The cover.
Kyou's narration: "I can't express memories about my brother in one word. I did not spend much time with my brother when we were young. Our feelings aren't deep... it's due to 'that' isn't it?
... that is why i don't understand why my brother did those things. I didn't know about anything. I can only feel horror by taking one look at my brother whom looks similar to me. It's as horrifying as something unknown to an extend that i thought it will be great if i can run away alone.
... until i found something i want to protect." which is Misao and Kyou worked hard to overtake his brother which might have hurt Shou.
Kyou's narration: "I did not consider about those feelings. Opponents who are aiming for the same thing, his feelings. If i had considered (his feelings), i will be hindered by it. It is alright for use to turn our back against each other. It is impossible for us to accept each other. Before we knows it, this continues till the end like someone important entrusted us to making bonds till who's life comes to an end first or who is able to take who's life first....
... now is the time."
Shou: "Kyou! Kill me properly."
Some Tengu: "It's the back to life spell! It has already started!"
Fuzen: " Sis! Sis!"
Some voice from behind: "Kaede is not breathing, there is no way to stop the spell. Shou-dono is still alive!"
Kyou thinking to himself "Is Shou still considered as considered as being alive? Is Kaede incompetent with her skills? Is it still possible for me to use the same technique to stop all these. "
Some voice from behind: "I've not seen such things before. It's unpredictable!"
Everyone look at Shou as changes take place in his body.
Kyou: "Don't come near, don't get involved!"
Tengu: "It's no use. He's uncontrollable."
Some Tengu: "Kyou-sama! He's more than beyond control!"
Kyou: "Eight Tengu! Formation! Three of you (kids), form the three points for the seal!"
Three kids: "Yes! SEAL!"
Eight Tengu are putting their power together trying to seal Shou but Houki is still recovering from his injuries thus he can't take it an collapse. Misao stood there watching.
Shou turns around as though he knows that Misao is watching and he rans towards her.
and Misao opens up her arms and a voice scream: "MISAO!!!"
Misao hugs Shou in her arms.
Some Tengu: "He has calmed down. Princess has... Shou-sama... "
Shou's thoughts "I cannot forgive... taking away everything from me. Even a small part of Misao's heart, it's impossible to return to me. A strong feeling of defeat with a tiny feeling of being save. Misao is a good person, she saved me."
And at the same instance, Kyou slashes his sword across Shou's back. Shou turns around, stretching out his hand towards Kyou's.
Shou starts burning out.
Kyou's narration: "Scared, antipathy, sympathy, guilty, threatened, resignation and jealousy... impossible to describe in one word."
Misao stood behind Kyou.
Kyou: "It all started after he said he's aiming for you. He said that and that is why i'm here now. It's obvious it's Misao."
Misao: "Kyou and Shou-san.... shaped each other."
Back to the human world.
Misao: "I'm home."
Kyou: "Don't worry, i've released the spell on your parents so it's as though you've just gone out for a while and came back home."
Misao's mother: "Welcome home."
Misao: "Mom, Dad.. i'm home."
Kyou: "I'm sorry to have taking Misao out for such a long time."
Misao's father: "What time do you think it is now"
Misao's mother: "I'm sure you had an enjoyable date!" and Misao's mom stops for awhile.
Misao asked: "Why"
Misao's mother: "Nothing, it's just...
... it's like its been a long time since i last saw Misao's face. Am i thinking too much?"
Misao cries.
Misao's mother: "Why are you crying? What happened?"
Misao: "Um.... something very very...
... sad happened."
***
Finally it's the end of this very long arc. Shou died. I feel kinda sad for him.
