As almost all wounded were carried into safety, the sun began to rise. Although it was deadly to vampires, they weren't unprepared: about ten soldiers in each side dug an installation into the ground and pushed red buttons on it: from two sides formed a laser and from it risen a shield with UV filter, that protected everyone from the sun's rays. Anna and Hao stopped and turned eastwards. Horses approached them, tapping their snouts to their shoulders. Anna and Hao stroke through their necks, making them snuffle from pleasure.
"Anna! Hao! Hurry!" a voice called. The couple turned to that way. Jeanne ran to them and panted out.
"Anna…the sun…" Anna smiled to her.
"It's ok, Jeanne. It won't hurt me anymore" Jeanne looked with amazement.
"What? But…"
"Go. Soon it will start" she showed into the sky, already turning green, followed by soft yellow and red. The sight was magnificent. Jeanne didn't understand much, but she turned around and ran towards the shield. Hao hugged Anna from behind.
"Look, Anna. Look at your new life" he turned her to the eastern horizon, which was turning lighter and brighter "you are free" he whispered to her ear. Anna relaxed in his arm completely, whispering back.
"And I thank you for that" she kissed him lightly "you have brought a sun to my life".
The golden disk of the sun rose from the fields, illuminating the couple. Jeanne watched them two, not believing in it. Yoh walked to her, his arm patched up. He smiled to the beautiful sighed of his brother and Anna lit up by the first rays of morning sun. Jeanne's cheek was crossed by a diamond tear.
"Hey, what's wrong?" Yoh asked, concerned. Jeanne shocked her head, brushing away the tear.
"Nothing. It's just when I look at them I keep wandering will I ever get to feel the sun" Yoh smiled to her.
"Of course you will" he said. Jeanne looked at him, stunned.
"How? I have no idea how Hao and Anna done it"
"Nor do I" he smiled wider to her, making her smile long. Yoh's sheepish smile could make anyone smile along "just believe in it. Maybe one day you'll be able to look at the sun not from behind the shield" Yoh's words didn't make ant sense to Jeanne, but somehow they comforted her, made her not feel so helpless. She kissed Yoh in the cheek before running away.
"Thank, Yoh"…

A blonde woman stood by an ocean, gazing into the fiery sunset. She was beautiful: porcelain pale skin, golden hair, black onyx eyes, slim and perfect figure. She wore a pair of black, linen pants, a black, tight, linen blouse with diamond-shaped decollate, beautifully revealing her full breasts. She also had black – jeans jacket and a pair of black knee-high riding boot to protect herself from wind and cold. A black mare snorted impatiently behind the blonde. She turned around and smiled to the fine she-trotter.
"Soon, Atari, soon" mare calmed down for a while and blonde turned back to the sunset. She didn't hear how another horse closed to her, whit a man on it. This man had long chocolate brown hair, dark brown, smirking and caring eyes and well-built body. He wore a pair of black baggy pants, a sleeveless black T-shirt, black heavy boots and long, black leather coat. He silently jumped form his steed, which was about to snort, but the man put finger on his lips.
"Don't ruin surprise, Isamu" he whispered so silently, that even a wisp of wind was louder. Then the man closed silently to the frozen beauty, standing on sand. He quickly wrapped her around waist and swung in the air. The blonde gasped from surprise
"Hao! You scarred me to death!" she shot as the brunette man swung her in mid – air. As he caught her in his arm, she wrapped her arms around his neck and kissed his passionately. Hao smiled.
"That's the way to express anger. I think I might get used to this way, Anna" the blonde laughed.
"This is going to be a very rare time" Hao stood her on the ground, not releasing her waist and Anna not releasing his neck.
"Everything's fine?" she asked. Hao smiled and nodded.
"Better then I've expected. Yoh and Jeanne are going to take care of everything"
"So we can go?" Anna asked anxiously. Hao smiled and kissed her.
"Yes" Anna laughed sincerely. A big heaviness of her to rule over the clans have been taken away, just like from Hao "Have you found where?" the men asked. They've been thinking about it every since the battle was over. Anna smiled.
"Yeah. The mountains of Osorezan" she hugged him tighter and whispered into his ear "a perfect place to rise the child" Hao gasped and looked deeply into her eyes. Did she just say…?
"Really?" he asked, shocked from such remarkable news. Anna kissed him lightly.
"As true as it can be" Hao lifted her and turned around in air. He didn't feel so happy, except when he got to be with Anna. Now, their family was fuller and will be completed.
"So, shall we?" Anna showed to the horses, which were snorting and digging the sand impatiently, waiting for the journey. Hao smiled and kissed her again.
"Whit greatest pleasure" they both ran to the horses and jumped on them. Anna took one last glance at the sunset and ridded away, knowing that a new life had just started for her, Hao and their love's fruit…
