Author's Note: Finally, I can continue this fic. Fortunately, my writer's block is over, so I can get an idea to write this chapter.
For your review:
Jeffery Mewtamer: Thanks for your information. I know that probably, someone will (or maybe already?) find the better solution for heart defect than the heart transplant, but… well, I just don't have idea to start this fic smoothly. However, I don't graduate from the medical school, so… I don't really understand with something like this…
Even so, I still want to try to continue this fic, because I don't want to waste my own idea, and I'll be glad if any of you can help me to fix the heart transplant issue by reviewing this fic or offering help to be my beta reader for this fic.

Chapter 2 – The Sudden Heart Attack
"Izumi-chan, can you follow me to my room? There's something that I want to talk about with you," asked Tsubomi to her new student right when her class was over, "Your mother called me this afternoon and said that she would come here to pick you up."
"Mom? Sensei, do you really know about her?" asked the little girl back, "Well, mom did say that one of the teachers in this school is her cousin, though…"
"I'm her cousin, Izumi-chan," Tsubomi smiled, "Your mother's name is Himawari, right?"
Izumi nodded, "It's her given name."
"Then, can you follow me to my room now? I want to introduce you to my daughter."
"Sure, I can," the little girl then followed her homeroom teacher to the teacher room, "Will mom also come here to meet you?"
"Of course she will, Izumi-chan," the young teacher opened the door, "Come in. My daughter also will come here soon."
"Okay, sensei."
Tsubomi sat down onto her desk while Izumi sat down onto a chair in front of her, then they waited for Nozomi and Himawari to come.
A few minutes later, Nozomi walked into the teacher room with Rizuko, while surprisingly, Himawari came there with Kirarin and Shiroyuki.
"Shiro-chan?" asked Nozomi. She was confused to see her new classmate in the teacher room, "Why do you come here now? Does our teacher command you to come here?"
"No, Nozomi-chan. I come with my mother," replied her, who then looked at Kirarin for a while before added, "I meet her near the school gate, and she asks me to come here with her."
"That's right, Nozomi-chan," Kirarin smiled, "I come here to meet Tsubomi-chan… your mother."
"Really?" the brunette then asked her mother, "Okasan, do you really know about Shiro-chan's mother?"
"Of course I know her, Nozomi-chan. Kira-chan is my best friend. My childhood friend," Tsubomi turned her attention to Kirarin, "How are you today? I heard that you and Tane-kun just recently move back here."
"Yeah, I'm fine, and we just recently move back from Tokyo," replied Kirarin, "How about you, Tsubomi-chan?"
"Well, I'm fine too, and I'm really glad to see you and Hima-chan here," Tsubomi smiled, but then her smile instantly faded as she added, "Not really fine, though… because I think about my niece right now."
"You mean… Murasaki-nii's daughter?" guessed Himawari, "What happened with her, Tsubomi-nee? Is there something wrong with her?"
Tsubomi kept silence, while Nozomi answered Himawari's question, "Fami-chan gets ill so often recently, and it makes okasan worry about her."
"Actually, before we meet you all here, we have plan to come to Fami-chan's house after school, to visit her," Rizuko added, "but then Auntie Tsubomi asked us to come here now."
"Hey, you must be… Nami-chan's daughter, right?" Kirarin recognized the purple haired girl in the room, then smiled at her, "No wonder that you call Tsubomi-chan as your aunt."
"Then, can we follow you all to Murasaki-nii's house?" asked Himawari to Tsubomi, Nozomi and Rizuko, "We also want to meet Fami-chan there."
"Uh, Hima-chan, don't you remember that Murasaki-nii lives at my parents' house since Cathy-chan died right after she gave birth Fami-chan?" Tsubomi asked back, made sure that her cousin still remembered about her brother's recent condition, "You said that you wanted to go to Murasaki-nii's… house?"
"Oh yeah, I don't remember about it," Himawari sighed, "Anyway, can we?"
"Of course, all of you can go there with us. We visit Fami-chan together now," Tsubomi stood up from her desk, "She'll be so happy to meet you all."
"Wait a minute, sensei," Izumi interrupted, "You said that you wanted to introduce me to your daughter…"
"We can introduce ourselves on the way to Fami-chan's house, so it's not a big deal," Nozomi smiled at the youngest girl there, "You're Auntie Hima's daughter, right? Okasan told me about you at the lunch break."
"Oh… okay," Izumi smiled back while walked out from the teacher room with the others, "Nice to meet you… uh…"
"I'm Kounna Nozomi, and you just need to call me Nozomi."
"Alright, nice to meet you, Nozomi-nee," said Izumi, "My name is Kawamura Izumi."
