It wasn't that long of an extended period of time, but I have been writing for the next chapter before I sent the last chapter. You'll all be happy to know that in five chapters at most the story will be over because this is the last arc of the story. Please read and review.

Hinata residence
The festivities continue back at the Hinata as the crew were busy eating and talking amongst themselves. Dinner, which was made by Yui (with help from Shinobu), shocked all her friends. Everyone enjoyed the peace.
The diligent Daisuke tended to his now official girlfriend. "I can pull your chair for you, Kimza,"He offered which brought a smile to the Molmol resident.
"Thank you," she said.
Foxy watched with a smirk. "Daisuke is the ideal gentlemen and here I thought he was a stingy bitch." She gave a soft sigh. "I wish my ex-boyfriends were as big of gentlemen's as him."
"I wish a person we all know who works here as a janitor could take notes," Yui sniped out and refrained from rolling her eyes at the resident pervert.
Ichigo choked on his drink. Hoshiko patted him on the back to clear his system.
"Well I think Ichigo is the perfect gentleman." She said smiling to her boyfriend who gave his own cheesy grin.
Yui, Foxy and Rina now rolled their eyes.
The black-haired teen got everyone's attention as he tapped his glass with a fork. "Everyone before we start eating this Christmas dinner I have an announcement to make."
The crew got silent and wondered what could be important. Normally Daisuke would just tell them all the facts without anyone's say so.
Daisuke gave Kimza a glance. "Do you want to tell everyone, Kimza?"
She gave a smile. "It's fine with me," Kimza got up from her spot and stood next to the handsome teen. "Everyone Daisuke and I have some very important news. We have been having a secret relationship for a while and we didn't know how it would go. After we got back from, you know where, we kind of…got very intimate with each other."
Hearing that news some had a suspiction but never said anything. What else could be said?
"Daisuke you horn dog. You got your girlfriend pregnant!" Ichigo broke the news to everyone's shock! Who'd have thought the pervert would figure it out in two shakes?
The place exploded in exposition!
"Is this true, Kimza?" Naru asked with a look of shock on her well-aged face.
The daughter of Su gave a nod. "Yes, along with this," She offered out a hand with an engagement ring on her left wedding finger.
"Daisuke proposed to me earlier and I accepted!"
All the teenage girls squealed, whether in happiness or just out right shock is anyone's guess.
"Oh my god!" Rina, Foxy, Yui, Kaede and even Chazona (who had a tendency to be there when important information was given) gasped!
"KEEP IT DOWN!" Naru roared at the clucking girls before she returned the conversation back to Kimaza. "I know you are happy now but marriage is a big responsibility and having children is a tough job." She explained given she raised Ian for 18 years of his life. It was never easy given Keitaro's bad luck and her own temper.
The glasses wearing (and former protagonist in Love Hina) offered up his two cents. "Naru is right of course. Do you think we were always happy in our marriage? We got into fights, worked very hard to support Ian and his sister, Misa, and read a lot of books on raising children when we didn't know what to do!"
Misa, who is the younger sibling to Ian, is 15 years old; she had long brown hair, hazel eyes and a nice figure to boot. She mostly inherited her mother's looks and as luck would have it none of her father's bad luck. She styled her hair in a tail.
She offered up her own thoughts. "Yeah, mom and dad would religiously look at those annoying books; didn't help them when Ian got into panties when he was 12 years old."
This made the couple freeze in embarrassment at remembering that sordid tale.
Daisuke gave his aunt and uncle a nod in agreeing with them. "You're right. Raising a child with Kimza would be very difficult."
Keitaro, the ever hopeful doofus, gave a smile. "Exactly!."
"Which is why Kimza and I will to move to her home country of Xanadu!" Daisuke declared as Keitaro and Naru's faces dropped. He took some pleasure at bursting their bubble.
Foxy blinked at that and whispered something to Rina. "Isn't that some song from the ancient days of music?"
