"Ikkun, hey, Ikkun, wake up!"

"Uhhhh!"

"Hey Ikkun!"

"Mmmmmmm….."

"Not waking up huh?"

Tabane made an evil smile as she looked at the still asleep Ichika.

"Alright the sleepyhead…"

Tabane mounted Ichika and puckered her lips. It was obvious that she is going to kiss Ichika to wake him up.

"Uhhh….."

But luckily Ichika's opened a little enough for him to see Tabane ready to kiss him; this was enough to make Ichika's drowsy state vanish.

"WAHHHHHH! TABANE-NEE WHAT ARE YOU DOING!?"

Ichika wanted to spring out of the bed but he couldn't move since Tabane straddle him hard.

"WAIT! I'M AWAKE ALREADY PLEASE STOP!"

Ichika pleaded Tabane to end her prank but she doesn't seem stopping instead she continued inching closer to Ichika's face.

(CHUUUUUU!)

Tabane gave Ichika a long kiss…..on the forehead.

"AH?"

Ichika was a dumfounded at his wrong assumptions and also a bit disappointed although he wasn't sure why.

"Muah! There, now Ikkun's awake!"

Tabane happily smiled at Ichika as she ended her long kiss.

"Tabane-nee I was awake already….."

Ichika spoke in a tired tone; the fatigue that he lost when he slept came back.

"Well Ikkun are you ready?"

Tabane beamed a naughty smile at Ichika and Ichika's sense of self-preservation kicked in, Tabane's smile seem to indicated that she is planning to tease him again.

"R-Ready for what?"

Ichika answered in a slightly scared voice. If this goes on Ichika is sure to develop a phobia for Tabane. Meanwhile Tabane who seems to be enjoying Ichika's reaction smiled even more.

"What are you talking about? Of course your surprise."

Tabane edged closer on Ichika as she smiled at him naughtily, she then removed a button on her shirt. Ichika gulped as Tabane shirt opened slightly Ichika could now see her collarbone. Then Tabane removed the second button, Ichika started to blush because a glimpse of Tabane's cleavage graced his eyes. Ichika blushed so red that steam started to escape his face. Tabane is enjoying this and she isn't going to stop now, Tabane reached for the third button she stared at Ichika's eyes with a naughty look.

"(GULP)"

Ichika gulped hard as Tabane's hands slowly and teasingly attempted to remove the third button of her shirt.

"So Ikkun do you want your surprise?"

Tabane now leaned even closer, her very close proximity caused Ichika who was trying his best to back away finally reach the head board of his bed. As she finally cornered her prey Tabane licked her lips as she whispered directly on Ichika's right ear.

"HM!"

Ichika froze as he felt Tabane's breath assaulting his ears.

"Do you want to see them? Do you want to touch them? Just name your desire and Tabane-nee will provide it."

Tabane hoarsely whispered on Ichika's ear, causing the innocent boy to blush even more.

"Ah!...eh!...uh!..."

Ichika stuttered as his mind went totally blank. Luckily his saviors(?) arrives in the nick of time.

"T-TABANE! WHAT ARE YOU DOING!?"

While Shiori blushed when she saw her colleague mounting her nephew and looked like she was ready to "eat" him, Genos eyes twitched while filled with Jealousy.

"Shi-chan and Genos-chan, muuuuu! You both always come in such a bad time."

Tabane pouted at Shiori and Genos untimely (timely for Ichika) arrival.

"Shiori-san, Genos-san! Thank you for your kindness!"

Ichika happily thanked both Shiori and Genos for their arrival (especially Shiori); they saved him a lot of stress and probably prevented him from falling into another trap.

"Eh! So Ikkun prefers Shi-chan over me!"

Tabane then came out of the room pretending to cry while screaming "Ikkun is a meanie" repeatedly. Shiori, Genos and Ichika smiled wryly at the Tabane's actions.

"Sorry you had to deal with her pranks."

Shiori apologize to Ichika.

"Nah, I kind of….got used to it…somehow. But her pranks really are of a different level."

Ichika released a very tired sigh.

"Hahaha... same ol' Tabane."

While Genos chuckled at Tabane's action, Shiori told Ichika the good news.

"Anyway, the surprise that Tabane is referring to is that [Byakushiki] is finally repaired."

Upon hearing the news from Shiori, Ichika sprang off the bed with renewed vigor and clasped Shiori's hands while smiling at her earnestly.

"REALLY!"

Ichika's very happy attitude almost blew away Shiori. Shiori was at a bit of a loss as to how she would deal with this extremely happy Ichika (With Genos comically feeling jealous that Ichika got to hold Shiori's hands of course).

"Um….Yes in fact she is ready to return to you right away."

Shiori smiled at Ichika, and then the boy out of extreme happiness started to cry.

