Placed a couple years after where the manga is ongoing. Havi and Val have found a way to control the demon, but because Val had used the power and let it nearly control him completely multiple times, if they were to vanquish the demon from Val, he'd die. So the demon now lives unshackled within Val, and they live a somewhat peaceful life. And Val has come to terms with his love and relationship with Havi. They still move around searching for the 'priceless items' that Havi loves so much, and Val has gotten much better at sword fighting. Ruruka still travels with them, and Havi and Ruruka get along as well as ever.

A Library Visit

"Havi, we're supposed to be looking for books on Ruruka's species. Not magic!" Val said, slightly irritated that Havi's ever present habits were once again making things difficult. Val was standing in front of a large bookshelf that covered the entire wall, and probably held the at least a couple hundred books.

"Maybe some magic recipes for Bunny Stew will fix the problem." Havi replied to Val's complaints with his usual smirk. When it came to Ruruka, they didn't always agree on 'proper treatment'. Not to mention the fact that Havi was pissed for what had happened that morning. Havi still had three lingering veins popping from his forehead.

"What are you doing? I don't wanna be here!" Ruruka's little bunny head looked out of the Val's bag and watched Val try to redirect Havi's attention from the cooking and magic books. He whined as he tried to figure out why he was being forced to stay in the bag and wasn't allowed to go into his human form, or even if he couldn't why couldn't he hang on Val's shoulders like usual?

Val grimaced as he literally stood between the enraged Havi and the befuddled Ruruka. Val was just as upset as Havi, though he wasn't being as violent about it.

~Flashback~

'Hmm... what are you doing Havi? It's too early for this.' Val thought as he felt someone's hand tracing his hand and the other caressing his face. The warmth was different though, it caused Val to open his eyes and wonder what the hell was happening.

"Ruruka, what are you doing? Get off me." Val tried to sit up, but was stopped by a surprisingly strong hand to his chest.

"Why don't you let me refresh myself the same way Havi does?" Ruruka asked Val while licking lips that were quirked in a way that Val had never seen on anyone but Havi when he was about to take part of a 'meal'.

"Ha-Havi! Help me, now!" Val yelled as best he could with the hand pushing down on his chest, pushing his breath out of his lungs. Next thing Val saw was Ruruka leaning in towards him, before he clenched his eyes closed and prayed that Havi would hurry up and save him.

"What. The. Hell. Do. You. Think. You. Are. Doing? You want to be rabbit stew!" Havi's voice was deadly cold and empty as he hit Ruruka over the head and then held the human turned long-eared rabbit by the ears.

"But I want Val!" Ruruka whined as he struggled effortlessly in the air, trying to reach for Val.

~End Flashback~

It took them about three hours to find a book that helped them understand what had happened. Ruruka, despite being quite a few centuries old, had for the first time, entered heat. The reason why Ruruka had attacked Val? Val was the closest healthy animal that was releasing an amazing amount of pheromones. Ruruka's kind, when in heat, are attracted to pheromones.

As Val read more and took notes in a small journal like book that he got as a present from Anri in apology for the trouble and worry he had caused Val, he didn't notice that Havi had slipped away. Havi had finished before Val, so Val didn't realize that they might be leaving with more than they had meant to.