On the way to the mentioned house, Tsubomi, Nozomi, Rizuko, Kirarin, Shiroyuki, Himawari and Izumi talked about their recent life. Tsubomi then talked about her parents to Shiroyuki and Izumi.
"I think my parents will be glad to see you all," the violet haired teacher stated, "Especially my mother."
"It's been so long since the last time I met Auntie Doremi," Himawari realized, "I also have plan to visit my mother this weekend."
"Have you already tell Auntie Poppu that you move back here now?" asked Tsubomi to her cousin.
"I told her, and she was so happy to hear that," replied her, "I can't wait until this weekend, just to meet her… my mother."
"Then, how about you, Kira-chan?" Tsubomi turned her head to see her best friend, "Does Auntie Hazuki know that you live here now?"
"She knows," answered Kirarin, "Honestly, I wanted to meet her this afternoon, but she said that she wanted to go to somewhere else today."
"Did she tell you about the place that she meant?"
"No," Kirarin shook of her head, "She just said that some of her best friends came to her house and asked her to go."
"Her best friends?" Tsubomi raised her eyebrows, "Now I wonder where the place that she meant…"
When they arrived at the mentioned house, they were surprised to see some other people there. It looked like there was a reunion party in the house.
Tsubomi recognized one of her mother's guests there, a blonde haired young woman in an elegant gown…
"Hana-nee?"
.O.
"So, firstly Moni-chan and Molly-chan met Auntie Momo at the airport, then they came here right when okasan prepared her lunch…" concluded Tsubomi after the others explained their presence at her parents' house, "Okasan and Fami-chan took their lunch together with Auntie Momo, Moni-chan and Molly-chan, and after that, Molly-chan played a bit with Fami-chan before she took a nap later."
"Meanwhile, Moni-chan requested to Ale-kun to pick my mother, Auntie Aiko, Auntie Onpu and Auntie Poppu up to here, and surprisingly, Hana-nee came to Auntie Onpu's house," Kirarin added, "Even so, it makes me wonder about something…"
The brunette young woman asked the blonde in an elegant gown, "Hana-nee, why do you wear that gown?"
"Well, that's the thing that I want to say to you all here," Hana-chan smiled before continued her words, "From now on, I become the Queen of the Witch World."
Nozomi, Rizuko, Shiroyuki and Izumi were shocked to hear Hana-chan's explanation, while Tsubomi, Monica, Kirarin and Himawari were so happy to hear the same news.
"Then, it means that you'll start to do your important mission soon, right?" Tsubomi smiled, "Congratulations, Hana-nee."
"That's right, Tsubomi-chan. I'll start to re-open the connection between the Witch World and the Human World soon," Hana-chan smiled back at the violet haired young woman, "and thanks for your congrats."
"By the way, Hana-chan… if now you become the Queen of the Witch World, then where's Yuki-sensei now?" asked Doremi to her witch daughter, "You know, now she becomes the former Queen, and…"
"Well, she lives in Human World now, travels around the world like what she did before," replied Hana-chan, "and you know what? She allows me to do something that I want."
"Something?" the gray-red haired old woman raised her eyebrows, "What is it, Hana-chan? You make me curious."
"Let me show you something," Hana-chan took her magic crystal out and casted some spell, made six other magic crystals in different shape and different color appeared, "She allows me to give back all of your magic crystals."
"Hana-chan, are you kidding? All of us have already decided that…"
"I don't care about your decision," the new Queen of the Witch World cut what her mother said, "I just want you all to take all of these magic crystals back, as a proof that all of us can fulfill our promise to meet again once I become the Queen."
"Well, you can say that, but…"
"Just take it, obaachan," once again, someone interrupted what Doremi said, but this time, it wasn't Hana-chan. It was Fami who walked downstairs and came to the others in the living room, "You worked so hard to get it long time ago, right? It's time for you to use it again, to help Auntie Hana reaching her goals."
"Fami-chan, you wake up…"
"I can hear your conversation from my room, and I decide to join with you all," Fami sat down onto a sofa, between Nozomi and Rizuko, "By the way, I see that otousan haven't gone home yet…"
"Well, he called me when you still slept in your room, and he said that he would come home a bit late, because he wanted to buy something for you."
"Really?" her eyes sparkled, "I can't wait for him any longer."
Fami then remembered something, "Well then, obaachan, please take your magic crystal."
"Eh, Fami-chan…"
"Please, I want to see you take your own crystal…" Fami demanded with a pitiful voice, "Obaachan, please…"
"Well… if only all of my best friends and… Granny Poppu also take theirs…"
"Hey, I also want to see you take it, obaachan," said Nozomi to both of her grandmothers, Doremi and Onpu, "Maybe, I didn't really believe in magic before, but now, as Auntie Hana comes here today, now I know that it's real. Obaachan-tachi just need to take your own magic crystals."
