Epilogue (A Few Years Later):
Sena:
"Get. It. Off," Haschen pleaded and I laughed. Ada was giggling like all babies did as she tugged on Haschen's ears. Ada…my beautiful, cute little baby girl. She had Tetsuya's dark eyes but naturally blonde hair with a blue streak. It was a common thing with Spellcasters, to have two different hair colors- if they were part spellcaster, I mean. It was a bit confusing. I knew my blue hair was natural- and it was a single color because I was full spellcaster. Ada was part spellcaster and therefore had two hair colors that, I guessed you could say magically, represented the two sides of her heritage.
"Momma."
I looked to see Kisho- my little son. He was three years old and therefore that made him older than his six-month-old sister. He had my blue hair but Tetsuya's dark eyes. I smiled and picked him up. I heard Tetsuya chuckle as Haschen tried and failed to get away from Ada.
"Do you think they'll get a...bonded animal…when their older," he asked curiously as he took Kisho from my arms. I giggled slightly- Tetsuya wasn't too fond of the talking animals since Haschen kept jumping on him.
"Probably," I shrugged, "I mean, there's no way to tell with part-spellcasters, same with half witches. Sometimes they get magical powers and no bonded animal. Sometimes they get both. Sometimes they get neither. Sometimes they get no magical powers but a bonded animal…No way to tell."
Tetsuya nodded and I couldn't help but admire my handsome husband. He got taller since when we got married a few years ago, shortly before we decided to have Kisho. He was pretty tall now and much taller than my 5' 5" frame. He never cut his hair though- no matter how much that I bugged him about it. Then again, I never cut my hair either and it only got longer. It went past my waist- which was why I wore it in a ponytail.
Then the doorbell rang. I opened it with a smile as Hex and Umehito entered with Yami- their two-year-old daughter. Hex and Umehito got married about three years ago- two years after Tetsuya and I got married. Yami was an adorable little witch. I couldn't say half witch since Umehito, who actually did have some magical properties in him, became a witch (or rather a warlock). I guessed that made Yami half-witch, half-warlock. Either way, she was adorable. She had Hex's light blonde, almost white, hair that was very long and Umehito's blue eyes. Wrapped around her waist was a small baby snake. We weren't concerned about it since it was her bonded animal. It was a cute little snake that wouldn't ever hurt her. It couldn't take yet- it was still a baby even if we did cast a spell on it. It didn't have a name yet- since it was Yami who would have to name it and she was just a baby. So in the meantime, we called it Hisser.
"I'm so happy to see you," I cheered as I hugged Hex. Grell jumped out from under her arm and headed straight for the curtains."No," Tetsuya protested as he ran after the cat.
I laughed but I didn't blame him. We lived in a small, modern house that I thought was adorable. It was pretty simple with three rooms (one was for storage), living room, kitchen, and it's wasn't a really big mansion like Haruhi's house (curtsey of her husband, Tamaki). It was home to me though. Tetsuya had given up the mafia all together- though we still were good friends with Ritsu.
Ritsu and his wife (a girl named Mia- I think- that was more of a mafia than he was from the way she took control) didn't live that far away at the Kasanoda Syndicate. Honestly though, I was sure it was Mia pulling most of the strings, but those two were such a cute couple. They just got married about a year ago and didn't have kids yet.

I continued laughing until Hex finally snapped,"IT'S NOT FUNNY!"
Little Yami and Little Ada, both which weren't so little anymore, had finally got their powers. They were about twelve years old now and were more than happy with their powers. Unluckily for Hex, Yami's spiritual animal was a snake- which meant that from the failed spells, Hex's house was filled with snakes. That was just one of the reasons I was talking to Hex VIA spell. Hex screamed as one snake curled around her leg,
"DAMN IT! WHY DID IT HAVE TO BE SNAKES!"
Hex was too scared, well she wouldn't admit it but I knew she was scared, to focus on the spell to get rid of them. It was good news to me since I was laughing my head off.
"Careful," I pointed to one of the snakes behind her, "that's Hisu behind you!"
Hisu was Yami's bonded animal. Personally, I liked the name we called her- which was Hisser. But Hasu was good too, I guess.
"DAMN IT," Hex cursed again, "WHY COULDN'T IT HAVE BEEN FISH! I COULD DEAL WITH FISH!"
I continued laughing. I was never happier that Ada's spiritual animal was a mouse and Kisho's was a ferret (then again that was a bit funny in it's own way since I couldn't explain to his teacher why his backpack was filled with about twenty ferrets or why Ada had a bunch of mice in her pockets).

"Mom," Ada said as she ran up to me, "I bonded!"She was thirteen now and Kisho was sixteen. I smiled and cheered,
"That's great! Where is she? Or he?"
Haschen looked at me,
"Uhh…Sena?"
I looked to where Haschen was and noticed that near her Tetsuya was trying to chase out a mouse. I stifled a giggle since Ada was screaming in horror but it was a bit funny to see my husband desperately trying to get rid of a mouse.
"DAD!"
"Disputatio," I muttered as I pointed towards the mouse. It was pretty cute- being a little field mouse that was pure brown and reminded me of the American cartoon Tom and Jerry.
"CHLOE," Ada cried.
"Help," the mouse yelled and Tetsuya screamed. That was when I lost it- I burst into laughter.

Fourteen-year-olds Yami and Ada were talking up in Ada's room doing who-knows-what. Seventeen year old Kisho was up in his room. Kage, Ritsu's fifteen year old son, was reading. That left us adults (me, Ritsu, Tetsuya, Hex, and Umehito) in the living room. Well not all the adults since Mia couldn't come for the visit and Tetsuya was in the kitchen.
Tetsuya had finally gotten used to the talking animals- Haschen, Chloe, Grell (Hex's bonded animal- a cat), Cujo (Kisho's bonded ferret that was pure white), and Hisu (Yami's bonded snake that was pure black with yellow eyes). I found it funny though since the animals loved to bother him.
"Fried mice," Hisu hissed and Jerry screamed,
"What? Those are my friends!"
"Exactly."
Chloe whimpered and hid behind Cujo- the white ferret just sighed.
"Come on," Cujo said, "That's not funny!"
"I do," Hisu hissed, "Don't you agree Tet-tet?"
Tet-tet was the oh-so-hilarious nickname that the animals called Tetsuya. I found it funny but Tetsuya wasn't amused. He sighed and banged his head on the wall in defeat,
"I give up trying to cook for the animals!"
"Hey," they all protested, "We're people too!"
I laughed.
