Ginti appeared from in the castle, as Tia saw him, leaving the citadel, with Mugi's in his arms. She saw Mugi, as she sensed her, and asked, "What happened?"

Ginti smiled, "I lost… I failed…"

"Huh?"

"Mugi… She's…"

Tia held him and said, "It's okay. I know where the others are. Let's take Mugi to another place, and maybe we'll do something about this spell."

He pleaded, "Please… save her!"

She nodded, as she said, "Blossom is gone forever… but she's not going to get away with this. We'll save Mugi, one way or another. Now, come on. Let's go."

They walked together, as Tia sniffled in sadness. He asked, "Queen Tia… You okay?"

She nodded, "Yeah… I'm fine."

He then smiled, as he looked at Sena, Saya, & the others, who remained in stone.

"Thank you… Sena…"


At the clinic, Mugi was lying on the cot, as the others were standing by the bed. The doctor examined Mugi, as he bowed his head. He felt that her pulse suddenly stopped, and that her body remained motionless and unresponsive. The doctor said to Ginti and Tia that Mugi's dead; and that they would do something about the cadaver, soon enough. The doctor left, as Mio was crying with Ritsu. Origami protested, "Damn that Sakuya! She'll pay for tricking us!"

Dufort replied, "Spell or no spell, Mugi is still alive. She must've somehow made her pulse silent, and left her limp and vegetated. But deep within her, her heart remains beating."

Ginti was upset, as Tia comforted him, "Sakuya was trying to fool you, as she wanted to get back at you. My guess is that when she kissed her, she had one last dirty trick up her sleeve. We're doing what we can to save her."

Ritsu said, "What I can't believe is that a girl, obsessed over love, denounced everything because of what Mugi did. Wataru was such a nice guy. But to me, it was right, since he had 12 sisters… Well, 11 now."

Dufort agreed, "Exactly. Wataru will be saddened that his Dear Sister… has moved on… to Hell, at least… Black Magic is always evil."

Origami said, "You're right…"

Ritsu replied, "And Saya… Sena… Tohka & Shiina… died protecting Mugi and Ginti. At least they are avenged…"

Mio didn't respond, as she was still crying. Ginti was annoyed, as he walked away. He said, "Do whatever you want… … …"

Origami cried, "And where are you going?"

Ginti left the clinic, as the others were worried. He left the clinic, without saying anything. He walked down the street, upset and hurt, knowing that he lost Mugi, forever. Tia approached Mugi, as she said, "I'm sorry… Ginti… While we won against Evil Queen Blo-, I mean, Sakuya, it didn't save everyone… including Mugi… I wish there was a way."

Mio sobbed, "Is there a way? Please say there's a way!"

Tia said, "I'm sorry… but Sakuya said it best, as Ginti told me… only her sister, Chikage, can break the spell. And Sakuya made the spell, since she stole her spell book. I tried to recover it, but it burned away to ashes."

Ritsu cried, "WHAT? You mean…"

Origami growled, "It means… There's nothing we can do now…"

They were saddened, as Tia whispered, "Sena… I'm sorry, but you and your sisters are avenged… in a terrible way."

Tia agreed that Ginti saved Mugi, but she could not be revived, at all. There was nothing they could do.


At the cemetery, days later, Mugi's body was lowered into a grave, as she was in a glass casket.

A man in a black reverend suit, with gray hair and a mustache, with small bifocals, called out, in a mournful voice, "We commend her soul onto the heavenly father… Though her life on Earth ended far too soon, and at a very young age, she lives in grace with you… Comfort those she leaves behind, o god, and let them know your peace…"

It was also raining, as everyone, except for Ginti, wearing all black, was standing beside Mugi's grave. Her gravestone said: "Tsumugi Kotobuki – Born: 1991, Died: 2009"

Miz-K Note: Mugi's only 25, but I decided to make it take place, before she finished high school. In short, she's 17 in this story.

Ritsu said, "I know it's been a short time… but… Yui, Azusa… Ui, and Nodoka… they're gone, too… But Mugi… I'll never forget you…"

Mio wept, as she whimpered, "Mugi… You were a true friend. Mugi…"

Ritsu was holding her tears, as she started to bawl. They hugged each other and cried. Queen Tia held Origami's shoulder, as she was very upset. Tia said to Origami, "It's alright… My friend. Don't let it get the best of you."

Dufort asked, "So, was there a reason why Ginti never showed?"

