to discuss it! He could take advantage of this moment and do what you just said!" Kasai stopped her.

"Uaaah! Sorry!" Yatsura cried out.

Kasai sighed,accepting the fact that her friend was like this. But this didn't stop her to gave her an advise to always follow. "Listen…even if you joined the agency before me,i can clearly see that you still don't understand some things on work. But i can also see that you are doing your best to improve yourself. So let me give you an advice really important when it comes to jobs like these. At crucial moments,when you have the enemy in front of you…don't hesitate. Use all of your energies to stop him."

Yatsura still didn't understand what Kasai meant,but she listened carefully. "Ok. I'll remember it." She said. Kasai looked at her for one last time and ran away. "Ok,ExVeemon,let's go!" Yatsura exclaimed,while starting to run. "Yes,Master!" The blue dragon Digimon answered.

Meanwhile Kasai and Veedramon already reached the lower floors of the cruise. With the consent of the captain,it was much easier to reach even the parts where the pipes were. "Are you sure that he's here? I don't see many places where he can hide down here." Veedramon asked.

"A criminal must be ready for every situation. And since he is a boss of the mafia,he should know it better than anyone." Kasai answered. Her observation was fair,Although from what we seen,Drake wasn't such a smart person.

"Good point. But…where are we going exactly?" Veedramon asked. "We'll go down until we reach the bottom of the ship. If we can't find him,we shall go back and reach Yatsura and ExVeemon.

"I see…" Veedramon simply said. But then he felt like something wasn't right. In the place where they were,the corridor that led to the engine,everything was too peaceful. Usually,in a place like that there should be many sailors or engine operators. But nothing,only silence and the noise of some water drops. This was the fact that made Veedramon even more suspicious. Where did that water came from? When he turned around he saw a puddle under some of the pipes. "If a puddle like that is there,this means that those pipes had something wrong for quite a long…" Veedramon thought. But in that moment he saw the water of the puddle moving,like something was inside of it. "What is that?" He asked worried. And something,or someone was actually inside of it,and jumped out: An ocean dragon Digimon jumped from the puddle and tried to attack Kasai,who was still going on. But before his teeth could reach the girl,Veedramon stood in front of him. "Magnum Punch! ORA!" He punched the Digimon who clashed against a wall.

Kasai turned around to see what was going on and saw it. "Is that a Digimon?" She asked. "Yes! He was trying to attack you!" Veedramon exclaimed. Kasai took her digivice to scan him and saw the results. "Tylomon. An Armor-Level Digimon. His speed in underwater can even compete with MetalSeadramon. If someone enters his territory,he attacks them with ferocity. His attack is Torpedo attack. But this is strange,there is no water here,how did he get in the ship?" She asked.

"He used that puddle over there to jump in. But this makes him even more strange. There isn't enough depth in a puddle like that!" Veedramon tried to give an explanation,but he ended up to be confused too.

Tylomon got up and tried to attack again,this time by firing torpedoes from his mouth. "You came into my territory! You are the enemy of my partner! In that case,you are my food! Torpedo Attack!"

"V-Breath Arrow!" Veedramon counterattack with his blue-white arrow in the shape of a V. The result was a pile of smoke that came out from the impact of the two attacks. When the smoke disappeared,Tylomon was already gone. Probably he went back to the puddle.

"Where is he?" Kasai asked. Then,the smoke from before turned on the fire system,so the corridor was covered in water drops,making Kasai and Veedramon wet. "Good grief."

Since the ignition of the fire system,some of the sailors who were at the engine room came and met Kasai. "What happened? Why are you here?"

"You don't have to worry! We are the detectives the captian mentioned before! We are after a dangerous Digimon,who is here somewhere!" Veedramon answered.

"Really?" One of the sailors asked. But Kasai looked at the water drops,and sharpening the view,she understood one of the enemy's abilities. "RUN AWAY! BOTH OF YOU!" She yelled.

"What? Why are you-" The sailors didn't understand Kasai's sudden panic. Buti t was too late. Tylomon came out from one of the water drops,and attacked one of the sailors at the neck,killing him. The dead sailor fell to the ground,leaving a lot of blood. The other sailor screamed in terror and went behind Veedramon. "W-WHAT HAPPENED!?"

