*the clouds begins to rain,akira and the torashi are at the graveyard mourning the death of izo,as izo is being buried akira steps forward to place a red flower at the top of the gravestone*

"don't worry gramps...i'll be strong enough to avenge you."

*akira said as tears fall from his eyes,torashi then holds akiras shoulder and said "it's time to go." as they both walks away at the graveyard*

"kanji is probably waiting at the airport by now so why don't we just call for a taxi."

*torashi said as he grabs his wallet from his pocket checking if he had enough money for both of them to get a taxi*

"thanks torashi,but i think i can pay my own this time."

*akira said to torashi with a small smile in his face*

"hey come on men,this is the least i can do today."

*akira and torashi then heard a girl scream from inside a nearby apartment building that made them stop and think what is happening*

"do you think it's just a minor accident,akira?."

"i don't think so that scream sounds distress."

*akira and torashi then heads over the door of the apartment and they knock,they both stood there in silent as no one is answering the door they both became worried*

"stand back akira i'll kick the door open."

"what the hell do you mean?!."

"we can't just enter someones home just because they're not answering."

"what do you mean akira you said it yourself the scream sound distress that's one reason i should kick the door."

"damn it torashi *sigh* fine do it."

*torashi then nodded to akira as he kicks the door,after the door opens they saw a girl got stab in the chest with a knife by someone who is wearing a mask,as the girl falls torashi and akira tried to catch the murderer but the man in the mask jumsp through a window and runs*

"shit,akira we have to chase him...akira?."

*torashi then looks behind and saw akira on his knees crying*

"akira...hey akira what the hell is wrong with you? the murderer is getting away."

"if only i agreed to let you kick down the door much earlier she could've been save...this is all my fault."

*akira said as he tear up looking at the girls corpse*

"akira there's no time for this.damn it,i have to chase that guy now."

*torashi said as he goes to the window and follows the mask man,the mask man then throws a dagger at torashi but torashi easily avoids it by catching it mid air*

"you bastard."

*the mask man then climbs into a fence trying to avoid torashi,torashi then breaks the fence by kicking it*

"ah shit."

*the mask man then got stuck into a dead end*

"you got no where to run."

*torashi said as he run towards the mask man,the mask man tried to punch torashi but got kick to the chest dropping him down*

"do you realize what you just did?!."

"no..no wa-wait i can explain."

"you can explain in jail."

"no wait! i was just task by a man with a creepy look."

"what do you mean."

"i was task to kill someone and get there blood or else he'll kill me."

"what does the guy look like?."

"he's 6 foot tall he wears a purple coat he had long spiky hair and grey pants thats all i swear."

*torashi then was stun to realize that viper was the one who gave a task to this guy to murder someone*

"it's him again,hey why did he want you to get blood samples from random people?."

"i don't know...really i was just threaten."

meanwhile kaze and hana are at the library searching for a certain place.

"do you think that i should've go to izos funeral,kaze?."

"i know that it was sad for akira and he needed us to be there but i think that we made a good decision to search for this place."

"are you sure? i feel bad for akira."

"just think of it hana,if we find that mythical place that you are saying you may get your powers back and maybe akira would be happy to see that."

"are you sure he would be happy?."

"absolutely,by the way what is the name of the place that we are searching for?."

"the name of the place that we are looking for is the hidden sakura forest,the leader of our clan train there to master the art of the pink blossom."

"i see so if we go there you can train and get your art style back."

"yes but i don't think that the books here in the library will help,nothing here is the story of our clan."

"maybe it's in a back of the library stuck somewhere."

"wait...if i go back to my hometown i could find some answers."

"where is your hometown?."

"my village is located from a secret passage way from a waterfall."

"where is that?."

"just follow me,but it will take 2 days to get there so i understand if you don't wanna come."

"no i'll come i'm interested to learn your village."

"okay then let's go to the airport to wish akira and the others a best of luck."

meanwhile kanji is waiting at the airport getting pissed because akira and torashi are late.

(what the hell are those two doing)

*kanji then saw someone with a purple coat and thought that it was the man who killed his clan,without double thinking he followed the man with a purple coat*

(if this guy is the one i will not hesitate to kill him)

*kanji thought as his eyes are full with anger and his aura has an intent to kill*

"oh hello young man am i blocking the way that you are going?."

*the man in the purple coat looks back and kanji saw that it was a old man all along*

"oh thankyou."

(what am i thinking)

"i should head back to the airport maybe the two idiots are there."

*as kanji is going back to the airport the old man looks behind and thows a knife at kanji,kanji was caught off guard and got hit to the back*

"wha-what the hell?!."

