8 Tender Soul end

After healed Nhazul, Rebecca went straightforward to the meeting point where they three, Ghoza, Liem and her, had decided. There was still a doubt in her about how Nhazul could defeat Seiken in his current condition, but then she remembered the feeling that she got a few moments ago.

"I must trust him, I should believe him, Seiken's probably too strong, but Nhazul could somehow defeat Seiken with his soulids in him..", Rebecca thought in her mind.

" Ahh... Why I'm thinking it in negative... Back then, when I first time met him, he could manage to deal with a strong soulid too, why should I couldn't believe he could do it this time?!..", in her mind.

She was probably confusing about how to think it best, beside she was too worry about Nhazul's condition, she also should to be trusted in him that he would defeat Seiken. In addition, Nhazul also asked them to not to help him again because he thought it was too dangerous to face Seiken this time. He was afraid that he  couldn't manage to protect them in his current condition.

"Hmm... It's true that we will just end up to be burden for you if we try to help you but, to face the soulid that strong, you will be needed a hand to help you out! Like the last time on that day, when you dealt with the soulid that also had changed into full monster form... Hmmp, you even don't know who is he when I asked you..", Rebecca was remembering the memory on the day when she met Nhazul on the first time.

And then after some minutes she was running, she finally arrived to the meeting point. She couldn't find Ghoza or Liem in there. But then, suddenly Liem came out from the van, Ghoza's van.

"Rebecca! Are you alright?", Liem got closer to Rebecca to check on her condition.

"Oh! I'm fine! Your distraction is really effective to draw that soulid's attention out! I can treat his wound without a bother, thank you..", responded Rebecca.

" So, how's Nhazul' condition? Is he alright?", Liem continued to ask.

"... Hmm..", Rebecca couldn't answer that question, she set her sad face on her as she thought about Nhazul.

"Oh, no! Don't tell me..", Liem was tried to conclude the thing, judge from Rebecca's response.

"Oh! Not like that! He is fine, like I said, I have treat his wounds, but... I don't know if his condition could manage to stop that soulid..", explained Rebecca.

" I see..", responded Liem.

"Alright then! Let's back and help him out again!!", Ghoza came out from his van with such full preparations on him.

"What is that?! A kevlar with plates?! You will just end up walking to your death if you come there with all those things!", reacted Liem to Ghoza.

" What?! Isn't it perfect armor against his sword?", said Ghoza.

" Did you forget that he can cut a building with a single swing? Do your armors are that thick to hold his sword?!", replied Liem to Ghoza.

" Ahh... Right! I think it's too much! Let's stick to the old plan then..", responded Ghoza as he tried to take of his armor, but he stuck.

"Emm, Liem! Could ya help me please?!..", Ghoza asked Liem to help him to take off his armors.

"See! You even can't get out of it yourself!", Liem helped Ghoza to take off that armor.

"... We will not help Nhazul!..", suddenly the words came out from Rebecca.

That words rather surprised for Ghoza and Liem.

"Huh!?!", Ghoza reacted to Rebecca's words after he could free from the armor.

"What do you mean, Rebecca? You said his condition can't guarantee him for win! Then we should help him, right?!", Liem replied to Rebecca.

" No! We'll end up to be burden for him again!", said Rebecca.

" Huh?! That thought again?! Last time ya also think out that way!! But look what we just did? We did help him out, right?!", Ghoza tried to prove his opinion.

" No we don't!! We end up making him even worried about us!! That's what we've done!", Rebecca declined.

That words made Ghoza shut for a moment.

"Didn't you feel that Seiken really came after us! To kill us! That time Nhazul was trying to stop him from targeting us, that ended up made him thrown away through the building! Can't you just see that?! We don't really help him there! We're caused him even beaten up!", added Rebecca in sad expression, she started to burst in tears.

Last time, before Rebecca finally came to Nhazul, she saw what had happened. Seiken was coming after them, and then Nhazul tried to stop him but end up being beaten. That was why she asked Ghoza and Liem to lure Seiken away, so she could come to Nhazul and checked on his condition.

"So what do ya think we can do to help him?", Ghoza tried to ask Rebecca.

" I... Don't know..", replied Rebecca, she was trying to hold herself from crying.

Liem came closer to her to calm her down.

"Maybe... It would be the best if we just trust him to handle it himself... Nothing we can do to help him now, Seiken we targeting us if we came to interfere the battle, and that would make Nhazul in troubled again, right?..", said Liem to give her opinion.

" So, we just have to waiting here and do nothing?", Ghoza was asking.

" We just can trust him to defeat Seiken by himself for now..", Liem replied to Ghoza.

The situation in that empty building turned to be more silence at that moment. But suddenly, Ghoza broke the silent.

"Hei, Rebecca! Gimme my soul detector that I gave ya last time!", Ghoza asked Rebecca to return his soul detector.

Rebecca took out the soul detector from her bag, and then she threw it to Ghoza as their position were rather in long distance. At that time, suddenly, the powerful gusting of wind was blowing up that place from the opened windows. That was really big blowing, made they three had to duck to avoid the blow. But that was too late for Ghoza to ducking. To catch the soul detector that passed by Rebecca, he needed to jumped a little last time and then the gusting wind came all of sudden. That wind blew him up backward to the next room space of that building. And then, he stopped by hitting the wall there, but that made him lost his grip to his soul detector. That soul detector kept flying by that blow to the next area of building, through the area of parking lot in basement area.

"Ghoza! Are you alright?", Rebecca was calling to Ghoza as she tried to come closer to him by holding anything that kept steady in that room to avoid her from getting blown up too.

"Yeah!! But I lost my soul detector!", responded Ghoza.

