And in the end he actually did, he manages to go back in time and change the future, turning the already dangerous future even more deadlier than before, until somehow the few people who's survive before the change in time manage to fixed almost everything back to what it's used to be, only few who actually know what happened, but it's still unknown to the public world till this day...

"So..."

One of the three individual speak up after ten minutes of stories that has been dump to him and his fellow companion who's apparently it's the one that's save his life. He glance at her for time to time since he wake up.

"It's this story have anything to do with FEAR ?" Ake ask the old man.

"Indeed, there is a connection between FEAR and The Demola..." The old man turned around and grabbed one of the photo on the wall before he passed it to Ake.

Ake look at the photo with curiosity, and his eyes are widen slightly when he see people in the photo

The photo consist of the old man in the middle, a beautiful young girl in yukata with a long black hair on the left, another blue hair girl in ponytail who's wearing some kind of uniform standing in the right, beside her is a young man in black coat and In front of him are the black hair girl in blue dress, everyone in the photo spot a smile on most of them, but what intrigued him the most it's the young man in the black coat, who have striking similarities to him the most, the face, the hair or even the eye.

"That's the photo i took twenty four years ago, back when Ake Demola it's in charge of The Demola, and that's him in the photo " The old man said.

Ake is still looking at the person in the photo who has the same name and face as him.

"So, color me surprised when someone brought the person who looks axactly the same as the one i met before years ago to my house, injured no less." He said.

Ake look away from the photo and look at the old man with confusion.

"But I never met you before." Ake said

"Of course, even though you look almost identical to him, your power does not." he replied.

"May I asked you name?" Ake question him with a calm tone.

"My name is Hattori Hanzo. I am the descendent of the famous Ninja of the Sengoku era."

both Ake and Fuuko were astonishing. Not in their entire life would think of encounter such a significant person.

"I live in Tatsumi for a long time now, along with my disciple, a black hair girl in yukata that you saw on the photo."

Hattori explain to the two of them.

"...How can I know you not lying?" Ake

Question the old man with a narrow eyes, Hattori seems unfazed.

"Well, if it was twenty years ago, i would like to show you, but my body doesn't function well like before, but I assure you that The Demola can confirm for you." He replied to them, not bother by the look that Ake giving him.

Ake slowly closes his eyes before putting the photo on the wooden bar.

"...then, what gonna happen to us now?" Ake asked.

"Well...if it's the same as many witnesses that I have encountered before, i would have to report to The Demola and the two of you have to go through some procedure to have your knowledge about FEAR wiped out."

The two of them flinched at his word, the idea of having their own memories wiped out it's something that's not sit quite well with them.

"But..." The sudden interruption from Hanzo make the two of them focus to him once again

"Right now, my disciple are not here anymore and I'm not fit enough to combat either, would you interest in helping me."

Ake contemplating his choice carefully, while Fuuko seem hesitant.

She look at Ake once again and try to get his attention.

"... of course I have to inform The Demola about it, to get their approval, i can't just go around and put some random kids to a dangerous mission."

Ake let out a long single breath before looking at Hattori

"Alright...i will help you Hattori-san...in exchange, you have to tell me all about 'Ake Demola' "

Hattori stay quiet for a second before smiling back at Ake.

"Alright young man, we have a deal!"

After agreed with Ake, Hattori walk back to room behind him without anymore words, leaving Ake and Fuuko behind.

The two of them sit in awkward silence, the only sound in the room it's a clock ticking.

"Why?..."  Fuuko speak up.

"...Huh?" Ake confused about the question.

"Why are you agreed to it? It's obvious that it is not going to be easy, involved with Power Users." She seem genuinely concern.

Ake look quite surprised at her question, he didn't expect her to feel concern for him at all, even though she the one who saved him, he only think that such action it's only natural, to help someone in need, no need to feel some sort of attachment or something.

"...I just trying to figure out something, to tell you the truth, i didn't really know about myself since birth. So this is a great opportunity for me...." He said to her.

"...and thank you.... for saving my life, at least after this you will not have to be involved in this mess, you will go back to your normal life..." Before Ake continue to speak any further, a voice interrupt him.

"No."

Ake suddenly turn back to her, his face are full of surprised.

"... I don't really have anyone to go back to...and i don't really like to have my own memories be trampled with, if i have to fight those monster to keep my memories, so be it." She said with determination.

Ake sitting in silence not knowing to do with the situation, he doesn't understand why she wants to put herself in a dangerous predicament.

"But...why? I don't understand, why would you risks your entire life, it's not like there are going to erase all of your memory, there are just gonna make you forget about FEAR and that's it." Ake trying to reason with her.

She is hesitant for a bit, trying to avert her eyes from him, even though he doesn't see it, there are a faint shade of red across her cheeks.

" ...if my memories are gone, then i would forget about you ,too" she said timidly.

"...Ohh.." Ake let what she said to him sinking in, he slowly but surely came to the conclusion of it.

There's an air of awkwardness between the two right now, they can't even look at each other's faces right now, the silence continues until Ake decides to break the silence.

"So..umm...my name is Amesoko Ake, nice to meet you" Ake is trying to introduce himself to her and bow a little.

Fuuko who just realized that the two of them haven't known each other properly yet, decided to follow suit, all the while feeling less awkward now.

"Oh! Uhh...my name is Sarada Fuuko, nice to meet you, too"

The two of them, after introducing each other, are now able to look at each other with more confidence, not realizing how much their relationship will go in which direction, only time will tell....
