The next day...

"How is it going?" Mamoru asks Chrono, who had learned that they had found his sister.

"He's still unconscious, but ..." the redhead replies.

"But?" Mamoru asks ...

"I would like Tokoha to stay in the Shion apartment." the redhead replies.

"You mean where were you living for a while?" said Mamoru.

"I promise you nothing will happen to her, I'll be on the lookout for her at all times." Chrono answers, while taking the hand of Tokoha who was still unconscious.

"And I know I can trust you, but ... my father will not like that idea." the young green guy told Chrono.

"Then let's think about something, because we can't tell him what happened, can we?" Chrono answers who also had his point.

"NOOOOO!" Tokoha shouts at him, who wakes up suddenly.

"I see that you've already awakened sleeping beauty, I'll leave you alone, I'll go for water and other things." Chrono said to him, who was leaving the room.

"Nii-san, we can talk ..." Tokoha said sadly.

"What's wrong?" Said her brother, who saw her worried ...

"This is a battle we can't win ..." she replies.

"why do you say that?" Mamoru asks ...

"Steve told me that the only way to beat him was ... that I will forget about Miguel, and finish him, I don't know if I ... can do it." Tokoha replies, who begins to cry.

(Sighs) "I think you shouldn't talk to me about this, I think you should talk about this with Chrono-kun." her brother said to her as he hugged her.

"But ... what if I hurt him? ... or what if he brake our relationship?, I couldn't live with it." she answers, while she continued crying in the arms of her brother.

"I don't think that happens ... right Chrono-kun?" said Mamoru, who saw something red behind the door.

"I told you when I gave you that card ... it's part of your past, right? We'll think about something." said Chrono, who was a little sorry for having listened to the conversation.

"Well it's time to go!" said Mamoru.

"Where?" Tokoha asks them.

"We'll return to the department of Shion, there you will be more calm and safe." Chrono says to her.

"Wait ... Did you say we'll come back?" she asks him.

"Yeah, Chrono-kun said he would take care of you so they don't come back to kidnap you." his brother answers him.

"Well, let's go!" Chrono said to him, who was beginning to blush.


Already in the department ...

"Well ... I have to go, Ibuki wants us to inform him of what happened, as soon as I finish I'll bring a suitcase with clothes for Tokoha." Mamoru would say goodbye to both of them.

"Yes, if you get to know anything else, let us know." say Chrono and Tokoha.

(laughs) "Of course I'll keep it in mind ..." Mamoru replies before leaving.

"It seems that there is no one anymore." said a voice that both young people recognized immediately.

"Dran!" said both young people.

"Hello how have you been?" asks the little dragon.

"Good, but ... What are you doing here, Dran?" the redhead asks him.

"Well, I wanted to see how you were following Chrono, besides ... there is someone who wants to thank you." Dran answers him.

"Good morning ..." said a voice that came from behind the Chrono Dran portal.

"You are Ahsha, right?" Tokoha said seeing a blurred silhouette.

"Surprise!" shouted Chrono Dran.

"Well, yeah it's a surprise, but ... what are you doing here?" asks Chrono.

"There is something we have to talk to you about, do you mind if we take a seat?" Ahsha tells them.

"Go ahead ..." Chrono answers, while they take a seat.

"First of all ... thank you very much! Shindou Chrono, I am indebted to you for saving my Vanguard." Ahsha tells him, who had Dran on his legs.

"You're welcome, even if I did it without being asked, because I ... because I love this girl!" Chrono answers Ahsha, while he embraces Tokoha.

"Yeah, that's what it looks like, plus Dran noticed when he saw them in the hospital." Princess Neo Nectar answers.

"The other reason we're here is because of that ..." Dran says pointing to the decks of Chrono and Tokoha.

"Do you mean the new cards we receive?" Tokoha asks the little one.

"Something like that ..." Ahsha replies.

"You see ... Antero Ahsha's protector died as you should already know, but ... part of him stayed with her, while the other part stayed with Messiah, as an entity." the dragon commented to them both.

"Excuse me but ... Is it possible that this entity makes Diftride with a person so that person can't disappear?" Tokoha asks them both.

"I don't understand?" Ahsha answers, in that moment Chrono explains everything that had happened during these days ...

"I understand ... unfortunately it won't work, since Antero is now an observer that is part of one of his possible futuresof both of you, what I want to say is that he is the card that Chrono has in his hand." Dran answers, putting his hand on Tokoha's shoulder.

"Then we can't do anything?" Chrono told both of them.

"Well ... according to what you told me there are two options, but they aren't the best." the dragon answers him.

"Which are?" Tokoha asks him.

"The first ... would be to forget it, think about it now you have Chrono and a new life, if you don't do it this could only bring problems in the future." Dran answers him.

"What is the second option, Dran?" the redhead asks him.

"The second option would be to do the same thing we did with Ryuzu and give it a new start, but without the Stride Gate it will be more difficult." Dran answers him.

"We have to try." Chrono answers him.

"Well, I'll talk to the rest of the Zodiac Time Beast and if I know something I'll inform you." Dran says...

"I request you." Chrono responds for Tokoha to calm down a bit.

"Well, it's time to go, rest well guys." says Ahsha who says goodbye to Dran of both young people.

"They are right, we should rest, especially you, today you had a very difficult day." said Chrono, standing on the couch.

"Thank you honey ..." she answers in a very low tone.

"Do not worry, Dran and the others will find a solution." Chrono told her as he hugged her.

"I know, but ..." she replies.

"but?" the redhead asks him.

"I can not sleep here, I do not have any clothes here." said Tokoha, who was right.

"Here, maybe it's a little big for you?" Chrono responds, while pulling a shirt out of his suitcase.

"thank you!" Tokoha told Chrono.

"She looks very pretty" thought the redhead.

"Ready ... though, I think and you were right." Tokoha answers, who had left to change.

"Well, I'll go to sleep, good night!" the redhead said to her.

"Stop there!, will you sleep on the floor or on the couch again?" Tokoha asks Chrono.

"Well, of course, what do you expect? That I'll sleep with you?" Chrono answers, while Tokoha just smiles at him.

"Me and my big mouth ..." muttered the redhead.

"By the way, Chrono, aren't you cold?" Tokoha asks the redhead.

"No, let me sleep." he answers.

"Well, thank you anyway for saving me again." she was saying to Chrono, who at that moment noticed something that took him out of concentration.

"Hey, why?" Chrono asked him when he felt a very soft sensation in the back, but Tokoha didn't answer him since he had become asleep.

"Oh sure ... perfect." Chrono answers sarcastically who falls asleep at the end.
