Murakumo paced restlessly as he awaited his soul mate's entrance into the hall of binding. If one were looking, one would be very surprised and captivated by the godlike man that paced. His purple-black tresses were pulled back at his nape and he was dressed in white ceremonial robes that had a golden trim. Though the godlike visage stopped when one looked at his face.his face was showing the price that he paid for his worrying. He had large dark circles under his eyes and his pronounced features were gaunt from all that he had faced. He spun about quickly as he heard the chamber doors open and gaped. His intended though unconscious, was a small shine of radiance in the vast darkness that had been his world.she was clothed in a robe that was similar in fashion, yet vastly different for where his robe was a pristine white, hers was a cosmic silver, and where his carried golden trim, hers bore an iridescent trim that swam with every color of the rainbow. She was carried in by her father, Susano-oh and was laid on the white marble alter of binding. Murakumo immediately rushed to his beloved and held her hand in his as Susano-oh began the ritual. "Murakumo, do you promise to love, cherish, and protect her with all of your might for eternity?" asks the solemn god. "Yes, I would walk through the hells and back if only to keep her safe and happy." He responded. "Though my daughter cannot state her thoughts and vows.. she has told me in the past of her love for you and with that love I will bind the two of you for all of eternity." Susano-oh then takes both of their hands, slashes each palm, and presses them together. "With this exchange of blood the two of you will live on together, but know this whatever happens to one, if not cured in time, happens to the other so that if one should die, the other will shortly follow." And with that he took a green and silver ribbon and bound their hands yet again. While he said this, Murakumo was feeling the bond beginning to grow and prosper and noticed that Serena's eyes began to open. "What happened?" She asked. "You were hurt severely and if the Kushinada doesn't find the casshin star rose soon then you and your love will perish!" "Father how could Murakumo die if I did?" "We bound you and he together to save your life." "Ahh.no wonder I feel so complete and happy." "I'm glad that you like this bond Serenity since we are going to be together forever. I really wouldn't have wanted the woman that I hold dear to be unhappy with this binding that I did out of love." States a relieved Murakumo. "I'm fine.in fact one of the reasons I've been pining away was that I felt something was incomplete and that something was not being with you!" and with that she was swished up into Murakumo's arms and carried out of the room. Momiji jerked as she saw Serena awake and immediately ran over to the happy couple. "Oh my gosh! You're alright!" she squeals. She then remembers her quest and asks, "Where is the galaxy cauldron?" "It's located on the furthest and faintest star in the milky way the null star." "Ah thank you now I know where to search!" and with that she drug Kusanagi and the team out of the room to leave the couple to themselves. Meanwhile at Chaos' Lair Chaos was peering through the crystal flames that showed him the progress of his niece.he didn't like the way that things were going.not one bit.. "Starlights come forth!" "Yes Chaos?" the three stated "You three will do everything in your power to stop the Kushinada from getting that flower . if you fail.you know what happens." While fingering his wristbands. "We shall not fail!" and with that the Starlights headed out in search of some way to stop the Kushinada.
