Sakuragi woke up, rubbing his puffy eyes from crying too much last night. A body shifted beside him "Rukawa alive?" He turned over to see Sendoh sleeping soundly with the forever- smiling smile on his face. He smiled softly to himself and got off the bed, remembering what happened the night before.

-Night B4- After Mitsui and Kogure left, Sendoh walked back into the room to see Sakuragi about to pour the bottle of poison down his throat. He rushed toward him and hit the bottle away. "What in the world are you doing?" Sakuragi covered his face with his hands and started sobbing. "Sendoh.I can't take it any longer." Sendoh put a comforting arm around him "Be strong, Sakuragi. Be strong." "But I can't! I love him too much! I want to be with him." Sendoh gave a tight slap across Sakuragi's cheek. "Baka! Get back on Earth! He is already dead. D-E-A-D. DEAD! I am sure he hate seeing you like that!" Sakuragi touched the stingy feeling of his now swollen cheek. No one had ever slapped him before at all. Even his parents or even Kaede. " I am sorry about slapping you.it is just that I hate seeing you in this state." Sendoh murmured softly, pulling Sakuragi into an embrace. Before they both knew it, Sakuragi fell asleep "Thank you, Akira." __________________ ****************************________________________________

Meanwhile somewhere in the spirit world. Rukawa was wandering about, now with him was a fiery red fox with blue eyes. "Kit-Chan" he called the fox, just like the way Hanamichi used to call him. One thing unique of the fox was that it can talk and also the Spirit Guide to guide spirit to the right path. "Kaede, where are we going?" "No idea, Kit chan.". How did the both meet? Here it goes.

After Rukawa left the apartment, he bumped into an evil spirit. "Ooh.A new fresh spirit. Now how do you taste like?" Rukawa was stunned with fear, closing his eyes, he tried to melt back into the wall bit his back contact a solid wall. Just as the evil spirit was about to grab him, a flash of red light separated them. Next thing he knew, was the evil spirit moaning away into thin air. And standing in front of him was chibi little fox. "Hi, I am your spirit guide and I just rescued you from the evil spirit." "Evil Spirit?" The little fox nodded its head and continued "Yes, in the spirit world there are two types of spirit. The Evil and the Goo. The good will return to heaven or just wander around earth and the Evil are actually humans who died from greed and injustice, so they will keep eating little good soul like you in order to grow more powerful. Apparently that one is 500 years old.you are lucky to escape." "What is your name?" "I have no name, but now you are my owner so you have the right to give me any name that is not stupid example like fuffy or fur ball." "Kit-chan" "Kit-chan, okay then."

Kit-chan followed his master in his wandering, to heaven knows where. "Kaede, I am hungry." Whined the little fox.Kaede sighed and patted the fox head "I will bring you to a place where you and I will stay." "Where?"

-Sakuragi's apartment- Sendoh woke up and shocked to find himself in other environment. What's worse was that he was hugging the body of the late Rukawa Kaede. "No wonder I had so much nightmare about Rukawa." He got off the bed and walked out to the living room to find no one there. "Where is the hell is Sakuragi Hanamichi" A horrible verse of 'Ore wan Tensei' hit his ears. "Okay, he is in the bathroom

Ding dong Ding dong.

Sendoh rushed to open the door "Coming!" He opened the door to greet the air. "Huh? No one?" His eyes followed down to see.
