The Doktor.

"Okay miss Gili. Focus on the light in front of you and concentrate!" Aura lectured in a firm tone. 

Gili nodded eagerly, as she did just that. She could feel the warm blue energy tickle at her fingertips. Her hand roamed over the boy hospitalized in bed in front of her as her finger touched his forehead gently.

"That's right. Keep it steady" Aura advised "Don't fight it. Let the energies show you want you need to see...".

"I... I see... I see a house. It is burning in the night" Gili mused "Two boys are running... from a creature...".

"That is good. You are on the right trail..." Aura said slowly as it was the guiding voice in all this chaos. "What else do you see my lady?".

"I... it is blurry. The creature is hunting them. The boys. It looks familiar..." Gili mused as pictures flashed through her mind "They are afraid and... no the youngest boy trips and... the creature is... it is horrible! They are getting swallowed...".

"My lady... Gili! Take a deep breath! Follow my voice and let's return back" Aura advised in a surprising tone.

She could feel hands on her shoulder, as Gili minutes later awoke, sweat dripping down her forehead. A glass with water was been held towards her, and Gili instantly grabbed it. She felt extremely thirsty.

"What happened? Did she find the cure for Hart?" another voice then said.

"Kite shut it. Let her calm down first" Aura sneered.

Gili groaned as her vision got better and he found herself in a comfortable chair beside the hospital bed and the comatose boy Kite and Aura wanted her to look into. Now she could also see the two people who was with her. Kite standing behind her, a meter or so apart, while Aura was standing in front of her, with a worried expression.

"I... I am... I am okay. I just... need more water" Gili replied slowly as she was holding the empty glass in front of them.

"Sure. Sure. You can have whatever you want... as long as you cure Hart" Kite replied instantly, as he grabbed the glass and rushed over to the sink a bit away from here. Water could be heard running a bit, before Kite did return, with a filled glass. Gili grabbed it and drank greedily from it.

"You went far. Maybe even too far" Aura then mused. "Watching from afar when watching someone's past is all good and fine, but when we begin to synchronize with our target it can be dangerous. Their memories can become yours and you can be swallowed. It is the same with the future. You cannot judge regardless what you see".

"I... I think I understand" Gili replied and nodded eagerly "I cannot take sides. I have to stay neutral when they want to show me something. I cannot fight it...".

"And ground yourself. Sure, this is not harmonics, and your powers are not that developed, but always have something that anchors you, so you can come back" Aura said slowly "I have my crystal ball. You need to find something like that".

"Declan is my anker" Gili replies right away "He brought me back last time".

"No that is different" Aura replied and sighed "To harmonics he is your opposite. Your lifeline. Ironically, in his presence, your spiritual power will fluctuate. Just like Harmonics will not work without him. You need an object that keeps you grounded Gili. You need to be independent. You need to be able to function without him too".

"Without him...?! But we promised we would always be together!" Gili uttered rather scared "You... you said he would come back from this mission".

"He will. But there will be other missions Gili" Aura replied and smiled a little sad smile "There will be a time when you have to face great danger without him by your side. That was the purpose for this exercise". '

"Wait! A lesson? I thought she was going to help my brother?!" Kite uttered rather pissed "Are you saying you cannot help him at all?".

"We already know what is wrong with him Kite" Aura replied and sighed "The high priestess didn't tell you, because we knew how you would react...".

"And what is that supposed to mean?!" Kite hissed angrily. "You lied to me?!".

"Your brother will not wake up, because how can he... when he has no soul" Gili said and bit her lip "That night, the creature that your father became... took it. Stored it or maybe even ate it... if you want your brother to wake up, you have to go to the underworld and kill your father. That was a journey they didn't want to send you on".


Around the same time.


"You are sure this is the right place?".

"Of course, I am. Can't you smell the stench in the air?".

"I can, but I was hoping I was imagining it".

"Why? Are you getting sentimental because you had to leave Her behind?".

