The Name of the man who is fighting Suzuya is...

Taka Ryuu is a known gangster in the area who is beaten up by Suzuya in the past.

Suzuya:What's your name again?

Taka:Taka Ryuu.

Suzuya:Taka Ryuu? Dragon huh?

Taka:Yeah, I'm going to beat you Yoshitsugu!

Taka rushed to Suzuya at an unbelievable speed.

*kick* 

Suzuya:*Blocked* 

Suzuya:Your kick is quite good. 

Taka:Blocked huh? What Yoshitsugu? Can't fight?

Suzuya:Hey. Don't get ahead of yourself.

Suzuya then takes a stance and starts *punching* 

Suzuya:*Jab* 

Taka:*Dodge* 

(Taka:That was a ridiculous jab if it lands I'm finished.)

Taka dodges the jab and goes on the offensive again.

Taka:Take this! 

Suzuya:No. You will take this!

*Cough* 

*down* 

Taka:H-how I'm in advantage?

Suzuya:Advantage? Do you mean that?

Taka is strong unlike the other Suzuya fight so he observed his moves first. And calculates it. Then.

Suzuya:"..."

Suzuya leaves and returns home after that.

Akari:Welcome back. Brother.

Suzuya:I'm home Akari. *Patting Akari's head* 

Akari:Come on don't pat my head I'm not a kid.

Akari:*pouting*

Suzuya:But you like it right?

Akari:Hmph. Mom! brother is...

Mom:Welcome back Suzuya I've got work tonight so watch the house while I'm gone okay?

Suzuya:Yes, Mom. leave it to us right? Akari?

Akari:Yeah you can leave it to me.

Mom:Akari sleeps early this time no watching late at night.

Akari: "What are you talking about?" *playing dumb* 

Mom:Okay it's time the dinner is ready so eat together with Akari.

Suzuya:Yeah.

Mom then leaves the house.

But before she left.

Mom:Suzuya. What's with your arm it's quite bruised.

Suzuya:*Hides it* "It's nothing, Mom.

(Suzuya: "That kick is quite something.")

Mom:If you say so call me if something happens. Bye.

Suzuya:Bye. 

Mom is busy working sometimes so I watch the house while she's gone while taking care of my little sister Akari.

Present the next morning Suzuya is not returning at all his family is worried about him.

Akane is trying to connect with soul link but it's not responding.

Soul Link is like a connection between the Soul Contractor the soul can pinpoint the location of its partner but if it's faint like the one Akane sensing it can't find the exact location.

Akane: "I hope you are okay Suzuya."

Meanwhile, Suzuya is in a dark room.

Suzuya is being treated but not by doctors their like scientists.

Night after the Soul Contractor Management team arrives at the place Suzuya is already unconscious and in a critical condition. One man suggests that If they bring Suzuya to the hospital it's going to attract the media which is their kind of enemy. 

After that, they discovered that Suzuya is a contractor like them.

???: "What are you planning to do with that boy?"

The Man Who suggests this is Takezawa.

Takezawa: "That boy is going to be useful to us. And how is he connected with That scum Yamiyo?"

Takezawa: "Don't waste time questioning my actions!" 

???: "All right."

Shadow: "It's no fun Yamiyo. Hiding again.

Yamiyo: "Oh your getting bored again are you Shadow?"

Shadow: "Yeah I'm getting bored because they're weak.

4 men are murdered by Shadow after their escape and the reason why he kills them is...

Shadow: "They are in my way so I killed them."

Yamiyo: "Then Shadow. You don't mind If I give you the mission right now?

Shadow: "Mission? As long as it's not boring I will take that mission."

Yamiyo grins.

Yamiyo: "I'm sure you're not going to get bored dealing with them."

Shadow: "Them?"

A school that morning.

Suzuya and Akane are not coming. 

Hikari's friends 

Friend 1: "What's going on with Hikari? It's rare for her to be late.

Friend 2: "Right? And Suzuya too. It's like something is missing when Suzuya is not here.

Friend 3: "What? Did you have something for Suzuya?"

Friend 2: "W-well *blushing* 

Friend 1: "Look your blushing. I guess I can understand if you have a crush on him. He's quite hot. But I think he's quite lazy.

Friend 2: "Being lazy is not bad! He's so nice to me." 

Friend 3: "Nice to you? Suzuya? When?

The girls start to have their girls talk.

Friend 2: "So the story goes like this." 

We have a PE class that day and I'm running down the stairs when...