"(Sniff)…..I'm so….(Sniff)…happy…Thank you Shiori-san…"

Ichika started to cry tears of joy; Shiori understood him and just embraced the very happy boy.

"There, there Ichika…"

Shiori also became happy, just seeing Ichika so happy makes her joyful in return.

"There, there…"

Shiori rubbed Ichika's back as she consoled him. A situation like this made Shiori remember the past when Ichika would often run to her like this and would demand an embrace.

(Ichika, you still are very clingy.)

While the Shiori and Ichika were having their moments, Genos this time was jealous in a serious way while sadly smiling towards the scene that was happening in front of him.

(You have such loving aunt Ichika, even i wish i had family members who would embrace me and consoled me like that...)

Genos then looked at Shiori with pity expression towards her.

(Shiori-san... Are you sure you want to keep it this way?)

He then looked at Ichika with same expression.

(Ichika... what the hell happened man?)

Soon after Ichika recovered from his extreme happiness, Shiori, Genos and him now headed towards the [Core Revival Engine] Room.

"Tabane-sama, Genos-sama, Ichika-sama and Shiori-sama have arrived."

Ku-chan told Tabane but the latter only spared a glimpse for the three and then sulkily looked away and focused on her computer.

"Tabane-nee is sulking….."

Ichika looked guilty as he looked at Tabane.

"Relax she's not really mad at you, she's just playing around."

Shiori assured Ichika but then Tabane interjected in a sulking tone.

"Ikkun is a biased boy!"

Tabane shouted while not even looking at Ichika.

"T-Tabane-nee I'm sorry for earlier….. I uh…."

Ichika went to Tabane and tried to apologize but Tabane turned away from him but Ichika never stopped apologizing even though Tabane was making this hard for him. Seeing this Shiori couldn't help but smile, her nephew really is a kind man that would often go through extreme lengths to make things right, even Genos couldn't help but to smile how kind Ichika was towards others.

"Tabane that's enough playing around you know he didn't do anything wrong."

Shiori decided to end Tabane's game, then the scientist smile as she flung herself to Ichika.

"AHAHAHAHAHAHA! Got you Ikkun!"

Ichika who knew he was once again teased just sighed in defeat.

"Tabane-nee…"

"Sorry for my teasing, Ikkun is just so cute when being teased, I can't help it!"

Tabane's childish made Ichika smile; he was once again reminded why even his own sister is a bit wary of Tabane.

"Anyway enough with the games let us reunite you and [Byakushiki]."

Ichika became a bit serious when he heard Tabane. He was a bit nervous but more so he was really happy that his IS, no his friend [Byakushiki] has returned.

"Let's do this."

Ichika gave Tabane, Shiori and Ku-chan his manly smile which caused the three to blush at seeing his mature side while Genos was taken back from it.

"WOW! Ikkun is a man now!"

Tabane smiled at Ichika, Shiori, Genos and Ku-chan also smiled.

"Then let's get started."

Now it was like when he and [Byakushiki] first met, [Byakushiki] is kneeling like a knight waiting for its master. Ichika who was once again in this situation, couldn't help but reminisce about the first time he met [Byakushiki].

(Just like the last time.)

Ichika had no hesitations, he walked forward to his IS and slowly touched it and then…

(FLAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAASH )

.

.

.

.

"Well Ikkun how do you feel?"

Tabane asked Ichika with a smile on her face.

"Great."

Ichika only said one word but the meaning behind was enough for all of them.

"Well then I guess it is time for Ikkun to return to the IS academy!"

Tabane raised her hand and exclaimed happily, Genos, Shiori and Ku-chan also smiled.

The five then made their way to a landing platform, the same one where Ichika and Tabane landed when they came here; luckily the dent from last was fixed already.

"Well come on Ikkun let's go!"

Tabane was already inside the carrot rocket, it was also the same one they rode the one that was really cramped up.

"Um, Tabane-nee don't tell me your coming with me?"

Ichika asked fearfully.

"Well of course I have to go, I still need to see if [Byakushiki] is performing at peak condition and to make sure that there is no damage left."

Tabane made a very logical point and Ichika could do nothing but agree even if the chances of Tabane teasing him are really high he still has to agree.

"W-Well let's go then."

Ichika nodded in agreement but before he boarded the carrot rocket he first extended his farewells for Ku-chan, Genos and Shiori.

"Ku-chan I would like to extend my gratitude for you taking care of me in my stay here."

Ichika smiled warmly at Ku-chan causing the emotionless girl to show a brief moment of embarrassment.

"It is alright Ichika-sama, anyone who is dear to Tabane-sama is also precious to me and also…I don't know how to say it but…there is something about that I can't explain…but no matter what it is, I know that it is something that's powerful."

Ku-chan said in a timid manner making her look like a school who's trying to confess.

