Yoh nodded. "It was an honest mistake. Although she is a very strong girl," He looked at Anna's. "Both of you took over her body and took most of her strength. I'm not certain when she'll be awake."
Elrich said, "Look, I'm so sorry about the whole mess. I was really angry I never thought of her life." Then she smiled. "But I can assure you that she loves you."
"Really?"
Elrich said, "Yup. I suggest you ask her to marry you already." Then, she looked at Pino. "Well, darling, I guess you are a shaman. It's in your blood. I was the only one in the family before you. And we do look alike in certain ways."
"Really? Wow! I never thought that I'd be like you. I wish I have a power spirit of my own just like you."
Elrich looked at Elroy. "Elroy, I'm letting you go. I'm a spirit now. Spirits don't fuse with spirits anymore. I guess I'll be meeting you again one time. You can go now."
Elroy was actually crying. Then, a light took him and he was gone.
Elrich smiled and looked at Pino. "I'll be your power spirit from now own."
Pino smiled. "Thank you, Elrich. Do you mind if I just call you that? Great Grandma is such a long word."
Elrich nodded. Then, Pino stood up. "I thank all of you for helping me find her. I am so grateful. I guess we better leave." She looked at Manta. "I'll go to your place first okay? I still have to get my stuff."
Manta nodded. "Yoh, I got to get going." He looked at Tamao. "I'll just send over your things tomorrow." Tamao nodded and Manta was gone.
Now, Tamao and Yoh are the only ones awake. Both of them weren't speaking to each other. Finally, Yoh broke the silence.
"I'm so sorry I didn't listen to you. And thank you for protecting me."
Tamao blushed. "It was the right thing to do."
Yoh nodded and started to leave when Tamao said, "I like you a lot, you know." Then, she blushed. "I love you, Yoh."
Yoh smiled. "I know you do." Yoh kissed her cheek. "But I already love someone else. I'm sorry."
Tamao smiled. "It's okay. I know you love Anna so much."
Yoh smiled at her once more. "I love her more than my life." Then, Yoh left and went to bed.
Tamao was left alone. She touched her cheek that Yoh kissed. 'I will always love you no matter what.'
Manta and Pino walked all the way to his house. Pino and Elrich talked a lot about what they're gonna do after that. Manta was still worried about Anna and Yoh. He just looked at the ground and continued walking.
Pino saw his condition. "What's wrong, Manta?"
Manta looked at her. "Oh… Nothing really. It's just that I'm worried about them."
Elrich said, "No need to worry over two powerful shamans. She didn't use her powers for years so I guess she's kinda weak but I know she'll regain her strength."
Manta smiled and nodded. They reached Manta's house after a two minutes. Pino took all her stuff and walked out the door.
"Pino, why don't you stay here tonight?" Manta asked.
Pino smiled and waved. "Don't worry. I have someone with me along the way." Elrich waved.
"Bye Manta."
Manta waved. "Good luck Pino."
Yamazaki said, "The other lady won't be back also, I presume."
Manta nodded. "I'll bring her stuff tomorrow at the hot spring." Manta went inside and headed to his bedroom and peacefully slept.
(NOTE: So sorry if this chapter's too short…. I'm running out of ideas…. About the whole fusing thing, I don't know what they call it… I think it was Hyoi Gattai…. Since this is a work of fiction, I guess anything would do right?)
