Kazuki lied unconscious in a dark unknown world. He rose up on his feet to wonder where he was. A group of apparitions of dead sorcerers started to surround him.

"You belong here Shikimori alongside us." One ghost taunted. "The outside world is cruel to you." Second ghost teased. "You no longer have the live there anymore." Third ghost mocked. "Yes, so accept your fate peacefully boy, and join us in the afterlife. You'd make a perfect member for our world."

"No…leave me alone. Stay back!" Kazuki shouted fighting the urge to live.

Moments later Kazuki woke up in a hospital bed. "So you're finally awake?" Shino Akai asked. Shino sat down looking at Kazuki's condition on her clipboard. "Dr. Akai. Where am I?" Kazuki asked confused.

"Don't you remember Shikimori. This was cause by a violent external shock from being blasted with a powerful magic attack?" she reminded. "Unfortunately that attack with so powerful it was nearly life threatening. It could have killed you. Be thankful for your strong will because no ordinary magic user could have survived that attack, not even the greatest magician in the world. As the original was badly hurt the other clones of yours had begin to fade away."

"Rather than killing you it put you in coma for a long time. You have been out for a while Shikimori." Shino said.

"How long?" he asked curiosity

"Two years in the latest." She answered.

Kazuki was frozen as he was at a loss for words over his situation.

"So I was gone for that long huh?" he replied.

"Indeed, however your classmates were really worried about you as you were in a deep sleep. Even the dorm manager still sends you flowers." Shino said.

"Really, but I have my doubts." He replied.

"I'm serious; your classmates sent you a get well cards after the accident to apologize for all the hell they have been put you through." She said. Kazuki saw the flowers and read a get well card from his classmates as it read Get Well cards.

"They never change." Kazuki said.

"Two years have passed to you as well Shikimori your hair had grown." Shino said. Kazuki felt his hair on his head. He noticed that it had grew some and even covered up one eye.

"Where are the girls by the way?" Kazuki asked.

"Rin is still attending school as a third year student, Kuriko had graduated some time ago, and Yuna went back to her home town, but it is the summer so school is not in session at the moment." Shino said.

Meanwhile Kuriko got out of the shower to answer her phone.

"Yes, this better be important." She answered. "What, he has awakened? Hold on I'll be right there!" she barked. She rushed to put on her clothes.

"Come on Kuriko, you shouldn't rush after all Shikimori just woke up. You don't want to spook him too much." Elizabeth reminded.

"I know that, but still. He's finally awakened after all these years." Kuriko replied with a smile.

In the meantime, Rin practiced on her sword swings nonstop at the fields hoping to improve her skills for her big brother's sake.

"Shunji, have I improved for?" she asked herself. "Well, you have been practicing a lot." Kuriko said. Kuriko approached Rin in a kind matter.

"It's been a while hasn't it?' Kuriko asked.

"Yes, it sure has. I have heard about Shikimori's waking up from his long coma. I would have figured that you would be the first to go to him and tell anyone else about it." Rin suspected.

"Oh how the time flies by?" Kuriko wondered sarcastically. "With that being said, how about we go greet him? Rin nodded her head.

"Now Shikimori, Open -wide!" Shino ordered checking Kazuki's condition. She examined his mouth for fevers. "Seems like your all clear Shikimori." Shino said.

"Well, well, well, look whose back from the dead." Kuriko teased. "I see you have regain consciousness at long least." Rin said. Kuriko and Rin arrived in the hospital room Kazuki was staying. "It's good to see you again Kuriko and Rin. You two are looking well." Kazuki greeted.

"That's funny; I thought Yuna would be with you girls." Kazuki guessed.

"Ever since your accident we haven't had contact with her since. We have not spoken in a while. Where she is we don't know." Kuriko said.

"But I don't understand, why did she leave, I doubt it was for vacation reasons." Kazuki asked.

"Don't you remember Shikimori, you got hurt?" Rin asked.

"Let me remind you then. Two years ago you helped out a new teacher on campus being the perfect gentlemen, and then the whole class 2-b was at an uproar thinking you're now going for older women. They were more determined to get your genes no matter what situation had fallen. Yuna had caught you and she completely lost it. Although her overwhelming jealously was kinda cute, however; it also got the best of her. So she punished you with a powerful magic attack that blew the whole school away. Many were hurt, but not too badly just knocked out. You on the other hand were more hurt than anybody else buried in rubble." Kuriko explained.

"Yuna was angry yes, but then when she found you injured that angry and jealously it had begin to fade away. All three of us rushed you to the nurse's office." Rin said.

"When Dr. Akai found out that about your terrible condition, you were transferred to the hospital. The doctors were able to tend to your wounds, but you were already in a deep sleep soon after. That's when you fell into a coma." Kuriko continued.

"Yuna had made lots visits after school to see if you were better and hoping you'd wake up soon." Kuriko said.

"Go home Mrs. Miyama, and get some rest." Dr Akai ordered placing her hand on Yuna's shoulder.

"No, I'm staying here by Kazuki's side." Yuna defended.

"You know well that's not allowed, and besides you have school in the morning." Dr Akai reminded. Yuna rose up and walked out of the room with her head down.

"She had crossed the line using high powered magic; surely her actions didn't go unpunished. Her along with everyone in 2-B was ordered to clean up after the incident. We even scolded her over the situation." Rin scuffed.

"Yeah and however we ended up suffering s well when we clearly had no part in this which really wasn't fair." Kuriko continued explain.

"Your actions today were simply unforgivable." Rin snapped.

"I know, being jealous is one thing, but being so greedy and monopolizing is something a good woman wouldn't do. You could have killed Kazuki!" Kuriko lectured.

"I'm sorry…" Yuna apologized.

"Sorry isn't going to cut it. I never imagine that you would go this far for Kazuki. You're unbelievable." Kuriko shouted.

"I am Kazuki's wife, so off course I would go far for him." Yuna said.

Rin sighed in disappointment. "That is your excuse for everything, but when it comes to Shikimori with another girl aside from me and Kuriko. You simply lose yourself."

Yuna held her head down in shame after Rin's comment. "Am I really that much of a burden to Kazuki? Has he just been putting up with me this whole time?" she then remembered the times when she always got close to Kazuki without worrying how he feels.

"I guess I was only thinking of my own happiness I completely disregarded Kazuki's all this time. That I became selfish about it, and I end up hurting Kazuki for it, even with that long awaited promise. I was only thinking of myself." Yuna said.

"After that her visits in the hospital had stopped coming, and we became so preoccupied with our own work that we barely had time to visit of regular occasions." Kuriko continued to explain.

"Where she is now is unknown to us." Kuriko concluded.

"I see, and then it's alright then." Kazuki said.

"What are you saying it's alright? You could have been killed, and you have the nerve to hide your pain behind a smile after Yuna's reckless actions. If you have forgotten she is the one who put you in here in the first place. You're lucky you're not in your grave!" Rin shouted.

Rin took a breather to calm down. Kuriko placed her hand on Rin's shoulder to calm her down. "Please forgive me, I didn't mean to snap at you like this. After all you just woke up." Rin apologized.

The nurse came in for Kazuki's checkup. "I'm sorry, but I'm going to have to ask you to scoot. We need to do more medical examination." The nurse said. The two beautiful girls took their leave.

"Get well soon Kazuki." Kuriko said.

"We will be back to see you again. Don't overexert yourself." Rin said.