" Just forget it! And hold on something!", Rebecca asked him to abandoned that detector.

"Whaatt-..", responded Ghoza but,

Ghoza seemed going to say something but suddenly the gusting wind started to calm down. The big pressure that it made was decently decreasing. Ghoza who was pressed at the wall, fell to the floor. After he fell, he immediately got up again and ran to the place which his detector gone.

"Hei! Ghoza!", Rebecca tried to stop him but he didn't care.

After that big gusting wind was calming down they could move to normal again without any pressure from the wind flow like before. But, the wind was still raging outside, the black cloud made the area darker, the lightning occurred everytime. And that time, Liem came to Rebecca to check on her condition.

"Hei, Rebecca, are you fine?", asked Liem.

" Yeah, how about you?", Rebecca replied.

" So I do... Where is Ghoza?", Liem asked about Ghoza.

" Dunno..", short answer of Rebecca.

"Huh?!", responded Liem.

" More importantly, what is it just now?!", Rebecca tried to look out at the outside from the window of that building.

"A storm?", Liem gave her opinion as she followed Rebecca to see though the window.

"In this place? In that sudden?", Rebecca was wondering.

" Maybe that was what caused this town messed and being abandoned like now..", another opinion from Liem.

" I see... But I thought it was because of Seiken's doing that he destroyed this town and made the people evacuated..", replied Rebecca.

" I thought like that too in first time... But, wait! At the time that wind blowing us, I felt a bursting of soul as well... Could it be it's them who making this storm? No! It's just one of them!", Liem tried to explain the things.

" So, could it be Nhazul?!", Rebecca was asking with the face of expecting something.

"Ehm... I can't sense human soul in it!... Emm!!!", after she said that to Rebecca, Liem seemed remembering something.

"So you mean... Nhazul was... How could it be..", Rebecca started to feeling down.

Immediately Rebecca moved away to the door of that building. Seemed like she would come to Nhazul's place. Seeing this, Liem who was thinking of something, noticed her and quickly grabbed Rebecca's hand to stopped her from going outside.

"Wait! Where do you think you are going?!", said Liem.

" I will go to Nhazul..!", replied her.

"The storm is still happen outside and look like it was them who causing it! You can't just go there!", said Liem to stop Rebecca.

" But... If anything happened to him..", Rebecca was sad.

" We still don't know the result of that battle, and like you said, if we come there while the battle still happens, wouldn't it be caused Nhazul more troubled? Let's hope that he could win that battle and come here safely, okay..?", Liem tried to calm Rebecca down, and she did it.

"Hmm... Okay..", responded Rebecca.

But in her mind, Liem was thinking about what Utahara ever said about soulid true form. Everytime soulid came out or powered up, they usually made some bursting aura or bursting soul in Liem study. And such tremendous pressure from that bursting soul earlier, made her opinion went to conclusion about the true form bursting soul from soulid. Even though she couldn't know who's the owner of that bursting soul. While she kept it in her mind, she tried to distract Rebecca's over worried of Nhazul, to find where was Ghoza.

"Hei, where is Ghoza?", Liem asked to Rebecca.

" Emm... I think he walk out that way to find his detector..", Rebecca was pointing to the area which Ghoza gone.

"Let's help him to find it then!", Liem asked Rebecca to help Ghoza.

And then they two came to Ghoza way. In other place, in the area which toward to the basement parking lot, Ghoza tried to look after his detector.

"How can it be flying that far?", Ghoza kept looking around to find his soul detector.

He couldn't find it anywhere on that way as he kept moving until he saw basement which some cars parked there. He looked around and then he thought it would be under the car, so he got down and searched in ground of every cars. Then he found it at the corner of that building under some of cars.

"Aww!! How can they park their cars so much close to each others?! I can't even try to open its door like this!!", Ghoza mumbling.

He upset to find the cars were parked so closed to the other cars, it almost no space to open its door. And his detector was a far at the corner of under those cars, it was hard for him to reach it that way. He tried to reach it by his hand, further and further until without he realized, he had under that car himself, but he still couldn't reach it. A few minutes later, Rebecca and Liem who looked for Ghoza came to that area.

"Ghoza!! Are you here?! Answer me!!", Liem shouted to call for Ghoza.

And then a small voice heard by them.

"Here... I'm here..", that voice came from Ghoza.

His voice couldn't really be heard well because of he was under the car, and yet the storm outside was still happening that made some noisy voice from the ventilators of that room, even that was in the basement. Rebecca and Liem kept on search, then Rebecca found him, by his legs that left out under the car.

"There he is!", said Rebecca to Liem.

Seeing him like that, Liem immediately came over him.

"Hei! Ghoza! Are you alright?", asked Liem.

" Yeah! Fine!", replied Ghoza.

"How can you end up being under this car? Did the wind blow you this far?", Liem was trying to pull Ghoza out of there by his leg.

"Hei! Hei!! Don't pull me out! I'm doin it myself! I try to get my detector here!!", responded Ghoza to make Liem stopped pulling him out.

"Oops, sorry!", Liem was apologizing.

"Hemm... It could be these cars here were being so closed to the others because of that big blow earlier..", said Rebecca as she tried to analyze the things.

" Hei! Do you need help?", Liem still tried to help Ghoza.

" Emm... Right! Maybe I need something long to reach my detector! Gimme some stick or something!", Ghoza asked Liem to give him stick or long thing.

"Long thing?! Emm... What can be used?", Liem was looking around to find something.

"Here!", Rebecca gave her the swords that Nhazul entrusted to be given to Liem.

"Huh? My sword?! And my brother's... How can it be with you?", Liem asked.

" Nhazul asked me to bring them here..", replied Rebecca.

