  Shoi, "It's the girl from yesterday!"

  Yukina " Will you be quiet."

  Merlin " hey"

  Yukina, 'What are you doing here?" You kidnapped our friend."

  Merlin " I know, I don't mea..."

  Yukina " WHAT IF HE DIED OR GOT HURT, ALL FOR YOUR MISSION."

  Kurayami steps in

  Kurayami " It's fine Yukina."

  Yukina " You don't know that."

  Shoi " I guess she can scream."

  Kurayami " It's best if you leave."

  Merlin " I understand, will you meet me later."

  Kurayami " I mean I guess."

  She runs off before he can ask how they'll get in touch.

  Yukina " How can you just agree to meet with an enemy."

  Kurayami " No hostility."

  Shoi " Damn, you think we should come with."

  Kurayami " Forget about it, we got to go."

  Kurayami knows he needs to get back, and Yukina knows why Kurayami wants to get back.

  They start running off.

  Kurayami " Split up when we get there, got to take care of something."

  Shoi " Alright I'll look for the source of the sickness."

  Kurayami " Actually I need you Yukina."

  Yukina " I know."

  Kurayami " huh. That's the plan."

  Off and on running leads to it turning night and they are gonna make it there faster than expected.

  The moon rises beautiful blue rays shine on the floor of the forest.

  (Cuts to Yuuto)

  Yuuto " Finally out of that trap. I'm not far from town I'll stick there until I find her."

  He starts walking back

  Yuuto " Let me call boss."

  Ring ring

  (picks up)

  Yuuto " Hey boss."

  Boss " Yuuto, what do you want."

  Yuuto " Sorry to interrupt, but Merlin's gone rouge."

  Boss " Probably you who made her do it."

  Yuuto " Ok well you're not wrong, but keep your eyes on her."

  (Boss hangs up)

  (Cuts to Akui, and Hoshi)

  Hoshi " I'm not that (cough) sick, my brother had to work."

  Akui " He said if anything happens to call him."

  Hoshi is Shocked

  Akui " He'll be here in 3 hours."

  Hoshi " Let me rest."

  Akui leaves the room.

  (Cuts to Triplets, and 2 other ghost controllers.)

  Triplets "They're moving in, I've seen them in Souls Woods."

  Sly " What are we doing."

  Pounin " Waiting obviously"

  Triplets " Shut up you two."

  They stand straight

  Triplets " I didn't think they'd be back"

  He starts to get angry

  Triplets " Kuroi Kage said they are splitting up."

  Sly "Let's do the same."

  Triplets " I agree Sly, you get the boy with blonde hair."

  Sly " Ok"

  Pounin " I can take on the rest."

  Triplets " Kuroi Kage is probably fatigued, he's been walking for a while. Don't Lose"

  Pounin " Got it."

  (Cuts back to Kurayami)

  They continue just making it to the outskirts of town.

  Shoi "I'm heading off here got to stop at home."

  Kurayami " Be safe, call for anything."

  Shoi " For sure!"

  Kurayami " To my house."

  They enter the town to see its more empty than usual.

  Kurayami " What's this a ghost town, I mean literally."

  Yukina " Everyone's sick, even the stores are closed."

  A man walks by

  Yukina " Hey what are you doing out here."

  Man " Just walking just like you."

  Yukina " Smart one."

  The man eyes Kurayami up and down.

  They run to the house.

  Kurayami " Shit rents do, haven't been doing enough jobs."

  Yukina " Lets just get inside."

  Kurayami " Hoshi "

  Akui " Shh, she's sleeping."

  Kurayami " Geez dude, what are you doing down there."

  Akui " Studying the ground."

  Kurayami " Weird."

  Hoshi walks out her room.

  Kurayami " Your alright."

  Yukina " I'm glad."

  Hoshi " Is that another work friend."

  Kurayami " That's Yukina you get to meet her I guess."

  Hoshi " She's very pretty."

  Kurayami and Akui look away.

  Akui " I'll be going."

  Kurayami whispers " You finding who did this."

  Akui " Wasn't my plan. I need money like the rest of you."

  Kurayami " This is a crisis."

  Akui leaves, and doesn't think of helping just getting some money.

  Kurayami " Get rest Yukina can take care of you."

  Hoshi goes, and lays down.

  Yukina " I'll take it from here."

  Kurayami sits down and thinks of what's causing this.

  Yukina " Just rest, you look good."

