***Takemichi's Pov***

" Yo Michi-chan, Maxe, Macey!" The twins and I turned to face the owner of the voice, who's waving at us with a smile. Macey and I returned the gesture, except for Maxe who just did a light wave.

" Taku-chan! Good morning, Sorry if we woke you up so early in the morning. Blame it on Macey as he was the one who requested it."

" Rude, I said that it'll be worth it."

" I remembered the last time you said that 2 years ago when we were at a bay," Taku-chan said making us glare at Macey.

" Ok, Ok, Chill ya undies peeps." He surrendered while sweat dropped in fear.

" How's the check-up, by the way, Homeboy?" Asked Macey, obviously changing the subject.

"It's fine, just as long as I don't overwork myself. Plus, I have my medicine with me." Answered Taku-chan while bringing out a duffle bag and inside of it are his prescriptions.

" That's good. If ye ever feel tired, I'll gladly carry you." With a smile, Macey gave for his suggestion.

" That would be appreciated, Thanks."

" No problem lad. Anyways, Let's go, folks!" Exclaimed Macey in joy while dragging us since he'll lead the way.

—————

" Woah!" Taku-chan and I exclaimed making Macey snicker.

" See~! Told y'all it would be worth it." He continued to smirk as we followed him climbing up a tree. Macey led us inside a treehouse and that's not all... Once he opened the doors, we were baffled and amazed.

" Woah, Did you and Maxe think of it?" I asked, inspecting everything inside.

" Yeup! Dad hired some workers to make things smooth as this would be our hangout!"

All of us sat down, each of us sitting on a bean bag. Maxe then opened a secret door beside her and brought out a mini-fridge that has a full set of snacks. She tossed the snacks one by one before hiding them again.

This is a new memory, Maxe and Macey never made a treehouse. I wonder if something happened if anything... their stay didn't last long and went back to Ireland only to never come back. I waited hopelessly for their return like that time with Kaku-chan.

" So are you guys going back to Ireland?" I suddenly blurted out and was given weird looks from them.

" What do you mean? Do you not like us here?" Guilt filled me that I wanted to punch myself for my rudeness when Macey frowned.

" N- no! No! It's just that... You k-know, Uh! I'm just a- curious! That's all! N- No ha—" Suddenly, Macey started laughing like a maniac.

" Lol! Yer too funny Sapphire, Hahahahah!..." He continued to laugh as I looked away in embarrassment.

' This fucking teasing prick!'

I grabbed a pillow and threw it at him but to my disappointment, he dodge it still laughing. God, I hope you choke on your laughter!

" You're insufferable!" Maxe tossed me a pillow as I grabbed it. With a weapon in my hand, I immediately approached Macey and started to hit him. He gave off a playful scream till Taku-chan got involved.

" Say, Uncle!" He ordered playfully while hitting him continuously.

" Never!"

" Take this then!" Maxe tossed to me another pillow as I use it to double attack him. Macey squealed, even more, when Taku-chan was tossed another pillow.

" Hey! Stop! Ahahahaah!"

" Say, Uncle!" Both Taku-chan and I exclaimed.

" Nevah! Over meh le dead body!"

" Alrighty then..." We look at Maxe for help as she just shrugged then approached us. She then grabbed a pillow and placed it on his stomach. We were curious at first but suddenly went to shock as Maxe just sat on her twin's gut.

" Aaaah! Sis! Get off!" Macey tried to pry her off but to no avail as she pressed even harder causing her twin to cough.

" Uncle! Uncle!" He finally exclaimed then while Maxe left, giving us both a thumbs up before walking to her bean bag.

" *cough* Man, I felt like dying!" He coughed out as we both said our sorry.

" It's fine... Let's do another fun activity!" Macey exclaimed as he finally recovered from the pain... that quickly?!

—————

" See you later Taku-chan..." We bid our farewells at Taku-chan who's already leaving as it was already nighttime. The three of us were supposed to head home but we needed to buy some drinks, only to hear the fire truck driving past us. I simply looked at it and triggered the foresight vision.

