It was late at night again. Kurumi, Zataku, and Nakahito were waiting for Dr. Amagi's team to finish up repairs on Saki.
"They should be here already," Kurumi said, worried out of her mind.
"Karinka really did a number on Saki. Maybe the last examination is taking longer than they thought" No sooner had he uttered these words that the sliding paper doors opened.
"Amagi," Zataku greeted.
"Dr. Amagi, where's Saki?" Kurumi asked.
"Well," she sighed.
"Well, what?" Kurumi pressed.
There was an awkward pause where no one seemed to want to speak, then Zataku said," Quit being so damn dramatic and tell us"
Saki walked into the room, good as new with the exception of the enormous bow tied at her neck. "Saki? What the hell?"
"It's you!" Kurumi said, happily.
"I'm back, and I'm fine," the brown haired angel said.
"Good to have to you back, Saki. Hasn't been the same without you"
Kurumi hugged her little sister, and said," Welcome back, Saki!"
"You look great, Saki! Really," Nakahito agreed," but what's up with the bow?"
"That's exactly what I was going to ask"
Amagi laughed, and said," It was Saki's idea really"
"You saved my life, so I'm presenting myself as a present to you, Kurumi"
"Oh, Saki, I'm the one who should be getting you a homecoming present"
"Now that Saki's back, we can finally move onto Izumo and find Zataku a cure"
"What makes you think I want a cure now? Being the god of demonkind kicks ass! But one thing is really getting to me. I really stuck my neck out in the fight against Karinka. Why does no one ever show gratitude for it?"
"Here's your prize, master," Kurumi said, pecking Zataku on the cheek.
"I'm happy now!" he said.
Later, at around noon, Zataku and the others were getting on the train to Izumo when he heard a familiar voice," Kurumi, wait! Saki!"
"Aw, damn it!" Zataku moaned.
"Saki, I'm so sorry! Please forgive me! Saki, I can't believe I did all those terrible things to you. I wouldn't blame you if you were still angry. I wish there was something I could say to make you forgive me," Karinka said, sobbing into her hands.
"I'm still not buying it," Zataku thought.
Saki said," Oh, Karinka. Don't feel bad. Kurumi told me about everything that's happened, and it's okay. I'm fine now"
"Saki, thank you. You're so sweet" Karinka said, tearfully.
The conductor yelled," All aboard!" to signify that the train had begun to move. "Can I have the window?" Karinka asked. Amagi sat to the other edge of the seat with Kurumi next to her, and beside her, always, was Zataku. Across from Zataku was Karinka, and beside her were Saki and Nakahito in that order.
A few minutes later, Karinka got out of her seat to admire the scenery, and then she moved closer and closer to Zataku with her lips. Right before she reached her goal, Kurumi got in front of Zataku to admire the scenery as well.
"Oh wow! The ocean! It's just so big!" Before Karinka could pull away, she had accidentally kissed Kurumi on the cheek. Saki gasped, and Zataku looked at Karinka like she was a freak.
Karinka thought, "Ack! I kissed her! I need some bleach!"
Kurumi said, blushing deep crimson," Oh, what a sweet little smooch! I can't believe I let you do that!"
"Oh, well I..." Karinka began, and then had an idea," I just love you so much, Kurumi, I couldn't help it"
"Join the club," Zataku said, smiling at his pink-haired princess.
"You are the sweetest thing!" Kurumi said," Master's the only one who can kiss me, but I guess it's okay since it wasn't on the lips" Then, she kissed Karinka on the cheek to return the favor.
"Wait a minute," Saki said," How come I don't get one?"
A little while later, Karinka said," Ow! My eye! There's something in my eye!"
"You gonna live?" Zataku asked.
"No, and I can't see! It hurts! Zataku, please get it out for me! Please!"
"I guess I am the god of all demonkind so I handle this" He moved her head closer so he could get a better look, when he noticed that she was moving her lips towards his. The second he noticed this, Saki palm-thrusted her on the check very hard.
"WHAT THE FUCK IS YOUR PROBLEM?!" Karinka bellowed at Saki. Zataku had to laugh seeing as the swelling on her cheek looked like some sort of alien mutation. She quickly amended," I mean, what did you do that for, Saki? Kind of hurt"
Saki held a hand with a bee plastered in it, and said," Didn't want you to get stung"
"Oh, thanks, Saki. I owe you one. And believe you me, I can't wait to pay you back, you stupid dike!"
Later, Karinka pulled the cap off a bottle of tea, and said," My gosh, I'm just so thirsty" However, she had timed it so that the track turned when she opened the bottle, and it spilled on Zataku's shirt.
