After getting to Touma's house, they had locked the door to make sure no one would come in before Keisuke ushered Touma and Akinori to the bathroom. The two of them then decided that Touma should go first, so once he was done, Akinori went next, and Keisuke dried up Akinori's clothes as he did. After that, it was Keisuke's turn.

Touma and Akinori were currently waiting for Keisuke to finish his bath. The two of them were now completely warm and dry thanks to said guy. However, while they did feel grateful for his rescue, they couldn't help but feel a bit impatient. Keisuke, we are REALLY grateful that you saved us, but can you please hurry up? they thought in complete unison. 

Luckily, Keisuke showered fast, so he soon came out completely dry with his light blue sweater and pants on. He put his wet clothes in the laundry basket with Touma's own wet clothes before he turned to them, "All right, where's the GPS tracker, Touma?" 

"Here," Touma produced a piece of black cloth from his pocket. "I've already attached the other piece to myself, so you just have to stick this on Haruya using a magic attack." 

"All right then," Akinori grabbed the piece and kept it in his shirt. "Ready to go, Touma, Keisuke?" 

"Oh," Touma's face grew serious. 

"Let's get going," Keisuke nodded as he grabbed the dagger from the table. 

TING TONG! 

"Huh? Who's that?" Haruya blinked as he and Natsume looked up from their research of the last Yoseiken in her living room.

"I have no idea, Ruya, but I guess I'll have to check," Natsume stood up, feeling that since no one was in the house, she should go check.

"But, Hime, what if it's a Soranaki agent?" Haruya looked worried. 

Natsume smiled, "Don't worry. Soranaki wouldn't attack me here with you around." before she went out of the living room to the main door. 

She grabbed the doorknob, and opened the door. 

Only to freeze upon seeing 3 familiar faces. 

3 HATED faces, to be precise. 

She scowled, "What do you three want? Was altering my memories not enough for you?" 

"For the last time, Natsume, we didn't-" her relative cut off Arihoshi's words by suddenly grabbing her wrist and pulling her towards them. "Touma, NOW!" 

Tsukinami nodded before putting the Ogre watch on his wrist, "Possessions! Genma Yoshitsune! Lend me your power!" 

In a few minutes, he had become Yoshitsune, and he slung Natsume over his shoulder like nothing before the 3 of them sped off.

Natsume screamed, "HARUYA! HELP ME!" as she struggled, trying to kick Yoshitsune away from her. However, he was great at dodging her, because that was exactly what he did. 

"HIME!!!!" Shutendouji appeared out of nowhere in front of Yoshitsune and tried to fight him, only for Arihoshi to shoot an attack at him. He yelped as the attack hit him, going down to the ground for a while due to the pain. 

"All right, time for Phase Two, you guys!" her relative suddenly shouted as he took out an Ark from his pocket and inserted it into the watch, "Summoning! Come on out, my friend, Bourei Banchou!" 

Within seconds, her relative's first Youkai friend was towering over Shutendouji. 

"Bourei Banchou, keep him company please!" her relative ordered. Bourei Banchou nodded in response before he turned to face Shutendouji. 

Then, he looked at Arihoshi, "You know what to do, Akinori." 

"Oh," Arihoshi nodded, taking out Suzaku's Genjuu Disk. "Suzaku Disc! Descend! Genjuu Suzaku!" 

After a while, Suzaku appeared, "Suzaku, sanjou!"

"Come on!" Arihoshi got on Suzaku's back, and helped her relative on before Tsukinami reverted back and he got on with her in tow. She was about to fight back, but suddenly a dagger was placed to her throat.

She blinked, turning to see where it came from. 

She regretted doing that a few seconds later. 

Her relative, as if being possessed by a malicious Youkai, looked at her coldly, "Don't try anything with us, or else I will not hesitate to slice off your head." 

Natsume's eyes widen. In the entire life she had known her brother, she had never seen him so cold and dark before. His eyes were baggy and had shadows under them, with this dark flame glowing in his pupils. W-Why is he like this?...

Because of that, Natsume decided to stay quiet and be good for the while before Haruya came to save her. Her brother noticed, and nodded, "Good. Stay that way." 

"Suzaku, you know the plan!" Arihoshi shouted after seeing her brother's nod.

"Oh!" Suzaku nodded and took off into the skies. 

Tsukinami then took out his phone and looked at it for a while, "We've already gotten to 2 and a half meters!" 

"Good! Tell us when we get to 5.1 meters!" her brother shouted back. 

"You got it!" Tsukinami gave him the thumbs-up. Her brother grinned back in response. 

Natsume gave a start. They're not panicking?! I don't get it. Why are they not worrying at all?!

Then she froze. She recalled the moment when her brother had shouted out that it was time for Phase Two. 

He had been smiling victoriously. 

No way, they had planned everything out like this? 

"We're already at 4.5 meters!" Tsukinami called out. 

"Yosh, Akinori, get ready to separate the moment we get to 5.1!" 

"You got it, Keisuke!" 

Touma was nervous. He had been entrusted with the most important part of the mission (making sure that their distance with Shutendouji was exactly 5.1 meters) and he wasn't sure if he could do it, because precision was never his strong suit, to be honest. 

Just then, he felt Keisuke's hand place itself on his shoulder.

"Precision may not be your best suit, but I can't man the entire operation while keeping an eye on the distance," Keisuke reminded Touma. 

"But I'm worried that I'll miss the mark-" 

"Don't be. I believe in you, Touma," Keisuke smiled at him. "Worry is a double-edged sword. You can either develop from it or you can sink even more. It's your choice, Touma." 

Touma immediately brightened up hearing that, "Yeah, I suppose so. Thanks Keisuke. You always know what to say."

"No worries," Keisuke grinned back. 

Touma smiled back at him before he looked at the GPS. 

4.9 meters. 

5 meters. 

"Akinori, STOP!"