"Now i understood! Tylomon is able to move from every liquid at every size! That explains how did he jump from that puddle. This also means that the clash between his attacks and Veedramon's was wanted!" Kasai answered.

"But wait,if he can move from every liquid,this also means…KASAI! STAY BACK!" Veedramon tried to warn her,but Tylomon already jumped from the blood of the sailors,aiming at Kasai's throat. But the girl put her arm in front of her,so Tylomon ended up biting the arm. But the wound was pretty bad. The pain was high and Kasai was bleeding very much. Since she was a resistant girl,Kasai only gritted. Veedramon immediately punched Tylomon,making him fly back to the blood. But noises could be heard from the pipes,like something was moving inside of them.

"Ahahaha! Thanks for making things easy for me!" Tylomon's voice said.

"He's moving inside the pipes,breaking them a little bit! That's how he created that puddle!" Veedramon noitced. Kasai held her arm to avoid bleeding more. "Not only that. By making a mess inside the pipes,he's planning to make the water coming out from them in order to create even more puddles. So he can attack us everywhere on this corridor." She then turned on the other sailor. "Listen,where is the infirmary?" She asked.

The sailor was still trembling from what happened just a few minutes before. "At the end of this corridor near the engine hall…"

"Thank you. Now go away and try to get safe." Kasai advised the sailor. This one nodded and ran to the stairs. "Veedramon,we have to run as fast as we can,especially you. Since Tylomon is said to be very fast underwater,he must be travelling inside the pipes at really high levels of speed,maybe he will reach us before we get to the infirmary. You too have a gift of speed,despite your size. Do not let me down." Kasai advised her partner,placing confidence in his potential. They were partners for a long time,so she knew she could rely to a powerful Digimon like him.

Veedramon smiled. "Don't worry,i'm your partner. It's my duty to protect you. Also,i really like the idea of a challenge! Ok,Tylomon,you want to get us? Then,DO IT!" And so he started to run. Kasai did the same. While she was running,Kasai looked at her Digimon. "Recently,with all of these fights,Veedramon became really active and he is showing the best of his powers. Could it be that he's going to evolve soon?" This was her thought.

Veedramon was running with the only purpose to protect Kasai,but all of the will he showed until now was disappearing,since he was already tired. "Man…not even a minute has passed and i already want to stop…come on Veedramon! You can't be coherent with yourself! I need something else to give me the charge. Immagine…if you have wings! Right! You have wings and you are about to take off…so you spread your wings…start to accellerate…and then…GO!" His determination came back after he thought of a similitude. They were about to get closer to the infirmary and Veedramon noticed another puddle near the door that moved. "You do not fool me! V-Breath Arrow!" He fired another arrov of a V shape that hit the puddle. The yell of pain of Tylomon could confirm that Kasai's plan worked. "Yes!" Veedramon exclaimed.

"Good job." Kasai said with a smile.

When they entered to the infirmary,Kasai was medicated with some bandages on the arm. "There you are. Please keep the bandages for a few days in order to stop the bleeding." The doctor said.

"Ok,i guess." Kasai answered. "By the way,young lady,how did you get a wound like that? It's terrible!" The doctor asked.

"If i tell you that i have got attacked by a Digimon that can travel through liquids,would you believe me?" Kasai answered. The doctor was speechless. "I should have expected it. Let's go Veedramon." Kasai left the payment on the table and left.

The first thing Kasai noticed when she came back to the corridor were the blood drops she left while the race. "Right…even if i covered the wound with the other hand,some drops must have fallen by force." She then looked at the puddles. "But also he can attack from there. Maybe it's the better idea for him. With that said…he has a lot of places where to appear. But why didn't he used all of those puddles while we were running? Never mind. Maybe he'll do it now. Let's see…if there is a way to prevent this." She then looked back at the walls and noticed some electric cables. "Well well…Veedramon,cut those cables."

