The World We Do Not Know 140 Yuji

"Oh no!" Faust jumps around, panicking and searching for his axe which was supposed to be on his hips.

*"Why is he jumping around like a buffoon."* The girl thought to herself and that Faust was the most ridiculous person she has ever met so far.

"I hit your leg, why would your kidney be gone?" Yui asks as Faust is searching on his hips. She thought that Faust is too dumb that he must have a.s.sumed that he lost his kidney and it popped out and dropped somewhere.

"My axe! I'm searching for my axe! Not my kidney, I'm not that stupid oi." Faust turns to face the girl with his sad puppy eyes looking right into hers like a little kid.

"My axe, my axe, my axe, I lost it, help me find it." Faust cries and pleads to her and was all over the girl as he kept moving hyper-fast without resting.

"You need to know, you are dead. That's why the things you had when you are alive won't come to this world, like your axe. This is the spirit realm; The spirit world. The dead pa.s.ses through this world or just wanders around here without knowing where to head to. Let me find some guardians and you will be guided out of here." The girl breaks down everything casually as if she knew every grain in that world.

'Present'

"It's that guy, I can never forget him." Yuji keeps walking while reminiscing the events.

"What you looking at? Come, it will be easier this way." Yui is floating in the air and gestures Faust to fly like her.

"Umm, I don't know how to fly though," Faust says quietly.

"Eh, it's easy, release your spiritual power. Once it is connected with the spiritual power of this world you can just fly as you walk, it becomes one of those things. I don't know how to explain it, haha." Yui laughs, embarra.s.sed.

Faust doesn't seem to understand anything, he was really confused.

"It's ok, close your eyes and focus on your spiritual power." Yui says again as she senses how clueless Faust really is about these things.

"I don't even know what spiritual power is." Faust says as his puppy eyes appear once again.

"Are you for real? Why am I stuck with such a guy?" Yui impatiently says as she comes down and grabs one of Faust's hand.

"Ok, I'm going to let my spiritual power flow into you." Yui says while she closes her eyes and her face becomes so peaceful.

All of a sudden, a white cosmos like aura surrounds Yui's body. Faust is mind-blown by what he sees, but he stays quiet as he thinks that this special skill needs one to focus.

The white cosmos like aura then pa.s.ses onto Faust and Faust starts to float up in the air. "There, we are better now, hehe." Yui says and takes off with Faust while holding his hand tightly.

Faust can feel air gushing onto his face, he is so scared that he had shut his eyes tightly, he doesn't want to look down no matter what.

"What are you, a baby? Nothing would happen to you even if you fall here, the atmosphere is not the same as on earth.

Open your eyes as we can only fly in this dimension, we need to enjoy this feeling of flying." Yui says while she spreads her hands wide and enjoys the flight.

Faust slowly opens his eyes out of fear and he sees everything under him is moving so slowly, they are pa.s.sing through the orange like clouds and yet nothing happens to them.

Yui takes them high in the sky to a blue coloured cloud. The cloud is not like a normal one, but is somehow emitting aura or energy in the form of dim light.

"I will let you experience something good hehe" Yui says as they both land on the blue clouds.

"This is the spirit cloud, go on take a part of a cloud and lick it or shove it in your mouth." Yui says as she takes a handful of cloud which seems like cotton candy and she licks the cloud.

The white aura around Yui suddenly gets brighter for a second and goes back to normal. "Mmmmmmmmmmmmm~ so goodddd." Yui says and claps her hands in excitement and laughs like a kid as if she has tasted the most delicious candy ever.

Faust out of curiosity dips his finger in the sparkling cloud and licks it.

*Zap!!~~* all the neurons in Faust's brain feel like they got struck by lighting.

Faust felt like electricity just pa.s.sed throughout his entire body sending chills down his spine and he breathes heavily.

"Wahhhh, I think this is what the adults call drugs, I don't think we are supposed to be doing it." Scaredy Faust tells Yui.

"Hahaha, no, you silly." All of a sudden, Yui stuffs a huge amount of the cloud in Faust's mouth as she smiles brightly like a mischievous kid having fun.

Faust felt a huge surge of power flowing inside him, he falls on his knees and then gasps hard for air.

"Not fair Yui, I was nice to you. How can you do this to me?." Faust says while sparkling tears roll off his eyes.

While this is happening a light red aura is spreading on the back of Faust's shirt, a small cylindrical tube formed only above Faust's spinal cord. The red aura also seemed to be in the form of a spine made out of the aura. It goes unnoticed by both Faust and Yui.

"The element of these spirit clouds is used in the preparation of boosters and resucts. I heard it from my dad." Yui says proudly.

"Uh-huh, prepare yourself now. It's for revenge." Faust hides a handful of the cloud in his hand behind his back and runs towards Yui with an evil face and Yui realizing Faust's plan runs away and they both keep running while laughing loudly which resonates the sky.

