The Return of the Grim Reaper

After Raizor, John, and Erick annihilated the soldiers who were coming, they boarded the plane to return, but Raizor felt the power of another person in the distance.

"So, this was truly your idea, you bastard. Next time, you'll deal with me," Raizor said in his mind as he looked towards a mountain from the plane's window.

As they approached Japan, Raizor and Lena went to talk alone to explain what happened, while Erick and John were going to explain to the rest.

"So, are you going to explain what's going on?" Lena asks, crossing her arms and staring at him intently.

"Yes, I just want you to calm down," Raizor says, nervously smiling mostly because of Lena's gaze.

"Do you remember what happened five years ago, right?" Raizor asks, looking at her seriously.

"Yes, I remember," Lena replies, returning the same gaze.

"After that incident, I disappeared from people's radar again, thanks to your father. But I had to accept something in return for not saying anything about me and the team of death spies," Raizor says, leaving Lena intrigued.

"And what did you accept?" Lena asks as she sits in one of the chairs.

"I agreed to work for the Striker family in secret, while Erick and John would have another job," Raizor replies as he leans against the wall, looking at Lena, who was surprised.

"And before you ask, both Erick and John had the job of watching over you to keep you safe," Raizor says, leaving Lena speechless at what he said.

"So that's why I met John, right?" Lena asks as she ponders what Raizor said.

"Yes, but that was your father's doing, as John was actually supposed to just watch over you and inform me if anything happened, which never did," Raizor replies as he looks out the window.

"So why did I never hear about you or Erick?" Lena asks as she gets up and approaches him, staring at him intently.

"Erick didn't want you to meet him, at least not at that time," Raizor says as he turns around, facing away from her.

"And what about you? Why didn't I see you after what happened?" Lena asks as she approaches again, but as soon as she saw Raizor's face, she noticed a sadness that she had seen before.

"Raizor, what's wrong?" Lena says as she puts her hand on Raizor's shoulder, who sighed before speaking.

"Because I thought you would be afraid of me and that you would be scared of me, so I always kept my distance from you," Raizor says, causing Lena to widen her eyes at what he said.

"Although I was always watching to make sure no one got close to you, but you never saw me because I was hiding," Raizor says as he turns to look her in the eyes.

"So you planned all of this?" Lena asks as she also looks him in the eyes.

"In large part, yes, but the idea was always to watch over you from afar. But when I found out about the German army, I asked John to tell me which academy you were going to attend," Raizor says, surprising Lena.

"Does that mean Director Sara knows you?" Lena asks as she continues to look at him.

"In reality, she knows all three of us, but she knows me much more than Erick and John, because she was the one who took care of me when I came back. I'll always be indebted to Sara," Raizor replies, surprising Lena.

"Following what I said, after I found out which academy you were going to attend, I contacted Sara to let me in, so I had to tell her the situation," Raizor says as he looks away.

"What I didn't expect was to meet you on the first day, hehe, but after the tests, Erick encountered the real killer who was going to attack you that day, so he took care of him," Raizor says, but just as he was about to continue speaking, Lena approached him, making him nervous and blush.

"In short, you three made sure that no one attacked or kidnapped me, right? And if so, why couldn't I feel Erick or John's powers?" Lena asks as she starts to corner him against the wall, making Raizor nervous.

"Damn, she's too close. It's because they also have affinity with the five elements, so you couldn't feel their powers," Raizor replies nervously, but his answer surprised Lena.

"Does that mean Erick and John are like you, then?" Lena says as she stares at Raizor.

Raizor just nodded, lowering his head, but he felt Lena's hand caressing him, causing him to lift his head and see a smile on Lena's face.

"Well, what really matters is that you told me what I asked, and also thank you for always taking care of me, Raizor," Lena says with a smile, making Raizor blush.

Raizor returned the smile to Lena, causing her to start getting closer to him, leaving him with no way to escape, which began to make him blush.

"Wait, don't tell me," Raizor said in his mind as he saw Lena getting closer and closer to the point of almost kissing.

But just as they were about to kiss, Raizor and Lena heard Euphi approaching the room where they were, so they quickly separated.

"Are you done talking, or am I interrupting?" Euphi asks as she enters the room and sees the two of them looking very nervous.

"Uh-uh-yeah, we're done," Raizor stammers, catching Euphi's attention.

"By the way, Raizor, Erick and John need to talk to you," Euphi says before leaving the room with Lena.

"Okay, I'll go now," Raizor replies, looking at Lena, who smiles at him, making him blush.

Raizor's path begins to go where he wants it to, as he won't be long before he can find his sister. His journey has only just begun.
