Omake
Chikane Himemiya slept quite comfortably in a long time, it has been years since she last slept like that, since she has to constantly worry about the her underlings getting into trouble and the law as well. She knew that she had made the right decision when she decided to step down from her short lived career as the leader of her grandfather's group, with people like Souma and Girochi in charge, the Himemiya clan would prosper even without her.
She was doing well as well, raising her six year old adopted daughter Hotaru for 10 years and in a flash, she was now in high school, in the same school her mother attended. As for Chikane herself, she is now working as a musician, a job that she has always wanted ever since she was young.
Because of her denial against Himeko, she never got to do what she always wanted, in the 10 years without Himeko, she was forced to do all sorts of illegal things, like drug smuggling, gang fights, extortion and many other atrocities, Himeko's daughter, Hotaru, eventually became her saving grace, when she came into her life, Chikane knew that she had to change her life somehow, thus leading to her eventual fallout with her father, severing all ties with the Himemiya.
"Mother, wake up." Hotaru said while shaking her adoptive parent, forcing a tired Chikane to wake up from her slumber unwillingly as she spent an entire night composing her latest work.
"Hotaru… couldn't you let me sleep in a little longer? Today is Saturday you know…" Chikane mumbles in a lazy tone.
"…but Mother, Mr. Uematsu called in this morning about the music for the latest game…"
"If you want the scores, they are on the usual place; you can take it to Uematsu…"
"This will not do! Hurry up or you are going to be late! And you are going to hand it up yourself, geez…!" Hotaru scolded as she tried to move her adoptive mother off her bed, having to go her daughter's way, Chikane had no choice but to follow.
To Chikane, she recently found a pouting Hotaru to be very adorable, she has grown very beautiful over the years, Hotaru golden hair and her angelic voice reminded her of Himeko in every aspect, as expected of her biological daughter, all was perfect except her black eyes, which probably belonged to that heartless rapist who dealt Himeko an unimaginable damage, ironically though, if it weren't for him, Hotaru would never be born into this world.
Chikane would often use the twists and turns of both the lives of herself and Himeko as inspiration to her music, and to her, everyday with Hotaru was a inspiration.
