"It wouldn't be complicated if you told me -!!"

"That's enough! You have no further discussion with me!"

"But Suzuki-!"

"No discussion!!" After she left, Tobi was left carrying the unconscious Sara in his arms.

 "I won't let you die, understand?" he mumbled. "The Ultima Shell is the mostly violent way to die. There won't be any peace, even after you pass. Please don't forget, I'm still your friend..."  He placed her on her bed and looked inside her dresser.

After a good few minutes, she started to wake up with a sore face."Ugh... that Suzuki. She really hasn't changed at all."

She saw Aoru in a vision. He was running. Fighting. All for her. She felt worried and relieved. Tobi noticed her expression and worried that she lost all sense of self, until she started speaking. "Tobi, it's alright. It's just that my boyfriend is in the demon realm and he's alive. He's coming for me."

"B-boyfriend?! Wait... you have a boyfriend? Is he a Sliek too?"

"Yes, I have a boyfriend. And no. He's a human I've spent time with over there."  

His jaw dropped to the floor "A HUMAN?! How is that possible? Yiu know better than anyone that he'll die in this world! The air is poison here if consumed by a human..."

   

"I know that. But he's not an average human. Don't worry about it Tobi. We just have that kind of relationship." Sara just smiled which soon faded as soon as she saw him searching through her dresser.  "Uh, what are you doing?"

"T-this isn't what it looks like!! honest!!"  He found what he was looking for. He grabbed a pair of her undergarments and started to shake them.

"Then why are you holding my panties?!" When she was about to throttle him, something fell on the floor. Then he put the underwear back in the dresser with his face beet red. An old necklace with a Sliek symbol appeared.

"You still hide things in my dresser?? I swear, you haven't changed either...just what is this thing? It looks fragile." Tobi picks up a color stained glass picture with a metal frame at its round edges, showing the picture of the Sliek symbol in the center. "It's so pretty...what is this Tobi?" 

 "It an old Sliek Relic. To be more specific, It's the Mito Family Heirloom. It was passed down from our ancestors to decendents from generations and holds great power of immortality. It was supposed to be passed down to Suzuki, but I hid it from her from all this time we hung out together. Because I knew she would misuse it. I had that gut feeling that I should give it to you and I was right." He hands it to her. "Please take good care of it..."

Sara nodded. "What happened Tobi? How long was I out?"

"I'll tell you everything that I know but there are a lot of things she's not telling me.It's like she's lost all trust in me."

"I'd like to know as well." They turned to see a Sliek none had seen before. Suddenly, the new creature ran to Sara and wrapped his arm around hers.

She was shocked to see another of her kind embracing love, or kindness of any sort. As he embraced her, there was an eerie glow on his chest and rose a shell. Sara recognized the shell immediately and could not believe her eyes. As soon the glow faded, her eyes widened.

*This is really him? But how is possible?! Just what the hell did he do to get here??*

Tobi became puzzled. "Um. What just happened? I thought you said your boyfriend was human?"

Aoru just ignored him. "Now tell me everything." Then he charged and grabbed Tobi by the collar. "If you don't, I'll be sure you'll never breathe again." 

"Toro! What are you doing??"

"Saving the Human World, and you. Now talk you demon!"

"Wait, wait, wait, THIS is your human boyfriend?? He looks nothing humanlike!"

"I grow impatient each second. I had to beat the crap out of some guards, some weird lizard things, and I'm going to get information out of you one way or another. Now talk dammit!"

Tobi broke into a cold sweat. "Look, all I know is that Suzuki is planning on releasing everyone at once at full force. but she won't tell me her true intentions...Uh-"

"Hey man, you survived?! How-" Everyone in the room looked at the door to find Razuka panting, catching his breath to speak again. "Whoa. I had a feeling that the mess down there belonged to you. But man! All this way to discover this!"

Razuka came closer to analyze this creature. "You did something drastic to come here didn't you? You are who the humans called Aoru, right? "

"OF course I am! What are you...?" Aoru looked at his hands, they were claws. He saw his reflection in the vanity mirror above Sara's open dresser. He saw the official symbol on his face. He became one of them. He became a Sliek
