Thanks to: All of you out there who have supported me through this whole week of writing 'Just another ST fic. Yeah.', thank you all! (I just can't believe I finished writing my first complete Sakura Taisen fanfic in just ONE WEEK.)

EPILOGUE - Longest Day in the Teigeki. REALLY long.

Sakura looked at the clock. "Why is it still 3.30?!!!" she exclaimed. Kouran told her that when she sent them back, she did not change the time from when they left. Sakura nodded. "I see..."

"Oh yes, Kouran. How did you know where Leni and I was?" Maria asked with interest. "Heheh...You see, I have this metal detector on the machine, so I just prayed that you brought your gun and Sumire-han wasn't with you!" Maria understood the first part, but she didn't see why Sumire couldn't be with her. Sumire was interested in this too. So Kouran explained. "As you know, Sumire-han always has silver or gold of some sort on her, so if she was with Maria-han, I couldn't possibly find all of you as all of us were separated into groups of less than 5. So I tried to detect Maria-han with her METAL gun, and Sumire-han with her JEWELLERY. Get it?" The Hanagumi let out a loud, "OH!" of realisation.

"Hehe...It was hard on the 3 of you, ne?" Kouran asked Sakura, Kanna and Sumire.

"Of course, kisama! Why don't you try running as high speed for about 50 minutes with a dinosaur RIGHT behind you?"

"And without a naginata too! Not even this country bumpkin's sword!"

"*Arigato Oto-sama, for protecting me...* Huh? Oh. Right. Sumimasen! Hontou ni sumimasen, Sumire-san!"

"Don't be too hard on her, snake woman."

"My being hard to her is none of your business."

"Why you...!"

"Stop it you two! After running for almost an hour you still so much breath left in you, huh?" Maria kept her lips from turning up in a smile. The two realised that they were really tired, and everybody left the room to take a bath and take a rest.

Kouran watched as everyone left. "Na, Tokirou-chan, it's you and me now...AHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!! Why is there such a BIG dent in your side? Poor Tokirou-chan! *hugs* That darned dinosaur..." She set herself to repair her beloved time machine.

A few hours later...

"ITADAKIMASU~!!!" The Hanagumi were about to eat their dinner when the battle alarm sounded. Everybody groaned with the exception of Maria and Leni. The two serious people. (Hehe...) "Na, Maria-han?" Kouran said with a smile.

"TEIKOKU KAGEKIDAN, SANJOU!!"