"No. Quite the opposite. If he IS in fact the one who did this to my clan, I am not sure I can be rational about this. I am very furious Yuto!".

Yuto hummed at that, as they both were staring at the door to the lab of the Doktor. A place he never thought he would ever enter again. Especially not along with Declan Akaba of all people. That was a partnership he had never seen coming. However, it was appreciated, and needed. A lot in fact. Yuto had known right away the Doktor was a demon worshipper the moment he meets him that one day at the order. They had both known what each other were but were also having a silent agreement in not telling anyone. They didn't want to be discovered. Not that the Doktor hadn't been persistent in getting him to his lap to study up on him. Yuto however knew what that meant. He intended to bind him or control him in some way. If Declan's info was correct and the Sloth clan was involved, this was a matter for them, as demons, and them alone. The order should not meddle. After all, Yuto instantly knew the Doktor was the darkness Gili mentioned that had infiltrated the order. It couldn't be anyone else really. Yuto turned towards Declan with a little smile.

"Will you do the honor?" he then asked.

"You bet!" Declan hissed as he kicked in the door with a lot of power.

It opened of course and lead them into a dark room. Darkness was all around them, as the two boys walked in. Their eyes were on everything as they had to be careful. Who knew what was hiding in here? Then light hit and Yuto and Declan both had to cover their eyes for a sec. As they opened their eyes again, a grotesque sight meets them. Tubes filled with creatures, demons actually, were all around them.

"Galaxy eyes!" Declan then hissed as he looked at the demons in there. "Rise falcon! They are all here. The missing demons from the pride clan...".

His hands were clenched in anger and Yuto couldn't blame him. If this was any of his friends or brothers, he would already have attacked the tubes himself.

"Very astute, but then again, it would be rather offensive if a clan noble such as yourself, don't know the name of your subjects" A voice then suddenly said and out of the shadows, came an elderly man, dressed in a dark lap rope. He was smirking rather evilly as he greeted the two boys.

"Declan Akaba and Yuto Haouryu. I knew you two would visit my humble abode sooner or later" The man greeted with a mocking bow "After the high priest brought you Declan here, I knew it would only be a matter of time. So sorry to say that I don't have anything to give you. I forgot to buy any suitable snacks...".

"Cut the crap. We are not here for a friendly visit!" Yuto hissed "We are here to stop you dear Doktor before you turn the order into your own personal army. Knowing your so-called master Jean Michel roger, that is exactly what he wants. After all that man is too lazy of a coward to fight his own battles!".

"Ah so you already know hu? How our plans for the rebellion works and how we intend to use the exorcists to strike against your father Yuto. I am impressed" The Doktor said and chuckled darkly. He turned his attention to Declan "It does surprise me however that you Declan, son of Leo Akaba would go against your own father and even join with the humans. Talk about the shame you bring him...".

"He is the one bringing the pride clan shame!" Declan hissed "He sold out our own members in order to be part of this agreement. He makes me sick!". '

"He-he, teenagers! I told my master and lord Leo to keep a leach on you. Children can be so difficult in this age" The Doktor said and grinned again "No matter. I can easily make up for this, by remedy his errors. So sorry my lords, but you will not leave this chamber ever again. At least not by your free will!".

"I will see you try!" Declan hissed as he began changing into what looked like his fire form. Red and dark colored armor emerged around him, as the heat rose up quite a bit in the room. Declan had not been kidding when he said he was furious.

"Release the demons you have captured, and I might let you live".


"Oh, by my dear boy I already have" The Doktor suddenly said as he cackled evilly. "You are already mine!".

Before Yuto could say or do a thing a hexagram began glowing around them. They hadn't realized that they had been standing on this all this time. Chains began wrapping around their body instantly.

"No! NO!" Declan hissed fiercely as he fought the chains "This is nothing! I can easily break out of this. They are nothing compared to Gili's".

