Kokai sat by the wooden platform. He sat beside her " bothered by yesterday? "

Kokai:.... Maybe it's better for you to return.

Ryuji: why?

Kokai: I don't know... I've got a feeling soon the yokais will ask me to get married.

Ryuji: you don't want to?

Kokai: its... Too fast. I like it just like that.

Ryuji: are you scared of your family.

Kokai: I don't know... I guess...

Ryuji: kokai. You have to believe me that...

Kokai: you can protect me. You can now Ryuji. I believe so. You've improved so much since the last time.

Ryuji: don't patronize me.

Kokai: I don't lie about things like that. It's stupid and dangerous.

He pats her head and brings her head to lean on his chest " Kokai... Aishteru... "

Ruu: have you thought if he is the right guy?

Kokai: we're not talking about this ruu.

Ruu: we have to. It's a tradition. Just like how yoru-sama did it.

Kokai: you guys forced him?

Ruu: of course. He was delaying it for so many centuries already. We had to force him once he found you. What if you slipped away?

Kokai: aww... I'm important. No. Don't rush this. I'm a yokai too. Remember that.

Ruu: human too. You will have hesitations.

Kokai: this has nothing to do with it!! What stupid tradition anyway.

Ruu: to have someone take over the place. A successor, heir. Except... That didn't succeed...

Kokai: gomen....

Ruu: We had to pass that power to nura clan to help us decide the next master. We... Didn't expect it to be you.

Kokai: oh...

Ruu: why did you even leave after the ceremony?

Kokai: yoru asked me to. He said he didn't want me to get involved in that yokai world. I'm a human.

Ruu: yoru-sama was always kind.

Kokai: um. That's why I met him. He protected me, an omnyoji.

Ruu: yoru-sama...

Someone barged through the door. Ruu came running behind this lady " gomenasai kokai-sama. "

Kokai: what do you want?

Ruu: kokai-sama... You know her?

Kokai: its ok.

" hai. " ruu retreats and leaves.

Kokai: it's for ryuji isn't it? Ritsu.

Ritsu: I'm glad you know. Tsk why didn't you let go of him?

Kokai: I didn't ask him to come save me.

Ritsu: I'm pretty sure you told him where you are through that yokai friend of yours.

Kokai: I didn't. You destroyed my barrier. You're not bad. Did you improve?

Ritsu: I've always been this good with barriers. The one I set for you in that house is also by me.

Kokai: I didn't do anything.

Ritsu: stop lying.

Kokai: what can I do then will you believe me?

" die and I'll believe you. Ryuji... Is mine. " ritsu threw seals at kokai. She dodged it and retreats in steps " I don't want to fight. "

Ritsu: don't be arrogant. You yokai.

Kokai: if I let you hit me, will you leave me alone?

Ritsu: probably.

So kokai let ritsu attack her with a thousand seals wrapping around her. Kokai screamed as it burns her.

Ritsu: bye bye.

At this time a liquid lily floated around the area. It burns the seals around kokai and she pants heavily on the floor.

Ritsu: this shikigami.... *turns around*

Ryuji: what are you trying to do?

Ritsu: she's a yokai. You belong with me. A human. An omnyoji.

Kokai:..... Can you not take him away?

He walked towards Kokai and carried her in his arms " daijobu? "

Kokai: maybe I'll die before you. Weirdly even though I'm a yokai.

Ryuji: baka. I won't let you.

Ritsu: move away. She needs to be exterminated. Have you forgotten your job?

Ryuji: urusei. It's to destroy yokais isn't it? I remember.

Ritsu: exactly.

Ryuji: it's true I've been hesitating. She's a yokai yet I haven't killed her. What have I been doing?

" exactly Ryuji. That's why... " ritsu shoots some more seals directing at kokai. Ryuji turns his back and takes the attack. He screams.

Kokai: ryuji!! It's ok. I can take the hit. Just leave.

Ryuji: I'm supposed to protect you. Baka.

Ritsu: what the... Why?!!! She's a yokai!! You agreed with me didn't you?!! I'm just helping you to do what you couldn't.

Ryuji: I love Kokai. She's... A good yokai. I kill yokais. I never forgot. Bad yokais.

Ritsu: what crazy things are you talking about...

Ryuji: don't look for me. I'm never returning.

Ritsu: then how about our marriage?

Ryuji: we're married.

Kokai:.... *blush * Ryuji... What are you talking about...?

Ritsu: liar!!!

Ryuji: well we're doing it tonight. There's no difference.
