part 8

Akira looked at his house for one last moment before turning his back. He was all ready to step into the path where he would never think what might happen. Possibilities? He never gave a shit. The only thing which was running through his mind was 'revenge'. His teenage blood was stirring up the firy emotions within him like a volcano. He will do anything to take revenge for his parents,at this moment.

"Let's go",he mumbled before walking ahead of the newly found unexpected team. He threw his back pack over his shoulder and walked away.

Luca was frightened to death by now but he couldn't back away. He would never when his best friend needed him the most now.

Lewis was hesitating even at this point. He had so many chaos going on in his head. He hadn't even notified his parents about this trip of his and, he even wondered why he is helping. Oh,yes,he didn't want to be a beast and live like an animal. It's better to go along with the bastard of the King rather than spending the rest of his life as an animal. And also,

He looked back to see Izumi looking at her old house. Lewis shook his head and followed Luca and Akira.

Horus was silently standing next to Izumi with his hands clasped behind his back.

"...he is still a kid", she mumbled and gave a side glance at Horus who was staring at the destroyed house.

Horus was always respectful towards her until he heard her words just now. A sarcastic chuckle left from his thin lips. "You —Did I really hear it from you?"

Izumi's eyes twitched for a moment but said nothing.

Horus turned to her with a blank face. "He can handle it"

"By inserting revenge on that child's mind?", asked Izumi. A vein popped out from her forehead. "You know  what it might lead him to! Still you —!"

"IZUMI!",Akira's furious call halted their conversation. He was waiting for them with the other two. "What the hell are you two doing?"

Izumi gave a glance at Horua before muttering, "we are not done"

Izumi ran towards the human boys.

Horus sighed. "Of course, we are not",an inaudible whisper left from his lips before following the rest.

Luca clinged onto Izumi's side." That boy is dangerous. Don't be alone with him. We can't still trust him",he whispered not knowing that Horus could still hear what he is secretly whispering to her." Akira must have thought the same thing. That's why he sounded angry"

Izumi smiled ruffling his hair and said nothing.

Lewis cleared his throat gaining everyone's attention. "Where does Chimera live? "

Everyone halted on their steps and looked back to see Horus leaning against a tree. He radiated an aura of a bad boy but in a cute way."Chicago. Before going there,I think you all need a serious wash over. You look like a bunch of wild stray cats"

And that's when the four none human looking humans remembered to look at themselves. As the after-life judge said,they really looked like wild stray cats.

Sighing heavily, Horus looked at the flowing river next to them. A heavenly looking waterfall could be seen from afar. The water was pure enough to get a nice bath and it even had a unique way of flowing which allowed them to bath separately, hiding from one another since it was flowing in between massive trees.

"Just have a bath. I'll lend some cloths",Horus said like it was nothing.

Luca widened his eyes. He was about to speak when someone kicked him to the water.

"He said he'll give us cloths. So,shut up and bath,idiot",Lewis said with crossed arms. Not even a second passed, he was kicked into the water by Akira.

Akira didn't waste any time before jumping into the water.

Izumi sighed with a slight smile seeing the three boys fighting in the water. Luca was unfortunately entangled between Lewis and Akira and the poor thing could do nothing but get sandwiched between them.

She turned around and left for a little bit far to take her quick bath.

Horus just sat down under a tree and closed his eyes to have a rest. Yes,he wasn't human so his stamina was way too strong but that didn't mean he doesn't need a rest. It was already hard enough being an after-life judge at a young age and his body won't even grow. It's not like his body won't grow up. But it will surely take few millenniums of time period. He just hated his child like body because everywhere he goes,he'd be looked down. Even in universal court, he'd been looked down.

He snapped his fingers and few cloths appeared next to the tree which was near the river.

....

When the three boys were done,they came out of the river only to see few cloths on the ground,neatly folded. Akira had a pair of black pants with a large black hoodie with a leather jacket. Even shoes were new.

As for Luca,black pants with a green turtle neck shirt with a black leather jacket.

And lastly Lewis,he had a white large shirt with a pair of blue ripped jeans. And a brown leather jacket.

