"To make you think you've freed yourself from your Diffride. It's a shame they don't know what you did Diffride with two units and only one of them returned to Cray, I hate to say it, but that's a good plan." Says a girl with glasses who talked to Miguel.
"So I can be close to my queen, and how I help find the right one to be Gyze's vessel?" the blond boy asked.
"Look for people who beat a Diffrider, there are many like Shindou, Shouji, Anjou and the three idiots from Fukuhara. At worst, look for the Peacemaker." The girl was commenting.
"Piecemaker?" asks Miguel.
"The Peacemaker is a living bridge between Cray and Earth, an accidental creation of an idiot. If you fight her, you're likely to go straight to Cray." Answers the girl, who was still hidden...
"Well, I know I have to keep my facade so I won't fight for now." Miguel added... "Something else... Someone may watch you, so you have to be careful that you don't get caught." The mystery girl said...
"You speak of that old man, what's his name... I think Ibuki, that won't be a problem." He answered the very confident.
"Partly, but I was talking about your former teammates Onimaru Kazumi and Verno Farenheart." She said. "Well, I'll be on the lookout for what happens. We'll talk later." Miguel said, who was getting ready to go out.
Σ 02: The Flower Comes Home
At the same time in France...
"Do you think I'll be able to get into the Euro League with this?" Tokoha was asking Akane.
"Yeah, for sure. You're Generation Master, you won the Koshien and U20. We'll just get your papers in order and that's it." She answers, while they took their paperwork to HQ.
"And if you need someone to train you, you can count on me Tokoha-chan." Jaime appears before them, which catches Tokoha's attention. "That reminds me..." said she, who turns to see Jaime... "Jaime, my brother or Ibuki hasn't told you anything about it." Tokoha wanted to know if there was no news on the Diffriders issue.
"No, not even my Amigo." Answer the young brunette. "That's obvious, Chrono will never say anything to worry me." She answers, at that moment someone is approaching..."That sounds like you don't trust him Tokoha." Says Miguel, who arrived with some documents.
"What are you doing here?" asks Tokoha. "I'm here to drop off my papers to participate in the Euro League. But if you want I can show you a few things." Miguel answers, who approached Tokoha, but she walked away.
"No thanks, when I was in Japan Chrono taught me many things. And I'm not just talking about the Vanguard." Tokoha responded, leaving both boys open-mouthed.
"To... Tokoha... Tokoha-chan, you didn't do that... Did you?" Akane reacts just as surprised.
"Of course not Akane-san, but that's our secret." Tokoha says quietly.
"Tokoha, you have a call from Japan." said a member of the French branch.
"That's strange?" reacts Tokoha confused.
"Anjou, is everything fine over there?" asks Kazuma.
"Yes, why? What happens?" Tokoha replies. Just when Kazuma tries to make her aware of what happened she freaks out.
"Akane-san, get me a ticket to go to Japan right away." Tokoha responds. "Something happened?" asks Akane, Tokoha tries to explain everything Kazuma had told him, so Akane went to her computer and decided to find a seat for Tokoha in the first plane that left in 6 hours. "Done, go to the house to pack your luggage fast, the plane leaves in a few hours." She add.
"Thank you!" Tokoha who thanks Akane and leaves to her apartment. "Chrono, what were you thinking about... You should have asked for help." Tokoha thought, who was rushing his steps. Tokoha took some of her belongings, and she went to the airport to catch her flight and quickly arrive to Japan.
Hours later...
"You came from France?" asks Kazuma when he saw Tokoha at the hospital door.
"We're talking about Chrono, of course I'd come from France to see what happened. You know what happened?" she asks very distressed.
"No, my brother and I found them lying on the ground." Kauma responds by commenting on the facts.
"I see..."said Tokoha worried.
"I'll get you something to drink, your nerves are noticeable in the distance." Kazuma, who's starting to walk away, replies.
"Yes, thank you." Tokoha thanks Kazuma and sits on one of the hospital benches.
"He'll be fine, don't worry." He said a voice that tries to calm Tokoha.
"Kazumi-san? Thank you for bringing Chrono to the hospital." Tokoha thanked Onimaru, as he and Kazuma brought Chrono and Juuna to the hospital.
"It's the least I could do for everything Shindou did for us." Kazumi responds.
"By the way... You know the number of any family member of Shindou, they won't let him out unless a family member signs the papers." Kazumi added.
"The only person I know is..." Tokoha said, as he pulled out his phone.
Hours later...
"There no need to call me, I was going to come to the hospital anyway." A purple-haired woman said.
"Seriously?" asks Tokoha. "Yeah, it seems Shin sent me for some tests that Mikuru had taken." Misaki explains to Tokoha, and the green haired girl gets so excited that her eyes start to shine.
"Wait... Misaki-san, don't tell me that..." Tokoha said very excited. "It looks like..." Misaki responds. "Wooow!" Tokoha yells until a nurse shut her up.