Tia replied, "He's ashamed of himself. Sakuya's reign of terror had ended… and we lost so many… it didn't bring Mugi back. While she remains alive, and in a deep sleep, our efforts for ever reviving the beautiful Mugi are hopeless… in short, Ginti's decision was his choice. He's a hero, but he didn't know it."

Origami started to cringe, and then tear up, "Ginti, you dumbass… … …Why? Why didn't you-?"

She cried on Dufort's shoulder, as he said, comforting her, "There, there… Mugi will live on, in spirit."

Origami barked, "NO! I mean, it's sad to know that she's gone… but Ginti can't see her, without closure!"

"That's because he loves her." Tia said, "And he wishes to see her back in the living. But… … …What Sakuya just did… a miracle is out of the question."

Dufort hugged Origami, who was still crying. Tia whispered, as she looked to the sky.

"Ginti… I'm sorry…"

Meanwhile, Ginti was heading home, as he said in sadness, "Funerals are so stupid. I'm not going to see her, if she's not dead."

He sighed, as he admits defeat. He said, "Sakuya… You're right. I'm… I'm stupid enough to ruin this relationship."

He threw his ring down on the ground and huffed, "I will never love again. Sakuya, you win…"

He returned home and stayed home, as he became an emotionless man, with no love. He lost Tsumugi Kotobuki… … …forever.

And this was the end of a beautiful love story, that ended in tragedy. Ginti's love and feelings were no more.

"Excuse me, sir?" An old man said, as he went close to his face, "Did you say that you will never love again?"

"URK!"
THUD!
Ginti dropped to his butt, and cried out, "HEY, OLD MAN! WHAT THE HELL? Don't scare me like that!"

"My apologies, sir. But aren't you the one called Ginti?" He asked.

The old man was the same man who was at the funeral, giving the last rites to Mugi. He growled, "What about it?"

The old man said, "Yes, it seems sad, but I overheard your friends say that no magic can ever bring your girlfriend back. And they're right. But, you know what?"

"What?"

"Perhaps there is a way."

Ginti said, "Look, you do what you like, Jeeves. But I'm not bringing Mugi back, ever. We're through. She's gone, but not forgotten, but I made the mistake of ever loving her. I'm through with love!"

"You know that's not true, my friend."

He yelled at the old man, "IT IS TRUE, BECAUSE IT'S FACT! My girlfriend's dead, and people I know died, protecting her, and the woman I despise told me that I was responsible for ruining a perfectly good relationship! I promised myself that no one else died, but… that changed because… Saya… Sena… Tohka… Shiina… Azusa… Ui… Nodoka… Yui… and Mugi… No amount of power, not even Ty Ko Ky could ever bring her back… No miracle could ever bring them all back…"

He barked at him, "Face it, gramps! Sakuya won! I'm without love! Everyone's dead, and I denounce love and friendship! So, fuck off, you old fart! I'm going to bed."

He left to his apartment, as the old man said, "Yes. You have thrown it away, all because one person took everything away… but… Maybe there is but one way, that will bring Mugi back, but also everyone that you cared for…"

He stopped and said, "Bullshit."

"No, it's true!" The old man beseeched, "The axe you have… The golden axe… Use it."

"You mean to kill you, gramps?"

"No, nothing like that. It's meant to kill off evil beings… I can tell, since my brother worked as a blacksmith, making weapons for a Miss Aoi, who recently passed away…"

Ginti remembered, as he thought, "What? Sena made this?"

The old man said, "There is one way to save everyone… The axe you possess… I want you to make everything alright. Use it… for one final wish…"

"A wish?"

"Exactly. You are to find one love. But friends are all that matter. Make your wish… and tell me what you want."

"I want… I want…" He said, as he pulled out his axe, "I… I don't want her… I hate her… I hate Mugi, now. I loved her, but she made me broke a promise. Mugi, it's over. I never loved you, at all… I will never… love… again…"

He prayed, as he made his wish. But he broke down in tears, and was on his knees. He blubbered, as he was sad, "I WANT HER BACK! PLEASE! PLEASE BRING MUGI BACK! I'M SORRY! PLEASE, MAKE HER COME BACK TO ME! NOT JUST MUGI, BRING SAYA BACK! BRING SENA BACK! BRING HER SISTERS BACK, AND ALL OF THEIR FRIENDS! I BEG OF YOU! I WANT HER BACK! I LOVE HER! MUGI! COME BACK TO ME! COME BACK TO ME, MUGI!"

