Inside a thick forest, Garu and Mio were walking exhaustedly through the grass.

There's no end. How long have we been walking? [Thick fog approaches their legs] Why is there suddenly fog now? I have a bad feeling about this, and I don't like it.

[Nod] I agree, and I don't like it either.

The fog rose up, beginning to swirl in front of them. It then transforms itself into a beautiful silky black hair woman. She floats toward them and lands.

Welcome to Sooga Village! [They looked surprised and stared at her] It's rude to stare at a lady that way. Before I begin, Garu, [Point at him] I want to test your capability.

Who're you?

Didn't you hear me? Sooga Village. The place you were assigned to train and repay the honor to your leader, Lady Yasha. If you're wondering about myself, everyone calls me Lady Nell. Now, [Summon a fan in her hand] to a different world we must. [Swipe the air with her fan, transform their surroundings into stars and the Milky Way] Beautiful, right? My grandson loves the view, so this world was created just for him. You'll meet him someday.

[Pull out his katana] I want to ask something before we begin. [Lady Nell nod, showing that she listens] What would happen if I didn't pass?

No consequences, you won't be kicked out. [Smirk] Unless... [Shake her head] Nevermind.

I understand. [Bow then whisper to Mio] Don't interfere. [Mio move out of their way]

[Bow] Begin.

Garu ran toward her, facing the katana to pierce the chest, but she vanished and appeared behind him. She slaps him with her fan with no effort, sending him sliding through the ground. Lady Nell slams her fan close on her other hand and walks toward him. Garu lifts his head, trying to pull himself into a sitting position. He threw a shuriken at her but was quickly blocked by her fan. She was near him, looking down at him while he returned the look.

Her hand went directly to his shirt, lifting him in the air. The fan on her hand disappears to replace a fist, then it lands directly on his face that sent him flying. Garu gets himself together as he pulls out a johyo and lunches it at her. Lady Nell steps aside as the johyo attach itself to the ground. Garu raveled the johyo, pulling himself at her. She did nothing, only waiting to grab his feet then slam him on the ground. She let go and smiled.

You resist my attack very well. However, the real fight had just begun. [Before Garu could move, she summoned her fan again, pointing at his throat. A light shines from his throat, out and lands in her hand] I'm taking your capability of speaking. [Garu looks up with shock in his eyes, no sound is being projected from his mouth] Lady Yasha will not be pleased to find out about this. [Sigh] Oh, well. What is done is done. Listen very well Garu, I'm going to give you an ability to communicate with this person only. She'll be the one to lead you to success in training, without her, your honor will perish.

Garu still holds onto his neck and nods, understanding what he had to do. Lady Nell smiled, lifting one finger up. It lifts the two guests in the air as Lady Nell swipes the air with her hand, making them unconscious. On the other hand, she pulls out her fan and opens a portal. She threw them inside as it closed.

On a mountain, not far away from Sooga Village, Pucca drives her small motorcycle and spots someone unconscious in her path. She stopped and peered at the person, who happened to be Garu.

What a beautiful person. [Spot Mio beside him then smile] Such a great pair they make.

She was about to touch Garu's cheek when he sprinted from his slumber. His eyes were wide as he looked at his whereabouts.

W-what happened... Yes, [Quickly stand up] I remember. My voice was taken away by this... What's her name? [Later, he noticed Pucca] Who's she?

[Smile and wave] Hi, I'm Pucca.

Oh, You're Pucca.

[She stares at him strangely then quickly stands and grabs his hands] Y-you can hear me? I mean, through thoughts? Please nod your head if you can understand me. [Garu nods his head slowly] It's a miracle to find someone I can talk freely with, only through our mind. What's your name?

Garu. [Pucca jumped excitedly and planted a kiss on his cheek, making him cry and skittle away] W-why did you kiss me?

Why? [She takes some thought before answering] Because I like you. You're the most beautiful person I met, and I'm proud to have such a person to talk to.

[Blush] You think I'm beautiful?

[Walk toward him and touch his cheek with a smile] Yes, the most beautiful person...

There is this strong feeling that is pulling them together. They held each other's hands, moving their faces close enough that their lips almost touched. Deep breaths they took, feeling their own breaths. Pucca stared at his eyes while he did in return, the most passionate they felt. They close their eyes as they move closer when...

[Cough] Sorry to interrupt the perfect moment, [The couple holds still of their positions] but the sun is going down. I don't want to spend another night in the wilderness. [Garu calmly moves away and picks him] I know that woman took your voice and it'll be hard for us to...communicate. Hey, girl. [Pucca turned her head at him without showing any disbelief] Do you know Sooga Village? We're supposed to go and live there, it'll be our new home. [Pucca points behind her, showing a village down the mountain] Oh. That'll be a long walk.

[Shook his head] I couldn't agree more.

Would you want to come? [Garu gives her a confusing look] Sooga Village, I'm from there. I can drive you guys on my motorcycle.

Sure.

If you're hungry, I can take you guys to my uncles' restaurant. They made the best noodles.

Great, I'm tired of eating dry meat.