"Let's talk about it some other time, they'll let Chrono go once he wakes up. Apparently he's still unconscious." Misaki explains to Tokoha what happened, but... She sees someone else...
"Iwuakura-san?" Tokoha is surprised to see the Kiba's butler.
"Oh, Tokoha-sama, it's strange to see her around." The old butler said.
"The same goes for me... Wait, something happened to Shion or Am?" said Tokoha, who cared more.
"I'm afraid so, Miss Am was attacked by a girl in traditional Japanese clothes. I don't know the reason why and..." Iwakura replied, but... Was interrupted by Shion, who was leaving Am's room. "But don't worry Tokoha, she's better now." Shion responds, until another voice comes out of the hall.
"By the way Tokoha... You shouldn't be in France?" asks Am, who comes out with a bandage. She tries to stand, but Shion helps her by holding her.
"Yes, but..." Tokoha responds, until Shion interrupts her. "Chrono's in the hospital?"
"How do you know that?" asks Tokoha.
"I saw Kazuma arrive with him, by the way Ibuki came to see us earlier, but since Chrono is still unconscious he told me that Chrono should take it easy. He also said he wanted to talk to us soon as possible." the blonde boy mentioned, while Iwakura filled out some papers so Am could get out of the hospital.
"Ok, I understand." Tokoha responds.
"I'm glad for Chorno, he'll have his personal nurse all day. Just don't do things that can tire him too much, if you know what I mean." joked Am.
"Am!" shouts Tokoha, who blushes at her friend's joke.
"Girls, we're in a hospital, Tokoha if you want you can stay. Since I still need to think about what I'm going to tell Shin and Mikuru, I don't want her to worry and have an accident." Misaki said, who was trying to get both girls to calm down.
Minutes later, everyone leaves the hospital. Tokoha is the only one who stayed, as she had good news to give Chrono, as well as some not-so-good ones. Unfortunately Chrono remained inconsistent until Tokoha's phone rang.
"Bonne Nuit, Anjou Tokoha. My friends in Paris told me that you return to Japan." said Claudine, who called Tokoha on the phone. "What are you doing there?" she asked.
"Bonne Nuit Saijo Claudine." said Tokoha, who leaves the room for a moment to answer his phone.
"Karen told me that Chrono found Junna and that they found Kaoruko, is that right?" the French girl asks.
"On that..." replies Tokoha, who informs her of what has happened. "Tomorrow Ibuki will talk to us to see what can we do." she added.
"This situation is very difficult and complicated..." sighs Claudine.
"By the way any news from Kagura?" asks Tokoha.
"No, Maya, Kai Toshiki and I are still in search. The only bad thing is that we've already lost a lot of classes." said Claudine.
"Don't worry, I'm sure you found Kagura. I have no doubt about that." Tokoha was looking to lift Claudine's spirits.
"Thank you... By the way, the girls and I were talking. And they think you took a good prize at the end of U20." Claudine was referring to the kiss Chrono gave to Tokoha at the end of U20.
"Oui, I think so too." Tokoha responds.
"Well, in Japan it must be night, so I'll let you rest, See you later." After that both girls hang up their cell phones and Tokoha returns to Chrono. "When he's asleep, he's so cute, he never gives trouble like that." Tokoha thought as she drew a smile on her face.
Meanwhile... Chrono was dreamed and in his dream all his friends had been defeated by a gigantic-looking figure, until Brant appears behind him and tells him... "Now you see, I told you it was all your fault. But you know whose fault it is, why are they all dead?" Chrono would stand if he knew what to do, until... "Even them..." Brant points to Chrono's family. Mikuru, Shin, Misaki... They were all there bloody including Tokoha and his family... Chrono suddenly gets up just to realize it was all a nightmare or not?
At the same time.
"Gancelot Peace Saver, attack." Aichi's attack deals final damage to his opponent.
"You were close, but not as close as Chrono-kun. Nice try, Yumizuki-san." Aichi said.
"Thank you, your Royal Paladin is awesome." Luna thanks the young blue haired.
"By the way, you know something about Chrono?" asks Luna.
"Ibuki went to see him at the hospital, apparently he still unconscious. But Misaki just said that Tokoha came from Paris and is staying with him." Aichi responded, taking his deck back. "I'm glad. I'm glad Tokoha-san is with him, Chrono-san has already made his decision. Maybe I should move forward and go my own way... When I met Chrono, I was very happy and thought I could be by his side forever, but I was wrong." Luna says it a little sad.
"You have a strong determination and your creativity makes you a nice person, I know that one day you will find someone who appreciates you for who you are. But... You have to promise me something." Aichi said, who was trying to support Luna.
"What should I promise you?" she asks.
"Don't think about risking your life or becoming Gyze's vessel." Aichi replied...
"Of course not, Why?" asks Luna again.
"You see, when I was your age, Link Joker was under the influence of the Void, I thought I'd take that power and seal myself to stop anyone from getting hurt, but there would still be people who thought that decision was a little selfish and cruel. If you have people you care about, please don't do that crazy thing." Aichi says it as he remembered his Battle against Kai.