The swords were actually always being carried by Rebecca in her back from the first time she arrived that place, but no one noticed since they were to focus on the situation and the plans.

"Ah... I should have hand them earlier, but then I forget about those... Hehe..", Rebecca gave her reason to Liem.

" Oh, it's okay, thank you for bring these back to me..", said Liem to Rebecca.

" Yeah..", responded Rebecca.

Suddenly Ghoza yelled out, he was almost forgotten by them for a moment.

"Hei! Have ya find anything?! I'm starting to felt tiring on my back crawling like this!!", yelled Ghoza.

" Oh! Wait! Here! Use it!", Liem passed her sword to Ghoza to under that car.

"Sword?! Is there anything else? It would break my detector!", Ghoza was complaining.

" That thing should have broken because of that blow just now anyway! Now, just hurry up and get yourself out of there!", Rebecca got irritated by that complaint.

And then Ghoza was silent. He tried to use that sword to reach his detector, and he got it. After that he was asking for help to pull him out of that. Then Liem helped him out. After he could get out of that, he tried to turn on that soul detector.

"How was it?", Liem was asking about the detector.

" Dunno! I'm trying to turn it on anyway! Oh! Here! Sorry to use your sword for such a thing..", replied Ghoza as he returned the sword to Liem.

"Oh it's okay..", Liem took the sword.

"Hei, Liem! I just remember the thing that I want to ask you, your sword and your brother's, they are the same, right? How can you tell which one is yours?", Rebecca was curious about the thing.

" Huh?! Umm, yeah right, they are twin swords actually... Emm... To tell the truth, I don't have idea which one is mine, I used to just use it anyway, but my brother can! Everytime I took his, he will start yelled at me and ask me to switch it immediately... I had no idea... Hehe..", explained Liem.

" Oh I see, so you can't recognize which one of them is yours now?", Rebecca continued asking.

" Yeah, hehe..", responded Liem as she saw the swords.

"They're exactly the same though, nothing difference between them..", said Rebecca.

" Why don't ya make it different then? Nothing would change their function or value if ya make a little different in them, right?!", Ghoza added his opinion.

" I got what you meant, I ever thought of that too, and I even tried it, but then my brother got furious and turned it back to its original again..", explained Liem.

" He did?!", Ghoza pardoned.

"Did he tell you a reason?", Rebecca continued to ask.

" Ah, he said, if I did that, I might not be one of the best master of Great Lion holy temple in future then..", answered Liem.

" Hmm?! Are those things related? How can those things be related? Did you ask?", Rebecca still continued asking.

" I don't know and I try to ask, but he returned that question to me to be answered... And then, he never had time to explain those thing again to me up till now, especially right now!", Liem said that as she started to feel sad about her brother.

"Ah, sorry, I don't mean to make you sad cause of that..", Rebecca tried to cheer her up.

" Don't worry! Ya will find the answer of that question! And of course, we will manage to save your brother too!", said Ghoza pessimistically.

Liem seemed smile to that words. Her sadness was decreasing by the time afterward.

"What a bolt words from a loser!", Rebecca teased Ghoza.

" Hahaha... See! He's right! We'll manage to save your brother! And Nhazul also promises you that, doesn't he?!", added Rebecca as she was laughing.

" Yeah, he does! Hihi..", Liem responded.

" Oh! Right! How's that dump thing's doing?! Got any useful things from it?", Rebecca asked Ghoza about his soul detector.

"Dump thing?! How dare ya!!", responded Ghoza as he was checking the detector.

The soul detector showed an indication of a soul in the monitor. But when he saw it, it changed its color statically from red to orange, then to yellow, to green then blue and then white, after that disappeared.

"Huh?!", Ghoza reacted to that.

"What is it, Ghoza? Does it give us any clue about Nhazul and Liem's brother?", Rebecca asked.

" Uh um, it showed a disappeared soul just now!", answered Ghoza.

" Do you mean it had defeated?", Liem was asking.

" Does Nhazul win?", Rebecca was also asking.

" I dunno, it just showed one soul, and second by second it's fading, then gone..", Ghoza gave the details.

" Where is that location?", Rebecca was asking.

" It should be up ahead, just follow the road straightforward from this building, I guess..", Ghoza answered.

And then they notice that the storm outside was stopping and calming from the sound of noise that gone from ventilators at that room. As she felt this, Rebecca thought about Nhazul and immediately rushed to the main room of that building to the door and went outside. Liem tried to stop her but she didn't stopping.

"Rebecca! Wait!!", Liem was chasing her.

Ghoza who was sitting on the floor, quickly standing up and following them. Ghoza could catch up with Liem, but Rebecca was still ahead further from Liem.

"Ghoza, this is bad! We don't kno who's soul is that. And yet, actually, when the storm came, I could feel a blasting of soul from strong soulid too..", Liem tried to speak with Ghoza.

" Ya mean that storm, soulid was the caused of it?", Ghoza was trying to understand what Liem said.

" Yeah, and I remembered what Utahara said about the soulid that turned itself into its true form, I'm afraid that the storm is coming from that soulid which turning into their true form! And now Rebecca is going toward that!", explained Liem to Ghoza.

" So, your conclusion are, Nhazul has defeated and your brother had turned completely into a monster with its true power! Then Rebecca is going there to find that her boyfriend was beaten and that monster finally kill them both?!", Ghoza was translating Liem's opinion.

"Oh God! Those are terrifying imagination for to be heard, Ghoza!!", Liem was responding Ghoza words.

" But, that's what ya are thinking, right?!", Ghoza offended.

Liem couldn't reply. She was just being quiet and keeping on running to chase Rebecca.