He hollered at the top of his lungs, "I LOVE YOU, MUGI!"

His echoes roared in the heavens, as everyone, still in mourning over Mugi, heard his pleas. Tia smiled, as she said, "Ginti…"

Dufort said, "Ginti…"

Origami smiled, as she wiped her tears, "You… You love her…"

Mio & Ritsu smiled, "Ginti, please…"

Everyone was smiling, as Ginti's cry towards Mugi was made. He has made his wish. Deep down inside, he truly loved Mugi, and he'll never take that away. The old man nodded and said, "Very good, my friend. This will be the last time we ever meet. Your wish… is granted…"

The axe suddenly exploded into shards, as Ginti was shocked. It emitted a huge glowing ball of energy. It had a female voice. It was Mugi.

"Ginti… Don't worry… I'm coming back to you… I love you…"

He smiled and whispered, "Mugi… Please… Come back to me."

He hugged the energy ball and said, "I'll never leave you again."

The ball exploded, engulfing Ginti into the light. The huge explosion surrounded everyone and everything in a huge bright light. It even consumed Tia and the others, and even the stone statues of Sena, Tohka, & Shiina, the evil citadel of Sakuya's, and everyone that perished in the battle.

The huge ball of light consumed everything, and turned the entire world into nothing. Everything was erased.

"Mugi… I'll always love you…" Ginti spoke in his final words, as everything disappeared.


Minutes later, Ginti came out and looked around the living room. He asked, as everything was silent, "Mugi? Where did you go? Did you forget the tea, again? Probably left to get more, at the store."

He sat down on the couch and said, in disdain, "Or maybe she's nervous…"

He then thought, as he was perplexed, "Wait… Didn't I do this before? Why does it feel like déjà vu?"

As he was waiting, a small shadowy figure loomed in the darkness, sneaking into the living room, with a slight giggle. Ginti started to grow tired, as the figure went closer. It placed a tray of tea and cookies on the table, as she said, "Here, darling. I hope I didn't burn the cookies, this time."

Ginti smiled, "Oh, that's alright. I was worried you were gone."

Mugi giggled, "Oh, don't be silly, Ginti. I'd never leave you."

She offered her a cup of tea and asked, "Tea?"

Ginti said, "Thanks."

He then thought, as he felt disturbed, "Huh? Why did I revisit this? What's going on?"

Mugi said, "OH! That reminds me. Mio & Ritsu are inviting the others over for the wedding, after I graduate. And also, they happen to be the mother of a great Queen. I think her name is Tia. She's invited, along with her three sisters."

He said, as he was confused, "You don't say?"

"Something wrong? Was the tea bitter?"

He said, "NO! The tea's fine, babe. Except… The name of the Queen… It's like I felt it somewhere before… but I just can't place it."

Mugi laughed, "Oh, you're silly."

She kissed him and said, "I love you, because you're so silly. Anyway, I better prepare another pot. Be right back~!"

Mugi left to the kitchen, as Ginti was worried, "Wait… Did I just-? And she-?"

He sighed and said, "Nah. It's really nothing. I must be delusional."

He wasn't delusional. All of it actually happened. Ginti's wish was to see Mugi again, and also bring everyone's friends back, all before everything that happened when Evil Queen Sakuya kidnapped her. Ginti wished for Mugi to come back, and in the process, everyone was revived. However, all the memories of their encounters and adventures were erased, and restarted from the beginning, before Sakuya would even cause all that. It was like the Evil Queen never existed, to being with. His wish came true. Ginti and Mugi were happy, as he reunited with his one true love… of course, he had no recollection of the adventure he had, and the sadness that he endured.

Ding-Dong!
Ginti asked, "Huh? Who's that?"

Mugi called, "Ginti! Would you get that for me?"

He called back, "Yeah, sure."

He went to the door and grumbled, "We've been engaged for days now, and already I'm like a housewife. But I'm NOT a housewife!"

He opened the door and suddenly blushed. He saw a woman with long black hair, done in pigtails, wearing glasses, a black school uniform blazer, and a red skirt. She smiled and said, "OH! I was expecting Miss Kotobuki. My name's Saya Kisaragi. I'm supposed to see Miss Kotobuki, for something important…"

Ginti then said, from out of nowhere, "Uh… uh… Hostile Sex?"

"Huh? Saya asked, "Sir, what are you saying?"

He giggled, as he was embarrassed, "Eh, heh-heh-heh-heh-heh… AHEM! Sorry. I have a little bit of a déjà vu problem. Or I might be cracking up."