Ichika became happy of Ku-chan praise although he was a bit lost on the last part. After Ku-chan, Ichika then turned to Genos.

"Genos-san, It's nice knowing you and thank you for also giving me confidence."

As Ichika slightly bowed towards Genos, he chuckled towards Ichika from his gratitude.

"hahaha, there's no need Ichika."

When Ichika stood up, Genos then came up to Ichika and put his hand on his shoulder.

"I can tell that you're a great man Ichika. The amount of care and kindness you gave towards both your friends and your IS shows that."

Ichika was thankful and happy from his praise.

"Thank you, Genos-san!"

While Genos raised his hand and gestured a fist bump while grinning, Ichika also returned the fist bumping while also smiling.

"Now go out there and show them what u got"

"I will!"

After Genos, Ichika then turned to Shiori.

"Shiori-san, I wanted to thank you too for your help in fixing [Byakushiki] and for sharing to me your history. I am really happy to see someone recovering that shared a similar past to me. And Shiori-san I know this may seem useless but, I believe that your family still has hope. No matter how bad things get, there is always a way to resolve them."

Shiori was shocked by Ichika's hopeful words.

(Even though it was hopeless he would still pursue hope…That just how he is.)

Shiori smiled at Ichika but soon tears started to lace her eyes.

"AH! S-Shiori-san d-don't cry I'm sorry I mention about your past and….."

Ichika stopped his stuttering apology when Shiori placed her index finger on his lips.

"It's not that Ichika, I'm not sad but I'm happy. You gave me new hope and I will eternally be grateful for that."

Shiori smiled earnestly, there were no other emotions laced in her smile just pure unbridled happiness. Ichika gawked at Shiori; he only noticed just now how beautiful Shiori really is. Her smile made her look like a goddess of unparalleled beauty.

(Shiori-san is so pretty…)

Ichika fell into a dazed as his sight gradually went down to Shiori's chest which he did unintentionally.

"Um, Ichika…"

Shiori covered her chest with her right hand as she became shy. Meanwhile Ichika still remained in a daze and still staring at Shiori's chest. Also, bit by bit he started to remember the feeling of Shiori's breasts when he touched them without any clothing.

(Shiori is both beautiful in body and in personality. This may seem weird but I feel that I know her, like she was a very important part of me, my past. I can't shake this feeling off ever since I first saw her, I would be weird to ask Shiori-san about this and It would make me look like I'm hitting on her. But still, this feeling is so strong and also what's weird is that I think she looks a lot like Chifuyu-nee.)

Ichika monologue in his mind as his sight is still glued on Shiori's chest.

Ichika stillness and his continuous staring at her breasts made Shiori somewhat embarrassed. But finally Ichika snapped out of his stupor….when Ku-chan stomped on his foot.

(DONK)

"Ow!"

Ichika snapped out of his entranced state while looking a Shiori's chest, well to be true he was ruminating about the things he felt for Shiori it was just a coincidence that his eyes got stuck at Shiori's eye-catching chest.

"Ecchi!"

Tabane teased Ichika who finally knew what he did.

"Ichika-sama perverted actions may be normal for your age but tone it down to moderate levels."

Ku-chan admonished Ichika with just one sentence.

"Even the kindest guy in the world can't resist Shiori-san."

Genos slightly chuckled as he saw Ichika stared at her beautiful chest.

"S-Shiori-san I'm sorry for my rude behavior!"

Ichika bowed in apology to Shiori but the latter raised Ichika head and smiled at him, indicating that she isn't upset.

"It's alright Ichika."

Ichika is once again dazed at Shiori's beauty but this time Tabane stepped in by clinging on to Ichika's back and pressing her chest intently on the boy.

"So you thank Genos-chan, Ku-chan and Shi-chan but you won't thank me? MUUUUUU! Meanie, Baised, Ecchi!"

Tabane pouted while clinging tightly on to Ichika. The boy again was being stimulated by the feeling of soft and voluminous breasts rubbing and pushing on his back.

"Wait Tabane-nee I'm sorry, I will thank you during our trip so please-"

Ichika lost his balance and started to stagger forward.

"AH!"

"AH!"

"AH!"

(THUD)

The sound of three bodies falling down was heard by both Genos and Ku-chan who by the way was staring at the new development.

"MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM"

Ichika is once again in a sticky situation, when he staggered earlier he accidentally bumped into Shiori who he took down along with him. Now his current position is between the bodies of Tabane who was on top and Shiori who was underneath. But what is interesting is that his face is sandwiched between Shiori's breasts and Tabane's breasts.

(BOING) (BOING) (BOING)

(BOING) (BOING) (BOING)

This very nostalgic event reminded Ichika of what happened on the onsen.

(This is a pleasurable hell.)

Those are Ichika's last thoughts before he fainted due to nosebleed.

(HOW THE HELL IS HE THIS LUCKY?!)

