( Internal point of view : Jack )

On the plane, Damian is quite ill. He is even whiter than usual and refuses to eat anything, he still manages to fall asleep after an hour of flight, when I find out about Japan, about the places where we could go, and above all find a hotel for us to rest, Damian needs a lot of rest, just like me.

I feel very tired.

The flight is very long and the passengers with us almost all sleep, those who are still awake are workers, tapping on their tablets or lap tops. Suddenly, I feel a small weight against my shoulder, I look next to me and see that it's Damian who has dropped against me, he continues to sleep peacefully. I have an irrepressible desire to take a picture of it, so I could redraw it and show its beauty through my drawings. I smile as I come and stroke his cheek before touching his forehead, he doesn't have a fever, that's reassuring.

Now you are safe Damian. You can sleep easy.

After many hours of flying, we are finally in Japan.

- Damian, wake up, we've arrived. I tell him, his gray eyes open slightly, he has regained color but seems very tired, he gets up from his seat to come and help me carry our luggage, once outside Damian takes a very big breath ofair true, it feels good to see him like that. We cross the airportthen we take the taxi that I ordered. He guides us to the hotel Ibooked, a simple and luxurious hotel at the same time, with a small shop next door, it's perfect, I quickly pay for our stay in the room and then I give the luggage to Damian.

- Damian, you can go up toour room, I have two or three things to take in store, take the opportunity to order us something to eat. I tell him, he gives me a surprised look before shrugging his shoulders, he takes our things then goes up to our room.

As for me, I go into the store to buy what is needed, and luckily there is what I'm looking for, we have to go unnoticed in Japan and with others, we have to become other people, maybe to be who we were before.

- It's the only solution, I don't like it but we have no choice. I stammer.

I end up going back up to the room where Damian is waiting for me, he is currently telephoning room service to order us something to eat, finally when he hangs up, he looks at me with a puzzled air.

- What did you buy that was so important ? He asks me intriguingly, I smile a little as I put down the items I bought, then I rub his hair.

- Very useful stuff, I don't think you will like it but I am afraid that we have no choice, we will have to give up our identity. I tell him, he looks up in surprise when he grabs the hair discoloration and hair accessories.

- You want us to bleach our hair ? You sure it's a good idea Jack ... My hair took on this blue color because of the arrangement, it's not like I dyed my hair, except the green stripe on my bangs, but ... you are probably right, and then I don't even dare to look myself in the face now. Go for the discoloration, I might get my original hair back. Will you help me out a bit ? He asks me, I smile, it reminds me of memories, from time to time I often combed Damian's hair, I have some qualities in terms of hairstyle.

So we leave for the bathroom, Damian locks himself in the shower while I stand in front of the sink to remove my makeup and use the small shower to wash my hair, at the same time my hair is a purple color much darker, it goes back to its original colors a few minutes later, and when my hair is really wet, I grab a pair of scissors and start cutting my hair very short until I give myself a more masculine haircut, I only keep along bang, I look at myself in the mirror with shame.

- They are beautiful your hair Jack... I hear in my ear, a horrible shiver crosses me while having the impression that Ziggurat is behind me, touching my hair with his fingers, I suddenly jump covering my eyes, leaving my cuthair fell to the bottom of the sink.

- Everything okay Jack ? Suddenly wonders Damian coming out of the shower with only a towel on him, his hair has turned a very dark bluish almost black like before, even the green stripe on his bangs is gone, as is his spiky hairstyle like that of HD academy, now his hair is falling down his neck, it makes him look a bit like a girl like that.

- Ah yes yes I'm fine, I have the impression of seeing someone else when I look at you. I answer him, he starts to blush when he comes to look at himself in the mirror.

- Whooo ... I preferred my color before, I feel like I'm already old with such a hair color. He complains, passing some of his locks between his fingers.

I especially see him looking at his scar, which is still a little blistered.

- You want me to cut your hair ? I propose, he shrugs his shoulders, I ask him to lean against the sink, and when I come to stick to him to start the cup, I feel him start to tremble all at once.

- Damian are you okay ? I ask him worried, I see his reflection in the mirror, his eyes are wide and his right eyebrow is quivering a lot, like when he's trying to hide his anger or when he's too stressed, it's a tell tale grinthat is indicative of his personality.

- Sorry Jack ... I'm a little too nervous, I prefer to sit down. He tells me, pulling away from me to get a chair in the hotel room, then he settles in front ofthe sink. His reaction shocked me ... Why did he react like that ?

When I cut his hair, we always did this way before, then his stress went down, so I started cutting his hair short enough to give him a good little boyish cutthat was quite thick at the back, and with his hair. bangs on the side.

- That's better, what do you think ? I ask him the question, he looks at himself for two minutes, touching his hair

- It changes, I do not even recognize myself. But thank you anyway, I don't feel like I look like the perfect little HD academy guinea pig anymore, or even a blue hedgehog. He answers me.

It's better than nothing. Damian was never very good at compliments, but here we are more incognito than ever, and for our last names, we took the names of young girls of our mothers, I kept mine given that my last name was never disclosed, and Damian took his mother's last name : Light.

- Well, maybe we shouldstart with a little visit of the place ... I propose when suddenly Ihear a small thud from Damian, he blushed immediately, covering his stomach.