"Shouldn't we ask if we can do this?" Veedramon fairly asked. But Kasai simply said no with the head. "Who cares." She added. Veedramon sighed and did so,since he knew that it was useless to talk back. Then Kasai had another idea. "Also,i think that until now he was able to attack us by hearing our footsteps. So if he can't hear us,he will have difficulty to attack us" An argument that led to a ploy. Kasai looked at her boots,and took them off. "If i'm barefoot,i won't make enough noise to let him hear me." She said. "But he can still hear me! Wait…i've got an idea! Cutter Shoot." Veedramon too came with a ploy. He sliced the air,making a blade that cut the cables. Since it was air,it didn't make any noise. While they were having this discussion they were talking in a low voice,always following the reasoining of the sounds.

Meanwhile Tylomon was still inside the pipes. "Dammit! That stupid dog-dragon was faster than i expected! But soon i'll have my chance. But strange…i don't hear them…i don't think that they stayed at the infirmery for too long. Yes…soon or late i'll hear them…"

Meanwhile Kasai was already at the stairs for the upper floor,since after that plan she was going to reach Yatsura. She knew that this plan was her winning card,so she was ready to leave. By staying barefoot,she made all of the road from the infirmery room to the stairs without being heard. To ensure that not even Veedramon was heard she put him inside the Digivice. When she reached the stairs he put him out again. "Kyoko would call this 'thinking outside the box'. Ok Veedramon walk."

Veedramon nodded and made a step. This immediately made Tylomon go in one of the puddles,but he didn't knew that those two setted up a trap for him. Thanks to the broken cable,the electricity went into the puddle,and Tylomon ended up being electrified. He made a yell of pain and came out from the puddle,with some shocks. "W-what!? What did you do!?"

"It worked. We all know that the water is an electrical conductor. So we put this little trick on action. He's all yours Veedramon.

"Right! Magnum Punch!" Veedramon started to attack Tylomon with a burst of punches,while he and her partner did their fight scream.

"ORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORA!" Tylomon clashed against a wall for the second time and escaped from a puddle despite the shock. "Dammit! They are too smart! I'll deal with them later…and maybe i'll get lucky with the other couple! They are after Drake!" He said.

Kasai and Veedramon went back to the upper floor and sat down. "He escaped! What are we going to do?" Veedramon asked.

"I'll contact Yatsura now. It's important to reveal the ability of that Digimon. Maybe she'll do the rest,or at least i hope so. In the mean time we'll reach them."

While Kasai was taking the phone a woman passed by. "Hey! Beautiful toenails!"

"Thanks." Kasai simply said.

Meanwhile Yatsura was running around on the upper floors,searching for Drake,until she got a phone call from Kasai,who told to her everything she saw.

"Really? A Digimon who can travel between liquids?" Yatsura asked surprised.

"Yes,so he can travel even in things like blood or even liquid food. We managed to attack him,but he escaped. Probably he came back to his partner,so surely you'll find him in your way." Kasai answered on the other side. "Remember,if you see even the smallest liquid move,he's coming. Be cautious and think of a plan to prevent his moves."

"Ok. I'll do my best!" Yatsura said with a determined tone. She looked different from some moments before. For once,she had no worries in her head.

"We're going to go up this ship to reach you. On the meantime,you two keep going. He must be somewhere near you." Kasai said. "Over and out." She then closed the call.

"So what happened?" ExVeemon asked. He got curious after seeing the reactions that Yatsura made during the call.

"It seems that Kasai and Veedramon encountered Tylomon,who is probably Drake's Digimon partner. She said that he can even travel through liquids of every size." Yatsura answered.

"So what are your orders about that,master?" ExVeemon then asked.

"Do not call me like that! Anyways let me think…this actually could be a problem…down there,where Kasai and Veedramon went there were a few people,since it was a room where only the workers were. But up here is different…the major problem is that we are even close to the rooms where most of the people go! So if Tylomon attack us,we have to act quickly or the other passengers will be badly injured or even killed!" Yatsura explained.

"So,are you saying that we have to think outside the box?" ExVeemon,too,remembered that element.

"Isn't that the thing that Kyoko told us when we joined the agency?" Yatsura noticed. This time was her turn to understand what that phrase meant. Then when Yatsura looked up she saw who he was searching for.

