And there’s the only wooden door with intresting shape, luring his eyes, he lean foward without having much thoughts, until he can hear a quite scream from the distance, caught his attention instead.

He try to walk foward, but each step he takes, he begin to hear some calling him, and whispers that slowly turn into flies buzzing on his ears, the sounds of screaming didn’t stop, after he open the door that right infront of him.

It only gets worst, the more random doors he open, everything surround him distorted into madness, reduce into nothingness, almost catching his feets.

He wakes up with loud gasp, sitting up, try to calm his heartbeat, he glance at Moon, who sleep next to him on the same bed.

Zashi failed to recall the memory of having her company at night, but he take his chance to leaving the house,

And ride his bicycle to Yukio’s house, try to call her from outside but she didn’t answer as expected

He give his multiple tries, only bringing him more despair and regret.

He decide to be alone in the beach, letting the breeze pushing him off, to make the night even colder,

The sight from the ocean, were almaot pitched black, and yet it doest bother him to say a bit longer.

Watching the tide hitting the shores, almost touching his foots, he can hear a gentle footsteps coming after him, but he didn’t turn around

Moon hairs blowing around by strong wind, looking over him from afar.

“I knew you will be here, I can join you here?…”

Zashi give his soft nod, waiting for Moon sitting next to him, just for him to continue his long silent without feeling lonely.

“I’m sorry for what’s happening back then I shouldn’t…”

Zashi hug both of his knees tightly, speaking in lazy monotone.

“It’s okay Moon it’s not your fault, is not like you planning all of that to happen, is just I should, I should run after her when she’s gone from my life, if I get a chance, and this is my second chance and I still fail to do it…”

Moon sit still, her eyes lingering over dark ocean.

“So do you think there will be third chance?”

Zashi chuckle softly, hearing that idea.

“That sounds another option that I still going to screw over.”

Moon close her eyes with a smile.

“I mean, you’re so upset about you missing your chance to get back to Yukio, perhaps you not the one that lose your chances but Yukio herself, she’s the one that keep running away from you, you can’t expect one person to keep relationship going.”

Moon give her thoughtful gaze on him.

“Yukio lost with her own words, she thought she’s the one that already moving on with you, but turns out she still have a heart on you.”

” Yeah and so am I.” He lean his head even lower.

Moon shake her head, but there no annoyance behind her expression.

“Do you think is worthy to go back to her?

, what if she repeat the same trouble that she give it to you?, another after another?, what if one day she decide to listen to her mother again?, and do you absolutely sure, the reason she came to you, is because she want to get back to you+ and not saying her last goodbye, a horrible one.., to make you hurt, but at the end, there is no word needed, you both already experienced that kind of life.”

Zashi doesn’t respond, focusing too much on listening the sounds of waves.

Moon give her gentle tap on his shoulder, rubbing it on the center.

“I’m sorry, I knke, I might not be the right person who supposed to talk about this, I’m just a stranger that you meet for twl days while Yukio…

Well she was your everything, I don’t really know much about love, I spending my whole life try to chasing my career and dreams without try to understand my own emotion, thinking how I can live my best life ”

Moon slowly lean her head agasint his shoulder.

“And that’s when I meet you, I found someone who can give me joy, someone that interesting to understand rather than someone try to predict and read me, unlike you, you like me, just the way I was, do you know how rare is that?

”

Zashi tilt his head to finally face her.” And I know you do, because you told me how much you struggle in your life, to seek just a little connection, I think fate wants us to meet with each other but maybe, more than that.”

Moon invade Zashi persona space with pure instinct, crashing onto his lips, totally caught him off guard, but he doesn’t try to push back, but try to understand her action.

Ahw softly break the kiss with cute kaugh

“I’m sorry I didn’t mean to.”

“No is okay, is okay, thanks for being here, you make things easy for me, at least you making me feels like I’m not completely lost everything, I’m glad that I found you Moon.” Zashi respond with honest smile.

“Fate made us meet each other Zashi, you need to thanks to that.”

Moon says gracefully, love the way they open up back and forth.

“Well I don’t see any girl that looks like my fate, that I can thank with, beside you, Moon.”

Moon smile widely from Zashi sweet wording making her decide to stand up and get his legs soak by ocean tide.

“Moon where are you going?” Zashi ask from behind, as Moon continues to walk further away and turn back with gentle gaze

“This place looks fimmiliar isn’t it?, this is the place where it all started, the love, the happiness to you have spent with her.”

Zashi eyes flashing out with the memories when he’s been into the first beach along with Yukio watching the sunset.

“All the good memories and bad you have with her, is now going to be taken away, by the waves.”

Zashi gasping after his visions of memories he had with Yukio slowly break into broken pixel like a TV statics, completely erasing all the memories.

“What?, what did you just do?”

Moon ignore his question, stay thoroughly with her character.

“But there still one thing that missing right here, and that us the light.”

The ocean tide suddenly getting higher, brushing over him

Moon reach her hands in the air directly on the moon, making it super bright that lit up the whole beach like beacon of love and the new start.

Her body slowly levitating in the air making Zashi no longer can be more suprise.

He mesmerized the way Moon float flawlessly, and her hair flowing and hang on the other side, giving him alluring smile.