"You can tell me."

"Uh… No, thanks. Even so, that's an actual response. I don't even know what it was."

Saya smiled, "I'm sure it was nothing. Can I come in? I won't bite… Mr. Hostile Sex~!"

She laughed, as Ginti was annoyed. Mugi came in, as she smiled, "SAYA~! Oh, great to see you!"

They shared a hug, as Saya said, "Your parents are gone, right? I figured we talk about your upcoming wedding. I wanted to fit you into a brand-new dress."

"Thank you, Saya. Did you give Wataru a call?"

"You bet. He's bringing his 12 sisters to the wedding, once graduation is over. I believe this will be a wonderful wedding. So… Who's lucky groom?"

Mugi pointed at him, "Him. This is Ginti. My lovely fiancé~!"

Ginti said, "Uh, hello."

Saya grinned, "Oh, yes… Mr. Hostile Sex? He's such a kidder."

Mugi asked, "Hostile sex?! What makes you say that?"

Saya whispered to her ear what it means. She explained that it's sex, but with punching and strangling, angered by the past demons you have burdened, over your life. But you'd still enjoy it, even if you let it out. Mugi was furious at Ginti, as she tapped her shoe, "Ginti… You got some explaining to do… Hostile Sex, ehhhhh?"

Ginti cringed, "Uh, Mugi, that was a slip of the tongue-! I MEAN, it was out of my ass-! NO, NO, NO! I MEAN… IT WAS A STUPID MISTAKE! I SUDDENLY FELT A FLASH OF-!"

Mugi smiled, gritting her teeth, holding her anger, "Oh, it's alright, Ginti… I have nothing to be mad about."

Ginti sighed in relief, "Oh, good… So, the wedding's on?"

Mugi smiled, holding up a frying pan, "It's still on, baby…"

WHANG!
Mugi slammed Ginti's head with the frying pan, as she concluded, "But if you dare cheat on me like that, using this Hostile Deflowering, we're through! DO YOU UNDERSTAND ME?"

Ginti said nothing. He was unconscious. Saya smiled, as she said, "Well, I'm glad you won't use it. Only I use it, whenever I get hostile. But I'm calm as a cucumber, today."

"Oh, do you use it on your boyfriend?"

"Uh, no… I'm actually single… My first boyfriend, Itsuki, died in an accident, and Fumito shot me, after that."

"YIKES! I hope you were okay."

"Oh, it's hard to explain, but it was just a, uh, shot in the shoulder. If it hit my heart, I'd die."

"That Fumito is a jerk. All men are the same, when it comes to vendettas."

"I know, right?"

They laughed together, as Ginti was moaning on the floor, "Why… do I… even… bother?"


That night, Ginti and Mugi were in bed, as Mugi said, "You okay with this? I'm real sorry about what I did."

He smiled, "That's alright. I would never cheat on you… especially towards that cutie in glasses. But you're the total package."

"I know. Saya's a weird girl… Now, Origami… She just had to date a nice guy named Dumont. He's a very wonderful man, and he knows Origami's tastes."

He said, "Oh, yes… Mugi, it's Dufort."

"Huh?"

"I… think I know him from somewhere…"

She joked, "Aw, thanks. I get confused by it. But I Dumont very well…"

She felt aroused, as she said, "Ginti… I knew we're engaged and all…"

A full moon shone, as he said, "Aw, what's wrong, baby?"

Mugi removed her sleeping gown, showing her bare body, as she said, "Do me, Ginti… Why wait?"

Ginti said, nervously, "Uh, are you sure? You can't rush things…"

"I'm protected." She said, "Besides, I've always wanted to know what a man feels like… in warmth… and in hot steamy… sexy… lustful…"

He ripped Ginti's shirt open and shouted, "YOU FUCKING ASSHOLE! I'LL KILL YOU!"

She slammed her fists onto his head and roared, "AAAAGH! I HATE YOU SO MUCH! AAAGH!"

She pummeled onto him, as he was moaning, "Mugi! STOP!"

Mugi wept, as she held a bruised Ginti, by the face, "I know in my heart, Wataru, I always loved you… But I want you out of my life… For your sisters, I understand, so that we can be happy… BUT YOU DIDN'T HAVE TO SAY GOODBYE TO ME, FOR GINTI!"

Her eyes were red and demon-like, as Ginti was panicking, "Uh, Mugi… Why are your eyes-?"

