Maina walks down the stairs to the underground prison. She stands in front of a cell. A cell with a nice cushy mattress , a nice cushy couch in the corner and a bookshelf on the left. Maina calls out " Rekuez."

The lady in the cell sits up on her bed with a cigarette " the chief is here. How can I help you ?" She asks.

Maina ; I'll help you get out of here.

Rekuez : why ? Other than I'm in a cell, I get everything I need. Other than being bored... I get food, a bed to sleep, even lousy cigarettes. Oh , and books to read time to time.

Maina : don't you want revenge ?

Rekuez: revenge ?

Maina : they killed your favourite husband. Also, don't you want to see your little girl ?

Rekuez: my little girl... You know wheres she now ?

Maina: she's a doctor now in Derich Hospital. Derich is the city of the name the Dierais built on their territory .

Rekuez: she's a doctor now... A Dierai... ? How did that happen ? I thought she escaped.

Maina: whoever told you that didn't want you asking more questions. A Dierai girl stole her and had her taken in as one of their children. Some stuff happened, she's now a doctor in a hospital.

Rekuez: I see.

Maina: I will free you, but I want you to help me take revenge. I want to kill all of them. The entire council.

Rekuez: freedom and revenge . Why me ?

Maina: because you hate them like you hate me. That's why you're in here.

Kazoku sees the sickly Keiko on the bed in their patient room " yuseke-san..."

Yuseke: thanks for the medicine. Helping to extend her life till now

Kazoku: no. We were happy to help.

Yuseke covers his face with his palm as he tries to control his tears from flowing down. "Yuseke..." Keiko stretches her hand out. He held onto her hand " Keiko..." His tears flowed down.

Keiko: it's ok... Everyone has to die... I'm just... Just leaving a little earlier...
.

Yuseke : kazoku.

Kazoku: hai ?

Yuseke : please... Call your father for me.

Kazoku: I got it.

Kurama: are you sure ?

Keiko held onto the kietsu's little hand as Arina was carrying him in her arms " kawaii."

Arina : desho ?

Keiko : too bad I got so sick... Now I'm going to die. I won't ever have a chance to have a family with Yuseke.

" Here. " Arina passes kietsu into keiko's arms " carry him for a while." Keiko rocks the baby in her arms gently.

Arina: do you want to live longer ?

Keiko : I don't know... Is that against some law ?

Arina: don't worry so much about that. If you want to live longer with Yuseke. I will make it possible. But you just want it. I can't do something you don't want. You might die.

Yuseke comes in " Keiko."

Keiko: do you want me to live longer ?

Yuseke: I want that.

Keiko nods " ok. I'll do the surgery."

Aron stretches her arm out after a long surgery. She comes out and breathes the night air " it's been so long... Haven't eaten for so long..."

Ayato: Arina-san, I've prepared food for you for after when you came out.

Arina : ayato-kun. Arigatou. That's very nice of you. What time is it now ?

Ayato : 3 am.

Arina : eh ? It's that late ? How come you're still awake ?

Ayato : kazoku told me you would be done today. I told her to go and get sleep first because of the baby. I waited for you

Arina: arigatou. You didn't have to. I would have just found something in the fridge. Kurama might have maybe left a cake or something for me.

Ayato ; Yuseke-san is also waiting so I just accompanied me.

Arina : I see... I already told him Keiko is fine.

Ayato: what do you think about fried rice ?

Arina: anything!! I'm hungry.
.
.
.
Arina starts eating the fried rice " so... I heard kazoku say you've opened a shop."

Ayato: hai. It sells yummy food that are made from herbal recipes. It combines food and herbs together.

Arina : oh ... I see... You took some pages from the books of Oriental medicine huh.

Ayato: you have some very useful books in your library.

Arina : is it earning money ?

Ayato: hai. I opened one in the nearby town. It's very popular. I'm planning to open another branch.

Arina : that's great ! I would have thought you would have gone into a job you studied for.

Ayato : architect. I'm still doing that. I secretly teleport to the city to work every morning and back every evening.

Arina: I see, kazoku made you a teleport circle .

Ayato yawns " she loves her job, I love mine."

Arina: just go sleep. You don't have to bother with me.

Ayato: then after you're done, just leave it in the sink. I'll wash up tomorrow. Then, I'll go ahead and sleep first.

Arina : um. Arigatou.

Arina places the bowl in the sink in the kitchen and leaves the room to head towards the bedroom. She yawns as she feels tired.

She reaches her room and lies into the bed . Her eyes were droopy and was close to closing as her head was on the nice comfortable pillow. When a pair of arms wrapped around her neck band waist " Arina."

" Kurama ? " She turned around to look at him and realised he was in his Yoko self. Silver hair and fox ears. " Why have you turned ? I'm tired ... I don't want that today..."

Kurama; it's the full moon. This side of me tends to like to come out more often.

Arina : oh...

Kurama: Arina, let's move back to our small cottage. The one where I planted the Arina Lantern for you in the front yard. Those are beautiful aren't they ?

Arina: why...

Kurama: have a change of pace in life ?

Arina : why.... I thought you liked being director...

Kurama: you like doing surgery.

Arina: even if we go back there, I'm still going to do surgery.

Kurama: how about none of that ? Just a peaceful happy life. Just the two of us?

Arina : .... I'm ok with that... I guess... Not opening a clinic ... But you can't stop me if people who need immediate help wants my help.

Kurama : of course.

Arina : wait... Why ? What's with this conversation ? What happened ?

" No... " He hugged her in under his chin tugged nicely " seeing Yuseke... Reminded me when I lost you. It was very hard to get you back. What if I lose you again, and the revival recipe doesn't work a second time ? I can't ... Lose you.... Just thinking of that... " He squeezes tighter.

Arina : Kurama...

Kurama: it's not like you can turn into something else to extend your life.

Arina: daijobu. I'm not in any danger now. I don't get into trouble either. We're fine. I'm fine.

" I know I overthink..." He kisses on forehead. He looks down and realises she fell asleep. " Don't worry. I won't let you get lost from me. "
