"Fu.. bu.. ki... Shirou?" Endou muttered in shock.
Fubuki smiled gently tapping Endou's shoulder, "just take more rest, Endou Mamoru.. Then we're___"
"Fubuki, tell me who are you exactly!?" Endou slapped Fubuki's hand. He felt there's something with Fubuki which disturbed him a lot.
Fubuki closed his eyes briefly, "for now, I'm just Fubuki Shirou, captain.. I'll join your team and fight alongside with you.." He smiled, "just don't think too much about it.."
Endou was struggling after Fubuki's words. He knew that this Fubuki hid something from him, but he couldn't force him to reveal himself for more. He didn't want another stranger in his team, yet he couldn't fight it back for some reason. It's like he's under pressure of something unseen. Days passed, Endou was feeling much better with just a bit stung of pain in his head every time he standing up. Soon, he learned that Epsilon was one of the underworld's lower rank rulers that often looking for human being to make them as a dish or else. They wouldn't be able to go to the surface and just playing around with Endou's team while waiting for Endou's death. It's not clear what would they do after that, but something else distracted them to held Endou from running away from them, even they spread out poisonous air to shorten the death. The other unclear thing was how could Endou's team weren't tainted by the poison? That still remained unsolved and seemed like the whole team wouldn't spill a word about it.
Endou nodded lightly while sipping his cup of tea, "I see.." He sighed, "then.. Yuuichi, what to do next? We've been kicked out from the nearest location to the Chrono Stone.."
Yuuichi thought hard by touching his chin, "that's the point.. I don't know either.."
"Captain, why don't we use the spare time to enjoy this town's view?" Fubuki smiled to assure Endou not to force himself more than this.
"No! We have to move quick!" Endou insisted.
Fubuki switched his smile into a glum expression with a bit amber glow on his eyes, "you shouldn't have woken up this early, Endou Mamoru.." He murmured.
"Oh, Endou.. There's something I want to ask you.. " Yuuichi looked at Endou seriously.
"About what, Yuuichi? Go ahead.."
Yuuichi hesitated but he urged to spill the words which were stuck in his mouth, "why did you let them to go out of control?"
Endou flinched, didn't get with what Yuuichi said. He just stared at him with one of his eyebrows raised up and a short 'huh?' indicating that he confused totally with the topic.
"You're their source of power.. You're supposed to limit their free will.." Yuuichi got worried, "it's really a pain to handle them when they're out of their mind due to the lost of the balancing will power.." He sighed, "but thanks to Fubuki who stopped them from doing further brutality.. Or else, they would be a killing machine.."
"What!?" Endou was shocked, "what do you mean___"
"Woah, easy.. easy.." Fudou interrupted by rushing in between Endou and Yuuichi, "stop right there, you wavy navy boy.." He glared at Yuuichi, "that's out of the border line.. Please stay back.."
Kidou dragged Yuuichi by tapping on his shoulder, "don't your dare to go further or..." He tightened the grab, "you will be separated from your current vessel.." He released him by pushed him back off.
For a short moment, Yuuichi felt the tense orbs aiming at him from all the team who was there with him. That made his heart throbbed fast as sweat flew down his forehead. The eerie air which was the same with back then was back, haunting him once more. As the guardian of Chronos, he should have known everything about Endou and his teammates, but this was the first time that the boys went beyond his understanding. He doubted himself for letting him to be a guide for the bandana boy. Was this the right path for him? He looked at Fubuki who was staying silent at the corner of the room and saw that this grayish boy was furrowing his eyebrows at Endou. He didn't know what Fubuki's goal after Endou, but he knew that this boy had something to do with what would happen next.
"Captain, please don't think too much about it.. You need to rest for more.." Fubuki tried to calm Endou.
"But.. I need to know more.. What's happening here and what's that mean by becoming a killing machine?" Endou insisted.
Fubuki exhaled heavily, "well, I have no choice then.."
He touched Endou's head and for just seconds, Endou fell unconsciously.
"Say, Yuuichi-kun.." Fubuki smiled at Yuuichi, "it's not the right time to say that topic.. Please wait a little longer until our captain is ready.."
Yuuichi was stung by Fubuki's intimidating aura behind his innocent smile. Just who exactly he was and what's with the Inazuma team? Even Kidou and Gouenji couldn't speak back at the grayish boy in Endou's place.
Meanwhile, when the day turned to night and everyone was in a deep dream, there's a figure who was standing near a window with tense look on his face.
"What exactly are you thinking about, Fubuki?"
"Nothing.." The other figure appeared after the shadow, "it's just.. I'm interested since it turns out this way with you, who change your mind and joining Endou's team instead of preventing him to get the stone, Yuuichi-kun.."
"It's my own will.. I'm sure that this boy can save him in different way.." Yuuichi defending himself.
"I know.. I know.." Fubuki nodded, "but.. please keep it in your mind that he's not the real Endou Mamoru.."