Drake was a few metres away from her,talking with someone. "You didn't kill them!?"

"It was impossible! Even if when it came to the place,i was in advantage,they outclassed me! You can't underestimate them! They're smarter than you think!" The voice belonged to Tylomon,who came out to really be his partner. Of course,Drake was not happy about this. "BULLSHIT! UNACCEPTABLE! INCONCEIVABLE! I am the boss of the mafia of the city of Los Angeles for almost 40 years! I managed to win over cops,governements and agents! After all these fights,I CANNOT BE STOPPED BY TWO DETECTIVES!" But he didn't knew that not also he got the attention of Yatsura,but also of the passengers around him. They looked at him in silence for some moments and then…he ran away. "DAMMIT! MY COVER IS BLOWN!"

"Hey! Come back here!" Yatsura started to run after him,while she got the encouragements of the other passengers. "Go get him!"

And so the chase started. "ExVeemon! Since you can fly you have more possibilities to reach him! Do it!" Yatsura said.

"Yes master!" ExVeemon did what her friend advised. The thought was right,in a short time ExVeemon was behind Drake,but the gangster too had his idea of escape.

"Tylomon!" He called his Digimon,who came out from a water bottle of one of the passengers. His exit broke the bottle,made the owner fall and get scared, and let him attack ExVeemon. Tylomon reached his arm and bit it. ExVeemon gritted for the pain but stood still and decided to attack in the same way. "Strong Crunch!" ExVeemon bit Tylomon near the neck,forcing the water dragon to let go. But Tylomon felt into the blood of his enemy,so all he had to do was to jump from it and attack him from behind,since ExVeemon was focused on chasing Drake,after Tylomon let go.

The blue dragon yelled of pain but then he grabbed Tylomon with his arms,detaching him from his back. But Tylomon knew how to counterattack. "Tilt Anchor!" He started to whip ExVeemon with his tail. This time was ExVeemon the one forced to let go. While he was free and in mid-air Tylomon used another attack. "Torpedo Attack!" He charged against the enemy like an homing torpedo,making him clash against the wall. "How's that?" Tylomon asked confident. But then he noticed the X on ExVeemon's shape light. "I think that now is my turn! X-Laser!" He shot a Laser in the shape of an X against Tylomon. Since he was literally in front of the laser,Tylomon got a full damage and clashed against the ceiling. He retired by caming back into Drake's Digivice. "Impossible!" Drake exclaimed,he then saw the door to the restaurant opened it.

"You won't run away from me!" Yatsura exlclaimed,following him. ExVeemon did the same thing. The restaurant was very big,with tons of tables and even couches,with a door that led to the kitchen.

"Oh gosh! This place is huge! Where did he go?" Yatsura asked. But ExVeemon saw it. "There! He's heading to the kitchen!" Yatsura nodded and they started to run. Of course Yatsura did her best to not mess up with the tables or the waiters.

But in that moment,a 17 years old boy saw that his soup was moving. Of course,from it,Tylomon appeared. "OH SHIT! THERE'S A SHARK IN MY SOUP!" He exclaimed.

ExVeemon heard that and when he turned around he saw Tylomon jumping towards him with an open mouth. "Hydro Wave!" He started to spin and used the power of water that came out from his mouth to attack ExVeemon. The blue dragon got hit and his wings got wet.

"There! Now you can't fly! Which means that you are more easy to kill! DIE!" Tylomon exclaimed,trying to bite him in the neck. But even though ExVeemon couldn't fly,he still had his speed. So he quickly gave him a punch in the cin making him fly away and clash into a table. "You are still losing. Are you sure of what you are saying?"

Tylomon recovered and dived into a glass of water,disappearing. ExVeemon turned around to see where he could appear. In the end Tylomon jumped from a red wine,which was on the hand of a waiter at the right of ExVeemon. When he appeared he broke the bottle,made the waiter fall and attacked ExVeemon. "Terror Spiral!" He created a water tornado that made ExVeemon clash against a wall. In order to knock him out,Tylomon continued to generate the tornado.

