Gopher cries out as he sits up. As his eyes begin to adjust, he finds himself in his bed. "H-Huh? What happened?" As he looks around, he notices that there's no one there. All of a sudden, a stinging pain goes through the back of his head and he quickly brings his hand by the back of his head. "Ow…What did I hit my head on?" Gopher goes to the edge of his bed and thinks for a moment, trying to remember what had happened.

Why can't I remember…what happened…maybe I'll ask Noah-sama…

That's when it hit him. As soon as he said Noah's name, it all came back. The argument with Medusa. Trying to strangle her. Noah intervening. And then…and then…that was all he could remember.

At the thought of Medusa, an intense hatred filled his stomach. His brows furiously turn inward and he bites down on his lip hard. "Medusa..." As he says her name, he could already feel the anger rising in him. He quickly heads for the door and flings it open, in pursuit of the witch. As he goes downstairs, he notices Noah talking to Justin and Giriko. Gopher storms towards them and yells out. "Hey! Where is she! Where is she!"

Noah gives a surprised and slightly confused look to the angry boy. "Huh? What are you on about, Gopher?" Irritated and bursting with anger, Gopher glares at his master. "You know who I'm talking about. The witch. Where is she!?" Noah turns to Justin and Giriko, as if asking for clarification about what he's talking about. The pair shrug their shoulders and slightly shake their heads.

Gopher grows more frustrated and raises his voice. "Don't give me that crap! You guys know who I'm talking about!" Noah grabs hold of Gopher's arm and says in a soothing, calm voice, "I think you need to relax. You're overreacting." The sudden sound of Noah's voice makes Gopher stop yelling and slightly blush. Noah sighs and crosses his arms. "Now tell me…what are you talking about?"

"Medusa! The witch who you're with! Where is she?" Gopher blurts out. Noah gives a baffled look. "Medusa? Who are you talking about?"

Gopher stares intently at Noah and starts to become more and more confused. Noah's voice…he doesn't sound like he's lying…but…how? Was I dreaming all this time? Was it all a dream?

Gopher's thoughts are suddenly disturbed when Noah puts his hand on his shoulder. "Maybe you just had a crazy dream. Take some time to calm down. I'm going to need you later." Noah's words reassured the young boy as he nods quickly. "Y-Yes, of course Noah-sama!" And with that, Gopher runs back to his room, embarrassed about having yelled at his master.

As Gopher leaves, Noah glances at Justin and Giriko. The pair nod at him confidently. Only the three of them knew.

It isn't long before Noah finds himself in his own thoughts. He recalls hearing Medusa scream and running into Gopher's room to see him strangling her. Next thing he knew, Giriko had knocked Gopher out. Then Medusa said the words. "What do we do now?"

Noah looks from Gopher's unconscious body to Medusa. The witch crosses her arms and gives a nervous glance to her lover.

Noah turns to Justin and clears his throat. "Take Gopher to his room. Then come back here." Justin nods and proceeds to carry the sleeping child. Giriko looks at Noah and sneers. "What exactly are ya thinking?" Ignoring the question, Noah ponders, thinking if what he's about to suggest would work. Medusa walks towards him, noticing him in deep thought. "My love?" The dark skinned male quickly looks up and blinks a bit. "Yes?"

The blonde witch nervously plays with her hair. "W-What are we going to do, Noah? The boy tried to kill me…" Noah pulls off his cap and runs his hands through his hair in frustration. "I…I have a suggestion…but…"

Giriko crosses his arms. "But what?" Just as Giriko asks this, Justin walks back in. Medusa gently places her fingers around Noah's hand. "Well?" Noah looks up at her with a glint of sorrow and hesitation in his eyes. "You're going to have to leave…"

As she hears this, her lips start to quiver. "W-What?"

