As Ryu and Ryuji went back home after meeting Allistair Wizinskie, who Ryuji tells Ryu that it was actually his father, Ryu's reaction to meeting his father was...
He felt like an idiot and was about to go see him until he saw Allistair, he was flying, or better he was ascending to the skies.
He said goodbye as he said that he will be with Akira, Ryu couldn't do anything about it, he was already gone.
He felt sad but at the same time he felt happy that he got to see his father for the first time since forever.
As they were walking home, Ryuji then begged Ryu to arrive at his birthday party, he didn't seem to mind so he agreed and the next day, Ryuji's birthday came along.
Everyone got their best dresses on, as Ryu and the others were ready along with Yukiko and Miu who were fighting along the way.
As they got into the Hakuna's residence, Ryu felt a little nervous about going inside the Hakuna's home since he had left it since forever.
Hanzo then greeted them inside and the party looked elegant, Hanzo went to the front and asked Ryu to come along with him as he wanted to introduce himself.
"Ladies and Gentlemen, I hope you're enjoying the party because I would like to introduce to you my second grandson, Ryu Narukami.
Unlike his elder brother, Ryu is one of the finest people that you'll ever meet, please introduce yourself". Ryu didn't want to and bailed out right at that moment.
As Hanzo went looking for Ryu, he saw that he was with Akira and tried to get himself introduced, most of the guests laughed at what Ryu was wearing.
Moments later a group of people all introduced themselves and then bragged on about how much their business is very successful.
Ryu didn't seem to care and focused his time on Akira. Moments later Ryu was introduced to a familiar face, as he saw her.
And him seeing him, see smiled and tried to make his way to Ryu but he had disappeared as she came closer, she then went on looking for Ryu.
Ryu made his way outside where he saw Mizuki looked upset, as he came closer, she didn't seem to want to talk to Ryu. Ryu tried to talk to her but nothing.
Then ... "Is it about your brother Mizuki?" she then snapped and tried to kill him, "sorry, I just don't understand why he won't let me see him, I mean, does he hate me that much?"
Ryu then said, "No don't say that, I'll make a promise to you, that we will find him and when we do, we'll make sure that he sees how much you've grown over the past years.
So don't lose hope Mizuki". She then hugged him and then made a confession to him, "Actually it's not just that, you see I'm in love with .... with..... With Heath Takahashi!!!!"
Ryu then froze by what he had just heard, Mizuki was in love with Heath? Ryu didn't seem to put into thought of how much Heath was always there for her so that made sense.
As Ryu was about to say something, the girl that Ryu saved ran up to her and closed his eyes and asked, "guess who?" Mizuki was surprised by this.
"Sorry I don't know many people so I.... uh" he could feel the same sensation from her and he girl he had save, as she let go of him and twirled in front of him.