ExVeemon felt all the water that was crushing him,but he wasn't going to give up. "If you can't beat him…join him!" With closed eyes,he started slowly to walk inside the tornado,accelerating more and more,ending up in front of Tylomon. The water Digimon was shocked to see with what his enemy came up with. ExVeemon took the chance and stabbed Tylomon with the horn on his nose. Tylomon felt the pain so much,but still he grinned as ExVeemon accidentally opened a way for him. Tylomon dived into a drop of his own blood and came out from another,biting ExVeemon from the shoulder.

Yatsura,who was still chasing Drake,was also watching the scene. "That's terrible! Tylomon ends up always having a way to attack him! What am i going to do!? At this point ExVeemon is going to be killed!" She was starting to worry but she then looked at the passengers on the tables. "Unless…HEY! YOU GUYS! EAT AND DRINK ALL YOUR STUFF!"

The passengers didn't think twice,since they knew that she was the detective and did so. Some of them even ended up being sick.

"WHAT!?" Tylomon shouted. In the end Yatsura felt over the blood and the wine on the ground,covering it. In this way,Tylomon had no more liquids where to travel.

"Attack him,ExVeemon!" Yatsura exclaimed. "Thank you master!" ExVeemon took out Tylomon out his shoulder and punched him very hard,making the ocean dragon clash against Drake,who reached the door to the kitchen.

"Augh! DAMMIT! NOT AGAIN!" Drake exclaimed. He then made Tylomon get into his Digivice and entered the kitchen. Yatsura followed him.

The kitchen was small and when the three came in the cooks where confused.

"Fuck! A dead end!" Drake said. Yatsura was behind him. "There you are!" But Drake had the idea to go around the table. Yatsura chased him,but stumbled accidentally and her face felt into a boiling pot. She felt so much pain that the scream she made broke a glass. She quickly put her head out of the pot and went out of the kitchen and the resaturant in general.

While running,some of the passengers tried to stop Drake,but he actually managed to get rid of them.

Then Drake entered a little theater where an opera was going on. Yatsura and ExVeemon followed him and got worried. "Oh fuck! I have to pay attention to not disturbing the audience!" She then looked up and saw Drake exiting from the door behind the seats. They tried to follow him but Tylomon came out from a water bottle and attacked ExVeemon,biting him yet again. ExVeemon got hurt,but to not disturb the opera he only made the expression of a scream. He then crunched Tylomon. The Armor-Level Digimon made a scream that accompained an high si of the opera. Because of the crunch,Tylomon left ExVeemon and escaped by jumping fast.

This time Drake went to a room that Yatsura wished he didn't see: The kid one.

"OH NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO!" Yatsura screamed in panic.

"What is it,master?" ExVeemon asked.

But then the hell happened. All of the kids in the room turned on Yatsura,and made a cute smile,but diabolical for Yatsura,and in a moment…it happened.

"PLAY WITH US!" The kid jumped on Yatsura,grabbing every part of her body. Yatsura was in complete panic. "HELP MEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!"

"I can't hurt a child!" ExVeemon exclaimed. He then turned on and saw Tylomon jump from a drop of the children's sweat. ExVeemon Immediately punched him,making him fly against the door. "First! You are disgusting! I mean,seriously!? Come from the sweat? And second,we're quite busy here! Leave us alone!" He then turned on Yatsura.

"Please ExVeemon! Come up with something!" Yatsura begged her Digimon partner. ExVeemon was confused. "I don't know…oh! Maybe try with a lullaby!"

"A lullaby,you say? Let me think…Oh…i know…" Yatsura remembered a charming melody from long ago. She then cleaned the throat and sang.

"Come stop crying it will be alright…just take my hand…hold it tight….i will protect you from all around you…i will be here,don't you cry…for one so small,you seem so strong…my arms will hold you,keep you safe and worm…this bond between us…can't be broken…i will be here,don't you cry…cause you'll be in my heart! Yes,you'll be in my heart! From this day on…now,forever and more…" The kid,listening to it,they started to yawn and then they sleeped with a big smile.

Yatsura was able to get up,with a tear on her face. "Are you ok,master?" ExVeemon asked.

