80. A duo of stalking demons!

[Rescuing Ayuka: Arc 5]

Fiended state also known as the "Second Spirit" of a Ginkenian. A Fiend that lies within a Ginkenian's body awakes whenever it can break through. Some Fiends in a Ginkenian Body also draws out higher rates of someone's power, usually when a person is closely weak to those Fiends in Ginkenian's body can sometimes overshadow the person and go on an outrage. Several Ginkenians had the ability to learn how to release a Fiended State by themselves, that truly helps them in boost. But Fiends can also decide not to lend their power to a human or as we know, Ginkenian... Those who have such ability are known as Masked Spirits... currently we still do not know what this power truly is about..

{Tim quickly felt something, the next step that he made on the air was incapable of being complete, instead he dropped and quickly began falling down the the road.}

As Tim layed down on his bed he was thinking what was wrong once he almost dropped to his death. ("If I dropped down... my neck... it would be broken.... why did this happened right then...") Tim wondered but unable to figure it out, he seemed to be very annoyed over himself. "I couldn't sense Ayuka following me either... it couldn't be the weather since it was as clear as dust... I don't even know, it could have just been one time thing.... but if this continuous, I can't make others worried, so I have to keep my mouth shut..." Tim sat up straight onto his feet and reached into his closet, somehow Ayuka seemed to have been somewhere else. After Tim reached his daily clothes, he put them on and advanced forward through the door into the living room. "Oooh! Hey! Timmy! Look at this TV show! It's an action and comedy movie!" Myles made a strange face expression. "Seems like fun, I suppose." Myles was quite concerned of Tim's reaction. "Hey! What the hell's up? You never liked the movie, it's one and the only! I only wanted to make fun of you!" Myles angrly said as he pointed at Tim. "Maybe I like it now..." Tim picked up his bag. "Alright, stay at home, I'll only go buy some stuff." Myles was leaned over the sofa's back edge and bored with unamusement, his arms were hanging down too. "Are you serious... you seem too boring at the moment, can't you get annoyed...?" Myles answered once looking at Tim, but with a simple answer, Tim spoke. "Why would I? You're just watching a movie that you really love, just multiple times... nothing wrong with that... alright, stay safe and don't cause too much ruckus while I'm gone." Tim grabbed his apartment keys and exited down the stairs. "I think I prefered the 'easily annoyed' Tim than his acting currently..." Myles reached for a pilot and switched TV channel, he stood up and decided to go look something so he could eat in the fridge. "Oh! Tim's pudding, he might become angry after this, if I eat it, hehehe..." Stealing the pudding from the fridge and then grabbing a spoon, Myles sat behind a chair, but then he came across something, there was something going on on TV in Ichiba Street. "Huh, what are people even recording, something happened?" But as Myles looked around the area he noticed Ayuka knocking on someone's door. "Whoa! Ayuka, what is she up to... and is that a some kind of store she just visited...." A few seconds later, he noticed someone opening the door and letting Ayuka in.

"Look who reappeared, what are you after now?" Akira asked, the young boy looking at Ayuka. The man looked at her who fixed his hat. "Tishida.... there is just a few things that I would like to know." Akira seemed to be already bored of the conversation so he backed away. "It's about the Soul Caller, Tim Shinkaku that I've been telling you about..." Tishida looked at her a bit confused. "Oh, what's up, something wrong with 'Type Brace'? If so, you can sell it back to me!" Tishida progressed another joke with a wink. "No, I just want to say... yesterday when I tried to give him the 'Type Brace', he declined it and I rushed after him, but then, when chasing him down, he seemed to lose his ability to sense a Ginkenian's Spiritual Symbolism and also he ended up falling from the Air Step, I know it's true that a Ginkenian can possibly lose ability with 'Type Brace', but... it only passed around 2 months if not 3... is there something I am missing, losing power abilities is usually around 7 to 8 months of being a Soul Caller.... he shouldn't be in a place in which he begins to lose his powers." Ayuka worriyingly said and made a shock to some of them. "Oh... you know... losing his powers is actually now a perfect time... remember he wasn't a Soul Caller since his birth... he was given the powers by another Ginkenian and for the Ginkenians who were given powers is more likely to end up in a stickier situation, meaning losing his power before 7 to 8 months time limit.... that's just a throw away for these kind of Soul Callers... all he can do now is to take this 'Type Brace' and insert his Spiritual Symbolism into it, that way he'll able to keep most of his abilities, as we know 'Type Brace' is an extension and a needed item for a Ginkenian to have, I had the same problem back in the days." Tishida smiled after his somewhat longer explanation. "I see... but he won't take it, that's the problem here." Ayuka added with an annoying sigh. "Ah, give him a break, he is still a newbie to these things, for now, you should keep a very close eye on him, then through time he'll understand it on his own... give him a few weeks so he understands, just make sure that he doesn't use to much of his Spiritual Symbolism by fighting enemies or using Air Step, and make sure that he keeps away from Vanishing Dash, that really puts his Spiritual Symbolism in disadvantage." Tishida immediately explained with his calm thoughts.

