== Plot ==
Jared and Akari return to their neigborhood and find it infested with a lot of the strange creatures that attacked the school. Will they fend them off and find out who created them or die trying?
== Story ==
Jared and Akari left the (relatively) safe confines of their school and headed to Akari's house with the strange creatures in hot pursuit.
"I wonder if they'll ever stop?"- Akari wondered
"Well... I hope so!"- Jared replied. He was barely getting over the fact that he was the new wielder of an ancient and powerful weapon, but didn't realize the real reason behind the attack on their school... at least for now.
Soon, they reached the house. However, Akari was swarmed by a small amount of the creatures. They started grabbing her hair and tried to make her fall down.
"Let go! PLEASE!!! It hurts!... "- she screamed
"Jared! Help me!"
"Akari!"- Jared said while turning back. He tried to help her (and successfully killed some of the creatures), but also got swarmed by some of them.
Jared felt weak. The creatures were bringing him down.
"... Is this the end?"- He said to himself, faintly.
He was closing his eyes. His adventure was coming to an end.
However, mere moments before he was killed by the increasing horde of monsters, he was blinded by a faint light.
Five seconds later, the blinding light faded away.
He was amazed by what he saw. All the creatures around him and Akari were dead.
"Who... ?"- Jared wondered
"Jared, sweetie! Are you okay?!"- a familiar voice ringed into his ears.
He looked up. A woman with red hair was kneeling down with a worried expression. Akari was standing next to her.
"Ms. Minamino!"- Jared exclaimed, surprised to see Akari's mother.
She smiled.
"It's okay. It's okay. You're safe now. Don't worry."
"Thank you, mom!"- Akari said. She was clearly overjoyed to see her mother save them from impending doom.
Ms. Minamino hugged her.
"I'm glad you're both safe. If something happened to either of you, I would have been very---"
She curiously peered her eyes at the strange stain on Jared's stomach. She gasped.
Akari wondered why her mother was so surprised, so she looked at his stomach as well. Tears began falling from her eyes.
Jared weakly looked down as well. He noticed a puncture on his stomach. Lots of blood was dripping from it. It was very severe.
"So, one of those creatures got me, huh?"- He said coldly, knowing his fate was sealed.
"No... nonono... no... "- Akari muttered in disbelief. She couldn't believe that her childhood friend was dying.
"Oh God. Poor kid."- Akari's mother said in her head "I must act fast"
She grabbed his arm. "Sweetie, help me carry him home!"- she said to her daughter.
"Y-Yes, Mom!"- Akari replied, grabbing her classmate's other arm. She knew that every second was vital to save Jared from an agonizing death.
They hurried down the streets, repelling creatures that were trying to stop them.
They reached the house and went inside it.
Ms. Minamino placed the gravely wounded Jared on her daughter's bed.
They both looked at him with tears in their eyes.
"Akari, bring me some of the blue liquid from the basin outside! Hurry!"- Akari's mother said to her daughter.
"Yes, Mom. I'm on it!"- Akari said, running to the garden outside.
Jared looked at Ms. Minamino.
"I don't think I'm going to make it... "- he said "The wound... I can feel it draining my energy... Slowly."
"Don't worry, sweetie, I'm not going to let you die. I promise! Just wait a little bit more! My daughter's bringing liquid from the basin. I'm going to drink it and use my powers to heal your wound!"- she replied
"If I die, can you tell something to my family... please?"- he said weakly
"What is it?"- Ms. Minamino asked, scared for his life.
"Tell my parents that they raised a brave young man who died protecting his classmate from a group of monsters... like a hero. Tell my sister that I pass my room and the stuff in it to her. And... "
"Tell everyone that I love them. Very much."
"..."
After saying those words, he fainted.
Ms. Minamino looked at him sadly, tears falling from her eyes.
"I will, sweetie, I will!"- she said
Akari returned with a bucket. It was filled with a strange, bright blue liquid.
"Is he okay?"- she said, worried about the health of her classmate.
"He... he fainted. Wanted me to say something to his family."- her mother replied
"No! He couldn't be---"
But, before she could finish her sentence, more of the strange creatures started breaking into the house.