"Just trust in Nhazul! Believe him that he could defeat that soulid! And also bring back your brother! I'm just meeting with him recently weeks, but somehow I know he is special, and he is strong too, ya see!", said Ghoza.

Those words made Liem calmed. She was even smiling. They kept on running to the location which Ghoza's soul detector detected the soul was disappearing. And somehow Rebecca was running really faster than those two, she left them so far behind.

After afew meters running, Rebecca arrived to the area that was really messed, that was not meant the other place not that messed since that city had already crumbled. But that area which Rebecca arrived, it was burning. Some trees, cars, buildings and the things on that area were on flame. Rebecca stopped. She couldn't find Nhazul or Liem's brother there. All she saw were the things that were burning. The tears suddenly came out from her. Dropping one by one. She was really sad to see the things around. Even she didn't want to imagine what had happened to Nhazul. She walked slowly between those burning things. She kept on searching of Nhazul.

Afew minutes later, Ghoza and Liem reached that area. They were stopping and seeing around. They didn't think it would be that worse. The fire was spreading all around.

"Rebecca was getting in that area!", Liem was saying that.

" It will be dangerous if we just get in without any protection gear!", Ghoza responded Liem words.

" But Rebecca had got inside it!!", Liem spoke in loud voice to Ghoza, she was mad.

"But isn't it will be useless if we ended up to be burned too? No one will help us then!", Ghoza responded to her, made her silent.

"Alright! Hold up! I'll get my van here and extinguishing the fire! I have the things on my van! Wait up 'kay! I'll get it soon! I'll be back real soon!!", said Ghoza.

As he said that, he ran quickly to the place where he parked his van, it was nearby to the last building they used to hide back there. He ran again to come back to that building even he just arrived to the place he wanted to go. He had asked Liem to wait for him and don't just go to the burning place, but that wasn't stop her. After she saw Ghoza had gotten far, she couldn't just stand and wait there. With the two swords on her hands, she got in the burned area, looking for Rebecca, Nhazul and of course, her brother.

In Rebecca's place, she had gotten into the deep of the area, that place somehow was better than the entrance or first area of the burning. Some fire had extinguished and the air felt rather better than the area before. She kept looking around for Nhazul, kept wishing to find him in good condition, even the area around was far from being good. After some moments searching, she saw a toy store building that wasn't burned at all among all burnings. She thought that was weird, how could that building didn't burn when all area around it burned. And at the same time with that view to that building, she saw what she had looked for over there. She found Nhazul. He laid down there in front of that toy store, on the street walk floor beside the road. She quickly ran toward him.

"Nhaz!! Nhaz!! Answer me! Come on, wake up!... Hahh?!?..", she was calling to wake Nhazul up but he didn't respond.

And she suddenly stopped calling as she saw so much dried blood around his clothes, she thought those came from his wound on his chest. So much dried blood also found on the street walk floor under his body. She was trying to embrace him on her arms and found that his back was also wounded. It caused of Seiken had stabbed him with his sword, pierced from Nhazul's chest to the back. And she was starting to cry over Nhazul's body. She couldn't believe that Nhazul had died. She couldn't help herself from crying out a loud. She was so sad.

A minute later, Liem arrived at that point and noticed Rebecca there. Seeing her embracing Nhazul's body and crying in sobber. Liem got closer and checked on Nhazul's soul in his body. And then checked on his vein. And then Liem confused.

"W-why are you crying so much like-, like you had lost him?", Liem was asking a question to Rebecca.

Rebecca who was crying in deep of sadness, confused with that question.

"Why don't you start to treat his wounds?", Liem continued with another question as she used her power to managing the soul in Nhazul.

"...Is he-, he's still alive...?", Rebecca asked in her flustered.

" Haven't you check on his vein yet?", responded Liem.

"... Um, he's alive?! He's still alive?! Right, he is!! Ah!", Rebecca quickly checked on Nhazul vein, she felt some blood was flowing, then she immediately took out some medical kit from her bag and started treating him.

Meanwhile on her healing skill, Liem felt a rising soul on Nhazul. She felt like wondering, how could his soul was suddenly rising up like that, especially in that kind of condition. And after some moments, Rebecca finished to treated his wounds, and then suddenly Nhazul slowly opened his eyes, he regained his conscious. Rebecca immediately called for him.

"Nhaz!?", that was so.

"Re-bec-ca..", that was Nhazul's first words, he tried to speak in his bad condition.

" Yes, it's me! I'm here! Are you alright? You're fine, right?", Rebecca responded.

" Yea... Sorry... To make you... All worries..", Nhazul replied.

" Silly! How can I'm not be worry! Umm..", said Rebecca as she hugged him and continued to cry out again.

In Rebecca's hugging arms, Nhazul looked at Liem who was still doing the healing for him with her soul power.

"I am alright.." said Nhazul as he was smiling to Liem.

Liem who heard it just kept quiet, as she actually was being puzzled herself in her mind, to think that how could Nhazul's soul was still rising up fastly. That made his condition better and better so quickly despited to see on his current states. He was bad wounded over his body.

" Liem... You better... Look for... Your brother... He should be... Nearby... Bring him here... I need to do something... On him..", said Nhazul to continue his words.

Those words made Liem surprised for a moment. After that she was immediately standing up on her feet and starting to search for her brother. She was moving up without any words.

"Emm... Did you able to defeat him?", Rebecca was asking to Nhazul.

" I guess so..", Nhazul answered and smiled.

" I have... Promised you,... Have not I?... Even though... I could not... Manage to come back... In the end... Sorry..", Nhazul was apologizing.

" Hmm... Don't make a promise that you can't keep, you dummy!", said Rebecca, she was still in sobber and didn't let Nhazul out from her hug.

