Ok i'm really sad to say this is the last chapter! TT_TT I honestly hope that it doesn't seem rushed or whatever.

I think i shall take this time to ramble out; thank you everyone for reading, fav'ing and reviewing. Also, thanks for being patient when i went through that time of not updating this. I'm still really sorry about that! ^^

I wasn't going to originally upload the ending all at once. But i felt a little guilty if i left it hanging around and updating slowly! Oh well, enough from me. Thank you again, and enjoy. =D

Gripping onto the tree Miyuki had an aerial view of the fight which had erupted below. Granted she couldn't hear all the details which was spoken, but she got the general gist of it.

It surprised her slightly that Amaimon and Okuri-inu were fighting on the same side. When push came to shove she was really certain that the wolf would side with their father. When it came to loyalty he had none towards Amaimon.

Although it was likewise in his case, Amaimon didn't wholly trust the wolf, nor did he have loyalty to him. It may have been for this reason that they both made a rather good team. Neither of them seemed to care for what the other was doing.

Okuri-inu currently had one of Hiro's arms in his jaw and was shaking his head attempting to seemingly rip it off. Amaimon and Ryuhei were in some sort of stalemate and stood staring at each other.

"Oh this looks like fun! Can I watch with you?" Mephisto appeared from seemingly nowhere and sat beside her. "Oh little Miyuki did you ever see this happening? Talk about a family rift." He chuckled, she shook her head and looked over at him.

"How'd it go?"

"Well, I failed to find out your true true name. But you shouldn't fear, I'm rather sure that no sooner has that twit been defeated will your father see sense." Mephisto said simply while wriggling a finger at Hiro. He had been trying to see if there was anyway possible to find out what Miyuki's real name was, the name her father had given her. But he couldn't, he failed to find anyway out of finding it.

"Shall we just kick back and enjoy the fight? Tea?" Mephisto smiled and waved a cup at her, Miyuki raised an eyebrow and took the cup from his hand.

"This is weird."

"Yes well, we're all mad here."

"Mmhm," she nodded and drunk some of the contents of the cup. She almost dropped it however when the tree got smacked into. Mephisto had to put a hand on her shoulder to steady her, "Thanks."

"Welcome." The two looked down to see Hiro awkwardly pinned to it, Amaimon had managed to somehow impale him to the trunk by a branch. A really menacing looking branch, the two exchanged a look and then looked back down.

Okuri-inu jumped and knocked his father away from attacking Amaimon while his back was turned. "Is this all really worth it?"

"Oh Miyuki! You're dense I wish you understood what is happening." Mephisto drunk some of his tea and opened one of his eyes and looked sidewards at Miyuki. She was looking up at him with wide red eyes and a smile. "Fine," sighing he looked down at the fight.

"You see, Ryuhei isn't happy with your choice in men. Not that I blame him, I mean you could do a lot better. But compared to Hiro, Amaimon is by far the better catch." Mephisto shook his head and got back on track. "Hiro is just fighting because...well I think the poor man is confused and feels like he must. Okuri-inu is fighting because he's watching Amaimon's back, which admittedly is just plain weird." He paused and looked at Miyuki. "You see your dear old dad is testing to see if Amaimon is 'worthy' to look after you. It's so cliché it's sort of funny." He scratched his head in thought. "And a little ironic, Amaimon can barely look after himself at times let alone someone else."

"But he has."

"Yes, that's true isn't it?" Mephisto smiled, Miyuki nodded happily and smiled too.

"Do we stop them?"

"No, this is a testosterone fuelled fight, no part of me wants to intercept and stop any of them." Mephisto sighed and drunk more of his tea, Miyuki shrugged and joined in too. If he wasn't going to stop them then she wouldn't either. Although she got told to stay up in the tree, she wasn't to sure when she was allowed out of it though.


Opening his green eyes Amaimon stared into red ones. "I told you to stay in the tree."

"Oh come on Amaimon you're all laying around, what harm is going to come to her? Not only that the one person who would cause her harm has one arm. What damage can he do with one arm?" Mephisto said simply and winced when Okuri-inu laid chewing on the left arm of Hiro. "That's disgusting."

