The rays of the Sun cross through the tree in the yard of Kazama Residence. The father teaches his son combat. Kamui is punching the palms of Lucius.
"Too bad. You will get caught. " Says Lucius.
Kamui says by taking a pause after each word, "I am trying!"
He is exhausted but can't defeat the defence of Lucius. Lucius charges over him with a shoulder tackle. Kamui falls, and Lucius gives him a hand.
"Susano is beyond your reach for now. You must strengthen your combat; otherwise, how will you make me proud in the future?" He smiles and continues, "I am already retired, you should be able to beat me now. This was your final chance. "
Kamui replies, "Maybe because all over in my mind is to find my Susano nature."
Lucius replies, "Don't take pressure. As I said, Susano, it is useless if you don't know self-defence and hand-to-hand combat. "
Kamui asks his father, "Father, what's your nature ?"
Lucius replies, "Oh, mine? Don't you know? My Susano nature is- "
"Breakfast is ready" the voice comes from the dining room.
"Let's go" Lucius says.
Now, Kamui heads towards the school and sits under the waterfall, trying to listen. For the first time, he was really able to concentrate. All around him, he could feel emptiness, like everything had vanished from the planet, even the air. Suddenly he feels something. Something below it, calling out. He tries to listen, and he hears, "Ohm! "
He opens his eyes and calls Abel and tells him the experience.
"Well, I think it's Mother Earth. Many people have recorded the 'Ohm' but you must know it's rare. According to data, only 15 percent in a generation hear this and those who hear are gifted with 'Prithvi' nature. "
Kamui thinks, "Prithvi"
He dances in excitement as he has accomplished his first goal to explore the unexplored. He tells Priya, she congratulates him, and asks him to use it.
"Huh ? Use it? But how ?"
"You don't know? " Priya questions.
She moves her finger towards a branch of a tree and whispers
"Jal: water bullet"
The bullet caused Branch to shake swiftly.
Kamui exclaims and says I will try too.
He slams his hands on the ground and shouts
"Prithvi: Earth wall"
He was expecting that a mud wall would be established, but nothing occurred.
Priya giggles
"Now don't laugh" Kamui gets annoyed.
Abel sees and laughs too and approaches there
"I told you that Prithvi is rare and the most difficult nature to control. Even I, a C rank sturggle to control Prithvi. You must practice harder than others. "
Kamui makes a frustrated face.
Abel beats his head and says, "Now don't make that face kid. "
Abel looks at some kids making noise over the entrance. Abel rushes and asks,
"What's the matter ?"
A kid says, "Look sir, the famous Susan is coming. What was his name though ?"
Abel says, "Well it's everyone's favourite Kageyama Akira, isn't it ?"
Kageyama smiles a little. Kamui approaches there after hearing the name and sees the clean-bearded face of Kageyama with his serious eyes. Kageyama looks at Kamui and again smiles a little, but that smile doesn't reflect joy, as if sorrow pressures him to widen his lips.
He slowly walks towards the second floor, rediscovering the conversation between him and the man in purple.
"You must take this purple scroll with you to Yama, for when Yama calls your name, a divine dragon, so powerful even Yama couldn't handle, will be summoned. All there will be ponds of blood where my cute creatures would be playing. Don't you understand, Akira? It's a step for internal peace. "
Kageyama replied, "What if I spit on your scroll and deny your 'humble' request?"
The man stared at him as if he were just about to behead him.
"My old friend, I respect so you must too. I don't want enmity between us so please maintain manners. And the answer to your question is that if you do not find Yama, then I will approach the village alone with the mind of destroying the smiles of all the people living there. "
Kageyama stands in front of the Indo leader's door, hoping not to find Yama inside it. He knocks on the door, doesn't get a reply, and opens it with his eyes closed. Yama was not present. He sighs and thanks God for the fortune.
"So you have come back. " The voice echoes in the ears of Kageyama. He thinks of the smiles of children playing in the village. Families spend their time together with joy. At last, he accepts the defeat.
"Boom! "
A voice came from the scroll. The scroll itself got opened, and strangely, the voice of the purple man starts revealing.
"Hahahahahha....I bet you got scared friend. Oh, isn't it old man Yama? You seem frightened. Is this the way to see your old child ?"
Kageyama looks at Yama, the fear's fear; his expressions were something that the generation had never seen.
