"Rani! Wait up!" Masaki cried as school was let out for the day. Rani was boiling mad at her sister. Rani stopped dead in her tracks and whipped around to face her sister with dead set eyes. Masaki stopped as well. Their faces were merely an inch apart and Masaki could fell Rani's spiritual pressure rising.

"Masaki…..You know well when I'm mad at someone…they usually don't make it past the first day…." Rani said as she jabbed her sister.

"But seeing as you're my twin…..I'll spare you this once…." Rani said she returned back to her normal self. Masaki was mentally relieved but didn't show it.

"What you did there was not good. I was trying to help a sprit crossover"

"Which one? Maybe I can-?"

"No"

"No? how come?"

"Xahan only requires my and Aiden's help. She won't trust any other…"

"Okay…." Masaki said as they walked hand in hand out of the school grounds to see their mother there waiting for them.

Ichigo walked back into his studio. He was tired from skateboarding in and out of town. He sat down on his chair and Xahan appeared sitting on his desk with her legs crossed in a lady matter. His eyes somewhat glared at the ghost girl.

"What?" she asked.

"Do you think I went too far back there?" he asked her.

"She was bound to find out. So why not now?"

"Yea, but still…." he trailed off.

"Look could been worse…she could've asked more questions, but she didn't. Melinda kept cool"

"Still…I don't think I should've shown her my Captain's uniform yet"

"You worry too much"

"Do I?"

"Yes?"

"….er anyway…..I know where your son is now" he said to change the subject.

"Really?" he face lit up.

"Yes…..he's living in Japan with wife and daughter now"

"He got married? And I'm a grandmother?"

"Yes and Yes"

"I wish I could see now"

"How come? Spirits are allowed to go where they please"

"Well I can't leave here…I've tried many times"

"Any idea why?"

"Yea…..Not only am I linked to Markus…I'm linked to my Father, but not by choice….." she said.

"what was your relationship with your father?"

"He…..was loving and good, but…..he changed when he took away my child…he became this…monstrous being…so I ran away from home for my protection and look for my son" she said with down cast eyes.

"Does he still live here in Grandview?"

"…..Yes…."

"Have you visited him?"

"….No…never….." she said with tears.

"I…My wife and I…we can help….help you crossover but…it won't be easy…."

"I…..just want to see my son and love before I crossover…and have my father see what he missed out" Xahan said looking at Ichigo in the eye.

"Alright…so….you ready for the first step?" he asked extending an arm. Xahan looked at it with slight fear. In her mind if she took that hand there would be no turning back, but she be able to move on and rest in peace with the other spirits. Xahan smiled and took it. The deal was sealed and soon she be able to put this behind her.

Melinda Gordon was closing up her store when a red Ford pulled up. An old man in his late 70's or something walked out and was carrying a rather large box in his arms.

"Sir? Do you need help with that?" she asked him.

"No….no…..no, I may be old, but I've been through much worse than this. I can handle it, but thanks for the offer though" he said as he walked up to her.

"I was hoping you can take this off this old man's hands and sell some of the contents in here" he said to her. Melinda nodded and took the box. It was heavy but she could handle it. For a moment.

"Sure, uh….could you open the door for me?"

"Of course" he did so and followed her into the store. Melinda set the box down with a soft thud.

"Okay…..I'll see tomorrow what's inside the box and then start with the process, but I need you to sign some papers first before you leave…uh Mr?"

"Schiffer. Just Schiffer" he told her quickly. Melinda went to the back and found the forms she need and came back up front.

"Okay Schiffer All I need you to do is sign here and reason of why you wish to hand the possessions over to my store" she explain briefly.

"Very well" he signed his name and wrote something briefly and handed it back to her quickly.

"There. And Thank you. I must be going then" he left quickly and the door slammed softly behind him, Melinda was some what taken back by his actions and looked at the forms. His name was written a bit sloppy, but legible. But his reason of releasing his box was brief. It said:

I don't want them anymore.

Outside Schiffer was getting his car and drove off quickly. It was done. The object in the box were plaguing him for some time. They brought too much painful memories and the shame that was brought upon his family name. It was over and now he can live on, but for how long much more?

There! Another one bites the dust!
