Author's Note: And here is the very low-key ending to the Water Seven Saga. The Fake Capricorns Saga starts in the next chapter with the Return of X Arc. Who is X? Is X a hero or a villain? Well, the only one who knows is me. I'm not even dropping the subtlest hints on who it is. You will know who X is when he or she makes their appearance.

Oh, and the plans the Capricorns are making will tie heavily into the next arc. Don't worry, it's not anything bad they're planning.

Ch. 112: "Plans Made in Secrecy."

It was three days after the ordeal with Lavinia, and the Capricorns were preparing to leave the island and the carnival. In town, Yuki-Rin, Molly, and Kazuma were leaving the local bakery.

"I didn't know this carnival had its own bread…" Yuki-Rin commented.

"Kaoru wanted some. Understandable, since he had to go to Lavinia's funeral today," Kazuma explained. Yuki-Rin sighed.

"At least everyone's hailing Kaoru for saving us. I just like how they called us 'curious looky-loos' in the papers," Yuki-Rin said as they approached the Hyperion. "Oi! We're back!"

Strangely, nobody responded.

"That's odd. Normally, somebody would come out," Molly commented.

"Maybe they all went out," Kazuma suggested.

"I'll go check. In the meantime, put the groceries away," Yuki-Rin said as she entered the Hyperion. Upon entry, she heard voices coming from down the hall.

" – And we'll need to find out what she'll want to eat that night…"

Cautiously, Yuki-Rin entered the dining room, where the voices were coming from. Inside, Kartik, Matsu, the Sarutobi siblings, Kaoru, Mina, Wolfgang, Enlai, Mikuri, Sayuki, Blaise, and Hana were deep in conversation.

"Guys, we're back," Yuki-Rin said. Everyone looked up.

"Oh! There you are, Yuki-Rin! We were just discussing… The cultural history of Water Seven," Mikuri explained. Yuki-Rin just blinked, not believing what Mikuri said.

"What did you say about a girl wanting to eat something?" Yuki-Rin asked.

"Oh! It was a line from a play based on the Franky Family! It's from my favorite scene, where the Franky Family discusses what to feed the Straw Hat Pirates for dinner after they rescue Nico Robin from Enies Lobby!" Wolfgang explained. Yuki-Rin smiled.

"Sounds like an interesting play. We should see it when we go to Water Seven," Yuki-Rin said. "Well, I'm going to go take a shower. Call me when it's dinnertime."

With what seemed like a spring in her step, Yuki-Rin left the room. Wolfgang turned back to his nakama.

"Okay, let's stop lying and start planning. We've got a week to execute this," Wolfgang explained.

"How are we going to get Yuki-Rin out of the Hyperion without raising suspicion?" Blaise asked.

"Send her on an errand. It works every time," Enlai suggested.

"That's not enough time. We need her away from the Hyperion from right around the end of breakfast to around dinnertime," Sayuki explained.

"Obviously, that's not going to work if we're in the middle of the ocean," Heathcliffe pointed out. "Did you even think about if that would happen?"

"You know, it never crossed my mind that we could be at sea on that day. Thanks for bringing it up," Wolfgang said to Heathcliffe before he turned back to the rest of the Capricorns. "And, we've got to make sure that Yuki-Rin's with Molly, Kazuma, or Hana all day."

"I think the best idea would be to send her out with Kazuma. Aki and I were going to decorate that day," Hana explained.

"Why Kazuma? He'd reveal the plans before nightfall," Soren asked.

"Yuki-Rin trusts Kazuma. He'd never tell her about this out of respect," Mikuri explained. Wolfgang smiled.

"Perfect. Everything's coming together," Wolfgang said. Holden pulled something out of his pocket.

"Send Yuki-Rin and Kazuma to this place. They can check in the night before – which would be Valentine's Day – and they can leave the next day," Holden explained. Wolfgang unfolded the paper, revealing an advertisement for a bed and breakfast. Wolfgang glared at Holden.

"Are you sure you want the both of them to be alone there?" Wolfgang asked as he pushed up his glasses.

"Well, I was going to bring Hana there, but I figured that we should send Yuki-Rin there to make this a success," Holden explained.

"Holden!" Hana cried. Before Hana could complain more, Holden kissed her.

After her shower, Yuki-Rin was walking down the hall for dinner, when Kazuma stopped her.

"Hey, Yuki-Rin…" Kazuma said. "Would you… Like to go with me to this place?"

Kazuma handed Yuki-Rin the flyer for the bed and breakfast.

"A bed and breakfast?" Yuki-Rin asked.

"Yeah! For Valentine's Day! I figured that we need an actual date, since all of our dates keep getting interrupted," Kazuma explained nervously. Yuki-Rin smiled.

"Why the hell not?" Yuki-Rin asked Kazuma before giving him a kiss. A few feet away…

"Kazuma will believe anything that concerns Yuki-Rin," Heathcliffe commented.

"You know, you'll believe anything that concerns Aki or your brothers," Hana explained.

"No, I do not!" Heathcliffe retorted. Hana just smiled.

"Anyway, I'm sure the 15th will be a lot of fun. Yuki-Rin will be so happy," Hana said to Heathcliffe. "Let's give her a day to remember."