"Non-chan…"
"Hey, me too!" Rizuko also agreed with what her cousin said, "Obaasan-tachi, please take those crystals."
"Uh, Rizu-chan…" Onpu tried to make a reason, "We just don't want to see you all shocked. I mean… we probably would be looked younger than our recent condition once we took those crystals…"
"Honestly, I want to see you become younger, obaasan," cut Rizuko, "I want to see your younger look."
"Wouldn't it become a serious problem? I mean, many people out there would see us differently."
"We won't," Rizuko crossed her arms, while the other girls nodded, agreed with what she said.
The six old women finally sighed and gave up. Each of them took their respective magic crystals, and right after that, the six magic crystals sparkled… changed the look of the six old women while Tsubomi, Kirarin, Alex, Monica, Himawari, Fami, Nozomi, Rizuko, Shiroyuki and Izumi looked at them. All of them didn't notice that during the old women's 'transformation', Kotake, Murasaki and Tonami walked into the house and joined with them in the living room.
"What happened here?" asked the gray-blue haired old man to both of his granddaughters, Fami and Nozomi, "Where's your grandmother?"
"She's there…" replied Fami.
"She takes her own magic crystals while Granny Poppu and their best friends take theirs, and… they…" added Nozomi, "Well, you can see it with your own eyes, ojiichan."
Right after the brunette finished her words, the process was finished. Now they looked at the six old women who looked much younger. It seemed like, they became as young as their children.
"Okasan…" Murasaki's eyes widened while he saw his mother there, "You're changed… It's as if I was still in the elementary school now."
"He's right, dear," Kotake walked to his wife and stroked her now red hair, "I… don't know how to respond it. I can't decide whether I should like it or not."
Meanwhile, all of the girls looked so happy to see the change of their grandmothers, but suddenly, Fami put her right palm onto her left chest as she felt something wrong there. The pink haired girl then closed her magenta eyes and screamed in pain, caused all of the other people in the living room looked at her in horror.
"Fami-chan!" Doremi quickly caught her first granddaughter right before she fell onto the floor, "Oh no… you get another attack!"
"Obaachan, I… I can't hold it anymore. It's…"
"Fami-chan, don't say that. You should stay alive. We'll bring you to the hospital and…"
"No, obaachan. Just no… I don't want to see anyone look at you as a stranger. Just… Maybe it's time for me to meet my mother now."
"Fami-chan!" Nozomi shouted, "Don't go that fast! I don't want to lose you!"
"I'm sorry… Nozomi-chan… I just can't stay…" Fami passed out just before she could continue her words.
"FAMI-CHAN!" all of them shouted, but it couldn't help. The redhead checked her granddaughter's pulse, only to find out that she couldn't feel anything from her.
"No way! Fami-chan…" she whispered while her tears started to flow down onto her cheeks, "Do you really just… follow your mother like that?"
'I shouldn't let it happen like this… Fami-chan should stay alive…' she hardly thought, 'She should get a new heart fast, or else, she would go forever… but how can we get it?'
"The doctor," she immediately took out her phone cell and called someone whom she mentioned to ask if the doctor already found a donor, but then she gave up as the doctor said the opposite things. She closed her phone and bowed her head, thought hardly to find the way to make her granddaughter staying alive.
'She needs a new heart… but even the doctor can't find it… What should I do now?'
Suddenly, she thought about something crazy. Without thinking any further, she took out her magic crystal and stated, "I should do something with this."
Noticing her words, Hana-chan said to her mother, "Doremi, don't say that you want to heal Fami with your magic…"
"I'll do that, if that's the only option I have to save her," replied Doremi, "Fami-chan needs my heart more than myself."
"Doremi-chan, are you crazy? You'll die once you exchange your heart with Fami-chan's," asked Hazuki while she looked at her childhood friend with a serious face, "Don't you…"
"I'm sorry, but it's my final decision," the redhead apologized, "I never wanted to cast any forbidden magic before, but this time, I should do this."
"But why? Don't you want to reunite with us? With me and the others?" Momoko started to cry, "Don't you want to help Hana-chan reach her goals?"
"I wanted to, but…" Doremi looked at Fami's face before she surely added, "I'm sure that Fami-chan can do it better than me. She can help Hana-chan with my power."
Right after she said it, her magic crystal sparkled once again, then she shouted, "Replace Fami-chan's heart with mine!"
In an instant, a bright light surrounded both Doremi and Fami, and when it faded away, both of them fell onto the floor, unconscious…