Suzuya: *holds her hand* "Hey, it's dangerous so be careful next time okay?

Friend 2: "O-okay." *blushing* 

Suzuya: "Umm?  Do you look familiar? Do I know you? *closing his face* 

(Friend 2: "You're too close."

Friend 2: "Yes, I'm your classmate."

Suzuya: "Ah, your Hiri-san right?"

Friend 2: "Hiri-san?"

Suzuya: "Yeah your Hikari's friend right? 

Suzuya then saw something.

Suzuya: "Sorry, I'm in a hurry. But Hiri-san *smiles* be careful next time.

Friend: 3: "Hiri-san? Who is that?"

Hiyori: "It's me I tried to tell him my real name but he left."

Friend 1: "That's so like Suzuya he doesn't remember any other names besides Hikari."

All of them chuckle.

The school goes on and the teacher arrives.

Teacher: "Hikari is not coming she's sick."

Later that night news.

TV 

News: "Reporting in a hotel the police found a dead body. *showing some pictures of the scene*  the body belongs to Suzuya Yoshitsugu a high school student found with a stab in his back and suspectingly beaten up. That's for the news tonight.

*crack*  a cup of coffee falls to the floor.

Hikari: "Suzuya?" *tears falling from her eyes*

Akane: "Dead? Suzuya I'm not believing any of that I'm going to find out what happened." 

(Akane: And I can't face Suzuya's family if he dies. I promise Suzuya's mom and Akari. too she can't lose his brother.)

Akane decided to find out what happened with Suzuya and she has suspicions about the news because it didn't give any other details about it. 

Akane: "I sense something dangerous is behind this."

Akane: "He's not dead." 

Takezawa is watching the news. 

Takezawa: *grins* "Haha. Finally. I'm going to get my revenge on you Yamiyo!"

Meanwhile, Yasha and Ahmya are on standby.

Yasha: "I'm out of here. I've got business to do."

Ahmya: "What? Business?"

Yasha: "My sister. She wants me to accompany her to the city. I said that I'm busy but she insist.

Ahmya: "Yes yes, Siscon Yasha."

Yasha: "I'm not siscon then see you."

Yasha left and then meet up with his sister.

Facility the scientist and doctors are keeping an eye on Suzuya's condition.

Doctor: "He's really in a critical condition. It's a miracle that the stab didn't damage anything." 

Doctor: "Can I ask you something? Takezawa-san?"

Takezawa: "What is it?"

Doctor: "Where did he get does scar and other things?"

Takezawa: "You don't need to know anything."

Doctor: "I understand sorry for asking."

Takezawa: "..."

Takezawa then leaves the room.

(Doctor: "It's not a scar that a 16-year-old should have.")

The Doctor not only found the stab but other scars too.

Yasha is his with Sister shopping.

Akane: "Yasha."

(Akane: If I need to know what's going on I need to think first about who I can easily approach in Yamiyo's group. There's Ahmya but I don't have any information about her. Then Yasha?)

Yasha is most likely to be here in this city. If Yasha is from another city it's such a bother if he needs to be here when he is summoned by Yamiyo. 

Which is why I'm here I got lucky that I find you Yasha.

Akane: "Sister? So you have a sister. How dare you enjoy this while Suzuya is... Calm down I can't lose my cool here. I'm not here to fight. And the damage Chikako did is still hurting nonetheless I've got a piece of information about their move.

What's Akane's plan to gain information from Yasha? 

Meanwhile in the facility. Where Suzuya is being held.

Takezawa is Takezawa Rio's father who is killed by Yamiyo five years ago.

???: "What do we have here?"

Takezawa: "Oh you're here? Yoshino, what brings you here?"

Yoshino: "I heard that you got a new patient... But is it a patient or an act of revenge?

* swoosh* 

Yoshino: *dodge* "Fast as ever Takezawa-san!"

Yoshino then closes into Takezawa's space and...

Takezawa: "Enough. Playing Yoshino."

Yoshino: "Aw, it's no fun I want to fight with you more."

Takezawa: "Don't worry you're going to have a training partner once he's conscious."

Yoshino: "Training Partner? Do you mean that? He looks weak."

Yoshino Said ignoring Suzuya.

Takezawa: "That boy is fighting against Yamiyo."

Yoshino: "What!? Do you mean that Yamiyo?"

Takezawa: "Yeah that Yamiyo."

Yoshino: *excited* "Then I'll be his training partner."

Yoshino is hyped to know that Suzuya can fight against Yamiyo.
