Three days have passed since Kana left and no one besides Ken knows where she has gone but he decides to keep it a secret even as he watches Yuri pace back and forth nervously. After her first day gone, Ken had gone to the Temple to see what was going on but was forbidden to enter certain areas around the main hall which caused him to become a little uneasy.

Yuri throws his hands up in the air as he rants, "Where could she have gone? It's been three days. Everything has been solved between us as far as I know. Is there something more she's been hiding from me? Did she go back home without telling me first? Is she able to get back home? Did she run away to the circus?!"

"Calm down Yuri." Wolfram tries to keep his personal annoyance out of his tone. "I'm sure she's fine and she'll come back when she wants to."

"But…" he stops as he realizes that arguing would be useless and won't solve anything. "I'm going to go and wait for her then. She has to be coming back soon and I'll be the first one to greet her when she does." Yuri scurries out of the room with Wolfram and Greta chasing after him. Ken sighs and follows as well but at a slower pace.

When Ken reaches the main entrance, not much has changed with Yuri's behavior except for now he is pacing on the stairs instead of in the previous room. Greta takes a seat on the stairs with her chin resting in her hands as she watches Yuri pace and Wolfram try to get Yuri to stop. Ken goes to stand beside her. Yuri eventually grows tired and sits next to Greta with Wolfram taking the spot on his other side.

Soon the sun starts to sink as the afternoon passes. The four wait as patiently as possible. Greta rests on Yuri's lap and falls asleep. Footsteps tap on the stone as Conrad comes down the stairs behind them.

"Hi, Conrad", Yuri welcomes him half heartedly and yawns.

"How long have you been out here for?" Conrad asks out of concern.

"Too long", Wolfram complains.

Yuri glares at Wolfram, "You didn't have to stay out here with me if you didn't want to." Yuri directs his attention back to Conrad. "I've just been so worried that I haven't been able to do much of anything else today. I don't know why Kana didn't let anyone know where she went before she left."

The sound of hoof beats racing toward the castle grow louder and louder with each second. Everyone looks up at the open gate as two horses with their riders come to a halt once inside the castle grounds.

"I win!" the first rider yells as she jumps off her horse. The second rider's horse is blocking the first rider from Yuri's and everyone else's view.

"You cheated plus you have home advantage here", the second rider accuses the first.

Yuri rushes forward as he clearly recognizes the voice of the second rider and the others quickly follow.

"That doesn't count. You knew what you were getting yourself into when you accepted the bet. Now, a deal's a deal so you had better keep your end of the bargain", the first rider continues the argument. Yuri, Wolfram, Conrad, Ken, and Greta are stumped as to when a good time to interrupt would be.

"I want a rematch. This race was rigged."

"How was it rigged? I've been with you the whole time. There's no way I did something without you knowing about it."

"I still want a rematch."

"Now you're just being a sore loser."

"Kana!" Yuri finally interrupts the bickering.

The second rider turns around in the saddle to face Yuri. Kana's face lights up when she sees her cousin. "Yuri!" she slides down from her horse's back.

"Kana, where the heck have you been for the past three days?"

Kana tips her head to the side pondering why Yuri asked such a question. The first rider comes from behind the horse, her long black hair flowing gracefully around her. "Didn't he tell you?" she adds an extra emphasis to the word as if saying his name was taboo.

"Huh?" everyone looks at the other woman dumbfounded.

Ken steps forward and bows. "It's good to see you again, Sanne."

Yuri points at Sanne and stammers, "I…I…It really is you! What happened?" Upon a clearer inspection, the resemblance between Kana and Sanne is undeniable. Except for the hair and eye color, the two women could be mistaken as twin sisters.

Sanne continues on with her explanation as if nothing had changed. "It's too complicated to explain everything but I am alive and in my own body as of this moment. Kana and I have been at the Temple for the past three days. He", she indicates at Ken as she still refuses to say his name, "was the one who told us to go there in the first place. He's known where we were all along."

"Murata!" Yuri yells in frustration as he turns on his friend.

Ken scratches the back of his head as he tries to work his way out of this situation. "It wouldn't have mattered either way since you wouldn't have been able to get anywhere near where they were working."

Yuri squints his eyes and ponders whether or not Ken is telling the truth but he forgives him quickly none the less. Yuri looks at Kana with a sad expression on his face. "I thought you would have told me directly, Kana. I didn't know if you had found out how to get home or not and if you did, if you would be able to come back."

Kana bites her quivering lower lip. She gives in and launches herself at Yuri, squeezing him and squealing with joy. "Yuri, you are too cute! It reminds me of when Aunt Jenny use to dress you up in gir…"

Yuri yells and flails his arms in the air breaking his hold from Kana and covering up anything more she might say about his humiliating past.

Kana laughs as Yuri turns red and she continues on with an explanation. "I have not been able to go back home yet but while I was at the Temple, I did learn how to get back. I'm going to have to go back some time soon. I need to talk to my grandmother and take care of some things for college before I come back here."

Wolfram gives a loud, "Humph", and crosses his arms across his chest as he stands up straight. Even though Kana and Yuri are related, Wolfram did not like having to share Yuri's attention and affection with anyone else. "So you are coming back? Why don't you just stay over there? That place is your home."

"And Shin Makoku is where my family is from and I consider this more of a home then my home on Earth ever was. Plus, Earth is also Yuri's home and I don't see you shooing him back as quickly. So, you're just going to have to deal with me for a long time." She childishly sticks her tongue out at him.

Wolfram stomps his foot and marches off.

Yuri sighs, "I wish you would two would at least try to get along."

Kana laughs, "Maybe someday, when he's a little more mature. He may be older than me in years but he still acts like a kid."

Sanne walks up behind Kana and pushes her shoulders as she navigates Kana away from the remainder of the group. "Sorry, but we have to go discuss the terms of our deal. We'll be done in time for dinner."

Kana digs her heels down into the dirt quickly to stop. "Yuri, just a heads up, I will be going back home within the next few days, just in case I can't find you before I leave."

Yuri nods and Sanne continues pushing Kana.

A few days later, Kana, Sanne, Yuri, Ken, and Conrad are gathered around the fountain inside the Temple. Everyone had said a quick "See you later" to Kana. She steps up to the edge of the fountain and turns around to see everyone behind her.

"Later", she gives a small salute and jumps back into the water and disappears.