"Haha, I had so much fun. I normally don't get to enjoy like today. But we haven't been able to find a way to send you back to where you came from." Yui muddles while she stares in the sky feeling joyous.

"Ahem~" a voice is heard. Both feel a presence behind them and take a protective stance, as they turn around to face the newcomer.

"Lord Uriel?! What brings you here? Did my brother cause any trouble for you? I will set him straight at this instant. Please forgive him." Yui pleads without even listening to the man, kneeling on one knee and draws her arm out.

There was a tall, st.u.r.dy guy in front of Faust and Yui in a long royal-like white gown, with golden strips at shoulder portion in a spreading flame like pattern, wrapped with a hood.

It seems like an a.s.sa.s.sin's cloth wear. The guy also has a long staff in his hand with a huge black stone, the size of a fist, situated at the head of the golden staff. A mysterious black aura slithers around his body.

Uriel walks up to Yui and flung forward his right hand. Yui then take the offered hand and grazes her lips against his the knuckles, as an offering of respect, politeness and loyalty.

"Faust get down on your knee and kiss the Lord's hand, fast!" Yui whispers nervously, half -afraid for Faust.

As Faust is about to bend on his knee, the huge guy says "Oh no no, don't bother about formalities, I'm Uriel." The tall guy stops Faust from getting on his knees and offers his hand for a handshake.

Yui is dumbstruck by this gesture from her lord. *"lord Uriel is normally a very strict King-like personality, who accepts only royalty treatment. Why so different with Faust?* Thoughts began flooding Yui's head.

"Nice to meet you Mr. Uriel, I'm Faust." Faust introduces himself casually and shakes the hands with Uriel politely.

"This is the chief Guardian in this world you idiot, he is almost like an angel here. Please forgive him, Lord Uriel. I apologise in his place." Yui says in a panic.

Faust too panics after hearing Yui -"wahhh, I'm sorry chief Uriel. It is an honor to meet a celestial lord." Faust utters whatever that came into his head.

"It's really ok, I'm not a bad guy, you know." Uriel says as he thinks to himself deeply observing *"Is it really him? Why is he acting like a weakling? Something must be wrong here, am I even talking to the correct person?"*

Uriel questions himself while he glares at Faust's finger. *"No thread of life, huh? Guess I must be mistaken."* Uriel felt as though he came to a final conclusion.

"Um, Mr. Uriel I'm not able to go back to the place I came from. Will you please help me find my way back? " Faust pleads Uriel in the most cutest ways like a lost puppy.

"Yo-you idiot, Lord Uriel has more things to deal with than solving our problem." Yui says as she starts to sweat more hearing Faust's balderdash.

"It's alright, I can send people to where they came from. It's really simple, you see." Uriel says as he lifts his staff up, the black stone on the staff starts to shine brightly.

"Please wait a second Lord Uriel." Yui says with a rather worried face.

"If you go now. I don't know if we will ever meet. So I'm thinking.... " As Yui was saying. "It's ok if we split up. I know that we will surely meet someday no matter what." Faust interrupts Yui and he smiled at her like he had never done before.

"I want to meet you everyday, you are the only friend I had up till now in my life." Yui struggles to tell Faust that she wanted to be his friend, she wanted to play and explore with him everyday.

"Since I don't have any tracking devices and you don't have a spiritual power, it will be impossible for me to find you the next time you come into this world."

*" He doesn't have a spiritual power?* Uriel is shocked upon hearing this and looks keenly at Faust.

"I'm going to attach my thread of life to you, so that whenever you come into this world, I can reach you easily." Yui tells Faust as she moves closer to him, grabbing the hand of Faust, holds his hand in hers, closes her eyes and seemed to be chanting something. Faust's cheeks get heated up, his ears turning red.

A pile of thread forms around the pinky finger of Faust, which is connected to Yui's hands. Now the thread could be traced back to the real body of Yui, as well as her soul whenever Faust returns into this realm.

"Okay, move back, Yui" Uriel says, as he lifts his staff in the air and touches Faust with the black stone.

*poosshh!!!~~* Faust disappears all of a sudden and wakes up in the shrine.

"I had a really good time, dad." Yui says to Uriel with a bright smile.

"I told you to stop addressing me like that. You are just a tool to me." Uriel glares to Yui with a cold voice as his eyes turn dark.

"I'm sorry lord Uriel, since you were being so kind and loving towards that boy, I thought you had accepted me." Yui says, crestfallen, while her eyes get covered by her hair strands. Glittering tears roll down from her eyes.

"You both are of same age, yet he is special compared to you, which is why I was fond of him." Uriel says without any change in expressions and disappears into thin air.