Mugi clasped his arms, and started to kiss and lick his face, rubbing her bare breasts onto his chest. They were having sex, in her bedroom, as Mugi was given a hostile look in her face.

One hour later, they were tired out and exhausted, as Ginti moaned, "Wow… Mugi… It's not even our honeymoon… and you're already an animal…"

Mugi smiled, as her red eyes remained, "I know… And you're a filthy beast… I so love you…"

Ginti said, "And that's why will be husband and wife, forever. Mugi, I'll always love you."

Mugi held him and said, "Until death do us part, Ginti… My love…"

She hissed demonically, "Until death… DO US PART!"

Her mouth opened, revealing huge fangs from her mouth, and started to devour his neck. He screamed in pain, as he was bitten through the neck and throat.

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGH!"

Meanwhile, in Promised Island, Sakuya, in her blue shirt and pants was looking through a black bookcase. A girl in purple hair and a red suit appeared, holding a crystal ball. She then said, in a quiet voice, "Sakuya. What are you doing?"

Sakuya said to her, "Oops! Chikage… I, uh…"

"Are you taking my books, without asking, again?"

"Sorry… It's just… I'm happy that Dear Brother is okay with Mugi's marriage to Ginti. I wanted to get him a gift."

Chikage viewed her ball, and said in a sad voice, "I'm sorry, Sakuya… Brother Dear's fate is resolved… And for Mr. Ginti… his has already begun."

"What do you mean?"

Chikage explained, "I should explain… Should you take the book, you would be consumed in dark powers."

Sakuya said, "But I'm too nice. Mugi's nice, too. So, I figured, I wanted something to try out. Maybe magically produce a bouquet of flowers to her."

Chikage shook her head and said, "No… You wouldn't. Leave well enough alone."

"But…"

"Sakuya… What you did to Brother Dear broke his heart… But you also saved his life."

"Huh? What do you mean?"

Chikage heaved, "Ahhhh… a full moon… And it's already too late… You see, Miss Kotobuki, the one Brother Dear used to date, is not from here. Every 28 days, she becomes entranced by the male, and seduces him, only for him to be left wide open… and devour him, blood and all. First, she performs a hostile sexual ritual, and after one hour, the female would leave the tired out male open, and devour his neck, sucking the blood from his body."

Sakuya gasped in horror, "You mean… Miss Kotobuki is…"

Chikage said, "A carnivorous demonic succubus."

Sakuya cringed, "So, when I introduced Ginti to Mugi… to make her break away from Dear Brother, so I can have him all to myself… I saved Dear Brother!"

Chikage concluded, "But have endangered Mr. Ginti, in the process…"

It means one thing: Ginti's wish came true. Mugi was his, forever. However, he changed everything, for the worst. Sakuya made the mistake, as she was frightened for what she did.

Sakuya sobbed, "Uh-oh…"

Eventually, the wedding was called off, after Ginti died.

XXXXX

Mugi was sitting by Ginti's corpse, as his head was bitten off, while licking the blood off his body. She said, "Ginti… I just couldn't take it. I want to marry you… but I want so much more. It's a shame, thought. If I didn't met you, Wataru would be my beautiful meal. I'll revive you, one day, darling… And you shall be my feast, again and again… forever…"

She kissed his severed head and licked off the blood from his curled up lips. She winked, "I love you, Ginti… And until death do us part…"

She kneeled her naked body by him and cuddled onto it. Mugi had killed his fiancé.

Sumire showed up, as she gasped, "I heard a noise, Miss Tsumugi! What hap-? AAAAGH!"

She shrieked, as Mugi smiled, "Oh, Sumire… Be a dear and clean up this mess… Also, have my suitor stitched up, so I plan to revive him, when the time's right…"

Sumire sobbed, as she kneeled to her, "Uh… Yes, Mistress Tsumugi. I understand… Right away…"

She carried Ginti's corpse away, as Mugi, naked and covered in blood, held her hand up, "Ah, yes… Soon, once Ginti's ready to be alive and kicking again, resurrected from my magic, I shall be Mrs. Ginti… and my darling husband… will be my endless meal… It's not easy being the demon daughter of a rich couple from Hell. But I do need a husband… and a dish… Ginti's perfect for me."

She lied on the bed and rubbed herself in Ginti's blood, preparing for the next time that Ginti & Mugi share an intimate moment. And so ended a lovely romantic tale of a man who found his girl, and saved her life; only to realize that he made the biggest mistake of his life…
