'Amata, I'm so glad that you're back. My hole-digging buddy!' said Andy with a big smile on his face, and he immediately went to give Amata a big hug.

'So are you guys 'official' now?' Andy asked with a mischievous smile on his face.

'Andy!' Mix shouted at her insensitive boyfriend. 'You don't just go asking people whether they are a couple or not!'

'I see we've got quite the party here, glad to have you back Amata,' Cayenne said and offered a handshake. 'However if I even hear a word about Mikono upset…I will make sure that you suffer so much that you wish that you were never born.'

'Hehehehe…sure Cayenne, thanks for caring about my well-being,' Amata answered back nervously. Now this was one overly protective big brother that you DO NOT want to mess with.

'Amata!' Amata was suddenly knocked back by a hug. 'Amata, I was so scared that you were dead,' said Yunoha, the small girl with a big heart.

'Hey how come I don't get a hug like Amata?' Mikono pouted. She wanted a hug too.

'Come here you,' Cayenne called to Mikono, and pulled her into an embrace. 'Never scare me like that again ok? And if that Amata does anything to you, tell me. I'll give him a piece of my mind.'

'Yes, big brother,' was all MIkono could say before tears were dropping down her eyes.

'Hey now, don't cry. Everything's over, its time to have a bit of R&R,' Zessica said softly before pulling her into an embrace. Despite their differences and misunderstandings in the past, they were still best of friends, and friends support one another in times of need.

Everyone was crowding around the pair, some were congratulating them on finally able to be together, while some were showing their concern and happiness for their safe return. Only Kagura remained motionless, it seemed as if his eyes were fixed on Mikono the whole time, as if he was studying her very carefully.

'Kagura-san? Is something the matter?' Mikono asked politely. She knew that he once thought that he was her 'pre-determined' lover and fought with Amata over her numerous times, there was sure to be some tension between them.

However, before Kagura could give an answer. Everyone's attention was caught by the booming voice of Fudo Zen.

'So I see the whole party is here?' Fudo Zen said in his usual loud and commanding voice.

'I would like to see all of you in the NEO-DEAVE headquarters underground right now, we've got a few things to sort out,' said chairman Crea in hers usually stoic voice, then she signaled the group to follow her.

In NEO-DEAVA's underground headquarters…

'First, I would like to congratulate all of you in your exceptional performance against the war against the abductors. School will take a month long break and resume next month, you guys have earned it,' said Crea.

'However, there are several things we must address to at once,' said chairman Crea and turned her gaze to meet Kagura's.

'Kagura Demuri, I understand that you were once the pilot of the Mithra Ghins. Am I right? Numerous times you have fought with us and even killed some of our students in the process. What are your intentions now?' said Crea, everyone felt a bit uncomfortable when she mentioned the death of their fellow classmates. It seems that the death of their classmates must have hit hard.

'I honestly don't know. All my life I have been brought up to believe that Mikono was the one for me, it almost became an obsession for me. Now that that bastard Mykage is gone maybe my life does serve no purpose at all,' said Kagura. Everyone was shocked at Kagura, the normally outspoken and confident pilot of the Mithra Ghins suddenly looked very lost and vulnerable.

'Chairman Crea, if I can have a say! I think that Kagura is an excellent and capable comrade. It is because of him that I'm still alive now. Please do not be so harsh on him just because of his past actions. If it weren't for his change of heart at the last moment, we may not have been able to win,' said Zessica in a sudden outburst. Everyone was silent. Sure she was right, but how could they just forget about what he did? And how about the lives of the students he killed?

'…redemption. Kagura know that you have people who care now. People who you can call friends and a place to call home. Redeem yourself from your past and look at the future,' said chairman Crea, her features softened and she gave Kagura an ever slight smile.

'…..I….thank you,' was all Kagura could say. Many would be puzzled by Kagura's more gentle behaviour these days. It could probably be due to not being under Myakge's influence anymore. However, it could also be due to the hole left in his heart, in ways more than one.

'Now onto more casual matters. How should we identify Kagura? Is he Amata's twin brother? We need to provide him with some identification if he was to stay in Neo Hong Kong,' said Crea. Everyone was discussing among themselves.

'How about we just call him Amata's evil half!' shouted Andy with a huge grin on his face.

'Hey! Watch it, hole-freak. Call me that one more time and I'm gonna tear you into pieces,' threatened Kagura.

'Now…now…Kagura, calm down,' said Amata as he tried to calm his other half down.

He had never really thought about this question. What exactly was Kagura? He was him, but also an entirely different being. He decided to respect that.

'Chairman Crea, I think the most logical and believable explanation would form Kagura to be my twin brother,' answered Amata.

'Hmm…I guess that does make sense. Fudo what do you think?' Crea asked Fudo, who was silent since they came to the headquarters.

'I think it's an excellent idea, Crea I still have some things to take care of. Could you take over from here?' asked Fudo. His eyes seemed like they were twinkling, as if he had something planned for our young elements. Then as always, he suddenly disappeared into thin air.

'Amata, Mikono, are you two in need of any medical attention?' asked Crea with a genuinely concerned look on her face.

'No ma'am,' they both answered in unison.

'Good, now listen. Here are the final arrangements. Everyone should go back and continue helping the other in rebuilding the school. Amata and Mikono, follow me to my office after this. As for Kagura. Zessica, since you seem to be quite familiar with him, he's your responsibility for now, at least until he's gotten used to Earth.' Said Crea.

'HUH?! Why me chairman? I don't wanna be stuck with that asshole,' Zessica protested.

'Shut it mopey girl. Like I want you as my tourguide,' said Kagura.

'Amata and Mikono follow me to my office. Zessica and Kagura, learn to get along, as for now, show him around the school and around Neo Hong Kong. Also don't forget to show him to his room. All of you are dismissed,' Crea said before signaling Amata and Mikono to follow her.

'No fun…I'm stuck with this red-haired asshole,' Zessica pouted.
