NAKU JOSEI'S
THINGS THAT HAPPENED AGAIN

Los angeles - East California.

At 7:10 PM.

James is seen sitting in front of his computer monitor. From the crowd of employees who were passing by, Jack was seen walking closer to him.

"Hey, what's up?" James said hello first.

"Ah, there's nothing." Jack paused for a moment, then said again, "Actually I want to ask, have you seen Yuki lately?" tanyakanya.

"Eh? isn't he taking a leave of absence to go to Japan?"

"I know about that, because we both went to Japan together, and we came back from there a week ago" Jack explained.

"Then?"

Jack leaned his shoulders against the wall. "That's why I asked you, have you seen her lately? Because ever since we got back from Japan, he's never been to work."

"Maybe he took a longer leave of absence, or stopped working for a while for some reason ...maybe, that's just my opinion."

"No, because the manager also asked me about it. His cell phone number also could not be reached" Jack explained.

"Have you been to his apartment?"

"Of course, but it looks like the apartment is empty. His car wasn't in the parking lot either." For a moment, Jack was silent to think.

"Could he have moved out of the apartment?"

"If it's like that, why would he have to turn off his phone? It was as if he didn't want to be contacted by anyone" James said.

"Huufft .. fine then. Please call me if you meet or see him, yes" said Jack, who walked away.

That night, Jack goes to his floor to pick up bags and jackets, then goes out of the building. Jack ran towards the parking lot while covering his head with his bag due to the heavy rain.

After boarding the car, he just sat down daydreaming while thinking about where Yuki was and where he was going. Is he really moving apartments? Think Jack over and over again.

A cup of coffee will probably make his mind open, which is why he intends to stop by one of the closest cafes. But shortly after, just before he started his car, Jack's phone rang. He reached into his pocket to see who was contacting him.

"Yuki ?"

"Hey! where are you? Why are you just calling me now? And why did you turn off your phone?" ask Jack.

"I'm sorry, Jack. I was actually in my apartment all this time, just. My body feels bad," explained Yuki.

"A preposterous excuse" Jack's inner.

"But why turn off the phone? The manager asked you, you know! Don't you want to work here anymore? You can get fired if you don't get into a job for a long period of time without any news!" resolute Jack.

"I just called the manager and told him about this. No need to worry."

"You .. So all this time you've been ignoring me every time I come to your apartment, huh!"

"I'm sorry .. tomorrow I'll start working again."

"All right then. Tomorrow morning we meet at tem-"

"Jack .. Can you come to my house now?" pinta Yuki suddenly.

"Now?"

YODAAARR!!! GRESSSSN ...

The rain was falling more and more; the lightning was thundering strongly. Jack started his car and started to get on the gas pedal.

"There's something I want to tell you, Jack," Yuki said.

"Well .. I'll be there in ten minutes" said Jack.

At the same time; kaze village, 11:15 AM.

Nori-san and Chiou-sama walked into the library. Among the several rows of bookshelves there, Chiou-sama directed Nori-san to one of the bookshelves in the corner of the room. There was a small closet that looked very old.

Chiou-sama opens the closet and pulls out a bag containing some old books; she picks up one of the books in the bag. The book only consists of a few pages, but also looks thick because of the size of the paper is different from other books.

Chiou-sama handed the book to Nori-san. "This is the book, maybe you'll get an answer after reading this book" he said.

Without thinking much, Nori-san immediately sat down on the chair and placed the book on the table; it opened and was read by him.

Meanwhile, at the temple of Sora. Yoshino-san is seen entering the temple with a gasoline jerrycan held in her right hand. There's no one in there. The other monks were sitting in the courtyard beside the temple.

Yoshino-san closed the temple door tightly and locked it, then he flushed every corner of the room and every object inside used gasoline.

The smell of gasoline was very pungent, smelling clearly all the way to the outside of the temple.

"Uuh ... Tomaro-san, do you smell this too?" ask one of the monks there who is beginning to realize this.

"Yes, it seems to be from the direction of the temple," he replied.

*****

Nori-san looked a little surprised after she read half of the book. For a moment he was silent and thought.

"This ...."

"I've read the whole book, but there are some things I can't understand, even Takamura himself doesn't understand what those words mean" Chiou-sama said.

A while later, Nori-san closed the book and stood up from her seat.

"Chiou-sama .. Can I borrow this book? This is very important!" nori-san pinta.

"Of course ...."

"thank you. Then, I have to get back to town."

Chiou-sama stood up from her seat; walked up to Nori-san and clasped her hands. "You have to be fast! The devil did the same thing to your nephew, just like he did to Maiko. It will continue until someone can stop it. Nori-san, it's not over yet; it's all just the beginning!"

Immediately Nori-san ran out of the library towards the temple gate; got into her car and immediately stuck the gas pedal at high speed.

On the other hand, Jack finally arrived in front of the apartment building. He walked into the elevator to the floor where Yuki was. Once he got there, Jack knocked on the door of the apartment, and soon someone opened the door from the inside.

"Hey .. come in" said Yuki, hugging Jack. "I'm sorry I ignored you all along. Don't be angry, yeah ...."

There was only a small smile on Jack's face as he stepped inside. He threw his jacket over the sofa and then sat there.

"I thought you were going out of town, or indeed moving into another apartment. You're this .. outrageous," Jack scolded.

Yuki smiled at him. "Do you want to drink hot chocolate?" bargained for.

"Good idea" replied Jack.

While Jack waits there, Yuki walks to the back to make Jack a cup of hot chocolate. But besides, he also took out a kitchen knife and slipped it behind his shirt. Occasionally Yuki turned to look at Jack who seemed to be playing a game on the sofa.