"Ah... I am so... Sorry..", Nhazul was apologizing again.

Suddenly, someone interrupted them. Someone with full fireproof costume and the fire extinguisher on him. That was Ghoza.

"Sorry! It's not that I wanna interrupting your intense moment, but I think, shouldn't we take ya to hospital or something?!", Ghoza was speaking.

Rebecca quickly let her hug from Nhazul.

"Shut up, stupid Ghoza! Of course we will bring him to the hospital soon! So don't just stood up there and get you dump van over here!!", Rebecca was shouting on Ghoza.

" What?! Do nothing?!! Didn't ya see that I have had extinguished the fire around here whole this time?!", Ghoza spoke back to Rebecca in high tones.

It was true that, after he got his van back from their last building , he immediately rushed back to that area. He used his fire extinguisher to put down the fire around there. Even he did it nearby them, but they seemed like didn't noticed him at all.

"Ghoza... I think you-... You should help Liem... Help her bring... Her brother here... I need to do something on him... Immediately..", said Nhazul to Ghoza.

" Where is she?!", asked Ghoza as he looked around.

And then he saw her, in some distant from there. He quickly went there to check on her.

"What will you doing on him?", Rebecca was asking on Nhazul about what he planned to Liem Brother.

"Soul transfusion..", Nhazul replied.

"Soul transfusion? What is it?", Rebecca was wondering.

" You will see it later... Ugh!..", answered Nhazul as he tried to rised up but he felt hurt on his body that prevented him on moving so much.

"Don't move so much! You should rest more! Just stay here until we take you to the hospital..", said Rebecca as she kept Nhazul's head on her lap.

"Ah... Sorry... To burden you..", he was apologizing.

" Shut up, you dummy..", she said it in low voice with her smiling face.

To the place where Liem looking for her brother. She found him, his body. She had checked on his vein and his soul, neither of both gave her signs of life on him. To find that, she immediately cried out on her brother's body. She couldn't believe that was the truth. She had tried her best to catch up with him, to save him, but in the end she couldn't make it. Some minutes later, Ghoza came nearby.

"Hei... Nhazul asked me to-... Emm, to bring your brother to him..", Ghoza was trying to talk to Liem.

But Liem didn't answer or respond him. She kept crying on her brother's body. Ghoza could feel what she felt, so he let her be for some moments. But then he remembered Nhazul's words that needed to do something immediately, so he tried to get even closer to Liem, being on her side, and put his hand on her shoulder.

"Let's bring your brother to Nhazul, he might know-..", Ghoza tried to say something but suddenly Liem turned herself on him and hugged him tightly and continued to cry.

"Ah!..", Ghoza was little surprised for that.

" I've tried my best... To save him... But... But, he's... He's... Ahh..", she was crying.

" Yeah! I knew you have doing your best!", he was embracing her.

" Nhazul asked me to bring your brother to him, he might know something to do with it... Let's just see what can he do..", Ghoza was retelling what he wanna saying.

Liem was nodding as for her confirmation. And then she let her hugging out from Ghoza. Then Ghoza brought Liem's brother to Nhazul. After that Ghoza put down Liem's brother near by Nhazul.

"Here he go! What's ya gonna do with him?", Ghoza was asking yo Nhazul.

" Soul transfusion..", answered Nhazul, he seemed really got better than the last time they talked.

"What's that?", Ghoza continued to ask.

"You will understand later... Liem, let me borrow your brother's sword..", after he replied to Ghoza, Nhazul asked Liem to lend him her brother's sword.

Without a single word, Liem gave Nhazul one of sword from her back. Nhazul took it but he thought of something else.

"It is not your brother's sword, it is yours..", Nhazul was asking for another sword from Liem as he returned that one.

Liem surprised to hear that. She thought about how could Nhazul tell if that sword was hers or her brother's because nothing different on those twin sword, she even hadn't tell anything about those sword to Nhazul. But then, he had spoken as he already knew and even he had known which one of hers. But she quickly just gave him another sword from her back. Nhazul took that.

"This is it..", that was what he said.

"How can you tell that was her brother's or hers, Nhaz? Even Liem can't tell which one is hers..", Rebecca noticed that as she was asking.

"There is each of their soul at each of those sword, you can feel it, cannot you?", explained Nhazul.

" Of course I can't, teach me to do it later then, okay?!", replied Rebecca.

Liem was just being quiet. She didn't notice it before until Nhazul said that. Now she thought she knew the meaning of why her brother forbid her to make any different on those swords, it was to train her to sense every single soul at any things.

"Then, what to do next?", Ghoza gave Nhazul another question.

Nhazul put that sword on Xiu, Liem's brother's body, then he used his skill of Soul Transfusion. The soul, Xiu's soul, that had been storage on that sword from battle of Nhazul with Seiken before he finally asked Rebecca to took it last time, was moving from that sword to Xiu's body. And then after the transferred complete, Xiu was regained his conscious.

"Uhugk!... Uh! Hagh..", Xiu woke up.

"Brother! Brother!!", Liem immediately called for him as she was getting closer to him, she was too happy to see that.

"Shihira..", he was responding, he was still too weak at that moment.

"Yes, it's me, brother... Huhu..", she was continuing to crying on her brother.

Ghoza and Rebecca were seen happy to see that too. Of course, so did Nhazul, but he looked gonna fainted as he spent much power to use that skill. But with swiftly move, Rebecca held on him.

"Are you alright?", Rebecca was asking Nhazul.

" Yeah, I just lose some mana on me, but I am fine, it will get better soon, do not worry, okay..", answered Nhazul.

" Alright... Hei, Ghoza! Take your van here and let's bring them to the hospital!", Rebecca ordered Ghoza to get his car to bring Nhazul and Xiu to Hospital.

