Secrets, And Kyoto

When Yuuji and Shou arrived at his home, the door was opened for them from inside, by Yuuji's mother. She had the same white hair as Yuuji, with violet-colored eyes. They were met by her smile, and she said:

"Welcome back, Yuu-Kun, and it's good to see you again, Shou"

"I'm back" Yuuji replied and entered

"It's good to see you too, Oba-San. Pardon my intrusion" said Shou with a bow, and entered.

"You're not intruding at all. You, Kate, Erika, and Mike are all family. You're always welcome here. How is Mika-San?"

"Mom is doing great, back at our home in Kyoto..." Shou said as he closed the door behind him.

"That's great to hear! Well, dinner will be served soon, so I'll call you when it's ready"

"Ok. We'll be in my room" Yuuji said and they went up.

After Yuuji closed the door behind him, Shou said:

"I heard that your kitten joined the Chaos Brigade"

"I know, which is why before I sent her out of the house, I planted one of your recording devices you invented. I've received some valuable information from it" Yuuji answered

"What a coincidence! I've planted a recording device on the traitor and his group, and they also joined the Chaos Brigade!"

"So he joined them too? Good, as it will give me more motivation to destroy them"

"Well, no offense, but I don't think you can defeat the Ouroboros Dragon..." Shou said

"Of course I don't. But, if our plan will succeed, we won't have to"

"Yes. I'm sure HE will be able to defeat her, at least according to what Merlin-San said. Speaking of which, did you contacted her to tell her that we're finally starting to move out of the shadows?"

"Not yet. I'll tell her once we start. Anyway, how's the warehouse going?"

"Great. It's full of the highest quality of weapons and other stuff, combined with magic and technology. I've got to tell you, that old man is a genius! He might be a little old-fashioned, but he understood things that took me hours to learn! I guess that being the god of blacksmithing makes you good with machines and weapons..."

"Well, that is Hephaestus, though he has very bad social skills... You didn't tell the others, right?" Yuuji asked

"Of course not! Erika will kill me if I'll tell her that I lied to her, and instead of spending it on cars and girls, I spend my money on creating mass destruction weapons"

"Well, it's not like you're not spending it on cars and girls..."

"Well, not as much as she thinks I do! Say, did you tell Kate that the fallen angel approached you by asking you out?"

"Do you think I'm stupid? I need to know what she wants from me, not to destroy her, together with this town"

"I think you're wrong. You see, I also put a recording device on Erika, so I heard Kate say that she needs to make you a harem since she can't sexually satisfy you"

"You put a recording device on your girlfriend? That's just another level of creepiness..."

"That's what you focus on!?"

"Aside from your creepiness, I don't know what to think about a harem. As much as I hate to say it, it's true that Kate can't fully satisfy me in bed, but I don't think it is fair for her, and to any other girl, in the case I decide to have a harem..."

"Well, that is something you need to discuss among yourselves. I have my bunch of problems with Erika"

"That is true, though you were the one who brought it up in the first place... anyway, did you do the other task I asked you to do?"

"Well, I've been looking for them, but I only found seven of them..." Shou said, and took a silver briefcase out of a pocket dimension, and then opened it. Inside the briefcase, there were seven violet orbs, with different black symbols on them.

"There you have it. Faith, Love, Pacifism, Piety, Reticence, Selflessness, and Truth. I found seven out of the ten commandments..."

~~~ With Erika ~~~

"Where is he!? We've been waiting for 7 hours, but he didn't arrive yet!" Kate yelled in anger

"Call it a hunch, but I think I know where he is..." Erika said and took out her phone, called Yuuji and put the call on speaker, and Yuuji answered after a few seconds:

"Erika. Is there something wrong?" Yuuji asked

"Shou is already there, right?"

"Yes. He arrived here when I finished school"

"He made us wait here, and went to meet you!?" exclaimed Kate

"Erika, I know that you're angry, but I need you to wait for Mike to arrive. Who knows what will happen if you won't pick him up directly from the airport... with his bad sense of direction, he can end up anywhere..."

"...Then, tell Shou that I'm sending an angry Kate to prepare him for his punishment" Erika said, hanged up, and then said to Kate:

"You'll go there now, while I wait for Mike here. I trust you to give Shou a solid beating"

"You can count on me... I'll make him taste hell for making me wait for him, while I should've already been united with my Yuu... I'll see you there, Erika" Kate said and went out of the room, with a dark aura surrounding her.

~~~ Time Skip ~~~

It was finally time for Mike to arrive, and Erika was already waiting for him at the airport. However, Mike didn't show up in the first 30 minutes, and that was when she received a phone call from Mike:

"Erika... I think we have a problem..."

"What happened? Where are you? Don't tell me you left the airport without me..."

"It's not that. I was in a hurry and I accidentally went on the wrong flight..."

"...Where are you?"

~~~ With Mike ~~~

"Well..." Mike said as he was in the air, to check where he was, and looked down at the cultural capital city of Japan.

"I'm in Kyoto..."
