Thanks for the reviews. I really appreciate it. Anyway enough of the chitchat & let's get on with it.

"Tonikaku, I think the others are done with their shopping so let's go back now."

"What are they shopping for?" the twins said in unison.

"You'll see."

Tanjoubi Omedetou

"Sigh, Anna can you please tell me what you're up to?" said Hao as they took a stroll through the park before heading home.

"How many times must you ask me that?" Anna said with a hint of annoyance in her voice.

"Well since you said we'd find out what the guys are shopping for & since I can't seem to tell who, I might as well ask you since I can't seem to use reishi right now."

"Why not?" asked Yoh as he takes a sip from the bottle of water Anna brought him.

"Well either my reishi curse is finally getting lifted or that seal Anna made must have affected it temporarily." Hao said as-a-matter-of-factly.

For a moment they paused and silence seem to conquer it all for that certain time. That is until Yoh scratched the back of his head and said:

"Wait weren't you able to use it in the store a while ago?"

"Well yeah but since I got out of that store, it just doesn't seem to work."

A 'hmph' was the only reply the boy got from the seemingly cold-hearted itako. It's as if she knew about something they don't and thought that she'd just leave them clueless about it for the time being.

"Sigh, if you won't tell me anything I must as well try to break this 2nd seal you placed on me but then again..." Hao said as he try to figure what type of spell his brother's fianceƩ placed on him.

"Stop right there!"

Everyone stopped right at their tracks and turned to see where the voice came from.

"Oh no not now?!" said Hao as he smacks his forehead while taking in the fact that one of his old nemeses came to try to kill him yet again.

"Hao, we have come to take you to the deepest depths of hell!"

"Don't you know that I've already been to hell 3 times?!"

"Yeah we know we just felt like saying it that's all."

"ugh," Hao said as he bangs his head on a nearby tree. "You.people.are.IDIOTS!"

"Hao, daijoubu ka?" Yoh asks as he notices that his twin's head is beginning to bleed from the pressure of banging his head over and over.

"Boku wa daijoubu." said Hao as he feels the wound for any splinters that might have sunk in.

"Aa sou ka. Tonikaku, kimitachi wa naniwo koko ni shiteiru ka?"

"For justice to give punishment of course, isn't that right Jeanne-sama?"

"Of course Marco all for justice."

Hao accidentaly hit his head on a branch of a tree. "Ita..i..." the boy said as he crouched down to hold his head.

"Hao omae wa daijoubu?"

"Does it look like he's ok, Yoh?" said the itako in a very annoyed voice.

"Not really."

"Then why did you ask then?!"

"Wakaranai... I just felt like it."

"Why must you be so stupid?!" said Anna in a dangerously low tone.

"Ahem, anyway... Hao we're here to kill you. Do you have any last words?!" said the blonde-haired man in uniform.

"..."

"Hello are you even listening?!"

"Shut.the.fuck.up!" said the boy as he craddles his head in his hands. "Yoh, can you take care of them please. I don't think I can handle it... my vision's getting blurry."

"Ok... Umm... X-Laws, can you please stop? Hao's currently suffering from a concussion & we still have to get home to see what Anna has in store for us... Onegai!" and with that Yoh did his ever-famous teary-eyed, puppy dog pout which is enough to even persuade the cold-hearted itako into giving him money to buy his favorite singer's new release CD.

This time it was Anna who smacks her forehead. Why? Well as you would've noticed she thinks that Yoh has finally lost it & decided that they should all die just because of his actions. All she hopes is that she dies a peaceful death without much pain & hopes that she never has to put up with that idiot & his crazy half ever again. Fortunately for her the X-Laws didn't aim their guns at them nor moved and the reason will be in the next phrase spoken by the iron maiden herself.

"Ok we'll stop. Marco put down your gun & head for the inn. We'll be waiting for the Birthday boys to reach there and give them our surprise. Before we go, part one of that is that we'll stop trying to chase after you for 3 weeks & I'll give my blessings to go on with life."

"Maji?!" they all said in unison.

"Yes it is the will of god that I would be nice to you today." said the girl in the torture device.

There was a long moment of silence as everyone try to take in what the girl has said. Yoh & Hao stood there with mouths wide open & eyes filled with shock. Anna looks as if someone slapped her & Marco looks like he's going to faint. After what seemed like an eternity, Hao finally spoke & said,

"Ok I know I shouldn't be concerned but is it just me or did you lose it?!"

"Yeah why act so weird all of the sudden?"

"Where's Jeanne-sama & what did you do with her?"

The girl in the tin can remained silent as if a dirty secret is being kept in there.

"What are you talking about? Are you saying that I'm an imposter?!"

"You're not JUST an imposter, you have also defied god's messenger! Not just that you also impersonated the messenger of god himself!"

Everyone turned their heads to the direction of the voice & was surprised to see who it was. It was... it was... Jeanne?

Author's Note: sorry if it's another cliffhanger but I just seem to like keeping you all in suspense. I feel that you'll stop reading if I don't. Anyway again corrections & reviews are highly expected. Oh yeah, thanks to Nikka for the corrections. I really appreciate it.