Pucca grabs her motorcycle and drives toward them, which makes them amaze. The way she parks had them stunned. They get on as she throttles the handlebar before driving it to the village. As they drove through Sooga Village, it was unbelievable, the construction is huge. The building is built in old style but high-tech. It was like from a fantasy book that had no existence in reality.

What do you think of Sooga Village?

It's more than I thought. Living here isn't bad, my training should—

[She hit the break and turned around] Training? Can I come over and watch you when you're training, no, maybe at any time? Please Garu, please. [Grab Garu hand]

[Blush] Umm... Sure...

[Smile] You're so kind. I hope we can get along in the near future. [Began to rub his hand as she lift it on one of her cheeks]

This strong sensation again, that made them unable to resist. Garu begins to get into a daze as he gazes at Pucca eyes, she was more beautiful than anything he could compare. The same goes for Pucca, never would she ever have felt anything like this. Pucca touched his face while the other still held onto his hand.

Okay, you two. [Climb down from Garu head, staying between them] I don't know what's going on, but we're in public. Have some dignity, there are children watching. What's worse, you two are children yourself. [Their face turns red as Pucca slowly moves her hand away while Garu does the same, looking away. Pucca continues driving while he leans to have a low conversation with Garu] I'm sorry to speak in public again. A normal cat shouldn't talk, sorry. [Garu pat his head to calm his worry]

Not far from the scenery, Abyo and Ching saw what happened from the start.

[Chuckle] Okay, I'm so going to tease her about this.

Stop it, Abyo. Pucca will beat you if you don't stop.

I will like to see if she dare— [He took a step and trip into a mud puddle]

Ching shook her head in disappointment, the boy she loves and adores love getting himself into trouble. Look into the distance of Pucca, she knows where the direction they are heading, and it leads straight to the Goh-Rong. In a quick act, she clasps her arms around Abyo's arm and pulls him to his feet.

Hurry, Abyo. [Pulling him to a running state] We can meet the new guy if we're able to catch up. I know a shortcut to get there quicker. [Pulling them through an alley]

Dada went to the back of the Goh-Rong, but later, he spotted both Ching and Abyo hoping off from the wall. When the two landed they made eye contact with Dada. The three had an awkward silence when Dada slowly back away to the restaurant then began to run. Before he could reach the door, his foot stumbled into a bucket and fell backward. The two gave a painful cry as he fell unconscious.

[Give a pitiful look] Should we...

No. [Swing his arms at any agreement with her] We should go back where we came from and think we never saw anything.

Ching glared at him, making him groan at her idea. He had no choice but to carry Dada on his back. She opened the door to the kitchen when they saw Pucca three uncles, they were cooking and were paying them no attention. Unsure what to do, they carry Dada out from the kitchen and bypass the crowds in the restaurant. Everyone didn't notice them as they made their way to the stairs. When they reach the top, they try to look for Pucca until Ching spots her, dragging the Garu to a table. She pulled Abyo sleeve, pointing to the crowd. Sadly for him, he couldn't see where she was pointing. He moves closer to the edge of the railing without knowing that Dada slowly slips from his back. In a strange turn of events, he slips from Abyo.

[Eyes grew wide when she noticed Dada was falling] Oh my gosh, you drop Dada!

The scream she projected made the people look up, and they screamed along with her as they saw Dada falling. Pucca looks around herself before looking up and spots him. Using her strength, she kicks herself off from the floor and catches him. The air pressure causes both Garu and Mio hair spike as they sit in shock. Came falling down, she landed on the floor, hard, that it completely wiped the whole floor. People were groaning in pain from the pressure. Pucca stood and faced up, glaring at Ching and Abyo while they hid behind the railing.

Ambulances and construction workers were coming in and out of the Goh-Rong, as for the chefs, they had no choice to close their restaurant for the day. On the second floor, Ching and Abyo face their head down onto the table from the ignominy. As for Garu and Mio's side, they are in an extremely shocked state from what they just saw. The four sit on the table that Pucca had preserved.

Pucca, we were... [Take a quick glance at Garu from Abyo side] ...trying to get to the Goh-Rong by taking a shortcut, but we manage to knock him out

Knock him out? He knocks himself out if you know what I mean. [He began to chuckle but immediately stopped when he saw a dark shadow rose behind Pucca. He coughs and faces a different direction] I mean, we were trying to bring him inside. Being helpful and all.

And it wouldn't have happened if we wouldn't be too curious... [Blush then leaned toward Pucca] We were curious of that boy you were flocking over on the street. You two, are you two in that kind of relationship? Abyo and I saw you two while shopping. [Garu ear drops a bit as he blushes onward on Mio] We have been friends since...as a baby, and I want to know if you two are in that kind of relationship.

[Stand up] Is he your boyfriend? [Ching elbow punch his stomach that makes him crack his voice] Can you stop hitting me.

[Whisper to him] It's rude.

[Whisper back] I'm speaking the fact.

[Ignore them and focus his attention on Pucca] They sound like two old married couples.

I couldn't agree more, imagine their wedding in a couple of few years.

It felt like talking to your parents about...

Marriage?