"Yes….don't worry. This was the lullaby that my parents used to sing to get me sleep…." Yatsura answered with a big smile. In her heart she felt a charming heat. A memory from long ago made her remember how much Iori and his wife worked to grow Yatsura. The effort they made to grow her like the person she was. Yatsura felt like she had to return that effort. So she turned on the other door of the room. "Come on,ExVeemon. Let's go." ExVeemon nodded and they continued the chase.

After some minutes of run Yatsura and ExVeemon had a creepy sight. They saw many corpses on the ground,with blood descending everywhere.

"W-what is this!?" Yatsura exclaimed. ExVeemon looked better and saw signs of a bite in every dead body. "It's Tylomon."

"I get it now…he used Tylomon to get space and escape faster…This is…horrible…" Yatsura understood that she was fighting a complete psycopath,like other criminals she faced in her short career.

In that moment Tylomon came out from the blood and tried to attack ExVeemon with a Torpedo Attack. But this time ExVeemon saw it coming and attacked him with an X Laser. "I've had enough of you!" Yatsura covered the blood with her body,so Tylomon escaped by jumping again.

They reached the outside of the ship on a superior floor,where there was even a swimming pool.

Drake turned around and saw the young detective and her Digimon. "To think that you followed me here…I've never seen such stubborn detectives like you! At first i only wanted to destroy the agencies of your city to take over it,but after Bernie's death and Guliver's defeat i cannot stand you anymore!"

"So are you the one who sent Cassidy Monroe to kill us?" Yatsura asked the question that she had from the beginning.

"Cassidy Monroe? I've never heard of that name! But it doesn't matter because now i have you!" Drake exclaimed as he shot a DJ,killing him.

"What!?" Yatsura exclaimed. Drake then took one of the stereo speakers and passed it to Tylomon. "Now,Yatsura Hida! Don't make another move! The same goes for all of you!" Drake warned the other passengers.

"H-how did you know my name?" Yatsura asked in shock.

"While searching for your agency i also saw the names of the members,including you. And actually your name reminded me of someone! Your father is Iori Hida,right? That lawyer actually interfered with my plans several times,putting some of my men in jail. Getting my revenge by killing his daughter will be such a satisfaction!" Drake answered. "Listen now,you see those people inside the pool? My Tylomon blocked them with some internal cables of the pool,if you,your partner,or anyone else here makes a move,Tylomon will throw that stereo speaker those ones will be sent straight to hell! You don't want it,don't you?" Drake explained.

Yatsura was trembling,she really didn't know what to do…she was completely paralyzed from her pessimism. "Master! Calm down!" ExVeemon tried to take the attention of the girl,but nothing.

"You are a very good girl…you are so kind to let you do this!" Drake started to hit Yatsura by giving her kick in the face. Then he took her by the hair. "You made me pass to much trouble. This is the punishment for those who dare to defy a gangster!" And he started to make Yatsura's face clash against the floor,letting her bleed.

Yatsura couldn't say anything or do anything. She was completely lost.

Until she looked up to the pool and saw that between the hostages there was even a little boy who was trembling and crying.

"M-Mom! Mom! I'm scared mom!"

The mother was outside the pool panicking. "MY BABY!"

This was the moment that made Yatsura awaken. All that she saw: The corpses,the other passengers,the hostages,she even thought about the babies that she made sleep. The whole ship was getting into a serious trouble because of this man. Yatsura couldn't take it anymore. And then…Kasai's words came back to her mind.

"At crucial moments,when you have the enemy in front of you…don't hesitate. Use all of your energies to stop him."

Yatsura grabbed Drake's hand,breaking it. "WHAT!?" He then yelled out of pain. "D-Drake!" Tylomon exclaimed scared.

Yatsura then stood up. "W-what have you done!?" Drake asked.

