A/N: This chapter has very slight spoiler of chapter 190…but not really. As in it's not really even a spoiler since it doesn't…spoil much of anything really. But I thought I should just say it since I don't really know what other people classify as "spoilers". This "spoiler" is in the extended ending, which is in Kanda's POV (for once).

This is probably the shortest chapter. I'm so sorry! –bows–


Kanda eventually pulled away from me and took the necklace out of the box. He brushed the hair away from my neck and put the necklace on me. The pendant clinked when it bumped into the green zincite crystal necklace I already was wearing.

I smiled gently and looked up at him. For once, he was returning my gaze with a soft look in his eyes. The rest of his face remained stoic save for the tiny quirk of his lips.

Despite what had just happened, I was still feeling nervous about what I was going to do.

"H-hey Kanda?" I said, though it sounded more like a question.

He grunted in acknowledgement, signaling me to continue.

I stood on the toes of my good foot and stole a quick kiss. "I l-love you."

"Hn." He may not have said anything in response, but I knew that this was Kanda's way of returning the notion.

We stood there for a good minute or two before I deemed the situation as awkward.

"So…now what?"

[Extended Ending]

Kanda froze, remembering something he was told long ago.

'Humans are born when a man and a woman love each other.' The voice rang in his head.

He snapped his wide-eyed gaze back at Kasia, who was looking concerned with his strange behavior.

[Extended Extended Ending]

Kasia flinched when a flash of light suddenly blinded her and Kanda.

"Oops! The flash turned on!" Lavi's voice chimed as he peeked out from behind a tree, the offending camera in his hands.

Kanda snarled, drawing Mugen and chased after the fleeing redhead.

Kasia stared after the two until they disappeared from her sight.

"Damn. There goes my crutch. Now I have to limp all the way back by myself," she grumbled, starting her long journey back to the building.
