A/N: Soooooooooooory for the looooong wait for this chapter I swear I'll

Reunited! Oh, and this chapter came in later than it should because my

look at it, therefore I didn't turn it in as soon as I finished this
chapter...
Disclaimer: Nope nope nope I don't own Any Ayashi No Ceres person here or anything. Just the Plot and yah! But maybe I if beg, I can keep and own Yuuhi and Aki...and maybe Alec...But like that'll happen...even though I wish it could...

"Long ago," Alec began, "there was a fisherman passing by a lake. And within that lake were heavenly maidens or celestial beings. It was one of the rare times the heavenly maidens went down to earth to bathe in a lake. The fisherman was spellbound by these beautiful women as he hid behind a tree watching them. But he knew they won't stay long. He looked up into the tree and saw feathered robes hanging over the branches. Immediately he knew that they belong to the celestial beings. So he snatched one of them and hid them because he knew that without them, a celestial being couldn't return to heaven. So when it was time for them to go back home, one of them was left behind since she couldn't find her robe. At once she spotted the same fisherman who took her robe and asked him if he took it. If so, she wanted him to give it back to her. But he denied having it. Having nothing to do, the maiden became his wife and bore him children. And while listening to one of her children sing a nursery rhyme, she found the hiding place of her hidden feathered robes and she took it back and went to heaven without saying good-bye to her children and husband." (Eeek! I don't know how to tell the story!)
Chidori listened very well to the story but was still puzzled at the mystery of its connection with the Mikages. "Okay. I think I heard this story before. But why didn't she say good-bye to her children? Wouldn't she miss them?"
"Chidori! I said only one question!" Yuuhi scolded.
"But Dad! I know you won't answer my questions!"
Alexander laughed. "Come again some other time and I'll answer more of your questions. But next time, ask your father, okay?" Alec rubbed Chidori's head as some tears fell out from her eyes.
"Thank-you for letting us into your house Alec. It was nice meeting you again," Yuuhi called as he stepped out the door and went on his way with Chidori.
Stepping into the doorway, watching them leave, Alec had a vigilant eye on young Chidori. "I must say. She's the spitting image of Chidori Kuruma. Is it any wonder she wants to know about this."
***About four hours later***
"Aya! We're home!" Yuuhi called as he walked back into the house with Chidori. He expected Aya to come running into his arms, but she didn't. "Chidori, it's late. So brush your teeth and go to bed."
"'Kay, Dad. Good-night!" Chidori ran towards the bathroom to do what she was told.
Yuuhi went into the master bedroom to see if Aya was already asleep, but she wasn't there. So he continued searching the house for her and found her at the dining table looking solemn. "Aya, what's wrong? I thought you would've rushed to the door to greet me and Chidori."
Aya looked up to her husband. "Oh! Yuuhi! When did you get home? Did you get Chidori?"
Yuuhi stood just stood in his place for moment and sighed. "Yes, I did get Chidori, and we just got home."
Aya forced a smile. "Oh, that's great! I do hope none of you are harmed." Then she went back into looking solemn.
Yuuhi became sad seeing Aya this way. "Aya, what's on your mind?"
Aya's eyes began to well up with tears. "Oh, Yuuhi!" She fell into his arms. "I don't know what to do! Aki had some kind of memory of when we were enemies! He wants to know what happened and I don't want to tell him. But now, he's giving me an attitude because of it!"
'Damn! Aki too?' thought Yuuhi. The martial artist held his wife tightly in his embrace. "Don't worry Aya. I'm going through the same thing with Chidori. We'll get through this together."
Aya nodded as she broke free from his embrace. She sat back down in the chair she was sitting on and laid her head on one of her arms on the dining table, humming a song.