"Now i understood what the others said to me about this job. I knew i had to deal with people like you…but never in my life…I'VE SEEN SOMEONE AS DISGUSTING AS YOU! Not only you killed several innocents on this ship,but you are also giving traum to these people…now i feel it in my heart…the duty to stop you!" Yatsura used a tone that made both Drake and Tylomon chilled. "You really messed up…you could only get away with the prision…but now…I WON'T SHOW MERCY LIKE YOU DIDN'T SHOW IT TO THOSE ONES YOU KILLED! YOU SON OF A BITCH!" She then started to punch Drake really hard,making him even split blood. "W-What the fuck is wrong with this girl!?" Drake exclaimed,when he looked into her he saw them in two eyes…two little blue flames burning. This was a thing that a person could read on another's soul.

Those were the eyes of a killer. The eyes of a girl that would do anything for protecting the others,for make sure that everyone in the ship are safe. Yatsura then grabbed her gun and shot to the audio speaker,making it fall from Tylomon's grasp.

"NO!" Drake exclaimed. Then ExVeemon dived into the water and cut all the cables. The kid hugged her mother crying.

"T-thank you so much…" The mother said,sobbing.

Yatsura smiled to them. "Now…your turn." She looked at Drake.

Drake was trembling,but he thought that he still had a chance of winning. "I can see that you want to end me…but you are an idiot…making me bleed,you actually opened me a way! THIS IS THE END! TYLOMON! TEAR APART HER THROAT!"

Tylomon dived into the pool in order to travel to the blood and came out of kill Yatsura. But then…

"V-Breath Arrow!" An Arrow in the shape of a V Hit Tylamon making him fall.

"WHAT!? NO! THIS CAN'T BE!" Drake exclaimed.

Yatsura turned around. She was really happy to see who it was.

Finally Kasai and Veedramon reached them.

"You know,i've heard what you said before. And liked it." Kasai said.

"Thank you Kasai…now i know what to do in this mission." Yatsura said,almost moved.

Kasai nodded and then looked at Drake. Drake was now filled with pure fear. "N-NO! P-PLEASE! I GIVE UP!"

"Oh,please…you really think that you would be spared? I cannot stand the trash like you!" Veedramon exclaimed,as he punched Drake,making him near Tylomon.

"I told you Drake! They are smarter than you think!" Tylomon said trembling.

"T-this cannot be…everything i've built…is now over…" Drake said. This was his end.

"Say,Kasai,how about we use that new 'Dual Heat Attack?" Yatsura asked.

"I like the idea." Kasai simply answered.

And so Veedramon and ExVeemon grabbed both Tylomon and Drake."

"Please help me!" ExVeemon exclaimed.

"RIght now!" Veedramon answered. "I'll go first!" He gave at the two a burst of fists.

Then it was ExVeemon's turn.

"P-please! I'll go to jail! I'll give you all of my money!" Drake begged for one last time. But his crimes were not going to pass unpunished.

"You actually made your error by phoning Kumo yesterday and telling him what you were going to do. I really don't care what you are going to say now…cause for me…you are already dead." Yatsura concluded.

Then ExVeemon's arms started to sparkle,as he was ready to attack.

Drake and Tylomon gave one last sign of their panic. "OH NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!"

"Ok,Master! Let's kill da ho! BEEEEEEETCH! COMBINATION!" ExVeemon started to give to the two criminals another burst of punches. And both Yatsura and ExVeemon gave their fight shout.

"ATATATATATATAATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATAT OWATTAAAAAAAA!" ExVeemon gave one last punch that made them fly away.

While Tylomon disappeared into data,Drake's dead body felt into the sea.

The other Passengers were speechless,even if the enemy died. Yatsura could take a breath of rest. "Mission complete…" while Kasai took a cigarette and smoke it. "Good grief…"


The sun started to going down,and through the streets of San Francisco there was a peaceful quiet. After receiving the thanks of the captain,Kasai,Veedramon,Yatsura and ExVeemon went down the cruise and came back to their city with the speedboat from before. While Kasai walked in a normal way,Yatsura was staggering.

"I really can't stand…" Yatsura said.

"I believe you,especially after you've been attacked in that way. But there's still a bit of road to do." Kasai answered.

Yatsura thought of what she had just been through. She felt like this time she put much more effort than the other times. But she wanted an opinion of that. "Kasai…i have to say something…"

Kasai turned around. "What is it?"

