Chapter 3: A Dog Movie
"These files are getting good." Naruto said.
"Wonder who the third couple is?" Soul asked.
"Read and it shall appear." Sorey said.
"What's that some kind of metaphor, Sorey?" Ichigo asked, having a sweat drop on his forehead.
"Maybe…" Sorey replied.
"Thought it was a good one myself." Maka said.
Subjects: Shino Kurohana and Sicily "Spike" Clayborne
Date Subject: A Dog Movie
Kurohana and Spike are currently watching A Dog's Purpose on Spike's new handheld DVD player.
They reached the scene where Bailey (reincarnated as a female German Shepard) risked her life to save Carlos from a gunshot courtesy of the criminal that kidnapped Ellie.
Spike (in her wolf form) was crying as Kurohana comforted her.
"Why did he have to die again?" Spike asked, crying despite the werewolf-witch hybrid trying to wipe the tears away.
"I know it's hard, Spike. Dogs would always risk their lives for their owners." Kurohana replied.
"But the bond between man and beast is eternal." Kurohana continued.
Spike looked at Kurohana in some confusion.
Kurohana simply smiled.
"You'll see." Kurohana said.
The One-Star Meister-Weapon combo continued to watch the movie, continuing from Bailey's third life as Tino living with Maya until his third death and reincarnation.
Spike showed emotions of happiness, laughter, sadness and worry from watching the protagonist's third life progress.
Kurohana unconsciously slid his right hand on Spike's without noticing.
The movie continued towards Bailey's fourth life as Buddy reuniting with a lonely Ethan at his grandparents' old farm.
Spike felt happy but also angering at Ethan for not remembering Buddy (Bailey).
"Come on! Why doesn't Ethan remember him?!" Spike asked, in an angry manner.
"Afraid that's how reincarnation works when one soul passed from one body to another and met the person the first body once knew but doesn't know the second body housing that soul." Kurohana replied.
"W-Well yeah, but…" Spike said.
"But Ethan still remembers Bailey in his heart. Like we always will with those who came before us and honor their memory." Kurohana explained.
Spike blushed a bit.
The movie passed by as Ethan reconciled with Hannah and getting married, to the point where Ethan planned to do the same trick with Buddy he did decades ago with Bailey as a kid.
Kurohana and Spike began to wait and see what happens.
Throwing the deflated ball at a distance, Buddy ran as Ethan kneeled down.
Buddy used Ethan's back as a booster to jump into the air and catch the ball.
(A/N: That's a fun way to play with your dog.)
Kurohana and Spike were impressed.
"I always loved that trick!" Spike commented.
"Maybe we should give this idea to Kurosaki and Sorey with their dogs." Kurohana explained.
Spike loved that idea.
In a few minutes, the movie then reached the scene where Ethan immediately recognized Buddy (as Bailey).
"Bailey?" Ethan asked, on TV.
Buddy (Bailey) barked happily, causing Ethan to smile out of joy.
Buddy (Bailey) came to his old master and gave him licks of affection; Ethan embraced his dog out of love.
Kurohana shed a small tear he wiped as he smiled. Spike cried out of joy with laughter.
"I'm happy for them." Kurohana commented.
"Me too!" Spike hollered.
Kurohana then realized just now his hand was on Spike's, making him blush.
"Uh-oh…" Kurohana thought.
Spike noticed a warm feeling on her hand and noticed Kurohana's on top of hers'.
Kurohana began to panic.
"Spike, before you kill me, I…" Kurohana said.
Suddenly, Spike's lips touched the Scythe Meister's right cheek.
"Your reward for being there for me." Spike commented, blushing.
Kurohana smiled and did the same to Spike's cheek, causing her to blush more as he began to blush too.
"I'm really glad you're not just my partner, but also the person I love." Kurohana explained.
"That's very sweet. I feel the same." Spike explained.
Kurohana and Spike began to sleep in an embrace as the movie reached the credits.
"That was really nice of Kurohana-san." Maka commented.
"Wouldn't you guys…" Maka continued.
She became stunned when she saw Naruto, Ichigo, Sorey, Soul and Izuku crying comically.
"So… sad and loving~!" Naruto, Izuku and Soul hollered in unison.
"I'll always be with Sirius in heart!" Ichigo hollered.
"I-I'll never leave Hige's side!" Sorey hollered.
"Good grief…" Maka thought, deadpanned.
This chapter is a tale of love and being man's best friend, and how people will still be remembered by their souls. A Dog's Purpose will always be remembered not just a movie, but an inspiration for the relationship of man and dog that will be eternal. Let's see which couple is up next?
