"The Lizard ? What a strange name " Yashiro thought to himself, while he processed the information.
"But, tell me, why your sister told you, I was your hope ?" He looked at Yuji's eyes with a confused face.
Yuji was silent, he just finished cooking the meal, but with a look of helplessnes and with a sigh of relief, he began to spoke
"You see, as I said, people who can use Ki, are scarce...or better said, almost non-existent, the only people that I know that can use Ki, beside myself are a friend of mine, Rukia, my sister, but she is just a beginner, she doesn't know much...and the last person I know who can use it, it's that bastard...The Lizard..." Yuji clenched his fist, showing very deep emotions of hatred about that name.
"But, when Rukia told me about you, I thought there is a chance that...that you could help us, even a little help is good, I thought that, maybe with you, we can have a hope."
"I'm sorry..." Yashiro muttered this two heartbreaking words
"I have a problem of mine too, I can't help you, I need to get back to my place as soon I can" Yashiro looked at Yuji, while he bowed his head, in a sign of apologization.
"I can't help these two right now... even if I wanted to, I need to get back to my own world...I don't know what they want me to help them, or how powerful even that Lizard is, heck, if he is another Gold Fate I'm dead, not to mention this Yuji is far less powerful than my world counterpart...He is just a Bronze Fate... and because of that I need to...I need to become stronger and repay that bitc* double." Yashiro just stood thinking while Yuji looked at him.
"Your place?"
"Yes, it's complicated... my place, is this place... but mine..is not this atrocitus...
"
"Come to think of, why did I even ended up here? That God told me, he would ressurect me in my world...but this...it was maybe an accident,I hope...but I don't think so, a God can't be this clumsy...that bas*ard... i will repay you too ! Just you wait, you scumbag..trying to make my life harder I see..." Yashiro clenched his hand in fury...
"To think that b*tch killed me for no reason, and this scumbag God, just sent me here...I will repay the both of you, just you wait for me to get stronger !"
"So you are saying you are not from this world?" Yuji asked Yashiro, while he looked him into the eyes, while he was preparing to put the meals into plates.
"Exactly..."
"Well, there is a glimpse of hope for you too"
"Really ! " Yashiro jumped out of the chair, grabbing Yuji's shoulders..."
"Is that true ?!"
"Yes, it is...but only my friend can help you".
"Can you take me to your friend?" Yashiro asked , while his eyes flashed a bit of hope, he could finally return to his own world.
"Not so fast, you see, The Lizard caught my friend some days ago... and now he is a prisoner, I need to rescue him..."
"Wait, so you are telling me, you want me to help you rescue him ? "
"Exactly, this will be a deal that will benefit the both of us, you will get some information about getting back to your world, and I would have a better chance rescuing my friend."
"Damn it... I didn't want to get involved in this city anymore... if that Lizard is a Gold Fate, I'm most certainly dead...but if he isn't maybe we have a chance..."
"Tell me, do you know how powerful this Lizard is ? "
"He...he is powerful, I only clashed with him once, it was short...but I think he was twice as strong as me."
"I hit the jackpot...that means, that Lizard, has a chance to be just an Iron Fate, or even a 3*Charcoal Fate...if it comes to a clash, could have a chance to beat him, with my [Mega Punch]"
"Then, it's a deal" Yashiro said, while he moved his arm to make a handshake.
"Deal" Yuji said with a beautiful smile while they did the handshake.
After some time of waiting Yuji finished serving the meals, and he went waking up Rukia. Yashiro stood in the kitchen, look at the ceiling, thinking of ways to become stronger.
"I really need to become stronger...but first, I need to think what I want to do, to have more skills, or to be better at one, to be stronger in mind, luck or body..."
He opened the System and looked at the main screen for a few seconds
[Main Screen]
[Body] : 3*Bronze Fate (+)
[Mind] : 30 (+)
[Luck]: 11 (+)
Ki Regeneration : 1 per second.
"If I were to make Ki Regeneration bigger, I could spam [Mega Punch] as much as I like, hmm, that seems like a good thing to do, as I can increase it with mind, and [Ki Control], it easiest way to achieve something, so I guess I will do that."
He closed the system tab and looked at the plate in front of him...
"I didn't expect that Yuji could be this nice in this world...but why is he an asshole in mine...why would he even try to kill me in the first place..."
"Well, some questions sometimes don't have an answer, I shall wait and see..until then, I should focus on the present, and keep myself alive."
After a minute had passed, a young girl was descending from the old stairs, her black hair, which looked like a dark abyss, was a perfect combination with her red eyes, that showed innocence but at the same time, a powerful determination...a powerful will.
"Hello" The soft voice of the girl, showed her shyness...it seems she doesn't speak too often.
"Than..Thanks for saving me" Rukia said while she bowed down to Yashiro.
"It's not a problem, you don't need to bow " Even if Yashiro said that, he liked this feeling of admiration, he liked the feeling of being praised, for something he did right.
Rukia sat down in the chair, after a while, the atmosphere had gotten a little strange, since both of them didn't say a word until Yuji came back.
"Well, let's eat" Yuji said with a big smile on his face
"Thank you for the meal" Rukia and Yashiro said while they began eating.
Yuji was happy...sometimes...he just needed a family like this...
"Hey, Yashiro, since you are not from here, I don't suppose you have somewhere to stay, do you want to stay at us ? " Yuji asked while he took a bite of some bread.
Yashiro thought for some time and finally answered.
"Sure, but I can't pay with anything right now"
"You don't need to, the deal we made a little ago, is something I can't pay for, thanks again "
"The Deal?" Rukia asked with a surprised look
"Yes, we can have a chance of rescuing Amari "
"Really ?!" Rukia was stunned for a second...
"Then I was right, then we do have hope !" Rukia said with a smile... a beautiful smile.
"Yes, we do" Yuji chuckled while he hugged Rukia, and caressed her on the head..."
"When will we make our move?" Yashiro asked, he wanted to get out of this world as soon as he could.
"Tomorrow...that's why we need to get to sleep now, your bed is upstairs, in the room at the end of the hall, I already made your bed, so it won't be a problem"
"Thanks"
After they finished eating, Rukia and Yashiro, went to their bedroom's, while Yuji had remained down to close the cafe.
"I don't have time for sleep, Yashiro thought to himself, I need to get stronger...right of this moment !"
He sat in a cross legged position, he closed his eyes, clearing out his head, and begun meditating all of the night...
