The next morning, Kurumi, Zataku, and Nakahito got part-time jobs at a local café to occupy their days while Saki was being repaired. Kurumi claimed that she was doing it to raise funds, but the real reason was that she couldn't sit still.

"Can I take your order? What'll it be?" she joked as she crossed a bridge over a small canal hand-in-hand with Zataku," Oh, master, I can't wait to go to work with you. We are going to have the best time!"

"It's only a part time job, Kurumi." Said Nakahito.

"Oh, that's all right," she said, then asked," But since you bring it up, what is it a part-time job?" Zataku face vaulted into the ground so hard that he was twitching for a moment or so" Nevermind. Part-time, whole time. It doesn't matter to me so long as I can do it with master. By the way, what's a tip" That's right. You guessed it. BIG face vault.

A moment later, Kurumi looked behind for some reason.

"What's up, Kurumi?" Zataku asked.

"I just thought I saw someone," she answered, walking back to where she thought this person was. It turned out to be a young schoolgirl with very thick glasses, a white shirt, a short skirt, and tall white socks. Kurumi stared at her closely, and then said," Wow, those are some thick glasses. What are you? Blind?"

"Kurumi, you should be ashamed of yourself. Such a rude thing to say to a total stranger"

"Oh, good grief, she's not a stranger. Are you, Karinka?"

"Whoa! How the hell did you know that?!" Karinka yelled.

"Oh, it's so cute. You're playing dress-up. But I'm not fooled. Can't fool me. I'd know those beautiful legs anywhere"

Karinka kicked Kurumi back, and yelled," What the hell do you think you're doing?! Get off my leg! Oh, all right. Now that the cat's out of the bag," she said, throwing off her disguise of a wig and glasses," You can't understand how much it means to me that you recognized me" Then, Karinka hugged her older sister.

"Well, of course I recognized you cause we're sisters and we share a very special bond. But, I don't understand, after I brought you back, you left me. Where have you been all this time?"

"Well, when I was revived by your kiss, I just like such a different new person inside. I felt so bad about what I'd done"

There was a small pause, then Kurumi said," I knew the kiss would turn you into a much better person. Now, you and I are going to be best friends forever. I know, Zataku and I are going to our part time job at a café. I think you'd make a fabulous waitress. Come on" She grabbed Karinka's wrist, and pulled her up.

"Wait!"

"Yeah, wait," Zataku said, crossing his arms.

"We gotta go, master, we don't wanna be late"

"I know, but I kind of have this... thing against those who try to kill me"

"Oh, master, don't worry about a thing. Karinka will be just fine. The power of my kiss gave her a personality makeover"

"Honestly, I can't find any other reason for my sudden sunny disposition other than our loving and magical embrace, Kurumi. Can't you please make your master understand that?"

"Come on, master, give the kid a break," Kurumi asked," I'll keep an eye on her, master; I promise everything will be all right. Please?" she now had on what Zataku liked to call her "love-me" pout.

"Against my better judgment, I'll allow it"

"Thank you, master!" Kurumi exclaimed, hugging Zataku close for the fiftieth time in this fanfic," You're so sweet. That's why I love you so much! Now that that's settled, let's all go to the café and be waitresses"

Nakahito and Zataku said in unison," Excuse me?"

They went to the café called the "Ebisu milk hall", and headed for the dressing rooms where their team was divided in half. Upon dressing in a waiter outfit, Zataku approached Nakahito, who was straitening his bow tie in the mirror, slapped him on the back, and said," Looking real spiffy there, preacher boy"

"Why do you always call me that? I'm not a preacher. I'm a priest in training"

"Because the name fits, that's why. Oh, by the way, that thing you did in the last battle, 'Makai Tenjou', was it? That was awesome. But, what was it supposed to do?"

"It's a binding prayer. It was supposed to stop, Karinka"

"My advice, buddy. Stick to the sidelines. Hey, the girls' locker room is right next-door. Wanna give a listen?" Nakahito didn't say anything, but he did press his ear against the wall along with Zataku.

Kurumi squealed," Oh, Karinka, look at you. You have the cutest little set of boobies"

"Does she even have boobs?" Zataku asked," I thought she was a man"

"Will you quit it? Stop looking at me!" Karinka said.

"No, really. My boobs are so big and heavy. They are murder on my back, and jogging? Forget it"

Zataku quipped again," Nosebleed, aisle two!"

"Oh, I feel your pain. I'm flat as a board! Quit complaining!"

"You can say that again," said Zataku, snickering.

"Believe me, you don't know what it's like. I'd rather have cute little ones like these," said Kurumi.

"Get your hands off me!"

"Oh, don't be a baby"

"Knock it off!"

"C`Mon, just let me poke em one more time"

"No!"

"Please?"

"I said NO!!"

Kurumi sighed, and said," Well, let's get dressed and downstairs then"

"But before we do. I have an annoying little joker to play. I think he's right... here?" Then, Karinka slammed her fist right through the wall, nailing Zataku directly in the side of the head. "Thought I was a man, huh? Can say that again, eh? If I wasn't honor right now, I would so kick your ass!"