Yuuhi grinned. "That's the song you would sing to Aki and Chidori when they were still babies, isn't it?"
Aya closed her eyes. "Yes, it was. Humming it makes me calm down and be peaceful." She paused for awhile, still humming the song, and then sighed. "Everything is so peaceful." The mother kept on humming.
Yuuhi drew out a chair across of his wife and laid his head on one of his arms too. With his free arm, he held Aya's free hand as she kept on humming a lullaby. Now, Yuuhi too closed his eyes, but not from weariness. It was peaceful. Husband and wife were so relaxed with their children hopefully asleep now. He desperately wished that things would be like they were now. Soon the humming faded away, so Yuuhi opened his eyes to see why. Aya fell asleep at the dining table. Smiling, Yuuhi got up and picked Aya up in his arms and crept to the bedroom to rest for the night, for tomorrow is another day.
***
Aya woke up and looked at the clock on their drawer close to their bed as saw it was already 10 in the morning. She slept in. Turning the other way, she saw her son sitting beside her, smirking at her. Startled, Aya got up quickly, panting for air. "Aki! What are you doing here?"
"Dad and Chidori went out grocery shopping since you were asleep. So we are here alone. So I thought I'd kinda scare you when you woke up."
"Well, you succeeded." Aya looked the other way for a moment, and then looked back at Aki. "Aki, are you still mad at me?"
"Naw. I know you're stubborn so I shouldn't try to ask you bout what I saw yesterday."
Aya giggled at his comment. "Yeah, but you're stubborn, too. So I thought you might still bug me about yesterday."
"I do still want to know about yesterday. But I know you won't tell me. Nor would Yuuhi."
"What now? You're calling your father, Yuuhi now?"
"I'm still trying to get used to call you Mom instead of Aya. But it's not as bad because I'm already used to calling Yuuhi, Dad."
"What time did Yuuhi and Chidori leave anyway?"
"About an hour ago. Why?"
"I thought they'd be back by now. But if they left only an hour ago, I guess they're almost done by now."
"So we're still gonna be alone for awhile. Why don't we do the stuff we always did when we were teenagers. Well, I'm still a teenager."
Aya had a big smile. "Let's grab out the karaoke machine!"
Aki sweat dropped. "Maybe I shouldn't have come up with that idea."
"C'mon, Aki!" Aya called as she rushed out of the room.
***Forty-Five Minutes later***
"Aya! We're home!" Yuuhi called as he and Chidori hauled in bags of groceries.
"Haruka na hoshi zora ni yume wa mada..." (The song is "Scarlet" well that's the English title sang by Junko Iwao)
"Aya!" Aki shook his sister Aya. "They're back!"
"Fine! Ruin my song when I just started singing it!" Aya snapped.
"But you sang that five times already!" Aki hollered.
Yuuhi and Chidori laughed as the two argued with each other.
Aya sighed, looking back at that one time when she sang with her friends and Aki........... the day before things changed dramatically....... the day before her birthday. 'If things continued to be the same from then......... would things be the way they are now?'
***Four years and five months later***
"Happy birthdaaaaaaaaaay toooooo yoooooouuuuuu!" Sang Aya, Yuuhi, and Aki.
Chidori had a big grin on her face.
"C'mon, Chidori! Blow out your candles!" said Yuuhi.
Chidori couldn't help smiling. She turned sweet sixteen today. Looking at the cake Yuuhi made, she finally blew the sixteen candles.
As soon as she did that, Aya and Yuuhi looked intensively at Chidori.
Chidori shivered and then saw that her parents were looking at her, cautiously. "Is there something wrong with my face, Aya? Yuuhi?"
Chidori walked to the closest mirror. This sixteen year old Chidori didn't look like she was twelve years old. Astounded, she touched her face, and grabbed her big chest. "When did I look like this? I thought I looked like I was twelve?!"
Yuuhi and Aya were rather happy. They knew this was Chidori reborn. The biggest difference was that unlike her past life, who was a sixteen year old who looked like a child, she currently looks like one her age. Chidori was taller, more mature, and actually looking like she really is sixteen.
