It had been 5 months since their relationship had been announced to their classmates. Konoka and Setsuna were happy and were bound to one another.

It wasn't until beginning of the fall season that both Konoka and Setsuna received bad news.

"I am sorry, Konoka but your grandfather is very sick" said Enshin, Konoka's father. He had traveled from Kyoto to the school to take care of the school until Konoemon recovers.

"Daddy, Is he going to be Ok?" Konoka said worriedly, she had tears in her eyes and Setsuna could only wiped them off and support her.

"Is there anything I could do, sir?" Setsuna said offering anything that could do any help.

"All we could do is wait," Enshin said. He looked at Konoka and said "You can see him if you wish too"

"Thanks," Konoka walked and looked at Setsuna, "Go ahead," Setsuna gave her girlfriend a smile and let go of hand.

Enshin sighed and looked at Setsuna, "I am so glad that your by her side, if you weren't it would probably been worst...thank you." Enshin said, he put his hand on Setsuna's shoulder and all Setsuna could say, "I don't want to see her suffer, I hope that Konoemon gets better."

------------------

"Grandpa?" Konoka whispers as she goes in the room, her grandfather lay on his bed breathing heavily. She held her tears and walked to his side, Konoka then placed her hand on top of his and said, "Grandpa, everything will be alright"

Konoemon didn't respond, he had been sick for a couple of day and was now feverish to the extreme. She didn't know what the cause of her grandfather sudden sickness but she hoped that he would get better. Konoka sat there wishing that he would one his eyes but nothing. The room was silent and still.

------------------

"Where is Konoka?" Asuna asked Negi, who was looking over paper's in their room. "Konoka and Setsuna are visiting Konoemon whose sick at the moment," Negi said looking checking his classmate homework.

"Oh that old geezer is sick? I didn't know that," sighing Asuna, she knew that thanks to Konoemon she was in school but that man always try to get what he wanted; Specially, trying to force Konoka and Setsuna to have a child. "Well, I feel bad for them. I'm going to pass by there and check on them," Negi said put the last piece of paper on the stack beside him, "do you want to come?"

"Yea, I guess. There's nothing much to do," Asuna said as she sat beside Negi. "Really?" Negi placed his hand on Asuna's back and Asuna looked at him. They both gazed at one another and they kissed.

----------------

Two days passed since Negi and Asuna visited Konoemon.

"SECCHAN!! Hurry up!!" Konoka yelled from the end of the hall. Setsuna noticed and rushed to her lover. "There they go," said one their classmates. "I wish I was in love," another said. Setsuna blushed at the comments made by her classmates.

Breathing heavily Setsuna said "I...I'm here." Konoka grabbed Setsuna's hand giving Setsuna a pink shade on her cheeks. Konoka smiled and said "Grandpa is waiting for us"

They both entered the room and there he was, the recovered Konoemon, whose eyes gazed on the couple. Setsuna bowed, as for Konoka went up to him to hug him. "I am glad that your better" Setsuna said looking at Konoemon. He smiled at Setsuna, but the smiled disappeared when he asked, "have you two found a way to give me an heir?"

Konoka wasn't expecting for her grandfather to talk about that yet. "No, grandpa not yet"

Konoka headed to Setsuna and stood beside her, "we still trying to find a way, even my brother Zetsuji has notify me with no luck." Setsuna said honestly to Konoemon. She wanted to be married to Konoka and have a kid with her eventually, but she didn't know how two girls could.

"I see, it will leave me no choice but to cancel your engagement," Konoemon said firmly.

"EHH???" Both Konoka and Setsuna said surprised. "But sir, I promised you that I'll do anything... but don't separate me from Kono-chan" Setsuna said trying to reason with Konoemon.

Konoka herself felt the same and she grabs Setsuna's hand again and squeeze, "Please grandfather give more time, we're still young...we have time to think about children later"

Konoemon face darkens and says, "You maybe have time, but I don't... I noticed that when I was sick, I want to see my great grand child before I die."

Surprised at what he said, Konoka looked at him and said "Grandpa, you won't die for a long time. So don't worry about it"

Setsuna smiled at him and said "You'll have enough time to teach them and have fun with them."

But that wasn't enough for Konoemon, he need proof that they would be able to conceive. He didn't care how, he just wanted to know that it was a child from Konoka and Setsuna. He sighed.

"I'll give you one month to find a way or else I won't allow your engagement to continue," Konoemon said turning around, not facing the girls, "you may leave."

Setsuna said "but one month is not enough time, sir"

"Setsuna, I will not repeat myself," Konoemon said, his voice became cold, "do you want me to cancel your engagement now?"

Setsuna's eyes widen and she grips her other hand, "No Sir"

Konoka saw the resignation on her lovers face; she knew that once her grandfather makes his mind up that's how it must go.

Konoka and Setsuna left the room; outside they both looked at each other trying to compute what was happening.

"Kono-chan, I promise that we will be together forever," Setsuna said sadden, Konoka felt as if Setsuna was crying in the inside. "I know we'll find away" Konoka dug herself in Setsuna's arm and Setsuna felt tears penetrating her shirt.
