az: ha... this was random. Though I actually wanted to write something from the last episode.

"Don't you want any Valentine chocolates?"
"Huh? What nonsense..."
Hina snarled to herself as she continued stirring the melted chocolate mix in the mixing bowl. The nerve of Ankh... just when she wanted to do something nice to him. Especially since the other day... Ankh had been so frail, yet he acted as if there was nothing wrong with him. Regardless of the irresponsible things he did to Eiji and her, whenever real danger seemed to come near... Ankh did seem to care about their safety.
She can't be wrong. She did hear Ankh muttering to himself on how he could help Eiji fight when he noticed one of his legs was injured. And counting that time before, this was the second time Ankh had protected her. So what's the problem with her wanting to give him something in return?
Stupid Ankh, Hina mumbled softly as her eyes swerved towards the shop's entrance. And how long did Eiji wanna take to get the new ingredients? The supermarket was not that far away. Going as far as taking Ankh along...
Hina paused. Probably Eiji wanted to ask Ankh something, perhaps he did noticed something wrong with Ankh as well. What's wrong with Ankh's body? Even when he got some of his cores back, it did not look like anything really changed. Ankh even looked paler than before, Hina thought worriedly.
She shook her head as she concentrated to the chocolates. Shouldn't she be relieved instead? Even after recovering some of his cores, Ankh was not able to regenerate his body—meaning he would remain using her brother's body and not abandoning it and her brother will not die! But still...
Hina blinked her eyes hastily as she tried to wave the thought aside. They would find a way. For now, even if Ankh still possessed her brother's body, she still has her brother beside her. And Shingo always loved receiving home-made chocolates from her. So even if it was Ankh right now standing before her and not her brother, she would still give him chocolates for this year's Valentine! That's a promise!
Hina smiled as her spirit rose again and started pouring the chocolate mix into the moulds with renewed vigour.

Elsewhere, Satonaka was seething with anger as she headed towards the elevator back to the president's office. She glared at the food package she was taking along. Oden instead of the president's specially-made cakes! How dare that man! She had no qualms with oden personally but this time she had all the urge to just throw this onto that Date Akira's face!
Satonaka bit her lips. Never mind. At least the chocolate cake that the president had made just for Valentine's Day would not be wasted on him.