- Next Morning -

In Tim's apartment, Tim seemed to have been taking care of dish washing. "Tim, you gotta see this! Here!" Myles blazed forward and showed Tim a yesterday's recording of Ayuka entering a store. "Huh, what are you trying to show me?" But Myles pointed in the corner of the video. "Don't you see, it's Ayuka, what if she actually dating someone!" Myles said with his loving thoughts over his mind. "Calm down, she's probably just visiting a friend, not my duty to worry and even if she is dating someone, I don't care either." But Myles immediately smashed into Tim's back. "Hey! Watch it~" "That was to test your thoughts, but just look, it is a store that almost nobody visits, why would she be visting there if nobody ever visits it... please, could you at least go check it out for me?" Myles hoped but of course, Tim declined. "Sorry, if you're so interested, go check it on your own." But Myles huffed up a sigh. "You know I'm bad with directions, I could use someone to go check for me, or I'll just end up getting lost!" Soon with Myles's words, the window opened and Ayuka jumped in, she faced at them as the two boy froze. "What, what are you looking at me for?" With Tim's unamusement, he answered. "You know, there's a door." "Didn't feel like going through it, I brought something too.. "Oh wow!" As another girl called Tim turned behind with his head almost glitching. Mia packed her way forward and checked into Ayuka's bag. "When did- get in?" Eyes of Tim were quite squiggly. "Is this for me! Aw! How nice from you! You're a good girl friend!" Giggled Mia and reached for the bag, but Ayuka who was unamused pulled the bag to the side. "Eh?" Mia looked up at her after she crouched. "It's for everybody not just you!" Unamused to Mia's acting, Ayuka spoke. "Aw! But I'm hungry! I smell such good food! Yu-mmy!" After saying, Mia clapped out with her hands. "I gotta do something about this apartment so people WON'T just enter." Myles was also now confused. "See! Myles, she just went to visit the store for some stuff, nothing to worry about!" Still confused on Ayuka's acting, Myles spoke. "Uh, maybe you're right...."

("I gotta keep a close eye on him and then if I see constant failures, I gotta give Tim his 'Type Brace', let's hope that someone won't attack at this state...") Ayuka wondered out through when looking at Tim, who seemed to be somewhat natural.

But on the outside. "Look at them, when shall we attack these weak and failing Soul Caller, firstly him then we can take care of the girl... and who knows, we might even get a gift from her blood!" Laughed a scouting Demon, the same two Demons who seemed to have been constantly chasing down Tim and Ayuka. "Tim what's up, you seem somewhat estaticed too." Spoke Mia once giving look toward him. "I'm not estaticed. I'm just ready for tomorrow's first day of the second year of the high." Spoke Tim once searching for better clothes in his closet. "Huh? So how long has it passed then?" Asked Ayuka already giving him a confused answer. "It passed 8 weeks in total, so 2 months, so tomorrow I'll~" But Ayuka immediately interfered him. "Oh! I completely forgot! I gotta grab my uniform!" Ayuka excitedly called out. "Are you really in a hurry, your uniform is in that closet that you like to spend time in... heesh." Tim answered when giving a bored out look. "Oh, right! Thank's I completely forgot!" Ayuka rushed in the room and searched for her uniform, but she stumbled upon Tim's too, she looked at the 'Type Brace' and then hurried through, putting inside of Tim's uniform pocket. "Maybe if something goes wrong, he'll have it near him." She made sure again for nobody to see and then grabbed her school uniform, closed the warderobe and walked toward her bag. And then soon after the day passed, that morning came!

|Tokyo City - Mainichi no kimochi High School - Wednesday, 8:30 a.m.|

"Tim! Hey! Buddy!" Somebody shouted out and Tim rushed with a look, his friend Tyler hushed in and tried to jump at him, but as Tim disliked such touching, or hugging he raised his arm and allowed Tyler to smash into it, when Tyler slipped back onto the back and made a weird pose. "A 'hello' is fine." Tim faced back down. "Oh! Hello! Tim!" Another female girl said and waved to him. "Good to see you!" Tim seemed to be rather confused but answered. "Hey to you too, Odina." He fixed his bag that he had leaned on the shoulder. "Oh! So how were your holidays? Hihi?" Odina clapped and seemed to be quite excited today. "Uh...I...let's just say I was busy a lot, like a LOT, a lot." But then Odina hurled with next question. "Oh! By the way! Have you seen the terror thingy that was all over the technological platforms, that was kinda scary, y'know!" Giggled up Odina and scratched her hair with a delightful smile. "Man! Those breasts are huge!" Odina immediately became embarrassed once Mia came from no where, squeezing Odina's part. "Yaaack!" Called Odina in shockness with her orange hair and seemed to be quite surprised. Tim almost threw off the bag and dropped down, but caught himself in a step. "Mia! What the hell are you doing here?!" Tim asked but Mia looked over Odina's shoulder and winked. "I came to visit the school, isn't it great, haha!" Mia loudly called with a smile, then she finally let go. "Uh, ehehe... uhm.... do you know her?" Odina asked embarrassed and ashamed of questioning. "Yeah I do, she's just~" But Mia finished her sentence. "His girlfriend! Glad to meet ya!" Odina's eyes became squiggly and Tim immediately raged put. "That's not true! Stop doing that! Calm down, we're just.... 'holiday' friends...." Tim sighed and grabbed his bag again. "She seems to love her attitude..." Ayuka stepped behind Tim to the front. "Oooh! Ayuka! Good to see you!" Odina smiled and both of them gave each other a girlish hand-shake. "Is that a potato bump?" But then Ayuka faced at Tim. "You fool! This is an actual hand-shake!" But as Tim heard that from Ayuka he almost died from laughters. "Ehehe.... he hasn't change much has he?" Odina once again scratched her head. "No, he has not, apparently..." Ayuka bumped Tim into his shoulder so that he shut up. "Hey! That actually hurt a little!" Tim swooped his palm on the shoulder from the pummel. But then they finally entered the classroom.

"Hello and good morning to everyone! I hope you had a brilliant and perfect holidays! But now we're once again back with school work, so shall we begin! But firstly, here is our new student! Mia~, uhm... what's your~" But before Mrs. Senna could ask, Mia already said. "No need! Just call out to me! Mia!" She winked and the students seemed to become quite fund of her, but the stalking Demons have just not gave in.