"Alright! Alright! I'll get it soon, alright! Agh, what do ya think I am? Your private driver or butler or something, huh?!", as he ran to get his car, Ghoza was mumbling himself.

After got his car ready, they were heading to the hospital in the next town. On their way, they kept doing some conversation. And curious Ghoza suddenly asked about how Nhazul could defeat Seiken.

"Hei! How can ya finally defeat Seiken? Ya looked so overwhelmed from the first time battling it?!", that how he asked.

" Uh, I, I do not really know what had happened actually, I truly have no idea what is going on back there, all I know that, I have defeated it and then, I lost my conscious, then Rebecca and Liem wake me up... That is it..", explained Nhazul.

" You mean the soulid in you who actually defeat Seiken while you have no idea what had happened?", Liem tried to tell her opinion.

" I guess so..", responded Nhazul.

"Oh right! Where is mister Mera and umm, ms. Utahara? Are they alright?", Liem asked about Mera and Utahara's condition.

"Oh, y-yes, yes they are, t-they, they are fine..", answered Nhazul, he seemed thinking about something else.

At that time, he actually couldn't communicate with them, but he still could feel their souls were in his body. But he didn't really want to tell how he felt that time. So he just said they are fine without showing them to the surface.

And then they kept on talking about the things back there. Xiu couldn't catch up with them since he was too weak to keep himself awake, so he slept whole time in the van next to Liem who held his hand tightly. Meanwhile Rebecca didn't let herself out of Nhazul, she was on his side and kept holding him whole the times until he was sleeping. And the rest of them were kept on chit chating on that way there.

*Flash memory.

Meanwhile there was the story that Nhazul couldn't tell, it wasn't because he didn't want to tell, it was purely because he didn't know if this thing happened back there. And then let's go back to the time before the storm.

" Huh! Don't worry about your friends! They will follow you up later and you will be met them in the next life!", Seiken continued his words as he started to walk away.

Leaving Nhazul's body there to find his friends and kill them. And as for Nhazul, he was died. Mera, Utahara and even Gaara couldn't help him there. They even couldn't do a single thing to prevent that thing or just to communicate with him. Nothing that they could do. As like Seiken said, when the body that soulid had possessed died, the soulid would started to swaying around to find another body to be possessed and then stayed alive. But when that soulid couldn't find any body for a certain times, that soulid would disappear, in other words, it died. As for Mera, Utahara and Gaara, they couldn't just come out from Nhazul body since they had been sealed in his body by Seiken. That was why Seiken had said that they three would died eventually when he could kill Nhazul. So Seiken didn't mind of them to make another troubles for his plan again, because of that.

On his way to Nhazul's friends, Seiken seemed rather happy for his accomplished. He killed 3 soulids in one strike, that was what he thought. Step by step, he walked further and further from Nhazul's body. But something was happening, he could feel it. The dark clouds appeared in the sky all of sudden, brought with it the big gusting of the wind and then some thunder started to sparking around. He looked up to the sky as he thought, " a storm is coming?". That what he thought. Until a big wave of wind was striking from his behind. But that was not only just waving wind, a big blast of breaking soul was also could be felt by him. He turned around to his back. And he saw nothing was there, not even Nhazul's body, it was gone. He looked around to find it but there was no sign of it but some flying things that sweeped by the storm. He had no idea what had happened there. When a big thunder was raging a big sound. He looked up to the sky again to see what was going on with that sudden thunderstorms. At that same time, he saw Nhazul's body, flying there in the sky. But there was another thing that bother him for some reason. Nhazul's body wasn't fly up because of brought by the storm. And also Seiken could sense a big aura came from it.

"What is it?! Another tricks to fooling me again?!", Seiken shouted, as he spoke to Nhazul's body.

" You hid another soulid in your body and make it out when you're in pinch?! Stop to fooling around!! Come here and fight me!! I'll show you how useless your tricks to be against me!!", Seiken added his words.

Actually he was really surprised that he found out there was another soulid in Nhazul's body. He thought he had sealed them all. And yet he could certainly that the last time when he absorbed Nhazul's life force, he had drained it all, it meant he had to be real death that time. Then this thing was happening. Seiken had already surprised because of that and yet there was another thing to adding his thoughts. Nhazul's body which was flying on the sky had been striking by the thunder, but his body didn't get burned or sparked.

And then, unbelievable thing happened afterward, Nhazul was opening his eyes, those eyes were shining brightly like the lightning had filled it up. His hair was getting sparked and growing long to his back. After that, he moved his hand, he was pointing his finger to Seiken.

"What?! You wanna fight?! Come here!! I'll reap your body apart this time for sure!!", Seiken prepared his sword to battle.

But then, in a second moment a lightning was striking toward Seiken. And that lightning came from Nhazul's finger. Seiken was in shocked. His vision got blank for a moment, but he could regain himself back afterward.

"Just COME HERE AND FIGHT ME!!!", Seiken was shouting so loud in his angry voice.

But he stopped when he found out that Nhazul had gone from his place in sky. And at that moment also, Seiken could felt someone's hand was on his shoulder. He turned his head to see who's hand was that. That was Nhazul's hand. At that brief moment, Seiken would strike back with his sword, but before even a single move he had done, a huge thunder had sparked all over the place for one or two seconds and then gone. Leaving all things it hit burned. Then a shining thing came out from Seiken, no Xiu's body, and that shining thing was Seiken soul. It flied high to the sky and disappeared to getting back to the other world, soul realm world. Xiu's body was falling to the ground. It didn't got burned because of the effect of Seiken's previous skin body. And the place where it laid down was rather far from the burning things. And for Nhazul, he tried to walk away. He was heading to the place where he sensed present of Rebecca's.