Miyuki looked over her shoulder at her brother and frowned. "Put it down! You don't know where it's been or what nasty things it has touched!" Miyuki exclaimed, her words were enough for the wolf to spit the limb out and make spluttering noises.

Turning her attention back to Amaimon she grinned, he sat up slowly and looked at her. "Hello! Are you alright? That was a really awesome fight...even if it was against my father...huh...that's a little screwed isn't it?"

"Ever so slightly Miyuki." Mephisto shook his head and watched Ryuhei stand up slowly and look in their direction.

Walking slowly he crouched next to Miyuki and looked at her, "Perhaps Miyuki, you would be better off if I never got involved in your life."

"But you're my dad!" She exclaimed sadly, "...You have a right to be a part of my life...just not in that way. You can be there though however if something goes wrong." She smiled, Ryuhei reached up and put a hand on her cheek. Pinching it and pulling a face which she retorted to by sticking her tongue out he laughed.

"You are much like your mother. You look like her, well...minus the white hair and red eyes of course." Ryuhei chuckled and looked towards Hiro who as yet hadn't moved. Okuri-inu caught on quickly and walked over and nudged him with his head.

Oi, you still alive there? I didn't bite you that much.

"Okuri-inu you ripped his arm off." Ryuhei pointed out dumbly. Okuri-inu snorted and shook his head, that's just a flesh wound. Ryuhei rolled his eyes at his sons words, he didn't have an answer honestly he didn't.

After a few moments though Hiro sat up, looked at them and then at himself. He screamed when he noticed he was an arm less than usual. He glared at the white wolf next to him, sorry I got carried away. Hiro stood up abruptly and stormed off without another word.

"You left your arm behind!" Miyuki shouted and frowned.

"Hey, need a hand?" Amaimon said while picking up the dismembered arm of Hiro and waving it at Miyuki. She squealed and pushed it away, "No I don't!" She ran away from him, Amaimon waved the arm which caused the hand to wave at her.

"Hello Miyuki, I'm Hiro's arm. How can I help you?"

"By going away! Or by getting burnt!"

"Miyuki dear, it's not actually speaking." Ryuhei looked at his daughter worriedly, she pulled a face and giggled. "I knew that!" She said and looked at the expressions of the people around her. They didn't believe her. This caused her to sigh heavily and fidget on the spot.


"Cookies, pocky, more cookies, some ice cream, candy floss...oh! And some more cookies...?" Miyuki waved the three packets off biscuits around. "Really?" She looked at them confused, Amaimon just nodded and pulled one of the packets from her grasp.

"Yes really." He opened the packet up and picked one of the cookies out. Waving it at her he pulled it away at the last minute when she went to eat it. "Welcome home Miyuki!"

She grinned and nodded, "It's good to be home." She said while rocking slightly in her cross legged position on the floor. "If we're going to be staying here we really need to get furniture. Why is it now I've only just noticed?" Miyuki hummed and looked around the bare room of the abandoned building they were in.

They had all parted ways in the forest, Ryuhei promised to visit more if Miyuki stayed with Amaimon and listened to what he had to say if it meant keeping her out of harms way. Amaimon was happy with that although he wouldn't openly admit it. He did tell the truth earlier on; life would be extremely boring if Miyuki wasn't around.

Hiro had disappeared without a trace, and without his left arm which Okuri-inu saw fit to run around with. It was disturbing to see the wolf have so much fun with a dismembered limb.

Mephisto had returned back to the school and put out an alert in case Hiro did suddenly pop up again soon.

Miyuki opened the tub of candy floss and happily took to eating it. She had learnt from last time not to smash her head into it. Getting it off was a task which wasn't as enjoyable as the task of eating it. Pulling a chunk off she waved it at Amaimon, who had crammed many cookies in his mouth and currently had puffed out cheeks like a hamster. Opening his mouth he accepted the pink fluffy sweet, Miyuki grinned.

And so the two commenced randomly sitting eating the numerous candy goods they had surrounded themselves by. It didn't take long for the two to get put into a sugar coma, Miyuki yawned and curled up to sleep using Amaimon's coat as a pillow yet again. He pulled her up to lay level with him and held onto her tightly. Miyuki smiled and held onto him tightly too, it didn't take her long to soon drift off to sleep.
