Kuragi once again was standing in the middle of the grassy field, but this time a few things were different. For one, it was now the middle of night, and also now she wasn't alone, Haku and Bone were there and they had been arguing for hours. Haku had explained to him everything about this world, and about why Bone was here, but Bone didn't seem to want to help Haku at all. In the end Haku just walked away from him. " C'mon kuragi we're leaving".
" Shouldn't we leave him with something, some way to survive?" Kuragi sounded honestly worried for Bone. He may not have been a real hunter, but at some point Kuragi did look up to him, so she couldn't just leave him here to fend for himself. Haku didn't look pleased with the idea, but he had yet to win an argument with her, so he just nodded. He got down on his knees and drew a chalk square on the ground, similar to the ones they'd used to teleport. He reached into the square and pulled out a rifle. Haku walked over back towards Bone who was surveying the landscape, trying to decide on a direction to head. " Oi, old man, I'm about to do something godly, so stop your daydreaming." With that Bone scowled and looked back towards Haku. He continued " I the great god Haku, bestow upon you my godly blessing" he handed Bone the rifle. Bone looked the rifle over and shouldered it, he now looked like a real professional hunter. He looked down at the god who was almost a foot shorter than him.
" I don't know about any demon lords or anything like that, but from what you've described this world sounds pretty messed up" a grin started to creep across Bone's face. " This world sounds like it could provide some decent entertainment, so for the time being I'll stay." With that said Bone took off in a direction very close to the direction Kuragi had walked when she first arrived here. Haku looked over at the man walking away and yelled one last warning.
" That direction leads straight to demon country, if you wanna find other humans to live with I'd try that way" Haku pointed in the exact opposite direction. Bone simply acknowledged Haku's warning with a nod and turned around to head in this new direction. Haku looked back towards Kuragi with a proud look in his eyes " Time to head home" he said while waving around the chalk he used to draw squares.

Kuragi was back in her room, Haku was there as well helping himself to any and all food in her kitchen. Kuragi didn't even feel like getting mad, she was tired from their long day and looking forward to some rest. She was also curious if Bone's death had made the news yet, so she laid down in bed and grabbed her laptop to check the news. At the top page of every news site was the story, " World Famous Hunter J.T. Bone found dead in the jungles of South America." She read further, " Bone was found dead at the base of a waterfall, it is presumed to be murder as the murder weapon was found at the scene of the crime. This giant semi truck was found by Bone's body. The truck has been taken into custody by the American police department in hopes to find some kind of evidence towards Bone's murder." Kuragi had to reread the report just to be sure, they had the truck, Haku had said he'd go back to pick it up, but the police had taken the truck. Kuragi was worried, what if they traced the murder back to her, she wasn't ready for jail life. She looked over at Haku who was still stuffing her face with her food. " They have the truck, they are going to find us and stop us, and we are both going to go to jail." Haku looked up at her confused for a bit then started laughing.
" I'm a god, I'm not even from this world they can't track me, and as for you, your dead, you leave no traces behind, and even if you did it would just lead them to a cemetery" Kuragi looked a little relieved, but she realized one more thing.
" The truck, the American police have it, don't we need it?" Haku just smiled
" I guess we'll just have to break it out." Kuragi just sighed, the whole reason they were in this mess in the first place was because Haku hadn't gone back and grabbed the truck like he said he would. Stealing back their truck seemed like a whole lot of work, but if it really was the only way to send people to that other world, than she supposed it was something that needed to be done. She got started working on a plan to get it out.

Awhile later there was a knocking on the door. Strange, nobody should know that they were still living here. Kuragi and Haku ignored it at first assuming they must have the wrong apartment. But the knocking grew louder and faster to the point where Kuragi worried for her door. And then a voice came from the other side " Haku open up, I know you are in there"