“Moon, did you just make that moon…, who are you?”

He ask with the moonlight reflecting his eyes.

“I am your moon, Zashi, your light, your companion, your guidence when you facing your darkest day, but I also can be everything you want…, all you need to do is open your heart for me.”

Zashi take a step futher until there’s no space between them,

“Love me…” she whisper, before Zashi kiss her, passionately, try to express his odd feelings that growing inside his heart.

Moon return the same pleasure, holding him closer, soon Zashi’s feets slowly leaving the ground, join her in the air. The source of this chapter is g.com.

Thier body entwined with each other, causing their body to glow at blissful night.

The intimacy between them become more personal, causing their floating body to turn upside down from the ground with slow rotation,

But it didn’t bother any of them, as the person they holding becomes their new gravity.

Somewhere on big factory facility at night.

there’s three agents walking with intense gaze

Their leader ‘Toshiro’ tall guy with brown hair walking with confidence.

And the young woman ‘Nicole’ with short silver bob hair, with the most intense stare.

And young handsome looking, Hispanic guy ‘Juan’ with brown messy hair, already hold his pistol, ready to jump on action.

The sounds of gun shot can be hear from far away

“They sense us everyone stay put.”

And suddenly a dead body start being thrown, land infront of them, Garuchi emerge from the red mist,

Roaming the room with his empty stare, and soon a swarm of months roaming around blocking any entrence for the agents to escape.

Miyomi announce herself with crazy laughter.

“Perfect I thought our fun is almost over tonight, after I demolished countless of this pointless nobody, and you three seems looks like a real agent.”

Garuchi keep his distance politely as possible

“Your bravery among you, totally will be appreciated, if you smart enough to walk away, and maybe you can meet us again, with more preparation,”

Toshuro smirk crossing his arms together.

“No thanks, talking about preparation, as you think I didn’t know that weird seed, can actually make you stronger, the more you collected it, so I’m not respect your kind offer.

Garuchi maintain his calmness, his eyes is already target his first prey.

“You think by killing two of us is already enough to stop what is coming, things that I and the rest of my team has built this whole months?.

Toshiro smirk, holding his own hips with confidence.

“No of course not, i just think it’ll be a good starter consider how many agents you have killed, just to succeed your dirty work.”

Toshiro words makes Garuchi slightly annoy.

“Is that right?

and Supernatural Agency only send three peoples to keep up with us?”

“Oh, don’t take this personally, but you two are nothing special, compare to what I have been face before.

Toshiro start to draw his double blade sword, with strange dark aura coming out from it as many red eyes start to appear behind him

While Nicole use hee finger gesture to active her flowers shape like energy.

Juan proceeded reloading his gun with fast pace, and close the magazine with soft click, but what he saw after that, get on his nerve when Garuchi give him the death stare.

“I think we should kill the weakest one first.”

With the fast swift Garuchi is already gone through the air, he ready to deliver his strike with his pointy claws.

Unaware of hidden pistol on his left waist, fire directly to his stomach sending him back to where he standing l, Garuchi is already on his knees, coughing out of blood, making Miyomi concern.

“Hey, Garuchi are you alright, don’t tell me a bullet can make you hurt like this?”

Garuchi wile the stain of blood from the corner of his mouth.

“It’s not just a normal bullet, is long range ammo designed to get through Hybrid skin, and delay their regeneration, it’s not as deadly as the other special bullet,”

Garuchi slowly find his away to standing again, and regain his composure.

“But it still definitely the one that you have to avoid.”

Toshiro smirk looking over Garuchi situation.

“In other words, that’s the sign you two should giving up.”

Garuchi stand still, his numb face remain unchanged.

“Yes, right after you can read this sign as well.”

He begin throw countless of scarlets root at them causing them to split, only left Toshiro to stay and slicing it with his double blade sword.

“Hybrid like you , just cannot stop throw the same attack can you?”

Garuchi barely making any expressions while being restrain by shadow creatures with many eyes, biting his limbs on everywhere.

“Why I can’t move my arm?”

Garuchi eyes immediately capture Juan sitting on above platform, he manage to send just enough roots to keep Juan busy at the moment, and jump just in time, to avoid Toshiro impact.

Garuchi draw his own sword that covers in scarlet blood, each time his sword clash to another, the drop of the bloods left the mark on Toshiro skin making his body slowly weaker.

The situation is getting intense when Nicole was preparing for swarm attack by Miyomi, one thing she notice the swarm begin to seprete into groups making her unable to attack them all at once.

But that doesn’t stop her to use different technique, to send bunch of lilies with single throw that can create explosion once it’s being hit by something.

And with the flick of the second, a gaint root looking chomper appear and swallow them whole with one bite

Juab eyes almost can’t belive what he saw, the only thing that survive was Toshiba blade spin on the air and land closer to him.

His breath was shaky, and scared, unable to make any decision or thought.

He tilt his head up, and saw Nicole’s life in danger as Miyomi Lena closer with hier blade.

Nicole was umable to move, only her hand try to reach for him form afar.

“Juan.”

At that moment, Juan left with no choice, but find his way to stand up from the ground and pick Toshiro double bladed sword, to save his colleague that he just meet not too long ago.