Garu felt uncomfortable about this conversation while Pucca felt amazed, wondering what would happen if they were a couple. Somehow, Garu detected the information from her mind, and quickly gave her a serious glare. Pucca chuckles at how serious he was from just a silly imagination about them being together.

Stop, please. I don't want to remember.

Sorry, sorry. I never felt like this before, and you're the first. [Garu became redder than before]

In the Sooga Hospital, Dada opens his eyes then looks around his surroundings. After he went unconscious... Did someone bring him to the hospital? Maybe his injury was too much that the chefs are kind enough to take him to a hospital. No, they would do no such thing. Sitting on his bed, Dada could see that almost the whole village was here. There must be a huge accident, but what type of accident.

[Spot a nurse walk by] Excuse me, nurse. Can I ask you something?

Yes, what is it?

Why's the hospital pack?

[Take a few thoughts before answering] If I remember clearly, Pucca damages the restaurant with everyone in there. The reason why this incident existed was that she tried to save someone from falling...but we don't know who. [Dada went completely pale while knowing who she was referring to] Don't worry, no one died. Only a few broken bones.

Oh...I see...

The nurse bows and leaves. He takes a deep breath then holds it when he hears a loud racket from the entrance. He moves his eyes to peer at the door when he feels like he knows that person. She turns her face, showing herself clearly that this person is Ring Ring.

Are you saying that I can't enter here?

He chokes on his own breath and hurry onto the floor then began crawling through the wounded. Dada begs himself to be safe from the sight out of her but was lucky enough when he was lifted from the back of his shirt. It was Ring Ring butler, James. James faces him at Ring Ring, making him feel humiliated.

Where do you think you're going, busboy. [Pull Dada shirt toward her and whisper] I heard Pucca has a boyfriend, and you're going to help me. I don't care if you like it or not. [Push Dada back]

[Came running into the room] Young miss, you can't take a patient without—

You shut your mouth!

The doctor and including the nurse held themselves back, letting them leave the hospital. James threw Dada inside the hummer limo then Ring Ring stepped inside. They drive off to the Goh-Rong.

Up through the cloud exists Cloud Palace, wherein a dark room exists a secret meeting of Master Soo and his Honorable Mother.

Listen Soo, I want you to go down to the Goh-Rong and meet a boy called Garu. He's assigned to stay in this village to repay his honor. His voice is sealed, so I want you to make an excuse like; 'he's vow of silence.' That'll be less suspicious during his stay. Do you understand?

[Bow] I understand honorable mother, I'll do as you say.

She watches her son leave the room before touring herself through the Cloud Palace. She made her way to the top of the palace. At the top hid a room, a transportation room that was only transported to one place. She steps onto the stone then her body fades. It took her to a secret garden below from the garden house nearby the Cloud Palace. From where she was standing stood a pure white tree. The tree itself is called the Soulless tree.

Inside the hummer limo, Dada felt awkward while sitting across from Ring Ring. She was taping her fingers on the seat while staring at the window and partially at him. The silence was long when she sat beside him and crossed her legs.

I heard that Pucca has a boyfriend and you better tell me all about it. [She noticed Dada was frigid and not listened to anything she was saying. Out of anger, she pulls him toward her] Are you even listening? You better listen or I'll rip your eyes out. [The hummer limo put into a stop, which makes them collide each other]

[Open the door] We're here milady. [Saw that Ring Ring was on top of Dada] Sorry for the intrusion. [About to close the door]

[Grab hold of the door] Don't you dare James! [James let go of the door while she stumbles out and organizes herself] Are you sure Pucca is still here?

[Bionic eyes zoom and x-ray through the building then spots four preteens surrounding a table] Positive. At the second floor nearby from the entrance to the right, five feet away from the wall. [Drag Dada out]

Thanks, James. Don't you dare let anything harm that busboy. [Glare] If anything were to happen, I'll replace you.

Ring Ring closes her eyes and suddenly her clothes transform into a red pein fu. There's pain on her face when six red marks appear.

The group was having their conversation when suddenly a chunk of blue hair burst through the wall. Everyone dodges from the hair as it smashes onto the table, but it quickly flicks Garu and Abyo outside with the rubbles. The girls, including Mio, run toward the broken wall and see Ring Ring fully transform. Their eyes meet. Ring Ring uses her hair to pull herself up there.

Hello, Pucca and... [Peer at Ching] Peasant. [Take a few steps toward Pucca] I heard that you have a boyfriend. The whole village kept talking about it nonstop. So... Where is he?

What do you want, Ring Ring?

Like I say, [Use her sleeves to flick Ching to the first floor] I came here to meet Pucca boyfriend!

Ring Ring runs toward Pucca and jumps in the air to smash her sleeves onto her, but Pucca quickly dodge. She leaps in front of Ring Ring, giving her a knee kick to the left side of her face. As she was about to go down she holds onto Pucca, dragging them both to the floor, breaking right through the first floor. It leads them landing in front of a construction worker. He had just finished painting the floor that was again damaged.

Damn, I just fixed that! [Threw the paintbrush into the bucket]
