Chapter 63 - Explanation

''What the hell is going on!? What are you now!''. Aira shouts.

''Please do refrain from screaming miss Shiratori''. Tick asks.

''Aira shhh! Wait I'll explain don't shout''. Togata replies.

''You want me not to shout when you tried to kill me!? And you sliced up my hair!''. Aira basically screams.

Togata covers her mouth with his hand. ''Just....quiet, let me explain''. 

Aira bites his hand. ''OW! What the!?''. Togata shouts.

''Don't you ever touch my mouth again, fine, I'm listening explain''. Aira says arms crossed.

''I....It's about how I got out of the space ship, the thing is....Aira...I died at my house...''. Togata explains.

''Huh!?''. Aira says.

''Yeah....Then, in order to come back I...Made a deal with Death??''. Togata says.

''What do you mean death?''. Aira asks.

''I mean...Like, Death, the spirit...''. Togata says.

''DEATH!?''. Aira shouts.

''SHH!''. Togata and Tick say.

''Are you stupid!? Why the hell would you make a deal with a demon!? Is it your pass time to make deals with mysterious spirits or what!?''. Aira scolds.

''Yeah, I know it was dumb, but I had to come back, now I have these nightmares and if I sleep at all....This happens, If I sleep, he can get control and I even almost killed...I almost killed Chiquitita''. Togata explains.

''YOU ALMOST KILLED CHIQUITITA!?''. Aira shouts as she jumps unto him choking him on the ground

''Miss Shiratori!''. Tick shouts as he tries to pull her off him.

''I'm....Sorry, he's alright! I didn't injure him!''. Togata basically coughs out as Aira chokes him.

''How could you even do that to someone that precious you damn murderer!''. Aira shouts.

Tick manages to pull Aira off him. Togata pants catching his breath.

''He's Ok! I managed to wake up!''. Togata explains.

''Managed?! Uh uh!? I'm going to tell Momo!". Aira shouts.

''No stop!''. Togata says as he grabs her, but she resists, the two wrestling.

''Please no. I don't want anyone to worry. Okarun is still in critical condition and we have an alien invasion to deal with, not to mention Ms Seiko isn't here in the first place. We don't have time to try to exorcise me''. Togata explains.

Aira stops, realizing what he means. ''Fine, then what's the plan, what are you going to do''. Aira asks.

''I guess, for now, try to control this power, the aliens are strong, I can't pretend like it's not useful, I want to learn to use it correctly, my way, and I'll need your help...''. Togata says.

''Use it? Are you crazy!?''. Aira says.

''You faced them, you know we need all the manpower we can get''. Togata says.

''Ugh...! Like we didn't have enough problems already! Fine...On one condition, beg and call me leader from now on''. Aira says with pride.

''Do you have no shame Miss Shiratori! He already asked as humbly as possible! The young master is suffering!''. Tick shouts.

Togata bows a knee to the ground as he asks. ''I'm sorry leader, I need your help, really''. Togata asks.

''Young master!''. Tick cries as though Togata just gave up his dignity.

''Huh? That was quick? And pathetic, I kind of feel sorry for you''. Aira sighs. ''You do look horrible, makes sense since you haven't gotten any sleep. Fine get up, plus it looks like you're proposing or something we'll work on your begging technique later''.

''Thanks, I owe you one Aira''. Togata sighs.

''Eh ehm''. Aira says clearing her throat.

''Leader''. Togata says correcting himself.

''Yeah, you do. We can start immediately, tomorrow we won't have time, everyone will be up and we'll have to train together, c'mon, transform''. Aira says.

''Are you sure?''. Togata asks.

''Yeah, When you went full puppet mode earlier you're movements were predictable, if you keep that up it won't be a problem to keep you in check. I managed to beat you before, I'll do it again, I am leader after all''. Aira says with pride as she transforms.

''I'll be here to aid her of course, go ahead young master''. Tick says.

''Ok, first tie me up I want to make sure I don't hurt anyone''. Togata says.

Aira ties him up with her hair restraining his hands as Tick stands ready.

''Wait young master, it seems this new power takes life force as well''. Tick says as he hands him some remaining chocolate.

Togata takes a bite as his hair returns to blue.

''Ready young master?''. Tick asks.

Togata takes a breath as he closes his eyes and focuses then...Nothing happens.

''Huh!? What are you doing transform!''. Aira says.

''I uhh, can't, I don't think I know how to''. Togata says.

''You what?''. Tick and Aira say.

''Ugh how useless can you be? How did you do it before! On the space ship?''. Aira asks.

''I didn't it just, turned on, I don't know how to activate it''. Togata explains.

Aira sighs. ''Well? figure it out''.

''Young master, I believe I have a solution, When I checked you're memories, the first time you transformed I felt something, an emotion, maybe triggering the transformation''. Tick says as he begins to whisper something into his ear.

Togata sighs. ''That's nice''. 

''Uh, why are you whispering? Don't want me to know or what? I am helping you, you know?''. Aira says.

''No. Not that at all Miss Shiratori, It's just that, it's a bit ugly''. Tick explains as he backs off. 

''What? What is it, what do you need to do to transform?''. Aira asks.

''I need to...Let's just say I need to think some not so good thoughts''. Togata says.

Togata focuses as he breathes out that sound comes back, the hum of crying souls as he transforms, as his cloak forms around him.