"You see…i am actually the member that joined the agency before you. It was like one month ago. But then i didn't know what it meant to be a detective. And the truth is…that i joined because of my low self-esteem. Before i went into the agency,i was often alone and very shy,because i always had negative thoughts on everything. And i thought that maybe come with someone that i know for a long time could help me to feel better. Let's be honest…this was a selfish wish…but yet Kyoko saw something in me. Something that helped me in every case and something that helped me even now. But i don't understand…what is it?" Yatsura asked.

Kasai looked at her in silence and then answered. "You really are an idiot. And yes,that was a selfish wish. You joined because you thought that chance would help only you,and didn't think about all the rest,even though you had a nice purpose. But…i also saw that element that Kyoko saw in you. And it's a thing you should always keep in mind. You are a very reliable person. On that ship i told you to not hesitate when you had the chance and to think of a way to prevent Tylomon,even if this last thing you only did it half. But it doesn't matter because you still did all of those things. When someone asks you a thing,you did that. And thanks to that,you managed to complete this case. You…made a miracle."

Yatsura was speechless. No one has said to her such good things as these for a long time. On her face big tears were going down and started to cry as strong as possible. She then hugged her friend. "KASAI! THANK YOU!"

Kasai wasn't happy of that hug. "Get away from me or i'll kill you." Yatsura immediately let go and wiped her tears.

Veedramon and ExVeemon on the other side were watching the scene with a big smile. "Aaah,this is satisfaction. Am i right?" Veedramon asked. "Yes,it is. We really have beautiful partners. It seems that you finally made it to think positive. Right,master?"

Then the four of them finally came back to the agency.

"You finally made it! How long did it take!?" Tsuna asked.

"Please don't say anything. I'm exhausted. Let me lay on the sofa." Yatsura answered,as she layed down.

"I can tell that it wasn't easy." Aisu said with a laugh. Kyoko then came near Kasai. "So,how did it go?"

"In the end we had to kill Drake,since he has done too much horrible things. But i'm sorry to say that he wasn't involved with Cassidy." Kasai answered.

Kyoko sighed. She hoped for an answer,but nothing. "I see…" "This story is getting more mysterious…" Kumo added.

"Well,i like mysteries! So i'm fine with it!" Rikka answered.

"Anyways,good job as always! I'm happy that both of you made it!" Kyoko said with a big smile.

Kasai did a little smile back. "You know…since i joined this agency i'm starting to know better the others. I can clearly say that they have changed since the journey we had since we were kids. On this mission i saw Yatsura better,and noticed a gold light on her heart."

"I know,right? There has always been a reason to let them join this agency." Kyoko said. "Ok! Dinner time! Everybody get your meal ready!"

"Sure. Just let me finish here on the toilet." Kouta said from the bath.

"I think that Kouta already ate his dinner!" Toriko said,making a joke like always.

Kouta was blushing and tried his best to not tell the truth. "N-no! It's not true! I just have some constipation problems!"

"Don't think we haven't seen that double hamburger!" Sasuke said with a smile.

"Guys! Stop!" Kouta exclaimed,making the others except Kasai laugh.

One hour later,everyone got back to their job before going home. Kasai was outside the building to see the stars. In that moment,Yastsura too came out. "Hey,you too here?" She asked.

"Yes. I was just thinking." Kasai answered.

"Well,i was searching for you. Thank you again. You helped me to find the strenght to fight." Yatsura said with a smile.

"I only gave you an adivse. It was you who decided to follow it." Kasai answered.

"Anyways…what are you thinking about?" Yatsura asked.

"I was thinking of our enemy. Some week has passed since Aisu got attacked. And we still haven't got a clue. Even Drake knew nothing. The question remains the same: The one who hired Cassidy…who is he?" Kasai answered.

"Good question…i too want to know…but i'm sure of one thing…things are going to get really serious now." Yatsura said.

Kasai nodded and looked back at the stars. The clues were hard to find,but still they had to go on. Who knew if that fight would hurt other people. The mystery was still there. And what Yatsura said was right,since the enemy from the next day was ready to attack.