"Hey!" he said.
"Oh, I'm so sorry"
"Oh, master, you poor little thing. Let me get you a towel or something to wipe it off," Kurumi said.
"No," Karinka said," Kurumi, let me do it. I'm so clumsy. It's all my fault. Let me take responsibility for my actions" Before Kurumi could say anything, Karinka grabbed Zataku's hand, and dragged the king of demons to the back of the train.
"It's okay! Really!" he said, but to no avail.
Upon their arrival outside, Karinka said," Alright, off."
"You've got to be kidding," Zataku said.
"You're clothes will dry faster out here"
"Absolutely not!"
"Come on!" she said, getting agitated. Zataku decided that this was as good a time as any to try a new spell he had developed.
"HAND OF PYRO!!!" an inferno erupted from his outstretched palm, and scorched Karinka rather badly. "Let that be a lesson. My heart belongs to Kurumi, and Kurumi only" Suddenly, the track jarred again, and Zataku was thrown against Karinka. He wasn't sure, but he thought his lips connected against Karinka's for a second or two. When he got up, he saw that his suspicions were true. His face was directly on top of the blonde angel's.
"Aha! I don't believe it! I can feel myself getting more and more powerful by the second!"
"And I can feel your lifespan getting shorter and shorter by the quarter second. THE BITE OF LIGHTNING!!!" a bolt of blue fury descended from the heavens, utterly frying Karinka. He opened the door, and stepped back inside, but taking care first to lock the door just in case Karinka survived.
Minutes later, the train arrived at the Izumo station. Zataku's group, minus Karinka got off. Zataku was holding Kurumi's hand, and said," Hey, Kurumi, look a stand of kettle rice. You love kettle rice, right?"
"Oh, I just love kettle rice!," Kurumi said, going starry-eyed over the selection.
"So do I," Saki said.
"So yummy it's hard to choose"
Karinka, who had unfortunately not died from the lightning bolt, yelled," Hey, Kurumi! I've got something for ya! But you're not gonna like what I'm serving!" Karinka reeled back for a punch as she charged Kurumi.
Zataku said," I've had enough of this shit! BARRIER OF EARTH!!" he thrusted veins of power into the ground beneath him through his feet, and caused it to rise up in front of Karinka. He enjoyed the dull thud he heard when the insane android smacked into it.
"What's wrong? I'm not any stronger at all!" she moaned. Then, she remembered that Kurumi had a mark II heart while she only had two angel hearts. "a mark II heart? So does a god's kiss only work on a mark II heart? No way! Shit, that sucks..." she moaned as she fell backward.
She was caught by Nakahito who said," You know, it's not too smart to walk backwards" Karinka jumped, and blushed as she spun around to face him.
Zataku said," Hey, Nakahito, I think you're getting a secret admirer there. Too bad she's as flat as a board though. AH!!!" Zataku ducked to avoid Karinka's punch, and then actually stood on Nakahito's head! "My newest passive ability: Feather. It reduces my weight. Well, I'll leave you two lovebirds alone"
It had turned out that Amagi had miscalculated, and they had to take on more train to get to Izumo. Zataku didn't care, but Karinka really seemed to like that. She didn't sit across from Zataku this time, but across from Nakahito. As Kurumi laid her head on Zataku's shoulder, he noticed that Karinka had been looking, starry-eyed at the sleeping Nakahito for almost five consecutive minutes, and it was really beginning to get on his nerves.
"So, Karinka, are you going to ask him?"
"What are you talking about?"
"I can read souls, you know. I know what emotions you're feeling, so just ask him to sit with you"
"Uh..."
"Go on. He doesn't care if you're as flat as..."
"You don't want to finish that sentence," she warned.
"Well, what I'm trying to say is that you should be open about it instead of hiding your feelings. When I was mortal, I tried that once with a girl I liked before Kurumi, and it nearly killed me. So, just admit it and go with that. Isn't that right, my pink haired princess?" he said, kissing Kurumi on the lips. Despite how much she hated Zataku, she had to admit that he did have a point. So, she rose from her seat, and hugged Nakahito's arm. He instantly turned red-faced, but didn't object.
"I'm so good, I impress my self sometimes. But then again, I am god," Zataku thought as he drifted into a deep sleep.
"They should be here already," Kurumi said, worried out of her mind.
"Karinka really did a number on Saki. Maybe the last examination is taking longer than they thought" No sooner had he uttered these words that the sliding paper doors opened.
"Amagi," Zataku greeted.
"Dr. Amagi, where's Saki?" Kurumi asked.
