After Ryu saved Miu from dying from a disease, he and his aunt and uncle Akito and Akane and Heath and Mizuki went to the home where they were currently living.
Ryu never got a chance to actually know more about Akane, only thing that he knew was that she is his uncles wife and how she looked was like the way his mom looked with beautiful brown hair, blue eyes that were like the ocean.
Akane looked at Ryu and could see that she's looking forward with raising Ryu, "My Uncle was lucky to have met a lovely woman like you but what did he do that make you love him, I mean my uncle has been known as a joker to my relatives but to me, I see him as brave man".
Akane blushed as Ryu gave her a compliment, she saw something that was different that only Ryu and Akane could see. "Well the thing is that, he didn't do anything that made me fall in love with her but it was what Akito was, he is just like you describe him, the man I married was the same man that I remember from back then".
"I was new to the city and many of the boys looked at me with flirty eyes, I felt uncomfortable. When I went to go to my desk, they'd whisper immature things about me".
Heath and Mizuki looked around the streets and had surprising looks in their eyes, they felt glad that Ryu's uncle let them live with him and his family but Ryu was more focused on what Aelita said about this big threat.
If this evil gave Ryu, Mizuki, Heath and Ryuji these powers then he has to be sure that his goal is a purpose. But what went on Ryu's mind was who was the 5th user and most importantly, are they safe?
Ryu went back away more on Aelita and thought about the orbs and realised that 5 were active but the sixth one hasn't been touched, he described it as having a fading image of what looked like a scale that showed, a flower that was healthy and a flower that was dead.
What did it mean? What is the name of this power? Knowing Ryuji, he wouldn't care about things like this and focus on things that really were important in his Point of View. Ryu looked around the big city and saw how much it was more busy than Ryu's original street.
Knowing how much has happened to him for the last two to three years with him being around 13 years old now. Ryu knew that he could not flinch, he remember how much his mom and dad would always see him as a brave man. Ryuji and Akira were people that he knew to care and also knew to protect them at all cost even if he's not older.
With so much that has happened, lots of things have been happening to and he remembers them but one thing he never forgot was his family, the one he had to abandon for the sake of survival and happiness for them.
Ryu never thought of himself as a good man, he always believed to be someone else but who is he then? Thats just a theory.
Ryu felt a bit worried for both Heath and Mizuki, with this great evil and all, it makes him wonder if he can battle this monster. All was going fine until a mass of dark energy cam to Ryu's way, "Move quick!!!!!!" but it was too late.