The voice continues, "I hope you enjoy the peace, and trust me, all I want is peace, but for god's sake, stop keeping it from Akira. He is my friend and so is Lucius. Oh, Lucius, well Lucius, you know Yama, you are that smart, aren't you? "
The voice ends like the fading of water vapours. Kageyama looks at Yama, Yama turns back, and yells
"Head to Kazama Residence right now! "
It was departure, and Kamui walked towards his home in peace. He is humming a song as he has found his Susano nature, but suddenly his happiness turns upside down when policemen in brown clothes with a brown hat, where in white is written 'P', stand in front of his home.
He rushes towards it, tries to enter, but one of the policemen stops him.
"It's my home, let me go inside."
He escapes his hands and enters. He is trembling from his feet to his head. He sees in the dark a chair. As he moves his head up, he can see legs. The darkness is slowly fading by the small light ray coming from a window.
Lucius Kazama has hanged himself.
Kamui kneels down and screams in sorrow. Policemen take him up but he struggles to move towards the body of his father. Suddenly, he sees on the left side his mother who is held by Kageyama. His mother can't stop crying as her beloved is no more.
Kamui gets silent and says in a voice so low that a man would never have heard, "Mother ?"
In the police headquarters, not that large, but it seems like the largest building in the village. Kageyama enters and sees his old friend's corpse covered in a white sheet, being inspected.
A policeman approaches him and says, "The lord has called you, sir. "
He enters a room, covered in darkness, but Yama sits there and waits for him. Kageyama took a seat and opened his mouth to speak, but Yama raised his hand.
"You must not blame yourself kid. I should tell you the details of the crime scene. After that message, a strange letter in red appeared out of no where, 'M'.We saw Lucius commit suicide, and before it, he burnt a diary and wrote a letter 'E' on the wall with his blood."
Kageyama replied with tears in his eyes, "I should not have been weak. But I know I should not regret now. Why don't you tell me everything? Why do you conceal everything from me ?"
Yama holds the man's hands in hopefulness and speaks, "It's for your best. It's for the people's best. When the time comes, the truth will be unwrapped in front of your eyes."
Kageyama nods, and a policeman rushed inside the room and says, "Well, the dead man's wife has committed suicide too."
Kamui, in his room, does nothing but cry. His mother and father left him alone. He claims that this is the worst day a human can have when he takes birth. The night haunts him. People say that the voice of his sorrow never stopped until dawn, and the house was flooded with tears.
The boy didn't visit school that day. Abel knew that the boy couldn't hold up, but he feared that he might take his own life, too.
In the evening, when Kamui locked up the home. A knock broke the silence. First, Kamui ignored but after the second knock, Kamui decided to open the door.
Kageyama comes in, "Well isn't it Mr. Kamui's home. Quite a place to live, have to say. "
He turns towards Kamui and says, "Wanna hang out ?".
The moon shines bright, and here in the low-quality amusement park, the duo chill out. Kamui seems to totally forget the tragedy. Lets thanks to Mr. Favourite Susan of all.
When darkness is battled by lanterns in the park, Kageyama waits for Kamui to have ice cream at a stall. Kamui reaches there and Kageyama buys for both of them. He provides the kid with his gift.
Kamui was about to eat, but suddenly he could not suppress his emotions.
"Now now, don't act like this. "
He removes the strawhat he was wearing and puts it on the head of the crying child and says,
"Men do not cry"
The kid stops crying, Kageyama continues, "This was the hat of your father when he was young. Once, I was his best friend, they say, but I don't recall anything, and as the best friend, it's my duty to protect my little brother. "
He smiles and sees Kamui, "Will you accept me as your brother ?"
Kamui laughs and Kageyama replies, "You look so funny now." Both laugh and deflect the arms of sorrow surrounding them.
The duo reaches the home and Kageyama asks his new brother.
"Can I stay with you? I also don't have a family. Before, I used to sleep with my mates, but I guess orphan brothers would be better."
Kamui nods with tears in his eyes. The newly formed family bond is as unbreakable as a diamond. People say that one would never have guessed that they are not blood-related. Kageyama never let Kamui feel alone, and neither does Kamui. With the newly formed relation, the sorrowful story of the brothers came to an end, but they were unaware of the dangers lying ahead of them.
In his room, Yama sits alone with thunder bisecting the night and whispers, "Menos, so you truly have explored the unexplored. "