The vision showed Inui and Koko hugging each other and behind them is a house on fire. The next scene showed Koko and Inui at the hospital, it was only silence in between them till it showed another scene it's the time where Koko started working for illegal money and Inui staying in bed with a scar on his face. Another big flash appeared and showed someone on the bed covered in bandages.

The scene ends when I had a migraine from recalling certain memories of each timeline.

" My late sister, Akane... She died by the fire..." Inui's voice rang and memory of us chilling on their secret hanging spot.

" My only obsession is money..." Then Koko's,

" Why? Is there a reason, you could tell me Koko and I'll understand..."

" It's because of her..."

" Koko had a crush on my sister, despite their age gap for only 5 years..."

" Inui?!"

" Ahahaah! Aww~ Koko~!" I remembered teasing Koko for that info. So bad that he was going to kill Inui and I.

Putting those dots together, I immediately realized what the vision gave.

" So this where Koko and Inui's dark roots appeared... It's because of Akane's death and if that is the case then..." I suddenly saw smoke in the night sky.

Without waiting for the twins, I immediately bolt out of the store and follow where the fire truck's going.

Finally arrived at the destination and saw the Seishu's residence on fire, without thinking I bolted inside despite the adults screaming for me to stop in concerned voices. Ignoring those, I searched everywhere while dodging burning woods and collapsing walls and floors. For some reason, my gut was telling me to go upstairs and so I did with no hesitation. As soon as I arrived upstairs, I saw Inui and Akane stuck in a room — presumably her room.

I was about to approach them when a floor collapse and was about to fall, luckily I was able to jump safely and started to dash for their help.

***Akane's Pov***

I held unto my little brother close to me with fire and burnt wood surrounding us. Inui was trembling as he got hit by the flames, while I reassured him that things will be fine and that the fire department will save us. The roof of the house started collapsing and before my eyes, it was falling unto us. Acting swiftly, I shielded my brother using my body.

Suddenly, I didn't feel anything but something wet hit my cheek. Looking up to see us covered in a jacket by a person or a female child?! She was grunting a little and was able to push off the collapsed roof. I was completely amazed at how adorable she looked, especially those eyes of a hero. The unknown hero looked at us in worry while asking us if we're fine, I was about to answer when Inui and I started coughing as smoke and fire grew larger and hotter.

The girl then gave us the wet jacket and told us to use it to cover our nose and mouth. I was going to ask what she'll use to cover up too but instead, she ignored it and dragged us out of the house. Most of the floors completely collapsed and the girl was coughing vigorously, Inui kept telling her to use the jacket but she kept being stubborn on getting us out. We were almost at the door when each ceiling started to collapse, even more, she told us to run and so we did.

We were running as fast as we could when a small part of the floor collapsed, I tripped down and could feel the pain in my right ankle. Inui was out but the unknown girl took notice of this then approached me, she then carried me by connecting our shoulders. We were almost out when we noticed the ceiling collapsing unto us. And what the unknown did was shocking, she let go of me then pushed me out of the door as I'm free. Although that didn't matter as worried filled me and kept shouting for the girl. The firemen and paramedics arrived for my aid, though I kept trashing just to try and save her.

One of them immediately took action as he grabbed an axe and started to chop down the burnt woods. My worries didn't stop till I could see the girl, Inui felt the same as he stayed beside me. Kokonoi arrived and saw us both, immediately approaching us to ask what happened. We didn't answer, instead kept our eyes on our burning house.

The guilt and worry grew strong each second, Inui was already crying as I too felt the same.

That's when the fireman arrived and to our relief, the girl was saved but unconscious in the man's hand. The paramedics quickly went to her aid, they did CPR as they said that she wasn't breathing due to the intoxication of the smoke in her lungs. We watched then came across two people who approached the girl, one was panicking while the other stayed quiet but it was evident that she was worried also. They joined the paramedics as they brought her in the ambulance car. They must be either a relative or a close friend.