"Rghh... Behh... Kagrhh...", those how it sounded before he fell down to the ground on his walking.

For some minutes he had fallen, the storm got calmed and then stopped. But because of last blow of the wind from that storm, some fire was getting near to him from the burning things around. And at that moment, a robeman was coming and picking him up. That robeman brought Nhazul's body to the place where was safer from that place which far from the fire. There was a toy store at the side of the road that not even a single fire reaching it while all over area around that store was on fire. And that robeman put down Nhazul's body there, on the street floor in front of that store.

"It's good that the shield I made to protect myself from your attack last time, managed to prevent this place from burned, otherwise you'll make other troubles for me... Sigh, why a low class of soulid could make you to do this far? Using a skill that almost near to the skill of Narukami's power, that's just too much for that kind of soulid... You even can't manage to kill it, just sending it back to soul realm world, sigh..", that robeman seemed like trying to speak with Nhazul, but Nhazul couldn't respond nor even react to him.

After put Nhazul's body down to the street floor, that robeman was doing some skills as he opened a kind of scroll and put it on Nhazul's body.

"-Soul Foundation-", he said it, then the scroll was shining on Nhazul's body.

"-Build Up-", then it seemed like those shining thing was getting inside Nhazul's body.

"Alright, next-..!!", that robeman seemed like to do another thing but he was stopping.

He sensed someone's present was getting nearby.

"Oh, right! A friend, huh? It's good thing, right? Better than just being all alone! Alright, I'll just gonna leave you to your friends then, the process have been starting though, just wait some moments until you wake up again... Alright then! I'm leaving..", after that ropeman said those words,

"-Lighting Steps-", he used skill that made him moved really fast like disappeared in the light.

He disappeared a moment before Rebecca arrived that place and noticed that Nhazul was there.

Then returned to the present time where Nhazul and his friends had finally reached the hospital in the next town. Xiu got to be under medical care. And Nhazul, he surprisingly got better himself, so he decided to not to be hospitalized. That was so, they four, Nhazul, Rebecca, Ghoza and Liem, got some chit chatting on the park at the hospital's area.

"So, you're leaving?", Liem was asking them.

" We have defeated those soulids, your brother have saved and we are all safe here, so the things here are all done, we'll be going to next case, ya see..", answered Ghoza.

" Emm... Don't you want to-.., don't you wanna spend some few times on our temple to learn something?", Liem was asking another thing.

" Ihihi... That's sounds good! Right, Nhaz!? Ghoza!?", Rebecca was answering, but she seemed like want to do somethings else.

"Ahaha..", Nhazul was just laughing.

" Yeah that's good, but maybe next time!! We-.., em, we need to make a report to our research team, yeah! Right! And immediately! That's it!", Ghoza was declining.

" Oh! Y-you need to do that? Ouu I see..", Liem seemed down.

" Huh?! Do we need to do that?!", Rebecca was asking Ghoza.

" Em, y-yes, yes! Of course we do needed to make a report from what we had done! And, and immediately! Ya don't know?! Of course ya don't! Ya never did it! I did it! 'kay, let get back quickly!", Ghoza moved away to the parking lot in hastily.

"Heee??!! Really?! Umm, how boring!!", Rebecca was upsetting.

" Well then, Liem, see you next time, okay!... Hei!! Ghoza! Wait!!", Rebecca was saying a good bye to Liem and went to chase Ghoza to stop him.

She wanted to expose something within him. That was so, she was shouting to make him stop but her voice was so loud that make too much noisy in that hospital area. Some people and the security there were scolding on her. And she was shutting up her mouth after apologizing. And she kept on moving to chase Ghoza. Meanwhile Nhazul, he was still there with Liem, they were laughing to see what happened to Rebecca.

"Then, I will be going too, you take a good care of your brother, okay! And your own self too, of course! Hihi..", Nhazul was saying a farewell.

" Yeah! You all too! And thank you very much for all you have done to me and my brother! I don't know what will happen to us if you are not there!", Liem was showing her gratefulness as she was also bowing to Nhazul.

"You are welcome, just do not do the reckless thing again, okay..", replied from Nhazul as he was starting to walk away.

"You're the one who got reckless back then... Ahaha..", Liem was laughing as she saw they were leaving.

After some minutes, Nhazul got to reach the van. He entered it.

"Why so long? We haven't much patience, you know?", Rebecca was complaining.

" I am sorry, I need to go to toilet first back there... I am so sorry, okay..", Nhazul was apologizing.

" Oh I see... Well, let's go then! Ghoza!", Rebecca was calling Ghoza to start his car.

"... Oh! Yes, right! Here we go!", Ghoza seemed like to think about something else, but then he started his can and then it started to move out from that hospital parking lot.

"What are you thinking, Ghoza? You seem to be worry about something..", Nhazul was asking to Ghoza after he found worried face on Ghoza.

"Ah! It's, it's nothing, I just think about.., emm, the report for this case! Yeah right! The report!", responded Ghoza to Nhazul's question.

"Hmm... Isn't it obviously he's thinking about Liem! Ahaha.., You can't hide your feeling toward her from me, you know!", Rebecca was teasing Ghoza.

" Really? Ghoza?", Nhazul was also wondering.

" Shut up! It's not your business, 'kay! Don't bother me!!", Ghoza spoke as he felt irritated and blushed on his face.

"Oops! Speaking of her, there she is!", said Rebecca as she saw Liem was waiting on the gate pass of that hospital.

After passed the gate pass out, they pulled the car over to get near to Liem on the side walk. Liem was getting closer as she reached to the side where Ghoza's seat. The opened door's window on Ghoza's side, made her easily to speak with them.

