Okay. I lied. DON'T KILL ME, LEN FANGIRLS~! But,seriously, I'm sorry. This will probably next chapter. Probably. I'm writing this after 2/6 exams, so cut me some slack! Note: More un-canoness, but this is, of course,fanfiction, so...*shrugs* The years are screwed, I know.

Whoo~KxM, Sachi Kohana! They adopted the Freesis kids, too. In case you'd wonder later, yes, this is kinda like a filler chap. Maybe it actually is, who knows? (Not me, for sure.)

~EC: 517 - Leviantha, Enbizaka - Shou Freesis~

"Hurry up!"

Shou waved at his sisters, yelling at them. Their mother, at last,he had sought out after many years of hiding. As Yukina practically dragged Aile, he ran ahead of them. He longed for his mother after twelve years of hiding. Twelve years.He had been just twelve at the time and Aile, ten. Now twenty-four and twenty-two, respectively, they found her.

They came to a simple house, blending in with the others around the small town. He slid the screen door open as his sisters caught up. A few people stared at them suspiciously. Wearing strange clothing and entering Hiyama Miki's house? Most unusual.

They ran up the wooden steps that creaked with each step they took and entered the only room upstairs.

On her deathbed, lay Hiyama Miki, or rather, Mikina Freesis.

OoOoOoOo

Mikina weakly opened her eyes as she saw the door slide open. A small smile made its way to her face as three familiar faces came to view: her children's.

She had been such a coward, why would they even be looking for her? It was because of her that their father-her husband had died also their grandfather's-her own father, she had killed with a Vessel of Sin.

Tears formed as they came to her side. How much they had grown. So much time they had without her, their cowardly excuse of a mother. Aile, she seemed to have been painting while Shou seemed weary, most likely from the effort of finding her. Yukina, she had changed the most. A few ink stains littered the white sleeves of her golden dress. She must be from Lucifenia...

Her vision blurred, her children's cries grew faint. She could see him,yes, she could see her beloved Keel. He seemed as young as when they had first met, back at a dinner party her father had organized. His warm smile brought a warm comfort within her. How she longed to see him like that, to be with him once more. To let this chance pass by, it would be agony. He stretched out his arm for her. Smiling back, Mikina took hold of it, looking back at her children for the last time.

Then she left, just like that.

OoOoOoOo

Aile stared at her mother's lifeless self, whose face was frozen with a smile for eternity.

Tears rose up and fell down her pale face, which was still full of disbelief. Flashbacks of the times she had spent with her family came and left as quickly as they did. No..She can't be! We just arrived! We haven't...Her brother held her close, as did her sister. Many deaths they had seen, and this seemed to be the last straw. Then they all broke down, not bothering if anyone noticed.

The tears that fell on her sister's sleeves made a few black spots become blurry as she continued to cry. After being left by her parents for a decade, her mother joined their father to, hopefully, a better place. At least, better than this world, cursed with sin.

And, hopefully, her siblings wouldn't join her anytime soon yet.

He stood back, admiring his painting. Finally, he had finished it. It was of his last sister, of a scene that happened many years ago. He was eager to put it up on the wall when Yukina returned. His wife swept her into her arms, seeing a tear-streaked face.

"Mother's gone to join father..."She quietly said as Germaine stroked her hair. Kachess, or rather, Kyle threw down his paintbrush and went over to them, joining the hug. His other adoptive children arrived, not looking any better. They joined the three, still not looking up from the ground. The young man Shou, however looked the most distraught. The reasons were most obvious,and Kyle needed not to wonder why.

For a minute, the family stayed like that, shutting out the outside world.

Ney's painting, he thought, would have to wait for now.

"Why don't you rest for a while I give you some tea? You must be thirsty after all that crying." Germaine said, going back into the kitchen. As Kyle ushered the three into the living room, he heard them talk about the burial, which had been a simple event. Just them, some flowers, and their mother.

"It's a shame she's so far from father..." Aile mumbled, sitting down on the chair as she wiped the tears away. "It would've been hard to move her, anyway..." Shou told her, holding out a clean handkerchief to Yukina. "Wherever she is now, hopefully they're together again..." She added.

"It's not hopefully, they really are," Kyle interrupted, glancing out the window for a brief moment. Not a moment soon, Germaine came back, tray of cups of tea in hand. Handing them out one, by one, they all settled down for a moment. Germaine gave up alcohol a long time ago, thankfully. For the past five years, she and Chartette had set off for the east before returning just a month ago. Kyle was glad that his family was complete, for now.

That was all he needed.

The teacups were quickly emptied and Germaine went back to the kitchen to wash them, leaving the Freesis children with Kyle. Looking behind him, Aile noticed the portrait. "Is that your sister?" She asked, still retaining an innocent-like tone, somehow. "Yes, it's...," Kyle paused for a moment before continuing, flashbacks of the dream and her subsequent death coming to his mind. "Ney." He closed his eyes, thinking for the right thing to say. "It's hard to lose family, but maybe it's because they needed to move to a place of peace, the exact opposite of our world,"

The next words he said were unexpected by the three in front of him: "It's because I, Adam Moonlit, made evil."