"Pain. I don't like pain. But it likes me. Ow. Owie. Ouch," said Zataku as he lied on the floor, twitching.

So, they went to work, if you'd call it that. Kurumi couldn't get one dish to one table without an apocalypse. Luckily, either Zataku or Nakahito was around to either help clean up or make a nice save. Zataku would have been able to save them all, but his face still hurt from where he was punched. Karinka even walked directly into a support beam once, making a simply massive amount of pain. It seemed, in the anime world that the little and humiliating things were what hurt the most.

While she was down, and rubbing her nose, Nakahito offered her a hand, and asked," Are you alright?" However, she got up without taking it, and stood, holding her head high. "Waiting tables isn't easy, but you'll get the hang of it"

"Really?"

"Yeah, and I'm sorry about what Zataku said. He's... well, although he is the king of all demons, he's a bit of an idiot"

"Who's an idiot?!" he snapped at Nakahito.

Karinka thought," Oh look at him. He's being so... sweet"

"See ya then," he said as he turned back to the tables. She stared at the boy for a moment when Kurumi came up with a squished goofy face, scaring her and ruining her thoughts. "What the hell do you think you're doing, you stupid pink bitch!? I mean, please don't scare me like that, sweetie"

"Hey, what's wrong? You look kinda goopy," Kurumi said in a goofy voice.

"No, I'm just fine. I can't deal with her and that self-proclaimed demon king anymore! She's a moron! He's a smart mouth! I've had it! Seriously, I've had it! Oh, gee whiz, look at the time. Let's take a break" Karinka led Kurumi onto the roof, and said to her," you and I are really close, right? So, we can tell each other anything, right? Right?! Well, you're just so beautiful and so strong, you have the most charming personality, and the biggest set of knockers I've ever seen, and you're just amazing, and I'd give anything in the world to be like you. So how about telling me what you're secret is, will ya?"

"I'm sorry, Karinka. I don't have a secret," Kurumi said, innocent as could be.

"LOOK, YOU STUPID BITCH, QUIT FUCKING WITH ME!!!!" Karinka yelled, but then amended," Just look at how much passion you arouse in me. I mean it; I would give anything in the world to be like you. Blech! I'm choking on it! Choking! Kurumi, please tell me the secret of why you're so strong"

Kurumi blushed, and said," Oh, you are so sweet; you're making me blush. I don't consider it a secret, but of course I'll tell you!"

"Really?" asked Karinka hopefully, but then thought," Finally! All this sucking up bullshit's gonna pay off!"

"So you really wanna know the secret to my strength?" Kurumi asked. Karinka nodded. Then, the pink haired beauty thought for several minutes, anime question marks appearing in the air all around her.

Finally, when Karinka could stand it no longer, she yelled," Oh goddammit! Just forget it! Forget I even asked!"

"Karinka, what's wrong?" Kurumi asked as her little sister stormed back into the café. However, her rage didn't last for long. In the stairwell, she bumped into Nakahito, making her blush crimson and run away.

"What're you doing up here, Kurumi? We need your help downstairs"

Later that night, when all the adults, kids, and rivals had retired, Zataku and Kurumi sat out on the porch attached to their room. Kurumi was wearing a blue kimono with designs of long stemmed plants with golden flowers all over it. Her hair was untied, as Zataku had requested she do earlier, really showing off her beauty. They stared up at the stars. Kurumi was just looking, but Zataku was identifying different constellations.

"Looks like Karinka ran off again," Kurumi said.

"Good Riddance if you ask me. Damn, it still hurts," Zataku replied, rubbing the side of his face," So, Nakahito tells me that you and Karinka were talking on the roof today? What were you talking about?"

Unbeknownst to them, Karinka was on the roof directly above them. She thought," That's it. You find out for me"

"Nothing much. She just had a little question she wanted to ask me"

"Which was?"

"She wanted to know why I was so energetic all the time. That made me wonder. Why am I so energetic and powerful and I can do things that other people can't. I thought about it, and I really think I figured out why. You did it. I got this way because you kissed me, master"

"You know, around that time, things started to happen to me as well," Zataku agreed," I got stronger, had visions, and then I became the king of demons, just like that. And let me tell you, it kicks ass! All of this began with a kiss"

"I don't know why, but the power of your kiss gave me something every special and powerful"

"That's it," Karinka thought," That's the secret of her power. Thanks a lot, big mouth. Get ready, Zataku. Soon your lips are gonna be all mine!"

Then, Zataku said," I known that you've been up there for quite some time, Karinka. Come and join us. I don't mind" She gasped, and then ran off. "Oh well. Say, Kurumi, why don't we reenact that scene where we kissed?"

"Oh, master. Do you mean it?"

"As my demon councilors would say," Now is not the time for words. Now is the time for action" Zataku stroked Kurumi's cheek, as their faces got closer and closer until their lips met. Zataku pressed the kiss harder, and wrapped his arms around her. That night, the two lovers that no one would ever guess, an angel and the king of all demons fell asleep in each other's arms.