"W-what is it? Is there something else you wanna from me-us?", asked Ghoza to start the conversation.

"Umm, I want to thank you for one more time to you all, I don't think I can make it to this point if it isn't because of you guys, so, thank you very much", she said it as she was bowing.

" Yeah! Nevermind that! You can ask for any help later on to us, right Nhaz?", replied Rebecca to Liem as she also asked for a confirmation of Nhazul.

"Oh yeah, of course, we will help you out for sure..", responded Nhazul.

" Hmm... You guys, you're so kind, thank you... And....", Liem was thanking to Rebecca and Nhazul, then she stared at Ghoza as he was just quiet and say nothing.

"Umn... Of course I'll help too, w-we are team after all, ya know that! Yeah right! That's it-..!!", Ghoza was almost finished his words but he got a little surprised from Liem.

Liem kissed him on his cheek and then smiling at him.

"Yes, of course! That's it! Have a safe drive!", Liem finished her words then she was waving her hand as the sign of farewell.

Ghoza moved his car to continue the driving to go back to their hometown. Leaving Liem there alone before she finally went back to the hospital to accompany her brother. And as for Ghoza, he looked so happy there. But Rebecca couldn't hold up to started to teasing him.

"Good for you, huh?! Ghoza?!", that was what she said.

She smiled and laughed to make Ghoza annoyed, but those were completely ignored by Ghoza. He seemed couldn't forget about what had happened just now. He was really surprised and so happy there. For a moment, Rebecca lost her fun for being ignored by Ghoza. And the she thought another thing.

"Wait! Nhaz! You said last time you were from the toilet, right?", seemed like Rebecca was suspecting of something.

"Um, yes, I went to the toilet, what is it?", replied Nhazul to Rebecca.

" You don't lying to me, right? You didn't get some kisses from Liem too, right?", that was what she thought on him.

" No, no of course, why do you think I am lying?", Nhazul was confirming the truth.

" Utahara didn't take control of your body back then?", she was still suspecting on him/her.

" No, and even she did, I would know what she did, so n-..", Nhazul hadn't finished his words but Rebecca cut it.

"Really?! Let me check your face! Come here! I want to see if there is some of her lips marks left on your face..", Rebecca was trying to search of lips marks on Nhazul face.

Her face got really close to Nhazul's face. And Nhazul was forced to facing his face toward her, to make her easy to search for the lips marks on his face. But then suddenly Nhazul sensed the car that driven by Ghoza was out of track because of Ghoza was daydreaming, it would crash on some trees ahead. So, he hit Ghoza to get Ghoza back to the focus of the track. And so he did, Ghoza was getting back to the focus and finding that the car was almost hit the trees. The he swiftly changed the steering wheel to make the car turned to another ways. That made a big shaking in the car, but he succeed to avoid the trees and back to the road.

"Ahaha... Sorry, man! I got spaced up just now! Are ya alr-.., eh!?", Ghoza was apologizing.

As he did apologizing, he also tried to checking on them but he found that Nhazul and Rebecca was kissing. As they were being seen, Rebecca immediately got a distant from Nhazul, as her face turned all red, she was blushing. Nhazul couldn't do anything he still stunning there. Then slowly to get himself to sit on his seat calmly.

"You better watch the road, Ghoza, that was really dangerous, was not it?", Nhazul was talking to Ghoza about his focus.

"Yeah! Yeah! Sorry, I lost my focus! But it's okay! I mean ya are kissing! Just forget about me! Hahaha... I can enjoy it by the way! Hahaha..", Ghoza was laughing so much to teasing them up, his pay back times.

"That is an accident because of your careless, Ghoza, do not make fun of it..", responded Nhazul.

" SHUT UP YOU TWO! JUST MOVE IT FAST TO OUR HOMETOWN! I WANT GO HOME!!", Rebecca was yelling.

"Yeah! Yeah! I got it! Haha..", said Ghoza as he was still laughing on them.

"Um, go home? But we need to make a report first, do not we?", Nhazul was reacting.

" I SAID SHUT UP!!", she got mad.

But she was definitely embarrassing for that moments, she tried to keep it hide but of course she couldn't. She was too blushed there. Even she seemed remembering about what she did when he found Nhazul body's on the burning area and then some words that she had said to Nhazul when they were arguing on the bridge back then. She was so flustered about the things she made. What a complicated relationship, she thought. She was just the one who thought that way complicated because of what she had decided herself. And so, they were heading back to Delima city to go to their home.

In somewhere else, on Utaraside, at the some alley in the city, within the night time. There was a man who walking up with something on his hand, a katana in its cover. On his way, he got himself to plague some thugs at that place by walked on their way.

"What's your problem, man?!", a thug called for that man who kept on his walked.

"Hei stop! Don't you want to apologise for what had you done?", another thug asked that man to stop.

He was stopping but he didn't turned himself around.

"What is that? A katana? Uuuw!! You're trying to show how supreme you are by bringing that katana all around, huh?!", that thug was teasing.

After hearing those words that man continued his walk. Felt being to be disrespected, those thugs started to attack that man all at one. In a moment, those noisy thugs were shutted. That man continued to walk and left them be. And then, their heads, those thugs' were flying on the sky and dropped to the ground and then followed by their bodies afterward. Nothing could be seen what had happened there. It was like that just happened in a second and all.

That man had walked further from those thugs' bodies. Suddenly a wave of wind passed him by, that wave of wind was also bringing a blast of powerful aura, he could tell who's it. He stopped for a moment.

"Hmm... Etz Siuss! Wait for me there!", that was what he said as he continued to walk.

That's it! The end of the story..
