The Final Chapter

Tokine gently brushed some stray hairs out of Yoshimori's face. She couldn't help but notice how innocent and fragile he looked when he was sleeping. She smiled at the thought of his reaction had he heard that last thought. Knowing him, he would go do something stupid or reckless to prove her otherwise. She then had to look away. The guilt was just too much for her to bear. This all happened because she was too slow to warn him about the other ayakashi, and now her closest friend, though she'd never admit it, was on the verge of death, AGAIN. She'd have to find a way to make it up to him after this whole thing was over. If he could manage to pull through that is.

She sighed and found that she was turning her gaze to stare at him once more. She noticed that the same stray hairs she had brushed away only moments ago, had fallen back to where they were before. She reached out to fix them again, when Masamori's voice caused her to jump and pull her hand back. She looked up to see Masamori, his grandfather, and her grandma all running towards her. Masamori was waving his hands and yelling at her. It wasn't until he got closer that she could hear what he was saying.

"Get away from him! He could still be dangerous, especially unconscious!" She quickly scrambled to her feet and moved out of the way. Masamori used his nenshi to bind his brother's arm's and legs then picked him up, slinging him over his shoulder.

"Let's go," he said as he turned to leave, "We need to hurry and get him back before any more damage can be done."

When they got back to the house, Shuji and Toshimori had already set up a room for them. Masamori laid Yoshimori on a table that was in the center of the room. He grabbed some scissors and cut his shirt away, exposing his abdomen. Tokine gasped at the sight. His wound was now deep purple in color and slightly swollen. Masamori shook his head then began to carefully cut away at the stitches. He used a towel to mop up the blood , then he peeled back some of the skin slightly and looked inside. He took a pair of tweezers and pulled out what looked like a golf ball sized fish egg that had hatched. Masamori frowned and set it down on the table. He then went back in and pulled out two more.

"Wh-What is that?" Toshimori asked

"Well," his grandpa replied,"They're eggshells, but the question is where did their inhabitants go?" Ironically at that moment three little miniature ayakashi crawled out. Tokine froze in pure shock when she saw them. They looked just like the ayakashi they face that night Yoshimori had gotten hurt. Almost instantly they began to zip around the room with intense speed. It took everyone a moment to process what was happening before they started to go after the ayakashi. Masamori was able to destroy two right away but the last one was a bit more difficult, especially when it began to launch mini lightning bolts at them. They didn't cause much damage but they were enough to make them stumble and slow them down. Eventually though after a few minutes, Tokine trapped it in her kekkai and destroyed it. Everyone gave a sigh of relief, it was finally over.

12 Days Later

Tokine stood awkwardly in front of the door. She could feel the butterflies fluttering around in her stomach as she raised a hand to knock on the door. She looked down, frowning at the slightly burnt and poorly made cake in her hands. She looked up when she heard the door open, grateful that it wasn't Yoshimori. She gave them a small smile and thank you and walked down towards the aforementioned's room. When she reached his room the door was already open and he was sitting at his desk fretting over notes for his next cake/house.

"Hey Yoshi," she said startling him out of his thoughts, "How are you feeling?" He looked up at her and a smile spred across his face.

"Hey Tokine, I'm great," he replied giving her a thumbs up, "Whatchya got there?" She could feel her face heat up as blush spread across her face.

"Well," she said setting the cake on his desk, "It's my sad attempt at baking a cake. I made it for you because I know how much you love cake and all...It's um...also my uh apology." He looked at her and tilted his head, now thoroughly confused.

"Apology? Tokine, what on earth are you talking about, there's nothing you need to apologize for." He then stood up so he could look her in the eyes better. She looked down as if now suddenly interested in fiddling with her hands.

"Actually, I do Yoshimori." She took a deep breath to steady herself. "It's my fault that you were hurt that night. I knew that ayakashi was there but I was too slow to warn you, or form a kekkai, or do anything to prevent it from happening, and as a result you got hurt, and almost died." Her voice began to crack as tears started to sting her eyes. "And.. and then at the school you fell down the stairs because I couldn't bear to talk to you and then you almost died again when those little ayakashi possessed you...so I'm sorry." The tears were now running down her cheeks. Now that she was finished she turned to leave, but was stopped by a hand on her wrist. She looked back to see Yoshimori staring at her with a sad smile. With his other hand, he reached forward and wiped a stray tear from her face. Then he suddenly pulled her into a tight hug.

"Tokine," he began with a sigh,"It's not your fault. I knew the ayakashi was there also, my reflexes just weren't as fast as I thought they were. Please stop blaming yourself. In fact I should be the one apologizing. I'm sorry for making you worry and putting you through all of that, but I'm better now so please don't cry. I promise I won't scare you like that again." He then turned to go back to his notes, but like Tokine he was also stopped by the other grabbing his wrist. But to his surprise, he was met with a pair of lips crashing into his own instead. Of course since he wasn't expecting it at all he froze and just stood there like an idiot. After a moment she pulled away, now bright red.

"I-I'm sorry I-I-I don't know what came over me." she stuttered completely embarrassed. Yoshimori, who finally came out of his daze, only chuckled. Then he gently grabbed her chin and lifted it so she was looking at him.

"I think I do." He said with a slight smirk before pulling her close and kissed her passionately.

...The End! :D