"I promise." Luna replies... "perhaps I was very jealous that I didn't see the feelings of the others, but now... I will do what I can and find a new way." I thought Luna, while she remembered everything she'd done.
"Well, tomorrow Ibuki will talk to us. It's most likely about the incident that happened with Chrono-kun." Aichi added.
"Yes, I'll be there." Luna responds.
Meanwhile (In the hospital)
Chrono would wake up from his sleep or rather from his nightmare, only to realize that he was in the hospital and had a serum connected intravenously.
"Chrono! I'm glad you'll wake up..." said Tokoha, who was going to hug him, but..."Where am I?" asks the redhead.
"You are in the hospital..." Tokoha responds, but before she says anything else... Chrono gets out of his bed. "Tokoha, where is Juuna?" asks desperate Chrono, Tokoha hugs him tightly to calm him down and tells him. "She's fine, Nana and the others came a few hours ago when you were still asleep. So please calm down."
"Ok... I'll calm down" replies Chrono, who couldn't take that horrible dream out of his mind.
"Chrono, something happened... You look very tense?" asks Tokoha.
"No, I'm fine." lied the redhead.
"By the way... What are you doing here, shouldn't you be in France?" Chrono was looking to change the subject, but... Tokoha knew him pretty well. "Yes, Chrono seeks to change the subject, it's because I'm sure something happened." She thought.
"By the way... Ibuki wants to talk to all of us about what happened yesterday, so once you leave the hospital you'll have to go to the apartment." Tokoha commented, but Chrono was still looking away. "I also think you should congratulate Mikuru." Tokoha added.
"Eh?" Chrono reacts confused.
"Misaki and Shin think that Mikuru might be expecting a baby." Tokoha says still sitting next to him redhead.
"What?" react, surprised... You're kidding!" added Chrono who pretended happiness due to his dream, now he had to worry about his nephew.
"No, I'm not." said Tokoha happy, because her dream was to have a family too, but she knew she was still too young for that. "Chrono... You're fine, you seem a little pale." Tokoha adds when he sees Chrono, who kept faking his smile.
"No... Don't worry, I'm fine... Just give me my phone." Replied Chtono, who wanted to call Mikuru to congratulate her, but also wanted to call Shin.
"Yeah, sure." Tokoha tells him, and give his phone.
"I wonder who will be at this hour?" said Mikuru, who was walking to take the phone. "Yes, hello?" Mikuru asks.
"It's me Mikuru." Chrono responded. "Oh, it's you Chrono. Misaki-chan was here a few hours ago and said she gave you extra time since Shin was busy and…" before Mikuru spoke again, Chrono interrupts her…. "Congratulations…"
"Oh, so Misaki told you?" said Mikuru, who touched his belly. "Actually, it was Tokoha, she was the one who intuits when Misaki was talking with her in the store." Chrono responds.
"I just hope that kid has better luck than me." he thought... After an awkward silence.
"Oh, I almost forgot... Shin wanted to talk to you." His aunt said, who passed the phone to Shin. "Yeah, ok..." Chrono replied.
"Chrono-kun, everything is fine?" asks Shin to Chrono, as Mikuru walked away to prepare dinner.
"Yeah, why do you ask?" Chrono replies.
"When Mikuru left, Misaki said you had been taken to the hospital." Shin said it quietly so his wife wouldn't worry. "Don't worry, it's nothing serious. Just promise me that you will protect Mikuru and…" said Chrono, who still didn't know the sex of the newborn….
"Tokimi. The girl will be called Tokimi as your mother, it was Mikuru's idea." Shin replied. "That's amazing..." said Chrono, who was starting to cry. "You better keep your promise and protect them both." Chrono added.
"Of course they are my life. Be sure I'll take care of them." Shin said. "You have to take care of your loved ones, protect them with all your heart and soul." He added. After that Chrono and Shin say goodbye and both hang up the phone...
"And?" Tokoha asked excitedly. "It seems to be a girl." Chrono responds. "And his name will be Tokimi, like my mother." The redhead added.
"It's a very cute name, it's also a nice from Shin to give the girl your mother's name, don't you think?" Tokoha said.
"Well, yeah... I'm going to sleep." Chrono replies who lay in the hospital bed. "Do you think they let me out of the hospital tomorrow?" Chrono asks.
"Yeah. Besides, you just fainted, it wasn't the big deal…" Tokoha replies, who kisses Chrono on the cheek, but… Chrono when he closed his eyes, he imagined the things that Brant had mentioned to him and his friends falling into Gyze's hands. So Chrono grabs Tokoha and gives him a passionate and deep kiss.
"Woow!" Tokoha is so surprised that she didn't know what to say until he regained consciousness. "What was that?" she asked.
"I don't know, I'm going to sleep." Chrono replies, yawning without explaining Tokoha.
