Sakuya Comforts Wataru
"Oh my gosh!" Mamoru exclaimed in terror.
"Brother Darling." Chikage requested.
"Yes Chikage," Wataru asked. "what do you need?"
"You and the others should go and take Marie back to Welcome House," Chikage requested to Wataru. "I have something that I need to finish up here."
"But of course, Chikage." Wataru said gently picking up Marie.
A few hours later at the Welcome House, Akio, Mami, and the other girls minus Chikage & Sakuya were watching over Marie who was lying on the couch still in dreamland when Wataru entered the living room.
Sakuya came into the living room with her newest letters from Kenneth a few minutes later.
"Has Marie awakened yet?" Sakuya asked Wataru.
"No, she hasn't, Sakuya," Wataru answered, sighing bluely. "do you know if there is any news from Chikage?"
"She told me that she defeated the witch's spirit," Sakuya said to Wataru comfortingly. "though... "
"I still have a long way to go on my mission." someone said from behind Wataru's back.
"Chikage," Wataru shouted, he was startled out of his wits. "how long have you been standing there?"
Chikage didn't have an answer for Wataru.
Marie sighed and began talking in her sleep again.
"Come to me, where are you? My love! My dearest one! Come to me!" Marie exclaimed in her sleep again.
"Marie," Akio & Wataru said softly in unison. "please describe the one you truly love to us."
"He has long black hair and brown eyes that are covered by eyeglasses, he wears a gray school uniform." Marie answered Akio & Wataru in her somniloquous state.
"It can't be!" Wataru exclaimed.
"Can't be what, Dear Brother?" Sakuya asked.
"It appears, Sakuya," Akio answered just before Wataru even got the chance to speak. "that Marie is in love with... Wataru's and my old friend from Tokyo, Minai."
Sakuya saw Chikage turning to go to her bedroom.
"What are you going to be doing, Chikage?" Sakuya asked worriedly.
Chikage turned to face Sakuya.
"I now know... the next phase in my mission." Chikage answered Sakuya solemnly.