"Oh, your little contractor girl? Hmm she could easily be mine too. You have a celestial contract yes?" The Doktor said and were thoughtful for a while. Then his lips went up into a diabolic smile "If I torture her with excessive pain, I am sure she will reveal me your true name Declan".

"Don't you dare!" Declan hissed as he once again was fighting the chains.

"Ah, so it is true. This hexagram cannot bind us. Only hold us" Yuto said rather analytical "You don't have the skills to get us under your control. You need our true names for that". At that, the Doktor chuckled darkly.

"Yes, you are both exceptional demons. I would be a fool not to underestimate your strength" he then replied and flicked with his wrist. A small animal, not bigger than his little finger, rushed out from his sleeve "That said, I could also influence you with my sweet parasite children, made from my familiar, Parasite Queen".

A giant demonic insect monster appeared, that made Yuto almost gawk. But only almost. Insect creatures were just not his thing. However, familiars were usually coming from the Sloth clan. If they hadn't known Rodger was involved, they knew now.

"All it takes is for this little sweet creature to enter your brain, and Tada! Even the strongest demon will break to my will" the Doktor replied fiendishly "Care for a demonstration gentleman?". Declan hissed angrily.

"How many of the order members have you inflicted with this method?" he then asked, "You dare touch a hair on my Gili with that thing".

"Oh a few. Of course, not your friends my dear Yuto, but they might be in the future, now that you are out of the way. I did recently infest Kite Tenjo but for some weird reason, it doesn't work any longer".

"Oh, that is too bad" Yuto suddenly said and chuckled "You will never ever get a chance again". He turned his head towards Declan "When you can feel your limbs again, duck!".


Declan never managed to ask what Yuto meant by that, but suddenly he was free, holding his black sword, as he slashed through the air, and suddenly he could feel his limbs and were free from the chains. Declan remembered Yuto's warning as he managed to duck, just before a blast of pure energy flew past him and hit the Doktor.

"Ah I don't understand, Parasite Queen! Why are you... attacking me?!" The Doktor uttered rather shocked as everything suddenly changed around them. They were no longer captured in the hexagram, and for some weird reason the parasite queen was on their side? But wasn't she just at his side?

"Loyalty is a fractal thing Doc. Especially, between demon and master" Yuto lectured as he began walking over to the injured doctor. Blood was already show from the injury at his right shoulder. His blade was soon at his neck. "If we can, we will break free and kill the one binding us. It is the same with your parasite queen. I freed her months ago. The day we met for the first time. She recognized her true master. Me! and we came to an agreement. She pretended to be yours until the day I would return and slay you. You didn't really think I would waltz in here without a plan Doc. You insult me and the royal family!".

"But I... I was sure my queen was right behind me and where did all my parasites go? I don't understand it!" The Doktor uttered in pure disbelief.

"I am Yuto Haouryu. Son of the demon king and the holy mother herself. We all four hold special powers. Yuya can win over anyone with his entertainment style, although that power is not so refined. Like our mother can with Harmonics. Yugo is a tinker. He has her curiosity in everything from all three realms, and Yuri has the light she holds for all living. As for me, I can create illusions. The power that pollutes minds and sees things there are not there".

Declan's eyes widened in horror. That was rather terrifying to say the least. He never knew the royal family holds this kind of power. It made him gulp a little.

"Please have mercy. I will serve you for now on!" The Doktor begged.

"Yeah like I have any need for depraved man like you!" Yuto hissed as he stabbed the sword in the man's neck and let him bleed out on the floor. Just like that.

"Let's free your clan members, so we can get back to our loved ones" Yuto then stated which made Declan instantly nod. He didn't want to piss Yuto off more.


A,N: Well that was that chapter. Is it weird for me to say that Yuto scares me? That and he clearly didn't break a sweat in killing the doctor here. He also had hold back in his battle with Declan in the past. That is for sure. But what do you think about this chapter? Is Yuto in character? Please comment on what you think. As for the next chapter. Let's just say we have a family visit.
