Time to finish this story which I hope you liked :)

To Grey Coincidence: You're right. Don't worry; Saisuke will have his time.

Dragonsaver: Yup, I wanted to take a chance with Mantis.

JesseIR: It's called breaking the fourth wall.

Grey Coincidence (again): It's okay, I respect your opinion. Thanks for supporting me up to that point.

The fight drained all of Alena's energy which forced her to rest for twelve hours straight. When she finally woke up, her friends and the villagers announced her that Orochi has been defeated and that the Nippon was safe again. This called for a full day of celebrations with our heroes getting praise for their accomplishment. To Reiya's joy, his beloved Kushinada was alright and she was able to make good sake for the whole village. Good thing Alena and her friends were not into drinking.

It was only the day after that times of goodbyes came. Alena, Mantis and Kasaiori were gathered at the entrance, saying goodbye to the whole village.

"Thanks again for everything you did for us, Alena, Demigoddess of the Sun and Moon." Mr. Mandarin said gratefuly. "We shall never forget your passage at the Kamiki village."

"Don't mention it." The black panther said with a small blush before turning to Reiya who had an arm wrapped around Kushinada, Saisuke, Tamaya and Naijiao. "Thank you guys for helping us. I truly appreciated it."

"Aww, don't be so modest about your own actions, darling." The chicken said with a charismatic smile which made Alena blush a bit.

"You two, try not to get too...naughty." Kasaiori said toward Reiya and Kushinada who both blushed.

"We'll try." The wolfess said and giggled.

"So, you really were Izagui's descendant during all this time?" Mantis said.

"Of course. Why? You didn't believed me?" Reiya cocked an eye brow.

"Of course not: we all though you were laying just to get people's recognition." Mantis honestly said which made the bear grump a bit.

"We wish you good luck in the future, Mantis." Tamaya said, speaking for himself and Naijiao. "If you came back seeing us someday, I'll try to make new bomb formulas for you."

"I'll keep that in mind." The bug smiled.

"And be nice with your girlfriend, alright?" The other goat added.

"It should rather be me that had to be nice with him." The eagle said with a smirk before nuzzling against the little bug.

"We should head back to the Valley of Peace now. I received words that some of our friends already arrived. But we'll come back someday. Bye!" Alena said and waved her paw at the village who returned the gesture as the trio walked away.

Skuya was watching them from the sky and smiled. "Thank you, young Alena..."

(Free Will from One Piece: it's the ending 9 theme song)

Aa hateshinaku tsuzuiteru sora no mukou ni

It's night time and, while Kasaiori and Mantis are sleeping together, Alena looks up at the sky

Itsuka mita asu wo ima egaki hajimete iru

With the stars and full moon shining, Alena smiles

Jibun ni makesou ni naru hi mo aru

We see Reiya sleeping next to many vases of sake

Sonna toki wa atatakana basho ga atta

Saisuke is playing flute in the Green Bamboo Forest while Tamaya is making fireworks in his house along with Naijiao helping him

Hokoreru mono itsumo kitto

Boku no senaka oshite kureta yo ne ?

Alena wake up her two friends who are surprised and look at the beautiful with her

Ah hoshitachi ga furisosogu kono sora no shita

Nido to nai...

Everything ends as the trio watches a shooting star passing in the sky and Alena looked down at her neck pendant...

Finish! Hope you enjoyed this story. Only Toka's remaining before our heroes can get back together :)