To this day, Genos can never figure out his luck.

After a few minutes of rest, Ichika and Tabane finally left again riding the carrot rocket. Shiori, Genos, and Ku-chan watched the two off on the platform.

"…."

Both Ku-chan and Genos noticed Shiori's sudden change in attitude and Ku-chan promptly asked the latter.

"Shiori-sama is there something wrong?"

Shiori didn't answer right away as she remained in a daze but minutes later she snapped back and made a request to Ku-chan.

"Ku-chan, Genos-chan, I have to go the IS academy as well. Don't worry about me I'll tell Tabane about it later."

"Shiori-sama….."

Ku-chan was a bit worried she knew that Shiori's health is really frail so it would be unwise to let her wander out the base on her own, but just as she was about to make suggestion of her coming with Shiori, Genos beats it to her.

"I'll come with you Shiori-san, I have to go to IS Academy either way as well."

Shiori made no objection and agreed but both her and Ku-chan was curious why Genos was also going to IS Academy.

"Why are you going to IS Academy, Genos-sama?"

Genos answered back to Ku-chan's question.

"Tabane asked me a favor, involving the IS academy so i'm going to go there soon."

"What is it?"

As Shiori was also curious what it was, Genos was silent for few seconds and thought back to him and Tabane's conversation.

(Flashback)

"You want me to go to IS Academy, Tabane?"

While Ku-chan, Shiori, and Ichika were away, both Tabane and Kaika were at the lab having an important conversation.

"Yes, with the constant threat of the SAIS... I'm afraid the IS Academy will be in constant danger from now on."

After Tabane done speaking, Kaika also knew another reason why he was going to IS Academy.

"...It's also because you want me to protect Ichika right?"

Although Tabane wasn't surprised from Kaika's sharp mind, she felt slightly guilty of what happened that day.

"Mmmhm, Ikkun fought one of them and saved the IS Academy but he almost lost his IS and his life. I just can't see him bear such heavy responsibility..."

As Tabane looked down at the floor with guilt due to the SAIS incident, Genos looked at her for few seconds and came with conclusion.

"I understand, i'll go to the IS Academy."

Tabane looked back up and gave him big smile with joy and hugged him

"YAY YAY! Thank you Genos-kun, love you~"

When Tabane hugged Genos with joy, Genos couldn't help but to blush from her action.

"A-anyway Tabane, how would i go to IS Academy? I don't think they would just let me waltz in there."

As Genos asked Tabane about how would he go to IS Academy, she responded.

"I can make the record of you qualifying for becoming a teacher at IS Academy Genos-Kun, besides you already know all about the IS anyway right?"

"Of course, you're the one who taught everything to me."

As Genos nods his head proudly, Tabane went to the computer and furiously typed on her keyboard.

"I've just now typed all your records and application and sent to the IS Academy. They should accept you and give you interview and easily land you a job as a teacher."

"All right, thanks Tabane."

After Genos thanked Tabane for her work, he started to walk out of her lab; but as he was go out the door, Tabane calls by his real name and made him stop on his track due to the fact that when Tabane calls his real name, it's always serious.

"Kaika."

Genos turned around and saw worried expression on her face.

"Please be safe..."

When he saw her, Genos chuckled.

"I know i'll be safe, i'm indestructible! I can't die, muhahaha!"

After Genos laughed like a maniac comically, he then turned around and faced full frontal towards the door.

"And besides..."

Genos turns his head towards Tabane and smiled gently.

"I'll do whatever to make you happy, no matter what."

When Tabane saw Kaika's smile, she couldn't help but notice that his smile also carried sadness within it.

As Genos left by leaving the lab, Tabane became more worried than ever.

"Kaika..."

(Flashback ends)

"...It's just nothing too big."

While Genos shrugged it off, Shiori knows that it was something big since she knew Genos was hiding something but decided to not to say anything about it.

"Why do you suddenly want to go to the IS academy Shiori-sama?"

Ku-chan broke the silence by asking her a question.

"I'm going to ask someone there, my niece, Orimura Chifuyu."

"I see..."

As Ku-chan seemed to be satisfied with the answer, Shiori turned to Genos.

"Genos-kun, i'm going back to my room and take my medicine, prepare your plane to IS Academy."

"Got it"

After Shiori and Ku-chan went back to her room to get the medicine, Genos walked to his plane while in deep thought.

"Love you~!"

Genos thought back what she said with bright smile on her face back in the conversation at the lab. He then looked at his hand with unreadable expression as he thought of Ichika in his head.

"You should say that to someone who you truely love instead..."

He reached to his plane and started to look at the clear sky with sad smile on his face as he thought back in time where Tabane saved him from hellhole and spent time with him, helping him for many years. He then remembers her beautiful smiles.

"I love you too... Tabane."
