Apartment...
Fushimi entered the apartment unit and saw Nami sitting at the sofa. "Why are you still up?", Fushimi asked. "Sorry, I wasnt able to sleep without you here", Nami smiled. "Nami, Shinoa walked me home a while ago. I'm fine. Stop worrying about me", Fushimi entered his room to change. He went out and saw Nami lying down the sofa. He carried her to her room and had hard time removing her grip. Fushimi slept beside her. "It was a painful thing seeing you...like that", Nami sleep talked.

4:30 am... The next day,
A hand pinched Fushimi's nose. "Time for work", he recognized the voice and hurriedly stood up getting his eyeglasses. "What are you doing here this time of day?", Fushimi yawned. "Shh.. She'll wake up. Go wash yourself. We'll be collecting fragments of the Slate", Aisaka instructed. After sometime, Fushimi went out from his room wearing casual clothes. They went out of the apartment and met with Gino and the others at the van. "Wah!!! Im so jealous. I also want some special treatment from the King", Gino whined. Erina slapped his back. "Stop talking and just drive", Erina commanded. Mikoshiba studied the direction of the Strains carrying some fragments of the Slate. "The Strain separated ways", Mikoshiba informed. "The three of you, go catch after the other one. Fushimi-san and I will be hunting the other one", Aisaka instructed. Fushimi and Aisaka ended at the forest place outside Tokyo. The surroundings was covered with fog. Fushimi held on to Aisaka's cloak. "Afraid of the fog?", Aisaka teased. "In this environment, it's the enemy's advantage. Dont get separated with me", Aisaka looked behind and saw nothing but a piece of rock.

Fushimi's illusion...
"Yo!!! My beloved son", a familiar voice made Fushimi draw his sword. "I bet your ability is look into someone's mind. Show yourself and stop using lame jokes", Fushimi pointed the sword to him. "Ah... You're able to point your sword towards your father?", The Strain asked in amusement. "If you keep using that form, it'll be easier for me to cut through you", Fushimi slashed him using his blue saber and blood spatted on the ground. The Strain laughed and started to regenerate. Fushimi draws both of the sword and advanced to attack but the Strain kept regenerating. "I see, you are the first clansman of the Black King", the Strain changed into Aisaka's form back when she got grey hair and blue eyes. "That wont work against me", Fushimi wiped his sweat. "Why dont you use your black flame?", The Strain smiled sarcastically. Fushimi furrowed his brow and looked around. It was all foggy. He closed his eyes and listened to the sound of the wind. "So bad that I forgotten how to use it", Fushimi swings his sword and was able to hit real flesh. The fog disappeared leaving the Strain in his original form. Blood is dripping from his lower abdomen. "Didnt you know...that your ki-", the Strain stopped talking when an arrow was stabbed on his throat. Aisaka appeared nowhere and went to slash the Strain's neck.

At a strange looking house...
Gino's group entered and saw dead rats scattered on the entrance and even birds hanged upon the walls. Erina called Aisaka.

Erina: Seema like the other Strain is already dead.

Aisaka: Dont loose focus...they have different abilities.

Erina: Copy, we'll meet at the headquarters.

Aisaka: No worries, I can entrust you with Mikoshiba.

Scepter 4...
Domyouji jumped in front of Fushimi and Aisaka who's walking upstairs to report the incident to the Blue King. "Its really  Shinoa!!!", Domyouji's eyes brightened. Aisaka patted his shoulder. "Nice to meet you again, Scepter Knight", Shinoa greeted. Domyouji tilted his head. "It's me, Domyouji", the red-head man sighed. "Domyouji-san, mind interviewing the Strain for us?", Aisaka gave a weak smile. He left and the two continued walking. "It's just unfair", Fushimi opened. "The people whom you left waited and weeped for your lost...but still you cannot remember their name", Fushimi commented. Aisaka turn around and look at Fushimi with a sad look on her eyes. "It's not the reason of my existence", Aisaka answered.

They entered Reishi's office and reported what happened along the mission. "I've been wondering. Why is it that the slate went back to life?", Reishi crossed his hands while sitting on his chair. "Munakata Reishi. Do you doubt my control over the slate?", Aisaka asked. "Not really, you were the one who destroyed the slate...but why did it came back to life along with you", Reishi asked. "The Slate kept me alive for 12 years after the experiments. Naturally, it will do the same to me. In order to continue, it needs a vessel", Aisaka looked at Fushimi looking outside the window. "The rest of your gang is here", Fushimi pointed outside the window. "We'll continue it the next time we ran into each other", Aisaka bid goodbye and unite with the three. They walked away from the building and disappeared. Fushimi was left at the gate of the Headquarters of scepter 4. Nami passed through him and slapped his back. "You left without saying a word", Nami complained. "Good news Fushimi-san. I was able to pay the 4,000,000 debt with my own money", Nami reported. "Nice Job", Fushimi rustled with her hair. "Back to work", Fushimi led the way back to the building. Its already mid-day and the sun is at it's highest peek. "You havent took your breakfast so I packed you with your favorite veggies", Nami teased. "Seriously?", Fushimi raised his brow. "Just kidding", Nami pushed him. I've been with this girl for almost a year. She knew things about me...but come to think of it, I have no useful information about her."You have scary stares", Nami pouted. "Nami, where's your father?", Fushimi asked. "I dont know... I guess running away from his debts", Nami answered. They went to the dinning room and ate. "Running away, eh", Fushimi clicked his tongue. "Have you ever tried to look for him?", Fushimi asked. "We've been together for a year and why are you asking me like that?", Nami tilted her head. "Just that....you've done so much for me. I dont want to have debts of gratitude", Fushimi cleared his throat. "That cute part of you", Nami messed up with his hair. "As long as you're with me, it's enough", Nami smiled brightly. I missed her smile. Fushimi sighed and averted his eyes.