Rina also looked confused. "Really, I thought it was some movie?"
Mutsumi, who was drinking some tea, gave a random response. "That was a good movie."
Motoko, the calm swordsman (woman) also gave her response. "But you are only a high school student. You can't leave to go to some country you know nothing about."
The smart teen gave a response. "Actually Su's sister has told me very much about her country and it sounds nice."
Ichigo also got involved. "But what about your hobby; you're the most down to earth guy I know who makes weapons, what about that?"
Daisuke closed his eyes for a moment. "I sold my weapons to a company that paid me three hundred million dollars in U.S. bills. If I switch those to the money of Kimza's country I will have over one billion dollars. Enough to pay for my child's schooling and enough to even rule the country."
Su also replied with, "Is true, Daisuke will be financial secure for the rest of his days. You know if he also invests that money to make more!"
You could just hear a pin drop on how silent it was. One billion dollars?
Even though Mitsuni was drooling at the prospect of money and even thinking about, for a moment, dropping her current suitor to make it a harem with Daisuke, she stopped.
Her "southern accent" rang hard as she said, "Sugar, I've known you since you were a baby. You were always one smart cookie but are you sure this is what you want?"
He looked at his "aunt". "Knowledge doesn't buy happiness."
Makoto, Naru, Shinobu and Mitsune would have passed out than; this is the same boy who lacked any empathy for human kind and used rational reason to get what he wanted! These were the end times. Su seemed to take everything in stride as she continued eating her spicy meal.
Keitaro soon decided to use one last weapon at his disposal! "What about your mother…my sister!"
The old residents froze at hearing that infamous name! Kanako Urashima, the mistress of disguise! During the period that Keitaro was away traveling with Seta a revolution happened when Kanako made her appearance and changed the Hinata apartments to what it was originally, a suite for customers. This drove the residents at the time to move and despise her. But after some time, specifically Naru, they reached an understanding…despite the fact Kanako loved Keitaro.
To be specific they were not blood related but adopted into the Urashima family but that didn't matter to her.
Misa hopped on that band wagon. "That's right. Won't Aunt Kanako worry about you?"
Daisuke didn't look bothered as he just said, "If you are that concerned on what she thinks of this matter than you can ask her yourself."
A chime was soon heard as the solemn face of Kanako Urashima appeared form behind her son's tall figure as she an indifferent greeting.
"Hello Hinata House. I'm back." She said.
This freaked out everyone, especially Ichigo, the most. "How the eff did she just appear out of nowhere? I'm positive I didn't see her behind Dai a moment ago!"
A moment later an eraser hit him on his forehead causing him to exclaim in pain.
"Don't call me Dai, Ichi" Daisuke rebuffed with a smirk which caused the pervert to only nod.
Kanako gave a brief to her son, as if she was proud on how he can handle himself before turning to the group. "Who do you think taught Daisuke how to invent?"
She soon gave a glance to her brother and his family. "How is my beautiful niece?" She asked which the teen gave a smile.
"I'm fine aunt Kanako." Misa gave her a hug.
Kanako soon shot a look to Naru. "Seems you are alive"
"Why wouldn't I be?" Naru gave her a hard glare which she brushed off.
"Oh you know, being in the forties is the tough years before hitting 50 and then menopause" Kanako sniped which made Naru freeze.
"Ohhhh that Kanako, she always plays dirty!' Naru raged in her head and about to throttle her sister in law but Keitaro held her off and told her not to get worked up.
Hiding back a triumphant smile Kanako soon turned to her beloved brother and soon noted someone missing from the Urashima clan. "Where is your son Ian, brother?"
The brown-haired glasses man gave a sad response. "No one knows, Kanako."
The black-haired woman shook her head. "What a shame, I actually liked him" She soon brushed that subject aside like water going down a glass window "Anyways, I don't have to give Daisuke permission to go where he wants. He's technically a legal adult now; I was always tough with his upbringing and told him all the things he shouldn't do if he wanted to get ahead of life and I'm happy he listened to most of them." She soon shot him a disapproval look. "Getting a sixteen year old girl pregnant was not one of them."
