"So you're just gonna sit here and let her get away?" Alais said, aggravated. She heard the news, like all of the others in the house, as Medicine loud bawls of sorrow was easily audible. "What is wrong with you?"

Medicine, who had been lying on the couch, unmoving, rolled her eyes to see Alais. "Shut up.." Is all she could say. The ex-doll was having another depression attack. She seemed prone to extreme sorrow.

"Make me!" The alchemist snapped. "For the love of all things holy and unholy...even Lamia knows when to do something right, and when she went to attack you, she was trying to get rid of the source of poison that could have killed her and I!" she yelled, seeing the blond girl roll over, looking away. Alais sighed. "Ya know what..fine...be this way...you wanna be a loser like this, then go ahead. Mokou wouldn't do this to you, would she? I mean she carried you from here to the Magic Forest to repair you..and that's miles away, even with flying!" the alchemist scolded Medicine. "So you know what, have fun living here, alone, sad, and not doing anything. I'll go tell Mokou that you are not going to do anything but cry and yell and scream. So have fun ya loser." the black hair woman said, ending her tirade and walking outside, slamming the door as she left.

"...I am not..." Is all she was able to say in reply. The girl slowly turned back over. "I...I'm not...I'm not..." she kept repeating to herself.

Outside, Alais sighed as she seen the earth slowly open up. "It didn't work kids..." She said, making a chair out of air and sitting down as she watched Daiki, Layla, and Emy pull themselves out of the tunnel Daiki made out of the house.

"Why make this tunnel...?" Daiki asked as he snapped his fingers, pulling the dirt off him and his sisters.

"I mean, it would be pretty suspicious if she seen you all just walk out, past her." the alchemist said.

"Good point..." Layla said. "But..what can we do...she's not doing anything."

"Should we go find Mommy?" Emy asked. "It's not right...what Kaguya is doing...it's just plain evil!"

"Traditions are traditions, Emy. You can't change them." Alais said. "But..knowing your poisonous mother...she'll be up and fighting in about...three days."

"That's gonna be too long!" Layla groaned. "Who knows what could happen!"

Daiki leaned against his broadsword. "Knowing Mokou...not much."


"So..I see you came to your senses." Kaguya smirked. She stood in front of Mokou, who, looked at Kaguya, though her eyes looked off to the side.

"You could say that..." She trailed off. "...bitch." She said to herself.

The immortal princess giggled. "Oh well..no big deal, right? It took forever though."

"I wonder why..." Mokou muttered to herself. "Yea..I wasn't thinking on this..it was an accident ya know..beating those Challenges."

Kaguya yawned. "Yes yes yes...on a better note, I'm giving you as much time as you need to get ready for the big day, okay? So just find me, Eirin, or Reisen and we'll get everything ready, okay Mokou-chan?" She giggled as she walked away.

Mokou kept her mouth shut, grinding her teeth at the princess's last statement. "Only she's allowed to call me that." Mokou said before Kaguya was out of sight.

"Oh...your doll..she can come and watch us spend eternity together...isn't being immortal great?" the black haired immortal said, giggling and leaving the room, leaving Mokou alone.

Mokou looked around slowly, walking towards an open window. She rested her arms on the window sill. "Medicine...I'm going to delay this as long as I can...if you honestly think that this..is the best choice...then I understand and you don't have to come...but please..just see me one more time..." She said lowly.

Eirin, who was standing outside the room, bit her lip, and slowly walking away, trying not to make much noise with her heels. "The Princess has gone too far now..it's been over a thousand years, she should just drop this all and allow Mokou to regain her clan's honor...it's wrong." the nurse said as she walked through the halls of the main building in Eientei. "For once...she's wrong."