Noah looks away, not wanting to look into her eyes. "You have to go…it's too dangerous to stay here with Gopher like that. He could try it again. And we might not be there next time to stop it." At these words, Medusa steps back with her jaw hung open. "No…"

Noah puts his arms around her, trying to comfort her. "Medusa…plea-"

She angrily shakes her head. "NO! I'm not leaving you! We have a baby on the way!"

He sighs sadly and holds her tightly as she buries her head into his chest and cries. "Medusa. Please. We don't have any other choice. I'm doing this because I love you." She slowly looks up at him, her eyes glistening with tears. "Promise me that if I go, we'll meet again." Noah places his hand upon her cheek and nods. "I promise. We will meet again, my love. I'll be there to look after the baby with you. I will."

Giriko groans and spits on the floor. "Spare me the sad parting and get on with it already!" Justin elbows Giriko in his chest abruptly which causes him to grunt and glare at him.

After a brief moment, Medusa gives a defeated sigh. "Okay. I'll go." Noah nods slowly and looks down.

As Medusa begins to leave, she looks back at Noah one last time and mouths the words, 'I love you'. Noah holds back his tears and furiously bites on his lip as he sees her walk off. Justin puts a hand on Noah's shoulder and gives him a comforting look. "There was nothing else you could do. You had no other choice, mister Noah." Giriko snickers and frowns. "Well what the hell do we do once sleeping beauty wakes up?"

Noah stares seriously at his two men and says, "We pretend it never happened. Make him believe it was all a dream. We never speak of it. He must never know. Understand?"

Justin nods and slightly bows. "As you wish, mister Noah." Giriko groans and crosses his arms. "That's fine and all but it's really lame."

Finally finishing up on his previous thoughts, Noah sighs as he thinks about Medusa and wishes he could take back what he had said. "Hey boss?"

Turning his head, Noah sees Giriko standing in the doorway of his room. "What do you want? And haven't you heard of knocking?" Giriko smirks and steps forward. "No use knocking if the door's open. But anyway, now that the annoying runt has woken up, what the hell do we do?"

Noah shrugs off the question and stares out the window. "I dunno…I don't really care at this point. Do whatever you want. Just remember that we can't tell him. This information is to only be between us and Justin." Giriko nods and casually walks out of Noah's room.

Just as he leaves, Justin walks in. Noah notices him and stands up to face him. "Yeah? What is it?" The young priest gives a slight shrug. "To be honest, I'm not really sure. It's just going to be somewhat hard to keep all of this from Gopher. There's no telling if he'll find out." Noah nods slowly and stares at the window again. Justin sighs as he sees that his words seemed to not have any effect on him. "Very well mister Noah. I'll be on my way."

Noah tilts his head slightly as he sees rain start to come down from outside. "Huh. Rain. How wonderful." All of a sudden, Noah feels two arms go around him from behind and he jumps a bit. "Hi Noah-sama!"

"Gopher! D-Don't do that!" Noah looks down, embarrassed that he was startled by his loyal servant. Gopher giggles cutely and smiles happily. "You seemed sad so I'm here to help! I want you to be happy, Noah-sama!" At these words, Noah is taken aback. Gopher…you…you care?

Noah feels himself smile at Gopher and pat his head. "Thank you, Gopher. That means a lot." The young boy blushes at the comment and nods. "Y-You're welcome, Noah-sama!"

Medusa had been walking for what seemed to be forever. But she finally came across a city. Death City. And the famous DWMA in the center of it. She looks down and puts her hand on her stomach. "One day I'll tell you about your daddy. Maybe one day we can see him again. You'd like your father, Crona. You really would." With that, she continues walking towards Death City.

As nightfall approaches, Gopher and the rest of Noah's group head to bed. Noah was the only one who was lying in bed, fully awake. He reaches into his pocket and takes out a ring with a small diamond in the center. He looks at it and whispers, "Medusa, can I collect you? Will you be forever mine?" He closes his eyes and bites his lip as a single tear falls from his eye. And with the final thought of proposing to her, he slowly drifts off to sleep.