Daisuke actually squirmed at the glare his mother gave him. No matter how stoic he acts, Daisuke could never win against his own mother's defenses. But this time he'd have to if he wanted to have a life with Kimza and their unborn child.
"Daisuke, your child will be one quarter demon and seventy-five percent human. Are you sure you can live with this?" Kanako stated matter of factly.
He refuted his mom's statement. "Stop bringing up the demon side of me, mother! You raised me until I was seventeen and then made me take care of the Hinata House! I know you are human. As long as I know who you are that tells me who I am…I am a miracle. I am someone who wants to spread joy to people."
Hearing that made Rina and the rest of the girls have a cloud of doom appear over their heads; heaven's only know he was also a sadistic guy as well.
"You mean like Santa Clause?" Ichigo answered.
"Be quiet, Ichigo." Daisuke replied easily.
Daisuke soon spoke to his mother offering out all his hope. "As the days go by I began to be disappointed in even myself. I really want this to happen, mother. It's the only thing I can do that will make me feel like I'm much more than just your demon son."
This struck the indifferent woman in the heart as she grasped his shoulders. "If only you had a father and he was right here. I'm sure he would be just as proud as you just as much." She soon gave him a hug which everyone applauded too.
That peace would soon shatter as Ian appeared unexpectedly.
"Ian?" Everyone shouted with shock.
Aimi, who was also there (and the co-writer just forgot she's here till now) gave a small gasp "Ian!" She rushed towards him.
As if sensing was wrong with him Daisuke shouted out a warning to the teenage girl. "Aimi wait!"
She didn't heed his words as she opened her arms out about to embrace him with tender, loving care! "I'm so happy to see you're alright—"
SWACK!
Ian slaps her away from her, causing Naru, Shinobu, Misa, Mitsune, Mutsumi went to tend to the girl.
Daisuke, Makoto, Ayane, Kanadeko and Kimza could feel something off with the Urashima boy and this wouldn't be pretty. Daisuke takes point as he tells non-combatants to get to another part of the house as he charges towards his cousin! Throwing a punch it linked to Ian's cheek and sent him flying to the living room and destroying some stuff!
The half-breed charged up some demonic energy to his fists and continued his assault on his younger cousin. As he was about to land another punch Ian blocked it, to the glasses-wearing teen's surprise and soon met with a blow to the face sending him flying across and hitting the wall! Kanako and Kimza went to tend to the teen.
Rina growled as she commanded her snow leopard to attack Ian, to her aggravation. Toru gave a whimper as he didn't want to attack the person who always played with him but needed to protect his tamer. As he was about to go for a tackle Ian punched the tiger in the side of his stomach knocking him unconscious. Rina recoiled back in shock as she went to Toru.
"Ian…what happened to you?" She whimpered.
Yui got her trusty pan and about to smack him upside the head but all Ian did was glare at her which made her paralyze in fear. Chazona got the girl out of there and didn't want to fight Ian, as if sensing something amiss with his body and spirit.
Next was Foxy as she got him in a choke hold. "Come on Ian, why do this to us? Don't I can make a man out of you?" She tried seducing him. Some part of Ian came to the surface briefly as he blushed madly and on habit just pushed her away causing her to land on her rumpus. "Owwie! That's mean Ian!"
Ian soon went back to being possessed as he went for the next target, Ayane. The two-bladed girl fended him off well enough to get a couple of attacks against his body! Thrusting her swords in the sheathes, she readied her next attack and used Zanganken (Stone-Cutting Sword) which infused ki to her blades and sent a projectile at him!
Ian holds up a hand and repels the attack back at her and causing her to fall to the ground. Motoko had enough and wouldn't let her daughter hurt by a person who she loved as her nephew! She would have to use a technique to dispel the evil infused in the Urashima's son!
