"Pitiful…" Aya said as multiple form of himself appeared and surrounded them. "Don't fuck with us!!!!" Nao lost her cool causing her hand to form into incredibly giant claws, with one swipe she cut down a handful of his replica. "Pathetic," he laughed as they all went into an all-out battle. As they took one down, demons were summoned from the body. It was wearing them down slowly, even Mai and her little brother was slowly losing their stamina.

"Poor child," Aya said towering over the injured teen. "Don't you touch her!!!" Mikoto roared as she regained her power suddenly and attacked him. She had transformed, her hands were simply claws with spikes on her elbows, black wings, glowing red eyes, smoke escaping from her nose and mouth, and a set of horns are protruding from her head accenting her true nature.

"Unforgivable," Mikoto spoke as shards of onyx crystal emerged from another dimension around her, to be there at her command. "Who die and make you king? You and those that followed you deserve death!" Mikoto roared once more as shards of crystal flew out from behind her and pierced all that's in her way, and those she considered her enemies. Pulling out the onyx blade, Mikoto cut the real Aya down with a single swift motion ending his life without giving it a thought.

"Here's my chance, die you foul demon!" Shusuke said dropping down from the glass ceiling above. Forming his daggers into a single solid blazing sword, his aim was for a quick blow to end Mikoto's life as he never liked the girl. But who could blame him for not liking her, Mikoto was part demon after all and she eloped with his little girl (he believed that Mikoto drugged his daughter and raped her, which none of it ever happened).

"NO!" Mai shouted, even though she had exhausted her magic and Mikoto was in a vulnerable position, Mai forced herself to run and pushed her beloved out of the way. The blade that was aimed for Mikoto pierced his daughter's chest instead, fear set in as he quickly pulled his weapon back letting her staggered. "No!!!" Mikoto and Shusuke both shouted in unison, but Mikoto was the one that caught the teen in her arms.

"Again?" Jijirou asked appearing out of nowhere. Frankly speaking, he was getting tired of all the dead and resurrecting of his descendents that he had been doing a lot lately. "You mortals never seemed to listen to anything I say, from now on they will never return to this country ever again." Jijirou said tabbing on Mikoto's head and she fell into a dreamless sleep. "I'll take care of everything here," Nagi said, also appearing out of nowhere and he was supposed to be dead too. It seemed that Jijirou had also brought his only son back to life as well, must be why he's tired of having to bring them back to life every time they died before their time come.

"All portals were closed, so I guess it's time you guys return all that power you got to where it belong then." Nagi shrugged as he took out an onyx orb that sucks out everyone's power. "I guess fate had dealt quite a cruel hand for you guys, good night." Nagi grinned as he spread his wings while everyone couldn't help but yawned and fell asleep. "Don't worry, when you guys wake up everything will be back to normal. Just that you won't remember any of this ever happened, and that Mikoto was just away on another one of her seminar again." Nagi spoke in a rather calming voice as all the bodies glowed before turning into tiny orbs and flew away to its perspective place.

Two years later…

Tohkiha Mai, a student attending Fuuka University, and somehow most of the teachers she had in Fuuka High now also taught in Fuuka U. Since her return from the hospital last year after having a heart surgery, her father seemed to be different and she felt a bit empty herself. The last few years had been a bit blurry; Mai couldn't seem to remember any of it whatsoever.

She was heading to her Literature class when something caught her eyes, a young girl confessing her feelings for a professor. "Minagi-sensei, I love you." "I'm flattered, but I can't accept your feelings and I'm sorry. Have a good day," the professor spoke before walking away since it's the end of the day. The sight of the teacher made Mai's heart beating hard and fast, even though she had forgotten about her past, her heart seemed to remember it just fine.

"I'm going back home," Mikoto said firmly to her friends. "What? What do you mean?" Nao asked looking every bit surprised at the news. "I lost interest in traveling the world, already done it and there's nothing else to see anymore." Mikoto replied. "Either way, we'll visit you…" Natsuki trailed off. She's not going to act like Nao or start crying like Yukino, no way in hell will she be looking so embarrassing like that. Shizuru will never let it go if she gone all mushy on her friend, and Natsuki avoided looking too soft as much as possible.

They bid farewell and Mikoto left for the airport, it was nice to have friends but it is hard to be there as she's the only one with all the memories. "Leaving without me?" a familiar voice broke her thoughts and she looked up searching for the owner of the voice. Amber and amethyst met, Mikoto was surprised to see the girl there with a plane ticket in one hand and a small luggage bag in another hand. "Was trying to," Mikoto replied as their eyes still locked on each other. "Well too bad, because I'm going too." Mai said without so much as thinking. "I guess," her teacher answered.

"So you remembered," Mikoto spoke as they settled down next to each other on the plane. "Of course I did, when you declined her I suddenly remember everything about us so far back that most of it you yourself doesn't remember." Mai said triumphantly with a beautiful smile to boot. "It's going to be very cold there," Mikoto said changing the subject as she laced her fingers with Mai. "I have you to keep me warm," Mai giggled resting her head on her lover's shoulder. "It will be very boring and quiet," Mikoto continued squeezing Mai's hand lightly. "I'm sure we can come up with something," Mai answered with a hint of mischief to it. After all, the two haven't really got to go all the way as things seemed to have poor timing whenever they attempted to.

Mai had called to let her parents know that she found the person that she will be spending the rest of her life with, and she's going home with her. Her father winced at the news, but didn't object but reminded her to come and visit at least once a year. She made no promise, but only said that she would try to if her lover wanted to. She truly had no intention of bringing Mikoto back home to be nearly killed by her father again. She's sacrificing her family to be with the woman she loved, and it's all worth it for her because Mikoto only had eyes for her.