  Hoshi " Thanks."

  Yukina " Health wise."

  Yukina notices a bump on one part of her body and another in a different part.

  Hoshi " What is it."

  Yukina " Nothing."

  ...

  The bumps on her skin look like giant pimples, ready to squirt something out.

  Yukina " Kurayami can I have a chat with you."

  Kurayami " It's important huh?"

  Yukina " Your sister has some bumps on her."

  Kurayami " What!"

  Yukina " Keep it down, look for other reports on the disease."

  Kurayami checks his phone, seeing things about it. Showing multiple places shut down, Pandemic, Stay inside.

  He finds the tab for Treatment and Symptoms.

  Searching through, multiple pictures show others with bumps, and strains on the throat.

  Kurayami " Here look."

  Yukina " Phew it's common, it can't be that bad."

  Kurayami " Stay, and treat her I'll be back."

  Yukina " You shouldn't go without me."

  Kurayami " I'll be fine see ya."

  Kurayami goes out having some sort of idea, when they took him in the basement he noticed some lab equipment.

  He starts to think if Yuuto, Merlin, and that ghost man did something.

  Yuuto walks into town, Kurayami notices.

  He runs and grabs him

  Kurayami " You did this."

  Yuuto " Calm down. Did what?"

  Kurayami " You made this sickness."

  Yuuto " I had nothing to do with this, if you wanna kill me go ahead. I was just tied up and manhandled on top of that my boss hates me."

  Kurayami " Who was that you were working with."

  Yuuto " Merlin? "

  Kurayami " Not her the ghost man"

  Yuuto " He was just a side quest, my boss thinks we went on a trip."

  Kurayami " What's his name?"

  Yuuto " I don't know, really, he, she, they, whatever that ghost is. Their strong."

  Kurayami lets him go.

  Yuuto " Watch your back Yami, I will come back stronger."

  Kurayami lets out a giggle.

  He thinks what to do as Yuuto runs off, "Maybe look for Merlin."

  Kurayami struggles to find any clues, but goes looking for Merlin.

  A group of 3 men are lurking in the shadow's

  man 1 " Look at him."

  man 2 " That's our target?"

  man 3 " Seems like it."

  man 2 " He's busted up, can't even afford clothes."

  man 1 " He does have a cash in reward if dead."

  man 3 " We could boost our group higher with this cash."

  man 1 " Lets go, he's alone now's our chance."

  They jump out in front of him.

  Kurayami " Huh"

  All them " Were the Puzzel You Can't Solve."

  man 3 " Stands for PYCS, like this tattoo say's."

  Kurayami " Who?"

  man 1 " The one's taking your bounty."

  Kurayami " Oh ok, guess you can test my new blade out."

  They aren't weaklings

  He runs on the side of the wall unsheathing his blade.

  Kurayami " Cool I actually have some time of mist now."

  They throw knives around him making him stop on the wall.

  man 2 " Got you now where are you gonna go."

  Kurayami jumps over there 3 swing attack so fast they don't see him

  Kurayami "Whats this blade doing, I can't control it."

  He screams out "SHADOW ILLUSION"

  Creating 2 other swords sticking out of the main one.

  Stabbing the left guy, as the other two thought they got stabbed.

  The other guys watch him fall off the blade

  They combined there swords together knowing Kurayami's gonna jump

  The jump is predicted, they throw 2 more knives one missing, and the other through his hand.

  the Adrenaline hits, coming down Kurayami stabs one of them right in the skull

  The sword gets stuck

  Kurayami " Come on you stupid sword."

  Without wielding this sword he feels weaker, like the sword has power.

  man 2 " Got you now."

  Kurayami dodges the slash sliding under

  While coming up he upper cuts him knocking him out.

  Kurayami " Ahh dammit, my hand hurts so damn bad."

  The sword gets unstuck, getting rid of the dark mist.

  He rips some of there shirt off and wraps his hand up

  Kurayami " this should stop it."

  He grabs the sword and walks to places he's seen Merlin.

  (Kurayami calls the boss)

  Kurayami " Boss I need some money, I got three road kill in front of that old clothes store."

  The boss " I'll send someone, but I'll be taking away money for this."

  Kurayami " This should get me enough anyways."

  (Boss hangs up)

  Kurayami " I should get some clothes from there one day."

  He goes to the bar

  Merlin " How'd you know I'd be here."

  Kurayami " First place we met I guess.."