"hitodama kanji forgive me but i have no choice."

*the old man then grabs a gun from his coat and shoots at kanji,kanji then avoids it by covering from a wall*

"who the hell are you."

*kanji ask as he pulls out the knife that is in his back and burns the wounds using his flame*

"i was sent by somebody to kill you."

*the old man said as he keeps shooting at kanji*

flame art:ignite

*kanji covered himself with blue fire protecting him for the gun shots*

"tsk damn those flames."

*kanji then dash at the old man at full speed punching him and knocking him to the ground*

*the security guard then points a gun at kanji*

"don't move!."

*kanji then puts his flame out and raise up his hands*

"relax im not the suspect here,it was this-."

*kanji then looks behind and saw that the old man and the knife is gone*

"what the-."

"to the ground now!."

back at from akira and torashi.

*the ambulance had come and gets the girls body while torashi is telling the cops what happen*

"the man with a purple coat...who are you?."

"hey akira are you okay?."

"yeah im fine now torashi."

"don't overthink what happened akira."

"how the hell can i not overthink what just happened."

"that is just fate akira."

*torashis phone starts ring,torashi then picks it up from his pocket and answers it*

"hello?...what?... okay okay we'll go."

*as the call ends torashi sigh from what he heard*

"what was that?."

"kanji is in jail."

"i don't fucking know,this has been a rough day."

back at hana and kaze.

*hana and kaze just arrive at the airport and is waiting for the others*

"do you think we're late?."

"maybe but remember that akira and torashi are at the funeral maybe they're just late."

"perhaps."

at the police station kanji is being held captive by the cops.

"i told you im not the one who shot a gun."

"save it."

*a cop enters the room*

"sir detective torashi is here."

"bring him in."

*torashi and akira then walks inside the room*

"detective kagami what is this about."

"sir kanji is one of the savior from the arena do really believe he would do something that stupid."

"he's the only one insight kagami there are no other suspects."

"can i ask what do you think he did."

"he shot a gun blindly to a wall."

"and where is this gun."

"we had it and were trying to find if there is fingerprints but for the meantime hitodama will be going to jail."

"excuse me to everyone but i have something to say."

*a man in a tuxedo said as he was suddenly inside the room*

(i didn't even sense him)

*kanji thought as he was shock to see that the man is inside the room without him knowing*

"who are you?."

"im one of the top 4 special unit from the government."

"my name is nao and i am here to say that you must let kanji hitodama go."

"who ordered you that?!."

"the top officers of the government did,so if you want to keep your job you must obey."

"understood."

"thank you...nao."

*torashi said to nao with a sound of relief*

"just doing my job,now why don't you go and find the last yanagi."

"what...how did you know-."

"oh don't worry about,just keep in my mind war is coming in 3 years."

meanwhile the old man that kanji fought earlier is at a abandoned laboratory in a forest.

"viper i got what you ask for."

"oh is that so?."

*the old man then hands over the knife that hits kanji to viper*

"good job."

"so about the money."

"yes i know."

"here it is,thankyou for your cooperation."

*viper then gives a suitcase to the old man with a smile,the old man then comes out the laboratory and a couple of seconds the suitcase explodes killing him*

"now then i guess that the other failed my task but that's okay this will help."

*viper then puts kanjis blood into the chamber of the black fluid, the blood and the black fluid then merge*

"i suppose that is the last human blood he needs."

*the black fluid then slowly grows a grey heart and a couple of seconds a body until it grows more looking like a human being*

"yes...yes! it's working!."

*the black fluid then turns into a complete man with grey skin and it started to open its eyes*

"it's time for you to accompany me."

*viper said as he lets out the man from the glass chamber*

"so...you...are my master?."

*the grey man said as he looks at viper*

"well yes but actually you can be my teammate."

"i...see."

"here put this on."

*viper gives the grey man a white t shirt,black jacket,and grey jeans*

"you look kinda familiar."

*viper said as he looks at the grey man and realise that he looks exactly like kanji hitodama*

"i see it all make sense why you look like him."

"vi...per."

"yeah what is it."

"what...is...my name?."

"oh right,ofcourse you need a name,let's see since you have the dna of 5 clans...i'll name you something related to those 5 clans i slaughter."

"what...is it?."

"your name is ELEMENT."

meanwhile at the airport.

"i think they're gone hana."

"*sigh* i guess so...wait kaze look."

*hana then saw akira,torashi and kanji walking to the airport*

"so this is it."

"yeah,let's go to VEGAS."
