Mikan awake from his unconsciousness, he remembers Hui Go and Lokian.
Blood spraying out from Megonor's neck cutting. The lifeless body without it head fells to the ground very close with Yoka who still has Mikan in his embraces.
Hui Go just arrived, alone. No sign of Gilink coming with him.
"Where is that Magician?" Lokian asks
"I killed him; he tries to escape, I lower my guard when I sense Jio's aura was missing, what was happening?" Hui Go joined everyone on the ground surrounding the headless Megonor.
"Mikan got hit by the poisonous dagger and Jio...he into that possessed modes again, I think he is overwhelmingly mad" Lokian and Hui Go swift their glance to Jio who still stand a bit farther.
"Jio....are you okay?" Yoka found the guy he asked just unmoved, the stare is on Mikan and his eyes still have those blue flames light
"..." no answers from Jio
"Hui Go... I don't think that's Jio" Lokian catching something off
"I know..." Hui Go is walking toward possessed Jio but didn't dare to touch him or aggressively moves near him, then Hui Go ask softly "Jio... can you hear me?"
Empty stare at Mikan, Jio change his gaze to Hui Go. When their eyes meet, Hui Go feels something familiar with this gaze and this aura, again.
But return to looking at Mikan.
"Uhukkk!" coughing hard spitting bloods from his mouth, a sign of Mikan awake from fainting.
Everyone's attention to this beautiful guy, the wound is pretty bad but the poison is worrisome
"Hey dude...how is your feeling? Don't move yet" Yoka hold him still
No difference with Jio, Mikan also showing strange expression on his face. Looking around, meeting everyone's eyes until that person who stares at him from distance...
Changing stares for almost ten seconds in silence, Mikan begin to shed tears sorrowfully while trying to reach out his hand to that person who is changing stares with him, Jio.
Like a magnet pulling the metallic materials, Jio walks and reaching out his hand to Mikan's.
Yoka is loosening his embraces of Mikan, curiosity arouse just by watching how strange Mikan and Jio act right now. Hui Go and Lokian have no choice but watching along the event in front of their eyes.
"Brother..." Mikan greets Jio's hand and cries aloud, so loud and painful.
The sound of Mikan crying is really shocking for Yoka who have stayed with all these years. Never once he heard Mikan crying this painfully, like when Seana died or when Uncle Ho pushed by Jio into the portal to the Real World.
This is the first time Yoka seeing Mikan this broken and what he just says? Brother? So he has brother? But that is Jio. Could it be that Identity who possesses Jio is Mikan brother?
Then both of them fainted as their fingers touching.
*****
Waking up in a humble but comfortable bed, Jio found himself is guarding by Hui Go beside the bed.
This place is their new hiding place.
"You awake? Feeling good?" Hui Go smiles, he helped Jio to sit even though no harm happened to Jio but Hui Go just feel like to help him.
"I'm good...how is Mikan?" Jio questions about Mikan
"Yoka and Lokian are taking care of him, Lokian found some medicine in the weapon storage left by Uncle Ho, after taking the medicine, his condition is gradually getting better" The guardian informing
"How many days was it already?" Jio removed the blanket, get ready to check on Mikan
"It's been two days"
"Two days?" Jio takes some time to calm his breathing, sleeping for two days is such unusual for Jio since he arrived here. Never even once he found the peace during his night here, but now he was sleeping for straight two days and it's feel refreshing.
"Yes two days... you want to see Mikan? Come on" Hui Go leading their way to the next room.
Knock Knock Knock...
Politely they knock before entering the room, Hui Go walks behind Jio so everyone can see Jio is awake and fine, well no harm happened to him before anyway just the appearances of his possessed state keep get everyone alarm. Nobody ever experienced that state or recognise the form he was into, it's a concern for everyone now.
"How is he?" Jio sit next to Lokian, and sighing at pale Mikan who haven't awake since the passed out.
"Gradually getting better...The wound recovery is going well too, but we can't reach out to talk with him yet" Lokian answers
Laying down in a simple white bed, cover by a soft white blanket. Mikan is breathing fine and steady, his long, straight eyelashes accordingly moves when his closed eyes moves softly like those who had a dream.
"Look like he had a dream down there..." Jio commented.
"We tried to call and talk to him when he showed that move but no response" Yoka staring at Mikan, watching his eyelids moves hoping for it to open. Then Yoka look up to Jio who sits across him...
"What is going on in you when that identity turning on in your body? I meant like; you must see something there right? Who do you see there? What's happened to you when you in that form?" A lot of questions come out from Yoka, asking with no offending tone but yes, he seems a little bit stressed after all the uncontrollable events kept happening and he started to feel stuffy by worrying about everyone.
Even Hui Go and Lokian can feel the tension in Yoka's tone now. Just in a second Yoka take back his words by saying apologize, he realised his questions just too much for Jio who spent not even longer than 5 months in the Trapped World.
"Sorry..." He says "I'll go have some rest at the next room, please keep checking on Mikan conditions" Yoka wanted to leave for some rest
"I feel him" before Yoka leaves, Jio calmly answers to the questions, his eyes wandering around the room as he pulls his best effort to remember what it felt like when he possesses.
"All dark in there... no thoughts, no light, no sound, just the emptiness around me...but for that recent ones, I felt an emotional feeling soaring from my heart...no...maybe not mine but his" Jio stops his eyes at Mikan, exhausting enough for his brain to recreate the feelings.
Yoka decided to stay in his seat.
"Why is it so quiet here?" a hoarse voice heard, it's Mikan's! He just awakes.
"Oh...Mikan, Thanks God you're awake..." Yoka holds his hand immediately showing relief.
"Of course I'm awake, I'm not going to die just because that weak poison," He smiles "How about you? You good?" Mikan asks this person who sat quietly, secretly feel relieved knowing Mikan is fine.
"I'm good no worry" Jio pulls an awkward smile on his face. Strangely, Jio feel odd relieved and happy to see Mikan back.
Mikan didn't move his eyes away from Jio for almost five seconds. Inside his heart, Mikan feel stuffy and emotional, but he can't tell these people about what in his mind now since mostly of his memories are back, he got to know what was he like in the past, which he met, who he helped and why he decided so.
"I'll go to cook some food, Lokian you can go back into the sword and have some rest, the longer you guys stay out with us, the bigger power you consuming from the swords which are coming from us, the owner " Yoka calls his sword for Lokian can go back
"Thank you" Lokian disappears into the thin blue foggy end up into the diamond in Yoka's sword handling.
"I'll go back too... call me if you need some help to cook" Hui Go also goes back into the sword.
Now, only three of them leaving in silent.
Yoka eventually get up and walking out from the room to the kitchen.
"Oi...! Where are you going?" Jio rise immediately from his seat
The awkwardness filled up this room.
Mikan knows how Jio must feeling right now, he is not that close with Mikan and they arguing all the time even since the first time they met. With the recent event, Mikan not sure what's in Jio's mind.
But Mikan need to ensure himself about that one form inside Jio.
"cook something for us, aren't you hungry? You've been sleeping for two days straight"
"I'll come with you, have a rest Mikan" He taps Mikan on the shoulder then rushing after Yoka
