Mari was there for four months. She had finally finished cleansing the mansion.

But that was not all she got.

Takahi : so ... You're going to leave now ?

She lies down onto the nice soft grass " mission complete. Have to go home."

Takahi sat down beside her " but... I'll miss you "

Mari : don't worry. Those things won't follow you around or find you anymore. I got rid all of them.

" It's not that..." He looked over , straight hovering over her face. She blushed a deep shade of red " what... "

" Mari... Daisuki. " And he kissed her lips.

She did not reject, but accepted it.

" Welcome home." Her used to be sensei greeted while standing by the door.

Mari : arigatou !!

" You seem happy. That took so long. The mission. Took you seven months."

Mari : what ?! I did do other missions. Not only just stay there.

" I know. Didn't know it would take so long. That's all "

Mari ; Sensei. You're a Houin. You can seal anything right ?

" There are limits too. Why ?"

" Nothing ! " She just smiled back.

After he left, she touched onto her belly " daijobu. Mama is here."

" Baka . Leaving your child like that. Are you sure it's such a good idea ? " He held onto the broken plank that had words scribbled on it. " Look... What you wanted didn't happen."

Reimi: I'm back, grandpa

He turned around " oh hey. Reimi. What brings you back home ? "

Reimi It's your birthday !! Baka !! I always come back to celebrate with you. "

" right... Right. I forgot about it."

Reimi ; what are you looking at ?

" Something my friend left me." And puts it back into the drawer and closes it.

Reimi : what do you want to eat ? I'll cook.