" What happened? And who was that girl?" Kokonoi finally asked. I looked at him then at an ambulance car going further away from our site.

" A saviour..." Soon after, I felt the tears coming out again.

***Takemichi's Pov***

' Ah! My body hurts and my head hurts!' I slowly opened my eyes to see white surrounding the area.

'Is this heaven?...'

* Beep!*

' Nope! And I already know where I am...' Readjusting my eyes to find myself in a hospital, why am I not surprised?

" You're awake Takemichi..." Uh-oh, Looks like I'm in trouble now. Facing my fears, I turned to see Maxe leaning against the wall with her arms crossed while her twin was nowhere to be found.

" Macey went to buy snacks and I'd love, for you to give me an explanation on why I shouldn't give you a black eye for being too stubborn as always?" I shivered at the cold atmosphere she's giving off right now.

" Well you see, I kinda saw the fire and had a conclusion that someone needs help... so I stepped in, Eheh..." I explained while completely laughing it off, like it's no big deal. Maxe didn't say anything much but just looked at me in the eyes, staring right into my soul.

" I'm back!" Thank God for Macey! Who came back with food in his hands.

" Also, you're at our private medic in our house. You did say that your identity should be covered." said the bubbly twin as he gave me a pizza roll.

" Thanks, guys, really appreciate your help." I smiled then took a bite to enjoy the food. My looked at my body and found my right foot had bandages.

" Your foot got some burns. It will heal but that would leave a scar..." Maxe explained that I just gave a nod.

' Well, At least Inui, Sanzu, Pah-chin, Draken-kun, Kaku-chan, Hakkai and I could have something in common... We got scars and should be called the scar gang! Lol...' of course there are others who got scar bit they're the closest I could think of.

*Ring! Ring!

" Ah... That's me!" Macey exclaimed as he exited the room.

A few seconds later, Macey called Maxe as it was their dad.

I was looking at them when the foresight vision appeared again.

The vision showed the twins walking out of the airplane and their father waiting for them at the front. They were having a good reunion greeting when the sound of gunshots was in place, scaring off the crowd. Security appeared and it shows their father holding his now-dead children in his arms. He screamed in pain for his loss and was miserable, leading to his death by committing suicide.

I feel like gagging after witnessing a new problem.

' So this was the reason on why they never came back... They were at the afterlife...' My fist clenched in anger as I wanted to know who did it.

" Whoever the fuck you are, I am going to give you Karma ten times worse..."

***Akane's Pov***

Inui, Kokonoi and I were visiting the hospital with flowers and treats as thanks to our saviour. We got to the receptionist and asked for her.

" Hmm, Did you learn her name?"

" I'm sorry, I didn't but I could describe her." The receptionist gave a nod.

" Well...she had black short and wavy hair, almost the same height as my little brother..." I pointed at my brother, who's holding a flower vase, with a scowl as it felt like he's being called short.

" And also got the purest and clearest blue eyes..." The receptionist gave a nod while typing on her computer.

" I'm sorry but it seems the person you described isn't here." She said making our shock.

" What do you mean?" I asked.

" Well, someone seemed to have gotten her and sent her to another hospital by a close friend of hers. Apologies also, as I forgot that we can't give out her identity or anything for that matter. If you need something, just tell me and I'll send it to them." I was disappointed and so were the two but gave out a nod, respecting someone's decision.

' They're probably overprotective of her, and seeing her hurt probably got them to disclose everything about her...'

" Thank you. Here is the stuff that we're supposed to be giving in-person, do tell her our thanks." She gave out a nod then took the gifts. We left the building when I felt a tug on my shirt, looking down to see Inui with a frown.

" Will we ever see her again?" Kokonoi was beside him and I could tell that he too was curious.

" Don't worry, we will hope that our saviour shall appear someday just take patience." They both gave a smile as it was evident that they were excited, especially Inui.

' Hope to see you again, Saviour..."

***End Of Chapter***