- Sorry ... The trip on the plane completely emptied my stomach, I'm starving. He stammers, it's only a few minutes later that we come knocking on our door to bring us the order that Damian has requested. There are typical Japanese menus on the hotel menu, but Damian just had two large plates of ramen for the two of us and some frozen mochis for dessert.

- Whooo it smells super good, I have spices in there that will please me. I say with gusto, I even see big slices of ham with lots of small vegetables, when in Damian, he has nice pieces of chicken and noodles much thicker than mine.

- Can you eat with chopsticks ? Damian asks me as he starts his noodles, I'm having a little trouble so I try to follow his movement.

- It's hard, I much prefer to eat with a fork, but hey I should get there. I answer him by starting my ramen.

- Oh that's so good !!! I scream.

Damian just smiles.

( Internal point of view :Damian )

I watch Jack eat his noodles with a big smile, I always used to see him smiling but this is on a whole new level. The food is pretty good here, however ... Question of money, we don't have infinite resources, we won't be able to stay here forever, so instead of worrying I should just enjoy my last one travels with him before Ziggurat finds me ...

I would be grateful to him for life.

We finish eating our ramen then our frozen mochis, then we decide to go and visit the region, it's the first time I'm coming to Japan, I can't wait to find out what we can do here. Their blader DJ announces a new Beyblade tournament in the region, knowing the Japanese team, they will rush there to fight. What a bunch of morons.

- Damian !!! Shall we go shopping ? Jack wonders all exhilaration, I forgot that he tasted like little girls.

- Let's go if you want. I sigh as I accompany him to a very large shopping center, there are lots of people in big stuffed animal costumes, Jack grabs me by the arm to ask me to take a picture with a giant panda near the store toy.

- Jack ... Do I really have to ? I ask him a little embarrassed, I'm going to look silly.

Jack pushes me towards the giant panda who does a little dance to greet me. What sucks. I stand next to him to take the picture, Jack insisting that I smile, I do and once the picture is taken the giant panda grabs a small basket and he gives me two custard buns before going see the other children.

Make a fool of yourself in a photo but win two cream bread in compensation ... It's not bad.

Next stop, visit the clothing and shoe stores, but all the way I smelled like seaweed seeing rotten seafood following us all the way, it's terribly annoying. After our shopping is done, there is still that old smell.

- Hey Jack, you haven't smelled that smell for a while now, it's terrible. I tell him, he covers his nose with his jacket.

- It's clear, the smell is really unbreathable. Jack moaned.

- Little crab ... Little crab ... We hear behind me, we turn around to see a funny guy not very clean with long hair the color of seaweed, a torn jacket and clothes that are not atypical.

- Little crab ... It's the first time I've seen small crustaceans like you in the area, you're not from here I suppose ? He talks to us, just his behavior annoys me.

- Sorry, but it's none of your business, and why have you been following us for a while ? I answer him, he snaps his fingers like crab claws with a smile that makes me want to stick my fist in his face.

- Because you seemed suspicious to me about my little lobsters and I must admit that your friendship bothers me a little, I may be a great friend of Gingka, yours bothers me. He answers us.

- Are you Gingka's friend ? Jack asks him, Gingka has a really funny crowd.

- Yes he and I have a long history my little crustaceans, but you don't inspire me at all confidence, I should perhaps have reported your presence to Gingka... Before he finishes his sentence, I come here grabbing him by the head and banging him against a wall knocked him straight out.

- Ohhh my hand it stinks of seaweed, icky. Jack, do you have any gel in your business ? I ask him, he passes it to me so that I wash my hands, but looks at me with a shocked expression.

- You killed him ? He questions me when he comes to look at him.

- Of course not, I just knocked him out. He should not go cafter our presence at Gingka ... And he had a head to take slaps. I justify myself, Jack sighs and hurries me to leave the shopping centers quickly, we spent so much time there that it's already almost dark.

- We better get home. Jack suggests to me, I gladly agree to go home, I feel tired. Here we are back to the hotel with all our things, Jack is going to take a shower while I relax on my bed, I feel really tired. I don't even want to eat, I just want to sleep.

I'm coming to pick up my giant bear, and I'm going to fall asleep on it as fast as I woke up.

( Internal point of view : Jack )

I get out of the shower a few minutes later, and find Damian asleep on the bed with his big teddy bear. I can't help but want to take a picture of him like this. We still walked quite a bit today, normal that it's already exhausted.

Especially since it hasn't been so long since he left the hospital. I come and sit next to himto stroke his hair a little, he doesn't react much, he has already reached the fifth phase of deep sleep.

A real baby.

- Don't even worry, we'll manage to live here, I promise. I whisper to him before letting him sleep.

For my part, I take out my computer to go see the classifieds, I absolutely have to find alittle job to be able to enrich our bank accounts, we cannot rely so lely on the money our parents send us each month, nor even on thishotel, we will not be able to stay there indefinitely, and also ...Damian is not yet old enough to find a job, only I can provide for our needs.

You can count on me Damian to find us a little home.

( No point of view )

Meanwhile at the WBBA.

- Are you sure what you aresaying Tetsuya ? Ryo asks a little confused, seeing the big bump on Tetsuya's head, he has no idea that he was attacked.

- Crab words, I saw these two little foreign shrimps dragged in our neighborhoods and I thinkthat Gingka will recognize them greatly, they have an American accent. I think you know who I'm talking about ... Big crab.