Flicking out as if she used Flash Step from the anime Bleach, Ian looked around for her. He didn't see her as she used air pressure to push him back. Trying to get up Ian turned to see that Motoko had vanished again.
He soon was met to the blow to the face, couretesy of the handle of the sword's handle.
'This is my chance!' Motoko thought as she readied Zanmaken Ni-no-Taichi (Evil-Cutting Sword, Second Strike) where the ki energy cuts the person possessed by an evil spirt but leaves said person unharmed.
As it was about to strike Motoko was repelled back with an unseen force, knocking her out!
Su tried as she got out a control and sent toy tanks and jets to attack Ian as if he was Godzilla trying to ruin Tokyo for the 100th time. It didn't work as Ian simply clapped his hands an electromagnetic pulse destroyed them and causing Su's remote to be destroyed.
Keitaro decided to go and attacked his son by utilizing all the martial arts he learned from his former teacher, Seta. The two went at it for a couple of minutes before Ian pulled off his dad's glasses and tossed them to the ground.
"Ack my glasses, I can't see without my glasses!" Keitaro cried which Ian face-palmed. Even if possessed he still didn't care for his father's more dorky nature.
All the combatants had fallen. Naru was about to go to her son but Shinobu and Misa stopped her.
Ichigo stood still and could only hold out a hand. "Come on dude, why do all this? We're friends aren't we?"
Ian thought on that matter and soon had memories appear of Ichigo screwing him over plenty of times. The blonde scowled a little and in an act of vengeance punched Ichigo hard in the face knocking him out.
Yeah, Ian was proud of himself to finally doing that. He soon grabbed his friend and vanished from the spot. This left the residence to gather themselves after a couple of minutes. Yui, who was being tended by her mother, said, " Such power…that couldn't be Ian."
Keitaro was still surprised by this. "Why would my son do that to the people he loves?"
Naru also comforted her husband and daughter, who was also scared for her brother.
"I know I told Ian he had the right to hurt people, but only when they try to hurt him. That was just him attacking his friends and family indiscriminately." She soon sobbed and had to be hugged by Keitaro.
"What happened to my son?"
Daisuke, who had a bandage wrapped around his stomach offered out a response.
"It wasn't Ian's fault, aunt Naru. He was possessed." He said to everyone's shock.

Kou Estate
After everything was getting settled and Gero explain about Ian, Akagi lamented that she couldn't stop Ian from taking her master.
"I have failed the simple maid task of looking after my master. I have failed him." She sounded distraught as her hands went to her head and cried.
Gero appeared surprised and wrapped an arm around her.
"Akagi, there's no need to cry" He said to her soothingly.
Akagi snapped at him. "Why shouldn't I Gero? I have failed my master. The one person who my life revolves around is gone!"
"If you keep crying than you're going to make me cry and then we will both be in trouble. You tried to save him, isn't that enough?" Gero asked her in a calm voice.
"But I'm far superior to any other member of this household." Akagi stated not seeing it that way. "I was supposed to be the one to protect him!"
Gero flinched a little. "Geez, that's a little mean, but you're not lying. You are the toughest girl I ever met. You beat me in everything we do." He lifted up her chin with a hand. "You're accomplished; you do the best you can."
Akagi appeared stunned and in awe on how Gero was acting. To her he was someone who'd say some fucking joke to get cheap laughs but this was something more.
Her usual hairstyle was undone and her long pink-hair cascaded down to her rumpus, which Gero liked seeing.
Akagi blushed. "Do you really think so? I'm not so sure, I lack common sense when it comes to the social norms of various activities we do."
"That's what makes it fun." Gero said smiling. "I like seeing you learn new things. It's worth while to me seeing you happy!"
This brought some tears to the maid's face as Gero said something else.
"That's why I'm sure if the chance arises you can save him!" Gero replied.
Akagi looked confused. "I can?"
His grin got bigger. "I might even know of a way to make that happen!"
