They heard him chuckle; his voice sounded too dark to be Takenaga's. "Yes, we finally meet. Too bad we won't be getting to know each other." Kana took out a knife.

"Funny," Kyohei said. "We were just thinking the same think." He cracked his knuckles.

"Kyohei, don't be stupid!" Ranmaru warned. "You can't win against a knife."

"So what if I get a few scratches? It's nothing new."

Both Kyohei and Kana circled each other, waiting for the other to make the first move. Kyohei was hoping that Kana would hesitate and make the first move. Any fighter knows that whoever makes the first move is at a disadvantage. Kyohei wouldn't make the first move either. He was trying to stall.

"I know your tactics, Kyohei," Kana smirked. "You are way too predictable. Whatever that fool, Takenaga, wrote to you, stalling won't help."

Damn, that guy's like a mind reader, Kyohei thought. Both he and Kana stopped circling each other, but still neither fighter moved.

"So far it seems we're both thinking the same thing," Kana said smugly.

"I guess so," Kyohei agreed, "but you're never going to kill me if neither of us moves."

"I don't have to kill you."

"Huh?" Kyohei was very confused by that statement until Kana pointed over to their groups of friends.

Kana started to walk over to the group and Kyohei knew what he was planning. Kana was forcing him to make the first move by threatening to kill his friends. However, Kyohei didn't have to worry. In what felt like 0.2 seconds, Sunako had already detained Kana and the knife was on the ground near Ranmaru who picked it up and threw it into some bushes.

"What now?" Sunako said victoriously.

"Why you little-"

Before Kana could finish his sentence, sirens were heard. Kana glared at all of them. Kyohei and Ranmaru had already apprehended him.

"So the little bastard told you to call the police, did he?" Kana said, in a rather pissed off and grim tone.

"He did a lot more than that," Kyohei spat back at him.

"That's right!" Yuki chimed in.

"What did that fool do?" Kana, the stone cold killer now had the look of fear in his eyes.

"He committed himself," Ranmaru said. "Well, he gave us permission to commit him, but it was more of him asking than saying we could if we wanted to."

Takenaga was moved to a small hospital far away from the city, but not too far that his friends wouldn't be able to visit him. His father barely showed up, but mother came a few times with Taki, his old nanny. He enjoyed his visits from Noi, talking about their future for when he was to get out. Kyohei and Yuki would bring him his assignments so that he didn't get behind (he was Takenaga after all). Sunako came a couple of times with the guys, but she usually didn't come. She kept Ranmaru company since he felt too guilty to go (Takenaga knew his friend felt guilty, but he didn't hold it against him).

Four months past and Takenaga seemed to be doing better. The doctors said there were no noticeable signs that Kana was still a part of him. Takenaga was released during his fifth month there. He and Noi got an apartment together, since in a few months they were going to start college. It was somewhat difficult to be officially on his own since his father disowned him (he was still upset about his son's experiment), but he was with Noi and that was all he needed.

Their friends visited every weekend or they all went out. Ranmaru officially apologized to Takenaga now that he was finally better and Takenaga forgave him. Truth be told, Takenaga was never angry with Ranmaru, but with himself for even thinking of such a project. He decided on a career as a writer or a journalist, instead of a science-based career.

"So, when is our next break?" Yuki asked.

"In a week, Yuki," Kyohei grumbled. In his opinion, break couldn't come fast enough.

"It's a week, right?" Ranmaru asked.

"Yes, one week plus the weekend," Takenaga responded, glancing up from his book.

"Why?" Noi turned to Yuki.

"I think we should all go on a trip together, like to a beach resort or something," Yuki said smiling, while Sunako cringed in the background yelling "NOOOOOOOOO!"

"I think that's a great idea," Ranmaru said. "I'll call my father and see if he'll set it up."

"Yay, vacation!" Noi cheered, causing Takenaga to smile at her before continuing his book.

A week later, the gang was on their way to Ranmaru's family's beach resort. Sunako had to be tied up to even get her in the car (some things never change). Noi was talking to Sunako about going shopping and other things they should do while they were there. Yuki and Kyohei were playing handheld videos games trying to best each other. Takenaga, on the other hand, was reading a book, the same book he had started reading when he made that potion.

Takenaga and Noi went up to their room and started unpacking. Noi kissed Takenaga on the cheek before going to take a shower. He had time to finish the book while she was in there. The ending consisted of a wedding, the doctor fighting off his other personality, losing the battle, and ending it himself by forcing his friend to "take care of him." Takenaga closed the book and walked over the dresser, placing it down gently. He looked into the mirror and then smirked, "What a happy ending."

A/N: I hope it's clear that Kana isn't really gone. Yes, there will be a sequel, Takenaga's Struggle.
