"They try to do with her what once happened to me. They want to turn her into a grim reaper."
"What? I heard that it is possible, but." When Thanatos thought about the things that could happen because of that, what they tried could only be described with the word insanity.
"When I was five years old, an insane grim reaper tried to turn normal humans into grim reapers. These humans were the village I lived in back then. In the village lived 200 people, and I was one out of six who survived this process."
Morgana felt like throwing up after remembering what happened back then.
"But that is not the time to pity me; we have to get going." After that statement, everyone was silent. Thanatos wanted to say something, but he remained silent. He didn't know her story, and he had no intentions of asking and assuming things he knew shit about them.
They sprinted even faster and managed to get there in just five minutes. All of them were sure that this man would pay for the things he did. They reached an empty warehouse on the outskirts of Shinjuku.
"Wait a minute, I've already examined this place personally and haven't found anything there." This This statement made all those present even more alert. Morgana crouched down and then jumped up onto the roof of the building. Thanatos crept in faster than one could see, and the dog followed him and positioned himself a few meters away from him.
But what they saw was something they hadn't expected at all. Three bodies lay on the ground.
Thanatos approached the corpses to check them out. What was noticeable about two of the four was that they had completely black teeth. Which only allowed one conclusion. It had to be demons. Demons could be identified by this very thing. As for the other two, "They are the two other souls we were searching for." Morgana said after seeing the two of them.
"I think it was that the two demons tried to snatch these two souls away from the Shinigami clan, and they probably did for a short time. But when the two were found again, one had to realize that they had eaten their souls. This Hideo then got angry and killed them both."
This was the most likely thing Thanatos could think about. The reason was that the souls of the two missing souls were not inside their bodies, and they died because of that. The demons, on the other hand, got brutally killed.
"The trail ends here. I can't follow her any further." The dog said.
"What are the reasons for that?" Thanatos asked. The dog was surprised that Thanatos jumped directly to that conclusion, but that made things easier for him.
"Only two. Number one, she is in another world; number two, someone is using a specific method to hide her from me. I can't say which method; there are many of them out there; what is, in your opinion, most likely?" The dog looked at Morgana; she was the one who could help them the most in this situation.
"They are hiding her; if she had already been turned into a grim reaper, I would have noticed that. It looks the same way when a grim reaper is born. The power of death runs wild and kills everything that comes near it."
The dog had to question once again what kind of fucked-up race the grim reapers were. 'Just how are they even going to get born if they kill everything around them?'
"There are no other beings than dreadharvesters and grim reapers that can enter Memento, so that means this Hideo is hiding her somewhere and waiting to perform the ritual." Morgana answered in an instant.
The only one who could help them now was her soul bond. He had to think about a place where he would be able to hide her. He asked them where the two of them had searched already. Thanatos and Morgana answered in the smallest detail, which simplified the whole procedure again.
He thought and thought and finally came to an answer: Hey, you two, I think I know where they are. A place where the two of them hung out quite often."
The dog explained to the two that she was probably in a cave on the supernatural mountain. Since the two of them got to know them, they spent time there, and Haruka loved that place very much. He knew Hideo pretty well. He wasn't a bad guy; he probably felt ashamed and hated what he was doing. He knew that he was risking her life.
Thanatos and Morgana asked no more questions. They had no clue where she could have been; it was their only hope.

"Hideo, what are you doing?" Haruka was trapped in exactly the same cave the two of them spent time in. But why did the two of them spend time in a cave? The answer was because this was the place where the two of them met for the very first time.
"I am so sorry, Haruka, but I have to do this for my family and the people from my clan. You understand, don't you?" Hideo was crazy right now; he wasn't in his mind and did all that just because he was clueless about what to do anymore.
"Hideo, you were the only person in my entire life I ever said was my friend. You told me about what happened, and I have sympathy for your situation. But what you're doing is wrong."
"What are you talking about there, Haruka? You said we were friends and that you would always help me, right? Right? No, you wouldn't do that; you always said that you were a good girl." Hideo couldn't understand what he heard; she was her friend, and she said she would help him. She said that she trusted him. Yes, he just misheard things there.
Hideo, in all the time we were friends, this time I think you never listened to me. Because I once told you that I never forgive people for what they did to me." Haruka was disappointed. From the person she called her boyfriend. From the person she once loved so much. But all that is in the past now. Haruka grinned and said, "I will never forgive you, and if I survive this, I will make sure to kill you. Just like my master taught it to me."
BOOOM!
"Hideo, you mother fucker! Die"