"We must get out! Leave Jared and go!"- Ms. Minamino said to her daughter
"NO!!! He could still be alive!"- Akari screamed, terrified at the though of having to leave her classmate for dead.
"Even if he still is, there's too many of them. And both of us are too weak to carry him outside."
"I WON'T ABANDON JARED!!!"- Akari screamed at her mother, holding onto her classmate's arm.
"But---"
"Don't you remember what you said to me when I was a kid, Mom? That "all lives matter" and that "no matter how grave the situation is, the person can always be saved". Well, prove it or let me die with him!"
Ms. Minamino was shocked. Her daughter did not want to leave without Jared and she was willing to die with him if she refused to get him out of the house.
"Okay."- she said "But I need more help to save him in this condition."
"Maybe Ms. Kaos can help? She's a great healer, like you!"- Akari replied
"Very well, then. We know where to go."
Both of them tried to find a way out- an open window or something similar. However, their attempts were in vain- all the windows were locked from the outside and the creatures were coming from the door.
"Check the walls, Mom! There must be---"
Akari fell through a secret passage.
"Honey, no!"- Akari's mother screamed, following her through the weirdly shaped passage while holding onto the unconscious Jared.
The passage sloped down and then went straight forward, like a waterslide. It was also slippery.
Akari reached the end of the long, slippery passage and fell down on a field of grass. So did her mother and Jared.
"What is this place?"- they wondered. Until they saw the small white house in front of them.
"It's Jared's house! Let's go in."- Ms. Minamino said, excited.
They knocked on the door. 
No answer.
They knocked one more time.
Still no answer.
They wondered where the Kaos family went.
A familiar woman approached them.
"Akari! Nozomi! Is everything alright?"- the woman asked them.
"We're okay, but your son is gravely wounded."- Ms. Minamino replied.
"He tried... to save me from those strange things, but ended up getting wounded himself."- Akari added, still tired from the adventure (also crying)
"Oh no! My son! My sweetpea! What have those creatures done to you?!"- the woman said with tears in her eyes while bringing her son home.
She carefully laid him on his bed.
"I have to use my healing magic. Maybe he will wake up afterwards."- she said.
"Let me help you. I'm a Healer, too!"- Ms. Minamino said, determined to help the woman.
She nodded.
They both started concentrating their healing magic onto the wound. 
Ten minutes later, it faded away.
"So... is he okay?"- Akari said, slightly relieved that the wound was gone.
The woman pressed her ear on Jared's chest.
"He's still breathing, albeit more lightly than usual. That's good."- she said
"He needs to rest for now, but someone needs to watch over him."
"I would gladly do that, but I have to help my husband (Jared's Father) fend off the creatures off our lawn."
"I'll stay here!"- Akari said, pulling out a chair and placing it near Jared's bed while sitting on it.
"Are you sure, sweetie? You have to help Ms. and Mr. Kaos out. I'll stay here instead"- her mother replied.
However, Akari was unfazed.
"He's my classmate. I care about him a lot and I won't let anything happen to him in my absence. Now go!"
Ms. Minamino looked at her daughter. She was surprised.
"She's no longer the little, defenseless girl that I protected from bullies two years ago. She's so grown up now. I can see it in her eyes."- She said to herself. 
"Okay, Akari. I'm entrusting you the life of my son. Don't let me down!"- Ms. Kaos said, knowing that Akari would do her best to do so.
"Yes, Ms. Kaos. I will not let my eyes pry off of him. He will be like the diamond for my eyes, the emerald for my heart, the--"
"That's enough, sweetie. I'm assured of that now."
Ms. Minamino left the house to fight the enemies.
Ms. Kaos glanced briefly at her son and went outside as well.
"Oh, Jared. If only I could do something to make you open your eyes immediately. But... I guess only time can tell how long it can take now."- she said to herself, knowing that he WILL wake up- whether it will be in a minute, hour or day.
Meanwhile, a girl with blue hair and two pigtails that was outside looked at the sleeping Jared through a nearby window.
"Brother... please wake up. We need you. Much more than before."- She said to herself, hoping that Jared would wake up and fight the incoming evil creatures.
