Chapter 44: RING Part One: The Spirit Purification

(Kaaru walks and sees his aunty Junri, making Kaaru happy)

KAARU: Aunty Junri, you're alive!

JUNRI: (turns to Kaaru and replied) No Kaaru.

KAARU: (surprised)

JUNRI: I'm dead.

KAARU: No, you can't leave me. (He said while seeing her leaving and he calls her back) Don't go! JUNRI! (While stretching out his hand and...)

(Kaaru woke up while looking at his hand stretched out while was surprised and noticed that it was all a dream)

KAARU: (got up from his head and touches his head) What the hell is all these?

(At Hatsuo's house)

(Yuuto, who was seen seated on  and takes a drink. Surprisedly, the lady who uses spirit powers came in)

??: Hey.

YUUTO: ... (looked at her confused)

??: You must be Yuuto. (While taking her seat)

YUUTO: ... (didn't say anything but took a sip)

??: (Looked at him while making a comical defeated face and...) Er... If you don't know my name, I'm Akumi. Nice to meet you.

YUUTO: (still didn't say anything, which made Akumi's annoyed)

AKUMI: Hey aren't you answering me? I'm only introducing myself to you.

??: Akumi. (As the person came in)

AKUMI: What is it now Tetsu? Can't you see I'm trying to talk to the newbie. (Then whispers to him) And he hasn't said anything to us. He's so scary.

TETSU: Akumi, this is no time for that.

AKUMI: Ohh I don't know why you always don't listen to me. You're sooo lame.

TETSU: Don't disrespect me, Akumi. I'm your big brother.

AKUMI: Yeah right, I know. So lame. So what do you want?

TETSU: Master wants to assemble us.

AKUMI: Oh I see. We're going for another mission. It's about time. (As Yuuto suddenly got up from his seat, making Akumi to be shocked. Yuuto then took his leave without saying a word)

TETSU: (whisper to her) Okay, he's so scary.

(Time skip to the three of them assembled in front of Hatsuo, who was seen seated)

HATSUO: It's been three weeks now and I assumed you all have gotten stronger especially you Yuuto.

YUUTO: (looked at Hatsuo and by his face, Hatsuo believes that it's a yes)

HATSUO: Tonight, we are going to find Kaaru.

AKUMI: Why do you always go after that boy.

HATSUO: Because I was sent to do so. (While making an evil smile on his face)

(Meanwhile at Ippei's clothing shop, at the hideout, Ippei was sleeping on the couch, Eito and Takashi was seated on a chair while reading their books, Kaaru was on his kneels, holding piles of books on his head while raises it on his palms up and Hiro was standing while worried about the punishment Shin gave to Kaaru)

KAARU: Do I have to do this all day? (While making a comical defeat face)

SHIN: (While was on a couch) Until I will tell you to stop.

EITO: Should he have to do this? This is really serious by the way.

TAKASHI: (while flipping pages on a book on his hand and said) Yeah and Shin wouldn't forgive him for that since he disobeyed him. (sigh) This one is also boring. (As he drops the book among the books Kaaru was holding)
