Chapter 12

Shuichi Minamino walks out of the school building and smiles. A group of girls were behind him all of them talking about different things. One of them walks up next to him and asks him something about the math homework in the class they had together. He looks at the problem quickly and explains it to her just as quick.

This happens a few times as he sits in the school yard doing his own home work. Every now and then one of them would walk over to him and ask a, some times stupid, question and he would explain then they would leave.

Then after about twenty minutes a loud roar of a motorcycle rides up next to the gate. He looks up just like all of the rest of the populace. But what he saw he just wasn't prepared for.

The rider pulls off their helmet and looks around the school yard. But just by looking at them, you could tell it was a female. But what caught his attention wasn't the lime green hair or the startling green eyes, but the four inch green lace bands around her arms.

She puts her legs over to one side of the bike and Kurama stands up. He walks over to her as she smirks and watches him, even as he walks through the groups of people. He stops a few feet in front of her a smiles.

"excuse me, sir," She says in a sarcastic voice, "It would seem I need help on my…" She looks at he book in his hand, "calculus homework. Could you help me?" He smiles and rolls his eyes.

"You don't take school Ami."

"That's why I need help, dugh!" He laughs a little and she puts her leg back over to the other side and smiles putting the helmet back on. "Get on," She says before slipping it over her head. He shakes his head and gets on the bike. She smiles in the helmet, "Hold no." He cringes a little and she takes off, ten mph to fast.

Ami drives through the city taking the longest way she knew and stop s finally along the river. She lets him off after cutting the engine. She takes off the helmet and looks at him getting of the bike. "You know… you should have been holding on tighter. I could have wrecked." He scoffs.

"if that happened, the last thing I would be worried about is holding on to tight." She nods.

"Fair." He looks around.

"What are we doing here?" She smirks.

"I have to ask you a question." He looks at her hair.

"I have a couple of my own." She nods. "You first."

"Why do you think we came back?" He shrugs.

"Never really knew why you left." She smiles.

"But you did. If you asked Touya you did."

"He said you had a funeral to go to." She nods.

"Yes we did. Just we had to kill the abomination first." He looks confused. "The Saint. The personage that was controlling the Saints."

"So it's dead?" She nods.

"And so are the Saints." Now he looked really confused. "We're the NeoSaints now." He nods.

"New age Saints." She nods.

"Kid's idea. To stay together, after the little incident."

"Incident." She shrugs.

"Maybe another time. Now you have questions?" He smiles.

"What happened to your hair and… plainly your attitude?" She looks offended, "Not that there's anything wrong with it."

"It's ok. I know it's different, but that's what happens when you live with these girls, they mess with your head. And as for the hair." She grabs a chunk of it and looks at it in front of her eyes. "It was Samarine's idea. Her's is maroon." He nods and walks a little closer to her taking a little bit of her hair in his fingers and smiles looking at her. He smiles.

"Nice to meet you Aminamari." She smiles.

"Feelings mutual Youko." She smiles back and he kisses her flat on the lips.

I would like to say that all the stories of the NeoSaints ended this way. But three weeks after moving back to the human world, Kidkivan received a letter that Troy was dead. She had drown herself.

The pressure of being 'perfect' is some thing that most will gratefully never experience.

Nails was able to return to the closest thing that Gwen had ever seen to her little sister. She was fine for eight years before she left the human world and was never seen again. Touya disappeared several weeks later, he was never seen again either.

Ami went on to cast her power as a Saint down and train a new Earth Saint to take her place at the end of her usefulness. She had two children and needless to say they were all exceptional demons.

Gwen, along with Jin, moved back into the demon world some years later and lived out her life in the Saint house with him. They had one daughter.

Samarine, Elieria, and Alexis never left the demon world. They stayed with the Saints all their lives. They helped train Saints, Shinobi, and spirit detectives alike.

Adven never quite healed from the death/suicide of her best friend and eventually left the Saint house. She came back eight years later with two children, neither that were hers. She helped train the two children and would one day die for them.

But there is one loose end I will have to leave in this ending. The ending being Kidkivan. She was never seen in the demon world after she was able to locate Hiei. It was believed that she went back to the 'Place of Nightmares'. The place that the Nightmare first controlled her body. The house where her father had raised them and where she was taught a life she didn't want. It was believed that the last time she was seen, she was trying to find anyone of her relatives that might have survived the fire. Hiei hasn't been seen since the last time they were seen together.

It is believed that both are dead.

But then again you can't believe everything you hear.
