Zero had searched for his wife, Maria, for weeks, maybe even months. Wandering through the halls of Heavenly Host, trying to find her. There was no sign of her anywhere, no matter where he looked. He went into the infirmary and leaned against a wall. "Maria dear. If you`re out there, please answer me" he said, hoping to get an answer. He got none and he, in the first time in years, began to cry. Just then, the spirit of a woman appeared. "What`s the matter?" she asked, Zero brought his head up to see who asked. The woman was pretty short, around five feet four inches, had short black hair and wore a white jacket over a black shirt and black pants. It was Yoshie Shinosaki, Sachiko`s mother. Zero stood up and asked, "I can`t find my wife in here. Do you know where she is?". Yoshie only shock her head and Zero dropped to his knees. "She`s gone…she`s really gone" he said and broke down crying. Yoshie kneeled down and hugged him, he hugged back crying into her shoulder.
After Zero had calmed down they sat onto the infirmary beds. "You married?" Zero asked, Yoshie only looked away which told him all he needed to know. "What happened?" Zero asked, "Well, our family`s curse happened" Yoshie replied. "A curse?", "Yes, to keep the Shinosaki bloodline pure any man in the family dies. It took my husband away from me, and then that Takahime killed me and my daughter" at this point tears were beginning to fill her eyes. "I was all alone, I just wanted to see my daughter again *sob*. I never imagined things would turn out this way" Yoshie then cried, leaving Zero to only watch. To her surprise he wrapped his arms around her, "I`m not your husband nor a perfect man, but I`m here for you" he said. Yoshie hugged back, "Thank you" she said, Zero patted her back in response.