They really liked what Horus had brought or created or whatever. They didn't really care as long as they could wear cloths without paying.

Horus didn't stand up and waited till Izumi comes. He had prepared her cloths too. It would be a bit embarrassing to Izumi since Horus had given everything including the undergarments.

When Izumi appeared,the two lover boys couldn't help but to drool over the new look she got. She was wearing a red top with a pair of denim shorts. She had tucked her shirt under the short and had tightened the short around her waist with a black belt. She had a big over size white jacket and she had tightened it around her waist. Her black socks were reaching upto her mid thighs.

She was really cute in that dress.

Akira made a disgusted face seeing the other two boys gawking at his sister. He smacked their heads loudly. "Stop drooling. We need to leave"

Lewis was agitated receiving a smack from Akira. "YOU—!",but he couldn't do anything since he was caught red handed while checking out  Izumi. He looked away trying to hide his blush.

Luca was openly blushing without a shame.

"Why am I friends with you?", Akira mumbled looking at Luca who was still staring at Izumi with hearty eyes.

Izumi smiled brightly lightening the atmosphere. She ran her fingers through her wet damp hair. "Let's go, kiddos. We have to catch a train to Chicago!"

Horus finally stood up.

"Alright, from now on,it's your trip. I can't help you more than telling you where the other warriors live. I'm a bit busy. I'll contact Izumi if needed", he gave a look to Izumi. "I hope I won't have to come down again"

The three teenagers were flabbergasted hearing this.

"Hey! Don't you dare leave us hanging here after pushing us to this trap!", Lewis scowled.

Horus smiled slightly. "It's your duty,not mine. I'm completely out of this picture"

Akira,"How are we supposed to find the warriors without your help?! Chicago is a large city for you information. It's like searching a needle in a paddy field!"

Horus,"After-life judges are not supposed to help humans"

Luca,"You already had meddled in our business"

Horus couldn't help but to let out a loud sigh. He had enough works to do in the universal court and look where he is now. Fooliing around with a bunch of kids?

He looked around to find something. His eyes caught a small black rabbit, munching on some fresh grasses. Raising his index finger,he pulled the small animal up like magic. The rabbit floated on the air for two seconds before floating to Horus' palm. Horus brought the little one near his face and whispered something to its ear.

The other four kept staring at the rabbit warily.

"Here,this thing will lead you the way. Keep him safe with you all"

Flabbergasted, no one could say anything for a second. How could that little rabbit lead the way?! It's just an animal!

"Are you kidding me?! That's a rabbit!", Lewis said in pure disbelief.

"What's wrong with me being a rabbit, you ugly boy", a soft yet high pitch voice came out of no where.

Startled,everyone except Horus looked here and there to search for the voice.

"What was that?! A ghost?!", Luca was already freaking out.

"Are you dumb? Look at me boy! It's me!"

Luca felt like his soul leaving his body. Jumping behind Akira,he looked everywhere. "W –What was that?!"

Lewis furrowed his eyes and looked at the black rabbit. He pointed his finger to it. "Is that thing........talking?",His voice was laced with suspension.

"Took you a long time to understand, ugly boy",the rabbit replied.

Akira widened his eyes in amusement while Luca's blood ran cold.

"IT'S TALKING!! THAT RABBIT IS TALKING!IT'S TALKING AKIRA!"

Akira," I can see that Luca. Calm down. It's just a rabbit"

Horus smiled slightly before turning to Izumi who was quiet all the time. "Take him. He'll guide you"

Izumi nodded and took the rabbit to her hands. She had a wide smile when the rabbit cuddled on her palms. So cute!

"Aww,I like this lady so much"

Izumi giggled before nuzzling him. "You cute little thing"

Horus,"Okay then. The rest is up to you all. All the best",with that he disappeared into the thin air. It looks like he had teleported to the universal court.

Everyone was zoning out not knowing what to do next.

"What are you all waiting for?! Let's go!! To Chicago! ", The rabbit took them out from their daze.

"Okay then,Chicago, it is", Akira mumbled.
