"Is it just me or I haven't seen inumaki for the past 4 days," Issei stated as he plays around with the familiar of the whole club.

"Now that you mention it, yeah it has been really quiet from those time being." Rias rose up from the paper she was reading.

"Do you think he hates us or something might happen to him?" Akeno declared worrying herself and the whole orc, trying to think if they have done something to the onigiri boy to disappear like that.

"Is it because I didn't treat him in an all you can eat sushi bar?" Issei question thinking it may get a big impact on inumaki.

"Probably," Koneko responded.

"Ah, man! I knew I should've-"

"What about the finger we gave him president?"

"Huh- wait what? A finger?" Issei gave Xenovia a questionable look before looking up to the vice and president.

-

"How's inumaki doing Asia?"

"Better than before president, although I can't heal his vocal cords, I think there is a kind of seal that is preventing me from healing it."

"I see, thank you, Asia." Asia walks out of the room being greeted with Akeno and Xenovia on the way out.

"President," Akeno called.

"Yes?"

"We got something for you to see."

Xenovia grab the cloth from her pocket and began unwrapping it.

"What do you think it is president?" Xenovia question while they stare at a red finger with groves indicated in it.

"From what I can tell, it's not something we should be letting our guards down. It's giving off a strange and powerful aura in it that I c-"

A coughing sound was heard behind them alerting them, Rias rushes to inumaki trying to make him stop coughing by letting him wash it down with water.

"Tu...." Inumaki wasn't able to complete his word as he felt his vocal cords dry and irritated.

"I know, for now, don't speak for some time, for you to be able to recover your throat."

Inumaki nodded before looking up at Akeno and Xenovia, his eyes travel down to Xenovia hand for him seeing a finger wrapped in cloth.

"Su...ji...k"

Inumaki motion his hand at a sort of grabbing motion while constantly pointing at the wrap-up finger in the blue hair hands.

The three took the hint before they peered at Rias seeing what she thinks only for the red-haired to respond with a nod.

Xenovia gave inumaki the finger seeing him stared at it in shock mix with relief.

"Inumaki, do you know what this is?"

-

"Now that you have mentioned it Xenovia, he does look quite frightened by it but also, needed for something." Akeno clarifies as Rias began to think harder to find out what is happening.

"I think I saw him going in the direction of a train station, from what I think 2 days ago," Asia adds up, making everyone in the room surprised at what they have heard.

"Train station? Where is he going?" Rias wanted an explanation for what has been troubling their dear friend. She noticed that Kiba has been really quiet this morning and haven't been talking to them much more now.

"Kiba," Rias said his name firmly grabbing the boy attention.

"Oh-um- yes president?" By just the way Kiba stuttered, she already knew something was up.

"Do you know what happens to inumaki?"

"No president..."

"Kiba..." Rias flare her aura around the room letting Kiba knows that she isn't playing any games.

Inumaki have grown close to Rias, when she always is stress about stray devils and paper works, inumaki would be there to give her some back massages.

Rias is left sometimes at the club, when all her peerage are sent to fight some stray devils or them doing others requests, Inumaki would help her fill half of the paper that has been laying on her desk to lessen her work from time to time and he even took her out to a small date at the arcade winning her a smiling rice ball in the claw machine game. So for him, disappear like that, is serious talk.

"I...I'm really sorry president, but this is the only time I can obey your order. I promise him to not you guys know about his certain absence in the club."

"Rias, calm down, he's probably doing it for our safety." 

Akeno is also worried for her dear friend sudden disappearance, but she knows they couldn't just go chase him for answers.

"I know Akeno, but what if he is in danger right now and we don't-"

"Rias, we all grew close to inumaki, he is strong enough to take care of his own life, let's just hope he doesn't abuse himself with his words."

-

"Attention all passengers we are arriving at Tokyo Station."

A White-haired boy woke you from the announcement, rubbing his eyes before looking down to his hand, firmly gripping a wooden box like a coffin.

Outside the train station, a black hair boy and green-haired girl with glasses and seems like they are waiting for someone.

"Kelp." (Hey)
