After the final farewells, the hugs, and the photos the three neighbors made their way back to the Mansion so they could change into their party clothes. Chiaki's father insisted on having a large party to celebrate his only son's engagement. The good doctor Nagoya invited all of Chiaki and Maron's home room class, their parents, their teachers, and any other acquaintances that he saw fit. The party was less then an hour away by the time Kagura came to pick up Chiaki and the Kusakabes. They were the first to arrive at restaurant. Kaiki welcomed Maron's parents introducing himself as Chiaki's older brother. Koran, Maron's mother was shocked on how mature Chiaki's brother acted until the former thief hit his "brother" over the head with one of the menus "Cut it out, Pop!" The teen growled. "Eh, you mean he is your father? But he looks so young." The star's mother was in shock. "He likes to tease people, mother. He did the same trick to Miyako and myself when we first met him, mother." Maron smiled. "You get used to it after a while." The small goddess placed her hand on her mother's shoulder.
Slowly but surely the guests arrived as the night went on. Chiaki soon grew bored with the party he wanted nothing more then to grab his fiancé and make their escape to some where that the two of them could be alone. Maron on the other hand was being the ever cheerful hostess talking with everyone, complimenting the ladies on their dresses, charming the gentlemen with compliments. She made sure that every one was having a good time, everyone except Chiaki. Even though he stood by her side the entire night she had barely said two words to him and it was making the angsty teenager jealous. When the soul of Adam could not take it any longer her grabbed the hand of the soul of Eve and pulled her to the nearest exit. Maron of course tried to protest but the determination that Chiaki was using was not even human. Chiaki finally released the hand of his goddess once they were a good twenty feet from the restaurant. "Mou, Chiaki what was your rush? The party is still going on. We need to be courteous ho-"Maron's lecture was cut short by one of Chiaki's impulsive kisses. The former Jeanne started to blush as she pulled away from her rival. "Chiaki, I wish that you would quit doing that. As I was saying we need to be courteous hosts. This party is for us after all." The young man paid no mind to what the chocolate eyed beauty was saying. "I don't care, all I need is you." confessed as he went for another kiss. 'He is just like a spoiled child sometimes.' Maron mused to herself.
"I hope that son of mine is treating the fair Maron-san, like the lady she is" Doctor Nagoya smiled. "I've not seen any one so protective like Chiaki-kun. You have a one fine boy there, Nagoya-sensei" Maron's father replied. "You know I wasn't sure what to make him out as when I first met him. I mean disappearing with Maron-chan for close to two days and all. But he has done everything he could do to gain my respect. You must be proud." Koran Kusakabe joined in on the conversation. The good doctor smiled and nodded. "Did they ever tell you where they disappeared to?" Both of Maron's parents shook their heads. "No never. Did they tell you, Nagoya-sensei?" The husband inquired. "Nope never, I wonder what they are hiding. Those two have been hiding something big for over a year, I knew something was up when Chiaki called me up and said that Maron feel off her balcony, but it was oblivious that she did not fall anywhere near that high. After that I started to try to piece things together and I have yet to come up with a plausible answer." The doctor sighed. "When did all of this happen, I never heard that Maron fell off the balcony?" Maron's father was shocked to hear this news. "Did they not tell you? Strange, it happened about a month before they disappeared. I was so worried for Maron-san I did not think that she was gonna make it through that coma; she was unconscious for nearly three days. Poor Chiaki, he did not leave her bed side at all. The last time I saw him that torn up about any one was when his poor mother died. I knew then that Maron-san did the impossible and shattered the box that surrounded my son's heart, and for that I am eternally grateful for." Chiaki's father confessed. The three parents fell silent. There was so much to talk about and they have barely scratched the surface. "Where are Maron and Chiaki?" Mr. Kusakabe enquired. The three parents looked around the room. They could not find their children at all. "I swear those two are like sneak thieves at times. The can disappear with out a trace better then anyone I know." The doctor confessed.
Outside Maron was using all the power she had to try and convince Chiaki to go back to the party. But Chiaki would have none of that. The only thing he wanted was to be alone with his treasure, whether she liked it or not. All was going according to the former thief's plans until three figures appeared behind Maron. Those figures were not other then the parents of both of the former Kaitous. "And just what are the you two doing out here?" Koran peered down at the two teenagers. "Chiaki, you made your poor father worry." Kaiki pouted. "Maron your mother, Dr. Nagoya, and I have some questions we would like to be clarified if you don't mind. What is this secret that you two seem to be safe guarding?" Maron's father gave the two teenagers a stern look. Both Maron and Chiaki stood with their backs to the wall. They knew at some point their parents would figure out that something was up. "Now is not the best time or place to talk about that. Perhaps tomorrow we can all meet at my apartment for breakfast tomorrow, and we will tell you what you would like to hear." Chiaki said nonchalantly. The parents agreed on one condition the two young lovers had to return to the party. The two agreed and went back inside. The night seemed to drag on for the two after that point they desperately wanted to go somewhere they could talk. Only two other people knew their secret and that was Miyako and the Demon Knight Noin. They never had any reason to tell any one else. They both knew at one point that they would have to tell their parents a secret like the one they had would not be easy to believe though. As soon as every one had left the restraint the two teenagers took it as their queue to leave. Before Kagura could bring the car around the ex-thieves bid their parents good bye and told them that they were going to be out late before started their trek home.
"How are gonna be able to tell them, Chiaki?" It took everything for Maron to not cry "It's not like we can say we happened to meet two angels that gave us the power to seal demons." The sweet soul shook. It pained Chiaki to see Maron so upset he did the only thing he could think to do Chiaki wrapped his arms around Maron and told her that every thing will work its way out. The tow souls of Adam and Eve wondered the sleeping city in a daze they did not even realize that they were already home. Slowly the two made their way up the flights of stairs and creped into Chiaki's apartment. Making sure no one heard them. There was an advantage of being a former thief after all. The two sat next to each other in the complete darkness until the early hours of the morning. Chiaki decided even though he loved the company of his goddess it would be best if she returned home. The two lovers walked out to the balcony and the former Jeanne hopped over to her balcony making sure that she did not make a sound. The clever girl stealthily made her way to her bedroom and went to sleep.
By about seven in the morning the good Doctor Nagoya had already made his way to the Kusakabe residence and was talking with the two architects while awaiting Maron to wake up. All the noise from the living room woke up the slumbering goddess. 'Oh, great they are already ready to hear everything.' Maron rubbed her temple. 'I might as well get ready, no matter how much I don't want to go through with this sitting in here will not stop it.' And with that the small framed gymnast opened her closet to find something to wear. Moments later Maron stepped out wearing a soft green and pink floral dress with a simple head band in her hair. "I'll um, go see if breakfast is ready." She kept her eyes down to the ground as she passed by the parents. Softly she shut her front door and gave a light knock to the door next to hers. Chiaki almost admittedly opened the door. He gave his treasure a small kiss on the cheek "Every thing will be fine, just let me do the talking, ok?" Maron gave him a small nod. "Breakfast will be ready in a few minutes can you go get our parents?" Chiaki gave a wink and returned to the kitchen. Maron returned to her apartment to announce that breakfast was ready to be served.
