I was badly injured. Inugami wants Mike killed like the tragedy before so I put my life on line to protect him this time. Zange is physically and mentally worn out because of too much usage of his foreseeing powers. He said that it was just fatigue but we all know that there's so much more. Roromiya-chan is fine. Watanuki finally made it. He protected her with all his might saying he's finally grown into a strong delinquent. The rest is good and their injuries were not just as bad. Miketsukami felt useless because of what happened to me but I don't care. What's important now is we'll be together this time. I felt so happy. I love him. I really do. Always and I will, forever.
I woke up in an hospital room. I recognized the hospital and learned that is was the one located near our house so that means, I am home. The last memory I have is that I lost my consciousness after the fight. I was covered with blood that all of them even thought I will die. Soushi stayed by my side drenched with my blood all over him. As I lay down, he buried his face on my neck, sobbing. He kept on saying, "I love you Miss Ririchiyo. Please don't leave me." I placed my hand on the top of his head and whispered in his ear, "It doesn't matter if it is the previous or present Miketsukami. I love you not as the previous' substitute. I love you as Miketsukami. I love you. I won't leave you."
"I'm so proud of you." A voice came from a woman. It was my mother. She entered the room and together with some of my maids, brought everything I might need. My maids brought my breakfast to bed and assisted me as I sit on the bed. "Why is that?" I asked mom. She smiled. She sat beside me and got my bandages refreshed. My wounds are deep. I am so pale. It must be that I lost a lot of blood. "You made past of it. You are supposed to be dead right after the night parade, you know?" I was surprised by her answer. So she knew all along. I can't move both my arms so Mom did all the work. She told me how I was reborn all over again everytime I die. She kept dates and concluded that I always die at the age 15 every night parade.
"My bethrothed is dead." I looked at her eyes as I tell her. It was something I learned from Mike. Talking to someone while looking at their eyes. She just looked at me. Maybe a little startled of what I just did. "It's alright. He'll be born again." She answered while gesturing my maids to put away my the plates I used for breakfast. "Will I be his fiance' again?" I asked. I wonder if they'll consider my feelings for Miketsukami this time. "No. Your Dad and I know about you and Miketsukami-kun." She breathed. "Kun? Aren't you against us?" I asked. "He is the reason why you became this strong and your courage is from your willingness to protect him and to bein with him. I see no reason to be against your love." She answered without even thinking. After a while, I am so relieved.
I was left alone in my hospital room again. They made sure that I can get all the rest I'll need. Mom gave me a box before leaving. She said it was mine for a very long time. I opened it and it was full of letters! The letters are grouped. 3 groups. But they were all about Mike. So I loved him all the time! Every life I lived, he was there and I loved him. The first group is that I realized how much I love him right before I died. The second group is the previous life I had. Our love made it until we are dating before we died. The third group is- wait. It's not my handwriting. It was Soushi's! The date was four days ago. I'm still unconscious that time. He told me to get well so I could go back to Ayakashikan again. He tells me how much he missed me and how I made him happy with the last words I spoke to him.
Weeks passed and I was finally able to go home. I can move a lot now but can't walk for hours. It was due to the long confinement in the hospital so I got used on staying in bed. Miketsukami wrote me letters every week. He tells me about how they are doing. He said that Watanuki and Roro-chan has started dating. Zange is a lot better and started playing games again. He was a cheerful person so it's obvious. Nobara-chan is still the same. Yelling maniac everytime she sees cute girls. I wrote him back. I wrote about how my parents changed the way they look at us and how I miss all of them. My injuries and wounds just healed so it still might take time for me to go back.
It's a little bit sad. I spend my 16th birthday at home. My little sisters greeted me cheerfully as I received presents. Such thoughtful sisters. I hope they grow attached to other people. Unlike the way I grew, I had to use haughty words because of my loss of confidence to myself. I'm so detached but not until I met Mike. He gave me lessons to improve my communicating skills. My Father hugged me. "You've grown so much!" He said. Dad is actually the same as me. We don't know how to expose ourselves so we end up fighting, not knowing what right words to use. Oh, and I really did grow! It was obvious. I made four inches. I wonder if I can reach Mike's chin.
My parents made me stay for another month but Mike and I continued exchanging letters. He says that when I go back, he'll be my SS guard again and I will not be able to stop him. With or without contract, he's willing to serve me no matter what. I am ready to go. My things were all packed up and my maids were making all the arrangements in the terms of my transportation. I am able to be friends with them. They appeared to be frightened at first but they got friendlier with me after some time. They started having conversations with me and laugh easily with me. Thank you Miketsukami. You helped me a lot. I've changed a lot after meeting and falling inlove with you. I stepped in the car. I can see my parents and siblings waving goodbye to me. I'm coming.
