Serena lay unconscious in one of Kaede's spare rooms.  Susano-oh quickly rose and began examining his daughter.  After a few moments, the calm, serene god of green left the room and began to swear in many long dead languages.  All talking ceased at this point for they all knew that if Susano-oh had gotten to the point of swearing Serena was in dire straits.

"She has had a total memory block and that bastard tried to rip out her starseed!" screamed the agitated god.

"Tried, my love?" asked Kaede.

"Yes, tried, the result caused her memories to disappear and her starseed to shatter while still in her body."

"What! Are you telling me that the light of my world lays dying in that bed because that bastard tried and failed to steal her starseed!"  Seethed Murakumo who was currently thinking of ways to make Chaos wish it had never been born.

"Yes. And to make matters worse, when he couldn't steal it, he tried to corrupt it thus causing her seed to shatter. And the only way to save her is to lifebond her to you, Murakumo for the time being while we search for the legendary casshin star rose which is said to heal even the most dire cases in starseeds."

"Where is this star rose?" asks Momiji, feeling slightly responsible for Serena's current condition.

"It is rumored to be found in the darkest place of the galaxy, where no light nor life exsists, otherwise known as the Galaxy Cauldron. No one other than Serena knew where it was so you shall have a difficult task in finding and obtaining it, should you wish to go lady Kushinada."

"I do wish to."

"And I as well, If only to keep Momiji from harm since it's my duty and pleasure." states Kusanagi.

"Then let the bonding and the quest begin."
